Ascend Astarion Novels & Stories

An obsidian stone is inside my seal, and the guards fall over themselves to let us inside once they know who I am. The wall is ridiculously tall, made of thick, reinforced steel. I crane my neck back, move my hair back to see it all. The portly guard pulls a lever, and a portion of it lowers. Clunky and groaning, the ice flys out, the gate forcing its way open. The gate lowers completely, warm water slowly trickles out, and the inside of Estate Eclipse is steaming. I grab onto Dante and he helps me past the blocks of ice until we cross the other side of the gate.

He is the oldest Alpha out there. He doesn't say another word, until we left the bustle of the city, the skyscrapers thinning, although we still remained in quite a busy looking neighbourhood. I follow Jasper's cue as he points to the right of him. "That, is Alpha Asher's estate. The Alpha of Desire." Instantly, my mouth fell open. Never in my life have I seen anything so brilliant, so lavish. It was lit spectacularly, in a multitude of different colours. It dripped wealth and superiority over the rest of the city, placed upon a pedestal that demanded attention.

At that, a call from an unknown number enters my mobile. -Tell me? -Lailah?- says a familiar voice on the other line. In the background, I can hear glass breaking.- I'm Scott. I need you to come to my apartment now. He seems alarmed. -What? Why? Scott? -It's Azael. -He says worriedly. An object falling to the ground and an incoherent babbling can be heard behind his voice.- He has arrived drunk and has started breaking things and it is not that I have enough money to renew furniture, also he has already damaged my car and that already are many expenses.

"Well I have to take her home. That's why I'm here in the first place. To bring her back to her Homeland" Wait a minute...... "You don't mean right this instant do you?" I asked "surely you can give me a few days to process all these and prepare myself" "I'm afraid not honey. The fact that you are alive and I found you so easily means that others can find you too. You are a very rare being little Azura, and you have lots of enemies. J could sense the energy from your power from miles away. So you are too vulnerable right now". Aunt Anna explained.

My mother is a phoenix. I've seen the crest in the books I've read. The only people who hold that crest are royalty, but not just any royal. Maple is part of an ancient tribe called the Bird Tribe, or Celestians, and they live on a floating island in the sky called Altera that can be seen every one hundred years. Celestians or they go for another name, angels - are the only ones with light magic that can purify dark magic. I can not believe my mother is part of a Bird Tribe, not only that she's a princess.

Gently. His other hand snakes around my hip to my lower back as he pulls me into him, my body against his. “My father’s mate has been in hiding for decades…it would seem she is at the Dark Phantom pack.” “She is?” “You didn’t know?” “No, I don’t even know who it would be.” “Her name is Astraia…” “Astraia is Alpha Miso’s mate? But she’s the…” “Yes?” “She’s the Auntie of Kaia.” “Yes.”

"Give it up father. You must know by now that I know about the book and what it can do. With Aaliyah by my side, and with the power of the book, I will be unstoppable. " "So Aaliyah has disposed of me." He asked and took a sip of the wine he had placed in front of him. "It seems she and I are alike. We loathe weakness and cannot be associated with anyone who is weak. Announce me as the Alpha before the next full moon. I'll take the lead and Evelyn will have her Luna ceremony immediately." "You be careful son. Aaliyah might have her own agenda. It'd be such a pity if she uses you for her own benefit and left you standing alone."

Aurora said. "Then take her with you. Hunter would keep doubting her if she stayed here," Agatha said. "I can't go with Aurora. Alonso's target is Draken since Draken abandoned his side so he must be keeping an eye on North pack. Then he'll find out I'm there. For now, I know Hunter killed all of Alonso's men who were with me, which means Alonso is not aware of my whereabouts. I'm the safest at the moon pack right now if I stay hidden," Silvia whispered as Agatha and Aurora stared at each other worried.

“We’ll be here, in Crescent Falls.” “And Emberfyll is… where?” Alex asks. “Somewhere… over here, I believe.” He drags a finger south from Tarsian and sharply east. I follow it, my chest tightening as I look up at him. We’re on the Artemis right now, tucked away in Alex and Monica’s private quarters. Behind us, the Asteria, the Atropos, and two other grand ships bob in the water. Beyond them, an entire fleet of ships of varying sizes follows our progress away from Tempest Valley and into the open, toward the veil.

They moved slowly, scanning floor seams and overhead girders. “Signal should be within ten meters,” Dorian said, consulting the reader strapped to his forearm. Isolde circled wide, sweeping beneath a collapsed stairwell. Her boot knocked something solid half-buried in crystallized salt. She crouched. Brushed away the frost. A flare casing. Old. But modified. Stamped with a jagged insignia: Astra’s personal code, flanked by two red notches. Not launchable. Not military. This wasn’t meant for combat.
