Citlali X Aether Novels & Stories

Words lodged in my throat, and I'm not quite sure if telling him was the right thing to do at this point. "Ava?" Dad's voice came with a warning, making me snap my eyes at him in shock. His brows furrow slightly at my reaction, and I'm trying not to space out as I weigh the consequences of him knowing the truth: that Hunter is, unfortunately, the mate Goddess destined for me. I cringe at the thought. Who in the right mind would honestly think it's okay to pair up omega and alpha blood together? I mean, it's simply insane! Goddess knows better than anyone that it would bring unspeakable disasters to the pack.

The blonde, Sarah, starts before the dark haired girl, Mariah, nudges her and she immediately shuts up. "Took over?" Rei latches on to the blonde slip up. "Indeed, perhaps this Calista took on the Alpha's role fully for her father. No wonder she's causing difficulties already, she must think I'm taking her position." I reply to Rei, watching as the group in front of me shift nervously, clearly mindlinking one another. Something I won't be able to do until the new Alpha ceremony during the next full moon.

“Here.” Leda stunned and stared up at her sister, who had been watching her silently. She took the little packet and unrolled it with trembling fingers. Four mismatched tablets of different colors and sizes rolled onto her palm. “You’ll need an additional dose,” Cythia mumbled, voice deceptively casual. “The last thing you want is to slip your scent around a bunch of Alphas.” “Will this be enough?” “Fuck an Alpha and I guess you’ll see,” Cythia snapped, the anger betraying

I can see you're here with someone," She gave a sly smile and shifted her gaze back to Martin. "Let me guess, one of your mistresses? I thought you turned a new leaf," She scoffed. A frown appeared on Caitlyn's face. 'Who the hell does she think she is to talk to me like I'm nothing?" Caitlyn opened her mouth to speak, but Martin beat her to it. "Well, Veronica," He started, slipped his hand around Caitlyn's waist, and pulled her close, startling her in the process. "This woman here is my fiance, not one of my mistresses. I dropped that attitude in the past I wish to never return to."

A crack, thousands of miles long, appeared across the Atlantic Ocean, glowing with a terrifying, molten-blue light. "The Aether was the distraction," Elias laughed as he dissolved into light. "The real game... is the Core." Elena looked down at the crumbling world. She had saved the sky, but she had just awakened the Earth.

Aetherion stepped forward, his violet eyes wide with something between awe and concern. “You’ve surpassed every prediction,” he murmured. “Even I didn’t anticipate this speed of control.” “Then help us,” I said sharply. “We don’t have time for lectures.” He nodded, lifting his hands. Dark energy rippled around him, but this time, it wasn’t hostile. He formed a barrier around the fissure, holding back the black tide rising from below. The Creator hissed, slamming one massive shadow hand into Aetherion’s barrier. “Your allies cannot save her. She belongs to me!”

“It looks like Dada’s magic! Can I make the sky glow like that when I’m bigger?” Caelan knelt beside his son, one arm wrapped gently around the boy’s shoulders. His own presence radiated calm resilience, the ancient power within him now a steady, nurturing force that occasionally sent gentle moonlight threads drifting toward Aether to steady his balance or soothe any overstimulation from the loud festival. The mating bite on his neck remained proudly visible, a symbol of the bond that had reshaped their world.

"The Bridge is open. We can feel the mountain. We can feel... each other." The Vigil That night, the Citadel was a sea of campfires. Enemies sat with enemies, sharing mead and stories of the "Vision" they had shared. The Aether-Wild hadn't vanished; it had settled into a quiet, harmonious state, the bioluminescence acting as a natural lantern for the unified packs. Ariyah sat by Aeron’s bed in the Royal Suite. Kael was beside her, his withered arm resting on the furs. "He's going to wake up to a different world," Ariyah whispered, stroking Aeron’s silver hair.
