"You have been chosen by the shifting stars, Scarlett," the oracle began in a voice that resonated through the room. "Your journey is not just to save Gabriel, but to fulfill a prophecy that has spanned centuries." Scarlett's pulse quickened, her curiosity mounting. She leaned forward, eager to hear the secrets of her past and the purpose of her quest. "Long ago," the oracle continued, "there existed a powerful kingdom ruled by a benevolent queen. This queen possessed the ability to harness the energy of the shifting stars, bringing balance and harmony to the land." Scarlett's eyes widened, her mind racing with the possibility of her connection to this queen. "You, Scarlett, are this queen," the oracle revealed. "The powers you possess, the strength within you, they are a gift from your bloodline as the daughter of Helle, granddaughter of Creation.

ALTERNATE UNIVERSE Kael stepped forward, his face tense. "Your Majesty, Scarlette, Demetrius," he greeted them, bowing low. "I have troubling news from the Vampire Council." Gabriel's jaw clenched. "What is it?" "The Council has received reports of a group of rogue vampires attacking nearby villages, killing and turning humans indiscriminately," Kael explained. "They believe that it might be the work of one of our own." Gabriel's eyes narrowed. "One of our own?" "Yes, Your Majesty," Kael confirmed. "The Council suspects that the perpetrator might be one of the rebels who defied their orders and left the clan years ago." Scarlette felt a shiver run down her spine. "What do we do?" "We investigate," Gabriel said firmly. "We cannot let our kind be associated with this kind of brutality. We will find the perpetrator and bring them to justice." Scarlette nodded, knowing that Gabriel was right. They could not let their love for each other blind them to the responsibilities that came

She was running from it in a sweat, her heart racing in fear. she knew the shadow was following her, she could not have been older than 16. Before she could reach her destination the shadow caught up with her own shadow. It seemed as if the two shadows were wrestling and then the girl just slumped down, face ashen as if she had died weeks ago.I knew this was New Orleans because there was loud Jazz music, the way the streets were set up with that homey feeling, and the culture was so engulfing, I went to look up when the New Orleans Jazz f

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your pilot speaking; We have reached our destination. We now ask that you please fasten your seatbelts for landing, thank you for flying with Delta Airlines. I stretch out of my sleep and fasten my seatbelt. I had a cup of coffee and some crisps on the first flight and got a Mega McMuffin on the Atlanta layover, I am not sure if it was hunger from all the walking or boredom from all the waiting because I had waffles and berries on the flight from Amsterdam with another coffee and two bottles of Fiji water.

As the car zoomed down the winding road, singing along to their favorite tunes, Scarlett couldn't shake off the feeling that something strange was about to happen. A chill ran down her spine, making her hair stand on end. Her ocean-blue eyes darted around, searching for any sign of what was to come. Suddenly, a sharp pang shot through Scarlett's head. She winced, clutching her temples, as a voice echoed in her mind. It was gentle yet commanding, like a whisper carried by the wind. "Scarlett," the voice called, resonating in her thoughts. Confused and a little frightened, Scarlett glanced around in the car at her friends, but they seemed oblivious to what she was experiencing. She shifted in her seat, trying to make sense of it all. "Seek the ancient artifact, hidden deep within the forest," the voice continued, its urgency creeping into Scarlett's mind. "It holds the power to awaken your true abilities and unlock the secrets of your past." Scarlett's heart raced. Who was speaking t

“It’s witch, with a W” Moira patronized Lydia “What a feisty one you are little sister.” She said with a smirk on her face. The wind grew stronger at her verbal jabs. “Why are you doing this to these people Moira, what have they done to you?” Lydia asked, her voice had even thickened a bit. “Put away the claws kitten and I will tell you. I won’t waste my strength shouting over your chaos.” Moira answered Lydia. Lydia dissipated her power just enough to make Moira believe she had closed off access to her magic. “Great, now contrary to popular belief, I am not after the Nishruu inside of you.” Moira said in disgust, “I have seen how those things have driven family members crazy or to suicide, I refuse to host such an abomination.” she continued, “Alright let me start at the beginning.” Moira clapped her hands together and rubbed them as though she was ready to have a feast. “A little history little sister, the Nishruu was not placed inside of you because our family was trying to save

“So you’re going to stand there and pretend you don’t know who I am?” Sasha asked Asher. The beta frowned and then sniffed the air again this time zoning in on the Queen Luna. His eyes widened as tears started to stream down his face, and he fell to his knees. That was not the reaction she expected. “Of course not Lilly,” Asher said, which made Scarlett's eyes widen as she recalled her dream of the other universe where Gabriel and Scarlett had a little girl with them called Lily. “My name is Sasha.” She said to him anger boiling in her chest. “Olivia named you Lily, forgive me, Lyle must have asked the humans to rename you to keep you hidden,” Asher said as his voice broke. “What did you just say?” She asked him in confusion as her anger only dissipated by a fraction. “Alpha Johnson did not kill you even though the witch warned him this day would come and you would seek your vengeance upon him for slaughtering our true Luna.” Beta Miller said, still on his knees. “Well, so my siste

“We have reached our destination.” At those words Sasha was awake and alert, ready for any attack but when she looked around she saw they were parked in the middle of nowhere. “We move on foot from here,” Gabriel said as everyone got out of the car. “WHY?!” Sasha whined, “Nobody likes to hike Gabe” Lydia groaned with Sasha, “I beg to differ, that is actually how Scar and I met.” Jackson added in full of laughter and Scarlett joined in on their private joke, causing their mates to give them death glares. “Oh stop it you two, it wasn’t like that.” Scarlett said “Yeah, I have mistaken her for an Irish person and she went off on me. Besides I wanted to know who was in my territory as her aura set the whole pack into a frenzy.” Jackson concluded and the two burst out laughing again. “I can’t even smell wolves from here,” Sasha whined again. “5-mile radius babe, we don’t want to lose the element of surprise until it’s too fucking late and they find us on their doorsteps,” Jackson said wi
