Aether X Everyone Novels & Stories

"I can't feel the brothers. It’s just... you. It’s just us." "The loop is broken, Lixie," I said, leaning my head on his shoulder. Nathaniel appeared at the hatch of the Vesper, his silver-logic suit now a simple suit of grey fabric. He looked at his hands with a look of profound, scientific wonder. "Emma... the Aether didn't vanish. It Integrated. It’s in the water now. It’s in the air. The whole planet is 'Resonating' at a low, sustainable level. We didn't kill the magic. We Democraticized it."

The fate of their packs, the Blood Moon and the Shadow Fang, hung in the balance between them, a fragile peace shattered by a single, undeniable truth. They shared a fated mate. Aethyra stood between them, her heart hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird. She was human, a fact that should have made her fragile, but the power thrumming through her veins was anything but. It was a latent force, a key waiting to turn in a lock. She could feel it responding to them, a searing heat answering Xyrex’s fire, a cool, deep resonance harmonizing with Zhilax’s ice. Their combined gazes felt like physical touches, one hot, one cold, stripping her bare.

Riya: "Athens. 5 sites left." Ethan stood up. Despite the wound. "Let's go?" Ethan. Everyone stood. "Team." Ethan held out his hand. Everyone put their hands in. "For Arjun." Everyone said. "For each other." David added. Everyone nodded.

“Mr. Dream, the sponsors from AetherTech just arrived.” I went still. Gloss’s hand brushed mine lightly, grounding me. “You’ve got this,” he murmured under his breath. I nodded once. “Show them in.” The doors opened. A group of sharply dressed representatives entered, all smiles and handshakes. The lead woman, sleek black suit, cold eyes, introduced herself as Dr. Evelyn Rae, head of operations. “Mr. Dream, it’s an honor. AetherTech congratulates you on a decade of innovation.”

I could feel the solar pull of the baby answering him, like a string tied between us. If I moved, the torches would flicker. If I breathed too deep, he would smell it. Brenda shifted behind me. I could hear her. She was going to speak... she was going to ruin this. Zeth lifted his hand and rubbed his thumb over the sun tattoo on his chest. “My condolences for your losses,” he said to Xander. “The Crescent Order is a problem for all of us.” Xander nodded once. “We need an alliance.”

illummino said, "Wait what do you mean my aunt so to say?" jason asked, Aether face palmed himself in exasperation and shook his head while glaring at his father who looked sheepishly, "Jason, it-" "Do not say it is not your place to say or I will hit you where the sun doesn't shine" I said, Aether looked confused, " where does the sun not shine?" He said, Jason just waved it away, "That was the same you said for terra and I found out we were bonded" he said looking at illummino,

He should’ve just had the limo drop her at the jet and made her wait on him. He hadn’t realized how uncomfortable it would make him to have her alone with Britany. He should’ve known she’d try and befriend Alannah. That’s just how Britany was. She instantly liked everyone, and unless they did something to not deserve her trust, she gave everyone the benefit of the doubt. Darius accepted a glass of wine from Erik and downed half the glass. He had to refocus and get his head back in the game. He wouldn’t let unwanted emotions get in his way. The Jacksons had to pay for what they’d done.

It’s a full crew: me, both my mates, Alexander, Rowen, Summer, Jared, Evanora, Edward, Jareth, Citra, Michael, Hawk, Jaiden, Meredith, Gael, Hakeem, Charlie, Isaac, and Lacy. “You ready for this?” Hermes asks. The bravado is gone. There are dark circles under his eyes—something I didn’t think gods even had. He looks… worried. That’s not a good sign. “As we’ll ever be,” Xander says. Hermes nods. “Everyone link hands. Two of you need to touch me directly.” We all form the chain. When he’s sure we’re connected, Hermes grabs Arya’s hand on one side and Jaiden’s on the other.

"Your Beta denies me dignity, my love. I requested funds to prepare for Aetherion. He called me a parasite." Mason watched the performance. He had seen it before. Would see it again. Felt only exhaustion sinking into his marrow. "Is this true?" Jaxon asked. "She drained three accounts in four hours," Mason said. "On perfume." "On preparation," Selene corrected. "I cannot arrive at Aetherion looking destitute. Not when -" she stopped. Caught herself. Not when we must outshine a ghost. Lumira's name hung unspoken. No one had uttered it in this tower since the funeral. Mason saw Jaxon's jaw tighten - the only fracture in his composure.

“They built the first prototypes of the Acoustic Prism to create a global harmony. But harmony without choice is just a prison.” “And now,” Xander stepped forward, his expression grim, “the man leading the charge is someone we all know. Elias Vaughn.” The name hung in the air like a curse. Vaughn, the CEO of Aether-Tech and a man who had navigated the halls of power for decades, was no longer just a shadowy benefactor or a corporate rival.
