Love Amongst The Shadows Ch. 149
Percy's P.O.V.Zerena hadn't come to see me yet. Normally she stops by in the morning for a few minutes to show me the bump that's begun to grow. It's been growing faster here lately. I decided to go for my daily walk when she didn't show at her usual time. This place was beautiful, somehow the weather was always nice too."Good morning, Percy!" Dex's friendly tone reached me.He jogged up to me, matching my pace once he caught up. Dex and I have been talking a lot since I helped Gabriel. He's a pretty nice guy. He's been giving me advice about raising a kid that isn't my own. It's been nice to talk to someone in a slightly similar situation.Honestly, it was because of his advice that I told Zerena how I felt about her

Zerena's P.O.V.Meeting Kiran's mom was definitely interesting. It was all kinds of awkward, but also nice. If she can get clean, I'll allow her to get to know Augustus. Kiran and I both agreed and apparently so did Augustus because he kicked right as we decided that. Kiran smiled so big when he felt it. He kissed my stomach too, making me blush since his mom saw.I rushed to Percy after and told him everything about Topher and Umbra. He was right though, once Kiran told me he no longer felt jealousy or heartache over it, I'd made up my mind. Topher is my intertwined now, not just my forced husband. The pull I feel for him is a million times stronger now. It's killing me. There's no denying him.I stayed a while with Percy, talking with him and Dex. We walked towards Dex's house. I wa

Topher's P.O.V.I hate when she does this. Her shadows were open just an hour ago. For some reason she feels the need to close them when she goes to see Percy. I pictured his lips on her again and it had my blood running cold. My hands were in fists and I was ready to go beat his as.s if he was touching her again.I don't understand why she's with him. She has Kiran and now she has me. Why does she still need him? I didn't think she was a cheater, but she seems to be proving me wrong. She told me she wanted to wait to seal our bond all the way, but yet she goes with him.Fu.ck it. I'm coming to her.I don't care if they're in the middle of the hottest sex of their lives. I'll rip them apart, taking Zerena home, and r

Zerena's P.O.V.Explain? I mean yeah, I guess I could. I just don't know that I want to, from the way he asked. He pissed me off, telling me he was going to get mad."Get mad, then. I don't owe you shi.t. It was before you. It's not your concern." I snapped at him, taking a step back.He narrowed his eyes on me, clearly getting mad. He stood straight up, reminding me what a giant he is. He ran his fingers through his hair, pulling it back from his face."I'm going to be a part of that baby's life so it does concern me. Why did he have his lips against you the other night? Why has he slept with you before? Why are you carrying his child, Z? I really can't take it, so please. Tell me?" He changed tactics, showing me how m

Topher's P.O.V.I'm a fu.cking idiot. Of course, she didn't cheat. She's not that person. No instead I accuse her of cheating when she was actually raped. Shadows, I'm such an as.shole. I'm the worst!I kissed her forehead again. Wiping away the silent tears I made her cry with my stupid pestering. I should have left it alone and trusted that she wasn't doing anything.'There was no way we could have known that.' Luscious tried to excuse my behavior.' We should have. We knew she was being held with some sick bastard. I'm such an idio.t.'"Z, I am so sorry." I kissed her cheeks again,then her jaw.
Love Amongst The Shadows Ch. 154
Zerena's P.O.V.Lord have mercy, my body won't stop. The shivers, goosebumps and pleasure just keep rolling through me. My center is damn tender and sensitive right now that the lightest graze has me trembling. Damn that Topher with his talented tongue and fingers.Ember's words of advice still rang in my head, and I knew that I would have to talk with Kiran and Topher to figure this out, but for now I'll enjoy this moment with him. A moment in euphoric bliss, that has me worn the fu.ck out.I felt myself falling against his chest, still fully naked and tender. Dear Jesus, do his hands and touches feel like euphoria itself. I was so focused on him that everything else had cleared from my mind. I began to relax further into him, until I was pulled into a deep darkness. An image of a la

3 months have passed already, with no headway on the Isaac or Alester problems. On a more positive note, Kiran and Topher have been getting along great. They don't mind sharing a room or bed, as long as I'm in the middle. They each get their night where we could spend one on one time. Somehow Topher and I have managed to not have full on sex, getting away with oral stuff. I swear I'm going to choke and die on his d*ck one day. The thing is massive.Ares and Augustus have been growing well. I've swollen quite a lot, making it hard to fight or train with my body. I've been using my shadows, but not too much. I don't want to hurt Ares by accident. I pull Percy here to visit at times, but I mainly see him every morning. Sometimes I stay and visit with Mom or dad and other times I stay to visit Ember and her family. She's become a good friend.

Time passes by so damn slow in the hospital. I've been here a week already and it feels like it's been one year. I'm being dramatic but it's so boring here. Percy comes and goes with Topher. Kiran stays by my side for the most part. He does go to work at times or train. He gets a bit stir crazy too.He spends time with Auggie, any chance he gets though. I've decided I like Gabriel's nickname for Augustus, and so I've stolen it. He's finally staying in Kiran's arms without shadow weaving immediately. Kiran's so happy now. Ares is doing well too. The steroid shots helped Ares to develop stronger. They should release me later today. I just have to wait till then.I was watching Auggie stir in his little crib. When he didn't get what he wanted, he traveled to me. He almost missed the bed, but I caught him with a shadow. I don

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
