Updating early because I have some stuff to do tonight. Hope you enjoyed!
“I don’t care! This is the door that opens directly into Valhalla. They’ll eventually get through it, you said so yourself Hermes. And when it opens, I will be here and ready to get Nyx!” Nathan is adamant that he isn’t going to leave this one specific door to Valhalla. According to Hermes, Selene, and Hecate, there are places all over the globe that will open into the same realm as Valhalla, but only one opens into the castle proper. The one that Puck’s sacrifice sealed shut. It makes me a little sick to know that, even though Puck’s sacrifice saved use, it won’t keep that door closed. They’ll be able to erase his sacrifice like it was nothing. And though Puck was a pain in the ass to me, he was our pain in the ass. I miss the guy. “It’s going to be dangerous as hell around here, Nathan,” Dev says. “There’s no reason to stay here, the gods will get us to whatever opening in the blink of an eye. We’ll just have the back that levies around here keep an eye on it and call t
Zoe and I have always enjoyed dominating in the bedroom. We switch off and on and I’m usually more on than off, but the roles of submissive and dominant can be freeing for the two of us. I’m an elite warrior. Constantly training. Constantly going to competitions. Zoe is also an elite warrior. The leader of her own small pack of all female warriors. And both of us are lunas, in charge of our own section of the Moon Goddess pack. We have a lot of heavy responsibilities that take our focus day in and day out. And the roles of dominant and submissive can be really helpful in relieving some of that stress. To be a submissive, where all of the heavy choices are taken away from you and your only responsibility is to do whatever your master says. It’s freeing. To be the dominant, where your focus is completely and totally on the person that y’re with. Where nothing exists outside of them and the room that you’re in. It can serve to focus and ground you. Because Zoe i
Watching Zoe, Kaia, and Tomas run off to their tent, it’s easy to know what they’re getting ready to do. And that I’m going to either get out of earshot or find some ear plugs. When I awoke in Tartarus after Hermes had healed me, this got heated, very quickly. We didn’t have sex, but we did everything but. Feeling him kiss me, touch me, suck me. Fuck, it was one of the sexiest nights of my life. Minus the first time that I was with Alexander. And our first time together as mates. Hermes had actually been the one to stop us from going all the way. He said that he wanted to have his first time with his mates was when all four of us were together and could mark each other. Fuck! He’s sexy and sentimental. You’re killing me, Smalls! But with Jacob’s reaction…that doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen anytime soon. The problem with how Hermes and Jacob met is that Hermes was feeling himself because of how well things went with me. He also knew that JoJo and Jacob had mark
I stayed with Alex the whole plane ride. As soon as I marked him, he flipped me over and started licking my pussy until my bones felt like jelly and my throat was hoarse. And then he pushed himself inside of me and place my mark on her neck, right below the mark that Jacob placed. We had sex so many times that I passed out. It was amazing. When we were done, both of us fell asleep. When we woke as the plane landed. And Jacob was in bed with us, curled against my back. “I’m sorry for being such a pain in the ass,” he says against my hair. “It isn’t me that you have to apologize to,” I tell him. He sighs. “I know. He’s just so fucking arrogant.” He flops on his back, throwing his arm over his eyes. “But he’s not,” Alexander says. “He just thought that we were a sure thing. It made him a little cocky. But you have to have seen how sorry he was about it. How miserable he is. How miserable JoJo and I are. Hell, you’re fucking miserable as well. You two got off o
I had been getting ready to get on the plane to go back to the states with my family when I get the mindlink from JoJo. He severed them! She’s screaming in my head. JoJo? I don’t realize that I’ve said it aloud at the same time that I mindlinked her until my mate, my parents, and Hakeem, Meredith, and Gael stop and look at me. “What’s going on? What’s wrong with JoJo?” Meredith is next to me, her hand holding mine. I shake my head as I listen to her. She’s distraught, crying and screaming in my mind. He severed the bonds. All of our matebonds, he just took them away because he was pissed that I wouldn’t let him mark me. A cold chill goes through me and I can’t stop the look on my face. Everyone sees how petrified I am. “What is it, mi amore (my love)?” Esteban asks me. “Hermes. He severed the matebonds between Alexander, Jacob, and JoJo,” I whisper. I hear the outrage around me, the despair and despondency inside my head. It’s almost too much. Through the mindlink,
***TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS NONCONSENUAL SEXUAL ACTS, UP TO AND INCLUDING RAPE. PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!!*** It feels like I’ve been here for weeks, months, possibly even close to a year. I don’t do anything unless I’m forced to do it: eat, speak, bathe, dress. And every time that it happens, the only person who can force me is Lucifer. Because the sadistic fuck has allowed me free movement and access to my powers. He’s allowed me to be able to hurt his minions, but his power is too much for me to hurt him. Even with the crazy increases that I’ve felt in my powers since I’ve been here. I’ve noticed that even the smallest magicks now hold immense power. I barely had to think that I wish the red cap that brought me food would shut up when its mouth completely disappeared from its face. It hadn’t returned until Lucifer appeared to coax me through giving it back. He easily could have done it. But he told me I needed to learn how to fix my mistakes,
I can’t keep my mind off of Nyx. How scared she must be. How hopeless she must feel. What he’s doing to her. What might happen if I can’t find her. How I failed her. I’m staring at the woods, in the direction of the gates of Valhalla when Dad claps me on the shoulder. I turn towards him, thankful that I had smelled him beforehand. My father knows how to sneak up on someone. He’s quiet and stealthy all the damn time. Leftovers from the war and fighting the Riding Hoods. “Hey, son. How ya holding up?” he asks me. I rub a hand down my face. “Not so hot.” “I figured, but I had to ask. Are you ready to work with these European wolves?” Dad asks me. “I’m ready to do anything that’s going to help Nyx. I don’t care what I have to do. I’d go into the depths of Tartarus myself if I could,” I tell him. “I know, pup. I know,” he says and he pulls me into his arms, holding me while I shake, trying to keep in the sobs that are threatening to spill out. “We’ll do everything tha
It’s been two hours since Nathan went to the Astral Plane. Bella stopped in to check on them after he had been there for an hour, but found the couple talking to each other in low voices and snuggling on a couch. She elected to allow Nathan to stay there for another hour. He and Bella are emerging from his tent right now. “How is she?” I ask my best friend when he gets close. It’s easy to see that he’s been crying, but just as easy to see that spending that time with his mate has helped him a lot. I want to give him a hug, but Nathan doesn’t always welcome that kind of affection when he’s this upset. “She’s hanging in as best as she can. I think that seeing someone other than her tormentors was really helpful,” he tells me. “Bro, it’s got nothing to do with seeing ‘someone’ and everything to do with seeing you,” I tell him, clapping him on the shoulder and squeezing. He actually blushes a bit, a small smile crawling over his face. “She told me that she loves me.” At t
