Astarion X Tav Novels & Stories

He wraps an arm around my shoulders, and pulls Esme into him with the other. The bond the three of us share is something I can’t describe. It’s more than Luna and Beta, Niece and Aunt, Fated mates. We are family, the last of the celestials. Averson has made himself scarce, but the blood that flows through his veins is just as rare and powerful as ours. Come to think of it, I have no idea what his Celestial powers are or if he even has any, and he should have an Alpha gift too. Honestly, he seems to be flying under everyone’s radar, and that needs to be addressed. He is harmless, I think, but I can’t trust him.

"Fucking knew it. Xavier is just a random person. Always looking unprepared but shocking everyone at the right time," They all laughed but I didn't share in it because I didn't even understand what was going on. They all seemed to be friends. "Pardon my manners, beautiful lady," Lawrence said and stretched out his hands. I took it and he shook it firmly. "My name is Lawrence, Alpha of Eaglestalon. How about you?" "Iris," I began. "Xavier's beta and the finest warrior in Silver moon," Felix said. Lawrence shot a brow up at Xavier. "You didn't tell me,"

I whimpered, and he stared at me like a real mad woman in the trashcan, "Xavier is more powerful than Xander. He is Xander's father and has numerous guards and dark magic. He sits on his throne in the Red Moon Pack's Royal Chamber and rarely comes out unless he is about to go to war. How on earth do you think of killing him in your entire life!!!" Hutton growled, gritting his teeth in fury. I bowed my head to the ground, reminiscing about his words. He was right: how would I ever kill Xavier? I won't gain access to him freely without losing my life!!!

He looked at me expectantly as he stepped forward a bit causing Davina and Andrè to take a stance. This caused him to smile and he had the cutest grin on his face. This was the Fergil? He looked so harmless and beautiful. “Ava! I’ve waited for you!” Even his voice was delicate and he walked towards me but Andrè blocked him. “You will not touch the Luna.” He said cautiously and Fergil folded his hands childishly. “And you won’t also touch someone of such respect and power!” He shouted back causing all of us to look at him confused.

“The Moon Cages weren’t built by Vales. They were built by the first covenants—ashbound covenants—after an ashbound girl ended a war by burning the wrong king.” My skin went cold. “That’s a story.” Vesper smiled. “No, Aria. That’s a warning with a date.” She lifted her hand and touched the air near my wrist. She didn’t touch me, but the mark flared anyway, responding. I winced. “Hybrid,” Vesper said softly, as if tasting the word. “Wolf and ashbound. Not Luna. Not Lycan royalty. Something older.” Kieran’s voice went rough. “She’s my mate.”

But Alpha Ravick of Silvermoon, power-hungry in the past enough to maltreat his pregnant mother, went on a power trip and waged a war he was already set to lose. Causing him to fail in the one thing his mother finally asked of him, which was saving Mike Hawthorne and his family. He nodded once and the head maid disappeared, leaving them alone again with tension thick enough to choke on. "Did you hear what he said?" Maeve stopped pacing and planted herself directly in front of him, hands on her hips. "This is insane." "I heard him, Maeve." "You can't be serious about this," she said for what had to be the tenth time. "Punishing her however you want is one thing, but making her Luna? That's di

His voice darkened, “You’re wrong.” Arthur’s jaw clenched. “Since when do you care about him?” “Since you stopped,” Xavier shot back. Then, quieter, more pointedly, “And don’t forget your promise.” That made Father pause. His eyes flicked to me—shaking in Xavier’s bed, drenched in Xavier’s scent, bruises blooming like roses on my pale skin. Then back to Xavier, the stepbrother he had forged into a weapon and now barely controlled. Disgust twisted his lips. “Fine,” he spat. “Keep your sick little toy. I have servants stronger than him.”

Her words seemed to draw Xavier out of the trance he had been in since the timer went off and his face hardened as he took a deliberate step away from me. "You can never be my mate. You are nobody." My heart broke but that was only the beginning, my mate wasn't done tormenting me just yet. "I, Xavier Blackwood, future heir of the Moonshadow Pack, reject you Astrid Nightshade as my mate."

I swallow, typing quickly, my thumbs clumsy. Me: We’re on our way to his penthouse. Not coming home tonight. The reply is instant. Talia: OH MY GOD!!! Then how are you able to reply to my text right now? Gurl, you better go make that man crazy for you. I'm getting the deets tomorrow. Heat floods my cheeks, and I bite my lip, my thumb hovering over the keyboard as I think of a reply. But then, Xavier’s hand slides higher on my thigh, his fingers pressing in just enough to make my breath hitch.

Orion approached him, offering a hand, which he took, clasping his forearm in silent gratitude. As Caspian turned to leave, he threw Rey a small, teasing smirk. "Give him hell, little flame. Trust me, he deserves it." Her lips curved in a faint smile as she watched him walk away. It was the first time she'd met the Alpha of the South, who seemed laid back compared to Aleksandr and Orion, but she wasn't fooled; she knew under that playful exterior laid a ruthless monster, she saw it in his eyes and if there was one thing she'd learned, it was that the eyes never lies.
