Alpha Alexis POVThe seer took out candles, herbs, and all the other accoutrements necessary to create a circle, before seating herself on her mat. She lit them with the match in one of her many vials and began chanting, eyes closed and voice calm. Her chant was ancient in origin and spoke about a time when it had been possible to create life.I stood by the side watching as soon she switched and began to chant in an unfamiliar language. A second later I looked up at the moon and stars as they shimmered into existence, like someone had flipped a switch and now there were hundreds of different colored balls, floating around in the night sky. It reminded me of the pictures my mother used to have when I was little.The room glowed and the wind blew against my skin. The seer’s chanting became louder and more rapid but still, I just watched.The night grew colder and I wrapped my arms around myself. She kept chanting in this strange tongue and I felt cold. After some time the breeze died d

Alpha Alexis’ POVWhen Aurora rolled over to me to snuggle in her sleep, I created room for her while my hand found its way to her back and pressed a kiss against her skin where the tiniest of freckles would be. My hand then slid down to her waist, gently squeezing it as she sighed contently at my touch. I smiled, looking fondly at the sleeping girl before reaching for the covers that covered us. Once they were draped around the pair of us, my hand continued to move down lower until it was now resting on Aurora’s thigh. My thumb rubbed soothing circles against her thigh, hoping to help ease the restlessness inside of her so that we could both rest easier. After a moment though, she shifted slightly, moving closer toward my chest even in sleep. I chuckled and wrapped an arm around her tightly, letting her body weight press against mine and allowing myself to relax in her presence. My fingers began tracing patterns across her bare skin but the memory of how close she had been with Dan

Unknown POVI laughed at how my chaotic plans were coming together with the speed of light. The universe was going to fall in love with me, I was sure of it. It would all be so much easier if everyone else felt the same way, but unfortunately for those people, my plan was perfect and I was always right. No one liked smarty pants.But all that will change soon enough, when I’ll be in charge.“Father, I am tired please” My daughter whined.I looked at how hard it was to make her fidget under my stare . “You are not done yet” I told her. “One more thing is missing,” I continued as she tried to wriggle free from the restraints on the chair. My little devil could have a lot of energy. She always knew what to say or do to make me happy. She was just like me, an excellent actress and good friend.Yet she was growing out of control. I had made her practise a spell for five days now before sending her out to get us breakfast. When I was finally satisfied with her casting, I sent her off to wo

Aurora’s POVThe beach was crowded. I had forced Alexis to let me go. It was a short moment to get away from my problems, but it felt like an eternity of waiting and watching for someone to come along and rescue me from the ocean as if I were some sort of lost, injured bird that had somehow ended up in front of his door and he could only save me by taking care of it. After what seemed like forever, we were pushing through the crowds trying to go back home in order to get there before dark and get ready for dinner. Something strange happened, something very strange.My eyes had collided with an old woman. She froze, staring at me without blinking even once. She stood on the edge of the shore and looked at me like an owl. Her expression was one of absolute shock and horror, almost as if she couldn't understand how she was seeing me standing there like an apparition. It would have been comical in any other situation but when I realized that it was a real person, that they could se

Luna’s POV (Flashback)“We will be having a few guests, get everything in order” Aunt Portia’s velvet voice was back, and gone was the sluggishness that she followed in her drunk state.By getting everything in order, she simply meant making sure everyone had the right place at dinner for a change, taking care of the cooking and cleaning up after, and putting everything in its correct places on their plate until the meal time rolled around.I worked tirelessly in the kitchen and took care to make sure every piece of food looked perfect.Mac came into the kitchen and they both monitored me, He and Aunt Portia.I was uncomfortable under their gaze, so I tried to ignore it by focusing my attention on putting together a perfect bowl of rice for Aunt Portia. My hands were trembling, and my fingers slipped slightly causing the new plate I had picked to break apart into pieces instead of being properly folded.I felt tears forming in my eyes, but no one seemed to notice.Aunt Portia saved me
