The Orion Team. Novels & Stories

Orion shook his head without hesitation. “You’re the center of this plan,” he said simply. “If anything happens to you, the whole search falls apart.” His voice softened slightly as he added, “Whether it’s for the mission or for my own peace of mind… I’d rather stay where I can keep an eye on you.” There was no room to argue with the way he said it. So in the end, both he and Eira joined my team. By the time the clock struck six, we were ready.

“Oh, and your mommy really stayed in my Shadow Chamber last night. We shared the big fur mattress, and she asked me to have breakfast with her this morning.” Orion looks like his whole world is ending. He looks ready to burst into tears. He thinks I have lost my mind for trusting the big bad captain of the Ironvale hockey team. “I kept her safe from the doctor,” Kaelen adds, his voice dropping the teasing tone. Orion wipes his nose with his sleeve. He feels a bit better. At least his mommy wasn't being silly. “Are you really going to tear that bad wolf apart?” Orion demands, staring straight into Kaelen’s eyes.

“She’s the most celebrated singer in the city right now. And the man Orion is both a model and an actor. He’s also the nephew of the founder of Tela Filming Industry.” Elowen arched a brow, her smile turning sharper. “Orion…” she murmured, the name rolling off her tongue like a discovery. She’d heard about him—his disdain for Caspian was practically legend, especially after he’d convinced his family not to invest in G Group.

I drifted off slightly as the list continued until Luna Celestia announced our team, pausing slightly before she read the name, "Team four is Lunar Victorious, consisting of Brandy Gillette, Ryder Gillette, Ruby Rodgers, Brook Mason, Bryce Jacobs, Trevor Henry, Chase Luis, Maybelle Wright, Grace Keller, and Raven Stone." There was an uncomfortable silence settling over the crowd before Luna Celestia started the next team, "Team five is...," I drifted off again, my gaze wandering around the stage and everyone on it. It felt like only seconds before Luna Celestia's voice came again, this time louder and more commanding, addressing the whole crowd, "Alright, I hope you all remembered your team

“But we trust you.” He looked at me then, really looked, and I saw the shadow of something unspoken flicker across his face. Fear, maybe even guilt. “They won’t like this,” he warned. “Neither do we,” Orion said. “But here we are. The charming one, the hot-headed one, and the emotionally constipated one. A perfect team.” “I’m stabbing you first,” Caelan said flatly. Orion smirked. “That means I’m your favorite.”

I asked Zack. His eyes met mine in the mirror, hard and piercing. "Because now that Ladon's arrived, no one really has any idea what that snake is going to do. And I am fairly sure it knows my face. The last thing I want is that beast rattling its ugly head on my doorstep. At least with Orion, there's a plan. And most of all." He paused, tapping his fingers on his thigh. “Orion has a pack. Full of what’s it called again?”

Andrius said straightly. "Pft, Orion?" Vanessa said, can't hide her laughter. Orion's was one of the organizations who wants to defeat them, but they can't just do it after trying so many times. There's a huge difference between the two of them. They were the strongest while that organization was just the ants trying to block their ways.

Orni became anxious about her parents. " Rion, call your grandpa and ask him where is he?" Orni said which Rion obliged without any delay. After talking to Sanjay, Rion informed Orni," They are in front of a market. Because of the thunderstorm, they paused for some time." " I just hope they arrive safely," Orni mumbled before concentrating on her work. After finishing her work Orni took a shower and changed her clothes. She sat in front of the mirror and started brushing her hair. The noise from the living room was indicating that Roman and Rion were busy watching IPL.

Orion responded hoping that she picked up on the fact that he was talking about her. Luckily for them they were interrupted by Reese. "Look at the love birds... My mom told me that you will be neck deep into enjoying the game and I can see that she's not wrong at all. How have you been faring with your sparring partner?" She asked with a sickly smile. "I don't think that I've ever had any partner that is greater than the one that is in front of me right now." Orion answered with annoyance. It was either Reese was pretending not to have insight on what was going on or she was just genuinely oblivious because she burst into a wider smile, this time even more genuine than anybody could have eve

Orion was here, and despite everything, despite all his flaws and his violent past, he truly did love me. "I know," I whispered back. "I know you didn't. But this is the choice we made. Now we have to live with it." We stayed like that for several long minutes, just holding each other in the darkness while Ricky and Shawn were waiting patiently nearby. The homesickness didn't disappear, but it became more bearable, as it became like we were sharing it between us instead of carried alone. Finally, Orion pulled back slightly to look at me. "We can stop for the night," he said. "You need rest. We all do."
