Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 67 - Kiema
"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
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 68 - Taryk
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
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 69 - Ransom
"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
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 70 - Asher
"Here's what I don't get," I said as I maneuvered the huge truck down the street to our lab and house. "What's that, Asher?" Kiema asked me. Damn was I glad I'd figured out what was bugging me about her. "Captain Silent said I needed to save her' in the future. Was he talking about you, Ki-Ki, or some other chick who's going to be overwhelmed by my awesomeness?""What else did he say?" "That my spirit was brave and light." I buffed my fingernails on my shirt. Kiema shrugged beside me in the front passenger seat. "I don't know, Ash. I think I'm pretty brave and light on my own. Maybe he saw someone else who would need those qualities from you in the future."I nodded, tapped my thumbs against the steering wheel. "True dat, Ki-Ki. You, baby doll, don't need any lighter or braver." I shuddered. Watching her walk up to Taryk like she didn't have a care in the world, made me want to yell, puke, and lock her up all at the same time. Kiema chuckled. "Thanks, boo." She w
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 71 - Atlas
I pulled my paws from the table as I shook out my fur. My nails left long furrows in the tabletop. Damn it. I was going to have to replace that."Atlas? You in there, buddy?" Asher called. My eyesight was so clear in this form I could count the individual strands that comprised his eyebrows. Immediately, I started formulating ideas on how I would be able to test the differences. What made the same set of eyes work differently in different forms? Would I be able to somehow apply the wolf's vision to my human form? I inhaled. "Damn, boys." I snorted. I needed to get that stench from my nose. "You stink." I chuffed. "You're the one who's a big dog at the moment, Atty. Not us," Asher smiled, crossed his arms. I snarled at him. The sound, and emotion behind it, startled me. I was a fucking wolf. If I could do happy dances without being seen or teased, I would have. But not with Asher in the room. The man could make a joke about the most serious of subjects. I wasn't going to e
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 72 - Saint
I looked over at Ransom. He was watching me, the corners of his eyes tight. I looked to Xander, back to Ransom. Ransom shook his head ever so slightly, bumped one shoulder into the air. Could I possibly share her with another of my brothers?I'd think not, Saint. She's our True Mate. Not some trollop to be passed back and forth like a common tankard of ale on some random evening.I rolled my eyes at Ten's language. He had some interesting sayings. All of you with your fucks' and asses,' that takes no brains to say. Merely verbal filler of an empty mind. At least when I speak, I have things of importance to say.Yeah, like telling Ransom about his magic. I'm still not happy about that part, Ten. I was going to do it.He snorted. Yes, but not with any amount of time for him to prepare himself. Forewarned is forearmed. Now he is aware of the situation, he will be able to guard his mind against the darkness. He can be on the lookout for the darkness, instead of being swe
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 73 - Kiema
Wherever I was, it felt like a freaking sweatbox. I kicked my feet free of the blankets. Ah, blessed coolness. At least for my legs. My upper body was still roasting in the heat. I pushed against the hard arm that kept me sweat sealed to the body behind me. The body behind me.I turned over, popped up on one elbow. A smile stretched my mouth until I felt like an idiot. Saint was here. He was with me. Touching me. Without pain. Without either of us being pulled to the spirit world. Honestly, I couldn't remember feeling this instant pull, this almost magical bond with Ransom that I do with Saint. A hint of sadness filled me. Am I such an awful person? The smile fell from my mouth as I contemplated my life. I know these guys shared women, but how did their women deal with being shared? Did they love each man equally? Wasn't that how this was supposed to go?"Keep looking at me, I'm going to assume you're fully awake," he mumbled. Saint's voice pulled me from my thoughts
Iron Serpent Chronicles Chapter 74 - Saint
My eyes were only for Kiema as Ransom shucked his boxers. I'd seen the man naked more times than I could count. Eh. Still not my cuppa.The long luscious lines of Kiema, though? Those I could get lost in for days. The honey of her skin beckoned me. Ransom sat up against my headboard, a hiss as the cold metal touched his back. He pulled my new favorite dessert into his arms. Their fingers intertwined, a measure to keep her from touching me before I was ready. He locked his legs over hers, a sort of bracer to keep her legs spread, her cunt open for me, whatever I chose to do with it. Her pupils dilated as Ransom got her locked down. She really did like this. With Ten's help, I could now identify the smell of our Mate. So much fuller bodied than simple berries and amber. I could smell the sharp spicy scent of lingonberry mixed with the honey I likened her skin tone to. The spice of the amber scent was there, but it was both mellower and brighter with this newfound olfactory

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
