Remiel’s POVAll of those years wasted, hating my Uncle for every bad thing that happened to me, and to him, and none of it was his fault. Guilt wracks me at the harsh treatment I put him through instead of seeing that he wasn’t acting like himself. I should have known that something was wrong. I should have known that my Uncle wouldn’t behave in that way.And now, I face succumbing to the same spell that almost destroyed my Uncle a millenia ago. A thought crosses my mind at that.“Is it possible that Eve had placed my Father under the same spell as the one that Uncle Luc was under?”Realization dawns on Uncle Luc’s face as he leans back in his seat to think. “That would explain a lot actually.” His eyes meet mine. “My brother was acting unusual for a few weeks, almost destroyed his family when your mother found out about his obsession with another woman. That alone was highly unusual for my goody two-shoes brother. He was always such a party pooper as the kids say.”“Is it possible t
Remiel’s POV“What if he didn’t actually know about the spell that was cast on him and created the prison to keep her all to himself?” Kenji suggests, shrugging his shoulders like it made all the sense in the world. I stare at my fellow mate, dumbfounded. Could it be that simple? Uncle Luc did say that my Father was obsessed with Eve and wanted to keep her to himself. “It would explain why she was still able to use magic even while being trapped within the barrier.” Jamari frowns in concentration. “It’s not like she would have been able to teleport out of the Gardens even if she did have control of her powers.”“So my Mother summons my Father to the Garden under the guise of being trapped.” “To be fair, she actually was trapped within the walls of the Garden of Eden.” Kenji interrupts Levi, receiving a scowl from him, to which Kenji responds with a grin. Would I ever be as comfortable with our relationship as these two appear to be? I know I would do anything to make Jamari happy,
Levi’s POV I have learned more about my Father and his past today than I did in the hundred years that he was around after my birth. I have seen a completely different side to him, a side that I only ever caught glimpses of as a child. I will never forgive my Mother for taking this away from me. And for what? Power? What was her end goal? I glance up at Remiel’s still form. He’s also learned a lot about his parents today, things that will take time to digest and come to terms with. “My mother thought to smooth things over with Seraphina and her family by having her marry my brother instead. His agreement to the marriage is what hurt the most, but I’m sure he had his reasons.” A deep sigh moves past my Father’s lips. “My biggest regret is not mending things sooner with God, maybe I could have prevented a lot of bad things from happening.” “We all think like that at some point in our long lives.” Rieka leans over the table, extending her arm in front of me towards my Father who gr
Jamari’s POV“Before we go there is one more matter for you to attend to Red.” Levi says as he rises from the table. “Do you feel up to it?” A smile spreads across my face at the thought of becoming one with Remiel. I nod my head, snuggling further into Remiel’s arms.“You know where your bedroom is Levi.” Lucifer says, also rising from the table, taking a moment to stretch out his back. “I shall take my leave.” He turns his body in my direction, bowing slightly, his right hand over his heart. “Until we meet again my dear.”“I will find a way to set you free.” Determination in my voice as I make this vow.Lucifer smiles at me softly. “If anyone can do it, it is you.” Without missing a beat, he turns towards Levi, slapping him on the back before grabbing hold of his right shoulder. “It was good to see you son.” Emotions causing his voice to rise an octave.Levi reaches over, pulling his father into a tight hug. “You too Dad. I’m sorry…” Before he can finish, Lucifer cuts him off. “Let’
Kenji’s POVAfter replacing Jamari’s hand back on her thigh, I watch in aww as the marking ceremony, so different than a werewolf’s, takes place. Jamari reaches her right hand up, placing it on Remiel’s chest, over where his heart is. Her power begins to swirl around us like it did before, stronger in its intensity from the mix of Remiel’s power. “Ut medietates simul usque ad consummationem saeculi.” Blue light fills the room as Jamari’s power rushes out of her, filling every available space, suffocating in its intensity. Remiel’s eyes widen in surprise at the feel of Jamari’s palm landing on his chest.The branding on my chest from earlier begins to heat up once again, pulling a gasp from my lips, an answering gasp from Levi lets me know he’s feeling the heat as well. Our eyes lock over top of Jamari’s head as we ready ourselves for what comes next. “Hoc tibi roveo.” Jamari and Remiel both chant together as one, sending a blast of their power throughout the room. Blue and yellow l
Jamari’s POV“We have been searching the Ruins for hours and we still haven’t found the secret room that Athena told me about.” I sigh, plopping down in a chair, depleted of my energy from this morning. I need to find the secret room as soon as possible in order to free Remiel from his current situation. “Well you’re not going to find anything sitting there on your bum.” Levi chuckles, pinching the side of my ass through the sides of the chair.“Ouch.” I growl, jumping from my seated position. “That hurt.” A pout forms on my face as I rub my ass in the spot that he pinched. “All for the greater good Sweetheart.” A wicked gleam brightens his galaxy orbs as they swirl with mirth. I turn my pout in Kenji’s direction, but get nothing but an apologetic smile out of him before he continues to search the bookshelf. I cross my arms over my chest, my pout becoming more pronounced. “You’re supposed to be on my side.” I grumble, getting a chuckle from both my Kings. “I am on the side of free
Levi’s POVSmelling the fear rolling off of my mother in huge waves sends shivers of excitement throughout my body from my Demon. I’ve only ever called my Demon form fully forth one other time, but even then it felt nothing like this. The power flowing through my veins is nothing that I’ve ever felt from myself before.And the connection with my Demon, it is way stronger than ever before. Almost as if I could talk to him if I wanted to. Something that no Demon’s are able to do as far as I know. Something has definitely changed within me, and I have a feeling it is connected to Jamari and the unusalness of my Demon Brand. “If you attack me here you will be killed by the magic flowing through this place.” My mother tells me, her brave face that she put on barely concealing her terror at coming face to face with my true form. “But you would be dead before this placcce could finish me off.” Leaves my lips of their own accord. ‘Don’t do anything stupid Demon.’ Floats through my mind mom
Jamari’s POV“I said to KNEEL BEFORE YOUR KING.” Ren growls at the three lycan wannabe’s, his power fusing with his words, sending shivers of pleasure down my spine, heat pooling between my thighs. “You are beneath me. Now turn back to your human forms.” His command swirling around us, enhancing my arousal, causing my nipples to harden to a peak.The sound of bones breaking and rearranging fills the room as the lycans shift back into their human forms, their panting filling the room around us.Ren stands as tall as the room will allow him, staring down at the three wolves, rage filling his eyes. ‘I know I said that Levi is my favorite…but damn is the Lycan King sexy when he is angry.’ Rieka shivers with pleasure within my mind, her eyes focused on the massive beast standing between us and the threat.‘Ren sure is something to look at that’s for sure.’ I tell her, also admiring the massive beast that I’ve grown to adore. “I hope you checked out my Demon form as intensely as you’re che
