“How long are you going to stay here at the Nova pack?”

He asked with a glint in his eyes. “Until you master your powers, right? Well now… it seems like you have your answers with me then.”

“But you told Shiva”I heard Stilts say from the field as Reapus snapped his gaze in his direction.

“Shiva’s not here though… is she?” Reapus smirked with a shrug. Yet, there was a strange look in his eyes. Almost as if he wanted to provoke her.

“I need to be with Clover” Sion said as he looked down at me. He wasn’t saying it like he needed me, though. it was more like in the tone that I needed him. Was he worried about me being here in the Nova pack? I wonder if he was concerned hearing that I was intended to be Doug’s mate.

“Well then, don’t take a long time figuring out how to use your powers.” Reapus stared at him unwavering. “You need this, Sion. You need to learn to walk in the in-between realm. You’ll be cloaked from sight. This will be invaluable in recovering your pack.”

My l!ps parted slightly as I stared at Reapus. He was doing this for Sion. He basically spelled it out right there. He was going to train Sion so he could walk around undetected between the two realms.

“You could lose her without this. If-if a certain demon gets a hold of her..” Reapus shook his head. “I can’t claim her until she dies, and she can be kept where not even you can get to her:”

“What demon?” Sion growled.

The demon of demons. The Demon King Marcus.”

Reapus stopped and pursed his l!ps together. “Knowledge is power, but it is also dangerous. Just know that greater things are at work here. Powers that you can’t even imagine.” He sighed loudly and shook his head. “We have work to do. Do you understand? This needs to happen now while there is still time. While you still have someone you can protect.

Okay I didn’t like that last part and neither did Sion. His fingers pulled me tight against his side as he narrowed his eyes at Reapus. “What do they want with her?”

“To drain her. They want her essence, but they can keep her alive and continue to drain her over and over again. It is a cruel fate. But he won’t risk exposing himself… so as long as they don’t get a hold of her, he won’t come for her. She is just an insurance policy anyways. There are greater beings he is after.” Reapus trailed off quietly.

“Clover..” Sion’s voice was a pained whisper. I looked up at him and could see the hesitation in his eyes. I was dying inside, knowing I would have to be parted from him. Even an hour was too long, and I didn’t know when I would see him again. I had to put on a brave face… for him.

“Sion..”I reached my hand up to rest on his cheek. I gave him a faint smile as I took in a deep calming breath. I watched as his iris’ flashed in color as he battled with his emotions. I understood it… since felt the same way too.

Luckily, I was able to hide it better. This had nothing to do with being strong or brave. This was survival instincts. You were not supposed to be away from your mate all the time. It wasn’t natural. I needed Sion and he needed me. How would he be without me there? Who would help him control his emotions?

“Why do l have to keep getting ripped apart from my heart” Sion whispered into my hand as he k!ssed it lightly.

“You can do this, Sion. Master your power quickly and come back to me.” I felt a pressure in my ch3st that l smiled through. “We both have tasks that we need to complete. I’ll learn how to control my powers and you will learn yours.

Then, together, we will reclaim your pack.”

“Then no more being apart,” Sion said, and I nodded my head.

“You’ll be around me so much you will suffocate, I promise.”

He smiled and shook his head. “Impossible. You can’t suffocate on oxygen.” He leaned his head down to mine.

“| love you, Sion.”

“Only and always you, my love” Sion said as his l!ps melted against mine.

“Don’t worry, we will keep her safe” Kai said as I breathed in Sion’s breath. Keep me safe? Sion was the one who would be all alone. Who would keep him safe? | know he was strong, but he still needed someone. No one wanted to be alone. And I can’t exactly say having Reapus around is company.

“Looks like your first lesson has arrived, Reapus said as a loud bellowing sound echoed from the field. “Time for yours, Anubis.”

One moment, Sion was there. His head was leaning against mine and I was breathing in his sweet breath. Then the next… he was gone. Again. I took in a sharp breath, wanting nothing more than to follow after him. I know this was necessary… but why was there this heavy pain in my ch3st? Why did I feel like something terrible was going to happen? Habit?

I couldn’t do this to myself. I needed to push on and do what I came here to do.

“Clover..” Kai said from behind me. “I just want you to know that I am here.” I nodded my head staring at the empty space in front of me. Sion… was alone.

The loud bellow echoed out again making me turn my head. My eyes fell on a large bull-like beast. Dark brown shaggy fur with large protruding muscles. It had two large horns from its monstrous bullhead. Loóks like my first lesson will be on a minotaur.

Okay, I needed to focus. Sion was learning to control his powers and now I would learn to control mine.

Sion

The world changed around me. One moment I was with my angel and the next I was plunged into darkness.

I looked around angrily until my eyes landed on the

“How dare you? I wasn’t done telling her-“

“You never would have been done. It never would have been enough time. Trust me. This is something l know all too well. Everyone wants to tell their loved one’s goodbye one last time. At first, I used to accommodate this… but it was never long enough for them.”

“This isn’t the same thing!” l growled. l couldn’t believe this man. I understand I made a deal with him for my life. l even understand that I have to learn to control my powers, but at least let me properly say goodbye to the woman I love.

I felt anxious leaving her. Everyone was saying she was safe, but my insides burned with rage. The moment we stepped into the Nova pack I felt the hairs on my arms rise. I didn’t want to leave her there. Something seemed… off. I needed to hurry back to her. I wanted to warn her; I wanted to tell her to stay close to our officers.

Reapus was right. I would never be prepared to leave her. That wasn’t what this was about. This was about me warning her. Maybe it was nothing. The pack didn’t seem excited that their Luna had returned. Though, most of that was because they were disappointed. They expected her to take Doug as her alpha. Just thinking about that made me want to rip him apart. He is lucky he didn’t look at her in a lvstful way or there would be pieces of little Dougie everywhere.

“We should have brought Clover with us.”I sighed, trying to shake this feeling in my ch3st.
