A Leader Must Rise - Old Version

Chapter 54

Aria's P.O.V

"Aria..." A soft voice called and I groaned. "Aria." The voice called again. I groaned, opening an eye and groaning again. "I'm losing track..." I mumbled and Rose laughed lightly. I got up, using my good arm. Once I was I was up, I looked around, my gaze settling on Justin. "I don't know what he was thinking." I whispered. "I know." Rose replied. "If he wasn't my brother..." I trailed off. "You would have done the same thing." Rose replied and I sighed. "Do you know what he was thinking? Nari couldn't get a firm grip on his thoughts." I asked. "Yes, but that is something for him to say." Rose replied and I nodded. "Now, I have to find my siblings and Father, Maru can heal your shoulder, but we will not return until you explained everything to your Royals, is this understood?" Rose asked. "Yes, it is, but what about Conner?" I asked. "We can bring him up if you wish for us to heal him. Maru will insist on this. He owes you for saving his Royal, he'll do what you ask." Rose answered. "Okay, I drew the line at the entire race, now their God! I gotta stop saving people." I exclaimed, rubbing my forehead. Rose chuckled, clearly amused. "I'll be back shortly, Aria." She said before disappearing. 'Jasper and Aaron, then Lucas, shortly followed my forty others, Conner, Kayla, another twenty wolves, and now a God...' I muttered. 'Yeah, gotta stop saving people.' Saph replied. 'Ah huh. Now, how to wake these sleeping beauties?' I asked. 'You know.' Saph replied, smirking. I smirked also, bringing my hand to my mouth, but wrong one.

I hissed but didn't stop. Chase jumped six feet, Justin bolted up, while the others spun around on their knees, looking for trouble. Andrew however, jumped to his feet, stumbled and went over the edge of the cliff. "Opps." I whispered. "You bitch!" Andrew growled and I winced. Justin cracked up laughing and Chase chuckled a little, walking over and helping him up. "My bad." I said as Andrew's eyes landed on me. He just growled at me before getting up. "Hi." I quickly said, trying to avoid a fight with Drew, walking to Addy, helping her up. "Hi." A man about 6'5, black raven hair and ice blue eyes said, standing. "Theo." I said as he walking up to me. "Aria." He replied, hesitantly reaching out for me. I smiled faintly as his fingers brushed my cheek. I felt Chase was agitated but didn't move from where he was. "I..." Theo choked and I smiled a little. "If you say, 'I thought you were dead', I'm not going to be impressed." I say and he chuckled, hugging me tightly. "Then I won't say it." He whispered and I laughed, pulling back and looking at another male beside us. "Stavos." I said and he smiled, hugging me. "I didn't doubt you for a second, Aria." He said. "Uh huh." I replied with a smirk. "Hey." He said before I turned to Sky. "You are on reckless chick." She said. "Been that way for years." I replied. "How many?" Addy asked. "Too many." Andrew muttered. "I could say the same for you, brother." I replied and he stuck out his tongue at me.

I chuckled and went with introducing my boys. "This is my twin and Beta, Andrew, our older brother and Delta, Justin, and this is my mate, Chase Evens." I said. "Alpha." They said, bowing their head and Chase returned it. "This is my Beta and twin, Drake, his mate, Atlanta, and my two Delta's, Leo and Alan, with Alan's mate, Sarah, and my mate, Ryder." Addy said, leaning against her mate. "This is Skylar. We briefly met a few hours ago." I introduced Skylar. "Ah huh, tell again, what were you doing?" Sky asked. "After." I replied, pointing to he two men behind her. "Alright, this is my temporary Beta, Sebastian Anaya, and this is... Jayden Shay." Sky said tightly at the end. No bothered to ask because of her tone, but when I checked her mating bond, this Jayden was her mate. "Earth." Justin croaked, eyeing Sebastian warily, who paled quickly, looking at Skylar nervously. "How do you know that?" Skylar asked with narrowed eyes. "Omniscience." I answered for him, eyeing him worriedly when he groans, holding his head in his hands. "You alright, Justin?" Leo asked. "Just a pounding headache." He replied. "What is that?" A male asked. He was standing next to Stavos. "Right, this is my Beta, Kylar and my Delta, Lars, his mate, Thomas and my mate, Shay." Stavos said, pointing to each person as he went. "And just to finish, this is my Beta, Dallas and my Delta, London and this is my gorgeous sister, Kyra." Theo said. "Hi." Kyra said to us, but her gaze was fixed on my twin. "Omniscience is the power to know everything and anything infinitely, and Drew." I said. "Hm?" He replied. "You're drooling." Justin said and Andrew went to wipe his chin, but caught himself and flipped us off.
