She quietly slipped into the auction room and found a seat in the corner of the last row. As she looked up, her eyes locked onto a large rough gemstone being displayed under glass—an uncut stone weighing around ten kilograms. Its raw surface shimmered under the lights, with a tight matrix of minerals and a faint, electric-blue hue peeking through the crevices. At first glance, it looked incredibly promising. The surface was clean, compact, and the glow suggested it could be a specimen of rare Paraíba tourmaline—perhaps even gem-quality with high copper content. The kind collectors drooled over. The kind that could fetch millions.

It could be said that it was priceless. Larissa could see it because she had X-ray vision. If Grisel was the real Athena, she should be able to see it too. After all, Larissa's X-ray vision was inherited from Athena. Someone among the crowd sneered in disdain. "Hahaha! This gemstone can be sold for 100 dollars per pound in the wholesale market!" "This is the cheapest sapphire. To name it a sapphire is exaggerating. It's only a bit better than a stone!"

Inside a black velvet box was a unique ring, gleaming with a red gemstone as precious as any treasure and circled by 520 tiny diamonds glittering in the light. Each diamond was meticulously chosen to ensure a perfect fit within the setting. This red gem stood alone in its splendor, unmatched anywhere else in the world. Its worth was astronomical—over $3 billion in Venturian currency.

So familiar, but exotic in a way I couldn't even begin to explain. I just stood, staring out the door like an absolute idiot, taking in the God at my doorstep. I couldn't take my eyes off his own. A deep-set swirling violet tinted with the darkest ebony black was confined to the irises of his eyes. It almost trapped me, like hands made from the illusory magic that seemed to pull me in.

Aiden POV I called Isaiah back, and he hit me with a bombshell. “Aiden, we have a cave of gems here. You won’t believe what kind either.” “Cool it with the suspense and just tell me. Is it diamonds?” “No. Purple Atlantonite.” I sat up quickly, “Are you fucking with me right now, man?” “Hell no. Check the incoming picture,” he said, and my phone buzzed. I opened the picture, and sure enough, it’s Purple Atlantonite.

But he found, as with everything else, if you had enough money, nothing was impossible. He’d chosen bronze because he loved the contrast of the golden metal against Josie’s fair skin and it matched well with the golden streaks in her hair. But the stones, he’d been adamant that they match her eyes. Aquamarines, rarely found on the market, were embedded in the metal, creating a dazzling jeweled choker that would look stunning against her skin and provide a perfect accompaniment to her gorgeous eyes.

The crystal is a mesmerizing fusion of vibrant colors, as if a rainbow has been captured and crystallized. Its surface was smooth and flawless, reflecting light in a way that created an ever-changing display of hues. At its core, the crystal emanates a soft glow, like a celestial light source. The glow seemed to shine from within with an otherworldly energy. Dark shades of blue that reminded of the ocean depths blended seamlessly with the vibrant greens, reminiscent of a lush forest. Hints of red and orange like that of a setting sun danced around hues of soft pinks and deep purples. All the while golden streaks danced and twirled inside it. All this to say the thing was fucking beautiful, k

“I raised you to be a man.” I grabbed Austin’s hand. “I want to go home, my love. Please.” “Anything for you, darlin’.” *** Julian POV Purple Atlantonite. What an interesting stone. I searched far and wide for a sample and finally found a country overseas with a small piece. I paid almost a thousand dollars for it, but I need to know if what I read is true. If it is, how do I use it? “Is there an update on Sinclair?” “Yes, she returned to Blackstone today. There was no other activity after that, though.”

It was surrounded by a halo of tiny black onyx stones. “It’s… beautiful,” I breathed, my voice barely audible. Antonio smiled, clearly pleased with my reaction. “It’s one-of-a-kind,” he said proudly. “The sapphire is from Ceylon — known for its clarity. The setting is platinum, designed to last a lifetime.” Talon’s hand flexed ever so slightly on my back, and I could feel his eyes on me. “Try it on,” he said quietly, his voice low and rough.

Everly’s POV The Goddess was right. I needed Avril to be here. She and I were connected in some way. We were both given a curse just so the Pantheon could give us some of their power. I had thought I was the only one. But my wolf’s sister was here in the flesh. My wolf was spinning around. “We are gemstone wolves.” I explain to Avril. “The Goddess choses to give us gifts, but every gift must come with a price. For you, you can see visions, but you’re blind.”
