Poor Nyx. I feel so awful for her.
“I just don’t understand why they are coming after us specifically. I mean, yeah, we’re powerful and shit, but in the end, we’re just mortals. Why not wage war against the gods?” Devin asks. “He knows that Nathan is here. That he’ll continue to come after Nyx unless Lucifer deals with him. Plus, coming after you will be a great distraction. The wolves and witches are highly favored by the gods now that you have not only traveled into Tartarus to set them free, but also gotten Valhalla back and defeated a goddess on your own. You guys have made some significant friends,” Hermes says. We’re all sitting in the large conference room that we hold our supernatural meetings in, preparing for an invasion that we had no idea was coming. Aubrey and Meredith are busily working to get as many of the supernatural community here as possible while Bella and JoJo work on getting in touch with Hecate and Selene. We’re going to need their help to come up with something to save our people. Ha
*TRIGGER WARNING - This chapter is full of nonconsensual sex. Please read at your own discretion.* I have no idea what day it is. What time it might be. Hell, I don’t even know if it’s day or night. What the hell does it matter? It’s not like I’ll be able to get away from my “mate.” Even with my ever growing powers, he’s still more powerful than I am. He’s easily able to immobilize me and do whatever the hell he wants. And my fucking body betrays me every damn time. This bond is nothing like the bond with Nathan. With Nathan, he was all I could think about whenever he was around me. And even when he wasn’t there, I wanted him. I longed for him. I counted down the minutes until he came back. With Lucifer, my body responds. Every fucking time my body responds. But my mind doesn’t. I don’t want him anywhere near me. I don’t want him to touch me. The thought actually repulses me and I dread having him come back to the room whenever he’s around. Unfortunately, since
FUCK! I hate this! I hate this! I hate all of it! I hate that I’m not going to be able to protect any of my mates during this battle. Alexander is going to be a part of this battle and I’m not anywhere near him during any of this. I tried to get him to stay away from the main part of the fight, but because of his position as a warrior within his pack and as Selene’s warrior he refused to listen. I understand that he has a duty to his goddess and his people, but I just found him. I can’t stand the idea of losing him already. Josephina and Jacob are going to be helping with anyone that gets injured and I made sure to let them know a good place to set up. One that the battle won’t be going near. It just kills me that I’m not there to help them. To protect them. But I have a part to play. I have to keep Lucifer’s army in a specific area, so everyone else can circle around them. Round them up and take them down. I hate that I could only mark one of my mates. We very qu
“Dad, you’re going to have to order me again,” I tell him, feeling the anxiety building up in me again. It’s like a wave that won’t stop cresting over me. I have no idea how to stop it. Which is honestly making the anxiety spike even faster. I’m standing at the top of the hill overlooking the battle. Normally Dad would be in the thick of things, making sure that our pack members are safe. He’s got one of the coolest abilities, I think. Even with all of his tattoos, artifacts of the life that he lived with Aunt Chloe and Aunt Keisha before he met mom, he can fade into the background like he isn’t even there. You can walk right next to him, sniff the air, and look him dead in the eyes and not see him. He’s completely camouflaged to all were senses. The only one that has ever been able to see him was Gregory, because he could duplicate his skills. I remember stories that Mom and Dad told me about their battles. Dad would camouflage himself and sneak right up to the enemy
“I want to be with my team,” I growl, pacing back and forth. “I’m likely not going to feel anything. Nyx and I aren’t…we’re not…we never marked each other.” My voice faded out at the end of my sentence. “I know, Nate, but we don’t know how this is going to affect you,” Freya says. Bella, Jamal, and my folks thought that it would be best if I stayed with Freya. She’s the next High Priestess of the Maiden Coven. I’m the wolf mate of Lucifer’s mate. We’re prizes to be won. So we were put far away from the fighting. I mean fucking far from the fighting. Two hours away in a cave. Freya continues, “The fact that you two are having your matebond broken forcibly without the two of you rejecting each other is unknown territory. We don’t know what you’ll feel or if you’re going to have trouble focusing.” “Yeah, well this is pissing me off. I’ve got nothing to do!” I nearly shout. “Why don’t we work on my trial magic? That’ll take our minds off of everything, right?” Freya says,
The feeling of Nate’s skin against mine is addicting. His lips are sweet, his scent a mixture of grass and dirt and sweat in the most masculine way. I had never actually thought that I would kiss Nathan Swift, especially after he found out that Nyx was his mate. But here it is happening. In the back of my mind, I know that this isn’t a good idea. That he’s heartbroken, that the Maiden’s power is riding us right now, and that he won’t stay mine. That once this war is over, his goal is going to be to get Nyx back. But I can’t seem to stop myself. The magick is riding me too hard right now. It’s not the only thing that I want riding me. But I have to pull away. I have to know that it’s not just my love for Nate that is pushing this forward. He has to have a part in this decision too. Gathering all of my strength, I end the kiss with Nathan and pull away. Both of us are breathing hard and I can see that his beautiful dark blue eyes have started to bleed across the whit
I know that I’m doing this out of pure desperation. I know that I shouldn’t be doing it. It’s only going to complicate shit. My relationship with Bella and Jamal. My relationship with Freya and her siblings. It’s also not going to help Nyx or make me feel better in the long run. But with the magick that is flowing through me from the Maiden demanding to be let out and this vacuous hole in my chest from my matebond with Nyx being broken, I need to feel…something. Anything. I know that this isn’t the right thing to do. I shouldn’t be taking Freya’s virginity, no matter how ok she is with this. But with the way that she’s looking at me, her eyes filled with lust and longing, and how much I just need to feel wanted at this moment, I give in. I’m not proud of it. I’m weak. I know I am. But it doesn’t stop me.I slide the head of my cock through her folds, gathering her wetness on my length.“Oh, Goddess,” she moans at the feel. She really is gorgeous. Her skin is a warm
“They’re ok!” I tell Jacob. “Thank the Goddess,” he sighs and pulls me into a huge hug. “Where are they?” “Making out on the battlefield,” I giggle. Jacob pulls back, cocking an eyebrow at me. “Seriously?” “Babe, wouldn’t you? We haven’t had Hermes in months! We were all moping around here like we lost our favorite dick,” I say, curious why he’s upset. “I can’t tell if it’s my favorite dick since I haven’t had his dick. Still not sure if I’m ready for a fourth in our mating,” Jacob mumbles. “Dude, fuck off! You know that you want him. We all want him. We’ve talked about this,” I say, smacking him in the chest. Jacob just stares at me. “Are you fucking serious, Jacob?” I swear at him. “Are you really going to deny how much you missed him?” “No, I…I don’t deny it. I just…this didn’t really solve anything, right? I still don’t really know the guy. He still fucked up our matebond. And I’m still not sure if this is what I really want,” he says. “You know w
