Saber's POV"Destroys the foundation? What an exaggeration," the pale white woman rolled her eyes at his words."The line you are attempting to cross with your pursuit of Ms. Blackheart is enough to nullify the entire collective agreement of the Constellation's Alliance. Do you honestly claim to not remember the terms? Each royal faction agreed to live as one as long as they retained their own power over their kind with no power above them."Whispers amongst the others erupted at the implications. Clearly, Saber needed to learn a lot."You should mind your tone when you speak to me, dragon." Her icy gray eyes bore into Cadmus's crimson orbs but his low threatening growl silenced the room."Before you are two choices, witch. Either drop the one singular charge of escaping lawful detainment, or end your alliance with the fae. The latter inevitably causes war amongst every intelligent species in the human realm. Your choice."His sister's face had grown almost as pale as the woman threat

18 years ago. Sprintingthrough the corridor, Saoirse dove into a hidden doorway as Cassius rushed past in the passage up ahead.

Now.Genevieve's POV:Awoken by the sound of her alarm clock blaring AC/DC's Highway to Hell, she groaned, pushing her long red hair out of her face."Yep, that's what I'm on," she hissed, slamming the snooze button. The soft tap on her door told her itwastrue. The day shehadbeen dreading finally arrived. Today, November 12th is Genevieve Blackwood's eighteenth birthday and she is the only person in her life unhappy about that."Good morning, birthday girl," her mom's overly cheery morning voice rang in her ears as she entered the room. "What are you going to do now you are legal?""Sleep," she said as she threw the blankets back over her head. "Forever.""No, no," her mom laughed, walking back to the door. "Going to get up and ready for school, then come downstairs.""Wait, what did you say? What am I going to do," she asked sarcastically. "Get up, jump out of the attic window, and die?""A tad bit over

Saber’s POV Life stopped being fair a long time ago. Didn't want to leave, and he didn't want to move to New York. Saber Collins liked his life the way things they were. At 18 years old, why did they need him to move with his family as if he were still dependent on them to survive? Worked almost a full-time job. Plenty of his friends' parents would let him crash with them. Probably find a place of his own. Plus, he despised change. Especially the kind that changes everything at once. "We love you, which is why we're doing this" his mother, Eleanor Collins, sympathized next to him in the seat across from him. Saber ignored her, rolling his eyes, continuing his staring contest with the clouds outside of the private jet. Another one of his father's luxuries he doesn't care about. Although he stared at the clouds, he didn't pay them any attention. The only thing he cared to look at was Sara's face. Came to say goodbye to him at the airport when they departed, but

Genevieve's POV: "Can you try to enjoy today?" Putting the car in park once they pulled into the school parking lot. "Well, I'll try, but I can't make any promises." Offered up a fake smile she reached over and grabbed her stuff from the back seat, kissing Seth in the process. "Come on, love birds, we're jealous enough" Alyssa Rose, her best friend since middle school, screamed through the open door from the end of the parking lot. "Hi, Al," Seth shook his head as Genevieve climbed out of the car. " See you after, okay? Remember, I'm driving." Jokingly scrunched up her face and pointed at him through the window as she closed the door. "Promise, I won't forget," he always had the best smile. Sadly, watching as he drove away, she went to join her friends on the sidewalk. "Happy birthday," Alyssa said handing her a gift bag. "Hope you like, made by myself, obviously." With a sigh, she walked over to the pi

Alexander's POVAlexander Warner's eyes followed Saber as he walked down the hall toward the men's room. Glad he was here, although the boy would not like moving here.Not at first.Todaywas his eighteenth birthday, and he was soon going to travel down a long road. Would prefer him to figure things out sooner, rather than later, but Mr. Warner was not allowed to tell him.Not unless Saber asked him first.Eighteen years ago, he was told about the twins and to keep them secret. Also, anyone curious about them was to never find out the truth. Being revealed too early would put Saber and Genevieve in grave danger.The Sacred One told him what he had to do. Both must figure things out, and soon. The twins had no clue what was about to happen to them. Not allowed to tell them anything, except to be ready for yet another change. At this point, he was unsure if Saber would welcome this change. Although, he

Saber's POVMr. Warner's demeanor had completely changed in the few minutes he had been in the restroom. Eyes darting between the empty hallway and the text message he was quickly typing."Alright, the plan for today was to start the project presentations," groans came from several classmates as Saber found his way to his seat. "However, something important has been brought to my attention and needs to be taken care of. Consider this period a study hall."Cheering amongst the room almost covered up a knock at the door made by what appeared to be another teacher and a student. Whatever the student said made Mr. Warner appear more worried than he had started."Mrs. Garcia is going to be in here while I am gone," the two teachers whispered something before he turned back around and pointed at Davina. "Davina, Saber, I'm aware the two of you don't have any schoolwork to focus on yet. Grab your stuff and come with me, please."Giving Da

"Please excuse us, Susan," he said, looking back at the nurse."Yes, sir," she said, closing the door behind her."So, our young Mr. Saber has gone through the transition," Mr. Harvard commented in his long, deep, southern drawl. "I personally wanted Genevieve here to turn. A vampire king with a vampire daughter? Now that would be something different. All the children of any vampire king in history have always been a male, at least the ones who turned vampire were at least. Would be interesting to have a vampire princess. But considering her lineage, was obvious she would go her mother's way.""What do you mean?" Annoyed her principal was in on this charade."Your protectors here didn't tell you!?" he bellowed, eying their friends. "The four of you are supposed to be explaining all of this to them. No good to anyone kept in the dark.""Wouldn't need anything explained to them if they had been kept in the Alliance in the first place!" the leather cl

“Now, since we have two new members, including the accused, I am going to go over the procedure for this meeting,” an unfamiliar man announced as he stood in front of them all. Everyone sat around a crescent moon table as the man stood facing them. Behind him was a massive plain oak chair. “Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Cadmus of the Aracar Dragons and our kin serve as an authority of law and unbiased middlemen in these meetings.” Did he say dragons? Saber didn’t look as surprised when she glanced his way. The man did stand at least eight and a half feet tall. Dressed in a long black overcoat and pants. A pop of color appeared only in the crimson dress shirt that matched the color of his eyes. Thick chestnut locks cut just below his chin that he frequently pushed out of his eyes. “First, the ruling member of the wronged will state their order of arrest. This statement includes the laws the accused is suspected of breaking, a detailed account of the incident, and a

Genevieve’s POVThe King moved them quickly into the castle, refusing to give any further details out in the open. After stumbling several times, Saber rushed to her side in an attempt to keep her on her feet. Every racing heartbeat pounded in her head as the beautiful hall blurred in and out of focus. As her knees grew weak, the floor disappeared from underneath her and her head was now laying on her brother’s shoulder.Silently she begged for sleep to take her, only to force open the heavy lids. Fearing where she may wake up. If she would wake up. She felt it. Before the bright white light illuminated the room, a massive weight pushed down on her body. Saber did too as he struggled to hold her up.“You have no right to be here,” the full authority of the Vampire King’s voice echoed across the room as the light dissipated.“Clearly, you forget your place and who you are speaking to. She broke the law and attacked her own people. As per the law, she is to be taken into the custody of

Focusing on Alyssa, he caught the color fading from her face as her sight fixed just below his left shoulder. Glancing down he realized the heat was coming from his sister. Her normally green eyes glowed slightly red. Anger built up on her face as she stared down her childhood friend."I'm pretty sure he asked a question. Don't try to tell me men coming towards me with cuffs is somehow none of my business," Genevieve spat as the temperature surrounding the twins continued to rise."Everyone wants the situation to go as smoothly as possible is all." Oliver didn't take his eyes off Saber as he answered the question."Treating me like a criminal is not the way to accomplish your goals. What other lies are we going to have to deal with going further?""Nothing else. Our orders were to have you contained before bringing you to the Sacred One." Oliver was lying and she didn't need her powers to see through his blank face."Here is the problem. I no longer believe a word spoken from your mou

Gavril's POV"What the hell happened?" Gavril burst through the doors into the Sacred One's office in Draíocht Tower. The one room in the building attached to the balcony overlooking the courtyard."His death is still being investigated as it only just happened. I also do not answer to you, or have you forgotten?"The arrogance recently caused a lot of tension between the Sacred One and the rest of the Constellation. Everyone looked to her for guidance and leadership only to be met with overbearing criticism. Seeking help while being chastised for needing it. Only gotten worse since he took over the throne. Or maybe he was simply waking up to it."I haven't forgotten. However, my brother-in-law dying mere days after my daughter turned eighteen and refusing to be a part of our world may be something I need to know about.""When we have information to share, you will be informed. Now leave my office, I am clearly busy.""Try not looking so inconvenienced by the death of such a high-stand

Ambrose's POVAmbrose stepped into the small bathroom to make the call. A little unsure how the conversation would go once he got the message. The man may be their brother, but he has his own safety to worry about."What do you need, Ambrose?""I didn't expect you to pick up.""Well, you caught me at a good time.""Genevieve and Saber are looking for help outside of the Constellation. Something is going on and they aren't sure who to trust with whatever the information is. I told them I can ask you but not to get their hopes up.""You think I won't want to help my brother and sister?""More that you may not be safe doing so. The two of them have only been a part of this world since Friday. If they are already worried about their safety they wouldn't be the only ones in danger. I informed Gavril you are alive.""Figured you would tell someone eventually.""R

Saber's POVSaber was unsure of what he was walking into as Genevieve's watcher opened the door to her hospital room. A confused teenage boy sat across from Genevieve and her mother who were both visibly concerned."Sorry, am I interrupting something?" Her mother turned to him as he cautiously entered the room."Not until your father comes back with any answers. We don't exactly have an understanding of what's going on. This is Ambrose. Apparently, he may be able to make himself invisible.""Wait, doesn't he work for...?""Yes. He is also Gen's boyfriend. Things are a little complicated right now.""Oh, okay.'" Saber shrugged, not knowing what else to say.The entire situation was already awkward without the fact he didn't have any connection with anyone here. Standing awkwardly in the middle of the room with no idea how to approach the topic of why he came to visit.Hey, sorry y

Gavril's POVA Cosantóir?The four of them having these abilities means they weren't being protected, but protecting someone else. Or being trained to.They were all under twenty-five at the time, so they would still be learning.Which means their parents were protecting someone.The werewolves' domain was hidden in a corner from all the other factions in the Constellation. With such sensitive senses, they prefer to be as far away from everyone as possible. Spending all day tracking others takes a toll after a while.Most don't like coming here. The wolves don't exactly have a hierarchy or someone considered to be in charge. All decisions are made collectively. Meaning nobody can be bought or bribed into doing something against their code.The Sacred One had never liked the wolves. Called them inconsistent and unclean. In the years he had been fighting beside them he had learned the behavi

A nurse entering the room noisily broke her concentration from her boyfriend, pulling her attention towards the door. Glancing back to the chair, Ambrose was no longer sitting there or anywhere else in the room."How are we feeling in here today? Some alarms were going off a few minutes ago. Your mother said everything was fine, but we wanted to come in and check for ourselves.""Yeah, we had an argument." Her words trailed off as she checked around the room in search of the place he may have hidden so fast. Finding nothing."Are you alright? You look like you lost something.""My boyfriend was sitting here when you walked in, now he's disappeared.""You were the only one in the room when I opened the door.""What? No, he was sitting in the chair.""Nobody was in the chair when I walked in. Maybe I should go grab the doctor.""No, can you send my mom in on your way out?""Alright." The
