Asteria D´Angelo

The following day, we were heading to the portal room and crossing the threshold to the Dragon Realm. As usual, I used the private portal network that was intended for family use.

We arrived at the castle lobby, and Ava greeted us. “Hey, welcome,” she smiled, and I gave her a quick hug. Zane stood behind uncomfortably, witnessing the open displays of affection. I suppose it was a bit unusual for him, given that he was raised in isolation.

    ZaneWe headed to the Vampire realm, Maddox beside me. I looked at him, and he was staring straight. “Hey, what is keeping you inside your head?” I asked.“Nothing…” he said. I could see it across his face, I could feel it, but if he didn't open up, there wasn´t much I could do to help him. I should give him time. Time to figure out things, time to get himself together… time…Time heals it all.“Alright, I am going to pretend I do believe you,” I said, and he laughed.“Seriously? Do you want to hear my turmoil when we are on our way to try to convince you, uncle, to stop your coronation and ot hand you the realm… buying time for the inevitable?” he chuckled, and I shrugged.“Time… it is a weird thing… precious, it is something that once you decide to spend it somewhere, you will not get do-

    RogerI went home, and Angie greeted me. “So, how was the meeting?” She looked at me, her hand on her hip, and a little attitude that I instantly knew I had fucked up.“So…” she paused, “Did the pregnancy come before or after the fact that the humans are getting ready to move on to the vampire realm?” she saidI took a deep breath. “It was before the meeting,” I sighed, and she gave me a tired look.“I didn't want to tell my family, yet… You went there and said it before my three idiot brothers…” she said, and I took a deep breath.I knew I had fucked up as soon as the words were out. Angie specifically said that she didn't want them to know because she didn't want them to worry about her while having to deal with this huge mess with the humans. But I was dared, and my nature was one of not backing off, so I went against my bet

  • RISEN: THE LYCAN PRINCESS   Chapter 225 - Round Up

    MaddoxRoger’s reveal of the news of their pregnancy was something that completely stole the attention from the date Zarina and I had. I smiled, and he shrugged his shoulders, because he knew he had stolen the attention. But when I mouthed a heartfelt `thank you,´ he knew that I would always appreciate it.We finished the sparring. This shit Dominic came up with was something pulled out of a teenage girl’s book. More like a sorority pajama party, where people spill their secrets, but instead of snacks, there are punches. I guess it was the male version of it. It was fun, though, because we all learned things about each other, and we also saw the motivation for all we are doing here, trying to defend the supernatural race, trying to save the vampire realm, and coming back home in one piece.I sighed. Home, that word a day ago, didn’t have a real meaning, but with Zarina in the equation, now it means something deep. “Gather around,&rd

    ZaneThe following day, Maddox arrived at the training grounds, and when I looked at him, I knew deep down that pushing him to go out on a date with Zarina was a good call.“So,” I pushed his shoulder playfully,“So,” he looked me square in the eyes. The bastard was enjoying it, the attention. He would feed us little details, stupid, meaningless ones, while I bet everyone was yearning for the real tea.“Yo! How was the date last night?” Urien was the first one to snap. He was bouncing on his heels, all excited and happy. He is a pure soul, one with a great sense of humor, and a horrible knack for pranks. Elisa has her hands full with that one.Roger looked up. He was playing coy, but he was completely interested in the conversation. Yeah, those guys were also my brothers, and I was happy about how they welcomed Maddox, no questions asked.“I really don't want

    ZarinaMy heart ached in a way I had no idea it could ache. It didn't hurt because of what had happened to me, or because of fear. It ached because the Goddess paired me with a man who had not known in his life what it is to be loved, unconditionally, truthfully, without reservations.Goddess, I didn't know… and I stood before him, telling him that the practical thing to do in our situation was to go for a clean rejection. Goddess! I feel horrible, because what was something pragmatic for me was yet another rejection in his life.Tears welled in my eyes… I couldn't hold them. I don't know what he has endured, or how many hardships he has faced… Those were enough for a lifetime… I will make sure of it. It might be bond talking, but I can't stand the idea of this man feeling disposable, alone, and unloved for one minute more.“I can't imagine what you have been through,” I mut

    MaddoxZarina is a real beauty. I couldn't keep my eyes out of her, and damn if I didn't want to try, because I did. Not only because she could be what the others had said, my salvation, but because I got this incredible urge to care and protect her.My demon was content. I have never been at ease, not while I was imprisoned, nor after. There has always been something bothering me, setting my demon on edge. For the first time in my life, I was at peace. My demon was not restless, and I felt… happy.My demon whimpered when she suggested that a rejection was for the best. I knew it, in my head, I knew that it was the best outcome, a clean break, no dependence, no strain, no fight… but my demon felt pain, and my heart… my heart felt torn.I understand now why the guys kept pushing me into being here tonight. They already knew that this was inevitable. She was open about her idea of
