Thoma X Aether Novels & Stories

GAVRAEL ~ “You must not be in the nether realm before it is time or there is no salvation for the destruction you will wreak on this realm.” Theia said to me when I told her that Adaira would not go anywhere without me. “That’s fucking bullshit! This could be another one of your fucking traps. I’m not putting my mate in danger because of you.”I bellowed and Adaira reassured me that the girl was right. “She will not be in any danger, only her spirit is crossing realms, her body will remain here with you.” Theia said.

Carve out the heart of every member she loves. She's a werewolf, she can hear my thoughts. I hide nothing. “My name…” she whispers. Voice broken now. Small. “My name is Athena Denvers.” Athena.

It was against the Forgotten. “I will not serve you,” he said, his voice loud and clear. “Not anymore.” The Forgotten roared in rage, and a wave of dark energy shot out, striking Aether.

Cole and Lila rushed to his side, their power wrapping around him, trying to heal him. “Thank you,” Aether whispered, his eyes closing. “The Key… It’s in the Well of Origins. In the heart of the well. You have to find it… before he does.”

“I think your heart already knows the answer.” A heavy silence followed, then Theo sighed deeply, as though exhaling years of buried guilt. “You’re right. I can’t ignore this any longer.” He lowered his voice to a near whisper. “I’ve decided to… seek someone who can help me find her. A sorcerer from outside the known lands. Quietly.” At his words, Matt’s eyes widened. “Alpha, no! You know the law. Sorcery is forbidden — if anyone, especially Alpha Damian, finds out—”

Every muscle is taut, locked and loaded like he is a spring waiting to jump. In the background, I can hear Astrid howling in pain. Korrin is deeply focused on her, and every hair rises on my body when I realize what he is doing. He is using that zareth frequency on Astrid, the one that can blow up a person’s head! I sit up. “Korrin, no!” He doesn’t listen.
