Miall"Where are you guys going?" I asked Amanah as she held Amira and Auri's hands.They were dressed in matching pink sun dresses, and Amanah wore a cute hat while the twins rocked pink bow hairpins.My girls are beautiful!"We're going on a girl's date," Amanah said as she smiled. "We're just waiting on Maniah.""Alright, let me get my keys, and we'll go together," I said as I pointed to the kitchen, and the girls voiced their opinions."No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no," Auri shook her head as she waved her small hands."You stay right here," Amari warned as she pointed a finger at me."It's a girl's date, Dad," Maniah said as she passed me; unlike the three, she wore jeans and an oversized hoodie."What are you wearing?" Her mother asked as she took in her attire. "I thought we agreed on wearing sun dresses?""No, the three of you agreed on wearing pink clothes, and I agreed to come along," Maniah shrugged as she raised her book.Amanah pouted and rolled her eyes."Teenagers," s
I wiped the counter despite my annoyance with my job today. On all the days this bar could be full, it chose today—it wasn’t even by my regular, well-mannered customers. It was a bunch of college kids, and all they could do was make noise and spill their drinks all over my counter. My counter!“You should plaster a smile on that face, Amanah,” I stared at my boss, Frank, annoyed. He laughed as he flipped the cocktail shaker in the air and caught it with his right hand behind his back. Psshh, show off. “You might murder someone.”“Yeah, and that might be you,” I snapped, and he smiled as he poured the drink into the glass and winked at the girls who watched him. They swooned. A cocky smile grew on his clean face. Argh, it is so annoying!I was not used to seeing Frank without his beard; he didn’t look bad, but he looked so different. He almost looked...younger. I continued wiping the counter and looked outside, counting the hours to when I could finally return home.“Have you noticed th
“Where?” I whispered as I looked around my surroundings—where was I? There were people behind the woman who stood in front of me; they were seated as if they were part of a council of some sort.Oh no, am I about to be a sacrifice?“Nioz, my child,” she smiled, and my smile slowly grew as I stared at her. I chuckled and scratched my head.I was a sacrifice, wasn't I? She referred to me as 'child', and I sat in the middle of the room, half-naked with my breasts spilling over the top of my satin nightdress.“It’s either I am dead, or I am dreaming, because I don’t know who you are and where I am,” I said and she shook her head smiling.“You are in Nioz, a planet in a different realm than the one you’re from, Earth, I believe it is called,” she explained, and that had me convinced she was crazy. I laughed and clapped my hands.“Did Frank break into my apartment and take me into an asylum because I was seeing black butterflies?” I asked the woman.She was wearing a long red dress that reac
Miall“Don’t scare the girl, Miall. Show her around her new home,” my mother said, and Amanah still looked shocked at what she had heard. How did this happen?“Wait, will I really be pregnant for six months only?” she pulled on the jacket that was around her shoulders.“Well, for only five now, so your time is almost up,” I crossed my arms over my chest, and my mom slapped my head. “What did you do that for!” I yelped, and she ground her teeth together.“I said stop scaring the girl,” she said in a low voice, glaring at me.“Last I checked, I was the Alpha of this pack,” I grumbled, rubbing my head; it didn’t hurt, but it did sting. My mother raised her eyebrow at me and said,“Alpha to who?” That scary face was replaced with a kind smile as she looked at Amanah. “We don’t know for sure yet since this is the first time it’s happened in our pack.” “Oh,” she breathed, and a smirk grew on her face. “That would still be enough time for me either way,” she said. “I’ve heard that pregnancy
AmanahOnce I was sure Miall had left the house, I left that dry-ass room for his spacious one. I took a shower in his bathroom and graciously borrowed his shirt. Feeling clean and refreshed, I went to get something to eat from his kitchen. This was a massive mistake because I had no idea what all this was. His freezer was mainly stocked with red meat, but I had no idea what animal that came from or what any item in this fridge came from. Where's my guide when I need him?I certainly didn’t trust the milk because what fucking animal was this on the packaging? I opened up his cabinet drawers and found something I was sure was from Earth. He had all sorts of snacks that I wasn't very familiar with, but I still decided to eat them either way. I contemplated pouring a glass of water, but then again, the lake was purple. Perhaps that was the safest?I climbed up the stairs with my arms filled with snacks, kicked open his bedroom door, well, my new bedroom door and skipped to his bed after
I woke up alone in the bed, and as much as I hated to admit it, I kind of thought I’d find Miall next to me, but he wasn’t. Another one-night stand, how exciting.With a shrug, I got off the big bed and made my way downstairs after doing half of my hygiene morning routine. My first night in Nioz wasn't so bad, it was quite warm, to be honest, but it wasn't home.Perhaps I could ask Miall to help me make my stay much more comfortable; after all, I was pregnant with a child. AHHH! HOW COULD I FALL PREGNANT? On my way to asking Miall millions of questions, I heard talking. I was not a wolf or anything superb, but I did have good hearing, and I knew what sounded like a woman giggling in the kitchen. He sleeps with me and makes a woman laugh the next morning? What a smooth man.I slowly walked into the kitchen and none of them acknowledged my presence as they talked to each other with stupid smiles plastered on their faces. All giggly and hearty eyes, I don't like that. Miall was shirtless
I walked into the packhouse with Willow's hand in mine when I the laughter from the kitchen welcomed us. She's here. Entering the kitchen, I found my mother, Malakhi, and Amanah having a blast together, as if they had always been the closest.Amanah looked very different from when she left the house. She had changed into an oversized hoodie and a pair of tights. She sat beside Malakhi, facing my mother as she talked to them. Was she wearing Malakhi's hoodie? That wasn't the point, and I had been an ass to let her leave the house crying.“Oh, hi there,” my mother said sweetly, raising her mug to her lips.Shit. “I’m going to kill you,” she said through the mind link, and I smiled as I waved my hand. Of course, I'm in trouble again.“Hi, everyone,” I greeted softly, and it seemed my presence had turned the room grim. Amanah just stared at us before turning around to face my mother. “Hey,” Malakhi bit out and faced away as well. “Oh, come on, don’t tell me you’re mad too?” I asked him
“This is your place?” Malakhi asked as he looked around my small apartment. “It’s tiny,” he grimaced, and I threw a pillow at him.“Not all of us are friends with royalty,” I said, and Malakhi laughed. “Now help me pack,” I stood on my toes, trying to reach for my bag, but of course, with his help, I was easily handed my bag. He was handy.“Do you promise to show me around once we’re done?” He asked with a puppy dog look, and I rolled my eyes, pushing him away from me. Nyleve was right, this man was a sucker for Earth.“Only if you help me, which you are not doing,” I took out my clothes from the closet, and he chuckled as he helped me pack up some stuff. Malakhi was a pretty funny person, or wolf, should I say. After he found me crying outside, which was very dramatic, he took me to the Pack House, where Nyleve lived. She was kind enough to give me her hoodie and pants.While we sat together, they made me feel better after the whole shit show with Miall and his girlfriend, whose na
Miall"Where are you guys going?" I asked Amanah as she held Amira and Auri's hands.They were dressed in matching pink sun dresses, and Amanah wore a cute hat while the twins rocked pink bow hairpins.My girls are beautiful!"We're going on a girl's date," Amanah said as she smiled. "We're just waiting on Maniah.""Alright, let me get my keys, and we'll go together," I said as I pointed to the kitchen, and the girls voiced their opinions."No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no," Auri shook her head as she waved her small hands."You stay right here," Amari warned as she pointed a finger at me."It's a girl's date, Dad," Maniah said as she passed me; unlike the three, she wore jeans and an oversized hoodie."What are you wearing?"

"Woah, it's really her," I heard as I felt tiny fingers touch my face and giggles.What's going on?"When was the last time we saw her?" Another voice sniffled, and I heard a thud."Stop crying, Kenji," a softer voice said as she hiccupped."What are you all doing here? She's resting," that voice.I knew it all too well.It belonged to the owner of the phone that was in my pocket.Wait a minute, where are my pockets? I touched my sides and felt a soft, silky material covering my body.Waking up, I blinked as I stared at the ceiling."She's up. Shhh," one of them said, a younger male. Two faces that looked alike stared at me with gummy smiles, and I frowned."Why did you guys put Amira and Auri on her bed?" Miall scolded as he walked closer to the bed."They just climbed on their own. They're old enough to do that already," the soft voice said as she took the other baby away from me.Sitting up, I held my head and groaned, feeling a slight ache. Looking around the room, my eyes paused o
I wiped the counter thoughtlessly as I stared ahead. On all the days this bar could be empty, it chose today?Only a few regulars were here and none of them were exciting."You should plaster a smile on that face, Amanah," I stared at Frank with an annoyed look, and he laughed as he flipped the cocktail shaker in the air and caught it with his right hand behind his back, show off."What are you even doing here?""I came to help," I whined as I leaned against the counter and stared at Frank as he worked."You're scaring my customers away; look attractive," he scolded, and I widened my eyes."But I am attractive," I pulled my overalls and stared at him, disappointed. "Anyway, I had this dream, right," I started excitedly, and he put his hand up."Tell me all about it after you serve that customer over there. He only ever comes here whenever you visit," he said, and I raised my eyebrow."So you think it's safe for me to go serve a potential stalker?""Uh, yes. I have bills to pay, Miss Mi
Third Person"What caused you to wake up, Supreme Goddess?" Seifer asked as he stood up from his kneeling position."All the persons I created from my guilt have finally passed on, so that freed me from my prison," Lunaria smiled as she answered."Are you really free from your guilt?" Ylil asked as she glared at Lunaria."No," Lunaria answered simply. "Are you free from your guilt, Ylil?" She asked as she stared into her eyes."I have none," Ylil bit out, and Lunaria nodded as she looked around her temple."That is sad," she whispered.Her eyes landed on Miall, who was still having a hard time breathing. He pressed his head on the ground, writhing in pain."You're the one that's sad!" Ylil shouted, and all the other gods gave her a warning look.Even though they didn't agree with Lunaria's decisions, they still were obligated to protect her."I know," Lunaria said as she kept her eyes on Miall's form. "What's wrong with them?" She asked as she pointed to Miall. "Why have you sealed Ori
Lunaria POV"Are you just gonna stand by the door?" I asked.The day was so heavy today and I was truly exhausted. I lay on my bed face-front refraining from screaming."It's so crazy how you've become so aware of everything since you became the Supreme Goddess," Orion chuckled as he entered my room."I have eyes everywhere now," I said. "And they're all weeping," I whispered as I got up and faced him."Come on, it's not that bad," he smiled as he sat beside me, and pressed a soft kiss on my shoulder. "You're just under a lot of stress.""I really thought I'd just be a disciple at best, Ylil is most suited for this role," I said as I leaned against him."You've been saying that for three years already, but you were chosen for this role because you have something Ylil doesn't have," he said as he massaged my head."What is it that I have besides being terrible at making decisions? I'm not even a scholar," I grumbled. "That feels really good," I sighed closing my eyes."You're empathetic.
Orion held my hips as we kissed in the dark alleyway, his hands slowly trailing down my thighs to my ass, where he gently squeezed.Lifting me up and pressing against the wall, he grunted as he sucked on my tongue and pressed himself against me.I moaned as his hand rubbed my thigh softly, his teeth bit into my bottom lip, and I pressed my chest against his.Pulling away from the kiss, Orion stared at me with drunk eyes, and I believe I gave him just a lust-filled gaze. Without saying anything, he helped me down and held my hand, guiding me through the alleyway.Orion would occasionally squeeze my hand, and I would squeeze his back just to let him know I was okay. I couldn't believe that had happened. Was he mad? Did he like it as much as I did? I want to kiss again.Biting onto my bottom lip, I sighed softly, feeling the pain from his bite. Orion turned around and stared at my lips. Moving in closer, he held my chin and released my bottom lip from between my teeth."Don't do that," he
ℭ𝔢𝔫𝔱𝔲𝔯𝔦𝔢𝔰 𝔄𝔤𝔬"So, how was the exam!?" Ylil asked me as she wrapped her arm around my shoulder and exited the examination centre."Argh, don't even ask me about it! At this rate, I won't even make it to being a disciple," I groaned as I wrapped my arm around her waist."That bad, huh?" She whispered as she held me tighter."Seriously bad," I whispered, feeling the tears form."I probably will just be a normal human by next month," I gulped as I roughly wiped my tears."Aria," she said softly."Enough about me, how was the exam for you!?""Hmm, it was okay," she nodded and I knew she was saying it was okay so that I wouldn't have to feel alone."It was super easy, wasn't it?" I asked her, smiling, and she clenched her teeth."Yeah, sorry," she whispered, and I laughed, shaking my head."You don't have to be sorry that I was born a bit dumber than you," I joked, and she stopped walking, looking furious. She hated it when I would be negative or mean to myself."A bit challenged
Third Person"What just happened?" Evander whispered as he stared at the broken window where Orion stood. "Where's Amanah?"Looking at Ylil, she had an unreadable expression as she held Auri in her arms, and Miall stared out the broken window blankly.Evander ran downstairs.Reaching where she had fallen, his steps slowed as he looked around the courtyard."What the?" He panicked as he looked for her. "Where is she?" He looked up at the third floor, wondering if he had been deceived."Hmm?" Ylil groaned as she looked at the spot where Amanah's lifeless body was supposed to be."Where is she?" She gritted as she stared at Evander."I should be asking you! I knew you were a sketchy bitch the moment you showed up," Evander roared, pointing his finger at Ylil. "And you!"He turned to face Miall.Evander felt rage coursing through his veins; his heart broke for Amanah. He knew what it was like to be killed by someone you loved."How could you do that to her?" He asked as he approached him.
I stared at the huge statue that Evander had fished from the water. It looked exactly like the one I saw in my dream when drowning in the ocean."So, nothing?" Evander asked as he put his hands on his hips, waiting expectedly.I slowly shook my head and gave him an apologetic look."No, I can't sense anything. It's just stone," I shrugged, and he sighed as he dropped his head."Just stone?" He squeaked out as he kicked a rock on the ground. "She's just stone!""Maybe it needs sacrifice?" I tried, and he looked at me, amused but mostly annoyed."What kind of crappy neighbourhood did you grow up in? Sacrifice? No, her stone body won't crack because her soul isn't here anymore," he said as he pointed between me and the stone."Well, where is her soul?" I asked, amused at how stressed he was about all of this."It was in you. It's probably buried deep somewhere in all that anguish you keep to yourself.""Anguish?" I asked, smiling. "I'm happy," I shrugged, and he groaned as he rolled his e
