The next couple of days she was back to her clients, while I was busying myself with her back garden. I insisted that young Lionel was no longer welcome and that I would do his work.
It had been hundreds of years since I had done labor work. The repetition of the work was calming me down, I was sitting down on her garden while taking a break. I took the knife that I had taken from the shed before, and start carving onto the log. I used to do this when I was still a kid, my hands were remembering the techniques. I was smiling, when I was finding the simple pleasure of carving the log.
It was not until she brought me some water hours later when I realize that I had been carving for hours and it was noon already.
"My god Arkael...this is beautiful. I didn't know you could sculpt, and you
Spoiler for Embrace the Lightread it if you haven't ❤️....I quickly pulled up my pants, grabbed my other shirt, and went after her. Then stop when she gasped as she opened the door revealing Florence and Walter. She had an amused expression, while Walter was looking a bit mad.But why?I quickly put on my shirt, when I noticed that Florence was smirking obviously knew what had just happened between Shani and me.Then
The next morning we dropped off Florence to her old house, Shani said that she needed some alone time from Walter. She was a little worried about Florence, so she accompanied her into the house and put some protection for her against evil spirits.She must very good at what she does since she always has people coming to the house. And from the looks of them, these were nice people.But then the thought of her ability took me back to last night when Florence had a vision that I would be going back to hell. I was sitting in her car thing, and which was making me more uncomfortable.Luckily she was out the door minutes later. Then she was saying her goodbye and headed back to the car."I'm sorry if it took a while, but I needed to make s
She finally parked the car on her driveway and looked at me seconds after she turns off the engine."We should err...get inside." She said carefully. The rain was still pouring hard outside, but somehow I managed to nod my head and move my ass and walk towards her front door.She was struggling with her keys when I finally take it from her and assist the simple task of opening the door for her. She went inside and waited as I lock both of us in the cocoon of her little house."We should get out of our wet clothes..." I said walking towards her, and start taking off my shirt.She was standing still, her hungry eyes were glued to my naked half. She bit her lip, and walk backward, and stop as her back hits her bedroom door.She was still fully drenched in her wet clothes, while I was down to my briefs that show my hardness in all its wet glory.I took her waist and pull her f
"Arkael." He greeted me, walking away from the portal behind him half-naked."Ranulf, how...why? What happened?" I asked him breathing heavily, as the air surrounding the portal was getting thicker.It wasn't until when the thin layer of the portal was closing, that the surrounding air was gradually back to its normal density. I sighed as it was getting easier for me to breathe."Hell on earth, we need to get the situation under control. Since you surfaced, we had occurrences where several human witches summons demons from the deepest pits of hell. And it had brought havoc to our balance underground...""Arkael?"Goddamn... I completely forgot about Shani. Ranulf looked at me, smirking.She was by my side moments later, then gasped loudly when she sees the fallen Angel."Let's get inside." I took Shani's hand in mine. I know she was mine,
It was half an hour later when Shanicame back to tell us that Rain was ready."But you! I don't care that you're the king of hell. He's hurting bad... very very bad, you need to..." Shani was telling him off as I shook my head to her, but she was not even looking at me. She was being her fiery little self, trying to defend her friend."You will say no such thing witch." Ranulf got up and his wings move elegantly with his body.I took her to my back, and she struggled to try to stand up for her friend making him smirked. He knows exactly that I would die for her and he finds it amusing."Shani! He will not hurt your friend. You need to control yourself if you want to do this. Or I'm going along with him and you can stay here with Rain!" I said a bit harshly to her.She was seriously endangering herself, you do not spat the king of hell. He might look tame, but he cou
Shani's POV"Ranulf, we should start our discussion...Shani, we will continue this later. Sabina and Muriel will show you to our chamber." Arkael said.I was about to object when Ranulf told me, that I could check on Rain."He's currently resting in my chamber. But we won't be needing both of you, for the time being, we will try and settle this without putting both of you in danger." He said casually."It should be a simple task, I had identified the so-called beast. I will let Rain deal with the demon after we capture and secure him in our dungeon." He said pointing to Arkael and himself.I was about to object again, knowing that Arkael was in his human form when Ranulf continue on his words.Damn, he can surely ready mind."We have our own demon sorcerers, Ar
Shani's POVThey didn't leave me when we reached Arkael's chamber. It was a big room just like the one before. But this one had more dark brown colors decorating its surrounding. While the previous one was mostly were red and gold.I was about to thank them and calm myself down as I wait for Arkael when Sabina and Muriel came to me and started kissing me. They were picking up where we left off at Ranulf's chamber.I started to moan in between their kisses and caresses. This is so wrong in so many ways, I should really stop.Muriel slid her hand to my front, and slowly trace down further between my legs, I know I was soaking already. "Muriel, please... I can't..." But my resistance came out more like a plea. And I was sandwiched between the two nymphs."It's alright m
I was too far gone to realize that I might've hurt her. I was gripping her too tight and she was shedding her tears because of me.Goddamn!Her small figure shuddered as I finally let her go."Shani?"Deep down I know she was hurting, but it wasn't because of my hold to her."I want to go back, can we go back home now?" she snuggled closer to me and I could feel her tears on my chest."Shani...please tell me what's wrong. I can't read your mind...baby?"She flinched as I said the last word.Condom. Damn. But this was not our first. I was bare last time too."Shani, I'm so sorry love. I'll arrange things we will leave soonest. It will be okay...look at me..." I cupped her cheek and kiss her tears away."I'm so damn old, I might not be able to pr
Four years later"Oh my god, Arkael! I swear that kid of yours is going to be the death of me." Shani sighed exaggeratedly while still holding on to her scissors."Baby, he's your kid too. He even has your freckles." I said while quickly peck her freckled cheeks."Audric my boy, sit and stop running around. Let your mom cut your hair.""I DON'T WANT TO! it's going to hurt. Daaad....save me!" he was whining and screaming at the same time. His little chubby hands sprawled out to me, trying to get me to pick him up.I couldn't help myself and finally let out laughter, which makes my dearest beautiful wife pouted equally adorable."Both of you are equally killing me with your cuteness. Come here..."I picked up my little guy with one hand and pulled my feisty mate for a kiss with the other."Eeeew....gross. Down...put me DOWN!
"Arkael, I'm not feeling so good." She snuggled in closer to me.It had been a week since her last encounter with the demon crawler and she was still recuperating too slow. Her wounds were gone, not even a scar to remind her of but she was still sleepy all the time, and she started vomiting since early this morning."Let me get Maven for you okay? Do you want Sabina or maybe Rain?""You...I want you, just...oh god..." then I gave her the bowl to throw up. Sabina was by her side moments later, giving her a drink to take away the foul taste in her mouth."My king, Maven would like to speak to you if you have the time. Let me ease her nausea...may I?" she looked at me then to Shani.She nodded then smile at me when her nausea was taken away by the simple touch of Sabina's hand."I'm good love, go...Sabina will keep me company while we gossip about Savaric and Basilea."
Shani's POVI was back at Maven's for a day of summoning demons back to hell. I sighed as I feel the need to get the whole thing over and done with."My queen, I've located several and master Rain had discovered the rest..."I looked up at Maven then scanned the surroundings, and yelp when I saw Rain standing with his book smiling at me."Oh my God, I've missed you so fucking much!!" I hugged him as he lifts me up and squeezes me with his all, his eyes switch as his wolf greeted me. I grinned after kissing his cheek and ruffled his hair."Okay...what did I tell you about my hair." He chuckled then let me get back down to my feet."Awww... welcome back and I missed you wolfie!" I hugged him one more time before Maven cleared his throat, to remind us that he was present."Okay six more demons, let's do this!" I was back to my serious side an
She joined me to the bed taking both of the nymphs with her. Then she let Sabina get on top of me and touch my temple, while Muriel was behind her giving small kisses to her shoulder. It was like Muriel was giving her the support that she needed.Then it hit me, the first wave of her sadness. I know that Sabina had the power to absorbs other being's inner feelings. But I didn't know that she could release the feeling back onto others.The desperation, the broken heart, the helplessness, the deep sadness, and eventually the unwillingness to live without me. My heart breaks for her and I finally shed a tear.Shani moved closer to me then kiss my tear away. "I love you, my king, always." She kissed me softly for the longest time. I could feel Sabina getting up, then Muriel joined her. Both of them slowly walked away from the bed, and finally, leave us alone.We were both engulfed with the fe
She was really angry with me, she had spent her mornings and afternoons these past two days with Maven with an excuse that she needs to get everything done and let me heal.She would cuddle up with me at the end of the day giving me her strength, but I could tell that she was not giving her all."Your healing process is going too slow my king." Maven said as he was checking my back injury."You think?! Look...is she done yet with those demons? I really need to settle this back on earth. She's not being herself here."I was upset with Maven, obviously for putting me in the position. I understand that it was needed but it was still irritating for me.It was hours later when I finally had the extra patience to deal with her. I didn't want both of us to snap when we argue, I know exactly how she could be very passionate about her arguments. I needed to be calm and settle this once and for all.
Shani's POV"Savaric! What the hell happened to him?" my vision was getting blurry, I was suffocating.No no, no no....he promised me! His handsome face was very pale, his back shield was broken and mashed badly. I wouldn't have to imagine what kind of damage caused to his back, his spine...oh my god, will he be able to walk or even sit again?I didn't have the strength to stand up anymore and was about to fall if Sabina was not there to support me."My queen, please...let me help you. Maven sent me to usher you to king Arkael's chamber...""Warrior Savaric, please follow me Muriel and Maven are already there." She said as she sees Savaric by his side.Sabina helped me to Arkael's chamber, she was by my side and was giving me more strength. But I was losing hope already, I could only watch as they were all busy stripping
One more day.I was getting antsy, and she was starting to realize it.We were lying in bed ready to end the day. I was spooning her, trying to keep my feelings under control."Arkael?""I'm good Shani, it's just that we've been here too long already. And I can't wait to get back up." I started kissing her neck and pulling her close to me.What if everything goes wrong tomorrow? I don't want her to shed a tear for me. I don't ever want her to be sad."No something is wrong, I could feel it." She said looking into my eyes."Just the war, it's alerted to me, and with Ranulf still in recuperation, I'm doubting myself. Look...why don't...you...take my mind off of it?" I started kissing her with each pause, and kiss her deeper at the end of my explanation.It wasn't a total lie, there was going to be a war tomorrow. But it was
Maven was by his side moments later, he was busy with his balms and ointments. Shani was helping him with the ingredients, while Rain was pacing himself back and forth. His eyes kept on changing colors.Shani looked at me watching the changes in Rain, then she explained to me."His wolf is struggling from the inside, the red color eyes are his wolf's. He wants to resurface, but Rain is not letting him. He must've felt that it was his wolf's fault that Ranulf was hurt." She looked at him sadly."He could combust he kept on resisting his wolf...maybe I should..." She said as she walks towards Rain and hugged him, he was finally teary. Then moments later he was growling when he was finally turning, and let his wolf surfaced.Maven kept working on Ranulf's wound, and not the very least affected by the very large wolf who gets onto his bed and snuggled up to his healthy side.It kept on voicing
"Arkael, we really need to get out of bed or you're going to be drain again and we would never leave this hell.""Mmmhh...that is not such a bad idea. We could lounge all day and make love and....""How about your King's duties once you decide to reside back here? Not to mention the scheduled war, the training for the soldiers, the constant nagging from the unsatisfied beings...don't say you love them more than lounging on earth and do nothing but carved all day and do me all night?""Damn...you make a very good point, okay I'm up were meeting Ranulf and Rain soonest and settle your elder stuff."She slithered her hand around my shoulder, as I take her away from the bed along with me. We dipped in the royal bath for another steamy make-out session then get dressed. She was still not used to the vast emptiness of the bath, but I proved her otherwise. Every time."You two lovebirds
