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
TRIGGER WARNING, PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!Gaia POV.I wait for Britany to respond; I don’t want to push her too much. I know this is hard for her, and I know Nic feels guilty for it.“I used to, but I don’t know any more, Gaia. I was fine until the hearing yesterday. What that bitch said brought it all back. I had locked it away, or so I thought I had, but it burst free and it was like I was back there again. I don’t think I can ever forgive him or get over this.” I pull her into a hug as she sobs on my shoulder.“It’s ok, you are not alone babe. You will be ok, we will help you get through this. I know you don’t trust him right now and may never again, and I will not make excuses for him. No matter what you decide to do, I will support you 100% in your decision. Don’t think you have to do what others expect of you. It’s your life and your choice.” I say to her as I gently rub her back.I look at the training ground and see Nic watching us with a frown on his face. He knows
TRIGGER WARNING, PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!Leo POV.We all watch in horror at what Gaia has just said. What the fuck is going on?“The first time she felt your betrayal, she caught you in your bed with three whores, yes?” I watch as she balls her fists to her sides and I can feel the anger, sadness, and need for revenge build in her.“ANSWER ME!” she screams and I see a few jump at her tone. She is filled with hate and will hurt him.“Yes,” she growls at him, and so does Sofia. I look between them both and move closer to her when Calista stops me and shakes his head and I can’t read his expression. He is cold.“Do you remember when she collapsed? When she fucking passed out clutching her belly.” I take a breath at her words when the temperature in the room plummets and I know she is pissed.“She was pregnant with your pup. Your pain of betrayal caused her to miscarry in the fucking shower of your room. Then because of that, when you continued and then started beating her, th
