The fabric pooled at her feet, leaving her in nothing but black lace and the phoenix tattoo on her wrist that marked her rebirth. Rafael's intake of breath was audible. "Jesus, Natalie. You're..." "What?" "Perfect." He traced the tattoo with one finger, his touch feather-light. "This is beautiful. What does it mean?" The question hit her like a physical blow. The phoenix was everything—her death, her rebirth, her transformation from victim to avenger. It was the symbol of rising from ashes, of becoming something stronger and more dangerous than what came before. But she couldn't tell him that. So she gave him a version of the truth instead.

He asked, looking up at me, his brow arching. "Yeah, I can feel it, but Cedric did say it would respond to the royal bloodline. Maybe it isn't specific to the which bloodline." I explained, turning my attention back to my mate. Alora traced the images that had been carved into the wood, her brows pinching together. "From fire and ashes, a Phoenix shall rise," Alora whispered. "You can read that?" I asked, tilting my head as I watched her. She looked up at me through her lashes.

she says. “Why are you here? A phoenix is a mythological creature, one that resurrects over and over again. In history, the phoenix is linked to birth and death, creation and destruction. If you’re here, it means that something bad is coming, right? And based on what happened today, that bad thing is related to Ancalagon’s and Eliane’s eggs?” Tesha asks. Phoenix smiles at her. “I can see why Ajax thinks so highly of you.” I’d felt it earlier, or sort of seen it really. It was like an aura that he had when he talked to Tesha. He respects her.

Present “That day, I decided to raise you like Jasmine's mom raised me. I thought I became this rebellious because she never loved me like she loved Jasmine. I grew up in an environment that made me live a better life for myself. I became selfish because of that woman. So I raised you making you feel like you're the only one on whom you can rely. But no matter how hard I tried, you never complained. I wanted to raise you to be selfish and strong, but you...”

But it’s like they were always there. Just waiting.” Phoenix nodded slowly. “Mine feels… huge. Like he’s too big for me. But in a good way. He’s fire. All fire.” Lucian’s voice was quiet. “Mine is calm. Cold flame. But not weak. Just… patient. Watching.”

“Lily, do you have any wishes for the new year?” Perhaps my expression stood out too much in the middle of all the celebration. Daniel suddenly called my name. “I want a raise,” I said. My voice wasn’t loud, but everyone heard it. The room suddenly fell silent. People slowly turned to look at me. The smile on Daniel’s face disappeared. “What did you say?” He walked down from the stage. He tossed the microphone aside, and it let out a sharp screech. “Say it again.” He stopped in front of me.

Nyra’s POV ‘Why do I feel like there were a whole lot of things that had happened and…’ “You have questions,” Serenyx’s voice echoed calmly in my mind, “and you will have your answers. But first… let’s give Silas a taste of what’s coming.” Her words boosted my morale. ‘How?’ I asked. She chuckled softly, “You’re stronger than you think, Nyra. A phoenix doesn’t need to be taught how to burn”

The deep, rhythmic wails tore through the night sky. They knew she was gone. Aria didn't waste a breath. She let her human skin tear away as the shift took her. Bones lengthened and reshaped in a brutal, fluid second. A sleek, silver wolf rose from the mud.

The next couple of sentences set Bree of to a hyperventilating predicament, and her hands shook so badly the book fell on the ground. “The phoenix attempting the halo expansion during rebirth must be aware of the inner fire spent. The time and size of the expansion are determinant to the consequent time to rebirth. The longer the phoenix uses the power, the grander the time to rise. Caution: If the phoenix extinguishes all inner fire, it won’t be able to rise from the ashes. This technique can be lethal. Use at your own discretion.”
