this is how a heart breaks

Siren didn’t feel as special as Aliana looked her with. She had grown up practically alone save Chimera and she had never really gotten over being a forgotten child. Her premonitions always felt like more of a curse than a blessing. She’d gotten yelled at once when she hadn’t warned Chimera about something she saw. She became obsessed with an idea of how he understood the vision one way but it meant something completely opposite. She hadn’t ever really predicted any event. Her hallucinations were useless.

Alianna seemed interested in the color auras around wolves. Siren saw a golden aura on herself, another of the royal colors. "I only tell you what I see and know.” When she was growing up most of the wolves in Ashen were of Klein heritage and they all bore the golden, silver, and bronze type auras. Siren didn’t know if there was any real correlation with royal status, but maybe it spoke deeper than skin deep. Aliana was more than a slave to Chimera.

Who the woman asked after next. What color was Chimera’s aura? His was one that wasn’t shared with anyone else within the Empire that she knew of. Though she tried not to think about it Tiberius shared it too. "Shadow, smoke, and a red like the glow of fire.” Siren told her honestly with her soft voice.
