ALICE
Onyx righted himself just before his feathers touched the water and shot straight up into the air.
In the distance, a tiny blip of light among the clouds tipped me off and I began to run for the edge of the nearest cliff.
Onyx was going to start sectioning off the land now that he knew I wasn't in the sky, and from where the blip was, I'd be in the perfect position to catch myself a Phoenix before he turned to light a portion of the forest on fire in an effort to draw me out.
My heart was beating wildly at the thought of catching Nixon, and I would… as long as he stayed on course. If not, hopefully, there was water and not rocks below, but Amara was ready to shift if need be.

ALICE {Sebastians gone.} My eyes shot open as Amara's word's made my stomach drop and a painful kind of heaviness settled in my chest. I was wrapped in huge arms, my face pressed up against the warmth of Rian's chest... but it all felt wrong. Sebastian's scent lingered, but it wasn’t as strong as when he was here with us, and even when I tried to push the limits of my hearing, I couldn't hear him. Amara was right, but when was she ever wrong? I didn't want to believe it, but as I scrambled out of bed I was beginning to kick myself for not acting sooner. I wasted time. I let Amara come closer to the surface so that we coul

ALICE "... Together,” I answered Linden knowing full well what that was code for and started to sit up in the bed. There was no avoiding what he was going to tell me next. Rian was going to find out, and with any luck, he’d see my side of it more now that Sebastian was gone and something needed to be done about that. The idea of being able to see Sebastian was motivating me to start moving, even though I wasn’t sure where this was going or what kind of state we would find him in. “Terran found the Princess, but not soon enough… Jasper already has her.” “And where is Terran?” “Here,” Linden sighed, “Nixon brought him back before he could do anything too stupid. I’m not about to be the one to tell Marie that she’s mateless.” “Did he se-” “If he did, I would have already known that Ian wasn’t with you and sent Nixon to check on you.” Nixon. Linden never came to check on me, and while Nixon was erratic and impulsive, part of it was always Linden’s fault. Growing up, he’d purpos

ALICE There were two sets of red eyes present, but only one was smooth as velvet and the perfect shade of crimson that made you both murderous and submissive. I was carefully hidden upwind, far enough that it would take quite a lot of effort to find me crouched down through the thickness of the forest, but I had a perfect view of my mate... and he didn't look under duress. His handsome features stood out among the few men present but Amara was blocking out his scent, even she was aware of what needed to be done. Jasper threatened her future pups, he threatened our triplets, he threatened our pack… all the reasons she was on my side while having such faith in the mate bond that she believed somehow we would make it out of this still intact. I wonder how it felt to betr

ALICE Jasper looked over at where Linden was barely coming out on top even with Terran’s help, “That one is dead,” he looked back towards Nixon and he leaned in towards me and whispered, “but I think I’m going to keep that one as a pet.” Sebastian’s fingers were digging into me as I practically vibrated with anger in his arms. Amara’s walls were back up, so whatever he had to say, he could fucking save it. Linden was NOT dying again, no, I’d die before that happened or before I ever let anyone take my pretty bird as a pet. Fuck this. “I’m going to drag your death out,” I grit out through where Sebastian was trying to squish my mouth so I couldn’t speak. “It’s me who’s going to have all the fun,” Jasper attempted to smile but it looked so unnatural that I couldn’

ALICE Jasper looked to Sebastian behind me, but his cruel red hues narrowed like he didn’t find what they were looking for. His anger turned to surprise and a slow ember type of light started to shine through his veins, turning the skin above, and then around them, to ash as he fell to his knees. My blood, and anywhere it touched, was burning him alive. The few screams of agony that he let out were like ecstasy wrapped in more ecstasy, drawing the attention of the very bloodied and probably broken prince’s. Linden’s eyes started to bulge not because of what was happening with Jasper, but because of the water that was filling his lungs. Panic filled me as my body tried to leap into action but Sebastian’s hold hadn’t let go of me yet and his voice boomed out

ALICE My chest began to heave up and down as I stared at Sebastian, the pain of him leaving me in the middle of the night flooding back to me. “Why didn’t you come back to get us so that we could have done this together? You let me think you left me? That you’d betray me?” Sebastian’s eyebrows scrunched together, his jaw flexing with tension, “I had to get us close enough with minimal risk, I was working on a way to get you here alone-” “Nixon is dead,” I interrupted him, cocking my head as I took a step towards him, “Terran could have died… Linden could have died… again!”

LINDEN Terran confirmed his support of the two coupling and offered to help build Nixon a nest, but it had to be me and Alice, no one else ever has, or ever should, although we did allow him to construct a platform the nest would go on top of for us to be able to carry it easier. Once Ayana was let go, she left with Cato and Terran to solidify the truce with the other Fae bloodline holder, Baylin. Alice's mates were getting increasingly handsy, but her attention was solely on Nixon. She always had the natural ability to manage people without them feeling managed, Goddess knows she's managed us our whole lives, and she knew what her mates needed in order for her attention to be elsewhere soon. As I started to collect the bigger logs Alice began weaving some smaller bra

LINDEN Later that day, after a well-deserved nap, I came back out to check on Nixon but found Alice’s mates sitting in front of his fire with her. She was sitting backwards on Rian’s lap as he sat cross-legged on the ground and sideways to the fire. Her cheek was resting on his shoulder and her face pointed in the direction of the fire, although it didn't surprise me that she would be keeping an eye on Nixon. What did surprise me was when I rounded her and her eyes were closed. Was little volcano finally sleeping? She hardly ever slept when Nixon rebirthed, only admitting defeat after several days if his episodes lasted long enough. Al was always afraid that she would miss something, that he would wake without her and she wanted us to be the first thing he saw when he did.
