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
Lilith's POVBy seven pm, we are all sitting around the large dining room table with Calley and Arlo, Theo's dad, Angela, and most importantly, Theseus.I haven't said a word to Theseus since he brought me back here, and I feel... upset. After all, he came down here to earth to aid me in my journey through fate. Now I am not sure whether that is a guilty conscious or whether he really does see another way forward, but I guess the day away from him has enabled some dark thoughts to start seeping back in. I thought they had all but gone last gnats, but I thought wrong. They are back... unfortunately.The room is drenched in a happy ambient, and I'm sat between my boys, watching those around us eat the food we had cooked this evening. Everything is eaten without complaints, so I take that as confirmation that Khai and I did an excellent job on the beef stew and dumplings that Calley talked me through cooking. Mind-linking is a random thing but a good one because otherwise, Khai and
Theseus's POV"My darling, how are you today?" I ask Celeste as soon as I lock myself into the tiny room, Theo calls a guest room. The bathroom is tiny, and the shower cubicle barely big enough for my body. The bed, too, is short and not as wide as I am used to and don't even get me started on the mattress. And even with how uncomfortable the living quarters are, the happiness of seeing my child, feeling her and watching her keeps me here."It's lonely here without you, my love. How is Lilith?""Being around her people enables her empath ways to recoup and regenerate. Her eyes are much brighter, shining as they should, and she's caught up with her mates, reaffirming the broken bond...""I'm glad she's home where she belongs, for now.""She doesn't want to take over our roles, Celeste. Her emotions turned dark after I had mentioned something about her ability to lead our people.""She is the only heir for the both of us, one day, we will take our leave and go back into the pool of so
