Eight Years AgoDamian's POVI hate the ugly monster looking back at me in the mirror. His black beady eyes are a mixture of my own dark brown with the depth of the very hell living beneath us, yet it's my body, my face, that looks at me as he teases me with the image of myself in the reflective glass.They suck me in and chew me up only to keep me inside instead of spitting me out—my whirlwind of emotions circles around and around as I live inside this monster of my own body.An internal loop of the same shit, day in and day out.I'm trapped. Trapped in the darkness, Onyx allows me to live in. My only saving grace is the mere thought of escaping one day and ending the pair of us.I've long since had the inability to surface fully. My only option is to watch through the eyes that were once mine—watching people believe that he is me, hating his ability to mimic even the slightest mannerism to fool any innocent bystander. What have I become?Who have I become?The number of stolen chil
Theo's POV Leo and I hang back as Tabby and Lilith walk through the woods, discussing Tabby's time with a witch called Gretchen. Poor Tabby describes a gruesome life with the witch experimenting on her because of her visions. Damian wanted to harvest her gift. He wanted the gift of vision to use to his whim. Leo grits his teeth as Tabby describes the dark magic used to try and siphon her magic. The growl sitting at the base of his throat when she explains how painful it was sometimes makes me wonder how he hasn't killed Damian himself. I think over the times I've seen him near Damian. At how he's able to control the urge to be angry. His ability to be neutral in the face of the man who had hurt his mate, his girl. I don't know if I'll be able to be as Switzerland in the face of that man as he is. In the face of seeing everything he has done to Lilith and Khai, I don't know whether I will now be able to prevent myself from hurting him how he deserves. "Theo?" Lilith calls me.
Lilith's POVTabby and I work around one another in the kitchen, making food from the cooking book.We went for a curry with rice and a side of spiced potatoes and coconut bread.Luckily Calley was home when we arrived, so we had her help; otherwise, we might have struggled to decide on dishes, let alone start the prep for dinner.She finds some flatbread in the fridge and carefully cuts a small opening to shove coconut inside, then bastes it in garlic oil.She has Tabby dicing chicken for the curry, which looks disgusting.The meat is slimy as Tabby takes it out of the plastic bowl it lives in, and it slips through her fingers and into the side, leaving a small trail of blood in its wake as it splattered with a slapping sound on the countertop.I watch disgusted as she picks it up again to place it down on the wooden chopping board readying it for her knife.I hate to say the knife slices so quickly through the meat that it makes my stomach churn. The image of a girl, similar to Tabb
Six years agoDamian's POVI think the boy is her mate.It's in the way he looks at her, the way he hangs off of her every word, his inability to keep his hands off of her and the protective stance he takes over her, yet not anyone else.Onyx is becoming suspicious; watches Khai intensely. He is assessing his every move.And I’m sad to say Khai is fairing the bunkers more times than ever before.One wrong look, one wrong move, even sniffing the girl too closely, has Onyx in a tis of hatred for the boy.Khai was the son I chose for myself. The child I never had genetically, yet the boy I had adopted in a way that meant I had someone to pass my pack down to.Legally he is the heir, the successor to take over from me, yet here my wolf is destroying him.The boy has turned from the bubbly child I adopted to a quiet, subdued kid that jumps at the slightest sound.I hate watching his confidence dwindle before my eyes. Yet I cannot look away either.I could ignore all of this happening aro
Celeste's POVI mope around the house, neglecting my duties in the following days after that... mistake with Zeus.Neither he nor Theseus has been near nor by, and I'm starting to wonder whether it was just my overactive mind making things up to punish me in some way, shape or form.But then I look into the mirror again, seeing the nasty marks on my neck. The bright purple and green blotches that are evidence to the contrary that indeed. Zeus had forced me to sleep with him to punish Theseus.I wonder, though, if he thought about how he was punishing me.I trusted him.We had a good relationship, and I thought he was abiding by the agreement he had made many, many moons again, but he wasn't.I guess, maybe, he was waiting for a time to use me much as he does all of the other female goddesses that come and go.Perhaps it has something to do with the fact I have been so long-standing that temptation finally snapped his restraint.I have been the longest-standing goddess since the likes
Theo's POVDinner has passed, and it was magnificent, delightful even. My stomach is full of the beautiful goodness of curry, rice, potatoes and bread. Calley, Lilith and Tabby have all exceeded themselves, cooking up a feast of goodness, and we’ve all eaten in silence.The only sounds were the orgasmic eating sounds that were in unison between all of us.Even Angela couldn’t deny how excellent the food was, and she usually complained about everything.I’ve bid Leo and Tabby goodbye out in the yard where they are walking through the woods to find their friend who teleported them here, and now I want, no need, my mates.Grabbing hold of Lilith’s hand, I guide her upstairs, and I mind-link Khai to follow.He smirks—his internal dialogue mirror that of my own.Lilith’s smell has changed drastically today, and it’s tantalising.It was seeping out from her pores and into the air around us, turning me the hell on.Maybe it was the soft touches to my thighs in the kitchen as she ate, or per
Celeste's POVAs I walk, I watch my granddaughter's soul as we walk to the pool of combined souls, and I feel giddy.Wow, that is all I can't think of as I look at the perfectly blended souls. There isn’t a strand of their DNA that has knitted together in a perfect meld of colour.No rough edges and no incomplete bonding. No part of them that doesn’t match the other completely. And it makes me think, makes me look. The souls I just chose to put together have not combined in such a seamless way.Have I been producing wolves that are not entirely one hundred percent a match…. Could I have chosen Hati, the wrong counterpart? Is that it?Is that why he’s the way he is?Placing my granddaughter down, I pick up Leo’s son, taking him back over to the pool of wolves.I pry apart the souls, placing both back separately in the bowl.They stay still for a moment, floating close to one another yet not moving away.They seem to think over whether they want to find another or stay together, but t
Lilith’s POVSomething wakes me from my deep slumber. Dread is sitting in the pit of my stomach, which in turn is making my little girl move.You could say she was excited, but with how I feel, maybe she’s feeling just as much dread as I am.I sit from the mattress, looking back to see both Khai and Theo sleeping soundly on either side of me.What is that woke me?Sighing, I climb from the bed, grabbing the robe laid across the chair beside the bed.Swinging it around me, I cover my nakedness before tying it around my waist.Only then do I walk to the floor-length windows to look out and across the yard in wonder.It’s deep into the night, the move shining bright as it illuminates the yard, the trees and the distance.It’s beautiful outside, and I want to marvel at the sight before me, but the dread is all-consuming. Unwilling to let go of my very soul.I’m not sure how long I stand here at the window, but time seems to pass quickly, the moon moving through the sky, staring back at m
Zeus's POVThey say evil rules the world, and I'd like to agree wholly especially as I watch Hati finally take the child that will soon become the queen of the earth realm.Theseus died some years ago at my hand as we fought for the title of god. I took his wonderful wife in as my prisoner, indebting her to me at the promise I would let her child, and the grandchildren live peacefully.But I did no such thing. Bringing Theo, Khai and Lilith here to the god realm to be my prisoners with their dear children as they also live out their lives locked within the house they cannot leave.Most believed Theseus would win, that he would take over from me, including his family.But love weakens you, and Goddess Adophen aided me in his demise.She has the gift of projection, and she distracted him easily as she projected herself as his wife and then daughter, taking his concentration and that love that is not a man’s best friend.I'm thankful for her, and I promised her that her daughter and son
15 years LaterHati's POVThe time has come, my beautiful Lorrie has come into her wolf, and I can feel the mate bond calling for her.She's been feeling it too, and though I've kept myself away for the last week I cannot stop the inevitable for much longer.Belle has given her blessing, she's taking the other kids, all five of them, out to the other house for the weekend to give me time with Lorrie alone.It's time for me to claim my mate and create the Luna our pack deserves.So I have Calley cook us dinner, stopping her twice to take her in uncompromising positions as she mutters her disapproval very loudly.And then I lock her down in the cells below the house for the remainder of the weekend intent on making sure she knows her place within this pack.Soon she'll have to answer to Lorrie instead of Belle. She'll have to bow down to her luna's disappointment and she's already made a distant enemy of Aspen over the years."Bring me the luna," I demand to Belle as she gathers our chi
Hati's POVTrue to a wolf pregnancy Belle is only pregnant for around nine weeks, her belly swelling fast as she grows my pup within her.And one fateful night as the wind howls and the rain falls she starts her labour as we lay our son to sleep.Lorrie refuses to go down and starts to get in the way as Belle circles on the floor through her pain as Lorrie tries to hold onto her mothers hands."Mama, up," she cries asking for up as she outstretched her arms up to Belle who looks to me for help as she winces once more."Calley," I yell out, intent on having Lorrie away from this ordeal, knowing I have no one else I'd rather trust with the child.Yes she might well have an ulterior motive, but I have no doubt that she would die for this kid. Anyway, I don't want to scar the child, I don't want her to remember her mother in pain when I want her to have only good memories of her.It takes Calley a moment but she comes, knocking on the door in her pj's as she looks at the vision before he
One Year LaterHati's POVLorrie has turned into a funny little thing. She's walking and talking in toddler gibberish and I fall in love with her more everyday as she fills our life with fun and happiness.I can see why Celeste matched her soul to Aspens. She's spunky, confident and happy just like Aspen has always been. We ended up relocating around three to four months ago, coming out of hiding, leaving the continental US.Now we live in the very green Scotland, in the rainy United Kingdom.We've decided to try and blend in, whilst living in the middle of nowhere.It's been an adjustment weather wise, but we really don't come by people often, and the home we brought is surrounded by acres of green forest which is perfect for us to shift.And shift we must, because the lack of shifting causes aging, and that brings problems regarding healing one's self because our bodies resort to being only human.And I have a surprise for you, something I never imagined or cared for but equally was
Khai's POV"Aaah!" She screams as pain radiates through her mid region. I hadn't expected her to wake from her nap in pain, I also hadn't expected her to tell me we won't be finding Lora but she did that to and despite knowing she probably has the gifts to see such things, I deny her allegations and pretend that we will find her. To say she took me off guard would be an understatement but all I could do was call for Theo Lilith has gone into labour a whole week before she's due but I think that's normal for multiple pregnancy but no less scary as she freaks at the pain and wails into my shoulder.She labours in bed, standing up and even in the shower.The whole time crying for Lora, feeling as if she might be replacing her with the children coming out from within her tummy.Sadness fills the room and the three of us did not enjoy the birth process at all.Our sons entered the world screaming loudly, clearing their lungs within minutes of each other and though Theo and I wanted to c
Lilith's POVDane is adamant that Damian isn't dead and equally as adamant that I can use my memory to summon where his whereabouts.Apparently the witch side of me can teleport, and that's a given because I have done before but never have I teleported to a person specifically, only a place.But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.Of course it does, if I can summon a place, then I can summon a person, right?I just have to practice, apparently. It still astounds me how much he knows about me when most know nothing about me at all.And it just so happens that I feel closest to him out of anyone I've met.I'm having a bad day today, pain is radiating along my back, a sharp stabbing pain accompanying it whenever I stand for to long.I think it's the twins, my boys that are currently safe within me.I miss Lora.I miss Calley.Heck, I even miss Lucas.I can only hope that one of them with with my baby girl, that they are doing everything in their power to protect her from
Hati's POVA further two and a half weeks have passed as we live in this humid and small place in hipster being on top of one another. My men have broken all the agreements I even made with Gretchen, her witches becoming the slaves they are used to which had disfavoured the respect the witch have held for me. But needs must and all that.Even I and finding it hard not to play outside of Belle.Take yesterday for example.Calley had been caring for the child as she has been for over two weeks, ensuring Lorrie remains quiet and happy to limit the time the child spends with Belle.I'm not stupid and I had noticed how she would try to prevent any crying coming from Lorrie.The child has grown far quicker than I thought possible, her growth excelled.She's standing against furniture, giggling and eating some solids, but that's just a trigger for me.I've told Calley she must feed from Belle and she's purposely ignoring my request. Ensuring Lorrie skipped three feeding sessions yesterday.
Theo’s POVThe days have passed in unimaginable pain as I mourn the theft of my child, and I also watch my mates do the same thing.I feel like an utter failure, and as I sit and ponder the reality I then realise I lost my best friend, beta and Calley and Arlo in one foul swoop.How did such a thing happen so easily?Especially when we trained to prevent such a thing.Even Danes members failed miserably and he’s travelling here today, his communication less than moody.I’ve been sitting alone in my office pondering life and the atrocities that have amounted to this very day and I see all of my failures. Can count them precisely.I suppose that’s why I’m avoiding everyone.What type of Alpha fails his people?!My computer pings with an email, giving me a welcome distraction as I jump out of my own mind to concentrate on something other than the trashy surrounding me.It’s Dane, he’s crossing the border. Warning me incase the pack decide to attack.I feel awful, despite being down two t
Three Weeks Later Hati's POVWeeks pass as we adjust to living here below the burned pack-land of Leo.I cannot believe he's still alive, but then again what more can I expect from these peasants and their ability to slip through my fingers?The child, Lora. Or Lorrie as we've been calling her has settle very nicely. She's sitting by herself now, rolling around and has become very content within this smaller pack of mine, and everyone loves her. Worshiping their lunar even in this childish stage of her life.And the girl, Calley, keeps a very close eye on her.That day was quite something when we tied our blood in a bonding agreement."Eko, eko, azarak. Eko, eko, zomelak. Bagabi lacha bachabe, Lamac cahi achababe. Eko, eko, azarak. Eko, eko, zomelak," Gretchen had changed as she created the bond that would be undeniable."Repeat after me, girl. I, fill name, solemnly swear to bind my blood with Hati in agreement for servitude. Bonding our blood forever more as I lay my life down at
