Crucis and Acrux Cravenhart are stars. Literally. They are part of the Crux constellation.
Their mother always told them to stay away from humans, to never listen to their wishes. But Acrux, unlike Crucis, never listened to their mother.
When he connects with one of the students of Aether Academy, Leo Brightwell, he asks him to bring him down to Earth.
Mimosa, furious at her son's departure, orders Crucis to follow him and bring him back to the constellation. Crucis never wanted to become human, and now, betrayed and wounded, she must sacrifice everything she has ever known.
And the worst part of it all is that it's incredibly hard to hate Leo Brightwell, the one who brought her brother down to Earth.

The Weight Of What He Wants
"You think I've got control? Roxie, I lost that the second you came back into town wearing that damn smile and humming like you owned the air I breathe." (Updates every Saturday) ... Roxie Morgan never forgot how Cal Rawlins looked at her in high school - like she was invisible. She was the curvy, awkward little sister of his best friend, and she's more than fine with keeping it that way. That is until she moves back home. Her parents need the help. And Cal? Turns out, he's still around. Just as rugged, brooding, and ignorant as ever. Only now, to her chagrin, he actually acknowledges her existence. Unbeknownst to her, Cal Rawlins has spent the past few years burying everything he ever wanted, including Roxie. Back then, she was too young. Too off-limits. Too close to the one person he would never betray. So, he did the only thing he could - he ignored her, even when she was stuck on his mind. Unfortunately, secrets don't stay hidden forever, especially not as adults. The one he's been trying to keep is getting harder and harder to hide. He's running out of reasons to stay away, because the only thing heavier than the guilt he has is the weight of what he wants.

My magic is for you, Alpha
"He remained silent as he gazed upon her. He awaited her to initiate the conversation. If he was taken aback, he didn't show it, though a flicker of emotion passed in his eyes. This girl who had plagued his dreams, who had insulted and rejected him as if he was someone inconsequential, now stood before him, politely bowing and waiting for his response. No, he would not give her that satisfaction, at least of that he was certain."

His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes.

Sailing With Destiny
"Do you have any idea how damn frustrating you are?" He trapped me between him and the wall. Stubbornly, I looked squarely at him, "You say this like it's news to you."

He placed one hand on the wall and brought his lips an inch away from mine as the other hand trailed up my arms, "I am going to make you feel my frustration." I ran my finger along his jaw and dared him with my eyes, "I'm Mila," I grinned, "You can try but we both know you won't succeed."
