“Dad, you’re going to have to order me again,” I tell him, feeling the anxiety building up in me again. It’s like a wave that won’t stop cresting over me. I have no idea how to stop it. Which is honestly making the anxiety spike even faster.

I’m standing at the top of the hill overlooking the battle. Normally Dad would be in the thick of things, making sure that our pack members are safe.

He’s got one of the coolest abilities, I think. Even with all of his tattoos, artifacts of the life that he lived with Aunt Chloe and Aunt Keisha before he met mom, he can fade into the background like he isn’t even there. You can walk right next to him, sniff the air, and look him dead in the eyes and not see him. He’s completely camouflaged to all were senses.

The only one that has ever been able to see him was Gregory, because he could duplicate his skills.

I remember stories that Mom and Dad told me about their battles. Dad would camouflage himself and sneak right up to the enemy

Well, the battle was over pretty quickly, at least.

I've read all of these stories since the beginning and I have a love hate relationship with the suspense and unhappy endings in them. I expect all hell to break loose both figuratively and in the case literally.

    “I want to be with my team,” I growl, pacing back and forth. “I’m likely not going to feel anything. Nyx and I aren’t…we’re not…we never marked each other.” My voice faded out at the end of my sentence. “I know, Nate, but we don’t know how this is going to affect you,” Freya says. Bella, Jamal, and my folks thought that it would be best if I stayed with Freya. She’s the next High Priestess of the Maiden Coven. I’m the wolf mate of Lucifer’s mate. We’re prizes to be won. So we were put far away from the fighting. I mean fucking far from the fighting. Two hours away in a cave. Freya continues, “The fact that you two are having your matebond broken forcibly without the two of you rejecting each other is unknown territory. We don’t know what you’ll feel or if you’re going to have trouble focusing.” “Yeah, well this is pissing me off. I’ve got nothing to do!” I nearly shout. “Why don’t we work on my trial magic? That’ll take our minds off of everything, right?” Freya says,

  • Mother, May I   Chapter 14 - Freya

    The feeling of Nate’s skin against mine is addicting. His lips are sweet, his scent a mixture of grass and dirt and sweat in the most masculine way. I had never actually thought that I would kiss Nathan Swift, especially after he found out that Nyx was his mate. But here it is happening. In the back of my mind, I know that this isn’t a good idea. That he’s heartbroken, that the Maiden’s power is riding us right now, and that he won’t stay mine. That once this war is over, his goal is going to be to get Nyx back. But I can’t seem to stop myself. The magick is riding me too hard right now. It’s not the only thing that I want riding me. But I have to pull away. I have to know that it’s not just my love for Nate that is pushing this forward. He has to have a part in this decision too. Gathering all of my strength, I end the kiss with Nathan and pull away. Both of us are breathing hard and I can see that his beautiful dark blue eyes have started to bleed across the whit

    I know that I’m doing this out of pure desperation. I know that I shouldn’t be doing it. It’s only going to complicate shit. My relationship with Bella and Jamal. My relationship with Freya and her siblings. It’s also not going to help Nyx or make me feel better in the long run. But with the magick that is flowing through me from the Maiden demanding to be let out and this vacuous hole in my chest from my matebond with Nyx being broken, I need to feel…something. Anything. I know that this isn’t the right thing to do. I shouldn’t be taking Freya’s virginity, no matter how ok she is with this. But with the way that she’s looking at me, her eyes filled with lust and longing, and how much I just need to feel wanted at this moment, I give in. I’m not proud of it. I’m weak. I know I am. But it doesn’t stop me.I slide the head of my cock through her folds, gathering her wetness on my length.“Oh, Goddess,” she moans at the feel. She really is gorgeous. Her skin is a warm

    “They’re ok!” I tell Jacob. “Thank the Goddess,” he sighs and pulls me into a huge hug. “Where are they?” “Making out on the battlefield,” I giggle. Jacob pulls back, cocking an eyebrow at me. “Seriously?” “Babe, wouldn’t you? We haven’t had Hermes in months! We were all moping around here like we lost our favorite dick,” I say, curious why he’s upset. “I can’t tell if it’s my favorite dick since I haven’t had his dick. Still not sure if I’m ready for a fourth in our mating,” Jacob mumbles. “Dude, fuck off! You know that you want him. We all want him. We’ve talked about this,” I say, smacking him in the chest. Jacob just stares at me. “Are you fucking serious, Jacob?” I swear at him. “Are you really going to deny how much you missed him?” “No, I…I don’t deny it. I just…this didn’t really solve anything, right? I still don’t really know the guy. He still fucked up our matebond. And I’m still not sure if this is what I really want,” he says. “You know w

    Selene, Thor, and Hecate all walk out of the portal looking like they’ve been through hell. Their faces are dirty and scorched looking. The armor that they’re wearing doesn’t look any better and the metal is definitely still still smoking as the burnt areas cool. Blood and darker things coat their clothes, hair and visible skin. It’s very evident that they’ve been through some sort of battle, but they shouldn’t have been. They were only supposed to find wherever Nyx was and bring her back. I mean, Lucifer would be difficult for any of them to beat, but Selene and Thor should have been able to hold him off long enough for Hecate to scoop up Nyx and the three of them to have gotten out of there. That doesn’t seem to be what happened. “What in the world happened?” It’s Slade, pulling on some shorts with Ryder’s wolf beside him. Selene looks at Ryder and waves her hand. He immediately shifts back into his human form. “I’m sorry, Ryder. I know that you are having a lot of trou

    It takes about another two hours before the feast that Hecate, Selene, and Thor laid before us to come to a close. Between strategizing what will happen next, toasts to the fallen, lamentations over the loss of Nyx, and the good old festivities that comes to the victors of a battle, it takes that long for all of us to calm down. As the feast comes to a close, Selene walks over to my mates and I. Without much preamble, she tells Hermes, “If you are going to stay away from Lucifer, you are going to have to come with us to Valhalla. It’s the only place that we can police who goes in and out without spreading ourselves too thin.” Hermes nods, as if he knew that Selene would say this. “I understand. But I won’t go anywhere without my mates. We’ve spent way too much time without each other. I refuse to be anywhere without them.” That’s not unexpected for him and JoJo, since they are the only ones of us that are marked. No one can be without their marked mate for too long withou

    You gotta love when your mate is a god and they can get undressed with just a wave of their hands. Instantly, Hermes is naked with a rather impressive hard on pointing upwards towards Alex and me. It’s only because I feel Alex’s skin against mine at my back that I know that he’s done the same with our clothes. The fated sparks race up and down my skin and I moan at the feel of Alex hard and ready at my back. The thing that I didn’t expect was to hear Hermes’ moan as well. He stares at us and I know that our eyes have completely been taken over by our irises: Alex’s their beautiful hazel and mine their mahogany brown. The lust in his eyes is unmistakable. “I can feel what you feel, Josefina. When we’re this close, I can feel Alex’s touch on you. And you’ll be able to feel the same thing when our mates touch me,” Hermes tells me. Immediately, Alex’s hands go to my breasts and he rolls my nipples between his fingers, causing me to lean back into him, thrusting my chest into h

    The feeling of Alexander’s hard, thick, length sliding into Josefina’s tightness has my cock standing at attention and aching for them already. I had no idea that it was this intense for a woman to be penetrated. To be teased and fucked. Yes, I’ve had sex with both men and women in my time here on earth. It’s quite difficult to stick with just one gender when you’re around for eons. And I thought that I had tried everything that there is to do with sex and sexual pleasure. It’s why I was glad to have two male mates and one female. I like to be penetrated almost as much as I love penetrating myself and a male can do and take both. But the feeling that I have with Josefina, this understanding of what a woman feels in the midst of pleasure, I had no idea. For one, there’s so many different things that cause pleasure. And it’s more so than any male can feel. Granted, men have a prostate that can be pleasured during anal sex. But women are so much more sensitive in their nippl

    So much pain. Those fucking angels! They killed my mate. They killed MY CHILD! And then they tried to kill me. I had enough power left within me in order teleport away from them to the edge of Tartarus. But I was bleeding heavily from a wound that eviscerated my stomach and just missed my heart. Otherwise, I would have died right then and there. I used all the power that I had left to make my way through the cyclopses, the hydra, the river of fire. And then I make my way down the labyrinthine walkways, looking for my first love. Only she will have the power to heal me. Only she will have the power to bring me back to what I was before. I don’t know how long it took for me to get to her. How much blood flowed from my body. How much pain I felt. How low I had to get. I laid on the ground, covered in dirt, dehydrated, and weak. And then I feel someone push me with their foot.

  • Mother, May I   Chapter 99 - Josefina

    It’s so hard to believe that the war is over. All of that build up and fear for just one, admittedly epic, fight? I guess I just never realized how much war is about waiting for something to happen. Hermes says that it’s really like that, but it’s still hard to believe. The angels are all up in a tither worried that they haven’t been able to find evidence of Lucifer’s body being gone. We haven’t heard anything from their god, so I’m assuming that he’s not worried about it. I mean, it’s been two weeks and nothing. Gabriel has even come to Jacob and said that he can start the process of detaching from the Christian god and giving up his powers. Though, halfway through Gabriel’s instructions on how to do that, Michael showed up and basically begged Jacob to remain a Throne for another six months. Just in case Lucifer came back. After meeting with Maeve, Dougal, and Win, the results were mixed. Maeve hated being a Throne.

    A parent should never have to bury their child. Ever. Even though Nyx wasn’t of our blood or even of our species, she was just as much our child as Jared, Summer, and Chris. Even though she was only with us for a less than a year, she was our pup. And this is the worst pain that I’ve ever experienced, aside from the pain of losing Charlie. I stand with Kayla, Brandon, Jared, Summer, Rowen, Chris, and Esteban. Little Lilianna sits on Chris’s lap, the two year old not understanding what is happening. Neither do the triplets, Nixon, Natalie, and Nolan. Each are sitting with the parent that they seem to gravitate to the most: Nixon with her little hands trying to wipe the tears from Kayla’s face, Natalie in my arms and giving me hugs and kisses to try to comfort me, and Nolan sitting stoically in Brandon’s arms though he has his hands wraps around his father’s fingers. No, our pups don’t know what has happened, but they know that something is wrong. Nathan stands on Kayla’s othe

    I immediately know when Lucifer has been slain. We all do. There’s a power in the air that just dissipates. It’s there one second and then it’s gone. And then the enemy either surrender or run away, dropping their weapons as they go. Oh, there are a few die hard proponents of what Lucifer was trying to do, but they don’t last long. They are quickly overrun by fae, witches, wolves, shifters, supernaturals, or angels. Within an hour of Lucifer’s death, all of the fighting is done and the medics have flooded the field. Gods and goddesses either heal right there on the field or teleport those that need immediate medical attention to the surgery tents. Arya and I quickly turn to the Elite and pups’ mates, and our friends. “Summer! Jared!” Arya says, looking up from healing a nasty bite to Tomas’s leg that is already showing signs of infection. “Here!” Summer shouts out in a pained voice. I turn to see

  • Mother, May I   Chapter 96 - Nathan

    All three of us see the Morning star leaving the palace and stepping onto the field with the angels and we know that time is running out. We have to hurry and get to Nyx and sever her bond with Lucifer so that he is weak enough for them to kill him. No one else seems to be guarding the castle, at lest not on our side. I can see that demons and gods are getting into ranks and preparing to get onto the battlefield. The problem is, they’re too slow. The angels are already hear. They have breached the walls that surround the castle, their armor and very skin gleaming, their swords and battle axe’s, and spears coated in the multiple colors of blood that each of these evil beings possess. “We need to get inside while they’re all occupied,” Rowen says as we run towards the gates. “And before anyone comes in as reinforcements.” “Anyone see how to get the gates open?” Alexander says, his eyes rapidly taking in the structure in front of us.

  • Mother, May I   Chapter 95 - Jacob

    The second that we make our way through the gate into the Underworld, we’re all ready to start fighting. I mean, that’s the logical thing to do, right? Problem is, we seem to have gone into a gate where there are minimal guards. Like, this gate seems to have been forgotten completely. There's two there and they were taken out by the blast that opened the gate. Either we got really fucking lucky. Or we’ve walked into a trap. Angels pour into the hole behind us, creating a perimeter to keep us safe from behind. No, they won’t be able to stop Lucifer, but they are cannon fodder that will slow him down. Yeah, that sounds really fucking shitty to say it like that, but they knew the score when they were assigned to the role. It is what it is. From the gate, I can see Hades’s palace, where Lucifer and his new queen, Nyx, have been staying since they were kicked out of Valhalla. We’re coming in about five miles to the south and three miles above the palace. The gate is in

    It is killing me to wait here with the gods while my mates are all in three different spots right now. I’m so agitated and distracted by this fact that my winged shoes are making me float about a foot off of the ground. Josefina is with her parents, fighting near the front lines. What I hate is that she doesn’t have any powers to fight with. She’s just got her strength and skills as a warrior and a wolf. Thank fuck that the wolves take fighting seriously, so she has a ton of skill. But that only helps me feel just a little bit of relief. She is definitely the mate that I’m most worried about. But then there’s Alexander. He and his twin are escorting Nathan to get to Nyx so that he can kill her and the child in her stomach. Hecate had told us that Nyx is in labor starting this morning. So they have to get to her quickly. Of course, that means finding the right time to get past the enemy army ahead of the rest of our allies and then fight whoever Lucifer has guarding the

    The contractions had been happening off and on for the past two days. “Braxton-Hicks,” Persephone assured me. “It’s just your body’s way of getting ready for birth. It can happen for a long time before you actually go into labor. I really wouldn’t worry about it if I were you.” But I knew better. I could feel this evil thing’s elation as it could feel me preparing for birth. It had been tossing and turning in my stomach, moving into position for birth. So when I woke in the wee hours of the morning today, feeling strong achy bands of pressure all around my stomach. I let out a wheezy, breathy screams as the feeling took my breath away. I had been laying on my left side, my head pillowed on Lucifer’s arm, his other arm keeping me pulled into him. When I had woken in pain, it woke him up as well. “What’s wrong? What’s happening?” Lucifer asks, his eyes are wide, but his voice is laced with aggression and protectiveness. He had moved over top of me, caging me against t

    The screeching sound that comes from above us sounds like a combination between the howl of a wolf, the cry of some kind of bird of prey, and a woman’s scream. We look up and there are seven of these…things. They have the body of a woman, looking heavily pregnant and near giving birth, talons for feet and wings like a giant eagle, and the head of an enormous rabid jackal. But the belly is actually full of the babies and men that they’ve eaten. They are wearing what looks like a skull bikini, a skull covering each breast and her vulva. It’s fucking weird and looks very uncomfortable. In their hands, each carries one knife made of fire and another made of ice. The Lamashtu. The seven aspects of the Mesapotamian Goddess of evil. Think Hecate, but in seven different bodies instead of sharing the same body. And when I say that she was evil, I mean EVIL. Evil just for evil’s sake. One of the few goddesses in all of the various pantheons who didn’t have a reason to be evil. S
