Lilith's POVCeleste and Theseus show me upstairs to a grand bedroom that is dressed down in pink and gold. It looks as if once, it may have been a nursery.There are safety catches on everything, and there are stoppers in all of the plugs, but where there should be a crib, there's a large double bed. I walk around the room, looking at the handmade bedding—the printed photos on the wall and the baby pink draping curtains. Outside two doors that I had previously presumed were windows is a balcony that is lined with black iron fences to prevent anyone from falling off to their death.It's pretty out here with the wildlife and the trees swaying not far away. It's serene.Just standing here looking out over a more beautiful land than anything I have ever seen makes me sad.This could have been my life. I could have lived here as a child with the two people who were supposed to be my parents.I could have grown in this room and watched life pass by each year out here on the balcony.I
Celestes POVI leave our home and delve. Outside into the wilderness to breathe. I never thought I would see Lilith again, not after the last time I meddled with fate by bringing her up here. Zeus had reprimanded me and took my ability to see my creations for a whole month. But now she is here and staying under our roof, and I'm sure that some of the other gods have already noted the terrible argument Theseus and I had just had. Things are reported quickly up here because there is an order in which we are destined to behave, and arguing amongst ourselves is not something that is permitted. Usually, two gods of beings living in the same realm wouldn't be living with one another, but unfortunately or fortunately, whichever way you look at it, Theseus and I were fated to be with one another. Our fate wasn't as strong as the fate of our creations, but with evolution comes genetic markers that act stronger, or so I believe with Hati.Hati was just a wolf and, unbeknownst to us, had h
Theo's POVLeo is having his warriors ready to infiltrate Damian's land from the north whilst I lead my own to cross the south side.Three days, that's how long I agree to wait.It shouldn't be that long. I should have gone there that day. Bowled in there and got my girl back, but Leo and Khai had made a valid argument.We don't want to lose anyone. Leo has stated he has no ambition to go to those parents in his pack to reveal that whilst he had his warriors helping out a friend, their son lost their life to Damian, of all people, and I get it. I think about Arlo or Sebation, two aspiring warriors in my pack and I'd hate to have to tell Lucas or Sebation's parents that I had led them into a war that caused their death. It is almost unthinkable to relay those words, and I haven't yet had to do it since I've taken over as Alpha of this pack, so I guess I am blissfully unaware of how exactly it feels to lose a young member of my pack and do the alpha duty of revealing such a thing to
Lilith's POVTheseus leaves me when I've dried my body from tears.He lays me on the bed, covering me gently with the throw as he tucks me in as if I were a child.I'm too tired to argue, too depleted to care.My emotions, the ones I've hidden deep inside of me for as long as I can remember, seem to have taken everything out of me.I didn't realise I harbour such feelings, and I never knew my life amounted to emotions.I always stayed humble and believed my life was heading in the right direction.That my ordeals were for a reason.But now I am questioning everything, and I want to mull it over, but my body doesn't want to allow me to do that.Sleep beckons me, my body falling into slumber despite my fighting it.My sleep is fitful and disturbed, the memories of my life with Damian ruining my snooze.Cold air wakes me, my body jostling against a warm wall, and the wall smells amazing.Utterly incredible and mouth-wateringly good.My hand moves over the hard planes of a chest, and I'm
Khai's POVLilith introduces us to Theseus as if we wouldn't know who he is, and he's far too humble to make out he's more than an ordinary man when in fact, he owns more power over this world and half the population inside it than the next man. He is tall, his hair long, and he's a brute of a man, which I hadn't expected. I knew who he was in an instant, but the old books I have read featuring him far from accurately describing him. I suppose he's been around for centuries, and maybe he has nothing better to do with his time other than work out. Or perhaps Gods have his physic... I know I've heard stories about Zeus and his god-like features. Not that he's been down to this realm in a long time. We stay in the living room talking amongst ourselves until there's nothing left to say. Theseus looks around, almost dismissing us in an instant as he nods to the stairs and asks where he can retire. Retire?Theo jumps into his alpha mode, quickly interpreting that Theseus is tired or
Theo's POV Things nearly went south there with whatever Khai was doing to Lilith, but now things have turned a whole one-eighty. They are making out, like dry humping and him pushing her to the bed making out. He rips the thin dress she is wearing, the material splitting down the middle as if it were only made from the finest material, and he pushes her onto the bed so she lays before the pair of us naked. Her breasts are undoubtedly larger, and her stomach is swollen with the evidence of a life living deep inside her. That thought turns me the fuck on. I watch, though, for a moment allowing them to let their passion take them away to a place that we've not visited in what feels like a god-awful long time. Khai spreads her legs so he can sit between them comfortably, her pussy on full show and what a magnificent sight it is. Her lips are swollen and wet, and I can smell her arousal here from the end of the bed. Her scent sends me crazy. It is as if I'm frenzied inside,
Lilith's POV Our night flew by in sex, small rests and more sex. They couldn't take their hands or mouths off of me, and weirdly, I feel all the better for it. Before, it felt like my soul was seeped in darkness, my insides cold, freezing by the second, but this morning, I woke a new person. The cold is gone, and so are the bad moods and awful thoughts I hadn't realised were there until they had already gone. I wake between them, sandwiched against two perfectly chiselled naked bodies. Theo is more prominent, built and more muscular, whereas Khai is softer but no less built. I guess it's in the hard lines and soft lines where the difference lies. Anyway, I marvelled between the two of them as I lay still, watching them sleep peacefully. I'm home, finally and what a whirlwind that was. Apparently, I've only been away for eight days, though it felt much longer than that, and despite knowing how little time I spent away, I'm still astonished these two didn't rip each oth
Theo's POVI'm running on adrenaline today, my eyes dropping whenever I take five to sit down during my busy schedule.Last night was... well, it was something.To say we all reacquainted on the basest level one could, would be a mild understatement of the century.We've missed her; that much is evident, and yet the words barely left our mouths because we were far too busy fucking to say much to her at all. Maybe a few words slipped out here and there out of pure heated passion, but other than that, we let our bodies do the talking whilst our hormones led the path.I find myself smiling at the memory as I am in the office for the first time alone.Obviously, I've been kind of busy this morning. I was calling Leo to inform him of the progress regarding Lilith but also to be careful not to trigger his crossing the boundary. I'll admit I was worried he might have had his warriors still waiting at their border for my cue to trespass but luckily for me; he had realised I had a change of h
