Jesse's P.O.V."Did you move the shadow off us for a moment?" I asked Damon, having felt exposed for a second. "Wouldn't dream of it. No one else gets to see this body of yours." He nibbled at my earlobe. His hand squeezed at my neck lightly, applying just the smallest amount for pressure. His other hand was sliding under my bra now, reaching for my n*pple. He didn't waste time, shoving me between these buildings, out of nowhere, and pinning me against the wall. He said it was time for my punishment. I felt the thrill through my body, arousing me. He kissed me furiously, leaving my lips puffy and bruised, almost. He bit at my lip, but never enough to draw blood. "You ready for your punishment?" He looked me dead in the eyes. I nodded and he squeezed harder around my neck. "Use your words." "Yes." I moaned. He gave me that wicked smirk he gets when he's about to be a good kind of rough with me. I felt the excitement pool in my stomach, leaking out between my thighs. He turned me a
Ares' P.O.V."I'm sorry, I can't do more to help Nova." I told her, getting up from the floor. We'd spent the last 30 or 40 minutes just talking. She was telling me how she was feeling. We were talking about Augustus, reminiscing on the times we were kids. Our next classes start soon. She and August have general fire training together, while I'm in the seer building with grandma Ramona."You've done plenty. Thank you, Arie." She smiled at me. She wrapped her arms around my neck, hugging me tightly. Nova was a very affectionate friend, always touching and hugging when she could. Even though she's done it all our lives, it still surprises me when she shows me random affection. "I'll see you later for lunch." I told her, knowing it for a fact. She'll be with the sea witch. "See you then." She waved as I traveled through the shadows to the seer building. I am literally the only shadow weaver that goes to the small seer building. I've always loved the way the stars reflect off the gla
Nova's P.O.V.I was the first to arrive at fire battle class, having used my water portal. I grabbed my pearl after talking with Ares. He always seems to calm me. He has a way of getting me to talk things through, seeing them in a new light. I don't know how he does it, but I do feel better after talking with him…after admitting how I feel about Augustus. "Hey, can we talk?" Augustus' voice came from beside me. He shadow weaved into the chair to the right of me."About what?" I made sure to sound irritated, and he sighed, slouching back in his chair. "You're so difficult. Look, I know I messed up, okay?" "Is that your way of apologizing? Because it's seriously lacking." I snarked. "See, difficult." He shook his head. "I don't know if you know this, Auggie, but in order to apologize you actually have to say I'm sorry." I rolled my eyes at him. "How about I say I fu.cked up?" He asked, looking at me with pleading eyes. I could see the worry in them. He was worried about us, about
Augustus' P.O.V.I couldn't get away fast enough from Nova. She had me feeling all kinds of ways that I was not used to. It threw me for a loop. This is Nova we are talking about. Pulled on my hair to annoy me when we were young, Nova. Carried around a raggedy teddy bear to fight off nightmares, Nova. She's my childhood friend. I need to get my d*ck to contain itself. We cannot have Nova. We can never mess that up. Nova is the only real friend I have, aside from Andy. So I'll make my way to the redhead beauty in the distance to distract myself."Hey gorgeous, mind if I take your hand?" I asked her. She turned to look at me. Her crystal blue eyes roamed my body, assessing my worth. I am sure she was looking at my aura as well. I guess she found something she liked as she extended her hand to me. "You may have my hand." "Thanks." I gave her my flirtatious smirk. "I'm Augustus, but you can call me Gus." "I'm Elezen." She batted her eyelashes at me. "Nice to meet you, Elezen." I for
Jesse's P.O.V."Ms. Miles!" Sebastian had me snapping back from my thoughts."Sorry, Mr. Looms." Even though he's a family friend, at school he's Mr. Looms and only Mr. Looms. "What was the question?"I heard some light giggling from some girls in the back. I turned, eyeing them furiously. I'll shove a damn shadow down their throats if they don't shut up soon."Which shadow order is the most powerful?""It's not written in the book, but ancient shadows are the strongest. After that, it is executive then official." I answered, having known this all my life."Good, now stay focused Ms. Miles." Sebastian warned me. I nodded my head in understanding.This was a required course for all shadow weavers. Ares and Augustus took it last year already, so it was just me in here. No Damon, no brothe
Ares' P.O.V.I need to find Jesse. That vision of her has me worried. Something is going on, or is about to happen. I need to help her. I need to let her know I am here for her. I shadow traveled to the dark purple building that housed us darker creatures.Sebastian was picking up around the room when I emerged. I looked around for Jesse, but it seemed she had already left."Hey, did you see where Jesse went off too?" I asked him, startling him a bit."For the shadows, Ares!" He scolded. "No, I don't know where she went. Maybe call her?"He disappeared after that, leaving me in the room by myself.'Where are you?' I shadow messaged her.I gave her a few minutes, but she didn't respond. I began to worry, knowing she didn't have a class right now. What was she doing? What's being done
Nova's P.O.V.All eyes were on our table. Sure I'd given them something to talk about with that fight earlier, but I didn't think they'd be openly gawking at us. I took a bite of my apple slowly, meeting everyone's eyes. They can stare if they want, but I'll stare right back at them. Most of them turned their attention away when I did."This is stupid. Why don't we just go eat somewhere else?" Auggie sounded frustrated.He didn't like the negative attention. I'd beat his ass in front of a lot of people earlier. He was still coming to terms with that, not used to having his ass handed to him. He is very strong, it just so happens that I have the perfect counter to each of his elements. Dragon fire for his shadow and water for his phoenix.
Jesse's P.O.V.I had invited Cas to eat lunch with me as a thank you for saving us. I told him it'd be my treat, whatever he wanted."What if I wanted your blood?" He asked."That's a fat no." I deadpanned and he laughed."I'm joking. I prefer something sweet anyway." He winked at me.Cas was definitely a flirt. It had come out more after Ares left. I didn't mind the sweet attention he was giving me. In fact, I could really use it. Damon was still in the forefront of my mind with that stupid video. I know Ares can tell something is going on, as well, but thankfull
