Love Amongst The Shadows Ch. 112
Zerena's P.O.V.Hearing about everything Kellan has learned these past two days has been amazing. I couldn't help the grin that stayed on my face till my cheeks hurt. Kiran kept his arms around me from behind as Kellan recounted the tales of the siren city. He told us he met the king and queen and that they're even related. Puts his prince charming costume into a whole new perspective. Of course I teased him about it, but for once he laughed alongside me. "I keep hearing your voice in my head constantly teasing me every time I learn something new. I hear Emerson's laugh and Tally's little giggle at times." His shoulders slumped some. "I really miss you guys." I shoved his shoulder a bit, trying to get him to lighten up. "Quit it. We're not far and the moment you link, we're here. You could have linked us sooner if you were really missing us." I teased him. "I didn't want to bother you all." He admitted, hurting my heart a bit in the process. "You're not a bother, Kellan." I assur

Kellan's P.O.V.It was nice seeing and talking with everyone this afternoon. Zerena said exactly what we all needed to hear. I don't know how she was able to say that to us like that. She's so damn strong all around, but it seems more so emotionally right now. I currently have this big beaming joy in my heart. I swam down the way my father taught me. I could see the bright lights of the city lighting up the dark ocean floor. I know I am still good on time for the party, so I'll head to the house first and fix myself up. Time to clean my tail and put the wax stuff on. Hopefully that'll help brighten my own scales. I did like my father instructed and coated my scales with a good helping of wax. They were so shiny it was almost blinding. My upper body was toned well, showing my abs off. Father had given me some other cream to put on my torso for the party. It helped make it look like my skin was shining in a way too. It looked like my skin had been oiled or something. "You look ready.

Zerena's P.O.V."Hey, Kellan has someone he wants us to meet. He sounded excited. I am not sure who it could be though. So let's go! I am way too curious for this suspense." I pulled on Kiran who was just about to try and lay me down. "Zerena, we just saw him. Can't we have like 5 minutes to ourselves." He pleaded with big eyes. "Fine, 5 minutes." I smile, kissing his lips tenderly. I love those plump lips. We made out for those 5 minutes, grouping and grinding against each other. It was hard to stop and I am sure Kiran wasn't amused when I stood up at exactly 5 minutes. "I didn't literally mean 5 minutes." He complained. "I know. Don't worry when we get back you can do whatever you want to me." I promised him and he arched a brow. "Anything?" He confirmed. "Anything." I nodded, excited to see what he'd come up with. "Okay." He smiled, looking excited now. 'Going to the pack lands for a bit. Shouldn't be gone more than an hour.' I sent the message through Topher's door to let

Kiran's imagination ran wild with him last night. He had me tied to the bed once, bound another time and we finished with me standing upright hands tied above my head. My arms are sore today, but man was it worth it. My body is still ringing with the pleasure of it all. "Good morning, beautiful." He kissed my forehead. "Good morning." I smiled up at him. "How are you feeling?" He seemed concerned after everything he did last night. "Great. A little sore, but great." I kissed his neck, groaning a bit as I did. "I'm sorry, Zerena. I got carried away." He rubbed my arms with the tips of his fingers, soothing my muscles. "It's okay. I really enjoyed it." I promised him, I sat up on the bed and it was like all the morning sickness hit me like a freight train.I ran to the bathroom, vomiting what little I had in my stomach. Kiran was by my side in an instant, holding my hair up and rubbing my back like he didn't think this was disgusting at all. He tied my hair for me with a hair tie

Christopher's P.O.V.I know I'm intruding. I know that she would have enjoyed this moment better without me, however; without me here the doctor would have asked questions he didn't need to know the answer to. Although, I learned something new that I'll have to ask her about. Who's the other dad? And why is there another dad if she had her intertwined already? She's not as pure hearted as I thought. I guess when you grow up the way she has it's impossible to be truly good. I'd hate the world if I was her. I've only been by her side a couple of days, but I've learned so much about her. She cares about the people she calls family the most. She'll drop anything and everything for them. When she's with them she acts cool and laid back like she could care less, but she seems to care the most. I've only ever heard her laugh with her family. I don't think I've heard her laugh with Kiran yet. Although she stares at him like he created the moon and the stars for her. She seems most comforta

Christopher's P.O.V."Dad?" I called out into his dark cell. The place smelled horrid. The prisoner had plumbing, but it wasn't the best as the pipes would freeze often here. "Chris?" He came forward, stepping into the light. He hadn't shaved in a few months, causing his beard to grow so long it was touching his chest now. His hair, that was once a light sandy blonde, was now so dirty that it looked brown. It was long, to his shoulder blades, matted so badly there was no chance of getting anything through it. He'd lost weight again, his ribs clearly visible through his skin. "I'm here, Dad." I grabbed his hand through the bars. "Are you eating?" "What I can." He responded softly. "Let's not talk about me. Tell me what's going on with you." He gave me that broken smile that he thought made me feel better, but in reality only broke me further. "Dad, you need to eat. Here I brought you this. Eat it while I tell you some good news." I handed him some food that I had tucked away. He

Zerena's P.O.V."Hey, I linked you it, but I wanted you to see it in person too." I told Percy, handing him the ultrasound pictures. He took them wearily, like they were too precious to touch. He was silent as he just stared at the marvel in the picture. He traced the images with his finger tenderly. He did it to both ultrasounds, unsure of which is his. "The shadow womb baby is Kiran's, due August 4th. The baby in my normal womb is ours and it's due September 23rd." I informed him. "This one?" He pointed to the correct ultrasound, and I nodded my head. He smiled as he stared at his son. I could see the love he held for him already, tugging at my heart like a lead weight. Our Ares, who'll have my eyes and Percy's dark hair and slender features. His and my kid, what a crazy thing to think of. We created a life, one we will forever be responsible for. Kiran and I as well, a whole little baby. I'm responsible for two lives, it's a lot to take in. "Thank you for coming to show me the

Rain pulled Percy into her mind to show him where his parents were located. We were all watching them as they sat there, eyes closed and concentrated. "Zerena, how about I teach you how to use the small parts of my shadow that you carry while we wait?" Dad broke my attention. "I can do that?" I knew I had a piece of each of their shadows, but I didn't realize that meant that I could use them myself. "When you called on them, they melded with your shadow, giving it some of our abilities. It's only part of it so it'll be weak. You won't be able to do as much as we can with it." He explained. "Holy sh.it! Yes, I want to learn." I almost jumped with excitement. "Perfect. First let me start by telling you that my shadow's ability is to cast illusions. Your mother's shadow's ability is to freeze things. Her shadow can freeze any inanimate object or any living thing." He started. We spent about 15 minutes practicing. Dad taught me how to access those weak abilities. I could cast very s

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.
Love Amongst The Shadows Ch. 168
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
