Lilith's POVI think I needed that.Some deep sort of me craving the mate bond to be solidified again.Maybe it's a fact I was unable to take my eyes off of another man that wasn't mine.The indescribable feelings of betrayal that's been sitting in the back of my mind since it happened.The aftermath of my sex round of sex is nothing like the first. This time instead of jumping into a third round, we just sit along the ledge and enjoy the warm water.I have them both on either side of me, caging me in with their husky scents.I've noticed that after we fuck they smell stronger. They smell me, all of us.It's the smell of home, I think.We stay there as quiet as mice for a long time—the sun descending in the sky above us. Leaving not much time before the daylight ends and moonlight starts. "We should go; we don't want to be out here in the dark," I suggest having a stomach-sinking feeling that we should indeed be sitting in Celeste's home where it's safe.I hate to admit that, but it
Celeste's POVThe pool of human souls has been gathering to the point of overcrowding. Their little lights swimming around trying to find the one they belong to.My children are procreating yet I've ceased to choose a wolf soul to pair their pup with. I've had a lot to think about.The pro's and con's of letting the pairs chose themselves and knit together.Lilith's dismay is the root cause of my problems. Her words of disgust making me think over my choices regarding matching a pair.I shouldn’t allow her opinion to cloud my judgement and stop me from completing my job but I do and have.And this is what Zeus bangs on about.Love, it colours your judgement and I love Lilith and now her opinions or overruling my duty because of that fickle emotion that I’ve kept away for millennia.Perhaps it was easier with Theseus because he understood. Working the same as I, having the same rules.I think that’s why we work. There’s no expectation when it comes to harsh decision.He fully understa
Three Years Ago Damian's POVThey say that your heart freezes when you're touched by evil.I think that might be the case.I've been tainted by evil for so long that I crave it in some weird sadistic way to survive, yet I hate watching it now. I've not been let out of this cage called my own mind in what feels like an eternity, yet I think it might have been as short as a year.I watch life pass through the haze-filled vision of watching Onyx walk around inside my body.He has everybody fooled, including my best of friends and my longest-serving pack members.None of them bats an eyelid my way, presuming I am me and that life is carrying on as it always should.But that isn't the case.Onyx is probably the darkest soul I have ever come across.His need to hurt others, to steal their souls and feed from their very essence, is... a tumultuous thing to experience.I've never been that way. Evil or cold-hearted, my pack has come to expect nothing more of me.You’d think the elders woul
Theo’s POVI hang back in the kitchen, waiting for everyone else to disperse before I corner Theseus.He's quite the family man; it seems his ability to cook, and clean isn't one I would associate with a god, but I've seen it with my own eyes, so it's undeniable."Theseus?" I call from the table as he turns out the lights.His actions led me to believe he didn't realise I was still here, but surely a god would feel those around him."I wondered if you fell asleep over there; you've sat perfectly still for a while. What is it?" He asks whilst turning to walk out of the kitchen area.I stand to follow him, pushing my chair to the table out of respect before my footfalls meet his own.He walks up the stairs along the corridor, then up the next flight of stairs, moving into his room again.Immediately he heads for the pool, pushing his hand inside the water as he draws figures of eight."You want me to teach that young girl how to use her abilities," he smiles down at the water."Yes, can
Lilith's POV"Lilith, Calley," Theseus greets us outside in the yard whilst he stands under the swing I had sulked on just yesterday.The grass is frosty this morning, and the sky is still dark.It's six am, and the day is just getting started.Khai is standing just outside the glass wall of the house, and Theo is inside talking to his father through a telekinesis call that Celeste is facilitating.She seems helpful this morning, yet flat. Her body language shows her unease, yet her actions say another thing.Theseus gets started with me, making me practise the ability we last used.The power of emotion, he calls it.I have to think of something that makes me sad, and then I have to obsess over that sadness, thinking of all the things that can make the situation worse.I think of Theo and Khai, of losing them because of Damian.My thoughts take me down the path of them dying whilst I watch. The tear spring to my eyes instantly, and I'm consumed with the loss of my mates despite the f
Celeste's POVThe children Theo brought back with him belong to one of the godlings, the children that were procreated up here but sent down to Earth because Zeus would not allow them to live up here.I stand at the back wall of the house, watching Theseus teach Lilith how to manipulate those around her emotionally.She's still new to it, and she has no control over herself, which is dangerous.I must talk to Theseus about it.I can feel her sorrow all the way here, and it almost takes me under its spell, and then she becomes anxious, which also plays havoc with my own emotions.Lilith is potent, but I never expected less because she's just like her father.Theseus has the same ailment, and when we had first met, he, too, was new to the situation.Having sex for the first time was vociferous. His emotions and feelings swept mine away so that I mimicked his exact feelings.That's what I worry about with Lilith.If her gift is so uncontrolled now, what will happen when she gives birth t
Khai’s POVHow have I lived with these two kids without noticing that they hold an age-old gift between them?Neither one nor the other can exercise their own without the other.It’s a gift that is as rare as the world we live in, and it hasn’t been recorded for decades I—in the history of wolves. I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed their strange behaviour.But knowing what I do now, I can summarise that Calley has been using her gift around us on occasion.It’s in the way her usual bubbly behaviour was more subdued and quieter. Or the fact that she seemed overly quiet, whereas she would generally talk your ear off.And then I think of Arlo, who is always missing, never having a known location when he should be around. But I guess he is around somewhere.Perhaps Theo likes it that way; maybe having Arlo hidden is a strategy and constituency plan in case there is a breach in safety.Not knowing he’s there, and not expecting him to strike, is a clever plan.And considering he’s been trai
Lilith's POVI've gravitated to the room with my daughter's soul again—something pulling me up here as everyone goes about their afternoon quietly. The pools all sat at equal intervals on the floor, their contents glowing, illuminating the room with enough light to be able to see before me.Immediately I walk to the one she resides in, dipping my hand inside the liquid to find her unique purple soul. I note the liquid is warm, possibly at body temperature, and it illuminates in a blue hue. It's there, hiding at the bottom of the pool all by itself where, as the others are huddled as a unit, somewhat like a pack, if I could use that as a way to describe them.They mingle within the smallest of circles yet never part.I pick my daughter up, her form going rigid as she frets at being moved.But then she blossoms, spreading out in my palm as if trying to hug me, and I can feel her happiness at being near me."Are you so sure of wanting to be paired with Aspen?" I ask aloud, even with th
