#Chapter37Welcome Home Pt 2-01Catalaya's POVMy friends and I were all in my room talking since we had nothing better to do. The ball was starting in 4 hours, our dresses and suits had been picked, and the girls and I's hair and nails were already done. So all we had left to do was wait. The whole castle was bustling with excitement as the hour drew nearer, you could feel it in the air as the servants finished decorating the grand hall which was gigantic might I add, and the cooks were finishing up the last touches on the meals they prepared.While all that was happening, I was grilling my friends to tell me about their mates. I was so happy for them. I knew how much each and every one of them wished for their mate. I was the youngest of the group, and I found my mate on my 17th birthday, but they didn't. Even though they hid it, I knew they were all longing for their other half, especially Nic, since he was the oldest of us and had been waiting on his mate for four yea
#Chapter38Welcome Home Pt 2-02I tried looking for Dominic some more since he was avoiding me. That boy ran out of the dining hall like his hair was on fire the moment breakfast was over. I knew it was because he was expecting me to ask about him being mated to a guy or even say something bad or whatever fears he had, but I only wanted to congratulate him and tell him that I've known he was gay since he was 14. I, however, didn't get the chance to at the time since he was nowhere to be found. I guessed he and Author went out somewhere, but he couldn't hide from me forever since he had to come to my Coronation. I was restless since all my friends were with their mates. Sam and Adonis went to earth in order to inform and arrange transport for the pack members so they could attend the celebration. Dad was busy doing devily stuff like making deals with humans who had come to see him, and Lilith was busy training the succubuses. I was so bored that at one point, I considered te
#Chapter39Welcome Home Pt 2-03At that moment, two very strong emotions ran through me. Regretted acting so selfish after everything Nic was going through and pure rage at Author for making my brother feel as if he wasn't good enough for him. So with those two guidings me, I transformed, and Legacy took over so she could feel out Author's aura, and when she had a lock on it, I took over and went to find my prey. There was no way in hell he's gonna get away with this.After finding Author, I concealed my aura barely and teleported to where he was. I ended up in a game room where he and four of the other sins, Liam, Eric, Brooke and Jace, were playing some games I'd never seen before but seemed quite interesting. Not wanting to get caught up in the distracting entertainment, I turned my attention to the approximately 6 ft demonic male I was about to give a beating of a lifetime. Pooling all of my strength, I reared back my fist and with as much demonic force as I could muster
#Chapter40Welcome Home Pt 2-04"err I mean am one cocky bastard so I soon became the sin of pride. Long story short when I realized Dominic was my mate I was overjoyed but then the words my father said to me the day he threw me in that lake replayed in my head and I wondered if I really deserved you or if I'm as disgusting as he claimed, but I swear upon my pride it was never my intention to make you feel unwanted and when you suddenly ran out of the room when breakfast was finished I thought that maybe you didn't want me, I searched but I couldn't find you anywhere and so I decided I'd wait until the ball began I'd find you and we could talk." Author explained."Woah, I was not expecting that," I said when he finished,"But wait, you said you died centuries ago, right? Just how old are you?"Laughing, he replied, "definitely not as old as your father and the prince, but old enough to know humans never learn from the mistakes of their ancestors.""Ok so your qu
#Chapter41Welcome Home Pt 2-05Laughing, I tried my best to evade him, but he's one fast bugger. I managed to escape his grasp a few times, but he eventually caught me. Afterwards, we just flew around in the evening sky, admiring the beautiful hues of the setting sun. However, our sky gazing was cut short when we heard rather than saw Alana flying towards us, and she looked pissed."Uhh hey Lana," I said when she got closer to us."Don't you hey Lana me young lady. You told us you were going to see your dad next time he shows up looking for you leaving us all worried that something happened to you. If one of the maids hadn't seen you and Sam take off we wouldn't know where you were!" She scolded."Why didn't you guys just mind link me or Sam?" I asked."It was the first thing we did but you both turned off your links," she said with a hard glare."Oh right," Sam and I said at the same time with a small chuckle."Come on we need to go or we'll all be l
#Chapter42The Ball-01Catalaya's POVI AM NOW THE CROWNED PRINCESS OF HELL!!!!!Whew! Just had to get that off my chest. It felt so surreal like I was in a dream, and I would wake up any moment now to Jasmine cursing me out. I meant, how could this not be a dream? Me, Catalaya, the weak human rejected of the hybrid pack and a crowned princess of hell, all that sounded like some fantasy dream to me. I have to say I was so nervous when I walked into the room. After all, it was filled with so many people I didn't know all staring at me. It was absolutely terrifying, but I straightened my spine and did what needed to be done. I'm a hellion now and a princess, so I need to shed my cowardness and live up to the expectations of my people. After I'd been officially introduced and crowned, dad and a laughing Merlin kicked me to the crowd to go 'mingle'. So now here I was with a group of succubi talking about things. Well, more like them asking me about stuff I have no exp
#Chapter43The Ball-02"Of course, you deserve a happy ending, sweetie. We all do. I may not know much about heaven since I'm a hellion and all but I know the big guy isn't that cruel. You're like the purest person I've ever met in hell and on earth. So of course, you deserve a happy ending. What you don't see is that this is just the beginning of your life and the pain may be hard right now, but you're strong. I know you'll work your way through it. You may never know, a few centuries from now you'll find somebody whether they're a second chance mate or not, but you'll find somebody who'll see how beautiful and special you are and will love you unconditionally.""Thank you, Adonis, I just really needed to let all my feelings out without being pitied or someone feeling guilty because of my sadness," I said."Your welcome babe and I'm always here whenever you need me." he replied with a kiss on the forehead."Oh by the way I have something for you," he said, letting go of m
#Chapter44The Ball-03"Is it a mate bond? cause I didn't feel anything to support that I mean yeah I found him attractive but so would anyone else so I don't think that qualifies.""No not a mate bond this felt like something more powerful it was like his energy was being flowed through us and it gave me this feeling I'm not sure what it was"I could tell she was struggling really hard to figure this out, but I just told her not to worry. We'll figure it out when it's the right time plus, obviously, he's not my second chance mate because both Legacy and I would have felt it. And so I made my way into the castle to find my friends and party like there's no tomorrow. MEANWHILE, IN THE OTHER REALMSATLANTIS"What the hell kind of training is this? We can't fight unevolved creatures of the sea. Only king Adam knows how to defeat these things," a young man who was once a part of the hybrid pack shouted."You're right. Only the king can defeat one of these on his o
#Chapter141RETALIATION-6At the loss of her weapons Legacy quickly withdraws before Gabriel could swing again."Did you really think a sword blessed by God could be stopped by a mere blade" gabriel asks"Fair point" Legacy responds summoning her scythe "That will not help you either demon I will cut you down here and now to rid the world of the abominations lucifer has brought forth""The only abomination here is you" Legacy shouts swinging her sword at him"Don't think I can't see your true form gabriel""I am an angel what other form should I have than this" gabriel roars releasing his wings as he tries to find a weakness in Legacy's defense that he could exploit "My demonic eyes see through all deceit, did you think you could do all these things and there would be no consequences. I know you have fallen and no matter how much you use luna's magi to try and cover it you cannot deceive me" Legacy tells himLaughing gabriel responds "You're just like
#Chapter140RETALIATION-5The closer she got to the door the more Legacy could feel the magical energy radiating from it. It felt celestial but demonic at the same time, this served to peek the ancient demons interest.Reaching her hand for the knob once again Legacy used appropriate force to twist it, opening the door to finally reveal what laid beyond it.Legacy did not know what she expected to see behind this door, maybe a weapon that could presumably kill lucifer or maybe some instrument made form the celestial magic Aphrodite had been siphoning from the moon goddess all this time. However, what laid before her eyes was nothing she could have guessed. It was a soul.It seemed to have sustained some sort of damage like a piece of it was ripped off.Legacy did not know to whom the soul belonged but with a quick scan using her demonic eyes she would know. Who the soul belonged to did not intrigue Legacy much. What did however, was how it was contained. F
#Chapter139RETALIATION-4"Catalaya had unknowingly gotten rid of your little spell a long time ago" she finishes with a devilish smirk"Impossible" Aphrodite shouts " Oh is it" Legacy teased "A simple mate bond cannot supercede my spell, not when i have that moon bitch's power at my disposal""You may have luna's powers at your disposal but what Andreas and cat have is not a mere matebond they are soulbounded""Impossible, there hasn't been a soulbond since Luna gave supernatural creatures human skin. How can a mere human be able to soulbind with a dragon""A mere human might not be able to but the daughter of lucifer sure as hell can" "No! I won't accept this" Aphrodite screams and lunged at Legacy to attack herThe two females threw spell at spell at each other slowly cracking at each other's barrier. With each spell casted monstrous damage was cause to the once majestic fortress.Realizing that this tit for tat was getting no where Legacy withdrew
#Chapter138RETALIATION-3When she look at her fist she realized it was being held by someone. Her gaze followed the arm that held onto her until her eyes met Andreas' face. Legacy immediately felt a stabbing pain in her hear she knew this was Cat's emotion and it rendered her defenseless for a second giving Aphrodite the chance to cast a protection spell on her self then kicking Legacy away from her. The kick caused Legacy to land a few meters away from the platform. Aphrodite's shrill laughter echoed in her ears as she stood up from her throne and said"It doesn't matter how much of these weaklings you kill I still have the one person you can never defeat, on my side."Legacy raised her head to look at Andreas who stood protectively beside Aphrodite, she could feel another wake of pain coming so she quickly blocked out Catalaya completely. She could not bare to feel this pain right now it would only slow her down. She stood up from the ground and wiped the blood from t
#Chapter137RETALIATION-2"What do you see?" Aphrodite asks She could hear the chaos that ensued outside and the screams of her people but she was not worried because she knew that even if everyone perished she could bring them back. After all she had drained enough celestial power from the moon goddess plus she had the soul stone in her possession. As long as she was alive she could create an endless army."Its the sins along with their mates and lucifer's daughter" the young boy reported. His lifeless eyes recovering as he awakened from his trance, this boy was a seer."So they finally decided to grow a pair and attack" Aphrodite smirked "Tell me, is Lucifer there?""No he isn't," came a voice that made everyone turn to look towards the door.Aphrodite looked up and did a double take when she saw Catalaya standing inside her sanctuary. The fact that she had her arm through the chest of an elemental wolf didn't really register in the goddess's brain. Her attent
#Chapter136RETALIATION-1Catalaya, Dominic, her friends and the remaining 6 of the 7 sins stood at marked spots around a large stretch of bare land. The twelve of them stood in groups of two each group standing at a distance from each other. It was almost dawn and all was quiet, apart from the princess and her companions there was no sign of life on the stretch of land. After making sure all vantage points were covered, Catalaya gave the signal to Alana who stood next to her. Seeing the signal, Alana nodded and raised a coin in her hand. The coin looked nothing like the ones on earth, instead it had an intricately carved symbol on one side, whilst the other had words engraved on it."Ready?" Alana asked."Let's do this," Catalaya responds in a voice that did not belong to her own but to her demon, who had taken over her body since she had awakened.Alana recited the words on the coin in her hand and hurled it toward an invisible barrier before them with all her streng
#Chapter135Revelations Part 2-02"Catalaya may be a demon but she has the heart of a human in addition to last of the divine powers of her father who was once known as the bringer of light"i gasp in shock my body trembling as I try to process the information I'd just been given, then something occurs to me that I think this goddess had over looked."it is true that Cat is powerful, way more than I anticipated however she can barely manage her powers now how is she suppose to withstand divine magic if she cannot handle the little power she can harness now""that is true which is where you come in Alana, who better to teach her to harness and control these powers than you who have studied both modern and ancient magic texts, your understanding and comprehension of magic far out ways that of your predecessors which is why I brought you here""Right now Catalaya is in terrible shape, Andreas has betrayed hell and sided with Aphrodite""What!!?!" I shout in surprise
#Chapter134Revelations Part 2-01ALANA'S POV I stare at the female before me as her energy was sucked again by the chains that bound her."You" I breathe "You are Lena the goddess of creation?"She nodded as though she was not suffering "I am"I stood up instinctively feeling the need to pace but not able due to the lack of gravity in this dimension. That was when I realized that there was an almost invisible magical circle around her preventing me from going any closer, it was warding me off."Why are you here?" I asked"I made a mistake" she said"A huge one which resulted in me being trapped and punished"I almost scoffed, "You made a mistake? Aren't you like the most obedient of all God's children in the silver city"She took a deep breath"Yes, sit down so I can tell you the answers to all your questions"As if her word was my command I sat down before her about ten feet away."How do you know my questions?""I have seen your heart Ala
#Chapter133Revelations-02Before I could figure out what it was Gabriel snapped at me to hurry up since they'd started walking and I wasn't following.I followed them into a room and that's where I met her the most sinister and evil woman that ever existed, Aphrodite.Everyone looked at me in surprise but I just continued with my explanation.As I entered the room they led me to I felt her aura, it was sickening. She was extremely beautiful but that is only to hide the evil bitch that she is.After Gabriel introduced me to her she immediately told me why I was brought there, they wanted me to betray Cat and when I refused she threw some kind of powder at me luckily I reacted quickly and it missed. She instructed Noah to restrain me and he and I began fighting although I am alot more powerful than he is due to my hybrid powers, he had the sword of light that I found out could completely kill me. I was injured and they tied me down with some kind of chain that felt l
