Asteria D´Angelo “Zane, are you sure?” I asked him for the nth time. I didn't want to sound selfish or overbearing, but knowing that they will be part of the team replicating the possible weapon and developing an antidote makes me wary. He has spent most of his life inside a lab, being experimented on, and now he is back in that position again… only this time, he will not get experimented on, at least I hope he doesn´t volunteer. “I want to,” he sighed, and I took a deep breath.“Can I be there?” I asked, and he wrapped his arms around me.“I was hoping you would offer,” he kissed my temple, and I melted into his touch. “Alright, lovebirds…” Iris broke our hug, and I leaned into Zane´s chest, blushing. “Evangel and Samantha will meet us at the lab,” she said, and Zane nodded.“Shall we leave?” Aunt Charmaine said, and Zane nodded.“Sure,” he laced his fingers with mine, an

Elisa D´Angelo I felt as if a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. As soon as I walked out of Mat's office, I sighed, the relief of how that meeting happened, and how humble and loving my big brother was, melted every wall, and gave me the comfort to start healing the wounds that were created by the whole situation. I could understand how and why things happened the way they did, but it didn't make it less painful. But his heartfelt apology gave me hope that he now understands how I was hurt in the process. He also trusted me; he wanted me to help him prepare the city and its resources to protect his people. That is usually the task of the Luna or Queen, but Iris is busy with a bigger task, one that will save lives during the war. Matty trusted me with his people, and I am going to do everything in my power to step up to the plate and do whatever needs to be done for the less favored to survive whatever is to come to

Roger That night, it was a nightmare, not only because I couldn't sleep, but when I closed my eyes, the nightmares increased. Angie noticed, and several times during the night, she asked me if I was fine. I hate to lie to her, but I did. I told her that I was fine; I didn't want her to worry more than she already was. She was worried not only because there was a conflict brewing right under our asses, but because I was in the middle of it all. Not only that, her entire family, her backbone was also on the line. I could feel her emotions more vividly. Lately, it was as if the bond had snapped more profoundly, and I could feel her, deep in my bones, her worry, her love, her concern, her anger. She is young, and she is starting her life, and now she is in the middle of her entire world, and reality is crumbling and falling apart, because some people can´t accept that the human race is inferior. As

Angelo D´Angelo How could we not notice that he was special? I mean, he was the man I am in love with, my fated mate, and that was special enough for me. I didn´t need him to be supernatural; I didn´t care if he was just a regular human. I never cared, because my heart saw him for what he was worth. A man with strength, not force or power. But the real strength lies in being through suffering and resilience. I saw him for what he was, a man who had lived a life, gone to the pits of hell and came back, stronger, more mature, kinder… Instead of allowing those experiences to tarnish his essence, he used them as a reminder of what he never wanted to live, and of what he wanted to avoid. He never turned to alcohol or drugs; he was wise enough to allow himself to feel the pain. The pain of not being able to protect Ava, the pain of seeing people get hurt and not being able to intervene, the pain of the

Elisa D´Angelo “Pregnant?” I mumbled, and Angie laughed.“Well, you could be, if you are not being careful…” Asteria said, and my entire blood drained from my face.“Careful?” I mumbled, and my sisters saw me as if I had grown a second head. “Hun, you have been careful, right?” Angie said, and I bit my lower lip.“I…” I didn´t want to tell them that I had no idea how to prevent a pregnancy.“Elisa?” Asteria looked at me with concern across her features.“Are you on the pill? The patch? Counting days? Having sex only when you are sure there won't be a pregnancy? Is he pulling out?” Angie said, “Are you guys using condoms?” She said, and I shook my head to all of those. “We haven´t had time to discuss any of it,” I mumbled, feeling lost and ashamed.
