“Agreed, dumbasses. And they got their wolves less than two years ago, I shifted three years ago – that means I should be given priority,” Allie adds, frowning deeply.
“I think that’s something to complain to Leo about.” I’m not helping, but I don’t know what else to tell my two very angry friends.
“Hmm, I think I will,” Heaven says haughtily, making me smile.
“Yeah, we’re a team,” Allie adds in displeasure.
“I have some other news, want to hear it?” I ask.
“Sure, but it won’t make me forget this,” Heaven replies.
“Same,” Allie adds.
“Well… I told Mama about Jayce.”
They both look at me, surprised, before smiling. “Nice! But when you tell Uncle Liam, can you record it?” Allie asks me.
“I don’t think this trip is the time to do that.” I giggle.
“Well, whenever you do.”
“Oh, and before I forget, that night when I went on a date with Jayce, we went to the shops and I found these necklaces. So I- well, Jayce paid. I’ve been meaning to give them to you, but you know how things have been wild.”
“Yes, I blame Jayce for that… he’s stolen you from us.” Allie doesn’t sound so pleased.
I smile. “I’m sorry, but I’ll always be yours first. Friends forever, right?”
“Sisters,” Heaven says, smiling at us.
“And only death will separate us,” Allie says with a nod. I look at her and shake my head.
“Not even death,” I promise. Reaching over, I place my hand on her knee and reach out for Heaven’s hand with my other hand. She takes it, and I give them both a smile. “We have to survive this war. We have to see the dawn that rises on a new era.”
“Those are deep words,” Allie says. “I like it.”
I release their hands and take out the necklaces that I had selected. “So when Jayce took me to that shop, I saw these and wanted to get them. It’s a set of three.”
I hold the long chains up; the star is set with iridescent stones, the moon with deep blue and the sun with white. “Heaven, I thought the sun was perfect for you, and Allie the moon for you.”
“It’s cute,” Allie says. “Thanks. It also makes me happy to see you were thinking about us on your date.”
I giggle. “Of course. Oh, and I cleaned yours with an alcohol wipe,” I add to Allie.
“Thanks.”
I smile watching them put their necklaces on before I decide to head to my own room. I’ll spend my night there and have a little catch-up with Shahira, too, and then I’ll perform that spell.
I had setup the spell after having a mug of hot chocolate with Shahira. She was really grateful for the herbs and Mama had packed her a lot more than she was expecting. I loved seeing her eyes sparkle with excitement.
I now wait for the spell to take effect as I drift into slumber.
Heat burns my skin as I find myself in the breathtaking castle once more. Helios’ home…
My heart thuds as I look around, wondering where he is.
“Helios? My Lord?” I’m not sure how to greet a god respectfully. The Solaris bloodline worships him. Hmm, I’m not sure if I’ve heard Royce address him by anything but Helios.
And here I am talking to him. Why me? Why does he even want to help me?
