Love Amongst The Shadows Ch. 29
Zerena's P.O.V. "My mother told me today that my dad left us because he wasn't human. He had found out he wasn't human late in life it seems. I don't know what he is. My mom wouldn't tell me. His name is Zion Barlowe." Kiran's husky voice cut deep. There's no fucking way that the man I just condemned to hell with Alester is Kiran's father, right? Zion could be a totally common name. Okay, woah, hold on. So Kiran's not human? Jesus, what is he then? I kept opening and closing my mouth unsure what to say. That's great? I'm sorry? Welcome to the club? None of these sound right. I know he's waiting for me to say something too. "Are you okay?" I finally spoke. "Kind of. I just want to know what my dad is. What I could possibly be." He was being so open and honest with me. "I could see that being a problem." I couldn't imagine not knowing what you are. Although I guess in a sense I don't fully know everything about myself. That reminds me…Al.Kiran rested his hands on the counter at

If we are going by name I am not really sure what Shade could do. 'Shade?' I called.'I'll tell you once I trust this man more. You have to be cautious.''Fine, be that way.' I rolled my eyes. "She won't tell me. She doesn't trust you enough." I sighed slightly annoyed. I wanted to know this information myself. "Your shadow is smart. It's good to be cautious considering how weak you are." He smirked at me. "Hey! I'm not that weak." He arched an eyebrow at me in disbelief. "Whatever." My attention was immediately taken by the shining of a knife in Alester's shadow. He stabbed Zion straight in the heart. I could feel the color draining from my face. Alester then started a timer, scribbling notes. "Don't worry. Once the infantry finds out the shit he's done to you they'll kill him easily." Al sounded so confident. I wonder if it would be that easy for them. I'm sure Alester has experimented on himself. Any successful experiments he's done, he uses to enhance himself. "I doubt it

"I'm here Emerson." I climbed on his back, grabbing the plate from him. "I'm not a tree." He scolded me. "You might as well be." I laughed. "You're huge." "You wish you were big like me." "And be that ungraceful? No, thank you." I shook my head while taking a bite. "Do me a favor and close my door. We need to talk." I want to tell him about Everett. "No, you don't." Percy's voice came from the doorway. I was still pissed at him. I showed it plainly on my face for him to see."Yes we do." I argued. "Not yet." He warned me. "Oh my God. Fine. Both of you come in. I have something to tell you both. Emerson, you can tell Tally later." Percy's eyes flashed and it ticked me off. He was checking if it was okay for him to come in. I decided to use what I learned from my fight with Al today. I used the small shadow stretching it like Shade taught me and then wrapped it around Percy's waist like Al had done. I pulled him in and used a shadow to close the door. Percy and Emerson both star

Kiran crawled over to me on the bed. His eyes held mine the entire time. He was so seductive. His eyes could entrance me for hours if he wanted to. I laid back as he continued to crawl over me. He braced his weight on his hands, slowly bringing his head down to my own. His lips met mine with a new intensity. Maybe it was just me being more open, but the sparks felt more intense this time around. A deep desire was building up in both of us as our kissing continued. I let my tongue lick over his lips asking for access. His tongue darted out, meeting mine. I tangled my fingers in his luscious locks. His intoxicating smell of amber hit my lungs like a drug. I felt so high from his scent. My mind was dazed in a lustful state. I wanted him so badly. I'd been holding back and now the floodgates had opened and I couldn't contain myself anymore. I pushed him, forcing him to lay on his back as I climbed over him. I pulled my shirt off quickly, bringing my lips back down to him. He was surpris

Did you have fun?" He teased me, eyeing my body. "You fucking pervert!" I yelled at him. I formed a shadow behind him as I brought my fist back to punch him. He dodged the punch from my fist, but not from my shadow behind him. He looked at me surprised as he rubbed his jaw. "You learn quickly." He raised his eyebrows impressed. "Why were you watching?" I was still mad. I am not just going to take his compliment. "Oh please. That was nothing. I would have done a much better job." He winked at me then, only angering me more. "I doubt it." I went to kick him, and he stepped back. I had expected him to do that so I had a shadow waiting to shackle his ankle there. I spun kicking him with my other leg right in the side. He groaned from the force of it. "Are you really that mad?" He seemed surprised. "I didn't think you cared, seeing as you didn't block the Shadows." "I think you're forgetting that I don't know a lot about this. I didn't even know you could block shadows." I went to

Kiran's P.O.V."Next time you might want to turn the porn down." Tate laughed at me as I came into the kitchen. "What are you talking about?" "Man, I could hear the moaning from my room. I don't know what you were watching, but that girl had the sexiest moans. I'm gonna need that video." His comment made me feel pure anger. "Watch it." I snapped at him. "That wasn't a video." "Yeah because Zerena visited and gave you hot sex in the middle of the day." He said sarcastically. "You hit it right on the nose." I grabbed some water from the fridge. When I turned back around Tate's face was horrified. "That moaning was from her?" He couldn't believe it. "I'm going to need you to stop. You're starting to piss me off." I warned him. "My bad, man. I'm sorry. I had no idea." He held his hands up in surrender. "It's fine just stop talking about it." I shook my head at him. "My guy, I can't stop talking about it now. You had sex with your person! That's supposed to be the best sex of yo

Kiran's P.O.V.The bar opened and it was a pretty busy night. Ladies night always is. Lots of girls come for the discounted alcohol and men come for the ladies. I can't stand it when an arrogant man comes up to a beautiful lady and thinks he can just steal her away. They barely talk to the girl and expect her to just follow them around like a puppy. Here comes one now. Slicked back hair and expensive suit. "What are you drinking dear?" He asked the blonde in front of me. "Nothing, thank you." She politely declined him. "Don't worry baby. I can get you anything you like. Just tell me your favorite drink." He grabbed a strand of her hair. She leaned away from him. Come on guy, get the hint. "No thank you. I'm not drinking tonight. I'm just here for my friends." She was trying her best to politely reject this guy, but he was being stubborn. "I'm sure your friends would understand if you decided to have a drink with me. Don't you know who I am?" He asked her. Dude, come on. That's

Zerena's P.O.V. (After the chamber)Alester had injected me with that same thing again. He still won't tell me what the hell it is. Maybe it's just a placebo and he's doing it to mess with my head. I mean I don't feel any different when he gives it to me. He put me back in the light room and told me he'd be back soon. I practiced making the shadow thick while I waited for his return. When he returned, he was accompanied by Percy. Not this crap again. "This time I've injected dear Percy with dragon pheromones. Your turn to resist, Zerena. I wonder if you can do it." He smiled at me. This sadistic son of a bitch. What is he up to? "Fuck you, Alester. I'll resist all night. You'll see!" I yelled from the closed door at him. I hate him!"He gave me a strong dose, Zerena. You should leave now. I can tell it's already starting to pour out of me." Percy actually looked a bit panicked, which wasn't like him. It made me nervous. Kiran will still be at work so I can't go see him yet. I gue

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
