*Elentari*I was so nervous waking up, I threw up. Multiple times. Mom was questioning me if I had done anything that would make me have morning sickness. I glared at her. Hep and I agreed to wait till after the wedding. She laughed at me. “Your nerves are that bad?” Alisee asked. She was smiling as she asked, but still was concerned. “I’m marrying a god. A freaking god. You would be shaking like a leaf too! He’s giving up his chance to have an immortal wife for me. I’m going to get old and die. He’s not. He’ll have to wait for me life after life till I am old enough in each life and repeat this cycle. I may or may not remember him and I may or may not come back. So yes, I’m nervous because a god is making an eternal commitment. He’s making a commitment to a level that, as mortal, I’m incapable of making.” It was weighing on me. Alke came up to my side, “Don’t let that weigh you down. There are many things that cannot be foreseen, and you never know what gift Adalith may bestow on
*Elentari*Making my getaway, Tanz and Tourmaline helped me change my dress. For my reception, I put on my normal knee-high black boot heels, black thigh-high stockings that attach to a black garter belt with black roses embroidered on it. I wore silky black panties and a matching push-up bra. Most people would classify my dress as an old time western or steampunk dress, but it was black with red roses on the skirt. It was shorter in the front than the back, hitting my mid thigh in the front and bustling in the back, still reaching my ankles. A beautiful underbust corset with red and silver accents hugged my waist and a silky off shoulder shirt that flowed out into long flared sleeves. It showed off every curve I possessed and was perfectly me. I redid my eye makeup to match my current outfit, switching the blue shadow for red, and then made my way down the stairs to the banquet hall, meeting Hep outside before we made our grand entrance. I got the reaction I wanted when he saw me. I
*Hephaestus*My son had given me the chance to whisk my wife away, and I shot him a smile with a, congratulations. “Now is our chance, my wife.” I pulled her hand and brought her towards me, lifting her up carrying her bridal style. Being a god has its advantages as within seconds we were in what was now our room. My hands trembled as I carried her through the room, setting her down on the edge of the bed. I fully intended to let her sit on her own, but she had other ideas, grabbing my shirt collar and pulling me down on top of her to kiss her. We rolled around each other, kissing and caressing one another. I stopped and bent down, starting to remove her boots, slowly. I could tell she had a fire burning in her soul. Her soul remembered us. This was going to be the best for us both. We didn’t have to give one another up, we weren’t in a brothel, we were in her home, in our room, in the castle. She was breathtaking. She’s always been breathtaking. My shaking hands moved up her thighs
*Elentari*I had never felt anything like this in my life before. Yes, I had played with myself and experimented with toys and what not, thinking I would never have a partner, so why not learn to please myself? But nothing prepared me for the dick of a god. He fit inside me perfectly. I was always told your first time would hurt, but this didn't. Maybe because I had experience with toys? I don’t know. He teased me as he undressed us both, ruining my laces from my corset, but I couldn’t care less. His fingertips were soft against my skin but rough at the same time. His nipping and licking at my nipples made my toes curl. I wanted him. I wanted all of him deep inside me. I wanted to feel what it was like to fully belong to him and him to belong to me. Feeling him through the layers of clothes was driving me crazy and I was beyond wet. I wanted to speak, tell him to fuck me, all my thoughts to come forward, but my throat constricted with each motion, shockwaves through my body. Simply g
*Elentari*After lots of teasing about being locked away for almost a week, the commotion calmed down. In two days it was time for my siblings birthday. Scottie and Lily were doing their own thing most of the time. A couple times I caught him chatting with Khalith in very hushed tones, so I could only guess he was asking for a ring for her. My son was going to make quite a name for himself as a jeweler. Maybe he will be a patron of jewelers some day. Everything was changing rapidly. I seemed to understand people better, seeing glimpses here and there of what people had been through or what they would go through. The saddest was my brother. His ties were unclear when it came to Eliza, and I knew that was breaking him. I knew he could see it too. Now that his mates would be granted immortality as well, Eliza was coming around, but not because it was what she wanted. She was being forced to say and do things. Part of me wanted to send Khalith and Hep to her house and scare the shit out
*Aranelda*My mind was in a messy state when Hep came to grab me for some sparring. Dad, Scott, Scottie, and Khalith were with him too. Guess this is meant to be the male bonding activity. I sucked in a deep breath and plastered a smile on my face. I had to pretend I was fine while I was feeling both of my mates in distress. Though Eliza’s distress was worse than Stacie’s. I was going to have to talk to my sister about that and maybe consult Selene or Helios. On our way to the dojo, a figure stopped Hep and I. It was shrouded like a black cloud. “Greetings, brother gods. I am Kali. I come to you because one dear to you is walking a path that will put them into my care. She may not survive unless you intervene in a timely manner. I cannot tell you who, as you will figure out there is only so much we can do or say to affect the course of events. But the sun may stop shining for a time if this were to come to pass.” Once the words were spoken the cloud disappeared. I looked at Hep. “W
*Stacie*The spa day was wonderful, but having to spend that much time with your “ex” is exhausting. I don’t care who you are or how much grace you have within you. I took the day in stride, but I hoped tomorrow would be a better day. Heading out of the spa and back up to my room, I felt the all too familiar presence of the most beautiful woman in the world behind me. “What do you need, Eliza?” I asked without turning around. If I looked at her I might just crumble. “Need?” She repeated quietly. Her tone was different, somewhat alarming. I felt her still, even though we rejected each other. I wasn’t supposed to be able to feel her, but here we are. Her grief and guilt floods over me. “I’m not sure what I need. I don’t know what to do. Have you ever been so dedicated to someone that their wants always came before your own and you never truly thought about yourself, or your own happiness?” Her question hit a cord with me. “I hid who I am for far too long so I wouldn’t have to be in th
*Aranelda*It was just after midnight when I woke Stacie up. I could feel her distress through the bond. At least, I thought it was Stacie’s. I rushed to her room, finding her thrashing in her sleep on a tear soaked pillowcase. “Stacie, wake up!” Her sobs flooded my ears. She rolled over onto me, clinging for dear life. “Love, what is wrong? Tell me what is going on? Why are you so upset?”I could barely understand her words, something about Eliza, her not wanting to let go of the bond, that she was in danger. It was that moment that my stomach dropped. Kali was talking about Eliza. I couldn’t worry my mate with that though. I tried to soothe her as best I could while trying to calm myself. It would all be okay. The goddess wouldn’t let Eliza die, would she? “It’ll all be okay.” I promised her. I was promising myself just as much that it would all come to a happy conclusion. ‘Deep breaths in, slow exhale’ I kept thinking to myself, hoping it would calm both of us if I was able to cal
