Aaron leaned in and kissed her lips, and Zion made an ooh sound, making them pull away from each other. He had returned from his tour of the house so quickly. Aaron’s affectionate kiss, however, seemed to have banished the fear that had lingered in her, and only he had the power to do that to her.She banished the fear that clouded her mind and focused on the event happening today. It was Zion’s big day, after all.The guests began arriving at exactly 5 p.m., and the first to arrive were Diya, Greg, Nine, and Nina. Zion looked the most excited to see them, and the girls also had excited looks on their faces at his sight. Zion ran over to them, got on his knees, and spoke to them. The girls giggled, as if understanding the words Zion told them.A few other guests arrived following Diya, and then Ivan arrived, surprising them by coming along with a young, red-haired beauty in his arms. It was an upgrade no one expected but appreciated. They looked more than mere acquaintances, and they

To say Zion had anticipated today would be to say the least. The excitement on his face in the morning during breakfast was impeccable. It was the day of his competition, and he appeared more than confident. He had worked hard to prepare himself physically and mentally for the day ahead. He had listened, learnt and perfected his knowledge just to bring the very best to today, and he deserved to be happy for it. The look on his face told them he was confident in himself and his team, and the other team should watch out for them.Zera, along with Aaron, had cleared out all her schedule today because the most important person was Zion, and the rest would follow behind. They had received the invitation card to the competition venue last week, and it would be at the Bristol Academy, their opponent’s school. It didn’t matter if they were going to meet the competition or if the competition was coming to meet them; they were going to win.At 12:30 p.m., the school bus came to a stop at the pa

The shift was slowly reaching its end for today, and Aaron made Ivana take the lead. He and Zera took a detour to a quieter part of the woods, where they would get the privacy they needed.At first, Zera didn’t know what Aaron was doing but followed, regardless. Soon she did, and her heart beat peaked. It wasn’t her first time with him—far from it—but there was something about the full moon mating that she could never wrap her head around. It always heightened the feeling and made it all appear to be like the first time, even when it wasn’t. The rush, the thrill, the emotions, the need, and the desire.It was something else, and she didn’t tire of experiencing it.“Aren’t we going too far away?” She asked, her tone a little curious.“I know, but I do not want to be interrupted, do you?”She shook her head. “No, I do not,” she replied, and she followed behind without another word.Aaron soon came to a stop in a clear path and turned to her with a smile on his face.“Here’s okay,” he sai

It didn’t add up; if Quincy didn’t see the future about Lionel, it meant he didn’t see into the future, and if he didn’t see into the future, then he didn’t know Lionel would undergo any unmarking; hence, his words to her had nothing to do with his unmarking, but the pattern he had noticed with Lionel.It meant Lionel’s state wasn’t a result of the unmarking but rather a result of himself. It made sense why Ivan couldn’t tell what had happened.What could Lionel have done to himself to bring him to the place he is now? She had come here hoping for an answer, and now that answer had thrown her into a sea of further confusion.“That means he wouldn’t be able to help with Lionel’s condition,” she mumbled to herself.“I am sorry; I wish I could have been of much help, but this is all I can do.”She smiled and shook her head. He had helped more than she expected.He picked up his pen when she spoke up. “If Quincy is a watcher, has he seen anything about me and Zion?” He paused, dropped the

The Hart Laboratory was the project Aaron had embarked on in the last two years; it was geared towards creating better lives for everyone. He shared his plans with Zera first, then his siblings, then the board members of the company. They all thought it was an excellent idea and gave their support. The purpose of the lab wasn’t to support humans alone but also their kinds. The machines and equipment were two times stronger and could withstand their strengths and differences. Using this lab, they could create effective herbs and medical aids for their kind in multiple ways. Since many of them couldn’t go to the human labs to get themselves tested and treated, the lab would help a lot.“I need you to tell the hard truth about all your findings on our progress so far. The truth hurts, but now that’s what we need.”“You’re so right; the truth hurts, but it is what we all need, and that’s why I’m here.” Aaron heard a voice say something from the side of the door, and he sprang to his feet.
