Love Amongst The Shadows Ch. 103
Fu.ck this day. Fu.ck this day right up the ass. Stupid barbaric ceremony. I woke up pissed despite the absolute bliss I felt the night before. A lot hinges on the outcome of today and I hate it. I hate it so damn much. I just want to fight myself. If only they'd let me in that ring with those men. Let them fight me, let them try and take me. I'd beat them all. Fu.ck them! Fu.ck having to get up early for this bullshi.t too. It's still dark outside, why the hell do I have to be up right now? "Here. Eat this, it should help give you some energy. I should have had you go to bed sooner. I am sorry I got carried away last night." Kiran smiled half heartedly, because today weighed heavy on him too. He wants to help, he wants to fight, he wants to keep me safe, but he can't and it kills him. "Thank you. I'm not complaining about last night either. It was amazing Kiran and I loved every second of it. Including the two more times you made me orgasm on your bed. I needed that to get me thro

Percy's P.O.V.I woke up to an incessant knocking at my door. I opened it ready to punch the person that decided to wake me up this early, only to find Kiran's irritated self. My rage only magnified as the fog of sleep fully lifted, reminding me what today is. I need to be looking into Zerena's future and Sebastian's today. Kiran let me know she had already left for the ceremony and he rushed over in a car that he'd borrowed last night. Apparently I'll have a buddy all day that I could do without. His questions and concerns are only going to make things harder for me. I understand his need to know what's happening, so I won't kick him out. "What's happening now?" He asked me again. It's like he needs a minute by minute play. I had already told him about her little message and how it set her future to where Isaac no longer lets her speak in front of crowds. Kiran and I were both proud of her little stunt though. "Seems the trials have started. Sebastian beat it in 30 seconds. This

Zerena's P.O.V.What fu.ckery is this? One minute the fight was starting and the next shadows were flying so fast you couldn't even see what was really happening. Sebastian wasn't kidding when he said he was a good fighter, but fu.ck if Christopher wasn't some sort of demigod warrior. He ripped Sebastian's arm off so fast that you couldn't be sure what the fu.ck had happened. Sebastian casted an illusion, which I knew to be my father's shadow's ability. Christopher didn't fall for it and attacked the correct Sebastian. He was ruthless, giving Sebastian no time to compose himself before attacking again. Sebastian's defenses were good, and Christopher couldn't get past them. Sebastian sliced at Christopher a few times and normally that would stop any other shadow weaver but Christopher used his shadow's ability to sew himself back together essentially healing himself. He had a shadow with a fu.cking amazing ability and I felt so bad for Sebastian. I almost wanted to tell him to quit,

Thank you God! Nick's fluke of good luck finally stopped as Axel beat his ass, reminding him just how weak he really was. Of course Christopher won, but Darius put up a good fight. I wonder who he guards, because they should feel really safe with him around. Can I poach a guardian? Cause I would totally have that guy on my team. Knowing that I'll be bound to either Axel or Christopher is killing me. The reality of this shi.t is really starting to settle in now. My stomach is in knots and my nausea is through the roof. I've decided that if I need to puke, I'd be sure to do it on Isaac. Fu.ck him. There was a small break before the final round. The sun was low in the sky and I was ready for this whole thing to just be done already. I honestly could have spent my day better. I could have trained, or sparred. I could have worked on controlling the darkness. I could have spent time with Kiran. So many things I could have been doing rather than sitting here, watching my fate be decided fo

"I wasn't expecting you to fight dirty." Christopher's voice came from behind me outside of the coliseum."I wasn't expecting to be kissed by a stranger." I snapped at him, still feeling his bite on my lower lip. "That's the way to seal the bond, wife." He said the word mockingly. "You're going to make me throw up." I pretended to gag and he let out a chuckle. "You're not what I expected." He mused. "I never am. You're not exactly who I expected to win either. So I guess we're even on that front." I looked out to try and see if I could find Sebastian in the crowd. Maybe I could have him travel me to Kiran. I am sure someone would come get us to come back tomorrow anyway. The crowd from the stands were starting to come out, making it harder to find anyone. Everyone was congratulating us and it just angered me more. "Fu.ck off." I snapped at a guy who told me I was a disgrace to shadow weavers. "Let's go." Christopher came up from behind me, laying his hand on my shoulder before t

We arrived and I could see the pack house in the distance. There were a lot of people around and I wasn't sure I really wanted to deal with them all, but I knew I really wanted to see Kellan, Percy, Emerson and Tally. I'll wad through a crowd and bear the attention for them, but only for them. "Hey, Zae. Welcome back." Percy's voice snatched my attention from the pack house. I turned to find him, Kiran, Emerson, Tally, Everett, Tate and Electra standing amongst the trees. They were all grinning widely and I matched their smile happily. "I figured you'd prefer this, over that." He pointed to the group and then to the pack house. "You figured right." I smiled at him before turning to Kiran and running towards him, wrapping my arms around him in a tight embrace. His muscles seem to have grown again as they caged around me with such strength. "I missed you." I whispered. "I missed you too." He kissed my lips tenderly, licking at the bite that Christopher made like he could wipe it away

Kellan's P.O.V. My father had shown me so much of the city. There were so many places and things I never thought possible down here. I met the rest of our family, king and queen included. I'd even met a beautiful girl that for once didn't make me think of Zerena. My father has been training me to use my siren abilities better. He's taught me how to hone my magic with pearls too. I was good with mind manipulation, but my father taught me how to detect when someone is in my own head. He even taught me how to push deep inside someone's head to find information or memories.Today he taught me how to bury someone's memory so they would forget whatever we wanted them to. There was so much we could do that I had no idea about. It was crazy exactly how much Alester had robbed me of. I should have grown up here. I should have been the best siren around. I would have been talented and rich and spoiled as fu.ck, probably just as insufferable as now, but with a better life. "Kellan, would you

Zerena's P.O.V."What can I tell you? It's your house. I didn't make it." Christopher shrugged at my discontent at the sheet size of this supposive mansion. You might as well call this thing a small castle. Christopher came and got Kiran and I way before we were ready. We'd stayed up so late having fun that we never really packed. Christopher told us not to bother as his patience was thin and this place is supposedly stocked with clothes already. It was a light yellow color with stone walls and wooden shutters. It has a dark, almost black, wooden double doors with gold handles. When you first enter you're greater by a large entryway with a massive coat closet and shoe rack. Apparently this is called a mudroom…rich people. Anyway, past that was the living room, that felt more like a large as.s party room. From the living room you could take one of four paths. One lead to a massive kitchen that Kiran practically wet his pants for. The second path lead to a large game room with a pool

I traveled to the spot in the yard, not believing my eyes from that distance. I approached the figure in the moonlight cautiously. He turned when he heard me step on a twig. That long black hair and dark eyes met mine. He smiled widely at me, swooning my heart the way he use to. “Percy?” I cried. “Hey, Zae.” “You as.shole.” I went to punch him but my hand went right through him. He laughed at me. “I figured you’d try to hit me. Sorry I don’t have a body anymore to hit.” He shook his head at me. “I’m sorry, Zae.” “You should be. You have no idea how much this has hurt. Damit Perc, you should have told me. I would have stopped it!” I yelled at him, tears flowing out of me like a waterfall. “You couldn’t have. Trust me, I didn’t want to leave our Ares, but it was the only way.” He sighed. His transparent hand reached for my face. I could feel him the same way I feel the air across my cheek. “Our Ares could really use a visit from you.” I told him. “I only have one more of

8 years later“Happy birthday Ares!” We all yelled, trying to surprise him, but who were we kidding he already knew.“I knew you wouldn’t forget.” He smiled at us all. “Auggie said everyone had forgotten about my birthday and that’s why no one had said it to me yet.”“Augustus Daimen Barlowe! Did you really tell your brother that?” Kiran scolded him.“I thought if he believed it he would actually be surprised.” Augustus explained.“I’ll talk to him, keep the party going.” Kiran told me, kissing my temple, before pointing to the door to let Augusutus know to walk out.I hugged Ares, holding him tightly for a long moment before he complained.“Mom.”“Sorry

Topher had already finished here. He was wrapping the elders up. We don’t plan on killing them or imprisoning them. They just won’t be in power anymore. I know they won’t like it, but with only a few elders they won’t be able to go against a whole army. We’ll be changing a lot around here, starting with the parties and classist shi.t. Obviously the higher class will hate it, but since they are few, I’m not worried about it. “Everything go well in the North?” Topher asked me, wrapping his arm around my waist and kissing my temple. “Easy as pie.” I assured him. “Yeah, especially after she went all devil on us.” Isaiah smirked. “You did?” Topher asked, obviously not liking the fact. He didn’t like me using that side of myself much. “Yes, just for a little while. I’m fine, don’t worry.” I assured him. He looked at me for a while, assessing me, before nodding his head. He kissed my forehead now, letting his lips linger there. He let his arm wrap around me further, until his hand

2 months later.“It’s gotta be simultaneous.” I told them all, through a mass shadow message. I stared down the elder’s building with group 1 at my side. I decided to take down the north elders, while Topher led the west rebellion group. We had a good amount of people with us in each colony.Our civil war begins. Only it won’t be a war, it’ll be one battle, and we will come out victorious.‘We’re ready in the south.’ Felix, the leader of the south, responded with his own shadow message.‘Say the word and we’ll attack.’ Helena from the East sounded ready to b

It’s been a month now since the battle with Alester. Percy’s funeral hit me hard, breaking me further. I almost couldn’t bring myself to go. Kiran and Topher dragged my as.s there, not giving me a choice in the matter. I saw Allie, her beautiful innocent eyes were puffy from all the crying. She admitted to me that she knew what was going to happen. She told me Percy had asked her not to tell anyone, and that he had set things up for Ares. Apparently Electra had been helping him see into the future. She admitted that she would be joining him soon too. It was almost poetic…almost. It’s so damn heart breaking. I am not sure there is a heart left in me. It feels so hollow in my chest, like it’s run away, unable to take the pain anymore. The only times I felt a remnant of it, were when I was with August or Ares, or when I’d look at Jesse’s ultrasound. She’s not shadow kissed like Augustus. She’s like Ares, in my normal womb. Topher and Kiran did their best at trying to cheer me up, or a

Zerena’s P.O.V.No! God No!Percy’s lifeless body laid at Alester’s feet, his eyes open, staring at Ares. I kept waiting to see him heal. Kept waiting to see him move, to get back up and pummel Alester before him. I watched him for a while, completely dumbfounded. This isn’t real, this isn’t happening. I haven’t lost Kiran and Percy just now. Kiran will come back with his Phoenix, and Percy will heal. They have to. They can’t leave me.A thick sadness was beginning to envelope me. I felt the cold seeping into my bones, as the darkness began to over take me, feeding on my depression. I felt it turning all the heartache in me into an unbridled rage. I looked at Alester now, who had Percy’s heart still in his hand, burning it to Ash befo

Percy's P.O.V. Zae had made her announcement to everyone. I thought it was sweet of her to go along with Topher's plan to have an announcement party. This is how it should have gone. A baby with only the person she chose and not because some crazy bastard gave her a sea witch's potion. I watched as everyone congratulated her. She actually accepted the hugs. God, I hope she continues to open up after I'm gone. I wrote her a letter too. I put it where I knew she'd find it after my funeral. I hope she takes the advice I wrote for her. Everyone was having fun. I watched as Zae's people all intermingled. It was like watching the many parts of Zea's life come together beautifully. Eventually, the party had started to whine down. The first to leave was group 1, followed by Zea's parents, and then Tate and Alara with her twin, Alexis, plus Maple left. Kellan had decided to stay a while longer to talk to Dex about water portalling. Rain and her mate, Nate, left as well. The only ones he

Zerena’s P.O.V.“How does this look?” Kiran asked, when he finished the icing on the cake.“Looks great!” I smiled at him, kissing his cheek. “Thank you, Kiran.”I was actually excited for today. I never thought I would be a big announcement kind of gal, but I think that I am. I really like the idea of surprising everyone today. Topher and I have been over the moon about our baby girl. I can’t wait to share the news with everyone. I am so very lucky to have Percy. I don’t think I would have noticed I was pregnant for at least another month. I am also so grateful that he has saved me time with naming all these children. Already knowing their names and their genders has been very convenient.

Percy’s P.O.V.Dearest Ares,I know you’re going through a hard time right now. It’s hard to be in love with someone who doesn’t feel the same way as you. I felt this way about your mother for the longest time. I know it is difficult, especially to watch them be happy with someone else. I promise you, it will get better. You will find your mate soon, and the pain you are feeling will be a distant memory.Stay by her side, fight through the pain, my son. She will need you when your brother inevitably breaks her heart. It will hurt, but you’ll have to help fix them in order to find your own happiness. I know you have a great heart. I can already see how morally grounded you are. You will make the right decision. I have faith in you.&nb
