Gaia POV.After a rigorous night with my mates and very little sleep, I can’t wait to get home. My boobs are full and sore. Even being in the shower, they were leaking. The joys of breastfeeding. Seriously, they were like a milk fountain.When I got off the phone with mom, she told me the pain was normal and she had to use cabbage leaves to soothe hers! Erm, what the hell do cabbage leaves have to do with soothing breast pain? No, either way, I am not walking around with cabbage leaves in my bra.So here we are heading home, and I can’t wait to be with the pups. I look down at the engagement ring on my finger and smile. They were so cute with everything that they did for me yesterday and the proposal just thinking about it makes me well up with tears.“You ok?” I look at Gabe who is sitting beside me and he takes my hand and I smile and nod my head.“Yeah, just admiring my ring and everything you all did for me yesterday. It was beautiful and unexpected.” I say and he chuckles, shakin
Gaia POV.My mom, sister, Britany, aunt Destinee, and aunt Selene have been bombarding me with questions about the wedding. When we told them all, they were over the moon at the news. Even though I know they already knew, but still it was nice to tell them.The only thing I want, is to be left alone with all this wedding planning. Put me in a room with a damned soul and I know what I want to do, give me wedding planning and I come up blank not knowing what to do. I mean, what is the difference between cream and ivory? I swear to the Gods I’m ready to blow a gasket if I’m asked anymore about napkin colours.The men had the right idea and getting out of dodge with all the made up bullshit that they conveniently had to do. They will pay for leaving me to deal with this.“I need a break. I give you all full permission to do whatever the fuck you want to do. This is stressing me out. I only got engaged last week.” I say as I stand before I walk out of the living room. I need to do somethin
Gaia POV.It has been a few days since Selene told me what I need to do. I have to go to the settlement in Moonlight Cove. Lost in my thoughts as my thumbs brush the handle of my coffee mug.“What you thinking?” I turn my head with a sigh as I look at the door. My dad stands leaning against the doorframe, his arms folded over his chest and his ankles crossed.“Nothing much, just what Selene told me.” I say to him as he pushes himself off the frame and walks towards me, tilting his head to the side as he studies me. He leans opposite me over the kitchen island.“Well, you know what you have to do. So go do it. What’s stopping you?” He is watching me intently.“What if I get there and Odessa tells me something I don’t like? For all I know, she could be plotting against us because of what happened to Fate. What if … What if she tries to harm Rosa?” I say as I close my eyes and imagine all the possible scenarios and all end up with me, releasing my rage and giving into the darkness.“Hey
Gaia POV.“You know what it is I seek.” I tell her, and she nods her head as she looks at Rosa.“You want to know about the Oracle that resides in your daughter. Well, I will tell you.” I look at her as she looks out over the settlement.“Rosa is part of one half. The other is in a siren. I believe you know him.” She says and I nod, not wanting to interrupt her as I listen to her.“This is has never happened before. One Oracle soul being split between two different species. Oracles are special to the Sirens, not so much other species. Plus, it is new that an oracle will be part male.” I nod as I listen. I know this Asteria said Charlie is special as he is the first male oracle.“You want to know what to look out for as she comes into her power?” She chuckles at me.“She will already be coming into her power, visions, will happen more often, they will become stronger and more prominent, at the moment some of the things she will see will be jumbled and not completely true. The older she
Gaia POV.“Gaia?” I blink that the boy I saw a few months back was a tiny five-year-old child and now he looks like he is nearly an adult. How?“Sirens grow and mature quicker than any other shifter they have to, to be able to survive in the water. He is a warrior, a hunter.” Well, fucking hell!“Charlie … I … What? I can’t believe it. Look at you.” I walk to him when the woman at his side hisses at me and crouches low. I stop and smirk in her direction.“Hiss at me again and I will tear you apart.” I snarl at her when Charlie turns his head to look at her and he nods his head at her. She stands and bows to me, and this time I don’t tell her not to.“Mommy, who are they?” I turn and Rosa walks cautiously forward as I bend and pick her up. I look at Charlie and his eyes widen before he smiles at her.“Rosa. Don’t you remember me?” he asks her gently, and she shakes her head.“It’s me, Charlie. Your best friend.” He gestures to himself. He is wearing shorts and a T-shirt. When the woman
Calista POV.The past few days have been as peaceful as they can be. I suppose when we aren’t surrounded by shit going down; we don’t know what to do. Then again, I’m used to this.When Gaia told us her worries about Rosa and how she couldn’t find much out about Oracles, I knew it was upsetting her to the point she was becoming frustrated with everything. I understand that frustration because I am a parent and I know it’s hard when you don’t know what to do to help your pup, so when she said she was going to go to Moonlight Cove, we all agreed that she should.This side of Gaia is more unnerving as she never asked for permission or ever explained why she is doing something and the fact she is now, makes me uneasy.“It’s because she wants everyone’s input, not doing what she feels like. She has changed since we adopted Rosa. This is a pleasant change in her.” Diablo says, and I have to agree.At first it was a shock when she asked for our input in a decision, but we didn’t push her to
Gaia POV.Today is the day the bitches from Xena’s coven go on trial and I’m itching to tear them apart for what they have done to my brother and others, that they have done this to.Walking into the courtroom. It is like a human courtroom. The podium is on a platform, so the heads of the Supernatural Council sit above everyone else. I am sitting in the gallery with my family.I look towards the empty seats of the council and realise I haven’t heard from Dragus. I have been texting him every day to check in on him and they go read but not responded to. I know he will be taking this hard. All we can do is be there for him. I won’t push him, but I will speak to him today even if it kills me.I Hate knowing he is in pain. He may not be my uncle by blood, but he is my uncle regardless, and he was there since before I was born. I know he blames himself for not seeing what Xena was doing, but no-one can blame him she was his mate. I only hope he is ok and will be ok.The door to the left of
Gaia POV.Sitting in the back garden surrounded by my family is priceless. Dragus is having cuddles with the twins and for the first time since this horrible ordeal happened, he is smiling, genuinely smiling at the pups in his arms.“They are beautiful and are so happy.” He says as he looks at me and I smile at him.“Yeah, they are, but don’t let all that cuteness fool you. They are both little monsters.” I say with a chuckle as I see Skoll wave his closed fist in Dragus’s face. Yup, little monster.“Nah, I don’t believe you at all.” He chuckles as he looks back at them both. “Isn’t that right, your not little monsters, are you? No, you’re not.” He coos and it is nice to see him like the Dragus. I know he is happy.“Dragus, there is something we would like to ask you.” I squeeze Leo’s leg as the smile slowly leaves Dragus’s face. As he looks at us with a slight nod of his head.“Yes.” He gulps and I look at him and see worry line his features.“Put him out of his misery or I’ll put yo
