Asteria POV.That sneaky, sly little whore. I storm through the hotel and many sirens look up and follow behind me as I head towards the beach.The morning sun warms as it rises. Its glow makes the surface of the water a golden orange colour as I move closer to the shoreline.“Fan out and find her.” I say when sirens enter the water and disappear under the waves. My mother and brother run towards me on the beach.“What’s happened?” she asks me and I feel bad for not spending a lot of time with them since being here, but I wasn’t expecting to find them alive.“Sephone. She was in Carter’s head. Which means.”“She is here somewhere.” My brother finishes my sentence, and he hisses as he removes his shirt and enters the water.“Asteria, let them do their job. If she is or has been in the area, they will know. Come.” My mother takes my hand and I stop and look around for Carter, but I don’t see him. Where is he?“Mamma, can it wait? I need to find Carter. He was right behind me.” I say to

Asteria POV.Sitting in the hotel suite, I am watching him. I know she is in his head. But this is not the song that all sirens use. This isn’t compulsion, this is something else.“How long would it take for a siren to swim here?” I ask as I watch Carter as he stares off into space. I know she is calling to him, but the question is why and for what purpose?“Not long, maybe a couple of days, give or take.” I nod at her words. We have been here over a week now so it is possible, but why do this to Carter? Well, of course it is to get to me, but how did she do this with the song?I sit lost in thought, trying to think of how. I stand and walk to the balcony, leaning against it, looking at the Aegean.“Unless.” I mutter as I turn and look at Carter, whose eyes now look clear again and not foggy or glassy.“Asteria?” I smile as I walk to him, but still being cautious. Could she be using Carter to kill me? Wouldn’t that just be a cliché? Using my mate to kill me.“Carter. What do you remem

Asteria POV.The flight back is different from the one on the way here. He is sitting nowhere near me. He won’t even look at me or even speak to me. He is flirting with the flight attendant, but I ignore it, as I know this isn’t him.He stands and walks past me, heading towards the bedroom, and I grab his wrist.“Where are you going?” I ask him when he looks down at me. His gaze makes me wince. There is no love in his eyes, only disgust.“Away from you.” I hold his gaze and feel like I’ve been burnt from the look in his eyes and I gasp, not at his words but the way he is looking at me.“What have I done to you?” I ask when he scoffs and walks away. I lean back and look out of the window. This isn’t him.“Can I get you something to drink, miss?” I look at her and nod my head.“A bottle of water please and do me a favour and stay the fuck away from him or you and I will have a problem. I wonder if you know how to fly.” I grin at her and she steps back before she turns and walks quickly

Asteria POV.It has been a few weeks since we arrived back and each day Carter is slipping and no matter what I do; he pushes me further away.I have gone to sleep on my own but have woken in his arms, but I know it’s Lykos and not him.Jerome has been here every day, and they have argued, and Carter has told him to leave and never come back. I have explained to Jerome what is happening with Carter and he has told me that he will be there for us both, even if Carter completely gives in to Sephone and her song.I have been able to find out what song it is she has used. Artemis came and told me that my suspicions were right. That the song Sephone is using is a new song. It is a combination of the song we used to calm and the song to lure. But she has added compulsion to it. To say I’m fucking angry is an understatement. Only the queen can use compulsion, and she isn’t the queen because I still live.Everyday Carter becomes more distant and I find him standing by the water looking out ov

Asteria POV.“We are sorry for not coming to you sooner. We always knew you were out there. When Poseidon brought us back the day he turned you, we told him not to say anything to you. I wish we hadn’t, then you would have been with us sooner. But if we did, you wouldn’t have become the queen you were meant to be. The world will bow to you,” he says, and I can’t help but think how things would have been different.“The impulse would have been the same. The need for revenge. I held it for so long. I watched you all die, papa. I was ready to join you all. The day he came to me, I was waiting for death. Then he gave me the choice. I chose. I don’t regret it. But the lust and the need for the death of the humans consumed me and it got out of hand. As you can see.” I say with a chuckle as I wave my hands in a dramatic flourish over myself. He chuckles before he kisses my head.“You did what you needed to do. You fought for what you thought was right. It is in your nature. Don’t lose that p

Carter POV.Waking in the morning, I was alone. I sit up and rub my head. What the fuck happened last night?“Lykos, Lykos, are you there?” I ask as my head splits with pain.“You motherfucker. Do you know what you have done?” He roars at me and I clutch my head. What is he on about?“What do you mean? I haven’t done anything.” I say to him when he roars in my head before he whines and whimpers.“You fucked Bethany and Sephone. You blocked me out. You bastard, you have destroyed her. You have destroyed my MATE!” My eyes widen as I climb out of bed and see I’m naked and I find the odd piece of clothing that doesn’t belong to Asteria. No, I didn’t. I wouldn’t. It was Asteria I was having sex with. It was her face and body I was seeing.I stagger out of the bedroom, one hand clutching my head, the other the doorframe as I open her bedroom door and it’s empty. The bed is still made. Her scent is no longer in the room.“I wouldn’t do that, Lykos. It was her I was seeing.” I say my brain fe

Asteria POV.Watching as Carter walks away from the settlement. I have a pain in my chest at how he looks so dejected.Fenrir placed an illusion around the settlement. Similar to the one in Hell. He could walk right past me and wouldn’t see, feel, or smell me. My father places his hand on my shoulder as I watch Carter disappear into the forest.I turn and face my father, who smiles softly down at me.“It will be ok, you love him. The pain you feel now. Will lessen over time. He doesn’t deserve you, Asteria.” I can’t help but feel that what he is saying is wrong. I know he was under the influence of the song. But I don’t think I can move past this. Can I forgive him when it wasn’t him?“Thank you for being there, father. I’m sorry for everything I have said to you and done. But right now, we need to prepare. She has shown her hand and has used her greatest weapon against me. She will believe that I have ran. She will believe she has won. But she has won nothing but my rage. She will kn

Asteria POV.The shriek of sirens wakes me. I climb out of bed and move through the cabin and see the sirens and wolves getting into formation.“They are here.” I turn and grab my clothes and get changed quickly as I head back out, throwing my hair into a bun. I grab a spear from one of the wolves, passing out weapons. I move through the formation to stand at the front.I turn and face them all.“Today will go down in history. The fight for Moonlight Cove. The fight for humanity against the usurper Sephone. The siren I once called my sister. May the gods bless us with victory and allow us to send them to hell. For Moonlight Cove.” I raise my spear and howls and shrieks echo around me as I turn and twirl the spear above my head before I slam it down into the ground.“MOVE OUT!” I scream as I grab it up and walk forward towards the treeline. The vibration of feet travels through the earth as I look up as a storm begins to form and I smirk.“Father!” I say as we move further down towards
