“Twenty years ago, a giant hunting group came upon my mother and decided she was good enough for dinner.” When Nehemey spoke, it was toneless and emotionless. “My mother ran for her dear life, and hidden within her voluminous cloaks was the baby she desperately wanted to save, me.”“She was only one woman though, and already sick so she was no match for the giants, they hunted her down and ripped out her throat, and the starving giants feasted on her flesh in the same mountains. I remember everything, the sounds they made as they tore into her, as they swallowed her.”Adrian frowned. “Impossible. You said you were not even born.”“I was nearly due, I remember even being inside my mother’s womb. I remember her gasping breaths when she ran, her scream when she was caught, her pleas to spare her baby’s life but the giants didn’t understand her native language.”How difficult was it to spot a pregnant woman? Adrian wasn’t sure it would have ever made a difference if they understood her la
"What the hell?!" Freya spun around to find one of the members of the Wild Hunt. "Are you following me across realms?""We are always with you, you just refuse to see us." He replied but she was already shaking her head. "No. I picked up a stupid ball that I never should have and I'll return it, once I find the owner once again." She pointed out. "I never want to see you again." She spun around, ready to leave despite not knowing where she was going but he was right there in front of her again. "No. You picked the ball because it was your destiny." She laughed, sounding nearly manic. "It's crazy, how many people claim to know some part of my destiny when even I don't know what I'll be doing tomorrow.""You are Shinay-" He began. "No I am not." She interrupted. "I'm not whatever you all wish me to be-""You are Shinay." He repeated. She shook her head and retreated. "No. If this is a dream, I want to wake up. Now! Let me out!""You are Shinay, The Awaited one."Her legs stopped
While the investigation for the murder of Orroc was ongoing, it seemed to have shot The Martoshi's paranoia into the sky and she was there with her all morning, humming songs that made Freya's head hurt. The female was desperate for her to survive and Freya thought it would break her when she finally disappeared. The sooner the better though, so that the Martoshi can get into the business of creating another heir, if it wasn't already too late for her. Finally, the Martoshi was called upon and her nanny took over. This one was a simple female and half an hour later, she was snoring wildly. Freya silently climbed out of the cot, pulled her cloak from its hiding place and threw it on. After watching the outskirts for a good while, she figured out the pattern of the patrolling giants. They did seem at alert, on the lookout for something. It would be tough but she thought she and Adrian would be able to leave. Excited, she left to find him, tracing his scent. Some minutes later, she
The moment Freyas’s lips touched his, she knew that this was right. He was shocked at first and she pulled back, wondering if she had gone too far ahead of herself and in truth, he now wanted nothing to do with her. “Come here.” He said and grabbed her close. He flipped their position, pressing her into the door as he claimed her lips. Yes! Her wolf was alive, she was alive. Her fingers raked his back, digging into the hard delicious muscles and he gathered her legs around his waist. “Fuck! You taste good.” He groaned and took her lips again. She needed to stop but she couldn’t stop. She wanted more, but she shouldn’t. She pushed her fingers through his hair and kissed him harder, her tongue gliding urgently against his. His cock jerked against her under his swollen breeches and she pulled back. “You liked that.” She said. “Like?” He asked, like she was being unreasonable. “Woman, if you do that again, I will spill in my pants and it will be absolutely embarrassing.”He took her
As the night progressed and the giants got drunker and drunker, Freya was introduced to sights that she wished she had gone her entire adult life without having to witness. The giants were as loud and lousy as they looked as they fucked in the shadows, on the floor, against the wall. “A giant sized orgy.” She heard from behind her and startled when she realised that Adrian had somehow found his way to her. “Were you going to continue pretending like I don’t exist?” He asked her. “That’s not what I’m doing.” She protested. “You have been avoiding me.” He replied and she bit her lip. “Take me back, Adrian and end this madness.” She whispered. “You think I’m not trying? That’s not how my power works.” He replied, sounding frustrated. “Creating a portal between realms is not a walk in the woods. It might be that the time is not right and that’s the reason why it won’t happen.”Her nanny suddenly appeared, frowning when she saw the proximity between them. She cooed something and haul
“Nehemey!” The Martoshi growled and the female came pushing from behind the press of giant bodies. One of the men started speaking angrily, gesticulating to Freya’s wolf dramatically and Venna reacted by growling loudly. Her human form did no damage to them but she could probably take one of them down in her wolf form. “The Martoshi demands an explanation. What have you done with her baby?” Nehemey asked. “You know there was never a baby.” Adrian said but she stared at him coolly. Venna was not deceived, she could hear the dull pounding of the woman’s heart, she was not as unaffected as she looked. Nehemey exchanged a few short punctuated words with the Martoshi and then she pointed at her. “You. Shift.” Nehemey ordered and Venna snarled, daring the bitch to try to make her. “Tell the Martoshi that we mean no harm and will be on our way.” Adrian said, keeping his hand on the back of her ear. His silent message was clear, he wanted to resolve this amicably and didn’t want her tea
Adrian shook his head. “I’ve never seen something like this.” He said and her breath exploded out of her chest with disappointment. “Okay.” She pulled back but he grabbed her hand while she hurried to put out of her magic. “But I’ve heard of it, everyone in my realm has actually. It’s like a fairytale.”She settled in front of him, her breath quickening with excitement. “Tell me.” She said. “It’s nothing good.” He started, a frown in his voice. “Most of the stories make mention of only the four elementals from which the lives of sorcerers was born but the more ancient books mention one more elemental, the Shadow sorcerer. She was the darkness to the light of the four elementals, the death to their life and every bit as powerful. While the elementals loved to create, she revelled in destruction and destroyed everything she touched.”“If she was so dangerous why didn’t they just kill her?” Freya asked. “A balance is always needed. You cannot have life without death and perhaps she
Nehemey dropped like a log, unconscious and he gently put her in the cage. “I’m sorry.” He whispered and turned to find Freya staring at him. “I was wondering if I would have to kill you both.” Freya said. “Make your own death slow for your treachery.”“You didn’t believe for a second I would leave you did you?” He asked and she shrugged and stood. “Wouldn’t be the first time I’ll be betrayed.” She replied and he crossed the room to her and gripped her face. “I promised to have your back Freya, and I meant it. I promised to take you back and I will do that, even if it’s with my dying breath. You are not getting rid of me before then.” He promised and kissed her. She froze beneath his lips but she was powerless to resist him. He slanted his lips and deepened their kiss and she moaned and dove her fingers into his hair, kissing him back fiercely. When he finally pulled back from her, he was dazed. His cock was hard and aching with desire but the time was not right. The next time he
