Chapter 1.

Gaia POV.

Strutting through the halls of the one of my many nightclubs, the nighclubs I named each after one of the seven deadly sins. The music pumping as it vibrates through my being. My black Louboutin heels click on the polished black floors. My stocking clad legs are on display, a tiny black leather wrap-around skirt and jacket showing my cleavage. My long blonde hair hangs in loose curls down my back. My face is done perfectly with a dark smoky eye making my blue eyes pop and a slutty red lip. Walking closer to my office when the moans of sin grow louder the closer I get to my office.

With a chuckle, I throw open the door to see my Beta Calista fucking one of my girls over the sofa. I smirk as I walk into the room.

“Fuck, Gaia. Could you have warned me before walking in?” Calista growls at me as he goes still. I chuckle as I look at the two of them. I lick my top lip at the sight in front of me.

“Don’t stop on my account. Carry on, Britney doesn’t mind an audience, do you, my love?” I say with a purr as I move closer to her, as my gaze doesn’t leave Calista. I raise an eyebrow at him as I bend down and kiss Britney.

“Carry on. After all, you are in my office. Or do you want me to finish her off instead?” I sit on the sofa opposite and cross my legs over as I lean back into the sofa.

I’m 25 years old and took over as the Goddess of Hell when I turned 18 from my father Fenrir. Humans know me as the devil. So for the past 7 years, I have been building my empire of nightclubs. Well, I say nightclubs. We also have private rooms in each location for orgies. My parents were mortified when I told them, but they soon got on board with it. We don’t just cater to shifters, but humans, too especially after I revealed the existence of shifters. The human government wasn’t too pleased but they had no choice but to accept it and get on board. After all I am the Goddess of Hell. The sounds of the moaning woman in front of me brings me back from my thoughts.

I love sex, it’s great. My girls and guys get paid well and are taken care of by me, regardless of if they work the bar, the pole or the private parties. I never liked the idea of men or Alpha’s being allowed to stick their cocks in whatever they wanted and it not be frowned upon. So I gave the big fuck you to them all and changed the rule. Tradition has it that she-wolves are to be pure for their mate, no matter how long it takes them to find each other. Well, not this she-wolf. I don’t want a mate and I prefer my life the way it is. After all, how can I be the Goddess of Hell and be free of sin?

I watch as Calista pounds into my lovely Britney as she moans. His grey eyes are locked on mine and I make a kissy face at him. Calista hasn’t found his mate. Even though I don’t want a mate, I made sure I would never find him or her, I wouldn’t mind fucking Calista though. The man is a stallion and is hung like one, too. My phone pulls me from my private little porn show.

“Britney baby, moan louder for me.” I tell her as I answer the phone, knowing it’s Nicholas.

“Hey bro, how’s life treating you?” the screams of Britney and the grunts of Calista echo around me.

“You better not be fucking as I’m speaking to you?” he growls out and I chuckle as I watch Calista pull out of Britney as he goes down on her licking and sucking on her clit. Her fingers in his hair. I bite my lower lip. What I would give to wrap my lips around that cock of his. Fuck!

“What? I’m not that perverted to talk to you whilst being fucked. Thank you. So what’s up?” Yeah that’s a complete lie. I have answered the phone to him when I was having an amazing foursome. I move towards Britney and pinch her nipple. I wink at her.

“I need a favour. The boys and I want to book a room of yours for a bachelor party. So can my little sister hook me up with I don’t know a few girls and a few bottles?” I feel my panties becoming wet at the sight in front of me.

“Yeah, I can. Send me the details and I’ll arrange it all. Got to go. I’m about to have some fun. Love ya.” I hang up the call and capture Britney’s lips with mine. As Calista pushes back into her again. His eyes were not leaving mine again. I gulp as I watch him. The temperature in the room rises as my breathing becomes laboured. My wolf Kodiak starts growling when I feel something inside me start to snap. The barrier I created is breaking. I back off away from them as I stagger towards the office desk.

“Gaia. Are you ok?” I lean over the desk and wave backwards at him to say I’m fine. When I wipe my face and wipe away blood from my nose.

“Kodiak, what’s happening?” I clutch my stomach as my claws slip. I hear Calista shout in the background, no doubt getting Britney out of the office as the shift takes over.

“The barrier to the bond is breaking. He’s here, I smell him.” Shit! The barrier I put in place so I wouldn’t find my mate. I search for the intruder when Kodiak takes full control as I shift into my large black wolf with red eyes, like my father. Only difference is Kodiak has white tips on her ears and tail. I pull on my magic to fix the barrier but I can’t, the pain I just felt is the pain of betrayal. My mate was fucking another. How ironic, well I won’t stand in their way.

Pacing the room, I managed to hit the panic button before she burst forward, locking the office down. The scent grows stronger as my instinct to mate and mark takes over like a tsunami. I need to get out of here. But I can’t I’m trapped in here.

“Gaia, open the door!” Bangs are heard, but I can’t open the door when Kodiak whimpers. No! it can’t be?

The door is slammed open and an equally large grey wolf stands watching me. No! he can’t be my mate.

“MATE!” I snarl as I lunge towards him. When he suddenly shifts and in his place stands Calista. I shift midair, landing on top of him.

“How is this possible? I have been with you for 7 years, Gaia. What did you do?” I scramble to get off him when he holds me firmly in place. Kodiak whimpers before she growls, smelling Britney on him.

“I never wanted a mate, so I blocked the bond.” He gasps as he let’s me go.

“Do it then. Reject me!” I gulp I go to speak when I can’t even utter the words. Tears leave my eyes. Oh shit, the things we have done and seen each other do. I turn and stagger towards my desk and grab a bottle of whiskey, taking the lid off and gulp it down.

“I’m sorry, Calista, you deserve better than me.” I turn to face him as I feel my power roll through me.

“I Gaia Williams, Goddess of Hell…” His lips on mine cut off the words as the bottle falls from my hand. As he picks me up and I wrap my legs around his waist.

“Don’t even think about it. I love you and have done for too long. I will not allow you to do this. You are my mate, whether or not you like it.”

What the fuck do I do? This is not how I wanted to live my life. I can’t have a mate. I’m not the mate type. Why did the barrier break? There is only one who will have that answer. Aunty Selene the fucking Moon Goddess and one who is responsible for the mate bond.
