Helleborus Onyx Odyssey Novels & Stories

Jace said his voice was short and snappy. Nora sighed, opening the bag and then grabbing the box. She paused a minute trying to find a way out of opening it. Jace made another noise as she was just staring at the black box. She sighed and opened the box. Inside the box layed a small black onyx necklace. It was a simple square onyx stone that hung on a silver chain and was very beautiful. “What? I can't take this. Why would you- “Black onyx can disguise hunters from wolves. Put it on.” Jace ordered as he cut her off.

She walks through the flowers, letting the cool air brush against her face. The sight before her was breathtaking, there were over a thousand flowers, mostly orchids covered in glowing lights across the entire oasis but something about it didn't feel right. She takes a good look at the white and purple orchids again. "These flowers aren't supposed to bloom for another 18 years after my trial. Yet here they are, fully open and more beautiful than ever. Helixia's smile slowly fades away, confusion crossing her face. She tries to reach down to touch one of the orchids, but stops as the deep, loud ticking of time itself sounds across the entire Oasis.

I look up, and my stomach drops. His icy blue eyes are now blood red. His pheromones flood my senses, pressing down on my chest until I'm struggling to get air into my lungs. Shit! This shouldn't be happening. I have never responded to an Alpha like this. So what the hell is going on? My legs feel weak. I open my mouth, trying to pull in air, and regret it immediately. “You smell even better… a recessive Omega?” he murmurs, his voice rough, almost disbelieving. “I don't know who the fuck you are… but you smell like warm honey melting over ripe peach—soft, sweet… and it’s driving me insane.”

But I pushed forward, knowing we had no choice. “Do you see anything?” I asked, my voice low as if speaking any louder would disturb whatever ancient forces lingered here. “No,” Xavier replied, his hand brushing against mine as we moved. “But we’re close. I can feel it.” Suddenly, a faint glow appeared ahead of us. It was soft at first, barely noticeable, but as we drew nearer, the source became clear. In the center of a small cavern, illuminated by the faintest glimmer of light from the cave’s icy walls, stood a single flower—a Nightshade Blossom. Its petals were black as midnight, and they seemed to shimmer with a faint, otherworldly glow.

Her heart pounded. Ronan stumbled from the surf onto sand that steamed under fractured light. His body trembled with exhaustion, but the air here vibrated with energy so potent it steadied him. Ahead rose the ancient forest, its branches glowing faintly in the moonlight. Beyond it shimmered a plain of crystal dust, jagged spires reflecting a broken silver sky. Three landscapes overlapped, colliding in impossible harmony. The Nexus. The place itself was alive.

All too happy to break the eye-connection. She could feel his heat behind her with every step, a constant reminder of his potent presence. They strolled leisurely along a winding stone path, the garden unfolding before them like a vibrant tableau of color. Tall, ivy-clad walls enclosed the space, creating an intimate haven that seemed to shut out the outside world. The garden was carefully arranged, with symmetrical beds overflowing with medicinal herbs, fragrant flowers, and useful plants like lavender, chamomile, and rosemary. Emeriel pointed to a bed of vibrant blue blossoms. "These are borage flowers, Your Grace. Not only are they beautiful, but they are also known to uplift the spirit.

He tightened his grip on my hand and I nodded as we both stepped out of our suite in our matching red rope which sparkled as we walked through the hallway and our maids walked behind us. "Announce the Alpha and Luna's arrival," Hayden's Beta told the announcer. "All hail the Alpha Hayden and his Luna Frost," He screamed and a horn was blown as the door to the festival hall was opened for us as we walked in. "All hail the Alpha and Luna," Everyone in the hall echoed as we walked into the hall. The hall was bright as a result of the majestic candelabras, adorned with crimson candles placed on each table in the hall. The golden light of chandeliers hung on the roof beautifying the hall more as

I looked at Coral, " was that......a compliment?" She laughed, " From Darrell.....oh yes. Mark the day– you've just been knighted." Coral poured herself another cup of tea, then glanced at the list again before setting it aside. "What about flowers?" She asked. "Have you thought about what you'll use to decorate?" "Flowers? It's winter so...." She smiled. "There a few that bloom if you know where to look. Hellebores are hardy and elegant–white, plum and deep rose. Snowdrops are delicate but beautiful. And there's winter jasmine– bright little yellow things that look like hope."

“Why? You have no appointment. It’s busy here.” “Yeah?” she pouted a bit, thinking over it for a moment. “Eh, what about that guy? The guy who’s obsessed with playing computer games? Is he working here at the moment?” She had a bit of suspicion of that guy she was talking about, Oswald. He looked like he knew a lot about computers and technology whatever he does in his life. Or maybe Theo hired people from the outside? “They’re out of town, I’m the only one currently here.” Yohan was a bit of a cold person but Selene wasn’t fazed.

He wants to bring me to the source. My hands go around his neck for support and Helios holds me tightly to his chest. As Helios walks, I inhale his scent. He smells of cedarwood and dark musk mixed with a hint of fresh citrus, all of which form a masculine shade of divine beings. It is intoxicating and I breathe in deeply.
