|ORION|Ailana knows better than to summon me. I would never answer, but she has something-someone of mine that I cannot ignore.As I materialized in the moon palace, the familiar scent of smoke and dust assaulted my senses, signaling that something was gravely amiss. Servants scurried about, their movements frantic and panicked as they attended to the aftermath of the chaos.Ignoring their chaos, I strode purposefully through the grand corridors, my mind focused solely on one thing: finding Ailana. She was the one who had me summoned, the reason I had been drawn back to this place despite my reluctance to return.As I reached the throne room, the scene before me confirmed my suspicions. Ailana stood at the center, her expression grim as she surveyed the destruction that surrounded her. Beside her stood Raeya, her features etched with concern as she conversed quietly with her friend.Terielle, Eloise, and Saoirse stood at the other end of the room with two people I didn't recognize.

|ASTRAEA|I never recognized anyone. Heck I never went anywhere that I had to recognize someone. They all looked the same to me in my fathers ball parties, I would always come, greet and return back to my chambers out of boredom.My heart thumped as I stated into the mesmerizing hues of the figure’s eyes."Who are you?" I demanded, my voice trembling with a mixture of fear and defiance.The figure chuckled softly, a melodic sound that echoed in the cold room. "Ah, you may not remember me, but I assure you, we are old acquaintances."My mind raced as I tried to place the voice, to recall any memories of this mysterious figure. But try as I might, my thoughts remained shrouded in darkness, the memories elusive and distant."Why have you brought me here?" I pressed on, my voice growing stronger with each word. "What do you want from me?"The figure's smile widened, revealing a glint of amusement in their eyes. "Oh, my dear Astraea, I have brought you here for a purpose—a purpose that wil

|ORION|Dead ends. Everywhere I turn, nothing but dead ends. My frustration boils beneath the surface, a seething rage that threatens to consume me with each passing moment. Despite my tireless efforts, I've been unable to find Astraea.Every lead I pursue fizzles out into nothing, leaving me with more questions than answers. The weight of my failure hangs heavy on my shoulders, a constant reminder of my inability to protect the one I love.I ran my hand through my hair, the frustration gnawing at me.“Where the fuck is she?!” As I pace the confines of my chamber, memories of Astraea flood my mind—her laughter, her smile, the warmth of her touch. Each memory only serves to fuel my frustration, driving me to push harder, to search more relentlessly for any sign of her whereabouts.But the truth remains elusive, taunting me with its elusiveness. And with each passing day, the fear that I'll never see Astraea again gnaws at my insides, threatening to consume me with despair. I may hav

|ASTRAEA|My eyes fluttered open as i lay there, battered and broken, darkness threatening to consume me.I sensed a soothing presence, lifting me gently from the depths of despair. The goddess stood before me, her form radiant amidst the shadows that surrounded us.It was her again."Come," she said, her voice echoing through the silence. "Lets walk together."Her voice sounded so familiar yet I couldn't grasp the thought. I reached out, grasping her hand as she guided me through the darkness, leading me to a tranquil stream that sparkled in the moonlight. We walked in silence, the gentle sound of the water soothing my troubled mind."Why can't I see your face?" I asked, my voice barely more than a whisper.The goddess smiled, her features shrouded in a veil of mystery. "Some things are meant to remain hidden, even from those who seek answers," she replied cryptically."But why?" I pressed, a flicker of frustration igniting within me."Because the truth is not always what it seems,"

|ORION|I teleported back to the base with her in my arms. Kallias and the guards had killed all the cloaked beings.I stared at the cloaked being that the guards held, my blood boiling. “Why is he alive?”“For interrogation.” I nodded as the guards teleported back to Zorzaris leaving me with Astraea in my arms and Kallias.His eyes fixed on her as they held fury, “ What did they do to her?”“I wonder too, let's return to Zorzaris.” He nodded and we materialised in Zorzaris. The healers were already on standby and they rushed to me, taking Astraea from my arms and towards her chamber to treat her.Eloise and Terielle had also returned from the Moon Palace Eloise sobbed at the sight ofAstraea. As the healers whisked Astraea away to tend to her wounds, I watched with a mixture of relief and anguish. My heart clenched at the sight of her battered form, the bruises and bandages a stark reminder of the horrors she had endured.Kallias stood beside me, his expression dark with fury. “She's

| |ASTRAEA|Who was I -before they broke me?Because i remembered.I remembered everything they did to me. And the flashbacks hurt.The chains are broken but am i truly free?Am i a monster or the victim myself?I ran my hands through my hair, my whole chamber was dark as i had shut all the windows. I didn't deserve to see the light. Yet the moon light still managed to seep it's way through.As I pressed my ear against the door, straining to hear any sound from outside, I realized something. I couldn't use my werewolf senses anymore. It was like I was cut off from that part of myself."He's gone," I thought to myself, my voice barely audible in the silent chamber. With a trembling hand, I reached for the door handle, hesitating for a moment before slowly pushing it open.As the door creaked open, I peered cautiously into the dimly lit hallway, my heart racing with fear and uncertainty. But before I could even take a step outside, strong hands suddenly grabbed me, pulling me into their

|ASTRAEA|My voice.My voice was back and he kissed me. As he dropped us back on land, I hit his chest crying again.It's such a fine line between feeling everything and nothing at all."You talked, you smiled. Baby That's progress."He whispered holding my waist.I slammed my fists on his chest crying so badly, "Why did it take you so long to find me?" His shoulders tensed as I kept hitting my fist."Why? What What if I had die-" His finger brushed my lips keeping me shut as his Obsidian eyes glared at me.“Really Star? death? You think I would let death take you? I will fight for you to the end, Yeah?” He whispered in my ears as I nodded, sniffling.We sat beside the lake, I brushed my legs in the cold water while he watched me.“Take off your clothes.” My eyes widened at his words as he kept a straight face. “Show me your scars.” My hands instinctively wrapped around my body, I was insecure. I didn't want him to see how bad I looked until I was completely healed.“But why?”“I want

|ORION|I am proud to be a ruler of Zorzaris.As the sun rose on a new day, I found myself caught up in the bustle of preparations within the palace. Unbeknownst to me, the people of Zorzaris had decided to host a party in honor of Astraea, a gesture of gratitude for her kindness and compassion towards them.“Sire, please sign here.” Lotar rushed to me as I skimmed through the documents before signing them.Other workers stood behind him all holding documents they wanted me to review and sign.“Done.”As I moved through the halls, overseeing the final arrangements and ensuring everything was in place, a sense of excitement bubbled within me. I couldn't wait to see the look of joy on Astraea's face when she realized the extent of the Zorzaris' appreciation for her.She made me happy, and excited.She made me forget all the nightmares and all the taunts I suffered from my people and every being around the world.She made me hope.With each passing moment, anticipation grew, and as the g

|ASTRAEA| “Let it go!” Eloise and I dashed through the vibrant landscape in our wolf forms, the sun casting a golden glow over the meadows, I couldn't help but feel a surge of exhilaration coursing through my veins. "Your wolf is stunning," Eloise remarked, her voice filled with genuine admiration as she brushed her fur against mine. I let out a playful snort, rolling my eyes at her comment. "Don't inflate Asana's ego any further," I teased, a smile tugging at the corners of my mouth. As we continued to run side by side, the wind whipping through our fur and the scent of wildflowers filling the air, I felt a sense of freedom and joy unlike anything I had ever experienced before. It was moments like these, when I was surrounded by the beauty of nature and the warmth of friendship, that I truly felt alive. After a while we shifted into our human form, resting on the grass. “I’m happy you have totally recovered. We sh-” "Astraea." Raeya's gentle voice interrupted, drawing my atte

|ASTRAEA| As I walked away from Haiti, the throbbing in my head intensified, the voices growing louder and more insistent with each passing moment. It was as if a storm was raging inside my mind, threatening to consume me whole. Raeya noticed my distress and hurried to my side, concern etched on her features. "Astraea, are you alright?" I shook my head, trying to block out the voices that echoed in my mind. "I don't know what's happening. I keep hearing... things." Raeya's brow furrowed with worry as she placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. "We need to get you out of here, to somewhere quiet where we can figure out what's going on." With her support, I pushed through the crowd, the cacophony of voices and magic swirling around me like a whirlwind. Each step felt like a struggle, the weight of uncertainty pressing down on me with every breath. Finally, we found a secluded alcove away from the chaos of the festival. Raeya helped me sit down, her expression grave as she studied
