His hand was resting on the amber Anchor, and for the first time in five years, the crystal was glowing—not amber, but a cold, predatory white. ​"The stars," Rowan whispered, his voice sounding far older than five. "Mommy, the stars are talking again." ​High above the Oregon sky, a single, brilliant point of light began to grow. It wasn't a meteor. It was a ship—sleek, silent, and carved from the same iridescent obsidian we had seen in Antarctica. ​The "Direct Intervention" had been a tragedy. The "Scorched Earth" had been a failure.

I dance with the moonlight under the stars, they sing me a lullaby cause you never did. You whispered me words of poetry, coloured me in pain, and made promises you never kept. You drew me in and then threw me out, but you keep looking back. I ask you what you want, but you can never say. So, I ask you to tell me a story and you sing me a Lullaby-y-y, one where fairytales of true love make me want to dream."

Their eyes were fixed on the dark red liquid pooling beneath me. Ethan's expression twisted with panic. His voice trembled as he crouched beside me. "Honey, it's going to be okay. Our baby will be fine." He reached out to touch my abdomen—then froze. His eyes widened in shock as realization dawned. My stomach was already flat. His hands shook uncontrollably. "Honey—" His voice cracked. "Where's our baby?" My consciousness began to drift, pulling me into a haze where memories surfaced—memories of a time when Ethan had just graduated, back when we were still deeply in love.

But it’s the meaning of the words that hold power- and for the Alphas, it strikes a chord of recognition. Per lunam et per astra… (Through the moon and through the stars…) Vocem antiquam appellamus… (We call upon the ancient voice…) The Elders, their faces suddenly pale, begin to shake their heads in disbelief. Their bodies begin to tremble. And I can read it on their faces ‘It’s impossible. It can’t be happening.’ Per umbras profundas et lucem longinquam… (Through deep shadows and far light…) Sanguinem luporum, virtutem ultra.

"What star were you born under, girl? That's awesome freaking luck." I blinked. "Draco. Specifically Triplex Rising. What star were you born under?" All three of my men inhaled sharply as Drace laughed softly. "I think Drace was being humorous, Hollyn," Ari said. "But it would make sense that all four of you were born under Triplex Rising." I looked at my grandmother. "How do you know what star they were born under?" Ari laughed. "Because I'm the goddess of the night sky. Stars are my domain."

Bruno and Helena's words echoed in the dining room, filling the space with an atmosphere of love and gratitude. As dinner continued, Bruno and Helena exchanged knowing smiles, knowing they were surrounded by the unconditional love and support of their children and grandchildren. They knew that, regardless of what the future held, they had everything they needed: each other and a family united by love. *** The scene was serene, enveloped by the soft dimness of the night, while the stars sparkled in the firmament, silent witnesses to a story unfolding over the years. Bruno, immersed in the contemplation of the night sky, felt connected to something greater, a sense of nostalgia and gratitude p

He said quietly as he attached the necklace on my neck. “I didn't know you know so much about astronomy.” I said to him after I turned to him. I looked down on my Evenstar, which shinned so bright, it made me blind! I smiled to myself. “First thing that popped into my head about Evenstar was the Lord of-“ I started explaining something but Mike interrupted me.

Orion said to her, squeezing her shoulder. Danica shut her eyes and ran her fingers over the chest. She could feel all the buttons but she needed to know which order to push them. There were so many constellations in the night sky and some were very close in shape to others. She skimmed her fingers over the buttons once more. Her eyes shot open. She glanced at Ariadne. It was perfect. “It’s Ariadne’s crown.” Danica said smiling to Ariadne.

Jason explained. "Woe." Claire whispered looking at the stars. "Evening." Jason smiled at Morgan. "Morgan, you're finally up. Do you know how many times I checked on you? I've never seen you sleep like that! Come lay by me Jason's telling us stories about the stars." Claire said happily, patting the deck next to her. Morgan chuckled, thankful for Claire's excitement and made her way over to her laying down. Her eyes scanned the sky. "So if you can't find the north star. It's easy to find ursa major. See right there that almost square set of stars with a tail." Jack said to Claire.
