Chapter: Epilogue: AllALL 50 years laterAVA I ran my hands through my frizzy red hair, trying to tame it into a ponytail with little success. I was in decent shape for someone in my mid forties, but my body had definitely started to feel more tired with less work. Max made fun of me all the time, the jerk, but he wasn’t far behind me; just a few years and he was already going gray. Thankfully I wasn’t, but I still had my own hair woes. I dropped into a fighting stance eyeing my opponent, my Alpha, my brother as he gave me a cheeky grin before he lunged. I easily avoided him, and managed to trip him up as he went past me, thwarting his chances of skidding to a stop and turning. Instead he landed on his ass and I barked a laugh, sidling over I held out a hand to haul him up. Max was tall, just like his dad, standing at around six foot three he was compact and lea

Chapter: Epilogue 6CECELIA 10 YEARS LATERI groaned as Mike pushed deeper into me, his hard cock creating friction in my core in such a delicious way. His warm mouth latched onto my nipple as his hand held my hips still while he thrust into me. A moan fell from my lips as I was filled to the brim by my mate, my joy, my sun. His mouth left my nipple and molded to mine in a sweet kiss, that was in direct contrast to his demanding strokes in and out of my body. My hips rose to meet him stroke for stroke as we chased our bliss together, his other hand dropping to my clit as he circled it with the pad of his thumb, forcing me to cry out as I tumbled over the edge. He followed closely behind me, growling out his release as he kissed me fiercely. Before I had time to get my wits about me Zach was there, flipping me onto my stomach and looping his arm around my hips he pulled me flush against him. His hard length resting on top of my back, right

Chapter: Epilogue 5ALLIE 9 YEARS LATERI sat on the front step, basking in the sun and ruffling my feathers; clearly minding my own business when the door swung open. Ava and Max leapt over me, their shadows sailing over my head as they did so, the voices of their parents pouring from the inside of the house as I heard them calling after them to be careful. I squawked, indignant at the interruption in my sunbathing and hauled myself to my feet, settling into a new spot. Many years had passed since we had defeated Perses and sent his smelly, old ass back to where he came from. I had enjoyed my life since then, puttering around the pack lands and doing as I pleased. While I missed Lance terribly I knew he was still here, his spirit lingering to be with his friends. If I was feeling particularly spry I sometimes took a trip to the Mist pack lands, checking in on Devon; who was the new Alpha. I was rudely interrupted again when the kids shot

Chapter: Epilogue 4ZACH 6 YEARS LATERI yawned, stretching my lean body out under the covers in a starfish like fashion. Effectively kicking my brother, who grunted and rolled over in his sleep; our precious mate sandwiched between us. I considered waking her up for a moment, when a piercing shriek from the other room invaded my peace. I tossed a glance beside me, seeing both Mike and CeCe still fast asleep and got up, dragging my hand through my hair as I headed across the hallway. Ava was awake, her little fists waving angrily in the air as she hollered about food. I smiled down at the red haired demon child and scooped her up, humming as she happily nuzzled into my neck, momentarily content. Her dark haired younger brother slept soundly in the crib next to hers, his quiet snores evident now that she was calm. Knowing that the distraction would only last so long I snagged a pull up and wipes before heading to the kitchen.

Chapter: Epilogue 3MIKE 5 YEARS LATERI skipped a stone across the lake, the sun rays glinting off the still water causing me to squint. Ever since Helios I had still maintained a weird affinity to the sun, it somehow seemed to recharge me instead of drain me like it did most. The rickety dock groaned under my weight as I settled onto it, creaking and protesting. I threw another stone out, the plip plops of it skipping making me smile, leaning back on the dock I let my thoughts wander.Xavier, the librarian/scholar of the Mist pack had contacted me a few years ago, saying he thought he had a cure for me. A way to reverse the damage Jason had done and restore my Alpha status. I’d had to really consider this, what this would mean for me; and us. My wolf was smaller than Zach’s, and I smelled of an Omega but otherwise there were no differences. Physically I was more muscula

Chapter: Epilogue 2CHRISTIAN 4 YEARS LATERThis woman was going to break my damn hand, not that I blamed her. Alicia, my mate, groaned with the force of the contraction as she pushed for what had to be the millionth time. Her pain was palpable, and how I wished I could take it from her; this brutal necessity to bring our son into the world. Our son who I swore to be the best father for, to be there for him no matter what; and to teach him the best I could. Unlike my father.Before I had met Alicia my life had been sad, desolate, and meaningless. My father, an Alpha, had an affair with an Omega and I was the result. Hated by my mother and siblings, the home I was brought up in was full of hostility and hatred that was directed at me. While there was no physical abuse, not usually, the social and emotional ostracization had been damaging enough. At school my siblings, the popular kids, had made sure I w

Chapter: EPILOGUESEVERAL CENTURIES LATER CAIN “Come on Dad,” Vita taunted, flicking her long dark hair behind her shoulder. Her stance was low, feet planted firmly on the ground. I grinned at her, showing my teeth in a feral grin. My middle child was a feisty little spitfire of a Nephilim. She was so much like her mother, in looks and attitude; which is exactly why she and Yona fought constantly. Both of them headstrong, wildly intelligent and with tongues so sharp they could flay skin from bone. I glanced up briefly before lunging forward, quickly flipping her onto her back, not to be out maneuvered she landed a kick to my stomach that had me shuffling backward with the force. Beating her onyx wings she lifted herself up, a smile on her face. “Would you two stop dicking around?” My eldest son, Sabrael drawled, walking into the training ring. A small blonde human tucked up against him, her smile bright as she looked up at him. Sabrael too was a warrior like his sister, but where Vita was all bark

Chapter: Chapter 70YONA His pain was cleaving my heart in two. This tortured, beautiful man across from me deserved so much more than he was allowing himself to have. His eyes shimmered with the pain of his loss, and the knowledge tore at my soul. He was mourning, and had been for centuries; but also couldn’t move on without feeling guilty. The struggle was written all over his face and I couldn’t hesitate lest it cost me. Leaning forward I cupped his cheek, my hand brushing over the rough stubble there, before I met his chapped lips with mine. He groaned at the contact, his hands fisting at his sides as he fought his urges. I knew, I could feel, he wanted this; me. Yet he thought himself unworthy, and he had to reach his breaking point before he gave in, a point I planned to push him to. My fingers gently traced a path down his arm, resting at his wrist, my tongue flicking at the seam of his mouth, begging for entrance. In a moment I was under him, Cain having lunged forward, his arms wrapped around

Chapter: Chapter 69CAIN (Listen to HUSHH by AViVA for the vibe) Yona soared higher and higher, weaving in fluid motions through the sky. She was breathtaking, her dark hair fanning out behind her as her wings flexed and contracted; the appendages catching the light and revealing their true colors. She had come for me, I hadn’t thought she would; a broken man like me had nothing to offer her. The soul tie thrummed in my chest, demanding I go to her but I fought it; I knew it was useless and that it was dooming both of us. As time went on I became weaker, sicker and I knew she was suffering the same fate. It was selfish of me, but I couldn’t seem to help it, everytime I even thought of the tie, Verity's face swam in my mind and I was lost to my eternal grief. God's ultimate joke on me. Curse me, exile me, then give me a family only to rip them away before saddling my pathetic soul to some poor Nephilim. Not just that, one of Shamshiel’s descendants; so I could never truly escape nor be at peace. Wasn’

Chapter: Chapter 68YONA The days blurred into weeks, and weeks blurred into months. Cain had left, nowhere to be found, not that I had really tried. He didn’t want me, not that I blamed him. From what I knew of Verity she had been exceptional. A strong, sassy woman, who was not afraid to put him in his place while rejoicing in all that he was. I wasn’t stupid, a connection like that would never be forgotten, replaced, or broken; even in death. He would fight this until the last breath I was certain, and in the meantime we both got to feel like shit. Castor was pumping me full of tonics and supplements, keeping my strength and nutrients up but it was only delaying the inevitable. I sighed and leaned forward on the table, needing a minute to collect my thoughts through the brain fog that had been getting thicker and thicker the longer this went on. “Yona,” my fathers voice cut through the room, kind and gentle. I hadn’t heard him even come in, but then again he had a tendency to sneak up on people. “D

Chapter: Chapter 67YONA His eyes pierced through mine, becoming hard specks of ice as he drank me in. My feathers were ruffling in response to his scrutiny, as though trying to reassure him that it was ok. I slowly turned to fully face him, our eyes never leaving each other. Both of our hands moved to our chests, and I knew before I felt it, a soul tie, with Cain. I saw the rejection in his eyes, and felt my heart splinter at the same moment. Of course he wouldn’t be interested in fulfilling this, he had his one true love; a woman I could never compare to nor take the place of. Did I truly expect him to be happy? To fling himself into my arms and whisper sweet nothings in my ear? No. Cain was a man born of violence and bloodshed. A creature of all things dark and deadly. He wasn’t soft or gentle, he was wild and untameable; a man who only yielded to those who deserved it. As she had. Yet we both knew the consequences if we didn’t allow this bond to happen. Would he be so cruel as to force me to suff

Chapter: Chapter 66YONATWO CENTURIES LATER “ You know that’s the wrong color for that don’t you?” Castor asked me as I furiously ground the herbs in the mortar. I looked up, grinning at the old Nephilim who sat on a stool beside me. “Oh I know, but I added in some extras for an experiment,” I said around a smile. He laughed, his low chuckle warming my heart. Castor was ancient at this point, he had been old when I was born and it didn’t take a genius to know he didn’t have another century in him. He had been young when he knew Shamshiel, my fathers father, and had begun to age quicker once both of his wings were lost to him. Angels didn’t age, but Nephilim did, being that we were half human. Despite that our life spans were quite long, most Nephilim lived until 600 years or so. Castor would tell me stories of my father from when he was growing up, and quite the pain in the ass. He spoke of the war torn society of that time, of Shamshiel and his many children. Of a time when an angel or Nephilims goal

Sloane leaned into me gently, her hand finding mine easily. “Should we go save her? Or him?” She laughed and I smiled. “I think those two are evenly matched.” Nikolas stated as he wandered through Theo’s sitting room, perching on the piano as he tested a few keys. “Hmmm” he cocked his head, “needs tuning.” He

Chapter: Chapter 35A FEW WEEKS LATERSLOANE Life as a vampire was interesting to say the least. I had been lucky to have survived the turn and have James’ blood made available to me when I awoke with a powerful thirst. I hadn’t lunged for Cade per say but my fangs had elongated when I woke, wanting to be buried in someone’s neck. Cade had given me the tumbler of blood, but that hardly took the edge off. We had ventured downstairs to see what was in the cellar when Theo stopped us, offering me his neck which I didn’t even hesitate to sink my new, sharp, teeth into. It was sheer bliss as his skin parted to give way to me, his warm blood flowing into my mouth, the coppery tang sweet on my tongue. A moan sounded in my throat and I heard both men laughing at me as my cheeks flushed. Unsure of when to stop I pulled back and saw that both of them were grinning widely.

Chapter: Chapter 34CADE Sloane was glorious in her anger. Her quiet, simmering, steady rage was truly a thing of beauty. She brought the whip down on James’ face again and again as he cried out and convulsed under her ministrations. Her chest heaving with the effort, a sheen of sweat on her brow, eyes hard as steel. He was freely bleeding all over his body, the red liquid tracking down his pale skin in a macabre fashion. Again and again she brutalized him, a sinister smile twisting her pretty lips as she did so. Using each tool at her disposal she cut, sawed, pried and beat his body raw. Pride swelled in my chest, Sloane was vicious when necessary; this I knew from my extensive research on her. Seeing it in action however, that was something different entirely. She was in her element here, the darkness in her taking control and her emotions held at bay by a thin leash. I could see her wanting to lose

Chapter: Chapter 33TRIGGER WARNING: LIGHT TORTURESLOANE I chewed on the chunk of Clarence as I followed behind Emily, her long brown hair swinging with her steps as we headed to the cellar. Nikolas had gone before us, and I sensed he had needed to, he and Cade were both cut from the same cloth. Both dominant males, and of the same bloodline, the resemblance startling. The need to make James bleed was obvious in both of them, but Emily had gotten a text from Cade saying to come down and drain the bastard, so of course I trailed behind her, wanting to see what they did with him. One Clarence kebab to go clutched in one hand, no way was I giving up my snack; this would be dinner and a show. The stairs wound downward and it looked downright spooky as we descended into the depth of Theo’s house. The man himself had decided to forgo this, leaving it to the others to handle as he cleaned up after his tuss

Chapter: Chapter 32CADEI strode through the doors to the hotel, my steps as fast as possible. Not even stopping at reception, hearing them call a welcome to me as the three of us disappeared toward the elevators. The penthouses of course were on the top floor, this hotel on the bay and modest in stature compared to my others in the heart of the city. Emily was close on my heels as we bustled into the sleek metal tube, it shooting us up to where I hoped Sloane was; praying we weren’t too late. Theo had his eyes closed as he leaned against the wall of the elevator as we shot upward, Emily put a gentle hand on my arm.“I smell her,” she said, her voice quiet as we got off. So she was here, we had guessed right. Emily stepped in front of us, leading the way with her nose. Thank fuck she had a heightened sense of smell, definitely not a bad ability to have right now. Theo strolled beside

Chapter: Chapter 31SLOANE After Nikolas was taken away and I was checked for proof by Rosamaria, who made me sit against the wall with my legs up for thirty minutes after, I began to hatch a plan. The “supplies” our captors had so generously left us remained untouched at the foot of bed, so I began to go through them. I know they had been left for our pleasure or whatever, but I had a sick feeling that they had been left in case James had to take me by force for his pleasure. Restraints were in there, several different kinds. Under the bed ones as well as the typical ones you would expect for light bondage. There were all kinds of toys, plugs and flogging implements. What was with vampires and their sexual habits? I got a few things out, and placed them by the bed, trying not to let the cameras see too much though if they did hopefully they just assumed I was preparing for tonight. I plucked a plug out of the group,
