I stayed with Alex the whole plane ride. As soon as I marked him, he flipped me over and started licking my pussy until my bones felt like jelly and my throat was hoarse. And then he pushed himself inside of me and place my mark on her neck, right below the mark that Jacob placed. We had sex so many times that I passed out. It was amazing. When we were done, both of us fell asleep. When we woke as the plane landed. And Jacob was in bed with us, curled against my back. “I’m sorry for being such a pain in the ass,” he says against my hair. “It isn’t me that you have to apologize to,” I tell him. He sighs. “I know. He’s just so fucking arrogant.” He flops on his back, throwing his arm over his eyes. “But he’s not,” Alexander says. “He just thought that we were a sure thing. It made him a little cocky. But you have to have seen how sorry he was about it. How miserable he is. How miserable JoJo and I are. Hell, you’re fucking miserable as well. You two got off o
I had been getting ready to get on the plane to go back to the states with my family when I get the mindlink from JoJo. He severed them! She’s screaming in my head. JoJo? I don’t realize that I’ve said it aloud at the same time that I mindlinked her until my mate, my parents, and Hakeem, Meredith, and Gael stop and look at me. “What’s going on? What’s wrong with JoJo?” Meredith is next to me, her hand holding mine. I shake my head as I listen to her. She’s distraught, crying and screaming in my mind. He severed the bonds. All of our matebonds, he just took them away because he was pissed that I wouldn’t let him mark me. A cold chill goes through me and I can’t stop the look on my face. Everyone sees how petrified I am. “What is it, mi amore (my love)?” Esteban asks me. “Hermes. He severed the matebonds between Alexander, Jacob, and JoJo,” I whisper. I hear the outrage around me, the despair and despondency inside my head. It’s almost too much. Through the mindlink,
***TRIGGER WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS NONCONSENUAL SEXUAL ACTS, UP TO AND INCLUDING RAPE. PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!!*** It feels like I’ve been here for weeks, months, possibly even close to a year. I don’t do anything unless I’m forced to do it: eat, speak, bathe, dress. And every time that it happens, the only person who can force me is Lucifer. Because the sadistic fuck has allowed me free movement and access to my powers. He’s allowed me to be able to hurt his minions, but his power is too much for me to hurt him. Even with the crazy increases that I’ve felt in my powers since I’ve been here. I’ve noticed that even the smallest magicks now hold immense power. I barely had to think that I wish the red cap that brought me food would shut up when its mouth completely disappeared from its face. It hadn’t returned until Lucifer appeared to coax me through giving it back. He easily could have done it. But he told me I needed to learn how to fix my mistakes,
I can’t keep my mind off of Nyx. How scared she must be. How hopeless she must feel. What he’s doing to her. What might happen if I can’t find her. How I failed her. I’m staring at the woods, in the direction of the gates of Valhalla when Dad claps me on the shoulder. I turn towards him, thankful that I had smelled him beforehand. My father knows how to sneak up on someone. He’s quiet and stealthy all the damn time. Leftovers from the war and fighting the Riding Hoods. “Hey, son. How ya holding up?” he asks me. I rub a hand down my face. “Not so hot.” “I figured, but I had to ask. Are you ready to work with these European wolves?” Dad asks me. “I’m ready to do anything that’s going to help Nyx. I don’t care what I have to do. I’d go into the depths of Tartarus myself if I could,” I tell him. “I know, pup. I know,” he says and he pulls me into his arms, holding me while I shake, trying to keep in the sobs that are threatening to spill out. “We’ll do everything tha
It’s been two hours since Nathan went to the Astral Plane. Bella stopped in to check on them after he had been there for an hour, but found the couple talking to each other in low voices and snuggling on a couch. She elected to allow Nathan to stay there for another hour. He and Bella are emerging from his tent right now. “How is she?” I ask my best friend when he gets close. It’s easy to see that he’s been crying, but just as easy to see that spending that time with his mate has helped him a lot. I want to give him a hug, but Nathan doesn’t always welcome that kind of affection when he’s this upset. “She’s hanging in as best as she can. I think that seeing someone other than her tormentors was really helpful,” he tells me. “Bro, it’s got nothing to do with seeing ‘someone’ and everything to do with seeing you,” I tell him, clapping him on the shoulder and squeezing. He actually blushes a bit, a small smile crawling over his face. “She told me that she loves me.” At t
Within seconds, wolves and gods are teleporting into the camp. The fae and other supernaturals have also contacted their rulers and we have portals opening up all over the place. The only ones that don’t show up are JoJo, Alexander, Chris, and Jacob. Hecate still hasn’t come back from bitching out Hermes, so they can’t teleport to us. “Alright everyone, circle up! We’ve got to come up with a plan NOW. What information do we have?” Mom says. Her goddess gift of strategy is really going to come in handy here. One of the Valkyries that Gondul sent comes back, streaking through the sky and directly to her leader. “Mist!” Gondul calls when she is about 20 feet away. “Where is Hrist?” “Keeping watch. The demons are pouring out of the gates. Fenrir is with them. Looks like he is leading them with a god that we do not know,” the Valkyrie, Mist, responds. “Fenrir?” Summer asks. “You mean the Norse werewolf?” Gondul’s face turns to look at us, her expression impassive. “Yes.
I have just finished slicing through two demons when I see the giant wolf enter the field. That has to be Fenrir, the evil werewolf son of Loki. Yeah, I know my mythology. Chris went through a phase where she wanted to know everything about all the mythologies in the world. And at that point, Zak and I had already decided that he was on math and science duty, while I was on history, cultural studies, and English. Can’t beat a master bullshitter. I know exactly who he is and what he’s capable of. So when I see him heading towards Bella and Citra, I start to run across the field. Through our pack mindlink, I yell Get to Bella and Citra! I feel all the wolves look towards them, but Fenrir landed less than 20 yards from them. It would just take a few of his massive steps to make it to their side. I see Gregory and Jamal fighting their way towards Bella, Michael to Citra, but there’s no way that they’re going to be able to make it in time. But Gregory puts on a huge burst
I rush over to Bella and Jamal who have fallen to the ground sobbing. Mom looks split between going to Michael and going to Bella and Jamal. Michael was in her original pack, but Bella and Jamal have been a necessary part of our family because of my being a hybrid. They are both like family to us, though I’m definitely much closer to Bella and Jamal. As the witches seem to be gathering around us, Mom and Dad run to Michael’s side. Hawk and Jareth follow them. They are sobbing. Wordless, agony filled cries falling from their mouths, They cling to each other, not seeming to sense any of us around them. I can’t even imagine the pain that they are going through. It has to be awful. I don’t even want to know what I would do if Nyx…I can’t even think about it. The fact that I can’t even see her is killing me. And we’re not even mated. We’ve barely known each other for a few months. How awful must it be for them to have lived together for more than 20 years. To have child
