She was the perfect child, second inline for the throne, until she wasn't. The burned ones aren't the only threat Alfea faces, irreversible damage caused and secrets kept. As a child you learn that light is good and shadows are bad, but what happen...

Introducing Irene and Beatrix was the worst decision of my life. The two have spent the last hour quietly bickering over anything and everything. Yet I can't help but smile at the way my sister's eyes light up at Irene's advice, this is what she missed without having a mother. We are currently testing and sampling the burned one residue, drying out first and then grinding it down before suspending some of it in different soluble substances to see the reactions.
Slow progress is what I'm trying to say.
Professor Harvey joined our little group some time ago, giving a confused look at Beatrix who has taken over two of his work benches and is currently ordering us around with the efficiency of a general. Irene keeps giving her vaguely bemused looks but I see a hint of approval in her eyes. I think Bea sees it too because she keeps turning to Irene after she makes a discovery, as if seeking that approval.
She is hoping that Andreas is mated to Irene and Silva, Darkling whispers and I freeze in shock. It's unlikely since Dowling is obviously so close to Silva and not everyone in a 'throuple' is mated to each other, so Irene's opinions wouldn't matter.
You, Sky and Riven are exceptions, and I'm not even sure if Sky and Riven are mated or just attracted to each other either way. Little shadow chimes in, appearing from a nearby shadow.
I take it Irene's shifter scent meant you couldn't tell she had more than one mate? I murmur in annoyance, now Beatrix has gone and got her hopes up that Andreas might actually be able to provide her with a mother figure, when I could have saved her the inevitable heartache if I had found out sooner. Bea love hard and bold, she would never shy away from her claim on family. I know it kills her to not see Andreas more, to purposely pretend he's not her father.
Family is everything to her. Especially after Ricki and Ellie.
He hums, Well, mate numbers tend to run in families and if Sky has two, and he was raised by Silva - it's a mindset you see. Part of the reason why you get your mates later than most instead of at birth, with the whole ' who provides the strongest offspring' of the Zoúnkla allásson.
Because your mate bonds are decided once you develop as a person, Little shadow takes over. This means that some people are more compatible with more than one mate than others. So in this regard, Sky would take after Silva - not Andreas.
Poor Andreas, it seems that his bond with Sky as a dad is going to be really hard to develop if Sky's personality is so intertwined with that of Silva's. Sky might not forgive him for playing dead, nevermind that Rosalind trapped him in the safe house with a magical barrier. Nothing to say of the mind-fuckery that she did on both him and Beatrix over the years.
