Julio/Helio

When we got home, Violet walked straight up to me. I couldn’t decipher the expression on her face

as she spoke.

“Why did you have to tell my son that you’re not his father?” she asked, completely ignoring the fact that I had just awakened the Alpha power-as though she had already known, as though it

wasn’t surprising at all.

“It was the right thing to do, Violet,” I replied, loosening my tie with a tug. “One way or another, he was bound to find out. Telling him now was better.”

I let out a long breath. Exhaustion crept through me, heavy and insistent, a dull ache settling into

bones. Drawing out that much power had taken more from me than I expected.

I needed to sleep-before I collapsed.

“Still, you should have discussed it with me first,” she pressed.

I hissed quietly under my breath. “We’ll talk about this later,” I said, lowering my voice when I noticed Julian watching us closely, his eyes fixed on every movement.

“I’ll be back later,” I told him.

“Okay,” he replied with a nod.

I spared Violet one last look before turning toward the stairs.

Danae, who had remained silent the entire time, followed me as I headed to my room.

The moment we stepped inside, she clapped her hands together. “Seriously, Helio-you didn’t think to tell me you’d awakened the power?” she said, moving closer. Then she frowned. “You’re sweating, profusely.”

I nodded in response.

I felt like I was going to die. Worse than that, my body was burning from the inside out-so hot it felt unbearable. I needed something cold, needed it immediately, I needed to sink myself into freezing water.

“I’ll just soak myself,” I muttered, already undoing my tie. I pulled off my coat and tossed it aside, my movements hurried and restless.

“How does your body feel?” Danae asked.

“Like it’s on fire,” I replied.

She lifted her hand and pressed it gently to my forehead as I unbuttoned my shirt. “You’re burning

up, Helio. The power must have taken a serious toll on you,” she said, then quickly turned toward

the bathroom. “I’ll draw you a cold bath.”

She rushed inside while I stripped off the rest of my clothes.

Beyond the heat, my fangs throbbed painfully, and my head pounded as though my thoughts were

tangled and scattered, refusing to settle.

Bare, I stepped into the bathroom. Water was already rushing from the faucet into the bathtub. Danae stepped aside as I lowered myself into it, the cold biting against my skin as I exhaled

deeply.

“I feel the urge to bite,” I told her, staring at her steadily.

Her eyes widened for a brief second before her expression smoothed over, as if she understood exactly what was happening. “How strong is it?” she asked.

“Very strong,” I answered-and as I spoke, my fangs pushed past my teeth.
