For eight years, I quietly funneled cash into Donna Marina's wedding business, no questions asked. Two days left on our contract, and I'm white-knuckling it, wondering if I should keep the money flowing. She's asked for a divorce ninety-nine times. Ninety-nine. And I was dumb enough to think it was because I worked too much, because I wasn't around. Turns out? Nah. She's been wiring $500K a year—every year—to some guy named Alec Humbert. Slapped an "ILU" on every transfer.

She said with tears in her eyes and looked at him. “I have no reason.” He replied and she sighed. “Can we talk about the contract?” “If you are okay with it” “It's not like I have a choice, the only way you have sex is through that way.” She sighed and kept going through it. “It says here that you only spend thirty days with your sub, why are you spending ninety days with me?

It looked like a phone number. "10,000,000,000 UNIVERSAL CREDITS." Ten billion. It was enough to buy this entire city. It was enough to buy a small country. It was enough to make a saint murder his own mother. "ADDITIONAL BOUNTIES: 1 BILLION PER ACCOMPLICE."

lenses on the soldiers' helmets explode. "Go!" Hope yelled. I grabbed Silas’s shadow-hand—or rather, the "Signal" of it—and ran for the window. We dived out into the night, landing on the wet grass of a real-world backyard. I looked up at the sky. It wasn't purple or gold. It was a deep, infinite black, dotted with billions of real, uncoded stars. But as I looked at the stars, I saw something that made my heart stop. The stars weren't just stars. They were arranged in a **Grid**.

Gavin said, taking her hand and slowly beginning to guide her back away from the dock. Morgan, Orion, and Gavin began to walk back towards the house. Ariadne was hanging back. As she watched the stars start to twinkle in the night sky, dark sails came in view on the harbor. She gasped at the ghostly sight as it sailed almost motionless towards the dock. “Momma.” Ariadne squeaked with happiness.

"It seems that these guys are still unwilling to give up! In this case, when Prohibition is repaired, I must have a good time with you." Zephyr Khan's voice slowly sounded, with wisps of cold killing aura. "Rumble..." A bright light flashed, and in an instant, the power of the stars above the void began to be infused. The next moment, everything within a radius of 10,000 meters was enveloped by the starlight. All the surrounding areas were lit up in an instant, but all of them disappeared very quickly in the blink of an eye.

Orion said to her, squeezing her shoulder. Danica shut her eyes and ran her fingers over the chest. She could feel all the buttons but she needed to know which order to push them. There were so many constellations in the night sky and some were very close in shape to others. She skimmed her fingers over the buttons once more. Her eyes shot open. She glanced at Ariadne. It was perfect. “It’s Ariadne’s crown.” Danica said smiling to Ariadne.

Rosa explained. My face dropped, "What?" "You don't know?" Rosa asked. "So Leo hasn't bored you with all the Neptune/Astraea shit yet?" Mateo asked. "Language Mateo," Rosa said as Elena elbowed him in the ribs. "And do not disrespect the Goddesses like that." "He told me some things about how the pack formed and the traditions," I replied, "but he said nothing about having ten kids." "Pack legend says when the pack formed, a star constellation called Lupus with ten bright stars," Rosa explained, "Each one blesses the Alpha with a beautiful child."

his voice booms in the silent night. We both are left stunned, I think we didn't expected them to agree or we didn't expected the ultimatum. "I agree" Theo answers finally, Elder Francis nods. "By the moon goddess hereby witness I Elder Francis along with the two other elders of the Red Moon Pack bless Theodore and Celeste as choosen mates until or unless they don't complete the agreed upon condition" he lifts his hand towsrds us and a blue light emits from his palm. My shoulders sag in relief, Theo turns to me and engulfs me into a tight hug. I pull him closer taking in his scent.
