Danmachi Astraea Novels & Stories

I stood behind her so that they would have a full view of her; after all, she was the Luna. “On behalf of the alpha, I want to specially welcome you all to our pack, Axelland,” Lyra said warmly, her voice carrying authority yet kindness. “Most of you know me as I have been with you for the past year. But for those who don’t know me, my name is Lyra. I am Damien’s mate, and this is Denise, his sister. He has been incredibly busy, but he extends his wishes and says he will come and see you when he has the time.”

Andes froze and looked at me blankly. I stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him. "How could I hate you? Andes, thank you." 'Thank you for clearing away the gloom and burying all my unbearable past for me,' I thought. Andes' eyes instantly lit up. He carefully reached out and pulled me into his arms. "Lydia, you're my destined mate. I will protect you for the rest of my life." Later, Grayrock Pack held a Luna ceremony, which was unprecedented in a century.

Tomorrow the Prophecy Child would die. Aria sat alone in her stone cell, the heavy chains still wrapped around her wrists. The runes etched into the metal glowed with a faint, persistent light, constantly draining her power. A single candle flickered on a narrow ledge near the wall, its small flame casting dancing shadows across the rough stone surfaces. For hours she watched it burn, her thoughts drifting far beyond the bars that held her. The flame was small and fragile, yet it refused to surrender to the darkness. It reminded her of someone. Of Ryan. The thought brought a sad, bittersweet smile to her lips, small but undeniably real in the dim light.

“Then help me use it.” Kiyomi’s face twisted as Astraya fought for control. “You would wear two crowns?” “No.” I held it toward her. “You would.” Kiyomi stared at me. Hayate stepped closer. “Ayame.” “It may separate Astraya from her.” “It may kill her.” Kiyomi took the crown. “Then we make sure it does not.” She placed it against her head. Azure light exploded. Astraya tore free. Her spirit rose above Kiyomi, tall and pale, the scar across her throat shining blue. The silver crown settled over her hair.

Eynas assisted his queen in her seat. Astra put her face to his face. She looked at him and smiled. "I'm fine" she mumbled and turned her redhead in front of her broods. "Let's welcome, the first heiress of the Erasmus Kingdom!" She growls. "And I declare war among dragons and humans! We will restore our dragon power, the Heart of Magic from them! Scream for me! Scream!" Astra made an extreme growl and all of them made a rumbling sound.

I was starting to wonder what had been truth and what hadn’t been truth. As the couple approached the top of the stairs, I welcomed them to the Golden Moon Pack. Alpha Samuel introduced his mate, Luna Jasmine. We all shook hands and invited them to enter the Pack house. Seeing Drake out the corner of my eye, he turns to head down to our spare office to wait for his chance to speak with the Alpha.

Aycxe called my attention causing us all to get serious. "Noella, update?" she asked, eyes focused on her scope. "All of the Black Dragons are entering," Noella answered. "Rose, set your time, two minutes from now," Aycxe ordered. "Real fvcking two minutes, Rose, not a freaking two seconds," she immediately added. I secretly chuckled and turned serious when she turned to look at me. Hoho. Never mess with her very, very, short patience. I did what she said. I set all my bombs to the time she gave me. I even put an earpiece in my ear and played happy music to enjoy what I was doing.

Not to mention the fact that if I understood my brother's note correctly, he may know something about, or even be an accomplice to, Axel's abuse. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Amaris," the Alpha says, grinning at me. Then, his eyes go to his son. At Kenton's nod, he turns to the people of his pack. I Look from the two men before me, then turn my attention to the men and women who are standing before the three of us, trepidation creeping in as I watch them lower their heads at the three of us as if I'm someone important to them along with the two men standing next to me. "Everyone, I would like to introduce to you Kenton's mate and the future Luna of our pack, Amaris Redding."

I was headed toward my pain and all I could do was wait? “Sarah, wake up.” Damian was gently shaking me. “What?” My eyes snapped open. Are we here? “Look at me.” Damian pulled my face to his. “I love you Sarah. Regardless of what happens, I love you. Make sure you come back to me. I NEED you to come back.” He kissed me hard. It almost brought tears to my eyes with how emotional he was feeling. He was hurting. “I promise. I will be back.” I said just as the car door opened, making the evening sun hit me. We got out of the car to see warriors with dark clouds behind their eyes. They were under Astra’s control. Just confirmed more of our suspicion what we already knew.

I should have told Kyros to turn on the air conditioning in my room. After taking a bath, I was about to go back to my room, but to my surprise, I bumped into Astraea, who looked like she had gotten back from someplace. "Ea? You're back?" Astraea blushed as she couldn't look me in the eye. I didn't ask her anything because I didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable. Dusty might have helped her with her problem if she did have one. "I'm sorry, I'll rest for now." I excused myself, and Ea didn't stop me either.
