Rosa POV.The screaming grows louder as I move through the packhouse in one direction. Jadara and Cece both whimper.“What is it?” I ask when Jadara sighs in my head.“Those are the screams of the pain of betrayal. I’m sorry Rosa.” She says when it dawns on me. I reach for the door and burst through it and whimper, seeing my little brother curled up on his bed clutching his chest with tears streaming down his face.“Skoll! It’s ok, I’m here. Let me help you.” I move to him and clutch him to me and purr as Jadara comes forward, her anger hot at what she is seeing.“Make it stop.” He splutters out as he sobs. His claws have erupted and be tries to claw at his chest. I pin his hands and he snarls at me. Tears leave my eyes at seeing my baby brother in so much pain.“Sleep, Skoll. It will stop soon.” Jadara speaks through me as her emotions bleed into me. He collapses on the bed and I stand, pulling the quilt up over him.“Forgive me, brother. I will not allow you to suffer.” I say as I r
Charlie POV.It has been two weeks. Two weeks since Rosa lost control, two weeks since she was put in a drug-induced coma and placed in an enchanted glass cell underneath the Supernatural Council Headquarters.I keep replaying that night over in my head. Gaia was convinced that it was Jadara who killed both Paige and David. But I know different. It was Rosa. Her eyes never changed colour as she looked at me before she ripped Paige’s throat out.Even when her uncle tried to tackle her, it was still Rosa. But then Gaia tried to bind her. The Angel of Death took over and boy was it both terrifying yet beautiful to see.With her white flaming sword in her right hand and the ball of energy in her left. I stood there in shock. She is truly breathtaking, but right now, she is the most powerful being on the planet.When she collapsed and hit her head. Asteria sprung into action and had her moved to the enchanted cells. There is enough sedative running through her to kill a rogue dragon. The s
Rosa POV.“I love you Rosa.” I hear the voice and I know who it is. Charlie!“Charlie, please, I’m here. Don’t leave me. I need you and love you too. Please!” I scream in my head, but I can’t move. I can’t feel anything. Not Cece, not Jadara, nothing.It is like I’m floating in the darkness. I try to move to show him I can hear him. But everything feels heavy. Wait, I try to move, but I’m restrained. Damn them!“Charlie, please. I’m here. I can hear you. Don’t leave, don’t go. CHARLIE!” I scream again as I thrash, but I’m exhausted. I sob as I lay still, looking into the dark.More voices, voices I can barely recognise. My pops and queen Asteria.“They will kill her for what she has done.” I shake my head. No, what I did? What did I do? I know I killed Paige and David. But they have to understand I did what was right. But we were being threatened. King Aberdone. He triggered me. He triggered her.“We won’t let that happen, Fen. There is more to this than meets the eye. Rosa is too pow
Rosa POV.Wait, Rosalie! What the fuck is going on?“From the look on your face, you haven’t read the blank black book yet. Well, I will save you the trouble. It is nice to finally meet you Rosa.” She says with a chuckle and I just blink, staring at her with my mouth open like a damn dead fish.“Rosalie? Rosalie? My great grandmother. That Rosalie?” I ask and she nods her head, giggling.“Yes, the very same. I am sorry this is happening to you, my child. There are powers in this universe that even I don’t understand. But this right here is a gift. It took a lot of power to bring you to me. So I won’t waste our precious time together.” She says, giving my hand a squeeze.“What am I?” I ask her and she smiles before she looks out over the stream.“You are a very powerful being. Your birth parents were alphas. Your father was my great grandson. He had similar gifts to you. He and your mother lived in peace. However, my line has been executed for my sins. The fae king at the time was ruth
Rosa POV.I look around the prison and see the prisoners and smile at them. They all bow their heads as I’m led out in obsidian chains.“Rosa, we have a plan.” I look at my pops and shake my head.“No, I will deal with this, pops. Don’t be doing anything that will get you in trouble.” I say to him and he sighs as we are flanked by guards. I pass the glass cells and look at the dragon, who is smirking at me when I stop and turn to face him.“What is your name?” I ask him, and he steps forward, and he is big, huge even. Asteria hisses, but I ignore her.“Casta.” I nod my head at him.“Very well Casta. It is nice to meet you. We will meet again.” I say to him and he nods his head at me with a smirk as he steps back. He turns and walks to his bunk and sits down, his fists clenched. His black hair tied at the back of his head. Golden scales ripple under his skin. His orange eyes like fire look at me.“Come on.” My pops says, and I look ahead and continue walking.“What was that?” he asks m
Charlie POV.What the fuck was that? I think as I watch the golden dragon carry her further away from me. This is not fucking happening.“Someone, find where they are going.” Aberdone screams when I turn to look at him and stalk him. My fists clenched when I rear back and punch him in the face, and he staggers before falling to his ass in a pile of rubble.“You will do nothing. You go after her. I will kill you.” I let my siren side shine through and he scoffs, spitting blood at the ground.“You and what army boy? I will destroy you all for this,” He says when Fen walks up and grips him.“You declaring war Aberdone? That isn’t very wise.” He says when Gaia chuckles as she moves forward. I step back as she looks at him.“You tried to kill my daughter. You tried to attack my brother’s pack? Well, that is an act of war. Be ready for it, Aberdone. Right now, you are at war.” She shoves him away before she turns and opens a portal and walks through. We all look at him before we follow behi
Rosa POV.“Wake up, little angel. We are here.” I hear the gruff voice of Casta as I open my eyes and look around. The clouds part as I see the mountains on an island. The Waning mountains.“How long have I been asleep?” I ask him as I rub my eyes and stretch. He chuckles.“Not long little angel, but we are here now,” he says and I grab his little spiky horns and lean forward again as he flies down and my stomach flips and I squeal as we fly over the mountains.I’m in awe. The ground is so green and lush, palm trees, and animals run in herds. Cece perks up in my head. For the first time since I climbed on his back, she has calmed down. She was freaking out, screaming like a little girl while Jadara was laughing and cheering.“Well, at least we will have food wherever this place is,” Cece whines in my head and I roll my eyes as Casta circles looking for somewhere to land. I point to a clearing and he moves towards it. Pulling up as he hovers in the air as his huge paws touch down. I wo
Charlie POV.I dive into the salt water and shift quickly. I swim at speed towards the Waning mountains. It won’t take long to get to the island because I know where I am going. If you don’t know where you are going or are not in need, the island is impossible to find.“Charlie, keep her safe and tell her we are not mad at her for anything. Also, please apologise to her for my attack. I needed to make it believable.” Queen Asteria’s voice is in my head.“I will, my queen. Thank you. Keep me informed on any developments. I will find her and keep her safe.” I reply to her as I swim under shoals of fish.“Go, be safe, my boy. Tell her we are all awaiting her return and we are preparing the armies.” She says and I reply with I will and shut the link down.The fastest way to the island is through the singing stream. This stream is an underwater current like the EAC East Australian Current. But this has currents that run off it like a highway. If I don’t take it, it will take days and miles
