Leo POV.
“Tell me why we are here again?” I shout over the loud pumping music as I try to get my mate’s to tell me again why we are here in a strip club stroke nightclub called Lust.
“Because it is recommended and besides, there is no harm is looking. You seem to be enjoying the sight.” My mate, Jake says as he squeezes my hard cock through my jeans. I groan out when the most beautiful scent wafts towards us. Myself, Jake and our other mate Gabriel all sniff the air.
“How is it possible?” Gabriel asks, and I gulp as my eyes land on a man. He is definitely an Alpha, tall and all muscle. His steel-grey eyes locked on mine as Jake and Gabriel follow my line of sight and they both whisper the word I know would solidify the bond. Mate!
He walks towards us and I see he is unmarked and I smirk, knowing this will be fun. I will mark him and so will my mate’s. We are all Alpha blood and to conquer is in our DNA. It makes no difference that I am what the other’s call the Rogue King. He will serve me like everyone else does.
He walks past us and I become confused when I see him walk towards the stage as I see a beautiful blonde-haired woman step out onto the stage. My breath catches in my throat.
“Let’s welcome to the stage, Gaia.” The DJ announces as I am lost in the way she walks towards the pole in her clear soled platform heels. A red g-string and a tiny bra, which does nothing to conceal her full breasts. I sit down at the table in front of the stage, my eyes not leaving her.
“Maybe the scent coming from that man is hers.” I shake my head as I take a sniff as she works the pole. Shaking my head.
“No, her scent is different. They are both our mates.” Gabriel chuckles as he watches her every movement, the way she twirls around the pole. The way her back arches as she spins, her legs locked. She licks her lips as she looks at each of us. This is our own show. My wolf growls at the thought of the other people in here watching his mate. My cock strains against my jeans. All I want to do is bury it inside her.
Her gaze lands on mine as she slides down the pole, landing in the splits as she brings both legs together, giving me a perfect view of g-string clad pussy. I lick my lips. Wanting nothing more than to crawl up and drive my tongue inside her as she clamps her sweet mouth around one of our mate’s cocks. I can tell she is sin incarnate and is dangerous. But I am worse. You don’t get called the Rouge King for nothing. I will conquer her and so will our mates.
The crowd goes wild as she finishes her set. She doesn’t look back as she leaves the stage. I stand, followed by Jake and Gabriel. We need to find her and stake our claim on her.
“What do you think you’re doing, Gaia? I won’t allow you to do this.” I growl as I see the man with steel-grey eyes man handles my mate.
“What I do is no concern of yours. You maybe my mate, but don’t forget who and what I am. Let go of me now, Calista.” She growls before they both turn to face us. I watch as they both gasp. I smile at them both as the most intoxicating scent fills my nose.
The man, Calista, confirms his acknowledgment of us.
“Mate!” I smile as I look towards Gaia. She looks mortified. She takes a step back, shaking her head as tears line her eyes. I go to speak when she opens a portal and runs towards it.
“Wait!” but she is gone. Ok, what the fuck? How is that possible? Who is she?
“Hi.” Calista walks towards us. I smile at him.
“Hi, I am Leo, this is Jake and Gabriel. We are your mates.” I tell him as I crash my lips on his. He melts into the kiss as he groans into my mouth. His tongue battling mine for dominance. This is going to be fun four Alpha males competing for the attention of one woman.
Breaking the kiss, I gaze into his eyes as he gazes into mine.
“So where did she go?” Gabriel asks from behind me and he lifts his gaze to him. With a sigh, he turns to where she disappeared from.
“She only found out yesterday that I was her mate. It’s complicated. Now today she comes face to face with you three. So, knowing Gaia, she has gone back to Hell.” I furrow my eyebrows at his words. She has gone back to Hell? Is that a metaphor for her home? Like she lives in a shitty part of town? Yeah, that’s got to be it.
“Well, can we go and see her? She has to know we are her mates.” Jake asks him and I pray to the goddess. He says yes when he sighs and shakes his head.
“No.” I growl. Ok this is going to be difficult.
“What do you mean, no? she has nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, with her being a stripper, she can’t be ashamed of her job.” I say with a chuckle when Calista growls in warning. I hold my hands up. Ok did I say something wrong?
“She was filling in for one of the girls. She is not embarrassed about where she lives or of her job. So let’s put it like this, shall we? You ever heard of Fenrir?” I nod well, of course, who hasn’t heard of the legendary God Of Hell and the Harbinger Of Death. I believe my dear old father and his whore of a mate had the pleasure of being killed by his sister.
“Well, if know of Fenrir, then you will know of his daughters and son.” My eyes widen at what he is saying.
“Gaia. Is his daughter. The Goddess of Hell, The Devil. The Harbinger of Death. When I said she has gone to Hell, I truly mean the underworld. She is the owner of this club and several others like it. Gaia is a Goddess and you think she is embarrassed. No! she is far from it.” I open and close my mouth with what Calista is telling us. When I hear a growl behind us. I shiver under it’s weight as I turn and see him. The God Fenrir.
“Let me guess, you three are her other mate’s?” He chuckles as he steps towards us and we all bow to him. Well, except Calista. His gaze lands on me. He raises an eyebrow at me and I gulp, knowing he played a role in the death of my father. I don’t hold any grudges towards him or Destinee his sister. My father had it coming. I was only a toddler when he was killed and so never really had a relationship with him.
“Yes, and guess what? She ran. In fact, she is in Hell right now, no doubt looking for a way out of this.” I blink. She is what?
“Leave it to me. You stay here with these three and explain everything. We can’t let her do what she is planning.” I blink at his words. What is she planning on doing?
“Welcome to the family.” Fenrir claps me on my back as he opens a portal and steps inside just as we hear a scream coming from it. Gaia! I go to move when the portal closes.
“Shall we?” Calista gestures for us to follow him and we do. We need answers as to why our mate ran, and I think we need to get our heads around the idea that we are fated to the Goddess of Hell, Gaia Williams. The niece of Alpha Destinee and Alpha Titus Blackwood.
Gaia POV.“Fuck!” I scream as I throw an ornament against the door of the living room in the palace. Why did she not give me time to get used to the idea of being fated to Calista before she threw the other three at me the next bastard day?“Selene. Why?” I scream out as my chest heaves just as shift into my wolf. Kodiak trashes the room as the door bursts open and my dad stands there.“Kodiak, STOP!”Lifting my head, I whimper as he stalks closer to me. This isn’t fair. I shift back as I run into my dad’s arms. Tears streaming down my face.“Why is this happening, dad? She didn’t give me time to get used to Calista, and now she throws three more at me. This isn’t fucking fair. I don’t want any of them. I would rather lose the throne and…”“No, I won’t allow that to happen to you. You are my daughter and the rightful heir. What you did, Gaia was reckless. You should have known that Selene would have known what you did and how she is. You are paying for that now. You and your stubborn
Calista POV.“Tell me what you meant about your situation being complicated?” Leo asks as I look at each of my new mates. I must say they are all drop dead gorgeous. How the fuck Gaia doesn’t want anything to do with any of us is beyond me. Yes, granted her insecurity stems from her cousin’s mate. But she can’t tar us all with the same bloody brush, can she?“Well, I have been at Gaia’s side since she was six years old. She made me the ruler of Hell until she became of age to take over at 18. When she was 11, she witnessed her cousin Alpha of Alpha’s Dahlia Blackwood deal with the betrayal of her mate. Bearing in mind her mate was older than her and would have known when he was 18 that Dahlia was his mate. However, he continued his relationship with his girlfriend and got her pregnant. When Dahlia turned 18, not only did she find her mate, it came to light that her mate had a pup on the way with another. This caused Dahlia to reject him. But he wasn’t going to accept the rejection unt
Jake POV.This is some fucked up shit. I stood frozen as I watch Leo and Gaia fight it out, then he tried to forcibly mark her. I mean, I know he is the more dominant one, but fuck, what was he thinking? The situation was already volatile without him doing that shit.“Leo, you are bang out of order. What the fuck, man?” I snarl at him. Usually I’m the one who is the peace keeper but seeing that I’m seriously angry and so is my wolf Gunner.“I don’t know, it just happened. She is a handful. I won’t be attacked by anyone Jake. What was I supposed to do let her fucking kill me? I did what I thought would subdue her. I won’t apologise for it.” He growls at me when Calista walks out with an unconscious Gaia in his arms. She has been dressed in a white shirt as I move towards her bed and pull the quilt back as he places her gently on the pillow.“All of you. Listen to me. I have removed her memories. You all need to agree on a story for when she wakes up. Under no circumstances are any of y
Gaia POV.Waking up, feeling the strong sense of arousal. I moan as I feel the tingles all over my body. My nipples harden as my core pulses to it’s own beat. My fingers travel down my shirt. When my eyes snap open.Jolting up, I look down. How did I get back here? Who the fuck changed me?“Kodiak, are you awake, girl?” I ask my wolf, who groans out as she stretches in my mind.“I’m up. What’s up? I was having a delicious, sexy dream. You with four men. Girl, it was so fucking hot.” She pants and I shake my head at her horniness.“How did we get back here? What do you remember?” I ask her as the tingles become stronger. I climb out of bed, my legs are shaking as my breath comes out in pants as I stagger towards the bedroom door.“I don’t know. All I remember is being in the club, then nothing.” I clutch the door frame as a moan leaves my lips. This isn’t heat. This is something else.“What do you mean, then nothing?” I ask her as I breathe, trying my best to shake the need to fuck som
Leo POV.Gaia will learn. She may be a dominant female, but I’m the dominant Alpha male and I won’t stand for her defiance.“Sooo, what do we intend to do with her when our fiery little mate returns?” I turn and look towards Gabriel with a smile as I kiss him on his lips.“Well, I’m thinking she needs to learn who the real Alpha is in this mate bond.” I tell him as he chuckles, shaking his head.“It’s your funeral. I will say some lovely words in my eulogy.” He scoffs as I hit him in his chest and he grunts before erupting into laughter. Just as the door to the living room opens and in she comes.“Gaia!” Calista and Jake both exclaim together as we all stand and walk towards her when she holds her hand up, stopping us in our tracks.“Give me a moment, please.” She says with a sigh as she walks past us and over to the bar in the corner.She holds a bottle up and shakes it in our direction, and I frown. Does she always drink? Well, that will stop.“No takers?” she asks over her shoulder
Gabriel POV.Standing looking over the balcony as the wolves and humans dance on the dancefloor below. My gaze settles over the bar where I spot Gaia. She is hammered with no fucks given.I know this mate bond business is hard on her, but she needs to get over it because we aren’t going anywhere.“What you looking at?” Leo says from behind me, my gaze not leaving her as I watch her stagger towards the centre of the dance floor, swaying her hips as she moves. He growls as he watches her. He moves to follow her when I grab his arm, shaking my head at him.“Leave her, let her blow off some steam, besides Jake is there and so is Calista. She won’t cause any trouble. Not after her spanking.” I tell him with a slight chuckle as he moves back to my side. His bare arms are placed on the railing as he leans forward, watching her.“It’s not her I’m worried about. It’s the unmated males and the humans. The way they are looking at her makes me want to mark her in front of them all.” He growls out
Gaia POV.Kissing Calista is everything and more. We land on my bed in a mass of tangled limbs. Not breaking our kiss, I moan into him as I wrap my legs around his waist. My hands going to his shirt as my claws slip, reducing his shirt to shreds.“Gaia, maybe we should wait?” I growl as I lick and kiss his muscular chest. How I have wanted to do this for so long.“No, we should do this. I want to do this. Wait. Don’t you want to do this?” I stop and look up into his eyes. He smiles at me as I blink. Goddess, I’m so fucking stupid. Unwrapping my legs, I push him back as I move to bring my knees up to my chest.“Gaia. It’s not that I don’t want to…” I scoff as I look away.“No, it just seems that you prefer them. After all, while I was asleep you had your mouth wrapped around Leo’s cock. But hey, it’s fine.” I fight back the tears. What the fuck is wrong with me? He is meant to be my mate and want me as much as I want him. But I feel like a complete fool.Moving off the bed, I walk towa
Calista POV.Fucking perfect timing. How the fuck did they get down here? I climb off the bed and move towards Gaia as I scoop her up and she buries her face in my chest as I walk her back towards the bed.“Calista, I don’t feel too good.” She says as her eyes roll and she goes slack in my arms. I climb onto the bed and place her flush against my chest. Grabbing the quilt, I pull it up and tuck it around us. Ignoring the looks from the three stooges, that gate crashed hell.“What are you all doing here?” as I look down at her on my chest. Her breathing is even as she sleeps.“We came to find you both. Didn’t realise you two would be having sex,” Gabriel says with a chuckle and I groan out.“Well, yes, we were, but she … she freaked out before you all came barging in here.” I snarl out as Gaia whimpers and I rub her back, purring as I do. She relaxes further on my chest.“What do you mean, she freaked out? What, couldn’t she handle you?” Leo asks with a chuckle as I growl.“Oh, she cou
Epilogue 1.Rosa POV.Today I leave for the settlement at Moonlight Cove. I don’t want to go. The reason being that Charlie has been awful to me the last few times I have been there; I don’t understand why he is being a total twat.“Rosa, baby. Come on.” My mom Gaia shouts at me from the living room and I groan as I walk like a lost puppy down the stairs. My parents know I don’t want to go, but this is what I have been trained for since I was five years old. It sucks ass being the next Oracle, especially a wolf one. I haven’t told them why I don’t want to go.“Stop grumbling. It will be fun.” My wolf Cece says in my head and I scoff at her. We shifted a few days ago, and she hasn’t shut up since.The shift was painful and I won’t be doing it again anytime soon, that’s for damn sure. We managed to hold off me going to settlement when I was 16, but now I’m 18 and I have to go. Maybe I can run away and they won’t find me?“Don’t even think about it, young lady.” I turn and see my dad Cal
Gaia POV.It has been a few weeks since the not funeral. Everything has settled down and there has been nothing bad happening so far. For that, I can only hold my breath because there will always be trouble waiting around the corner to cause damage and chaos.Rosa has been doing her lesson every Saturday and has been spending time with Charlie. They are so funny together, her with her mischievous ways and him with his nonchalance. He isn’t easily riled, which is a good thing, because we all know how Rosa can get under your skin and it takes a lot of patience with her.The first time she came back from her training. Dragus scooped her up and sniffed her and was asking who had been around her and I told him it was the people from the settlement it is safe to say the following week he tagged along and yes you guessed it, he found his second chance mate. it was no other than Odessa.He is happy and so is she, but at first she ran away because she was worried that he would reject her, espe
Gaia POV.The day has come that we lay Britany to rest. It has been a few days and things are calm for a change. But I know it’s because the pack is mourning the loss of their Luna and after today they will lose their Alpha.I am walking through the packhouse in a black dress and my hair is down, minimal makeup is on my face and I have my black sunglasses. I haven’t been sleeping much as I know things are going to change rapidly when Nic leaves us to go in search of himself. It’s the same thing dad done, but he was searching for his mates.I hope Nic returns to us better than before. All we can do is keep a close eye on him. He had locked himself away from everyone and refused to eat or see anyone, so all we can do is watch from afar.The pack is sombre and some look at Nic with disdain as we walk towards the family crypt. I hold his hand and give it a squeeze. But he keeps his head down and I want to take his pain away, but I can’t. He needs to do this.We stop in front of Selene, wh
Gaia POV.Walking on pack grounds. The place is in turmoil as the warriors are in battle formation and I sigh, rubbing my forehead.“What is going on?” I say to my dad and he shrugs his shoulders as we walk closer to them.“Ok, can someone explain what the fuck is going on?” I shout and they all turn to look at me as my mates and family come running towards us.“Oh, thank the Gods you are safe, what happened?” My mom throws her arms around me and I explain everything and she looks at me in shock before she looks at my dad and he has a pout on his lips. Yeah, I get that from him.“Please tell me you didn’t do that?” she asks him and he just shrugs his shoulders when mom groans and rubs her temples.“God dammit, Fen, you can tell where she gets it from.” I move away slowly, not wanting to be scolded by her. If you didn’t know this, but my mom is fucking scary when she is mad. So yeah, dad is on his own.“Traitor.” I hear him mumble through the link. My eyes widen. Wait, I can link.“Kod
Gaia POV.“No, that’s not possible. No power can unlock that gate without the Guardian.” I say to him when he shakes his head with a chuckle.“That’s where you are wrong. You are or sorry, were the Goddess of Hell your authority overrules that of the Guardian. You willingly gave your power to the monsters. They are growing stronger and it will only be a matter of time before they break the Gate of Purgatory. Releasing the damned back into the world. Do you see what you have done? Gaia, you have caused destruction. All because you couldn’t contain your power.” I look at him in shock. I shake my head. Gods, he is stupid.“No, it was Xena’s power and the damn curse she put on me that has caused this. I tried to fight it and I failed. I wanted to get rid of it. Xena’s soul is feeding the Gate, so is her power, it also feeds it. My darkness, as you know, had been taken over by her power. If I didn’t do what I did, I would have destroyed everything. You know this, with my power, Zeus, I am
Gaia POV.The feeling of something silky against my back and the sun beaming on my face wakes me from a dreamless sleep. Squinting as I open my eyes. I cover my eyes with my forearm as everything is bright. Too damn bright.The sound of birds, running water and soft music fills me. I remove my forearm and see I am laying on a shimmering silk cushion. I look down and see I’m wearing a long, flowing white gown. My wrists, ankles, and neck have gold cuffs and I take in the room.The room is spotless, all white with gold touches to it. The floor is marble white tiles with the same gold swirling through it. I look towards the window and it’s not a window. It’s completely open, with long sheer white voile curtains blowing delicately in the breeze.I pull myself up and walk towards them, and I gasp in surprise.I’m in a paradise. The grass is green and lush, palm trees, animals big and small roam around living peacefully. Predator and prey living side by side. The sky is a mix of blues and l
Jake POV.We all watch on in horror as these shadows fed on Gaia. The room is icy cold and we can see our breaths. With each bite or suck from these shadows, you can see the power being pulled from her. It’s dark misty stuff, then it starts changing colour and becomes red.No-one moves or speaks as we all stand there watching as she opens her mouth, her back arches up and a silent scream tears out of her, tears stream down her face.When her back hits the ground and the shadows slither away with a purr like hiss. Fen runs to her and we follow behind.Nothing is making sense with what has just happened. Then she revokes her power and title. That is when it hits us. It was her power, her darkness, that those things were feeding on. They were taking it away from her.“Will she be ok?” I whisper as I touch her cold, clammy skin with a shaking hand.“I don’t know. You saw what she did. She is no longer the Goddess and her power is gone.” Fen slumps on the floor, cradling Gaia to his chest.
Gaia POV.I watch on in horror as I try to fight back. This isn’t my magic, this is … the curse. Fuck!I try to fight back as I advance forward and grab my father and fling him away as I move to Nic.“STOP, STOP, STOP!” I scream, but I keep moving forward as I try to pull myself back.My hand moves and grabs Nic by his throat, and his eyes fly open as my claws extend. No, no, no, no!“You’re … not … my sister! Are … you?” I try to pull my claws back, but I can’t.“No. I’m not.” As I fight the power, my hand tightens when I’m knocked away from Nic, and I keep fighting. When I turn and see my dad in his beast form as he growls at me.Oh fuck! This is going to hurt. I try again to open the mind link, but I can’t. I can’t stop myself. All I can do is watch on in absolute horror.“Whatever you are, stop!” I scream again when a cold laugh sounds in my head.“No, you know you want this, Gaia. Give in, all your life you have been shunned by them when you should have been loved. They hate you,
TRIGGER WARNING, PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!Leo POV.We all watch in horror at what Gaia has just said. What the fuck is going on?“The first time she felt your betrayal, she caught you in your bed with three whores, yes?” I watch as she balls her fists to her sides and I can feel the anger, sadness, and need for revenge build in her.“ANSWER ME!” she screams and I see a few jump at her tone. She is filled with hate and will hurt him.“Yes,” she growls at him, and so does Sofia. I look between them both and move closer to her when Calista stops me and shakes his head and I can’t read his expression. He is cold.“Do you remember when she collapsed? When she fucking passed out clutching her belly.” I take a breath at her words when the temperature in the room plummets and I know she is pissed.“She was pregnant with your pup. Your pain of betrayal caused her to miscarry in the fucking shower of your room. Then because of that, when you continued and then started beating her, th
