Love Amongst The Shadows Ch. 14
'My name is Shade. I am your shadow.' The voice responded. 'My shadow?' 'I am the one that helps you control the shadows. The one that gives you more power. There is so much more you can do, but haven't been able to without me. Because I was taken from you at such a young age your body isn't used to me. You need to go to Kiran. He'll help you see again.' Shade explained. 'Why Kiran?' 'Because you don't have any strong bonds. The bonds you have with the people here are too weak. That's why they only created slivers of light. Kiran will illuminate all the darkness.' So that's what those slivers were. My small bond with each person here. I felt my back land on my bed. Percy laid me down gently. I could feel him hovering over me. "I'm sorry. This is my fault." He whispered. Something wet hit my hand. Is he crying? "Don't be. I'll be fine. As far as experiments go this wasn't bad. He gave me something back that was mine. Go to bed Percy. I'll be fine." I tried to comfort him. Altho

Kiran's P.O.V."FUCK!" I yelled, throwing my pillow against the wall. There were about a million and one questions running through my head now. I thought she'd be impressed, instead she was nervous. Hell, she was pissed at the end. My blood was boiling. She can't just tell me what to do without an explanation. She can't demand I follow her every whim. I just met her! Yeah, according to Tate I may be hers, but I don't feel that right now. I feel like all she wants to do is control me. Like she wants to put me in a small box and keep me there, opening it to see me whenever she wants. Only she can tell me what I need to know. Only she can introduce me to other supernaturals. That's not how it's going to work. My curiosity won't be satisfied until all my questions are answered. I am a smart man. I don't feel right until I know it all. She refuses to answer a lot of my questions, so how does she expect me to learn? I just want to punch something right now. My blood is still boiling and

Percy and I met eyes for a moment. Scientist saw it. Good, he can think it's a love glance and not a panicked one. Down the rabbit hole we went. Only it wasn't wonderland, it was hell on earth. The horrid smell wafted into my nose again. How can he tolerate this smell all the time? Tap. Tap. His cane hit the metal slab. Up I went, only this time I am wasn't strapped down. He lifted my shirt and checked me over. It's like getting a physical, only so much more invasive. He poked and prodded me, making notes as he went. "Good, now get undressed." He told me. "What?" He's never asked me to fully undress before. "Oh come now. Overly emotional. You? Not very convincing." He didn't believe me. "Percy you as well." "You two are hiding something from me and I plan on discovering what it is." Well shit. I was so sure I was convincing.Percy was already taking his shirt off, showing the scratches I left on his back. I kept my emotions in check. I can't be embarrassed because according to

Kiran was sleeping on the bed peacefully. He had all kinds of wires sticking out of him. I could hear the beeping of his heart rate on the monitor beside him. He's alive. The sound of his steady heartbeat was easing my own. I felt a presence behind me at that moment, letting me know we weren't alone. I tensed and slowly positioned my body, ready to fight whoever it was. I turned slowly to see two familiar faces. I kept my body tense, but released my fists. It was Tate and the alpha. That explains how Kiran got here, but what exactly happened? "I was beginning to wonder if you would show." Tate muttered. He looked tired and stressed. "Seems you were having fun while he was dying." He pointed to the mark I had Percy leave on my neck. Then he pointed at Percy. "And you brought him here? Damn, you're cold." I was getting mad at his comments. I'm glad Kiran has friends that will defend him, but he doesn't know me. He doesn't know what's going on with me and I'll tear him apart if he kee

Kiran's P.O.V. I woke up to a steady beeping sound. My nose filled with an odd scent of wet dog and rubbing alcohol. It was an odd mixture to say the least. I felt a dull ache on my side, reminding me why I'm here in the first place. "Are you sure he's human? His wound has healed almost all the way now. That's not normal for a human." I heard a woman whispering. I pulled back the curtain around my bed. I saw Tate and Everett speaking with a nurse. They all turned to look at me when they heard the curtain move. "Hey buddy." Tate sounded weird. "Hey." My throat was oddly very dry. "How are you feeling?" The nurse asked me. "Tired. The pain isn't too bad considering I had a bullet in my side." I tried to laugh, but it didn't work. I almost died. "Lay back and rest. You're safe here." The nurse checked my IV and wrote my vitals before leaving. "I called your emergency contact on your employee file. I don't think the pizza place across from the club is a good emergency contact."

Zerena's P.O.V.Left in the dark again, only not alone. I couldn't see them, but I could feel Percy's eyes still on me. I don't know why, but it made me want to shrink down. "So what now Zerena?" Percy's tone was cold. "We pretend to have sex again." I muttered. "At some point pretending isn't going to be enough." Percy warned. "Well at that point, we'll pretend to break up." I snapped. "You think he'd let us?" Percy grabbed my wrist, pulling me towards him. "Probably not." I sighed. This will have to continue for a while. I really need to get better about bending the truth in front of the scientist. I gotta act like me yet not me. It makes my head hurt. I don't know how Percy's been doing this for so long. How do you keep up with all the lies? "So again, what now, Zerena?" He asked cooly."Now we assume he's listening and we moan while we pretend." I answered, frustrated. "I am still a guy, Zerena. There's only so much pretending I can take." He reminded me. Percy may wear a

"This is where we put our unmated females when they are in heat. You should be safe here. It's far enough where no one should be able to smell you." Everett spoke as he opened the door to the cabin. "Thank you. I'll be gone in the morning." I bowed my head in appreciation. Even if these pheromones are still raging I need to be back in the morning. Knowing the scientist, he'll want to check on his experiment's progress. "Are you sure? You don't have to leave so soon. You're welcome to stay as long as you need." Everett told me, apparently offended by my words. "I can't. I can only stay till morning without getting caught." I explained to him. "What if the pheromones are still coming off you?" Kiran asked concerned and I shrugged my shoulders."I have no choice." Kiran's nostrils flared. I could see him clenching his teeth in frustration. I have a lot to explain to him, but I honestly haven't had a good night's sleep in two days. I can't keep going like this. "We'll leave you to

I clawed at Percy's arm that was around my neck. He couldn't move that one, to avoid my assaults. I made his arm bleed, but he still wouldn't let go. I thrashed around. I would have never pegged Percy to be a great fighter. I'd always been the strongest, but it really was because of my shadows. You take that away from me and I'm more on Tally's level now. I pressed my back firmly against the wall and had my legs climb against Percy. He used his free hand and wedged it between my thighs pushing my legs apart and causing them to fall. I was desperately trying to escape him. I won't let this happen. I won't let Alester have his wish. Percy pulled at my underwear causing the lace to slowly tear apart. Note to self, buy stronger underwear, they tore within a minute. I stood before him fully naked now and tears of rage were misting my eyes. I pulled the wrist of his free hand towards me causing him to take another step closer to me. I pulled my head back and head budded him as hard as I c

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
