SAMERIDead eyes reflected back at her from the mirror. Years of loss portrayed on her lifeless face. Her once youthful features replaced with resentment, loss and revenge. Never did she fathom her life would end up this way. The loss of her children, years of searching, subjects she had to torture or kill to find answers.Hope was all she held onto, even though that was a dull shimmer now. Sameri knew her children would be immortal, so she clung to that fact for dear life. Knowing one day if she did find them, the time they lost could be salvaged. Sameri was thankful to the high priest taking her virtue only because he gave her long lived children. Her being grateful for him left a sour taste in her mouth. He caused her nothing but pain her entire life by taking the only two people that meant the most to her.A smile formed on her lips. Remembering how she finally caught him and took his life. His traitorous head still sits on the spiked wall for everyone to see. Sadness crept back i

JAELAAwoken by Mia’s loud cackling, I rose from the comfortable bed with a loud yawn. My sweet dreams wanted me to stay and reminisce on the intimate time Tristan and I had. It felt so good being with him last night, but my mind knows it cannot be wrapped up in the wrong thoughts of it. I’d love to make it work with us; however, we know that would never happen. Ayana purrs thinking about our mate, or ex mate. She longs for him in the best and worse ways. “Maya is being a prude right now; she won’t give X any” Mia yells through the door. “Shut up Mia, everyone isn’t a slut like you” Maya retorted.Teenagers, they are such teenagers, I said to myself. Opening my room door, swinging it open frowning at my sisters. “What the hell are you two arguing about, honestly I’m just trying to sleep” I yelled at them both.“Girl please we know what you were in there doing. Thinking about Tristan punk ass” Mia said as Xavier growled lowly at her. Her eyes snapped in his direction “What? Did I say s

JAELA I stood abruptly, putting distance between us startling him at my sudden movement. Pacing back in forth in front of him like a madwoman. Mumbling to myself. I didn’t know how close he was until his hands landed on my shoulders. shrugging off his touch, taking a step back. Rejection surged in my chest; his once happy face marred with hurt. “Jaela, I’m the one who received a mark here, why are you acting as if the shoe was on the other foot.” I stopped in my tracks and glared at him. “So much for it not being my fault right, clearly you do blame me” I spat at him. “Omg Jae, nobody is blaming you, but you’re treating me like I’m the one who marked you. I don’t care that it happened, it was always going to be you anyway Jaela. Now stop it and come here” he beckoned me, opening his arms. His tone leaves no room for argument. Like a child I wrapped my arms around myself tightly. Being scolded by Tristen was not on my list of things to do today. Am I overreacting though? we both kn

TRISTENThe wind picked up, blowing around us. Sky lifted his nose inhaling the air around us. His eyes closed. his features serene. Skylar opened his eyes and regarded Mia with affection. “Mate” he proclaimed softly; his eyes lost their light at the realization.I clapped him on the back reassuringly. ‘We will figure it out Sky. “What is the odds of you and Xavier both mating with Jaela’s sisters’ I said through our link, I laughed out loud. Surely it isn’t funny but the irony in it all.‘You think she figured it out yet?’ he asked.‘The way she’s eye raping you, I’d say yes. Congrats brother! If they were allowed to leave mystic moon more often you could have been together way before now’Terrance is a real prick! I’ve seen over the years how he treated the twins, as if they never mattered to him. Jaela has always been his little project, while he left the twins basically fatherless. I could never treat any of my children that way, whether they were mothered by an omega or not.Stat

TRISTENPondering over the melody in my head, wanting some sort of recollection of where? When? I’d heard it. My mind drew blanks each time. I’d been in thought for so long, I didn’t notice that they both were looking to me with concern.“What was that you hummed” I asked Tayen, I needed to know.“It was a melody my mother used to sing to me and my brothers. When Jaela was first born, I used to sing it to her to quiet her crying. Worked every-time” she beamed at Jaela. A corner of Jaela’s mouth turned up into a slight smile.“What’s wrong babe?” Jaela rubbed my arm soothinglyI beamed at her. “Babe huh?”She punched my arm “shut up” she giggled “Seriously what’s on your mind” she asked, threading her fingers through mine.“That melody, I’ve heard it before. For the life of me I cannot remember where I heard it. Was there words to the tune?” I directed the question to her mother.They both looked at me funny “babe you were singing it.”“What?” I whispered.“You were singing it; I was s
