Aphelion's Rest Lost Sector Novels & Stories

I was getting mated to one of the strongest and richest Alphas in the city. The mirror reflected a flawless future Luna. It was the most beautiful and expensive image of myself I had ever seen. But it all didn't matter. Behind those e yes were grief, fury, and loss. Is Alpha Fauz indeed my fated mate? Would finding out that he is indeed my fated mate bring me peace?

Jaxon pleaded, stepping back as the cold reached his knees, "he will burn everything, he doesn't care about the laws anymore." "Neither do I," I said. I raised my hand, and for the first time, I didn't wait for Kaelen’s light to reach me, I reached for the Sol Invictus, I felt the massive Solar batteries of the flagship, the concentrated essence of a thousand High Alphas and I squeezed. A mile away, the sky went black. A massive, funnel-like vacuum of shadow erupted from my palm, stretching across the valley and latching onto the lead ship, I watched as the golden glow of the fleet began to dim, the light being dragged toward me in shimmering, violent ribbons.

Killian leaned his hands flat against the ledge, his amber eyes glowing in the dim light of the monitors as he stared down at his brother. "Let him wait," Killian murmured, his deep voice a low rumble next to my ear. "The more anxious he gets, the more mistakes he will make when the lights go out." Behind us, Marcus’s voice crackled softly through the desktop radio console. "Alpha, the High Council's legal block is fully active on the outer perimeter. If Cassian tries to touch those vault doors before midnight, the system will flag it as a forced entry. You have exactly four minutes before the main harbor grid resets."

In that moment that seemed to defy explanation, they spoke in unison, their words echoing through the chamber with a resonance that left the council members stunned. "Mate," they declared, their voices a testament to the undeniable connection that existed between them. The revelation sent shockwaves through the room, the Alpha's expression a mixture of disbelief and resignation. As the truth of their bond hung heavy in the air, Shaun felt united with her, their destinies intertwined in ways they could only begin to comprehend.

Ragnar admired the social status rules and he had so much pride in himself for being born into a prestigious family. Bianca followed Ragnar and eventually, they entered the great hall. Unlike the rumors, the great hall was empty. When Ragnar announced Bianca’s presence at the top of his voice, Alpha Alex entered through a side door. Bianca fell to her knees in awe while Ragnar bowed his head. Alpha Alex didn’t go to his throne. Rather, he approached Bianca. “Raise your head,” Alpha Alex ordered. Bianca did as he commanded and he scanned her face with his ever-piercing eyes. Alpha Alex signaled with his eyes and Ragnar left the room, leaving Alpha Alex alone in the great hall with Bianca.

Next to them, a repair instructor worked with teens to disassemble a rogue voltage cell. Elira lounged beside her, hands around a mug of ginger water. Caelan pushed out from behind a utility board, covered in metallic ash. "We have enough reserve for two more sectors." She gazed up. "That's margin again." He smiled. "And after weeks of subsisting, margin becomes luxury." At times, success didn't manifest in new heights. At times, it was the expansive breath between the fall and the next firm step. --- 5:12 PM — Hillside Amphitheater, Sector C Edge

The air froze the moment I said I was severing our bond. Simon slammed on the brakes and whipped his head around, his eyes bloodshot. "Have you lost your mind? The mate bond is witnessed by the Moon Goddess. You think you can just break it because you feel like it?" I looked at the wolf in front of me, his emotions spiraling out of control, and kept my voice steady. "So you do remember the Moon Goddess." I let out a cold laugh, mockery filling my eyes.

The bond strikes. Kael shifted closer, brushing his shoulder against hers. “We are ready.” “We are,” she said, eyes fixed on the eastern horizon, where the Council would be plotting their next move. “And they will learn that every attack, every lie, every betrayal… will be met with unity, strength, and the power of the Moon.” The Moon emerged from the clouds, silver and full, illuminating the valley in soft light. No longer distant or commanding, it watched. And its witness carried a promise:

Images of my mother teaching me this very spell that I am using against her. I feel my feet leave the floor as the power floods through my body whilst Selene’s body erodes on the spot. The remainders of her clothes drop to the floor as I land on my feet, she was gone for good and was never going to hurt anyone again. My body shifted back to human form and once again I was naked. Atlas rushes forward pulling off his cloak and wrapping it around me “What the fuck was that?” I murmur in his ear as he ties the cloak around me
