“Differences?”I nodded to Sam. “Someone who has become an Omega is different than someone who is like Noah and Finn.”Sam opened his mouth but I put my hand up.“I’ll explain. A changed Omega will test as an Omega and their mannerisms and even hormones will adjust before even meeting their mate. However, no bodily changes will occur until your mate marks you.”Charles raised his hand and I raised my eyebrow at him.“This isn’t a classroom, you don’t have to raise your hand.”“It’s a non-related but related to marking.”I cocked my head to the side.“Can a human mark a werewolf?”I broke out in a grin. “Yes, a human can mark a werewolf. It’s the same way a werewolf would mark a human. A bite. You just have to bite a little harder.”Sam chuckled and Charles just nodded.“Now, back to what I

*** Silas POV *** I stared down at my desk, not reading the words on the page in front of me. Turning around, I looked out the window of my office. There was so much going on right now, it was hard to concentrate.‘You should call Aelia. See if you can talk to her.’I sighed. ‘Noah and Finn won’t let her. They blame me for her getting that bad. Which, partially, was my fault. I should have just taken her home knowing she used her power.’Eros quieted and I rubbed my face. It had been four days and still she wasn’t doing well. While Noah was beyond angry with me, Finn at least would text me with updates of her condition. Neither of them allowed me to speak to her but at least I had something.Then there was Nate. He had holed himself in his room this entire time. I had Meredith refuse to give him food unless he came out. He stopped eating all together. I tried to coax him out of the room with some of his favorite things but he refused. Nate wouldn’t talk to anyone, look at anyone. It

“I think we have been navigating those waters pretty terribly.” I answered and Aelia chuckled, the light coming back in her eyes.“Well, it’s not really something you can prepare for. I’m just glad you took my advice dear.” Maggie reached out and took Aelia’s free hand in hers.I reached out and took a drink of the wine glass I had left on the table. “When she first told me, I didn’t want to believe her. She did say you were the one to push her to tell us. Thank you for that. It’s not easy but I don’t know what I would have done if I found out she never told us.” Glaring at Aelia, she stuck her tongue out at me.Nate squeezed her hand. “He’s right. We might have brought you back only to kill you ourselves.”She shrugged. “Good luck with that. I fully intend on enjoying my afterlife, thank you very much. All the coffee and whisky I can have. It’s been over a week since I’ve had coffee. That’s its own torture.”Laughing, I shook my head. “The acid…”“Goddess, shut up! I don’t care! Let

*** Solaris POV *** I felt bad. The lightheartedness that we had when we walked into Maggies was sucked out of the air when I nearly died. Or I did die, as Noah continued to angrily remind me. Finn wouldn’t let me out of his eyesight, even for a moment. Which even included me going to the restroom until I finally slammed the door in his face. Nate seemed like a lost puppy, not knowing what to do or how to help. Silas was probably the most stable out of the four of them. He was a pillar and I relied on him more than the other three. It was nice to have someone mentally stable enough to continue as normal as he could.Maggie was as sweet as ever, also being a pillar of strength but I knew this time I’d finally broken through her thick skin. Her kids came over with all their grandkids and I was able to ignore the guys for a night which was fun. I was attacked by Giana and Ben as well as Christian and Evie. It was a giant cuddle pile that ended with me leaning against Huey and the rest o

It was hard to convince Silas that it would be alright but I did my best. My Dad left after dropping that bomb and a long list of things I needed to do to ensure that I would be alright till then. His overbearing and overprotectiveness was coming off him in waves but I couldn’t fault him. It was the last time I was ever going to see him. Silas left, still reeling but a little more stable as I gave him a list of things he needed to do.Right now, we had a bit of time. We would need it too. The Hunters were trying to gather enough of a force to actually compete with Silas’ pack. However, I didn’t know if they knew how many of my force they knew I had. It was going to be a chore pulling them all together but I knew I could within a reasonable amount of time. I started going through the checklist of things I needed to start in motion as I walked up the stairs.Halfway up, I grabbed the railing Noah had installed. The numbness in my leg was starting to creep in more and more. Squeezing my
