Mason's POV

I toss and turn on the bed, not able to sleep despite my creeping exhaustion. I keep closing my eyes and concentrating on it, hoping sleep would come and take away all the weird thoughts in my head, but it doesn't.

For some strange reason, all I can think about is Aurora. I can't get the image of her face out of my head. I don't know what kind of hold she has on me, but right now it feels almost extra strong.

I turn around again, and this time, Margot groans beside me. She stares at me through narrowed eyes, and I can feel exasperation even in the dim light. "What's going on with you? Why can't you sleep?"

I wish I knew, but I don't. I just feel restless for some reason. But of course, I just tell her, "It's nothing."

"Are you sure?" she asks. "Because I can send someone to get you something to drink so you can relax--"

"Margot, I said it's nothing." My anger is flaring. "Just let me be and let's sleep, okay? There's no need to make a huge fuss out of this."

    Mason's POVI let go of Uncle Benjamin immediately. He collapses on the floor, coughing and gagging as he grabs his neck. Panic rises in my throat like bile, but at the same time, I know that I have to remain calm for this."What the hell are you thinking?" Uncle Benjamin croaks as he straightens up.His eyes are bloodshot, and I can clearly see the marks of my hands around his neck. He stays away from me, and I think that might have been the best idea he ever had for the past day or so. I let him get away, but only because the pain in my chest is getting more and more intense.Aurora is experiencing this too, I realize. It's probably not physical, but it feels... Extreme. She's hurting badly.I get out of the house again, getting into my car to head to the Everleys and tell them that I heard Aurora might be in trouble. I don't know if any of them knows about the fact that she's also my mate, but it's worth the risk. I have to let them know that she's in trouble and we need to save he

    Aurora's POVI struggle to sit up, my body protesting with every movement. The nurse's footsteps have barely faded down the hall, and already, my mind is racing with thoughts of escape. But as I try to swing my legs over the side of the bed, a wave of dizziness hits me hard. I clutch the edge of the mattress, willing the room to stop spinning."Okay, maybe not right this second," I mutter, easing back against the pillows.As I lie there, staring at the ceiling, I can't help but wonder how I ended up here. The last thing I remember is walking into the forest, seeing those piercing blue eyes, and then... nothing—a complete blank.The door opens again, and Hannah returns with a steaming bowl of porridge on a tray. The smell makes my stomach growl, reminding me how long it's been since I've eaten."Here we go," she chirps, setting the tray on the bedside table. "Let's get you sitting up properly."She adjusts the bed, raising me to a more upright position, then places the tray on my lap. I

    Mason's POV:I could feel the thick tension in the air when I stepped into the dimly lit room. Margot was sprawled on the bed, her eyes glinting with a dangerous mix of desire and frustration. I hesitated at the doorway, the image of Aurora's desperate face flashing before my eyes. It had been weeks since she vanished, leaving a gaping hole in my heart and an unshakeable guilt that gnawed at my conscience every waking moment."Mason," Margot purred, her voice dripping with seductive promise. "Are you just going to stand there all night?" She shifted on the bed, her slender body outlined against the dark sheets.I took a deep breath, forcing a smile. "Sorry, I was lost in thought."Her eyes narrowed slightly. "You've been lost in thought a lot lately. Ever since Aurora disappeared, you've been... different."I clenched my jaw, stepping further into the room. "It's been a tough time for everyone, Margot.""For everyone?" she repeated, her voice taking on a sharper edge. "Or just for you

    Aurora's POVThe morning sunlight streams through the window, casting a warm glow across the hospital room. I'm sitting in bed, feeling more substantial than in days. Hannah, the kind nurse caring for me, bustles around the room, checking my vitals and chatting amiably."How are you feeling this morning, Aurora?" she asks, her smile bright and genuine."Better," I reply, surprised to find it trustworthy. "Thank you for everything, Hannah."She waves off my gratitude. "It's my pleasure. You mentioned yesterday that you might be ready to talk about what happened. Is that still true?"I take a deep breath, steeling myself. "Yes, I think so. It's just... complicated."Hannah pulls up a chair, settling in beside me. "Take your time, dear. I'm here to listen."Just as I'm about to begin my story, a knock at the door interrupts us. Hannah looks up, surprise flickering across her face."Come in," she calls.The door swings open, revealing a tall, broad-shouldered man with piercing green eyes

    Aurora's POVThe pain engulfs me like a tidal wave, relentless and all-consuming. I'm vaguely aware of voices around me, urgent and concerned, but I can't focus on anything beyond the agony coursing through my body. Time becomes meaningless, stretching and contracting in strange ways.When I finally managed my eyes, the room was a blur of white and muted colors. As my vision cleared, I saw Ethan's worried face hovering above me. His green eyes were concerned, and I realized he was holding my hand tightly."Aurora?" he says softly. "Can you hear me?"I try to speak, but my throat feels raw and parched. Ethan quickly reaches for a glass of water, gently lifting my head to help me drink. The cool liquid is a blessed relief."What... what happened?" I manage to croak out after a few sips.Ethan's brow furrows. "You had some kind of attack. The pain seemed intense. I called for our pack doctor immediately."An older man in a white coat enters the room as if on cue. He has kind eyes and a r

The weight of responsibility sits heavy on my shoulders, knowing I'll soon be taking his place as Alpha. It's what I've been trained for my entire life, but now that the moment is approaching, I feel a mix of anticipation and dread.I pause outside his door, taking a deep breath to compose myself before entering. Once an influential and imposing figure, my father looks frail against the white hospital sheets. But his eyes are as sharp as ever when they lock onto mine."Mason," he says, his voice weaker than I remember but still carrying that undeniable air of authority. "Come, sit with me."I take the chair beside his bed, trying to mask my concern. "How are you feeling, Dad?"He waves off my question with a weak hand. "We both know I don't have much time left. That's not why I called you here."I nod, steeling myself for what's to come."You need to be ready," he continues, his g

    Aurora's POVThe days since I agreed to join the Nightshade Pack have passed in a blur of recovery and adjustment. True to his word, Ethan has gone above and beyond to ensure my comfort and safety. When the doctor cleared me to leave the hospital, Ethan insisted on moving me into a cozy guest house on the pack grounds."You need a proper place to recover," he had said, his tone brooking no argument. "Somewhere quiet, where you can rest and adjust at your own pace."Now, as I sit by the window of my new temporary home, I can't help but marvel at the kindness I've been shown. The guest house is small but beautifully furnished, with large windows that let in plenty of natural light. It's more luxury than ever, and part of me still can't believe it's real.A soft knock at the door pulls me from my thoughts. "Come in," I call out, smiling as I see Sarah, the nurse Ethan hired to help with my recovery, enter the room."Good morning, Aurora," Sarah says brightly, carrying a tray with breakfa

    Aurora's POVThe first rays of sunrise painted the Celestial Temple in shades of gold as I stood on its highest balcony, watching my transformed power ripple across the realms. A week had passed since the final battle with the Void Lord, since I'd made the choice that changed everything."The barriers between worlds are stronger than ever," Mason observed, joining me at the railing. His presence was comfortable now, free from the weight of past guilt and unspoken feelings."But not impenetrable," Ethan added from my other side, his protective instincts tempered by newfound understanding. "Just as they should be."I smiled, feeling the perfect balance of energies flowing through me. "A bridge needs both strength and flexibility. Like relationships."Both men chuckled at that, the sound free from the tension that had once characterized their every interaction. My choice to forge my own path, to love them both in different but equally meaningful ways, had transformed more than just our p

Mason and Ethan were suspended in twin vortexes of void energy, their life forces flickering like candles in a storm. The Void Lord's final, desperate attack had left me with a decision that threatened to tear my heart in two."Choose, Star Walker," the Void Lord's voice echoed across dimensions. "Save your hunter, tainted by the shadows of his past? Or your protector, whose love has become a chain?"I looked between them, these two men who had shaped so much of my journey. Mason, his eyes filled with a mix of love and resignation, silently urging me to do what needed to be done. Ethan, fierce even in the face of oblivion, his gaze never leaving mine.Time seemed to slow as I grappled with the weight of this moment. Every shared laugh, every heated argument, every tender touch flashed through my mind. I saw the paths our lives could take - the joys and sorrows, the triumphs and heart

    Aurora's POVThe sky above the Celestial Temple blazed with otherworldly light as I faced the Void Lord in our final confrontation. Reality itself seemed to warp around us, the fabric of the multiverse straining under the weight of our clashing powers. Mason and Ethan stood at my flanks, their presence a steadying force amidst the chaos."Your efforts are futile, Star Walker," the Void Lord's voice boomed across dimensions. "I am eternal, a force of nature itself. You cannot hope to defeat me."I stood my ground, starlight and shadow swirling around me in perfect harmony. "I don't need to defeat you," I declared, my voice steady despite the fear clawing at my insides. "I just need to restore the balance you've disrupted."The Void Lord's laughter shook the foundations of reality. "Balance? There is only power, little star. And soon, all the power in existence will be mine."He unleashed a torrent of void energy, a darkness so absolute it threatened to devour everything in its path. I

    Aurora's POVThe cosmic maelstrom raged around us as I stood at the epicenter of the battle, my powers stretched to their limits. The Void Lord's armies seemed endless, pouring through rifts in reality that threatened to tear the very fabric of existence apart. Mason and Ethan fought valiantly by my side, their strengths perfectly complementing each other in a dance of deadly precision.But it wasn't enough. For every Void Walker we struck down, two more took its place. Our allies were falling, overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of our adversaries. The multiverse itself groaned under the strain of the conflict, cracks spreading across the sky like spider webs."We can't keep this up forever," Mason shouted, his face streaked with blood and grime. "There has to be another way!"Ethan growled in agreement, his massive wolf form bristling with barely contained rage. "Whatever it takes, Aurora. We're with you."Their unwavering support, despite the seemingly insurmountable odds, filled me w

    Aurora's POVThe sky above the Celestial Temple turned an ominous shade of crimson as reality itself began to fracture. I stood atop the highest spire, my newly awakened powers pulsing in harmony with the cosmic turmoil around us. Mason and Ethan flanked me, their faces grim as we surveyed the approaching storm."It's time," I said softly, feeling the weight of destiny settle on my shoulders. "The Void Lord is coming."As if summoned by my words, the air before us shimmered and tore open. A figure emerged from the rift - tall, regal, and radiating an aura of pure malevolence. The Void Lord's eyes, twin pools of infinite darkness, fixed upon me with predatory intent."Aurora Nightshade," he intoned, his voice resonating with otherworldly power. "The last Star Walker. How fitting that you should bear witness to the end of all realms."I stepped forward, starlight and shadow swirling around me in perfect balance. "This isn't the end," I declared, my voice steady despite the fear clawing

    Aurora's POVThe ancient ritual chamber shook violently as void energy collided with celestial power. I stood at its center, channeling everything I had into maintaining the protective barrier around us. Mason and Ethan fought back-to-back nearby, holding off waves of Void Hunters as Alexandra prepared her transformation ritual."The barrier's weakening!" Mason shouted, expertly taking down two attackers. "We need to stop her before she completes the circle!"Ethan growled in agreement, his wolf form massive and deadly as he defended our position. "Aurora, whatever you're planning, do it now!"Blood trickled from my nose as I maintained the shield. The armor my mother left me pulsed with warning - I was pushing too hard, using too much power. But I couldn't stop. Not when everything we fought for hung in the balance."Oh, let them watch," Alexandra's voice rang out as she completed another section of the ritual circle. "Let them see what true power looks like!"The air crackled with d

    Aurora's POVThe ancient scroll trembled in my hands as I decoded the final symbols. After weeks of research and countless dead ends, the truth behind the Void Hunters' ritual lay exposed before me. My blood ran cold as the full implications became clear."They never wanted to destroy the celestial bloodlines," I whispered, horror creeping into my voice. "They wanted to become them."Mason and Ethan crowded closer, examining the decoded text over my shoulders. We stood in the heart of the Celestial Temple's forbidden archives, surrounded by artifacts of immense power."The ritual isn't just about harvesting power," I continued, my voice growing stronger as understanding dawned. "It's about transformation. They believe they can use my blood - the blood of the last pure Star Walker - to transform themselves into celestial beings.""That's impossible," Ethan growled, but Mason's face had gone pale."No," Mason said quietly. "That's why they've been gathering power from different supernat

    Aurora's POVThe Grand Council chamber hummed with supernatural energy as I stood before the assembled leaders of every major faction. Ancient vampires, werewolf Alphas, fae royalty, and even a few celestial elders - all gathered because of me. The thought would have terrified me once. Now, wearing my mother's armor and feeling celestial power course through my veins, I met their scrutiny without flinching."The Void Hunters threaten all of us," I declared, my voice carrying to every corner of the vast chamber. "Their ritual won't just harvest celestial power - it will shatter the barriers between realms, unleashing chaos that will destroy everything we hold dear.""Bold claims from one so young," a vampire elder drawled, his ancient eyes calculating. "Why should we risk our people in your war?"I smiled, letting starlight dance across my skin. With a gesture, I created a viewing portal in the center of the chamber, showing the devastation the Void Hunters had already caused."Because

    Aurora's POVThe hidden chamber beneath my mother's old cottage seemed to pulse with ancient magic as I pushed open the heavy wooden door. Dust motes danced in the beam of my celestial light, swirling around centuries-old artifacts and towering bookshelves."This is incredible," Mason breathed, his eyes wide as he took in the collection. "Your mother was gathering intelligence on the Void Hunters long before they started hunting her."Ethan moved protectively closer as we ventured deeper into the chamber. "She was preparing for something. Look at these defensive wards - they're unlike anything I've ever seen."I approached a massive desk covered in star charts and ancient texts. My hands trembled as I picked up a leather-bound journal, recognizing my mother's elegant handwriting."'Project Starfall,'" I read aloud, my voice echoing in the chamber. "'The Void Hunters believe they are the hunters, but they are merely pawns in a game centuries older than they realize.'"As I turned the p
