Heather X Astrid Novels & Stories

“Tell Damien to keep decoding. Every record, every fund, every hidden ledger. When we’re done, the truth won’t just defend us—it’ll define us.” Athens - Temporary Clinic A single bandage crossed Adrian’s temple; monitors hissed faintly above him. He lay half‑awake, listening to the muted rhythm of rain and machines. Hale sat nearby, still running surface scans from a small terminal. “You bought them time,” Hale murmured. “Doesn’t look like Charlotte expected you to survive it.” “She never does,” Adrian said, voice low, steady. “But she’ll change tactics now, she always does when the ghosts start screaming.”

The door creaked lightly as I leaned in. My breath stopped. Astrid was on her bed, eyes shut, one hand beneath the waistband of her shorts, the other clutching her phone like she was staring at something. Her thighs tensed, rising slightly. Her bottom lip was between her teeth. “Rhett,” she whispered. Fuck. I stood there, nailed to the floor. My blood ran cold. She didn't see me. She didn't know I was there. She arched slightly, her breath hitching as she pressed deeper. Her back curved, her body trembling softly. Her hair spilled around her face, the tank top she wore riding up just enough to tease the swell of her breasts.

Now she stayed close without even thinking about it, as if it were the most natural place in the world to be. --- Across the room, Astrid drifted toward a window overlooking the quiet streets below. The Hearth Quarter spread out beneath them, peaceful and untouched. "It almost doesn't seem real," she murmured. Finn came to stand beside her, his shoulder resting lightly against the stone wall. "What doesn't?" "Everything." She gazed out over the rooftops. "We've spent years hearing stories about monsters, curses, forgotten kingdoms." Her voice softened. "But nobody ever told us about this."

"Helena, the mess was already here. Long before Ravena left. This family has been falling apart for years. And blaming her for it is just convenient." "How dare you," Helena hissed. Before I could respond, the door suddenly swung open. We both turned to see Astrid standing in the doorway. She looked exhausted, with her hair pulled back in a simple braid and wearing plain clothes that she usually wore after a long day of work. But despite the tiredness in her face, she held her head high and her shoulders back. "What is going on here?" Astrid asked, her voice calm but stern. Helena's expression twisted. "Oh, look who finally decided to show up. The new Luna. How kind of you to grace us with y

"That's good. It's not easy raising a pup alone. I always thought you were a single mother." I smiled faintly. I wasn't before, but soon I would be one. "Megan Cross, you're the most skilled healer we have. Without you, the common folk won't have anyone to treat them. They can't afford the fees of the nobles' healers." Emily glanced at the patients lying nearby and sighed. I gave a helpless smile and turned to leave the healer's tent—only to run straight into Alpha King Jason Boone of the Northern Realm and Princess Bailey Shaw of the Silvermoon Pack. They were both visiting injured warriors.

Her hair is silvered, eyes sharp, hands already glowing faintly with healing magic. “What—?” She freezes when she sees me. “Is that—” “A zareth,” Astrid snaps. “No time! Sienna has been bitten and she is dying!” The healer’s face goes ghost-pale before she shouts, “Bring her in. Quickly!” I don’t wait to be told twice. I follow the healer down the hall, into a room that smells like herbs and smoke. She gestures to a bed. “Lay her down.” “NO,” I snarl, tightening my grip.

I resisted the urge to tap the microphone as I stood in front of it. “Thank you for joining us to celebrate this week,” I said clearly. “For those of you who don’t know, I’m Astrid Fleisher and I’m the daughter of the Alpha of Bridgewater.” The crowd gradually paused their activities and turned to look at me. “We’re grateful to all of you for joining us. The sun is starting to set, which means that the time for the shift is nearly upon us. Our Alpha and Beta will lead you into the wild where we can pay our respects to the goddess. Before that, our high priestess would like to come up and do a blessing.”

A throbbing vein was clearly visible at the middle of her forehead “I should have killed you the very day you stepped your feet into this place, stupid girl, she scoffed. The workers at the hospital must have gone into hiding considering Heather was armed, because everywhere had suddenly gone quiet. The maliciousness in Heather’s eyes was not new to me, only that they had grown more intense. She looked older than I remembered, even more bitter. “I don’t know how you pulled that off with the moon goddess, but we both know you are not Draven’s mate. You never were,” She sighed “It’s either you somehow miraculously turned out to be his mate after Zayden died, or those bunch of oracles are all f

Heather must be the person who orchestrated this. She wanted Christina to leave Michael and move her family out of Jade City. That explained why she reacted overly agitated at Christina’s arrival — it was to provoke her further. If anything bad shall happen to Travis, then she would make sure Heather the old witch would pay for it! Travis woke up for a short while before passing out again which put Christina on the edge of her seat. Serena called the next morning. “Sister, I’d like to meet you.”

Although my mother is the Luna and does not normally attend births of the pack she was by Melissa’s side when Heather was born, just four days before I was. Heather is one of the packs beauties. She is very tall with long legs and shimmering blond hair. The Mood Goddess blessed her with high cheek bones, and a voluptuous hourglass figure. When Heather walks into a room all the men stare at her beauty. Unfortunately, her beauty is only skin deep. Heather has broken my nose on multiple occasions and has spread rumors throughout the pack that I am a slut. She blames me for her not being the next Luna. According to Heather my brother was probably her destined mate.
