Love Amongst The Shadows Ch. 69
"We can't just let him go." I argued with everyone. Everett and Jason agreed going after him wasn't worth it right now. The shadow weavers said they couldn't locate him at that speed. Both groups decided it would be best to watch and wait for him to emerge. The fire had consumed the entirety of the home except the cars we got out from the garage. Emerson was elated to have his baby. He was showing it off to Everett, in a brotherly bonding moment. Again, nice to watch, and super happy for them, but fu.ck our luck, man."I get it, Zae. I want to find him right now too. We were so fu.cking close." Percy squatted beside me on the grass. "I hate this!" I sighed. "Me too." "Little weaver, you should go see Kiran. We've got it from here. Go enjoy your freedom. Emerson and your people will be staying with us, until they tire of our wolfish ways." Everett and Emerson gave me big grins. "We'll see you tomorrow." He encouraged me to leave, and I didn't need to be told twice. I need to see Ki

I woke up to an empty bed, leaving an empty feeling in my chest. Is this how Kiran felt when he woke up after I left without a word? My poor intertwined, stuck with me for all eternity. I got off the bed, following the delicious smell of food towards the kitchen. I think I know where my Kiran ran off to. I came around the corner and found his broad shoulders flipping pancakes and drinking coffee. He looked so delicious that I could almost opt out of eating the pancakes and eat him instead. "Good morning." I hugged him from behind, catching him off guard. He held my arms tightly against him. "Good morning, beautiful. Did you sleep well? How are you feeling?" "I slept well, and I am starved for this delicious smelling food." I smiled at him taking a seat on one of the barstools. "No, Tate?" I asked him, surprised by the quiet of the apartment. "He's at the pack house, helping with the aftermath of Alester. We'll head over after breakfast." He explained. "Okay sounds good." I rest

Kiran's P.O.V.Percy and I stared at each other for a while in complete silence. It was like we were having a stare down of sorts that I planned on winning. "I'd hate me too, if I was in your shoes." Percy broke the silence, but not the stare. "Glad you understand." I gritted. "Do you want to do like Zae suggested?" He asked, leaning back. "Zae? You mean Zerena?" I furrowed my brows. What kind of nickname is Zae? "Yes. Do you want to go spar or not?" He lost his patiences with me finally. "Let's go." I got off the bed, determined to lead the way. He was like a shadow following close behind and giving off an eerie air behind me. I held my chin up high and continued to stride to where Tate took me to train the first time I was here. I feel like I've gotten to know these pack lands better than I should. A few minutes later we arrived at the spot. There were of course a lot of people here training, but Tate caught my eye. He jogged over to meet us just outside. "What's up?" Tate

Zerena's P.O.V.'I think we've reached a sort of peace. Come back?' Percy linked me. 'He's cooking and I see why you've put him in charge of making dinner in the future. It smells fu.cking amazing.'I laughed still laying on the shadow realm floor, feeling utterly exhausted from Shade's lesson. Controlling the dark is definitely the hardest thing I have tried to do. It's entirely different from controlling shadows, yet eerily similar. It confused me and drained me all at once. 'Take a break. We'll continue later.' Shade told me. I emerged from Percy's shadow, taking a seat beside him, watching Kiran cook. He hadn't noticed I was here, and I motioned for Percy to keep quiet. "I still don't know if I like you that much, Percy, but I'm willing to try. I see how much this has tormented you, and that fact alone makes me feel better about it. Zerena may have forgiven you quickly, but I won't, for her sake." Kiran spoke with his back turned. "For my sake?" I asked him, with a brow raised.

I pulled my hand out of Al's when the familiar setting of the colony settled in around us. "Follow me, princess." Al smirked, leading the way to a large building in the center of the colony, where the sun shone the brightest. I followed silently, keeping my head held high even when all eyes seemed to be following my every move. I could hear their whispers with my sensitive ears. "That's the Watts girl they found." "I heard she was being sex trafficked. Imagine." "I heard she's really powerful, but that she's insane. She has some kind of mental illness." I rolled my eyes at their comments and just kept walking behind Al. They can say what they want, I couldn't care less. Al opened the door to the building for me and I cautiously stepped inside, admiring the glass work all around. The place was so damn bright I could barely feel the shadows here. There were veins wrapped around the four columns surrounding the circular center with a slew of dark roses. "Welcome Zerena Watts. You

"And I thought I was fu.cked up." May's Irish accent surprised the hell out of me as she suddenly whispered to me, pointing in front of us to Nick, who had now taken the lead following Axel."You are." I laughed, because this girl was pure chaos in a small tan body. Nick turned to look at us, allowing me a better look at his face. He had dark tan skin from working on the farm all his life. He had jet black hair, like most people here, buzzed short all around and left long on top. He kept it styled back with pomade, because he doesn't like his hair blocking his field of vision. He had dark brown eyes and they stared at me with curiosity. I stuck my tongue out at him mockingly and he scowled. "You sure you want to poke that beast?" May asked, amused. "From what you know about me now, what do you think?" I asked her, curious to see how much is seen and felt about me from this bond. "I think you want to poke that beast about 100 times more." She laughed, and she wasn't wrong. Al foll

Percy's P.O.V. She's okay. She's fine. She's her. Nothing is going to happen to her. I kept repeating to myself as another possible future played in my head. This time Isaac doesn't bind her, but kills her. She's fine. She's okay. She'll be okay.I focused my thoughts away from the dark possibilities and thought of the future that Zaezae has envisioned for us. It seems to be the only thing keeping me grounded. I know she left and I know she's picking a party right now. I know that she'll be back tonight and she'll be just fine, but the worry of the future changing isn't letting me go. She'll be okay.I stopped pacing and fell back on the bed. Tate will knock on my door to ask if I'm ready in about 30 seconds, and I'm honestly not, but I'll tell him that I am. I'll tell him that I'm ready for the sake of the future I saw when I decide to go with them. I sighed again, really hating going out. Being in crowded places only makes my visions worse. I'll end up with a migraine by the en

Kiran's P.O.V.I watched as Jason grabbed our waitress' wrist, pulling her back and having her fall on his lap. He looked down at her with a smirk and she blushed timidly. I kind of felt bad for the girl, being put through this for a dare. She went to get up, but Jason cupped her face with his hand, causing her to freeze. She didn't seem upset about it. Jason is a very handsome guy and it's to his advantage right now. The waitress just kept her eyes locked on Jason's as he rubbed his thumb over her cheek, sweetly. He smiled at her again and just like that a minute had passed with her on his lap. He leaned forward and whispered into her ear. "Sorry, darling, please forgive me." She blushed, nodding her head, embarrassed a bit by what just happened. She got off his lap so fast you would think Jason's crotch was on fire under her. "Easy." He said again with a smug smirk. "My turn. Who's next?" Jason looked around the table, challenging us. I was about to rise to the challenge when P

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
