Aether X Scaramouche Novels & Stories

We needed to save Hecate first and I was not going to cause any distractions. I watched as Damien walked down to the pool and stopped. Then he looked up to the moon which was now etched in all its glory in the sky. "It is I, Future Alpha Damien of Dark Wood. I am but your humble servant and I have come to you in a desperate time of need. Please, save my sister. . ." He begged and placed her into the water. I moved closer to the edge as I stared down at Hecate, waiting to see any changes but nothing was happening.

He stared at me, his gray eyes now sharp and alert, scanning me from head to toe. “What…” I breathed, feeling dizzy. The scent of the room changed. I could smell the flowers, the wine, the people… but over it all, a new scent. Clean, cold, like the ocean and pine trees after a snowfall. It was coming from him. It was everywhere. And I wanted to breathe it in forever. “Ethan? Are you okay?” Alessia’s voice sounded far away. “I…” My skin felt too tight. My head swam. “I’m… I need some air.”

One of the elders leaned forward. “Report says Elise has passed the fourth threshold. The Hollow is responding.” Dareth, the youngest elder, rubbed his temple. “And if she makes it to the heart?” “Then we end it,” Saelin said flatly. He turned, unrolling a scroll inked in dark red. “Aetheric Containment Order,” he read. “To be enacted immediately upon her return. Bind her. Mute her. Sedate her if needed.” “You’re turning her into a weapon,” Dareth muttered.

Power rolled off him naturally, suffocating the entire room. My eyes widened in fear as I sight the mark close to his brows and recognition hitted me instantly. Alpha Xander Marco. His sharp gaze stayed locked on mine, unreadable and intense. Then his nostrils flared slightly. Like he smelled me too, his wolf recognized me. My heart nearly jumped out of my chest. Oh Moon Goddess. What sort of cruel twist is this, The devil I never thought to cross path with here in the human city, the one I'm carrying his child. And now he is my second chance mate?

ALPHUS' POV I was scouting the borders of the Cerulean Moon Pack when I smelt her, my mate. I followed her unique scent to the side of the road. I saw her jump into a silver Mercedes. She was with one of them, a wolf from the Cerulean Moon Pack. Like a beanstalk, my anger grew wild and rapidly. My entire body tensed when I saw her stripping off his clothes and then riding his cock like a jockey.

“Don’t worry. They use them all the time in the capital, spies, actors, nobles who want to travel unnoticed. Here, try this.” She handed me a face. It was so realistic, I gasped. Smooth, soft like skin, the shade a little lighter than mine but close enough to pass. The eyes matched my natural color. “It’s like a real face,” I murmured, turning it over in my hands. “Exactly,” she said. “Now, let’s find some scents.” She guided me to a fragrance shop where she tested bottle after bottle, sniffing until she found the perfect ones. Earthy tones with a hint of wildflowers and spice. “This one’s going to drive a Lycan insane in a good way.”

Damien tosses them aside as he takes off after Xavier. Xavier's beautiful light brown body was littered with claw marks. The Alpha looked back over his shoulder terrified as his little mate chased him with something shiny in his hand. Xavier stopped on the other side of the fire pit, his legs open, ready to dart in either direction. Damien slid to a stop while holding a scalpel. The Alpha still isn't sure where in the hell it came from.

That shit smells awful. “He’s being poisoned. He has a connection to the ether that you lack. You can control it as far as travel and manipulate it. He is the ether”. The other black dragon says as he comes to stand beside me. “Names Anthony by the way. How’s it shaking?” he ask with a smirk as he holds out his hand. “So, if something were sent through the ether, with no clear destination in mind, it would poison the ether?” I ask aloud as I meet his gaze.

"You've had too much to drink, Tristan. Just go inside and rest for a while." "Who said we broke up? We were just having a fight!" Tristan refused to admit that we had broken up. Pointing at Leon, he shouted, "You, tell everyone. What's your relationship with Esther?" Leon turned to the crowd. "I'm Leon Russell, Esther's fiancé. Nice to meet you all." One of the classmates beside Mason quietly tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Who is he? His name sounds kind of familiar." "Yeah, I think I've heard of him too," someone else chimed in.

“Very good then. You see, we are on the same page here. You want Alpha Xavier, and I want my mate. If you help me get Xavier out of Athena's life, I’ll have what I want, and you will have what you want. Do we have a deal?” “But how are we going to even do it? As far as I’ve heard, Xavier is not going to hear a word against Athena. He already loves her too much. So it's very hard to start up a misunderstanding between the two of them. If it had been so easy, then you'd already have Athena in your arms by now. Afterall, you got great help from the Scarlet, didn't you?” I scowled at her statement. How does she know anything about Scarlet?
