Some spiral symbols were also decorating his head, starting from the top of his skull--since he was bald, they were noticeable--ending up below his eyes. "No, I told you! My name is Sirius! The brightest star!" the boy shouted as he pointed his finger towards the sky. The shimmering sea of the universe, although unfamiliar compared to the one he was used to, was the only thing that made the boy feel nostalgic about his former world. If only that geezer stopped calling him Astar, it would be great. "Astar!" the man repeated as he shook his head and pointing toward the sky too. "No, I am Sirius!"

Kael inhaled deeply, eyes fluttering half-closed in pure male satisfaction. “Bed, little wolf. Before I break every ethical line I set today.” I fled to the guest room like a coward, but sleep wouldn’t come. Hours later, I padded barefoot down the hall toward the kitchen for water. Light spilled from the living room. Kael was there, shirtless, pacing with a tablet in hand. Scars crisscrossed his back and shoulders—old battles, power earned in blood. Moonlight silvered the strong lines of his body. My mouth went dry.

This rule has always governed my life. “Fuck it!” I muttered. It was obvious that I was growing impatient. A sleek black car pulled up at the curb with a smooth purr. The driver stepped out and opened the back door and a woman emerged. She wore a stunning red gown that clung to her curves, her nipples slightly visible and her heels clicked on against the pavement as she stepped out of the car. The men on the sidewalk couldn't help but stare at her lustfully. I quickly walked to her to guard my treasure from their preying eyes.

She had the warm cup of tea she kept forgetting to drink, and the Shunned Star texts open on the side table — third volume, the one she had finally gotten to on her cleared day two weeks ago and had been returning to in pieces since. "I'm awake," she said. "You should sleep." "I will," he said, which they both understood to mean he wouldn't, not yet. He came in and sat across from her in the other armchair — his chair — and the fire burned between them and the Citadel was quiet in the way it was only at the very deepest hours.

It has been foretold that once you begin to read the tale of Aphrodite you are unable to stop until the very end. If you are still reading, I say you are either very brave or very stupid. I pray for you...

Yet, the very same dark skin is as smooth as silk.

Teyla leans her head against my shoulder, and I can feel her heartbeat matching mine in a steady rhythm. “Look at all those stars,” she says, her voice dreamy. “It’s like they’re celebrating us.” I glance up, marveling at the brilliance of the night sky. “Just like we’re celebrating our love,” I reply, turning to capture her gaze once more. “Every star up there is a promise, a reminder of all we can be together.” She smiles softly, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “I want to fill our lives with adventures, Thorn. I want to explore everything together..: every corner of this world, and every corner of each other’s hearts and bodies.”

I looked at Lucian, the toddler was standing in the center of the falling light, his small hands outstretched, unlike everyone else, he wasn't losing his glow, the Starlight flakes seemed to dance around him, afraid to touch his skin. ‘They are the ghosts of dead suns, Mother,’ Lucian’s voice vibrated in my mind, a hauntingly mature resonance, ‘The Star-Eater has eaten a thousand kingdoms to make this storm, it wants us to go to sleep so it can swallow the core.’ "I won't let it," I said, my voice dropping into the resonant, unyielding tone of the Platinum Anchor.

••• Linda looked out from her room window and saw something in the still-bright sky, as she looked closely she observed it was… It was the red star. The red star appears every month only to the families that are next to the ruling, it's different from the sacred star and it must be backed up by a sacrifice by every member of that family. Linda's family has been performing the sacrifice for close to a decade that's why Denovon was sure of the ruling power going to his family since they have been seeing the red star and it must be kept a secret.

And these two features, coupled with my slim body, my height, and my pretty face, made me look more like an I*******m model. And though the chauffeur was focused with his driving, he couldn’t help staring occasionally at me through the head mirror, and I, too, remained calm, pretending not to have noticed he was stealing glances of me from the mirror. “Can I get anything from Tatiana?”. I posed, removing my black sunglasses, revealing pretty white eyes. “I don’t think I have anything from Tatiana, but I guess Adele will be good for an hour journey”. Said the chauffeur.

She seized Father's wrist, her face full of disbelief. "Gideon Frost! I climbed the steps to the Chapel of Wisdom on my knees for that charm the year we married.
