"Marriage?" I ask, raising a brow, "That's your solution?" Simmins shrugged, a smirk on his face as he wallowed in the fact he was able to break me of my stoic expression. "If she's married, she'll no longer be unaffiliated. She'll become part of the Earth, Sky, Underworld, or Sea Kingdom." "She isn't supposed to be part of one of the four kingdoms. Our mate is meant to unite the kingdoms as one. My cousins won't agree with Katrina, only marrying one of us." "Too bad there isn't a fifth mate," Simmins replies, far too wise for the old geyser headmaster he pretends to be. "Yeah, that's too bad," I mumble under my breath, wondering how I will broach this marriage subject with the guys. "I can keep the BOUA away from the academy for the next two months at least. No one is allowed to interrupt midterms, not even the remaining original gods, but after midterms end, it's up to you to figure out how best to protect your mate from Brahma." "We have a meeting with the council immediately
"What do you mean by I'm a first-year?" I ask Beckett as we walk down the hall toward Luka's class. "Ah. I guess we really haven't had time to talk about school and what not." Beckett replies sheepishly. "I'm the oldest at twenty-six, I should have graduated last year, but as you know, I took a year off of school to recuperate after the events in the sea kingdom. So Miles and I are both in our senior years this year. We only have to attend our major and then one minor magical class. Miles's major is Sparring since he's the son of the God and Goddess of war. His minor, like mine, is magical studies since he has an earth affinity. I'm taking a Hydrology enhancement class that isn't available your first year for my major. That time I took you with me to practice your water skills; it was one of the weekly tutoring sessions I help with. Which, yes, is voluntary, but I'm not the saint most people think I am. I tutor water skills because I want only the strongest water wielders in my kingd
Concentrating in class was proving to be rough. While I should have been focusing on the students' ability to perform a basic shield, my mind and eyes kept wandering to the back room, wondering what Katrina was doing and how she was getting on. I chucked a ball of harmless sludge at Kayla, one of my remedial students who just barely made the cut-off for divine academy due to her divine blood being so washed out. I could tell when I through the sludge that Kayla's shield wasn't up to par, but I was surprised when it started absorbing the sludge and making it grow around her, wrapping her in a sticky mess. I pursed my lips and tried not to let out a sigh. Kayla was already in her second year at DA. If she didn't learn how to make a proper shield this year, the school would kick her out, and she would lose what little bit of divine power she had. As I told Katrina earlier, I haven't had a student fail my course yet, and I'm not about to start. "Kayla, I'll see you at 8 am sharp on Sat
As I let my divine power flow from my body, sending it toward Katrina, I watch in amazement as her shield begins to shift, her body calling upon her divine power to protect it. My magic evaporates before it can even come close to touching her shield. Captivated by what just occurred, I send another ball of magic toward Katrina, this power coming directly from the earth, and once again, her shield shifts, calling on her water affinity to protect her. The powers blessed with the earth's magic wash away, not coming close to striking her. "Katrina, your shield work is impressive. I've never come across anyone who can morph the magic their shield uses after putting it up." "Perhaps it is because I am the true fated mate of the heirs to the four heavenly kingdoms," Katrina speaks up, staring me in my eyes, the unspoken words clear in them, 'and mated to the heir of the Kingdom of Darkness.' There are murmurs around the classroom as her fellow students stare down at us, watching our inter
The situation in the Underworld was worse than I thought. I should have returned immediately after finding out Beckett would survive. The Etir had grown and spread throughout the entirety of the Acheron River Village and all of the city of Lethe and was continuing to spread through the Cocytus and Phlegethon rivers, but the spreading of the Etir wasn't the worst part. It was the destruction throughout the Acheron. Boat houses along the rivers and dams created to help tunnel water into the village were destroyed; the only remnants remaining were pieces of wood laced with metal floating along the river banks. The Etir had transformed, leaving behind a monster of mass destruction. A Kraken. As I flew over the village, my heart ached at what lay below. The once boisterous village of Acheron, the city of lost souls, was now a literal ghost town. The remaining souls were frozen in place mid-scream. Was it the sight of the Kraken that had scared them, or was it something else? Could a Medus
SamaelOnce I'm positive Medusa's destroyed, I lower my wings and turn toward the children I'm protecting. They stare at me in silence, some of their expressions filled with awe and others terrified. "Is everyone okay?" I ask, getting down on one knee so I can look them all in the eye and see if Medusa's song still had any of them under its spell. The littlest one in the group breaks the silence as she flings herself onto me. She couldn't have been older than two before she died, but from her eyes, I could tell she was much older now. "Thank you." She whispers, her voice sounding closer to someone in their eighties, as she clings to me. "Of course. You are my people." I reply, "I'll always protect you." "You'll make a great king someday, Prince Samael." The baby replies, "I'm only sad that I won't be able to see it." When she pulls away, it's only then that I notice the bright light surrounding her little body. She's ready to move on. "I've lived life to the fullest now." She r
As I walk out of Luka's , Aphelion is leaning against the wall waiting for me, a look of annoyance on his face. "What's up?" I ask as I walk up to him. "My father wants to meet you this weekend." He replies gruffly as he takes my hand and starts heading toward my next . "Wait, what? Why now when he was perfectly fine before waiting until the council meeting?" I ask, quickening my steps to keep up with Aphelion, who was quite literally dragging me across the academy."Before today, you were a nobody. But now, you've managed to defeat Thor's daughter and create an impenetrable shield that can morph constantly." "Aphelion!" I shout as I trip over my foot. "Please slow down!" "Sorry, Princess." He mumbles, glancing down at me, "I'm just worried; whenever my father takes an interest in something, it always ends badly.""It's okay, Sparky; we will figure something out. How does dear old Zeus know about my shield already?" "Dade called his father as soon as your shield morphed for Luka
"Nice of you two to finally show up," I state, acknowledging Samael and Beckett as they take their seats opposite Katrina. "You could have a least cleaned up first." Aphelion replies, looking up from his vegetables that he's been aggressively stabbing for an hour and taking in the haggard appearance. Instead of looking at my cousins, I watch my beautiful mate's eyes take in the appearance of her other lovers. I watch as she slowly studies them, glancing from top to bottom, checking for any signs that they've been harmed. I listen to her breath quicken and become captivated by the sight of her tongue licking across her lips while she leisurely looks over their toned muscles; their shirts are soaked and cling tightly to them, leaving nothing to the imagination."Do you like what you, Kitten?" I whisper, watching as her cheeks flush a delicate red. Katrina clears her throat while simultaneously elbowing me in the gut, causing me to groan, turning the trios attention to us. "Aphelion'
When Katrina walked out of the fitting room, I couldn't help but let my eyes travel over her leisurely, my pants tightening against me as I took in the sight. She was absolutely stunning. Somehow in the short amount of time she'd been in there, she'd managed to change her entire out, french braid her hair, and apply a few light touches of makeup. "Do you like?" She asks, spinning around in her heels, her sundress whipping up around her, flashing her tiny white lacy thong. This time I couldn't help but let out a growl as I stalked toward her. "Are you hungry?" I ask, towering over her. "I could eat." She replies breathlessly. It's the only answer I need as I pick her up, her legs automatically wrapping around my waist as I walk us back into the fitting room. When the door shuts around us, my cock is already out of my pants, and her panties are pushed off to the side. I have her shoved up against the mirror, so I can use one hand to hold her up while my other hand reaches between he
We've reached the beach before Miles has had a chance to respond to my statement, and when he sets me down on the sand, I notice two things. First, my dress is completely dry and looks like I'd just put it on, making me love Cupid even more so than I did before. If I were looking to add another member to my group, he'd be my first choice. A girl needs a man who knows clothes in her life. Although Cupid seems like the free lover type, someone who can never be tied down, and my plate is already full with than men I have in my life. Speaking of men, Miles biting his lip and looking nervous is the second thing I notice. "What's wrong?" I ask nervously, instantly worrying he was keeping something else from me. "We sometimes forget that you weren't born into the Divine World." Miles states, piquing my interest even more, "While having sex with all of us created a bond, it wasn't a binding bond." He states, shifting from one foot to another. "But you said that first night that if I had se
The view is absolutely stunning as I walk out onto the deck following the Cunt-A-Saurus... I mean our hostess to our gazebo, a fucking gazebo, not just some outdoor table, and chairs, but a whole ass gazebo to ourselves. As the hostess side-eyes me some more before she walks away, I can't help but wonder if she's one of the sluts Miles used to fuck. And the term slut isn't something I'd use against any woman who has sex. It's only a term I use toward women who can't seem to realize that the man she's oggling is MATED and that his mate is the other woman she's being snarky with. Otherwise, it's a term of endearment, a word that the female community took back and made our own. I want to confront miss skanky about it, but I don't want to ruin this date, so instead, I shoot her daggers as she walks away, hoping she can feel my laser beams on her back. Miles looks at me like he's expecting me to say something about the hostess's behavior, but as soon as she walks away, I let all my aggres
"And don't think that just because I like Cupid, you're out of trouble, mister," I tell Miles, my head leaning against his muscular arm, proving that my words are just words."I wouldn't dare think that, Kitten," Miles replies, kissing the top of my head as he attaches the pamphlet to the small clipboard and takes the top of the pen."What's that even for?" I ask, pointing toward the paper, trying not to slur my words as I do so.Maybe I should've slowed down on the champagne. My face is already flushed, and the top of my nose feels like it's burning. But it tasted soo good. I don't normally like champagne, but this must be a special variety made by Cupid or one of the other magical...divine...whatever you want to call them beings. The champagne tasted like a marshmallow-coated strawberry dipped in chocolate, and it was so smooth it went down my throat like water. I'd already had two glasses in less than half an hour, and Miles had already poured me another. As tempted as I was to dri
"Is this your house?" Katrina asks as we drive up a long winding driveway."No," I reply, still not giving her any information on what we are doing today, "Are you still not talking to me?" I ask with a smile on my face as I recall her stomping through the garage after me."As much as I don't want to talk to you right now, I figured it would be hard not to since we are on a date, after all." She responds haughtily, arms crossed as she glares back out the window."Remember, Kitten; you're the one who started it," I reply, smirking over at her, drawing her attention to me once more."How so? Your filthy mouth got us into that predicament in the first place." She questions, glaring over at me, which only causes me to smile more.My cheeks are already hurting from how much I've smiled today. I haven't felt this happy in a long time. It's been nice having my mate to myself, even if it has been only an hour so far. I need to make sure I schedule a monthly time slot for time alone with Katri
"What do you mean I can't wear this?" I ask, gesturing to my stretchy ensemble. "You picked it out for me.""The shorts barely cover your ass, babe, and your tits are barely contained in that top." Miles replies, "You in that outfit, it does things to me. Instead of taking you out on our date, I'm going to drag your ass to my room caveman-style and claim your body as mine over and over again."There goes my traitorous cunt weeping once again for his cock."And what would you like me to wear, Hurricane?" I ask, dropping my new nickname for him."Hurricane?" Samael questions."Isn't she the one named after a Hurricane?" Aphelion asks."What the hell type of nickname is that?" Beckett chimes in.I can hear Luka chuckling in the background and it gives me hope that at least one of my mates gets my reference."Just don't ask." Miles replies exasperatedly to his cousins, before he turns toward his room, quickly returning with one of his shorts and a pair of sweats, shoving them into my hand
When Miles woke me this morning, I felt rejuvenated. Last night had been eye-opening. My body was still sore this morning from the pounding it had taken last night, and my clit was throbbing, but this is the first time since coming to power that I've felt like I am in control of my body. I'm no longer afraid that I'm a ticking time bomb. My men and anyone else I'll come in contact with will be safe...at least from my demonic side. My angelic side is still unknown to me, but I've only been afraid of my Divine Light, and I have that under control now as well."Kitten," Miles called soothingly, whispering gently in my ear as he rubbed my back, "It's time to get up.""What time is it?" I ask as I roll of my stomach, tossing Beckett's arm off me in the process, which causes him to groan before he covers his head with the pillow."Early," Miles replies, taking my hand and pulling me the rest of the way out of bed."What's on the agenda today?" I ask, stretching my arms over my head and twis
Letting Katrina take the dominating lead is tough, to say the least. It goes entirely against my Alpha personality. Miles struggled a little at first, too, giving Katrina the reins, but he doesn't seem to mind since he isn't the one getting punished. Fuck. That little minx. I should've expected her to retaliate as soon as possible. I just didn't think I would be the only one punished. And using edging as a punishment until she learned control wasn't even fucking my idea. Miles came up with that idea all on his own. Fucking fucker. Although I can't say I didn't enjoy it, which is probably why I'm the only one being punished. And so I retreat to my chair, discarding my clothes before I do so. Even if I can't get off with my mate, I can still get myself off watching her get fucked. Voyeurism is another one of my many kinks. "Beckett," Katrina calls, her voice overly sweet, and I know whatever she's going to say will be anything but, "No cumming until I tell you to." She pauses for a min
"You'll get to as soon as you get her under control, Kitten," I reply, standing up from my chair and walking over to her, towering above her. "This cock," I grab ahold of myself, "will be yours to do with as you please. It's not cumming until you do." "Miles," She pleads, looking up at me, "I can't. She's too strong." "Baby," Samael speaks up, tearing his lips from Luka's cock to look at his other mate, "She's a part of you. If she's too strong, it's because you made her that way." "Imagine your succubus," Luka states, looking almost as miserable as Katrina, making me wonder if Samael has been giving Luka a lesson in edging as well, "Once you have her pictured in your mind, imagine that you're trapping her, whether that be a box covered in chains or a prison cell. Once she's thoroughly locked up, imagine her confinement shrinking into the tiniest of pebbles, and then picture that pebble being swept away by the ocean's current." "I feel like I'm on fire." Katrina whispers, her eyes
