All Chapters of Soulless Seas: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Asteria POV.Walking through the headquarters of the Supernatural Council, I head to the prison under the building. This place would usually hold the most dangerous of shifter criminals. I should have been here, but the Supernatural Council never caught me.I walk with confidence as I unlock the door using my retina scan and hand print. The door unlocks and I walk inside.The glass cells line both sides of the room. The room is white, clean and sterile. These cells are strong enough to hold a dragon. So two weak humans won’t be able to break free. Each cell is enchanted with magic and the glass is unbreakable. The only way in or out is if a member of the Supernatural Council opens them. Each cell has hidden cameras. Plus the cameras in the hallway. This place has been dubbed the Eerie. Completely impregnable.I walk past cell after cell and stop as I look to the right and see Maria, then to the left and see the soldier in the one opposite hers. However, Maria is next to a rogue werewo

Carter POV.I can hear and feel the pain Asteria is in as she talks about what has happened to the sirens over the years. It is heartbreaking that all this started because she helped the humans, but they were greedy and wanted more.She looks at me and I move towards her and pull her into a kiss, cradling her head to my chest as she sobs. Asteria holds the weight of the world on her shoulders and is filled with guilt for what has happened, not just to the sirens, but to the humans.“You did what you thought was right. You saved your people, and you have been at war for a long time. There will always be casualties in war. You can’t blame yourself for all of it. The massacre wasn’t your fault. That was on Sephone.” I say to her and she pulls away and looks up at me.“But Shanti’s death is on me and every siren that has died is on me. Even the sirens that were massacred. I am the queen. It falls on my shoulders. Going to war with the humans has done nothing but cause more death and more

Asteria POV.It has been nearly a week since the truth was revealed to me and it has done nothing to ease the guilt I hold in my heart.The conference is tomorrow. But I don’t feel right about it. Something is off. I can’t put my finger on it.I have been staying with Carter in my room and it is like I never left and we never had all that drama. It has been nice. I have stayed hidden because the military is looking for me because I never reported back to them after we took Maria and Garett.But from what I have watched on the TV, the military has been called to the conference as well. They are wanting to discuss the attacks and how the shifters are a threat. Which is my doing.Carter has been working speaking to important people. People I don’t know and I won’t concern myself with them. This conference is happening this year in this country, so with the help of Fenrir and Gaia, we will portal there with the prisoners and all the evidence of the laws they have broken. My father, Hades,

Asteria POV.The moment has arrived. We are transporting the prisoners to the conference and we need to do this and fast as my skin begins drying again. I don’t have long. 48 hours, my ass.The prisoners are led out in cuffs that can’t be broken unless with the blood of the one who has placed them on. Which is Gaia. We walk through the Supernatural Council headquarters and out into the lobby.Wolves form a circle around us as Fenrir opens the portal. I take a few breaths as Carter takes my hand and gives it a squeeze.“It will be ok. As soon as it is over, we get out of there. I won’t ask why you think your mating will be a bloodbath, but I would like to know when this is over.” He says, and I nod my head. Turning my attention to the portal. I look at Artemis, who nods her head at me before she walks through with some of the wolves first.I take a deep breath as I step forward, flanked by Carter, Fenrir, and Gaia. The prisoners are led by the wolves.Once we step through, we are insid

Asteria POV.“Don’t worry, you are safe here. Do you need anything?” I look around and I’m lost for words. This place is bigger than the mansion on the beach.There is so much natural light flooding in, it is beautiful. There are natural wood and stone elements and it feels warm compared to the beach mansion, which feels cold.“Let me show you around.” I follow behind him as he shows me the living room, which is the same size as the lower level of the beach mansion. There is a bar and a TV on the wall above an open fireplace. The floor is wooden and the coffee table is stone and glass. There are giant paintings on the wall and cream coloured leather sofas in a U shape in front of the fireplace.The kitchen is all white marble and tile; the appliances are stainless steel; it is beautiful. The window looks out onto the back garden and swimming pool.The rest of the house has the same theme running through it. He shows me upstairs and there are seven bedrooms which all have their own bat
