“Mom, seriously? We can do this together. Or I could get Jaiden or Nora to help me. I doesn’t have to be Nathan. He’s already got enough going on,” I plead with my mother. You would think that at 20, nearly 21, I would be able to stand up for myself without resorting to whining. But when Bella Martin has it in her head that she’s gonna do something, there’s very little that will change it. Including her daughter’s anxiety disorder. “Frey, Nathan is the most powerful witch/wolf combination in existence. He also has powers that are very similar to yours. And it’s not like you don’t know each other. You basically grew up together. By the Maiden’s blood, he’s changed your diaper. You’re basically siblings,” Mom says, arranging the food in the cooler for me to take with me. I groan, not only because I question my mother’s wisdom in letting a seven year old change an infant’s diaper, but also because she has to remind me that Nathan was the one that did it. If it isn’t comple
Mother, May I Chapter 8 - Hermes
Nyx has been awake for two days. Her eyes glow every time that she speaks with a dark fire. Her aura is stifling, worse than my father’s and he’s one of the most powerful gods on earth. It’s mostly because she’s not used to her power and she hasn’t been able to calm it down in the presence of others yet. She’s started several hellfires in Hades’s castle, much to his and Persephone’s chagrin and Lucifer’s delight. “She’s even more powerful than I had dreamed,” he’s said several times, an obvious sense of awe in his voice. And any time that Lucifer touches her, because she refuses to touch him voluntarily, her power is magnified. It’s evidence of their matebond. It’s also evidence of how much destruction the two of them could cause. And how powerful any child of theirs could be. It’s fucking scary. And I realize that any chance that I had of leaving the Underworld without Lucifer’s blessing is gone. Because if he so much as touches Nyx, he could level a good portion of

“I just don’t understand why they are coming after us specifically. I mean, yeah, we’re powerful and shit, but in the end, we’re just mortals. Why not wage war against the gods?” Devin asks. “He knows that Nathan is here. That he’ll continue to come after Nyx unless Lucifer deals with him. Plus, coming after you will be a great distraction. The wolves and witches are highly favored by the gods now that you have not only traveled into Tartarus to set them free, but also gotten Valhalla back and defeated a goddess on your own. You guys have made some significant friends,” Hermes says. We’re all sitting in the large conference room that we hold our supernatural meetings in, preparing for an invasion that we had no idea was coming. Aubrey and Meredith are busily working to get as many of the supernatural community here as possible while Bella and JoJo work on getting in touch with Hecate and Selene. We’re going to need their help to come up with something to save our people. Ha
Mother, May I Chapter 10 - Nyx
*TRIGGER WARNING - This chapter is full of nonconsensual sex. Please read at your own discretion.* I have no idea what day it is. What time it might be. Hell, I don’t even know if it’s day or night. What the hell does it matter? It’s not like I’ll be able to get away from my “mate.” Even with my ever growing powers, he’s still more powerful than I am. He’s easily able to immobilize me and do whatever the hell he wants. And my fucking body betrays me every damn time. This bond is nothing like the bond with Nathan. With Nathan, he was all I could think about whenever he was around me. And even when he wasn’t there, I wanted him. I longed for him. I counted down the minutes until he came back. With Lucifer, my body responds. Every fucking time my body responds. But my mind doesn’t. I don’t want him anywhere near me. I don’t want him to touch me. The thought actually repulses me and I dread having him come back to the room whenever he’s around. Unfortunately, since
Mother, May I Chapter 11 - Hermes
FUCK! I hate this! I hate this! I hate all of it! I hate that I’m not going to be able to protect any of my mates during this battle. Alexander is going to be a part of this battle and I’m not anywhere near him during any of this. I tried to get him to stay away from the main part of the fight, but because of his position as a warrior within his pack and as Selene’s warrior he refused to listen. I understand that he has a duty to his goddess and his people, but I just found him. I can’t stand the idea of losing him already. Josephina and Jacob are going to be helping with anyone that gets injured and I made sure to let them know a good place to set up. One that the battle won’t be going near. It just kills me that I’m not there to help them. To protect them. But I have a part to play. I have to keep Lucifer’s army in a specific area, so everyone else can circle around them. Round them up and take them down. I hate that I could only mark one of my mates. We very qu
Mother, May I Chapter 12 - Ryder
“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
Mother, May I Chapter 13 - Nathan
“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

Mother, May I Epilogue - Lucifer
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.
Mother, May I Chapter 98 - Zak
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
Mother, May I Chapter 97 - Devin
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
Mother, May I Chapter 94 - Hermes
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
Mother, May I Chapter 93 - Nyx
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
Mother, May I Chapter 92 - Alexander
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
