Mated to the Alpha and His Beta

“So, what happens if she doesn’t wake up?” I asked Stella.
“We don't have time to keep messing around with this s hit,” Mason spat. “Stella,
if you expect us not to fight you, then you have to tell us what we can do.”
“Gabriela could come back here at any second,”
Zane said quietly. “If she sees Lanie like this,won’t the High Council also see it?
How will we be able to explain it to her without revealing everything?”
“This is a pretty terrible time for the Moon Goddess to put her in a f ucking coma,”
I said with my fists clenched. I waited for lightning or something to strike me for
my blasphemy.
I almost welcomed it. At least that would be something I could understand.
Something I could hate the Goddess for.
“She’s not in a coma. She’s walking in the world between,” Stella said after a
moment. Her expression shadowed. “She’s having trouble returning.”
I growled. My wolf paced. He wanted to leap out of my skin. I wanted to let him. If
I was my wolf, I wouldn't have to deal with any of this.
No. I shook away that cowardice. An Alpha didn’t run. Not from a fight. Not from
trouble.
And not from this.
“I was going to leave her as long as the Goddess wanted her, but...” Stella
hesitated. Her shoulders bowed, and her head hung. “I'm sorry, fathers. I'm sorry
for how hard this all is.”
Her head went up. Her eyes blazed with a swirl of colors, finally settling on a
brilliant gold rimmed with silver. I'd never seen anything like it, and the sight had
my blood running cold. I'd known our daughter was powerful, but in this moment,
she didn’t look...human.
“I will go alone,” Stella said. “I will go to Standard to the High Council and let
them take me. If they have me, they'll leave everyone else alone!”
Mason went to her at once and gathered her against his chest. “Never. I will
never allow that, Stella, so you can stop with that nonsense right now.”
“Have you seen what happens if you do that?”
Zane asked quietly.
“It doesn’t matter. We won't let her face them alone,” Mason snapped back at
him.

Chapter 429
My brother had been there for Stella's first moments in this life. He'd been her
father before either me or our Beta. She clung to him now, her face against his
chest, while he stroked her hair. I couldn't see those
strange and wild eyes anymore. Right now, she looked like a scared young
woman seeking comfort from her
father.
Which was exactly who she was. My heart twisted. She was our daughter, and
there was no way we were ever going to let her face danger without us at her
back.
“Stella, what happens if you go alone?” I asked, not because I didn’t know, but
because I wanted to force
her to say it out loud.
If she had to admit the future she saw along this path, I hoped she'd realize she
couldn't take it. I even
sent up a prayer and an apology to the Moon Goddess. I begged her to take care
of our Luna...and also our
Celestial.
Stella shook her head against Mason's chest,but then, after a few seconds, lifted
her face.
Tears streaked it. Her silver and gold eyes had faded to their normal color, but I
would never forget the sight of them.
“If 1 go there alone...”
“She dies, that's what happens,” Mason snapped.
“She’s a Celestial,” I said quietly, holding her gaze with my own. “They wouldn't
kill her.
They'd find a way to use her, and that would be worse.”
“You'd be safe... Brightsky would be safe...”
“For how long?” I challenged her.
“For as long as I made them!” she cried. “Id make sure. I wouldn't do what they
want unless they swore
not to hurt anyone here!”

How could we ever live knowing that we were only safe because everyone else
wasn't?” I asked her.
Her expression twisted, and she pulled out of Mason's arms. She turned her
back to us. Her head
again.
Mason spoke next. “You might have every power ever known. You may be able
to change the tides
control the weather and whatever other talents exist that I don’t even know about.
But none of that mean
have to do any of this alone. Ever.”
Stella heaved a sobbing gasp and faced us. “I want to make you all proud-"
“You do!” Mason assured her. “Always.”
Zane hugged her, then stepped back. “Of all the possible paths you can see,
