So many different moving parts. How will it all come together?
I wake up with the scents of astringent, sweat, and blood in my nose. I have to squint against the sunlight that seems to be coming through a tent flap, raising one of my hands to shade my eyes until they get used to the light. But when I move my hand, I feel the pull of an IV in my arm. It’s then that I register two things: a faint beeping in the background, presumably to the monitor that’s hooked to the electrodes that I’m now feeling all over my body, and the exquisite scent of peppermint and vanilla. I know immediately who it is. Jacob. But something about his scent is…different. More aggressive. Pulling me towards him even more than before. I can’t help but smile when I see him, even though I haven’t smiled at him in his human form since we found out that we were mated. I look over and see him in a chair against the fabric of the tent. He’s slumped down in the seat, arms crossed, and his chin to his chest. It’s easy to tell that he’s asleep, but the second that I st
I’m on the phone with Jai, having turned it on speaker phone so that Kaia can hear the call as well. “He’s made it out of surgery fine. The blade didn’t go all the way through, though it did knick some of his large intestine. They had to sew that up and he’s on some heavy duty antibiotics because of all of the bacteria and shit in the intestines. Maan (Bhakti) said the thing that likely saved him was him getting his Goddess gift in the middle of the fight,” Jai tells us. “His super strength helped? How does she figure?” Kaia asks. We’re both a little bit fascinated that Tomas got his Goddess gift. Neither of us have gotten ours yet. Hell, Nathan hadn’t gotten his yet and he’s the oldest of all of us in our birthing group. Maybe now that I’m mated to Tomas, I’ll get mine too. “She said that it made his body harder to harm. It wasn’t only his muscles that strengthened, but his entire body. It was hard to get the needle and thread through his skin and organs, so he’s g
***TRIGGER WARNING - Non-consensual touching. Read at your own discretion***I had started to eat the food that was given to me by the two furies, but after a handful of bites, I detected a building aftertaste. I tried to wash it down with the water that they gave me and immediately realized that everything that was given to me was drugged. I immediately threw it across the room. I wanted to run to the bathroom to try and vomit it up, but my shackles didn’t reach that far. Instead, I leaned over the side of the bed and tried to vomit everything up there. Didn’t matter. I soon began to loose consciousness, falling to the floor, only missing the puddle of vmit by inches due to the shackles still on my wrists. As my vision starts to go black, the two furies walk back into the room. “Ack! Really, human? You had to get sick?” Magaera says the second she sees the vomit beneath me. “She is our queen, Magaera! Show some respect!” Alecto says, coming to put me back on the bed.
The plane ride to Norway is excruciatingly long. While we are in flight, we receive a call from Jai. “He’s awake,” Jai says the second that we answer. I feel like I let out a breath that I didn’t know that I’ve been holding since I found out that Tomas was hurt. Zoe and I are both in tears, relief flowing from our bodies as we hold each other. “Oh, thank the Goddess!” Zoe cries out. “Can we talk to him?” I basically beg. “Maan is checking him over personally, right now. But Lily is here, she can update you on everything that we know right now,” Jai says. “Mẹ?” I ask once my mother comes on the phone. “Mẹ, is he ok? Please tell me that he’s ok!” “He’s ok. Everything is taking a bit longer to heal. We believe that’s because it’s a god that hurt him. His werewolf healing slowed down to human healing, but it’s starting to pick up. I’ve been checking on him personally every half hour and would say that his healing is at about half strength right now.” Mẹ’s voice
The second that Kaia’s fangs sink into my skin, I orgasm into their hands, cum coating their fingers. “Kaia!” I cry out, a full-throated scream leaving my throat. The second that she licks the wound, sending more shuttering sensations throughout my body, I feel all of my wounds heal, along with another part of the matebond clicking into place. I’m breathing heavily, eyes rolling back to the front of my head when I see both of my mates lift their hands up covered in my release. Zoe pushes her fingers into Kaia’s mouth, making her suck my cum from her fingers. Kaia returns the favor to Zoe and I’m already hard as fuck, AGAIN. I fist my hands in the front of both of their shirts and pull. I legitimately don’t realize how much strength I have, thinking that my yanks will just rip the front of their shirts so that I have access to their tits. Instead, their entire shirts come off in my hands. Suddenly, the tent flap opens and Jai comes busting in. “Is everything ok? What was t
This bond between us is amazing. Feeling all of our emotions and sensations is going to take a bit of getting used to. Not in a bad way, just in a “Now I have two more people in my head than just the one extra one that was there from my bond with Kaia” type of way. At least I’m used to having that feeling from my matebond with Kaia. Poor Tomas has to get used to having both of us at the same time. We should make it easy for him. We should. Kaia sends me a wicked little smirk and I can’t help but send one right back to her. Slowly, we both move onto our knees. Tomas’s eyes are still closed, his breathing starting to even out. Won’t stay that way for long. I lean down and take his mouth with mine. He moans and starts to respond to the kiss immediately. “Fuck, you taste so GOOD!” His last word is spoken with a yelp as Kaia starts to suck his cock into her mouth. We’ve gotten pretty good at knowing how to hide some things from each other with the bond and with it b
“What’s next, O?” Pop asks Odysseus. He is really trying to make a nickname for Odysseus stick and the ancient Greek is really not here for it.“Odysseus,” the shade says, rolling his eyes at my father. “My name is Odysseus.”“I mean, after all the near death situations that we’ve been through and are going to go through, I think that we can have a nickname between us, Dyssy. You can even give me a nickname. Dev. Vin. Big D,” Pop says, bumping shoulders with Odysseus.“He does have a big one,” Ma says to Meredith. Rowen and I both cover our ears.“Ma!” Rowen says, “I don’t want to hear about that. I’m still scarred from the time that we went to a human hotel in Hawaii that wasn’t properly sound proofed.”Everyone around us bursts out laughing, including Summer and Jared. Everyone except Odysseus. He looks completely lost. “I’m afraid I don’t understand,” he says, perplexed.Looking pretty damn smug, Pop starts to say, “It means that I have a big - ““Shut up! Shut up! S
I watch as Alexander and Odysseus walk towards the centaur camp, out of the scant covering that we had found behind some rather large boulders. I’m pissed that the party obsessed, fun loving centaurs that Rick Riordan portrayed in the Percy Jackson series aren’t real. Granted, dude is just humans and has never met a true centaur. But I loved that series as a kid and I was just hoping that some of it was true. Jared gives me a small smile when he sees the slight pout cross my face and pulls me in for a side hug. His other hand is wrapped in Rowen’s. I reach across and place my hand on top of both of theirs. I know that this is hard for him. To watch his twin walk out to face these creatures on his own. I think that the only thing that is holding him back from going to help his brother is knowing that he must have the Goddess’s healing powers. Powers that are somehow even stronger than his parents’. He’ll be able to heal anything that happens to Alexander. Assuming that h
