last update Last Updated: 2022-12-21 06:00:48

After two hours of waiting and listening to the sounds of the ocean waves crashing against the cliffs and the many conversations going on through the supposed soundproof walls, the door finally opens, and I hold my breath as Yildiz enters. How does she look more beautiful each time I see her? My eyes trail over her body of their own accord taking in every glittering piece of her. Her body is looking curvaceous and tempting in a grey workout bra with matching leggings and sneakers. I can smell her sweat embedded in the fabric, yet not a trace of sweat on her. Her thick, voluminous hair is up high in a ponytail and flowing all around her, but once I look upon her liquid gold eyes, all I see is exhaustion and my heart sinks. Did I do this to her? Morrtemis is right, I am a moron.

“Get out,” she says, closing the door behind her.

I blink back my surprise, “Yildiz, just let me explain. You have every right to be upset–”

“I don’t need your permission to be upset with you,” she says looki

  • A Queen Among Blood   Chapter 24: Seeing Fear - Yildiz

    I’m walking down one of the hallways in the Kartheca telling myself to turn back, but no matter how hard I try, my feet keep carrying me forward. Looking around I see the vibrant red and gold carpet with blue and green accents that line the floor of the hallway, and the walls are lined with stunning tiles of cyan blue. Fear is building inside me like a kettle reaching boiling point. I know I’m having a nightmare and I’m willing myself to wake up, but nothing is happening. As my feet continue to pull me forward the sound of moaning makes its way to my ears, and I feel a sinking sensation in my stomach. I try once again to stop walking or to turn around, but I keep moving forward. I make my way towards a partially open door where the sounds of moaning and grunting increase in volume, and my arms with a mind of their own push the door open. Bile rises in my throat as I my sister Ceren laying on the bed, her cream and glittery gold body naked and exposed, her strawberry blonde hair fiste

    I slam shut another book in the library and lay my head on my arms. I just feel like I’m going around in circles. I’ve become the ouroboros at this point and I don’t mean that in a positive way. How does eating your own tail represent wholeness anyway? Whose dumb idea was that? “You look stressed.” I glance up to see my sister Hiranur’s gamboge and glittering gold aura. “I am stressed,” I sigh. “What are you researching?” she asks, coming closer. “Trying to find anything on supernatural beings that can invade people’s minds, but I’m not finding anything I don’t already know,” I say, pushing the book away in frustration. “Hmm, a makkari could. A visum could if they were granting a wish. A God definitely could, but that seems like a waste of their time. Why are you looking this up anyway? Is it a mission you’re working on?” she asks curiously. “A personal mission, you could say,” I answer evasively. “I get it, you don’t want to talk about it… want to go for a swim instead?” she of

    It’s been two days since I saw Yildiz, and that’s not because I am avoiding her. I told her I would return, and I plan on keeping that promise, but she was right. I have been indecisive and it’s not fair to her. If I do return to her it has to be clear what I want, and that’s why I took the time to decide. If I remove all the voices in my head telling me why this is wrong, why this will only end badly, then all I’m left with is an overwhelming need to be with her. I don’t even care that we’re two completely different species, if Zarseti believed it can work then it has to. Yildiz is strong and wilful. She’s passionate and compassionate and sees things in ways I haven’t in a very long time. When I’m near her I feel light and at peace, but I also feel a desire unlike anything I’ve ever known, and that’s saying something. She drives me to madness and simultaneously pulls me from its clutches. She’s everything I never knew I wanted or needed and for some crazy reason she wants me, and th

    Yildiz isn’t in her room, which isn’t unusual, but instinct is telling me something is wrong. I can feel it deep in my being that something is wrong with Yildiz. I focus all my thoughts on Yildiz and right away I find myself in what appears to be an infirmary. A massive and luxurious infirmary with hundreds of beds, but I’m only concerned with one. I can smell Yildiz’s blood in the air and while part of me finds it alluring, another part is enraged by it. If he hurt her… “What the hell is going on?” I almost growl out as I step towards the bed surrounded by irshiusts. As soon as I speak they all turn to me taking a defensive stance around something that makes me feel like my heart has been ripped out and pulverised. Yildiz is lying unconscious as two makkares appear to be healing her. I want to throw up. I don’t even know if I can throw up, but I want to. “Who are you and how did you get in here?” demands an irshiust with soft Korean features, peachy-white skin with glittering gold a

    Osiah still hasn’t returned, but I’m not worried. He wasn’t lying when he said he would return, so I have faith that he will. The man sure loves to test my patience but I’ll crack his hard exterior soon enough. I’ll find my way to the chewy middle and learn all his secrets… now I have a craving for some künefe. I wonder if we have any left in the kitchen. To keep myself busy and distracted I’m once again in the library. This time I’m multi-tasking. I’m looking through books that have a historical account of certain magics that have been used over the centuries, focusing specifically on dream magic. I’ve found a few that come close to my situation, but there aren’t enough similarities to lead me to believe they are the same. I’m also looking through what we have on the Orraikam and its history, to see if that might shed a light on who went near it. Every twelve hours my sisters swap shifts guarding the Orraikam and since we’ve been guarding it there hasn’t been another break-in, but

    The moon is full and high in the sky, illuminating the garden around me with its brilliant glow. I’m standing on a large, round platform that is a large Turkish mosaic and surrounding me are gorgeous flowers in bloom. The garden is filled with colour, each one looking ethereal and majestic in the light of the moon. I never knew the garden looked so stunning. I can see the Kartheca in the distance, but no lights are on, making the castle appear cold and desolate, sending a chill through my bones. “So beautiful and fragile, much like yourself,” I hear a familiar voice behind me. I slowly turn and standing admiring some purple crocuses is the bastard who continues to take the face of my animai. He wants me to hate him, to fear him. He can take his face, but he’ll never be Osiah in all the ways that matter. He can’t replicate all the things that identify Osiah to me. Without those things, I will never believe he is Osiah. “Why are you doing this to me?” I demand, standing my ground, “I k

    “I’ve never spoken to anyone about this. There are people who know, but it wasn’t because I told them, so this makes you the first,” I begin as I sit up and drag my hands down my face. The moment my life went to shit has played itself over and over in my nightmares. I look back on that night and think of all the ways I would change it, but I can’t. “Take your time, I’m not going anywhere,” she assures me as she sits up with me. She’s looking at me with so much patience. Not an ounce of judgement on her face. Yet. She reaches out, takes my hand, and intertwines her fingers with mine sending glorious heat through my palm. She’s soothing me and keeping me grounded and for that I’m grateful. I reach out and gently brush my thumb against her glittering, freckled cheek and watch her eyes gently close. I’ll never get tired of that reaction. “I’m a monster, Yildiz,” I say flatly, causing her to open her eyes, “But I wasn’t always like this.” I take in a deep breath and relax a little when s

    Her hands fist my shirt as she rips it from my body, and I respond by lifting her by her ass. Our lips continue their rhythm as she wraps her legs around me and with one hand I rip her blouse open. As she removes the tattered fabric from her torso my hand cups and squeezes her right breast and she lets out a salacious moan that goes right to my groin. I move us pressing her against the glass that surrounds her room as I trail my kisses down her jaw and down to her neck. “Tell me what you want,” I whisper as I suck her earlobe between my lips and press my hardened cock against her. She lets out a soft moan as she fists her fingers into my hair, “You… inside me. Right now,” she demands breathlessly. Effortlessly I rip her bra from her body and admire her spectacular full breasts as they rise and fall with every breath she takes. I lean my head down and take one of her dark nipples into my mouth, sucking and teasing it with my tongue as she mewls from my touch. I want to hear her like

  • A Queen Among Blood   Chapter 73: New Begining

    Oshmin POV Time slips away as I hold Yildiz in my arms, but soon she is springing up on her feet and quickly undressing before me, which I am not complaining about. “What are you doing?” I ask, as my eyes remain glued in captivation as I watch each piece of fabric disappear from her body leaving only exquisite, glittering mocha curves behind. “If you think I’m just going to sit and stare at a stunning, magical oasis like this and not get in, you’re out of your mind,” she says with glee and promptly dives into the water. The golden glitter of her skin now looking all the more stunning under the twinkling aquamarine waters. Eager to join her, with a snap of my fingers my clothes are in a pile beside me, and I am diving into the water with her. We both break the surface and instantly she begins splashing me. “Oh, you want to play it like that? Game on,” I smirk as I use a fraction of my energy to send a decent-sized wave of water at her. “Hey! That’s cheating,” she pouts, wiping the

  • A Queen Among Blood   Chapter 72: Realm of the Gods

    Oshmin POV The last few days have been filled with more drama. I used to think my life was very dramatic, but I couldn’t have been more wrong. I spent eons reliving one dramatic – or traumatic – experience and believed it followed me everywhere, but after what I’ve experienced in the last few weeks while being with Yildiz, I realise my life was incredibly mundane. We Gods do the bare minimum and then call it a day, Yildiz and her sisters are trying to solve a hundred problems at once and trying to save thousands, if not millions, of lives a day. The miraculous thing is they never complain, and I mean REALLY complain. One bad thing happened to me, and I never shut up about it. Irshiusts see the worst in people and the world around them, take care of the sick, wounded and mistreated and are witness to horrors no being should ever witness, and they do it all with compassion and tolerance – to a degree. They save lives every single day and hardly get so much as a thank you, but they cont

    As I make my way down to the cells that reside deep under the Kartheca, I can already hear the voices of my sisters deep within the earthly confines. I take my final step and begin walking down the corridor when the sound of someone’s approaching footsteps gain my attention. “Let me the fuck out of here!” screams the inhabitant of the cell to my right. I stop and turn to face the dim lime-green aura with its faded olive-green hue now standing before me. “I see the concept of a life sentence still confuses you,” I say casually. “I’m an Alpha! Who the fuck do you think you are to treat me like this?” he says as I hear the sound of him hocking up phlegm. I tilt my head to the left just as I hear the wad of phlegm fly past me and hit the wall behind me. That is beyond disgusting. “You were an Alpha and a despicable one at that. Ivan, allow me to remind you that you lost your title the moment you were brought into our custody and a new Alpha was appointed of your pack. Not only are you

    Oshmin POV “Are you done with your inner thoughts, or would you like a little more time?” Yildiz asks in a bored tone. I roll my eyes, “Anyone ever tell you how annoying that is?” “Truth be told, I didn’t come here to bust your cosmic balls. I know you and Yildiz have hashed it out and you have been brutally honest. Things are looking up for the two of you and for that I am thrilled. What happened is in the past. Actually, all of that isn’t why I’m here now,” she admits, her tone becoming serious. I sit forward and give her my undivided attention, “I know that look. That’s the look of you’re about to drop a cryptic bomb on me.” “Am I that transparent?” she says with a wry smile. “No, I’ve just known you a long time. What’s going on?” I ask, cutting to the chase. “When I told you I gave you an animai because I wanted you to be happy, that wasn’t a lie.” “Never thought it was…” I say tentatively. “That being said, I had additional reasons for wanting you to be happy.” Her face

    Oshmin POV I lay back with my arms under my head already missing Yildiz being wrapped in my arms. As I stare through the glass walls of her room at the stunning view outside, I can’t help but become frustrated. I’m a cosmic being with the power to give Yildiz all the answers she seeks, but because of my own idea to prevent us Gods from meddling, I’m stuck laying here unable to do a single thing to help her. I feel like I shot myself in the foot before ever even realising it. “You made the right call, Oshmin,” I suddenly hear Zarseti’s voice. I look over to see the fuchsia-haired Goddess standing off to the side in a rather stunning purple kaftan with gold beading across the bust and shoulders and lined down the arms and framing the sleeves. “What is with you and the kaftan collection?” I enquire. She walks over and leans against the window, ignoring my question. “Even my daughters need to learn life is not about cutting corners or taking the easy way. We all have our own destinies

    The sound of urgent fists pounding against my bedroom door pulls me from my wonderful sleep, but as my senses wake up one by one, I take in the pleasurable heat brought by being nestled in my animai’s arms and his intoxicating scent. I want to stay like this forever, but the pounding is relentless. “I get the feeling they won’t go away until you answer the door,” says Oshmin in a sleepy voice. I groan and bury myself deeper against his side. “Make them go away,” I grumble. “They’re your sisters, you make them go away,” he argues, turning his back to me and depriving me of my cosy snuggle spot. I pout and land a jab to his back that causes me to wince and shake my hand as my finger throbs in protest. Stupid indestructible God. “I bet that hurt you more than it hurt me,” he lazily mocks. “Smartass,” I mutter. Begrudgingly I fling off the covers, get up and make my way to the bedroom door. I open it and finally bring the pounding to a halt. “Was all of that really necessary?” I ask

  • A Queen Among Blood   Chapter 67: Winding Down

    Oshmin POV I lay in Yildiz’s bed captivated by her every move as she changes into very fitted sky-blue satin shorts and a matching camisole for bed. I could watch her do the most mundane things for all time and never get bored. Is that because of the bond or simply because I love her? I guess I don’t care really. “I just have to take off my makeup and then I’m done.” “I could help,” I offer. “You want to take my makeup off for me?” she asks with a questioning eyebrow. I shrug, “Only if you want me to. I would be more effective though,” I point out. “Hmm. Good point. Okay, time to become the God of Makeup Removal,” she says as she saunters to the bathroom. I let out a loud laugh at her new title for me. Morrtemis would love that. I get up and follow her into the bathroom and look at all the products laid out on the counter. It’s like a chemistry lab in here. “Um, maybe I could just use magic,” I suggest. “Nope. You’re going to do it like I do. Now get to work,” she orders, but

  • A Queen Among Blood   Chapter 66: Dinner with the In-Laws

    Oshmin POV She wraps her elbow around mine and escorts me out of the door. This is a literal case of the blind leading the blind as Yildiz navigates our way through the Kartheca effortlessly, since I don't know my way around, before arriving at two gigantic doors. I can hear the voices inside that have now dropped to a whisper as we began to approach. Yildiz is right, people who can speak telepathically should just do so and save themselves the embarrassment. Yildiz pushes open one of the doors and guides me into the vastest dining hall I’ve ever seen. Pristine white marbled floors, with square marble pillars lining either side of the lengthy room. The spaces between the pillars are open and blanketed by curtains of white chiffon that dance gently in the breeze from outside. The vaulted ceiling is intricately carved and depicts the origins of every single supernatural being that exists. There are carved statues of women powerfully posed at the top of each pillar and it takes me a mo
