Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 62 - Ransom
"How long have they been like this?" I snapped at Lukas. "At least twenty minutes. I thought he'd let go." He held his hands up in defense. "I put my hands back on both of them. Nothing was happening, so I took my hands off." He dusted them twice, raised them in the air. "Atlas. We've got a situation," I called down the mental line. "What's wrong, Ransom? We're brainstorming how to get Kiema's magic back." He sounded pissed as he pushed through the doors to the infirmary. "I came in after I saw Lukas acting weird. Turns out Saint touched her without Lukas nulling her magic.""Fuck." He rushed to the far side of the exam table. Pushing Lukas out of the way, he read the printout of the machine hooked up to Kiema. "Wait." I looked up. Atlas' brow was scrunched. "What's wrong?""Nothing. Absolutely nothing. She should be awake. All of her vitals are normal, her temperature. Her O2 count. Her skin and lips look full and plump." He reached out. "Wait." Lukas jumped forw

"What can we do to help, Atlas?" I asked. The fear that wanted to push through my skin was held back by the thinnest wall of willpower. I couldn't lose her, not without her unleashing my magic. "We need an open clear space that's sheltered. I was going to use our first floor, but if the Kolefnis are here, that's not going to work." Atlas pinched the bridge of his nose. "There's another empty warehouse about a block down. They have at least thirty-foot ceilings," Xander said. Atlas nodded. "Yes. Now. Lead the way, Xan."Xander pushed by me. He looked towards our building, waited a couple seconds, then began to move up the street to the north. "How'd you find this building, Xan?" I asked as I helped steer the exam table. The divots and seams in the concrete were playing hell with the casters."Just wandering around one night." I nodded. Xander's nocturnal activities didn't faze me anymore. He was an adult."Fuck this thing is loud. I hope Ransom can keep his paren

I could feel her near me. My mate. My heart. My soul. She was here in this physical realm. I turned from side to side. Where was she? I snarled at the man in front of me. His bright red hair a beacon for my ire. I spit a stream of fire in his direction. He launched himself to the side avoiding the spray. He wasn't holding her. He was no longer interesting to me. I turned to the right. A man with white hair stood before me. Something about him called to the inner parts of me. I didn't have time for this. I needed my mate. I spit fire at him as I turned again.There she was. My heart lifted inside my chest. She was bracketed by two men. Two men who were trying to keep her from me. I dropped down to all four feet. They would cease to exist after I saved my mate. They dared to stop us. Dared to come between us. I've been waiting millennia for her, and they thought to keep us apart. Silly humans. I stalked forward two steps. Stretching the smallest bit, I lowered my head at

"Hey, honey," I said. "Saint? Is it really you?" She laughed, the sound a little shaky. "Of course, it's you. You have your eyes again. Are you okay?" She reached out, laid a hand on my snout. "I'm okay. I don't know about Ten, but he and I will work that part out together.""If he can heal her magic, we will need both of you," Atlas said. He looked a little pale under his laboratory tan. "We can talk about it later. Where're Ransom and Asher?""Talking with Claude and Charlotte," Taryk answered. I nodded. Well, I tried. My head was resting on the ground. "I see." I turned to Lukas. "So, I'm guessing you took your hands off her at some point, yes? After I got sucked in?"The man looked like he was trying not to cry. He nodded. "Well, when I'm back in my human form, remind me to punch you the fuck out," I said calmly. I took another breath. This time my voice was hard. "Ten and I hurt her on the spirit plane, you fucking asshole. Hurt her," I growled the last two

I wrapped my arms around Kiema. For the first time in almost two weeks I felt my insides unclench. Even my animals were calm. She was safe in my arms. One problem down, one huge ass dragon to go. "Are you going to change back?" I asked Saint. He shook his mammoth head. "I'm not sure how to do that. And Ten is being a bit of bitch. He says that until you unhand his Mate, he's not helping us do anything."A low snarl rose up my throat. Kiema rubbed her hand over my abs. "It's fine, Ransom. Think of Tenny as a foreign exchange student. He's ancient and from Earth. He's not really up on today's norms. Especially this group's." She chuckled the last bit, a twinkle in her eyes as she looked up at me. "How does Earth have dragons?"Saint launched into the history of Ten. The long, boring history. Just as my eyes were glazing over, Saint's eyes went from their familiar brown to an eerie yellow golden green with vertical slits. "Human, if you do not give me and Saint th

"I think we're going to have a problem," Taryk said from the front seat of the massive black vehicle that looked like it could withstand a bombing. "What's wrong?" I pushed up between the two front seats. I could see the problem for myself. "Oh. That's what's wrong." The manned gate was deserted. Not only that, it was flattened as if run over by a steamroller. Taryk gunned our truck. The debris of the gate no match for its size and durability. We screeched to a stop at the front door. It was hanging from its top hinge. "Shit. What if we're too late?" I asked as everyone began piling out of the vehicle. "Don't borrow trouble. Let's go in and see what we find." Taryk pushed open the front door, a sleek black gun in his hands. He pushed the door so hard it slammed against the wall on the inside. He stopped its return path with his foot. "Lukas, you're next. Then Ransom. Kiema. Asher, Xander, you bring up the rear.""Too bad the dragon couldn't have come along," Lukas said

Xander pushed her into my arms. Our bare arms sliding against each other. The expression on her face before she buried it in my chest was one of awe and peaceful contentment. I'd never experienced anything that could put that kind of look on my face before. "Xander, what the fuck were you thinking?" Ransom looked ready to tear Kiema from my arms. Asher held him back. "You can't pull her out now. We don't know what could happen to her." I would have laughed at the reversal of roles if I didn't feel Kiema poking around inside me. I winced as she hit something that felt pretty fucking vital. "Is it supposed to hurt?" I asked, trying to keep my voice even. Xander still looked like he was riding the best high of his life. I'm pretty sure the building could've exploded around us and he would have that dopey look on his face still. Deep inside me, I felt the tug of happiness for him. In college, I'd stayed up with him countless nights as he slid under the influence of whatever

"Fuck." I leapt forward, catching Kiema as she was forcefully thrown from the magical outburst of Taryk changing. "Well, fine, you douche. I didn't want to be in there anyway. Asshole," she muttered as she dusted off her hands. The huge black panther splayed on the floor didn't really bring to mind the idea of insults or taunting. Rather, it made me want to run into a room with a steel door that had a fantastic lock and call animal control. "You okay, angel?" I asked, not taking my eyes off of Taryk in his new form."Yes." Kiema sounded irritated, but not in a sexy kind of way. I was afraid for Taryk when he turned back into a human. My angel sounded like she wanted her pound of flesh. "That twat waffle was fighting me the whole fucking time." She leaned forward, out of the ring of my arms. "Hear that, Taryk the Twat Waffle. See if I ever help you again." She lifted her nose into the air and went to sit by the still blissed-out Xander and the howling Asher. "Twat waffl

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
