Hope you enjoy this slightly comical chapter through Zerena's P.O.V.
Andy's P.O.V. It's happening! I was greeted by the most spectacular sight this morning when I checked on the sun snake. The black marble was shining up at me beside the snake. I was quick to grab it and run screaming towards Ares. "It's happening!" I yelled as I ran with the marble held over my head towards the Watts siblings outside the shadow building.All three of them turned to face me like I was insane. Well, all of them but my Ares, who smiled widely at me like I was the sun itself. I was out of breath as I finally reached them. "It's done!" I smiled at them all holding the black marble out on the palm of my hand. Ares seemed ready to cry as his eyes pinked and shimmered. Auggie smiled along with Jesse, looking at Ares relieved. Ares grabbed the ball out of my hand like it was the most precious thing in the world. He squeezed the marble, breaking it in his palm. Black liquid leaked back out and with the help of Augie's shadow they fused Horatio back with Ares. The way Ares s
Ares’ P.O.V. Andy and I have spent all of October and most of November practicing and training. The curse is more potent than it has been before, but I am able to direct the worst of it outside of me, and onto inanimate objects. I caused a tree to just burst into flames, a patch on the ground to turn into a sinkhole. Then there was the time I made a whiteboard melt off the wall. It was all random, and strange as hell, but it was my festering bad luck. I will use this against her, and see how she likes what she’s done to me. Nova’s birthday came and passed with a small celebration of us all. She and Auggie started dating, but they haven’t slept with one another yet. They are taking things slow, despite her and Manny’s ever growing romance. The two of them have become the talk of the sirens. It seems Manny and Ember are the power couple of the sirens and sea witches. A lot of people have tried to join their coven, but Manny has turned every last one of them away. He told me it is beca
Jesse’s P.O.V.Today is Liam’s birthday, and I swear my heart is about to explode and my stomach is about to eat itself whole. I am unbelievably nervous and scared right now. I have yet to see him, as his dad called him home, to see if his mate was amongst the pack. I am beyond frightened that he will come back with a girl around his arms. I am scared that he will tell me that we have to stop our relationship because I am not his mate after all. “Come to my room, Jess. I am back now.” I got his shadow message, immediately jumping out of my bed and traveling to his dorm. My heart was thundering against my chest, like I had just run a marathon. I looked into his eyes, trying to figure out what he was about to say. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes for a moment. I clenched my fists, just waiting for the rejection.“Mine,” I heard King through Liam. My breathing became erratic as I heard the word I desperately hoped to hear. I am his.“I told you that you were my mate, Jess. You’
Nova's P.O.V. Today's the day. I've decided that Augustus has waited long enough for me. He's been patient and kind. He hasn't been jealous of Manny or even been mean to him. I've noticed the change in him, the maturity that seemed to finally reach him. He's grown and mended so much this semester. There's no denying that the current August Barlowe is not the same one that unknowingly hurt me earlier in the year. I had an extra pep in my step as I made my way to his dorm. I couldn't help the smile that kept creeping onto my face. He didn't know I was coming, didn't know I was ready. I wanted to surprise him, to give him this special moment. Today we'll see if I'm right about him being my destined one or not. I sported a wide smile as I stretched my arm out to knock on his door. "Faster! Fuck me like you mean it." My heart stopped and my feet planted firmly in the ground. I send unable to move as my heightened hearing continued to listen to the nightmare that played behind this d
Augustus' P.O.V.Cassie had come for me, when I wasn't expecting it, with a vengeance. She was pissed the fuck off when I used that sun essence potion the second time she fed on me. She sucked on my neck till I was woozy, and then she whispered some foreign language in my ear, and the next thing I knew we were fucking like rabbits. I can't remember much of it at all. It was like I was trapped in some spell, and my only focus was her. Only it wasn't her, it was Nova, or at least I thought it was Nova, until the real Nova showed up and yelled at me. That's when whatever spell Cassie had me under seemed to break. I hurt Nova so much. I wanted to kill that vampire bitch. I couldn't believe she did that shit to me. She's petty beyond belief. She's vicious and cruel and a goddamn pesky mosquito that I just want to squish with my hands. Nova hasn't spoken to me all week. She's avoided me at every turn, and any time I do see her, she pretends I don't exist. She hasn't even spared me a glance
Ares' P.O.V. I told him not to go after Cassie just yet. Did he listen? No. Does he ever? Not really. I got the vision part way through training, making me stop to go save him. I know this isn't going to end too well, but here we are. More like here I am standing in Cassie's room now, watching Auggie about to touch her naked form. I wrapped a shadow around his wrist, pulling him back before he could. She seemed to notice me at that same instance, turning to me with a hiss. I took a step to the left as she raced towards me. I continued to avoid her charges until she finally stopped and glared at me. "You're so infuriating," she snapped. "You're so delusional," I retorted. I know that we aren’t the only ones here. Cal was knelt on the bed fully naked as well. He glared at me, as I knew he would. This is why I told Auggie not to come yet. Now I'll be forced to fight them both alone, while he works off the effects of Cassie's glamor. "Knowing my worth does not make me delusional
Andy’s P.O.V. “Stop, don’t even bother.” Nova shook her head at me with her finger raised before I could even say anything. “Rude,” I pouted, but she knew I was coming to talk to her about Auggie. “I don’t want to hear his sorry excuse. Stop trying to tell me. There’s nothing you could say that would make it okay.” Oh Nova, if you only knew. I know once she stops being so stubborn and listens; she is going to feel very guilty. It will eat her and she will apologize profusely to Auggie. What to him is not okay. What happened to Ares is not okay. The boor Watts boys have been through so much…shit. Sorry for the language. “I was just going to ask you if you wanted to go for a walk today and look at the stars with Arie and I. We are going to see if Percy has anymore advice for us.” “Oh,” she said, biting her cheek. She felt guilty for cutting me off, but she was right, too. This is just a trap to get her to listen to what Arie has to say. “I am sorry, Andy. Yes, of course, I wil
Nova’s P.O.V.“Thanks for coming, Nova,” Ares greeted me with his hand extended.I looked at Andy, as if to ask for permission. She just nodded her head with a big smile. I took his hand a bit wearily, unsure if it was really okay for me to do so. Suddenly, I was pulled into a vision, and I realized how stupid I was. This was a setup, and now here I am being dragged into a vision to watch this whole thing play out again. “I’m here for my last feeding, and I plan to get more than my fill. You shouldn’t have used that stupid potion last time.” Cassie seethed at him as she lunged forward. Auggie did nothing to stop it, as he wasn’t supposed to according to their blood pact, he could not deny her the feed he promised. She sucked at him, moaning as she fed to the point he was paling. When she pulled away, finally releasing her fangs from his skin, she chanted something incomprehensible. Auggie stiffened before her with a glazed look in his eyes. What happened to him?“I am ready for you
