“Gia, wake up… “Gifted you with three,” I hear these words on repeat, as my aching mind starts to wake me up. Dream-like visions danced through my sleep. Visions of wolves, demons, angels, and vampires. Where am I? Hold on, I am laying on something, wait, rather someone. What is going on?
Last, I remember, James ditched me for that hot woman, I ran to the restroom, patted water on my forehead and neck, and was going to look for an exit. Then, oh my God! That is right, I ran straight into a man, more like a god. Did I hit my head? He was so beautiful! Did he pick me up off the floor or something? Am I laying on him? As I questioned all this my anxiety rose. I must face the music and open my eyes. Open your eyes, I yelled at myself!
Be brave I told myself as I forced my eyes open. As soon as my eyes adjusted, I look and see my head is on a man’s shoulder. His scent smells like the freshest air that I have ever smelled with a mixture of what smells like Ylang-Ylang essential oils and sandalwood. As my mouth is watering, and my arousal starts to heat up, I look at his sexy and masculine neck and jawline.
It is the same man I ran into! A slight panic starts to hit me from embarrassment. Don’t stop now G you have got this girl! I move my eyes further up and connect with his dark and soulful eyes. He is a god. His hair is wavy, dark with amber highlights, longer on the top, and styled as messy. Those obsidian eyes are so demanding and seductive. He has a well-trimmed goatee and lips that look deliciously suck-able. That isn't even a word, but it is literally the best way to describe those lips.
He stares down at me with a gentle smile and a gaze of curiosity. As I start to move, to get off him, I feel a bulge gently glide against my ass. The realization causes my cheeks to blush, and my eyes lower. As I start to lift, my panties dampen with arousal. His strong arms pull me closer to him, preventing me from moving any further, he inhales a deep breath, and says, “where are you going my love, in a deep and completely sexual voice. “My love,” wow that is a bit huge for a first met, I think to myself while I am sucked further into his mesmerizing eyes.
“Who are you?” “What happened?” I softly ask him as I connect my eyes back to his and begin to get lost in his eyes again. Just as he tries to speak, I hear men yelling outside of the room we are in. I recognize one of the voices as being James’. Shit, I forgot about James. He is probably freaking out right now, and even worse as he is most likely drunk. Seriously though, he fucking left me, without a single word, or glance. He took off with that woman, as if I didn’t exist. Thinking fast, I look at my current man seat, and tell him that I don’t want to be found by James. He smiles, wraps one of his strong and ripped arms around my waist, and says, “as you wish love.”
Outside the room, the yelling has stopped. The door opens, and in walks a tall and muscular man, with tattoos running up and down his well sculpted arms and neck. He has spiky blonde hair and piercing eyes. His ice blue eyes connect with mine, and his lips turn up into a smirk. Behind him is a much taller man, with dark, shoulder-length curly hair, a body of a god, and amber eyes that lock on mine, making me feel like a rabbit amongst wolves.
He closes the door behind him, and both men slowly stalk towards me, like predators who have happily trapped their prey. I can no longer contain the extreme amounts of curiosity, lust, panic, and confusion pounding through my mind. I stand up, and the man under me lets me go.
Slowly walking backwards towards the exit door opposite of the room entrance, three sets of sexy as fuck eyes scan me, making me feel the emotions with higher intensity. In a blink of an eye, the man I was sitting on disappears, and the other two are standing a mere foot away from me now. Suddenly, I feel the third man behind me, he leans in and whispers near my left ear, “where are you going love.”
Standing frozen in place, feeling his warm breath on my neck, and the intoxicating energies emanating from them, my lips part and with a shaky voice, I ask them “who are you guys, and what do you want from me.” The taller man in front of me with the gorgeous amber eyes, dark curly hair, and a tattoo of a half-moon on his neck, smiles and says, “I am Max, this is Damen, and the stealthy stud behind you is Sam, and you are our mate.”
Did he say “mate?” I must have seriously hit my head or something and this cannot be happening. I have read so many paranormal and supernatural romance novels, and it is only in stories that I have heard someone say “mate” in the way he just did. “What do you mean by mate,” I say while looking at him like he grew a third arm or something.
Smiling and showing off his perfect teeth, Max looked at Sam, then to Damen, and back to me, and said, “you will understand soon enough, but for now, it is similar to your kind’s definition of soulmates.” Damen prowls closer to my right side and tells me, “We are destined, no fated by the Gods to be together. We are yours and you are ours.” Max closes the gap between us, he reaches his right arm out, gently grabs my lower back, pulls me close to him, and I stare into his eyes feeling sparks all over my body.
I swear, I stopped breathing as he looked at me like I was the most desirable woman on the planet. His amber eyes flickered from black to amber a few times. It was as if the room disappeared and the four of us were floating throughout space and time. Damen reached his left arm out, wrapped it around my right hip, and more sparks shot through me. I felt more alive, and full of electricity than I ever have in my life.
I felt a hand come up from behind me and gently wrap around my neck, Sam’s hand. I felt his body press against my backside, his bulge pressing up against my ass. The electricity and heat were so intense that I thought I might pass out again or explode from erotic overload. Sam whispers in my ear, his warm and minty breath tickling my ear, “you are completely irresistible, and I want you right now.”
Trying to snap out of this salacious trance, I stumbled further back into Sam’s body, as Max brought his other hand to cup my left cheek. Gulping I managed to slowly stutter out, “I should get home.” Max’s eyes still locked on my eyes, he sighs with a sad look, and says “We will take you home.” I don’t know what to do. I don’t know these men and all three of them are so built that there is no way I could defend myself if I had to, but at the same time I feel instinctively safe with them.
As if reading my mind, Sam drops his hands from me, he moves from behind me to my left side. He looks sad as he states “we would never hurt you. You are our entire existence, our everything. We will protect you with our lives as you are our mate.” Is this for real, I question myself in my mind. Again, having read enough romance and supernatural books to know that the concept of a mate is common in those, but this is real life.
Is it possible that these men are not human? Is it possible that we really are mates? I don’t take risks that could involve harm to myself or my son. I am a mom, and my main job is to keep my son safe and myself safe for him. Why do I feel these sparks and electricity with them? It has been fifteen years since I felt any type of electricity with a man, but it was not even close to the level I am feeling with these seemingly supernatural hotties. Regardless, I must get home! I will text my sister to track my phone location as a precaution. “Okay, please take me home,” I muster the courage to say to them.
Max’s eyes intensify as he draws my closer into his. “We will take you home, but first we would like to dance with you. It is a club after all,” he says with a playful smile on his face. He has a good point, and I do have a couple more hours before my sister expects me home. Plus, why should I let James ruin my night, when here I am with three of the sexiest men I have ever seen before, and all three want me right now.
Ugh, I am sounding like such an irrational harlot, but really, it’s just a few dances, right. Before I can respond with a yes, I feel Sam’s hands on my hips as he starts to sway my hips with a rhythm that is making my sexual heat intensify. Damen looks to the bartender in the VIP room and nods to him. The bartender switches on a button, and music fills the room. The acoustics of the room filter out the music from the rest of the club, while gently dispersing the rhythmic and calming sounds of the acoustic alternative song.
Feeling my weight lighten, Sam’s hands on my hips, Max’s right arm around my waist, and Damon closing in to join, my body reacts smoothly with this strange new dance of four. As each of them move my body to their visual and tactile pleasure and me feeling like their personal dancer on strings, my mind starts to drift to thoughts of the massive black wolf, the vampire sucking my neck, and the man with the large black angel wings swooping us four to the heavens.
Could it be, that the creatures from my dream real? Might these men be those creatures? The thoughts continue to swirl in my mind, as I question if I am truly conscious, or if my imagination is just running wild with me again; damn grandiose daydreaming. Whatever is going on, I have been captured by these god-like men, and I pray this is not the last time with them. I pray that I am not here to bridge them. Please be mine for once, I beg the gods of the universe through my mind.
As the first song came to an end, Max and Damen smiled as they stepped back away from Sam and I to sit on the sofa across from us. “We each want a dance with you separately our Gia, my doe,” Max melodically insisted. The three of them seem to speak without saying anything out load, as if they communicate telepathically. It was strange but also very intriguing. Feeling Sam’s body move from my backside, the sparks and tingles moved as his arms spun me around to face him. My heart raced as our eyes locked. Dark red speckles blended into his obsidian eyes. He stood at least a foot taller than me with his every defined muscle in full revelation through his tight black shirt. Suddenly, he lifted me and placed my feet upon his. While continuing his gaze into my soul, he rested my hands upon his shoulders, and his hands at my hips. His movements ever swift and graceful, that my eyes could not keep track of them. I remember reading once that the human eye can only see up to thirty to sixty
[Unknown POV] Sometimes my patience wanes waiting for my plans to sprout. As I look around my grand throne hall at the creatures of the night taking care of their debaucherous desires, my appetite to slaughter increases. This need to bathe in blood is never fully satisfied. Only this damn female Bridge will quench my bloodlust. “Where the fuck is Chelsea and Josiah,” I demand to my subordinates. Thanatos, my commander mind links Josiah to order that he check in. Thanatos was once the God of death. If it had not been for Hercules and Sisyphus, Death would have still ruled and been feared by mortals and immortals alike. He fell to their traps and was transformed into a dark angel with the assignment of guiding souls to the Netherworld. After careful planning and execution, I freed him of the vice grip held by Jav Atropos, King of the Netherworld. Now, he is my indentured and loyal servant. I do love his creativity on ways to kill people and he is very pleasing to look at. “They will b
[Gia’s POV]Max’s words struck my very core, causing my body to tremble with pulsating need for our skin to be in full contact. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined or thought of being in the situation I am in right now. These three stunning and chiseled men, beasts, or figments of my imagination have my entire being flying so high right now.That small pang of doubt keeps trying to rear its ugly head in me, by making me think this is not real, a trick, a very bad trap, but the compelling sensations I feel pull me back to this moment. Damen stares up at me with his ice blue eyes, as he strokes my thighs. His black pupils have morphed into cat-like vertical slits, and his canines have protruded into fangs.Max moves my hips back and forth on his bulging erection, which is so perfectly fit between my lady bits. Sam has now reached out one of his hands to fondle my left breast, his eyes still burning garnet in color. I don’t know what I am doing, and my willpower, logic, and
[Sam’s POV]Gia’s orgasmic and pleasurable moans were the most divine and euphonious music I have ever heard. None of us planned on taking it this far with her tonight. Granted she is our mate, and it is natural for mates to seal the bond upon first meeting each other. With her being human though, we wanted to wait and give her time, but she is so intoxicating.I haven’t had issues with self-control since my early days of being a youngling vampire. “We need to take her home,” I said softly to Max and Damen. “I don’t want to let her go,” Max said with a low growl. “I don’t either, but...” I started to say when Damen interrupted. “We won’t be gone from her for long,” said Damen. The three of us looked down with a pouting sadness on our faces. This one human woman has managed to turn three adult male beasts into pudding in her little hands.Damen lifted her legs to delicately put back on her pants, shoving her panties in his pocket. I couldn’t help but shake my head slightly and laugh a
[Gia’s POV]My soul was thrust into a portal. Feeling the energies swirling around my aura, while watching the colorful explosions of light all around me, had me confused and in awe. I looked up towards my destination and saw what appeared to be a city, that my soul body was fast approaching.Upon reaching the city, my body slowed down and I spun myself around so that my feet would hit whatever the destination of my trajectory is. When I landed, I felt the softest grass tickle my toes and smelt the most fragrant of flowers that I have ever smelled. The air around me was light and warm. Three suns and three moons radiated around whatever planet I was on.As I adjusted my vision to better see, a beautiful and tall woman, wearing a Greek-style white dress, approached me. With the most gorgeous of platinum blonde hair and lilac-colored eyes, I knew she must be of a different realm.“We have been waiting for you Gia. I am Athena, and you are in the realm of the Gods,” she said in a command
[Gia’s POV]“Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, there is a man on our patio,” my son Dante was yelling. Feeling my sore head as my mind was becoming more conscious after a wicked deep sleep. I was trying with all my willpower to wake up when my eyelids got blasted with bright light. “Mommy, did you hear me? Wake up, this is an emergency,” Dante yelled with urgency as he lightly shook my head with his hands cupping my face.“I am up honey. I just need a minute or two to sit up. I will go investigate in a few minutes. Just hangout in here and play with your stuffed animals while I heads downstairs,” I said while trying to get my body upright. Feeling incredibly sore all over made it more difficult to rise and shine. It is way too early in the morning to have to deal with some weirdo on my patio, I haven’t even had coffee yet.I grabbed my taser and cell phone, went to the bathroom to use the restroom and to splash cold water on my face. Then, I proceeded quietly down the stairs. Our patio is off the
[Gia’s POV]Damen started his story by telling me that the world around us is not the whole picture. He told this fantastic tale about how werewolves (AKA shifters), vampires, demons, angels, fae, witches, warlocks, and just about anything else that one could imagine are all real. They live among us, work at many of our businesses and governments, and for hundreds of years they have kept themselves cloaked with help from witches, warlocks and other spellcasters.Supernatural beings have even been a part of creating many religions, as the grand creation stories have helped humans to cope and to forget the existence of the other beings. There are those that prey upon humans, depending upon laws, locations, and the types of beings they are.There have been many times throughout history where supernatural beings ruled over humans. Also, times where they have wreaked havoc upon humans as well, an example would be the Dark Ages. Although there has been a waxing and waning of power struggles
[Max’s POV]If it weren’t for this council meeting, I could be with my mate right now. I know the moon goddess knows best though, and we are exactly where we are meant to be. It is just that I and my wolf, Dom, have not been able to concentrate without her with us.All the North American leaders are in attendance here. We received notice of this urgent and mandatory meeting a few days ago. The only way Sam and I were able to get Damen out of this meeting was to get emergency permission for him to stay with our mate to keep her and her son safe. Thankfully, the council elders granted us the request. I fully trust my pack warriors to keep her safe, but it is just not the same as one of us mates doing it.Sam’s General and my Beta and Gamma have been in hammering out the protection details for the past six hours now. We have also made plans for the tri-circle mansion renovations and move details for Gia and Dante to move in swiftly and smoothly.I registered Dante at the pack school for
[Gia's POV]The moment of impact of their magic upon my head produced tidal waves of energy into my being. It felt like a thousand hurricanes had collided with my skull, each with its unique fury and force, and they were all converging in an opus of chaos within my body. It was an experience beyond words, beyond comprehension, and yet, somehow, it was also beautiful in its terrifying way.The air around me seemed to ripple and distort. The world's colors blur and warp as if viewed through a broken lens. A bright light flashed before my eyes, momentarily blinding me before fading into a pulsating aura of energy that engulfed my entire body.I was thrust through an invisible portal in the sky and found myself falling feet first as the perception in the portal inverted. It is as if the two realms mirror each other's gravity, one where on one side you fly upwards, and the other you fall downwards.As my human vessel fell through the portal, a burst of energy filled my ears, drowning out a
[Gia’s POV]Staring up at the four goddesses, I began feeling even smaller in these vast phenomena of life, death, the after, and in-between. “Once again, I see your wheels turning in your mind, my child,” Visha said. “How do I become what you want me to be? My soul has not even progressed to the next stage of the divine being. I know I was on the “soul” path to leveling up, but I failed in this life,” I said in a melancholy tone. “We brought your body here with you. We need that vessel specifically, as we coded it for your transformation. You did not fail! You are still on your soul path, but with an extra boost in leveling up,” Hecate declared.The word transformation pressed forward in my mind. “Yes, you will go through a transformation, one that will change you from mortal to immortal,” Visha replied to the thought in my head. Of course, she can read my mind, I said with an internal giggle. “Wait, immortal! But I will outlive Max and my son,” I questioned in panic. “The blessings
[Gia’s POV]Time slowed as the towering goddess walked from behind the triple moon goddesses' thrones to me. My soul buzzed with electricity the closer she got. Like an Amazon woman in some cheesy 70's movie, her height was unbelievable, standing at least ten feet tall. Her skin shimmered as if every cell was made of diamonds. In contrast, her dress is the boldest color of sapphire. The dress was knee-length with triangular-fringed ends. A shawl covered one of her shoulders, and both garments were bound at her waist by a diamond-studded belt. My eyes followed the trail of her exquisite beauty to her dark black hair that disappeared behind her shoulders. Upon her head, she wore a triple-banded gold crown with fourteen dangling Lemurian stones placed approximately two inches apart. When my eyes locked on her sapphire-colored eyes, I felt mine roll back into my head. A warm and gentle breeze flew through me, and I could feel her large hand take hold of me. A feeling of warm sand unde
[Someone’s POV]“She sure does not disappoint, does she,” an unknown woman’s voice said in the distance. The voice was like a silk thread being pulled through a needle's eye, weaving through the air with a hint of mischief and curiosity.Feeling weightless in my once physical self, as if my body had been stripped away and all that was left was my consciousness, my eyes struggled to open to see which side of the karma coin my soul landed in this time. A loud metal-on-stone sound reverberated in my mind, as light seeped in through my sight. The sound pulsed through my mind, it felt like sharp vibrations were shooting through my entire body, causing my muscles to tense and my bones to ache.With a sudden burst of force, my soul slid back into a physical body. The feeling was jarring, like being thrown into the world without warning. As I gasped for air, the pressure of the cold floor on my face brought me back to my senses.Unsure if anyone could hear me, I managed to get the words, “Wh
[Max's POV]Still in awe of the magnificence of my mate’s ability to open the portal in front of us all, stunned my whole being. The portal shimmers and glows with an otherworldly light, illuminated by my mate's power. I stand mesmerized, unable to take my eyes off the scene unfolding before me.It wasn’t until Sam snapped at Damen and me through the mind link that I was fully drawn back to the present. “Is the spell wearing off for you both,” Sam asked. “I don’t feel any more effects from it, and the wolfsbane is almost out of my system as well,” I replied. “Great, I have already loosened the binds on my wrists and am working on my ankles now. Max, I know the silver is the worst for you, but can you and Dom manage enough strength to get free,” Sam inquired.My mind felt a jolt as Sam's message reached me through the mind link, causing a tingling sensation in my head. My fingers continued to fumble and struggle against the chains, causing them to dig into my skin.The silver chains ar
[Gia's POV]Staring into Kali’s eyes, I knew our fates were sealed. Kali's eyes were a deep, soulless black, like dark pits of coal. In them, I saw swirls of fiery red, reflecting the flames of destruction and death that burned within him. His grin was wicked and sadistic, revealing his true malicious intent.I did not falter or look away, as he marched straight towards me, with a grin that was twisted and malevolent, a clear sign of his sadistic joy.Our destinies seemed to align at this moment as if guided by the spark that had opened the portal between worlds. A mere mortal against a beast of all beasts, not quite the devil himself, but built by the devil with the sole purpose of the extreme demise of the beings of this globe. Every move he made exuded power and pure evil.Stopping roughly two feet away from me, Kali’s smile grew wider with a profound sense of inflated ego. “You have done well, my Queen. Your work is not only exquisite but spot-on and accurate. Bringing me directly
[Gia's POV]Staring at Kali’s eyes, black as night, glaring back at me with a demonic intensity. They seemed to pulse with dark energy, and I could see the twisted smile on his lips as he spoke. My mind quickly processed his words, “Open the portal, or watch as your mates lose their heads.” Fear gripped me, but I refused to let it show. My mates were counting on me, and I couldn't let them down. With a racing mind, I tried to come up with a plan. I knew I had to open the portal, but at the same time, I couldn't let Kali have what he desired. The triple moon goddesses' instructions were clear - the portal must be opened.Stop it, Gia, I scolded myself within my mind. I couldn't let fear control me or cloud my judgment. Taking a deep breath, I looked at Kali with determination, I can do this. The instructions from the triple moon goddesses flash before me, like a hologram projected onto the air. I can see the glowing images of Hecate and Selene, their expressions solemn and determi
[Gia's POV]We walked through a different door out of the ritual chamber and entered a long hallway. The air was heavy with incense and the sound of our footsteps echoed against the stone walls. I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was being watched, that the very walls were observing me and whispering secrets to each other.As we ventured down the hall, the torches lining the hallway seemed to ignite on their own as we walked by. It was both impressive and unsettling, the way they lit up without any physical touch. What type of craft is this-magical motion detectors, I thought with an internal giggle as I followed death with the others in tow. When we reached the end of our path there were doors made of rich, dark mahogany, their polished surfaces glinting in the light of the torches. As Death pushed them open, blinding white light flooded through, temporarily blurring my vision.[Max's POV]Waking up from Cyrstalla’s spell, I felt my wrists and ankles burning from the silver
[Gia's POV]The darkness seemed to stretch on forever as I flew back, the walls of the tunnel closing in on me until I hit something solid. It was pitch black, but I could faintly make out the outlines of the walls and ceiling. The darkness was so thick that it seemed to swallow every trace of light, the only source coming from a faint glimmer bouncing off the walls. I could see a liquid pooling around my hands, a viscous black substance that seemed to pulsate and writhe in the dim light. Again, in this darkness, I thought as I stood up and wiped my hands on my dress. "It will not be long now, my child," I recognized Hecate's voice as I stood in the darkness. Her words echoed around me, bouncing off the walls and filling the void with her presence. "Hecate?" I called out, my voice trembling slightly. I couldn't see her, but I could feel her energy surrounding me. "Yes, my dear," she responded, her voice coming from all directions. "What is this place?" I asked, looking around in
