Love Amongst The Shadows Ch. 74
"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

Zerena's P.O.V.I woke up on a cot surrounded by green fabric. I was in a tent, but had no idea how I got here. I sat and found May still unconscious on the cot beside me, hooked to a bag of blood. I guess Nick really took that much out of her. Creepy dude that one. Nick was sitting on a cot across from May, watching me. Our eyes met and I made a point not to be the first to look away. Can't show this guy an ounce of fear that's for sure. He finally looked away when someone stepped into the tent. He was more curious, than I, to see who it was. "Watts, wasn't expecting you to be up already." Axel's voice came from the entrance. I looked at him remembering how hard I hit his manhood. The corner of my lips twitched up a bit at the memory. "Something funny, Watts." "You could say that. So what now? Can I go?" I asked, noticing the night sky behind him. It had gotten late while I was out. I wonder what time it is now. Is Kiran back from guys night yet? "Normally we keep our new members

We didn't get much sleep last night with the insatiable hunger we had for one another. We had done it two more times before I was too tired to continue. Kiran had rubbed my sore muscles after, causing me to drift off into the deepest sleep of my life. "Good morning, beautiful." His raspy voice aroused me from my slumber. "Mmm, 5 more hours." I complained, causing Kiran to chuckle. "People tend to say 5 more minutes not hours." He teased. "I'm not people.""I am sorry I kept you up so late." He kissed my bare shoulder from behind me, sending goosebumps down my back. "I'm not. Last night was amazing." I finally opened my eyes, turning to look at his handsome face. Freaking underwear model looking mother fu.cker. "Good, because I can't seem to get enough of you." He nuzzled his head into my neck, pulling me closer. A knock on the door interrupted our tender moment and we both sighed. Kiran got up, pulling some sweatpants over his naked body. I made sure to pull the covers up highe

"I've been here 10 years and I've never even spoken to an elder. She's been here one day and she has one training her? It's bullshi.t." I heard a man's voice complain in the distance as I made my way to the center of the base. "She's part of a founding family. What do you expect?" Another man countered. "We're just lowly soldiers in their army. I don't expect to ever be in their sights and frankly I don't think I'd really want to be." "As long as I don't have to suddenly follow her orders, I'll be fine." The first man, who I am finally getting a good look at spoke. He didn't look that much older than me, if I'm doing my math right he should be 28. He has long dark brown hair, tied low at the nape of his neck. He had light tan skin, almost caramel, and a few scars on his ridiculously large biceps. He was taller than most of the people here, near Emerson's height I would guess. He seemed to have a permanent scowl on his face, with thick eye

"Which does she do better, offense or defense?" Ed directed his question towards Al. "She does offense well." I answered him. "She does both pretty well, but yeah, she's better at offense." Al confirmed. "Alright, Zerena. You'll be with Ed, Josiah, and I on the offensive team. Zach, Isiah, and Al are our defensive group. We'll show you how we fight and you just try to keep up." Curtis told me, and I swear if I didn't just want to d*ck punch him right then. In Curtis' mind the defensive group is like a shield. He has them in a line before us ready to throw their shadows up in defense, while we stand behind them. When it's time to attack the defensive group slips behind momentarily while the other group hits the opponent hard. I don't particularly like this plan. I feel everyone should be better rounded and able to fight back if needed. It's unusual for me to take orders on how I should fight. I hadn't realized how much I don't like no

I woke up in that familiar small cot with green fabric around me. Isiah and Zach sat on the cots beside me with bandages around their foreheads. I felt a sudden wave of nausea hit me and I grabbed the bucket on the small end table beside me. I emptied the contents of my stomach and then some. "Gross." Isiah wrinkled his nose, when I laid back on the bed again. I was worn out, and my body felt so cold inside. The darkness had lingered inside me and chilled me to my core. I need Kiran, I need his warmth and his comfort. "Well she is pregnant." Zach added. "We're lucky she didn't puke while fighting." "That's not why I threw up." I snapped. "It's fine. We get it. We're not judging you for fighting while pregnant. Not everyone has that nurturing side." Isiah added. I sat up on the bed and quickly punched him in the throat. That should keep him quiet for a while. "Shut up." I narrowed my eyes on him. "Still as feisty as ever, I see." Al came into the tent with a smile of amusement.

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
