Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 198 - Kiema
I wiped at the tears that streamed down my face. Swimming, indeed. "Goddess Kiema, greetings from Faery," Queen Arasne said as she came to a smooth stop in front of me. She was dressed in battle gear from head to toe. Braids pulled her hair up and away from her face to have it fall in a long line down her back. Under the bright lights, I could see what looked like silver threaded through the strands. Interesting."Greetings, Queen Arasne. Welcome to Azica." I bowed to her. She returned the gesture. "If you could point us to our lodgings, we will begin training with you. Many of our younger recruits are quite anxious to begin." She rolled her eyes. "Youth...always rushing headlong into danger."I smiled. "I think that's a trait of most men as well."Arasne snorted softly. "Indeed. I put the call out to my people. We've had record breaking enrollment for recruits. Graysten is quite beside himself on how to train so many in so short a time.""Well, I'm the only one

"We don't have a lot of time. Where's Kord?" I asked as we sprinted up the stairs. The closer we'd gotten to home, the more my body reacted. I was hard as steel and primed to pound inside this woman we got to call ours. "I called him. He's in the lab's kitchen working on his powders and spells," Kiema said in between puffs of air against my back. "Shit. Tell him to hurry," I said as I pushed through the door on the fifth level. Home."He's on his way over. According to him, he's faster than a MagLev train. I have no idea what that is, but it sounds fa - ""Fast. Very fast," Kord said as he joined us. He threw Ransom's shirt on the floor. "Someone dropped that in the stairwell."I slid Kiema off my shoulder, her soft naked body giving way to the harder, firmer lines of my own. I closed my eyes so I could concentrate. "What's the emergency? And why're you two naked?" Kord asked."Kiema just changed into a dragon. A kind that doesn't let her fly, but a dragon, nonetheless
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 200 - Kiema
A distant bell rang somewhere in the building, stopping whatever it was I was going to say. I looked around the room. "What was that?"Saint's brow furrowed. "The building doorbell for lack of a better term. It goes off if the door doesn't open within a certain amount of time after being rung the first time." He looked down at his nakedness. Looked back up at me. One eyebrow raised. "Little help, please?"I smiled and dressed him with a thought. I gave Ransom a shirt as well since he'd sacrificed his own to cover my ass on the frantic run to the warehouse. We all left the fifth level and went to the elevator. Ransom pulled his phone from his pocket. After he tapped a couple buttons, he lifted the phone up and out from his body. "Hello. We're coming down. Who are you?" he asked. I shifted to look into the screen. A small group of men were waiting near the front business entrance door. The man in the front of the group jumped when Ransom's voice filtered out. He looked
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 201 - Mason
"Que diable se passe-t-il?" I said. A husky familiar laugh had me spinning around. "Kona? What are you doing here?""You know, I can actually understand your other language in here? How weird is that? And to answer you: what the hell is going on? I'm apparently here to heal you. This is what has happened every time I went to touch someone before I ascended. I would get sucked into their spirit landscape to heal them."She spun around like she was taking in the view. I'm not quite sure what she saw, but I saw my old Resting ground at the cemetery. Sebastian's wife's grave was the only one there. Marie Consuela Moreau, beloved wife, from now until eternity.Just like they always had, the words ripped at my insides. The old hurt a numb and perennial friend. Sebastian had never lied to me, had never led me astray. But he also had not returned my love. His heart had been given in full to his human wife. A statue of stone could not rival that, not even with the gift of the

I landed back in my body with a slight jolt. Nothing like trying to shove myself back into my body after a healing before I ascended. Saint, Ransom, and Kord were all there to catch me if I needed it. "That was unexpected," Kord said.I nodded. "I'm guessing since I actually ascended into a Prime, I could breach his walls."They all nodded. "Good. Let's get the rest of the group set up with the mental links. Then we need to question the last guy," Ransom said.I nodded. "Let's do it."**"You can speak up or keep your mouth shut. Either way, I'll be getting the knowledge one way or another," I said to Brownie Two. He sat there with his unemotional face. His dark eyes looked straight through me. I wondered if anyone was even home. "Does anyone know if someone is capable of building robots that look like humans?" I asked aloud. Taryk made a low noise. "Not anything like this that I've seen.""The field of technology isn't this far along yet, honey," Saint said.

"Then find her trail, Junior," I leaned down and snarled into Xander's tiger's face. "Don't yell at him, Saint. He can't help. She pushed him out of there, remember?" Xander said as he ran his hand through his tiger's fur."Do you feel that, mes amis?" Mason interrupted. He put a finger to his lips as if silence could help us feel something better.We all shut up. We had no other firm direction to follow. Mason's head tipped to the side. Shook his head. Squeezed his eyes tightly shut. "Join hands. Our Kona is calling," he shouted as he reached for the person nearest him. We all linked hands. I, for one, prayed. Like I've never prayed before. Eternity passed with no answer. No glimmer of hope. Hellion popped into the lobby, arms full of a bloodied and broken Kiema. "She's been attacked on the spirit plane. Give her your magic or she will die," he said right before he vanished again. Nononononononononono, it spun on a loop inside my head. Ransom had to p

I strode forward. I didn't know how I knew this guy, but as soon as I saw him, I recognized his face. Tall enough to make Mason seem short, he towered over me. "What are you doing here?" he asked me. "Why did you send out a call?""Okay, first up, I recognize your face, but that's about it. Why don't you tell me who you are and we'll go from there, m'kay?" I nodded, and kept nodding, until he joined me in the motion. With a grunt, he shook his head. "This is not funny, Kiema. You know exactly who you are. Why you're here. This was your mission. You chose it. What the hell is going on?" He looked over my shoulder. I turned to look with him. My family. The loves of my life and mates of my soul all stood there staring. I felt emotion crawl up my throat. Looking back at the giant, I said, "I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. But I'll leave that for you to explain later. Can you tell me why I have a goddess rune?" I asked. Giant shook his head, looked at me l

"As much as I love that idea, Ki-Ki, I would like to give you a hug." Asher walked over, picked me up in his arms, squeezed me tight. Setting me back on my feet, he stepped back. "And get some fucking sleep. Between training today and getting magic sucked out of my body, I'm pooped. I don't even want to think about how Xan and Cherrypie are feeling." He shook his head. I stopped him as he tried to move past me. "Why would Xander and Scarlet be feeling any crappier than usual?" I turned back to the two in question. Xander did look like he'd been on a bender for at least a week. His dark brown eyes were sunken. The bags under his eyes looked like he was hosting a sleepover in them. The laugh lines around his mouth made him look haggard instead of happy. Scarlet was faring a little better, but I could still see that she'd been zapped by what happened. Her white hair, usually so shiny and white, looked more dull and gray than anything else. Her bottle green eyes were muddy and tir

Three months later"And I'm telling you right now, dad, that if you want to ever see these babies, you'll stop sending my mates to the Underworld for a cooling off' period. That shit is getting old," I said as I waddled into the hospital built for gods and demi-gods. He chuckled beside me. "But, bubbles, they deserved it. Crowing like they built Olympus bare handed. They were getting on your Circle's nerves. I could tell." He said as he lifted me into the bed. "Bring them back, dad. Now." I glared at him. Even though, on the inside, I was smiling like a loon. This was the type of relationship I'd always dreamed of having with a father. He sighed, a smirk still pulling at his mouth. With a snap, my three mates stumbled into the room."Damn it, Apollo," Saint said as he flicked his shirt. "Cerberus almost got me that time."My dad's head tipped back as he laughed and laughed. The babies inside me loved that sound. They kicked at my belly. I rubbed at the spot. "Easy

Six months later"Last time, I'll ask. I swear." Kiema swallowed heavily as she moved around behind me. "You promise you're okay not getting your deer back?" Kiema asked me as flicked the fabric of my dress this way and that to get it to lay perfectly.I waited until she looked up at me. That look of slight hesitation on her face tugged at my heart. "I promise. I was never meant to be a deer. A shifter of any kind."She nodded, sniffled quietly. "You ready for the rest of this then?" Kiema asked me as she adjusted the crown of flowers in my hair. "So much more than ready. I've been waiting for this my entire life." I bit back the tears that wanted to flood my throat. Not today. I wouldn't ruin this day with tears.She smiled as she stepped back. "You look beautiful, little sister." Tears gathered in her eyes. I held up a hand, looked at the ceiling. "Don't do that. I told you I wasn't crying today. You start crying, then I'll start crying. Then we'll have to postpone e

The next night"Wake up, Saint," I said softly in our shared consciousness. I could barely contain myself. I had felt the swell of magic. Had felt it when it took root."Saint," I said again. The man slept like a rock at the bottom of a spring. "Mgmgs," he mumbled.Forcing our arm to move, I slapped our face. He shot up, his teeth bared. "Who's there?" he called out. "It's me, you buffoon," I said.Our head cocked to the side. "Ten? Why are you waking me up? Can't whatever it is wait until morning?" He snuggled back down into the comfortable bed in our new home. "No." I shook our head so he would fully wake up. "Wake up!"He sat up, pulling the blankets with him. "I'm awake. What can't wait until the morning, Ten?""Kiema is pregnant.""WHAT THE FUCK!?"I snickered as everyone in the room burst from the bed, fists and knives raised in defense. "What is it?" Ransom's head turned back and forth quickly, visually sweeping the room. With a grunt at its emp

Two weeks later"Are we finally going to try this? We've been prepping for what feels like forever." I licked my way up Saint's neck. He shivered as his fingers curled into the flesh of my ass. "Maybe we should wait one more day. I don't want to hurt you."I rolled my eyes under the cover of my closed lids. This man. So dominant. So caring. So sure I wasn't ready to take one of them in my ass. I guess I'll just have to show him that I was more than ready.I slid down his body. A wave of magic and all of us were naked as the day we were born. As I sucked his cock into my mouth, Kord came up behind me.Curling around my back, he pinched my nipples with one hand. With his other, he slid a hand down my belly and straight over my clit. With a sharp movement, his fingers were deep inside me. I groaned around Saint's dick as waves of pleasure washed over me. Sprinkled with the counterpoints of pain from Kord getting my nipples ready for the clover clamps. I felt my core cream at

The next day"Torture and then straight back to bed. I don't care that your father is the god of healing. This is ridiculous, Kiema," Atlas said as we stood in the elevator on our way to the basement level."Don't get trapped in the dungeons," Apollo had said as he laid his palm against the electronic plate on the wall of the elevator.Right. Dungeons in a god hospital. Gods were freaking weird.I patted his cheek. "I've got my main medical provider right next to me. I'll be fine. Besides I feel like a million bucks."He huffed a laugh as Mason and Lukas came up beside him. I wiggled my eyebrows at Atlas, looked over his shoulder, back to his face.He chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Yes, little sister. We've decided to try being a thruple."I wrinkled my nose. "What kind of word is thruple?""A three-person couple, luv," Lukas answered. I snorted. "And you guys won't let me make up words? That's a heaping load of Berserker shit right there."We were all laughi
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 216 - Ransom
I pushed the other two through the doors. I wasn't waiting another minute to see my girl. I'd felt her die. Felt my spirit try to follow her down that long tunnel. My heart had stopped beating when I saw Heppni literally rip her heart from her chest and crush it. But here we were. Alive. Healing. She was pale against the bright white sheets of the hospital bed. Although it was unlike any hospital I'd ever been in. Apollo said something about it being a place for gods and goddesses. I shook my head. It didn't matter to me what it was as long as it made her better. She looked over as we rushed in. Her eyes searched each one of us before returning to me. Tears flooded her eyes as I pulled her into my arms. We all sat on the bed, curled and huddled together while she got it all out. The guys and I had had some truly brutal boxing matches to deal with our own emotions. I was still achy and sore from a couple of well-placed hits from Kord. The man might be a nerdy librarian, b

My chest hurt. I tried to rub it, but my arms were restrained. "Easy there, bubbles. You'll pull your stitches if you do that," a man said. His voice was soft and melodious. Like listening to angels sing. Angels. Something about that word tickled my brain.Angel. Almost. Almost.Ransom. As soon as I thought his name, his face popped into my brain. I tried to sit up. Made it a couple inches before I was pushed back to the bed beneath me. I opened my eyes. Ignoring the stabbing pain that slid into my eyeballs, I blinked to clear my vision. A bright white room greeted me. The only color in it was the man who had a hand against my chest. I looked down at his hand. Looked up at his face. Raised an eyebrow. "Get the fuck off, perv. My mates will rip you to shreds."He huffed a laugh and removed his hand. "I doubt your mates will be doing much more than breathing for a couple more hours, but I'm glad to see that you're back, bubbles. Have a nice nap?" I leaned ba
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 214 - Oliver
Everyone Hellion had made me vow to keep alive fell to the ground as if they were puppets and their strings had been cut. Fuck, fuck, fuck. I hurried to the closest one's side. Pushed two fingers to his neck. Gone. I was so fucking dead. I blasted an oncoming human with a burst of magic. He withered where he stood. I sank to my knees next to the small woman with bright white hair. She was gone as well. The woman with the long brown hair threw her blade into an approaching Direct. It sliced through him like he was air. With wild eyes, she didn't even try to gather the particles of his passing. She pushed me aside as she cradled the smaller woman to her chest. "No no no not my baby no no no please no no," she wailed. Her agonized scream was muffled against the smaller woman's head.The rest of the humans who had interrupted our plans were either dead or falling back the way they'd come. Movement drew my eye. I squinted as I tracked it across the street. It wa
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 213 - Kiema
I sent another stream of fiery magic at the Direct who thought to protect my mother. Some pansy-assed gifted asshole wasn't going to stop me from hunting my mother down and killing her. With a wave of my hand, a path cleared. With a curl of my fist, humans fell to the ground, their spines crumbled into dust. "I'm coming for you, Herpes," I screamed at the top of my lungs. She scurried away, down the side street towards the fighting arena I'd created for us to use for practice. I picked up my pace and followed her. "You better be fucking careful, honey," Saint said through my head. He was working with Arasne and Felix at the opening of the street where the humans were still grouped. The Faeries had set up a blockade of sorts, forcing the humans into a bottleneck situation. They were taken down one by one as Ransom had his horde of beasts funneled them through the line of magical warriors. "Always, Saint baby. See you in a bit." I rushed down the street Herpes had
