2021-08-18 11:29:46Sitting by the fireplace in Ellis's cabin brought me some sort of comfort. Saige and I were a bundle of nerves the moment we stepped inside and Ellis left us with glasses of wine as she continued to cook. The wine seemed to calmed Saige's anxiety; she paced around the den with her glass in hand as she looked through the photos Ellis has framed.
She gasped and grabbed a photo before running towards me. "Look at how adorable this is! We need to ask for a copy and give it to Elios" she gushed and pushed the frame into my chest.
I caught it and held it up for a better view. Seeing what the photo held brought a smile to my face. It was Elios and Astrid at her birthday party. He was putting a flower crown he probably made on her head for her and they were smiling at each other. He is such a romantic.

"What are you doing up?

"Mission accomplished" he joked.I smiled and leaned against his arm. I looked up into the starry night with him. The stars appeared so bright out here; there's no light pollution since we're so far

Present DayKaia’s POV“Darling….are you okay?”The sound of my mate’s voice helped in controlling the fire that stirred within me but it still burned with rage. I decided on my path since retrieving all of my memories; all of my real memories. The audacity of my father to make us believe he was the good guy. He wasn’t the miserable widower he made himself out to be. I wonder if that is the reason behind why his wolf lies dormant in his soul.

They lost their love for each other as people but their wolves craved and ached for each other no matter the circumstance.That is why he is considered disabled

Elios’s POVKaia sighed heavily as she sat on my bed and buried her face in her hands with her elbows on her knees. I can tell from the way her shoulders slumped over that she was exhausted. This entire week has been quite traumatic to say the least. My sisters get all of their memories back, we found out that we lost a brother and I found out my dad murdered my mom. On top of that, Astrid is dealing with a loss and a traumatic experience of her own. I’m only glad I was able to be there for her.“Kaia, I promise you that I’m okay. You don’t need to keep watch like I’m a patient in a psyche ward” I told her and sat next to her.Kaia chuckled and looked up from her hands. Despite being asleep for three days, the bags under her eyes were prominent and she looked like she aged 5 more years in the short amo

Kaia’s POVOf all the ways I could be spending my morning, this wasn’t what I had in mind. I have been persuaded to come to this small dinner in the middle of town to share a table with Ren, Blaire and fucking Alec. I understand that Alec and Ren are best friends and Alec is more than likely going to be Bastian’s successor but I hate what he did to Blaire. What I hate more is the fact that I couldn’t run and support her because of my dad’s constant threats but this demon crossed a line with my best friend and if it’s forgiveness he is looking for, he’s going to try harder than pancakes and hash browns.I sat beside Ren at the table but I was conveniently placed in front of Alec who is trying exceptionally hard to avoid my gaze. I kept my arms crossed over my chest and narrowed my eyes at him.“Ka

11 years ago….. Bellatrix’s POV “Baby mine, don't you cry. Baby mine, dry your eyes. Rest your head close to my heart. Never to part, baby of mine” I started to sing as I gently rocked Elios in my arms in the living room. He stirred and yawned before snuggling against my breast with his eyes half way open. I chuckled lightly and ran a finger over his cheek. How beautiful is he? “Don’t be like that Elios” I whispered. “Little one, when you play. Don't you mind what they say. Let your eyes sparkle and shine. Never a tear, baby of mine” I heard the wood creak behind me and sweet scent of honey nectar crept in my nostrils and I smiled, “If they knew all about you. They'd end up loving you, too. All those same people who scold you. What they'd give just for the right to hold you” I continued singing even after feeling Ophelia’s arms wrap around my waist and rested her head on my shoulder. “From your head to your toes. You're not much, heaven knows. But you're so precious to me. Sweet a

Four months later….. Saige’s POV Elijah placed a hand on my shaking leg to steady myself and brought his lips close to my ear, “My love relax. We’re just meeting her today. We don’t need to make a decision right away” he assured me. I exhaled deeply and placed a hand over his, “I know but I’ve read her file over and over again and something is pulling me towards her. I’m just afraid that it’ll turn out like those Lifetime movies” I whispered. I gulped as I looked around the small home of our potential surrogate. “You watch too much television. Just relax. Like I said we don’t need to decide today” he repeated just as the petite brunette walked back into the living room with a tray of lemonades for us. “I apologize for the slight mess.

I would like to speak to your mate in the meantime and Rebekah is too far along to carry a 5-year-old" Ares added sternly to Kaia while sending daggers in my direction. I stirred in my seat.Kaia approached him nervously and held her arms out for the boy to willingly fall into. He stared into her big doe eyes for a few moments before smiling and reaching for her. She lifted him into her arms and I watched him snuggle against her. She supported his weight and turned to Rebekah who smiled fondly at the interaction. I found myself smiling too and thinking about how our kids would be so lucky to have a mother like my darling."Okay Councilwoman. Please follow me" she said and led her out of the ballroom. She sent me some reassurance through our link before exiting the doors. Which calmed my nerves just enough for me not to shit my pants.Ares pointed his head towards the other side of the room, away from

Kaia's POVAs I walked down the stairs with everyone, I took my time analyzing the guests who were arriving. Witches, warlocks, demons, and a few vampires have decided to join us. Everyone dressed according to the theme which brought a smile to my face; flapper dresses, pant suits, fedoras, and even everyone's hair was styled for the part. It also comforted me to know that some of our guests heeded our warning and hid their weapons well under their clothing.My eyes landed on Damon who was greeting everyone at the door. What I would give to take his ass down right now. I can't believe he tricked me and my entire pack into believing this fake persona.

19 years ago…. Ren’s POV “Ren honey did you hear what Bastian explained?” my mom called to me from the front seat. I turned my head away from the window and looked up into the rear view mirror to see her eyes. I smiled and nodded, “Yes mommy. He said the new park we’re going to has supernaturals and I should be on my best behavior” “That’s right honey. Are you excited?” “Yeah! I get to make new friends!” I exclaimed cheerfully. Bastian smiled at my outburst and turned us into the park’s parking lot. He found a spot quickly and placed the car in park. He took his seatbelt off and turned in his seat to look at me. “Okay Ren time for a pop quiz. Are you ready?” I giggled and nodded, wiggling e

Elios’s POVHow long has it been? Days? Weeks? With the lack of windows, it’s hard to tell when a new day has started and ended. The only way I can tell that time passes if when a servant comes and serves Aziel a large platter of food and only throws us three pieces of bread and half a cup of water throughout the day.The small amount of food and water isn’t enough to help my healing especially since I don’t have a wolf yet. I can only rely on my Lycan blood to fight against the scorching feel of the silver on my wrists and ankles. The metallic mixed with flesh burning stench was all anyone could smell when entering here. With my silver chains, Jax restricted by the blessed chains and Astrid being held captive with iron I’m sure that the atmosphere is more than unpleasant.Speaking of un-pleasantries, Aziel has sa

He didn’t get taken away from us. He’s right here. I outstretched my arm in search of his small body. My heart perked up when my hand grabbed onto a small wrist but I couldn’t stop my disappointment when I opened my eyes to find Kaia sleeping beside me in Elios’s bed.I can see the streaks of dried tears on her face and the dark circles under her eyes. It would be best not to wake her now. She’s barely getting enough sleep as it i
