Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 34 - Ransom
Her scent filled my nose. Berries and amber. It was so thick it coated my tongue. Her scent was almost as delicious as her taste. Shouting from the computer warned her away from me. Must have managed the change. I felt like day-old ass, so I probably had shifted. Opening my eyes, I came face to face with the woman who'd stolen my heart. I could see tiny flecks of blue in her pale gray eyes. Something I'd never noticed as a human. I nuzzled my nose into the space between her neck and shoulder. I could fucking live drenched in this woman. Her small hands ran through my fur. I just hoped to Gaia that I wasn't that awful collection of animals like the first time. I'd been focusing on the lion alone.Pulling back from Kiema's neck, I looked down at my paws. Weird, how easy I was with being part animal. Like finding comfort and belonging I'd been missing my entire life. I hadn't even known to wish for something like this. Hadn't known it was possible. "Ransom, you're hurting Ki

"Kiema, honey, I need you to check his vitals," Saint said. I nodded before crawling over to the fully naked man. His dark blond hair covered his face. "His coat is the same color as his head hair. His mane the color of his pubic hair.""I'll make a note of it. Can you give me his pulse?""I don't have a watch, and can't see a clock.""I'll run a timer. Ready?"I nodded."55 beats per minute. Is that good?""That's fucking amazing, Ki-Ki. Before, he was running around ninety, ninety-five at rest," Asher rushed to answer. "Is he running a temp?"I laid the inside of my wrist against his forehead. "Maybe a little one. He feels slightly warm to the touch. But dry, there's no sweat or dampness.""Good, honey. You're doing great. Open his eyes for me. Do his pupils look normal?"I checked. "They seem a little bigger than normal, but I wouldn't say they look abnormal. Does that make sense?""Sure does. He was saying his vision and smell were off the charts. It would

Gaia, my body hurt. I felt like I'd been run over by a fucking semi. I stretched and became aware of the warm body cradled next to my own. My cock shot to full alert as she wiggled her ass back against me, a low irritated moan rumbling through her chest. Running my hands over her hot little body, I wished I had the strength to do more than just feel her. "Mm."I felt the moment she woke. Her body stilled as if assessing her surroundings. Once she realized where she was, she sank into my body like she'd melted. This time when her ass pushed against my cock, she reached back and grabbed my ass, pulling me tighter into her body. I groaned. "Ki.""Let me take care of you." She rolled over in my arms. Pushing the blanket and towels off my body, she gently rolled me to my back. I felt like my body was about to explode, in both good and bad ways. Drawing in a shaky breath, it caught in my chest when she rose above me like a goddess. Her honey skin dark gold in the morning ligh

"Thank Gaia your ankle healed while we were sleeping," Ransom said as he slid breakfast over the island to me. "By the way, I've got something I need to tell you before we hook back up with the guys.""Okay." I smiled at him in thanks. Breakfasts had never been an important part of my day. But since spending time with Ransom, I could begin to crave them. Or maybe it was just the man who cooked for me in nothing more than a sheet and a smile. He braced himself on his hands as he leaned over the countertop. "The camera was still on this morning.""Okay?" It took me a minute, then all the blood drained from my face. "Were they there? Were they watching? Shit, shit, shit. I'm such an idiot. I didn't even think. They we - ""No," he barked at me. He reached across the island, grabbed my hands. "No one was there. Saint came in at the very end. He's the one who told me about it. He's already locked that section of recording away. It's your decision on whether you want to keep it or n

She was thinking about it. Seriously considering it. I should be overjoyed, but part of me wanted to wrap her up and keep her all to myself. She still might be just mine. She might not be able to touch the others. I blew out a breath. It doesn't matter. Not yet anyway. We had to keep her safe. From her parents, from whoever contacted her. From fucking OTIS. Wrapping her up and stealing her away was sounding better and better."Taryk and Atlas sent some pictures a couple nights ago," Saint said. "They're still in negotiations with the museum about the book. The parts they sent over, those are illuminated leaves from the late 1100s to early 1200s. Three pictures from the bestiary section and seven pages from the scientific section. I'll send the pages over so you can look at them." He hit a couple of buttons on his computer. Within moments, the files popped up on our screen. "Got em.""According to Taryk and Atlas, The Lost Ones is one of the earliest books ever discovered. Th

"I'll start digging into the Apollo, Inc. files. According to their homepage, they've been in business since the mid-1960s," Xander said and left the screen again."I think we should work under the assumption that OTIS reached out to Kiema," Saint said. "It seems to fit the most pieces of the puzzle with the least effort."I nodded as Ransom agreed from behind me."We're going to need the specifics of the plan they hashed out with you, Kiema," Ransom said. Saint and Asher nodded. "We should wait for Taryk for that though. He's our security chief," Saint added for my benefit."Got it. That's fine with me. My brain is really full right now. I might go lay down, if that's okay with all of you." I looked at the two men on the screen, got their nods. Ransom squeezed my shoulders. "Of course, angel. Go take a break. I'll come get you if something new comes up."I tilted my head, kissed his fingers. "Thank you so much, guys. Ransom's lucky to have such wonderful people in h

The erection that had been pushing against Kiema's hip lost a little steam. For a number of reasons. Not the least of which was the idea that she wanted to take on her parents, and maybe even OTIS. From the set of her chin, she'd do it without anyone's help, too. "Angel, that's going to be quite the project," I said. "I know," she nodded. "But I figure with all of your help, I'll be able to help them. I can't let my parents be part of treating anyone the way they've treated me, Ransom. I just can't. That's working under the most positive assumption they're being treated even that well." She looked up at me, her pale gray eyes stark and fierce. I wanted to throw her on the counter and bury myself inside her. Right here. Right now. No matter the witnesses. For all her hesitation, she might not mind the witnesses either. "We can add her parents to the work we're already doing, Ransom," Asher said. Kiema flipped around to look at the screen. Asher shot her a wink. I fe

A heavy pounding filtered through the weight of sleep. I batted at the sound, snarled, before pushing my head under the pillow. Go away.More pounding. "Ms. Feuer! This is Dallas with the front gate. Ms. Feuer!" I threw my pillow across the room. Got to my hands and knees. "You have unauthorized visitors. Ms. Feuer!""Shit, shit, shit." I bounded from the bed, awake enough to grab a discarded sheet from the floor on my dash to the front door. "Ki?" Ransom yelled from his shower."The guys are here," I yelled back. I slid the last foot to the door, the sheet caught under my feet. Slamming into the solid wooden door, I had to take a minute to steady myself. "Wait!" Ransom yelled. I wasn't going to leave them out there. I checked through the peephole to make sure it was the front gate guard first. I wasn't stupid.The guard rolled his eyes, muttered something under his breath, and raised a fist into the air. I pulled the door open before the guard could

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

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
