Hi guys! I hope you enjoy this double update. Tension is building and suspicion is rising. Things are about to happen, and I can't wait to put my ideas down for you to read. Please let me know what you think in the comments. Thanks for your continued support and love. Alot of readers didn't understand why Hades let Ryder out of hell. I hope this chapter answered some of those questions. If not, I'll try to clarify things better. I listen to my readers. I want you guys to enjoy my stories. Finally, chapter 48's changes were approved by my editor. It was accidently made into a duplicate chapter, so please go back and reread 47, 48, and maybe even 49 to better understand how Demi got dragged to hell by Hades. Thanks again for the love, now on to the next chapter!
Chapter 69: My Happily Ever AfterDemi “Gavin, you missed Ryder. I think he went to the gym.” He grinned as if that’s exactly what he wanted to hear. “Actually, I wanted to have a word with you.”I moved the door so that it was in between Gavin and I. I looked around it ready to shut it at any moment. My instincts were telling me to run, and I don’t know why. “If you want to speak to me, Gavin, you will need to do so while my mate is present. Otherwise, I don’t think it is appropriate for us to be alone together. I’m sure you understand.” The grin vanished from his face and was replaced now with an angered expression. One that reminded me of the one person who was able to send shivers down my spine just by the mention of his name, Ares. An image flashed in my head. The same image I saw last night in the club right before I passed out when I thought Gavin was Ares. A sick feeling coated my stomach and I found myself wondering if it was simply a hall
Chapter 70: Brutal--Narrator--Ares frequently visited the fae kingdom where he could be himself. He travels back and forth from the fae castle to the castle of the dragons in the mythical lands. He needed a release after his last encounter with Demi. He wanted to take her whether it be against her will or not. He wanted to ram into her. To hear her scream as he pushed in and out of her little pussy without stopping to breath. The harder she fights against him the more he wants her. Ryder has already marked her pretty little neck. Ares had bloodlust when it came to Ryder. He wanted to kill him, and he planned to. He was almost done playing around at the castle. He was starting to realize that things weren’t as fun as he thought they would be.Ares hand slid up the girl’s neck to softly stroke her face. He held back his urge to be ruthless and rough with her. She let out a breathy moan as he rolled his thumb over her lips in a seductive motion then moved to gently caressed the soft pin
Chapter 71: Just Drive--Demi--It’s been four days since Gavin forced his way into mine and Ryder’s apartment. I have been on edge ever since. Why would he need or want to do that. He said he wanted to speak to me about something, but then he started saying things that were very disturbing. At one point he even stated that I wasn’t Ryder’s. What was wrong with him? At first, I thought maybe I was the one who was being the crazy one. Maybe I should have just let him say what he wanted to say. Maybe then he would have just left, but my instincts told me to do the opposite of that. My instincts told me to run. A Keres never runs from anything… other than the gods who command us. We do their bidding, no matter what it could be. When the gods created keres, at first it was to aid them in war and for other tasks that they themselves were too busy to do. It didn’t take long for the sick minded gods to take advantage of the fact that a keres had to follow through with their commands. They sta
Chapter 72: Vampires--Ryder--When Demi told me that she wanted to get out of the mythical lands I didn’t hesitate to please her. Something is bothering her and though I am the prince of the mythical lands and future alpha of the Harmony moon pack my mate comes first, now, and always. I struck another gear and my bike screamed to life. Demi squealed and held on tighter as my bike rose up leaving us riding on only the back wheel. I smiled. Her little laughs have that effect on me. I love hearing her happy. I let the bike sit back down and we continued to roll into the night. Luca on my left and Drake on my right. This is my crew, and I wouldn’t change a thing. Demi asked me to not tell anyone where we were going, not even my parents. I decided to visit the pack lands though. I have a private cottage that I have ready for me whenever I want it. I always stay at the packhouse like the last time Demi, and I visited. I figure we will stay in the cottage this time though. We need the privac
Chapter 73: Never too High--Demi--It’s the middle of the night and we are finally pulling through the gates of the Harmony Moon pack. I felt a heaviness in my chest and my heart squeezed remembering what happened the last time we were here. I need to forget about that. We have moved past it. Ares hasn’t made contact with me since Ryder has been home and I am hoping Zeus has made sure the harassment has stopped. The last time I spoke to Ares was when I visited Olympus to meet Selene and Typhon and I decided that day that I would never return. Zeus would have to kill me. I will never go back. But what if Ares has made contact with me in the form of someone else?I felt his hand on mine as he reached down finding mine clutching his stomach. He gently squeezed, almost like he felt my emotions thick in the air. I took a deep breath and looked up to meet his gaze as he briefly looked back towards me. His eyes, those eyes. The ones that tell me that everything is going to be okay. The pass
Chapter 74: PromiseDemiCheering and applause awoke me from my sleep. Where am I? I roll over and see a red light flickering outside the unfamiliar window.“What is that?”I hear someone say.Then a voice I know all too well answered.“It’s Alpha prince Ryder!”Fear overtook me and my heart felt like it was in my throat as I threw the covers off me and quickly stumbled out of bed. The cheers grew louder. I grew more and more impatient as It took me far too long to find the front door. I finally found it and tore it open. Dawn was barely upon us as I frantically ran outside. I searched the crowd, desperate to find my mate, my Ryder. Has something happened to him? It was only now that I remember that I was at Ryder’s secret residence within the Harmony Moon Pack. I spot Luca and Drake and begin pushing my way through the growing crowd to make my way to them. ‘Move, please!’ I try to say, but no words left my lips. I finally reach them, but why are they looking up? What the hell is goin
Chapter 75: SuspicionsRyderI decided to take Demi to a spot my grandfather once showed me a long time ago. It’s one of his and my grandmother’s favorite places to escape to, and only they, my parents, and I know about it. Demi held my hand as we both flew over the packlands and into a dense forest. We let our wings dissolve and followed a unkept trail through the thick brush and trees. I breath the fresh air that offered the calming scent of earth and rain. My Lycan hummed within me. My dragon hated it, as its impossible to fly through.We walked through the forest for about ten minutes before the trees and vegetation thinned enough to allow us to see where exactly I was taking Demi. I heard her breath catch in her throat as she first laid eyes on the setting around us.We were standing in what looked to be a low spot on the mountain side. Trees and beautiful vegetation surrounded us. The thick canopy of trees above us caused the time of day to feel like it was around dusk though it
Chapter 76: RevealedDemiHe held me while we stood here in this magical place. His anger was frightening, and I was so scared he would do something crazy. Like fly all the way back to the mythical lands to confront Gavin before we could figure something out together. That’s why I wanted to get away for a few days while I told him my thoughts. We need time to figure something out. Maybe I should talk to Selene and Typhon. I don’t know that they could help though. Zeus has given strict orders. No god is able to harm or attack another god. He will surely put them to death if they do something stupid. I have no doubt that they would fly off and do something to Ares. They really are like my parents. I feel stuck. My stomach turned and I felt like I was going to get sick. My emotions were all over the place. “I’m scared, Ryder. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to lose the ones I love because of him. He has already taken so much from me.”I admitted. His hard eyes softened w
