~∆~ Rain's POV ~∆~Jackson's apartment feels small with all of us here, but it's the safest place we could meet on short notice. Luna is lying on Jackson's couch, looking pale and weak, while our parents sit stiffly in the corner chairs.Nothing could have prepared me for the sight of my sister with those dark veins of silver poisoning snaking up her arms. Her breathing is shallow and labored, but her eyes are alert."Luna," I whisper, kneeling beside the couch and taking her hand in mine. It's ice cold."Rain," she breathes, managing a weak smile. "You came back.""Of course I came," I tell her, squeezing her hand gently. "James called our parents too. They're here."Moonbeam moves closer to examine Luna, her presence immediately noticeable to everyone in the room as they turn to look at her. "May I?" she asks, gesturing toward Luna's poisoned arms."This is James's mate, Moonbeam," I explain quickly. "She has knowledge about the Guardian portal that might help."Luna nods weakly, b

~∆~ Rain's POV ~∆~The second I hear my mother's words. I surrendered to all the rage, fear, and desperation I've been holding back for days. It all broke with the careful control I've been clinging to, the last shreds of faith I had in my family.My wolf roars to life, more violent than I've felt since the curse first took hold of me. The room seems to shrink around me as my anger clouds my judgement, turning everything red.I lunge forward and grab my mother by the shoulders, my fingers digging into her shoulders. The rational part of my mind screams to let go, to control myself, but I can't. "I can forgive everything else, Mother," I snarl, my voice coming out cold. "The curse, the exile, choosing James over me, all of it. But what I will never, ever forgive is if anything happens to Mariah.""Get your hands off me, boy," she says with chilling calm, not even trying to struggle against my grip. Her voice carries an authority that makes me more angry like she's speaking to a disob

~∆~ Mariah's POV ~∆~The silence that follows my mother's outburst about my father being the murdered prince feels like the entire world holding its breath in my head.I can feel everyone's eyes on me, waiting for my reaction, but honestly? I'm still trying to process the fact that my sweet, Catholic mother just sent Rain's mother flying across the room with a single kick.She has surprised me twice today, and I still don't know what to make of the surprises she has been giving me. Ugh... Would it have been so bad to be just human oh God?"Mom," I say slowly, my voice sounding strange in my own ears, "what exactly haven't you told me?"She turns to look at me, and for the first time in my life, I see her not as my protective, worried mother, but as someone with a lot of pain and vulnerability. The woman who used to fret over whether I was eating enough vegetables and getting enough sleep apparently has been hiding the fact that my father was supernatural royalty and she knows he was

~∆~ Mariah's POV ~∆~The walls suddenly explode. Everyone fell to the ground expecting another attack. When we stood up and looked around, we found the explosion wasn't from bombs or bullets.Instead, in its place were seven tall figures. They step through the broken pieces like they're walking through air. Their skin glows between white and blue, and their eyes look like winter storms. Kane's coffee table gets thrown across the room. His favorite TV crashes to the floor. Poor guy spent years getting this place just right, and now it's getting wrecked by these dense fools who think they own everything."My gaming setup!" Jackson yells as his PlayStation gets crushed under falling debris. How the hell did he carry a gaming station through the portal?"I just bought the new FIFA!" He cries out again."Really?" Luna asked sarcastically, looking at him as if she were imagining ways to smash his head against a wall. "We're about to die and you're worried about soccer games?""It's footb

~∆~ Rain's POV ~∆~Moonbeam's mother, who seems to be the leader of the seven nobles, smiles devilishly as if she has been waiting for this opportunity all her life.I realized from her expression that Mariah made the worst decision. "Then I will fulfill your wishes half-breed. I will make the punishment swift and fitting," she says. "Each crime will receive its proper consequence."She waves her hand, and suddenly I can't move. It's like invisible chains are holding me in place. I try to shift, try to call on my wolf, but nothing happens. We're all stuck in one place."Elena Rivera," the woman says, looking at Mariah's mom. "Your crime was corrupting royal blood and creating an abomination. Your punishment is death.""No!" Mariah screams, but the sound barely comes out through whatever spell is holding us.A beam of red light shoots from the noble's hand straight at Elena's chest. She doesn't even have time to scream. The light hits her, and she just... crumbles. "MOM!" Mariah's v
