Kaeya X Aether Novels & Stories

The air whistled past her, the grass bending under her advance. Kael dodged with effortless grace, his body twisting as he countered with a sweep of his leg, aiming to unbalance her. "Deal," he growled, his voice dropping an octave, intimate despite the spar. "But don't hold back, Alya. I want to feel the fire." Their hands met in a clash, skin brushing skin, and that's when the mind-link flared—a sudden, electric connection that flooded their thoughts. Alya felt a rush of Kael's emotions: admiration, desire, a flicker of vulnerability from his past. In return, he glimpsed her resolve, her loneliness as new alpha, and a spark of longing that mirrored his own.

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Six Kaida’s POV “Kaida?” a voice called softly. I lifted my hand and pointed into the darkness. A line of black smoke formed shapes that should not have existed. I saw wolves with too many limbs, maidens with hollow faces, a tall hooded figure whose eyes glowed even in the dark, men with unusual claws, and children whose heads were unusually big. I saw all of them. “Kaida!” I felt a hand on my body and it caused me to bat my eyelashes. I stopped looking right in front of me and realized the voice I had been hearing belonged to Alpha Kellan.

* *Kairen's eyes burned. *"You know about her," he whispered. "About Luna."* *"I have Seen her," Aethros confirmed. "In visions from the Moon. A child born of divine and demonic blood. Powerful beyond measure. Terrifying and magnificent. She will reshape the world, Kairen. Will force both our kinds to finally see the truth."* *"What truth?"

COMPLETED | Full Story Available Lyra Darkfur has always believed the fated mate bond is a blessing, until it becomes her curse. On the night of the Blood Moon, she discovers her mate is Kael Stormrunner, the ruthless Alpha of the most feared pack. Instead of claiming her, he publicly rejects her, driven by a prophecy from the Moon Goddess that names Lyra as the cause of his pack’s destruction. But rejection doesn’t break their bond. It awakens something far more dangerous. Cast among rogues, Lyra uncovers a rare power tied to the Moon Goddess herself and is forced to fight, survive, and rise beyond the weak omega she was raised to be.

A wicked laugh follows her declaration. A deep growl rumbles from Kaelan’s throat as he listens. His eyes glow even brighter, and acidic saliva begins to drip from his mouth. His aura expands, and he assumes an attack stance. He lunges at her once more, but Eisheth manages to open the locket. As she scatters a small amount of celestial breath around her, she confuses the beast—but not before a significant portion of Kaelan’s saliva burns through her forearm, down to the bone.

I headed to take a shower while trying to remember anything about her, anything to locate her. As I closed my eyes under the water, my wolf Leo connected with me, saying, 'Mate!' I wasn’t very surprised; my happiness with her and that bond meant she was definitely my mate. But what now? Had I found my mate after years of searching, only to have her disappear in the morning? I, Alpha Dragon, needed my mate with me, even if she wasn’t Luna! I called Leo, asking, 'Who is our mate, Leo?' 'I don’t know her name, but I can smell her wolf, Aurora, and find her!' Leo answered.

The creature let out a final, guttural roar before retreating into the darkness, its glowing eyes fading from view.

“We need Thalassa contact and build a bridge between the Aether City and Atlantis.

"I have to. I am the Aether. I need to feel it." "Then don’t be the Aether!" I snapped. "Just be Maerwynn!" I said, a tear rolling down my cheek.
