I t took me a good few hours and a lot of magical ink, but Rosalie’s tattoo was finally done and I healed away the last of the wound, cleaning away the blood with an alcohol wipe. She slid off of her bed, pulling her crop top back on along with her boy short panties. I’d hardly given a shit that she’d been naked for half of the work, it was necessary to cover the full extent of her scars. And I was pretty sure she felt this weirdly plutonic bond we were forming too.

I guessed it was vaguely similar to how I might have felt toward a sibling. Not that I could ever really be seen like that to her or anyone in this family besides Dante. They’d go along with their Alpha’s orders, but without him I was just an outsider. One who’d hurt their family, killed people they loved. There would always be blood on my hands when it came to the Oscuras and I found that unsettling since the stars had broken mine and Dante’s Astral Adversary bond.

I turned my wrist over, eyeing the new ink I’d added just above the Scorpio tattoo on my wrist of the Leo symbol. I didn’t know why I’d decided to do it, but while Rosalie had taken a break from her session, I’d marked it on my skin without much thought. The lion had a few flames curling around it too and I knew this meant something more than I’d ever admit out loud.

“Oh fuck,” Rosalie gasped.

“What? Did I screw up that final rose?” I got up, moving over to where she stood before a long mirror and inspecting the rose that sat just above her collar bone.

“No, Ryder…it’s perfect. It looks badass!” She wheeled around, throwing her arms around my neck and I stilled in her hold as she squealed her excitement in her ear.

“It’s nothing,” I grunted.

“It’s everything,” she snarled as she released me, her eyes flaring with power for a moment. Shit, when this girl was Awakened, she was gonna be a force of nature. I could feel the weight of her pain lifting from her and was sure she’d be far stronger for this experience overall. Life handed out pain in droves in Alestria, but Rosalie Oscura was a survivor. She’d be one of the few who thrived because of her suffering. Like my girl Elise.

“Well…good,” I muttered.

“Is there anything I can do for you in payment? We’ve got stardust, or auras or-”

Rosalie’s door burst open and a bunch of young kids spilled in, diving on Rosalie and licking her madly.

“We missed you!”

“Where’ve you been?”

“Oh wow, look at that tattoo!” one yelled and they all fell on her, checking out every inch of it while I tried to slip out the door. Before I made it to freedom though, one of the small people spotted me.

“Oh my stars, the Lunar King’s here!” one little girl cried before diving at me.

I was accosted by tiny Wolves as they climbed me, licked me, pawed at me.
