Charlie POV.I walk behind Rosa as we enter the palace. I gulp as I look at the artwork and tapestries that line the walls. I will say this: Fenrir and Gaia have an eye for the arts.Considering this is Hell, I was expecting pictures of battles and gore. But I was wrong. The pictures are of the family. There is one that catches my attention. I walk towards it and smile.It was taken the day Gaia held a meet and greet for the kids of the orphanage at Dark Moon. I look at the kids in the picture and right there at the front are me and Rosa, with big toothy smiles on our faces. I feel her as she moves closer to me.“That day was so fun.” I tell her, and she chuckles.“Yeah, it was, but it was also sad.” She says and I wrap my arm around her waist and bring her closer to me. She rests her head on my shoulder, we just stare at all the smiling faces of the kids.“I wonder where they all are now?” I say, and she moves away.“I don’t know. I think mom has their files in the safe. We could try
Rosa POV.A chance at redemption. I turn and look at Merrick, and he looks down at the floor. Oh gods, that is why he wants to talk to Jadara.“I’m not ready to forgive him, Rosa. Please understand.” She whispers and I can feel the sadness roll off of her. I nod my head at her words as I turn and face Bellious, whose black eyes look at Merrick.They flicker back to me, and he offers me a sad smile.“You need to open the gate, you command them. You will need them to win this war against the fae king.” He tells me and I nod my head. I take a breath and sigh loudly as I move closer to the gate. Ok I can do this. But how?“How do I open the Gate Bellious?” I ask and he walks to me and smiles at me.“That I can’t tell you. You will figure it out. I only assist when necessary. It is my job to keep the Gate shut.” He says and I groan.“But you can open it, so tell me how?” I fold my arms over my chest and raise an eyebrow.“Naturally I would, but I can not. You have to figure it out.” He say
Rosa POV.Walking through the halls of the prison with the horde of monsters behind me. I stop at a door and turn to look at it, before shaking my head and I carry on moving forward. I know who is behind that door, but I have no right to go and see her.Fate, the sister of Karma and Odessa. My pops and mom tortured her personally for years. Nearly thirty mortal years she has been here, but thirty mortal years is an eternity as time moves differently here. A day here is the same as six months to the surface. Or something like that. I never truly understood the premise of time.We leave the prison and walk towards the palace. The vibrations from the footfalls pounds the red dirt as we enter the palace.I don’t stop, we just keep moving forward. Everyone is silent as I try to think of a plan. I need to meet mom who said she would meet me here, and she hasn’t. So much for her being the Goddess of Hell, she is never here.The palace front doors open and we leave. The demons stop what they
Rosa POV.We have found an abandoned pack in a clearing in neutral territory. We have settled there for a few weeks to regroup.My family, no, not my family. They didn’t follow, but the word is that the Dark Moon has vowed to destroy me and my army for me being a traitor by killing a future Luna and Beta. I chuckled when I heard that little rumour. They could try.More and more species and creatures have joined my ranks. We are growing stronger every day.Charlie left five days ago to find Asteria and so we are patiently waiting for him to return. He better get back soon, though.“Don’t worry, he will be fine, Rosa, and so will you be. Come on, we need to go on a rummage.” Angel says, and I know she is right. My heat hit me three days ago and so far it is being held off with the help of magic and potions.I stand and feel dizzy, but I steady myself as I walk into the forest in the search of the ingredients I need to keep it at bay for another day. I walk before I stagger and clutch a
Charlie POV.Asteria is with us. She has already assembled the sirens, and they are on their way to where the camp is. But I wasn’t expecting to come back and find Rosa in heat. When she tackled me to the floor with that feral look in her eyes, I knew I was going to have to hold on tight as the primal heat roared in her.Sirens breed differently to others. But Rosa is not just a wolf, she is a tribrid. She has a small amount of a siren in her thanks to Jadara. But it’s not the siren part or the wolf I am worried about. It is the Angel as a whole.I have only ever had sex with one other, and that was Lyra. Rosa is a virgin and if circumstances were different, I wouldn’t be doing this on the forest floor.I’m pulled out of my thoughts with her sinful tongue licking from my chest to my throat. Her hands grabbing my ass, pulling me closer to her.I need to take control, but I know she will be stronger at this moment.She rolls us her hand to my throat as she pins me to the floor. Her claw
Rosa POV.Fuck, my eyes widen and my breath catches as he slams into me and I whimper before I moan. Charlie holds still, his arms shake as he throws his head back, closing his eyes with a guttural moan of his own.He looks down at me and kisses me slowly. “Breathe.” He says against my lips and I breathe slowly. I wiggle my hips as my walls clench around him.“Move, please.” I say, and he moves slowly out of me and back in. I grip around his neck, my breathing coming out in pants with each movement. My hips move to match him. Moving in sync with each other. I bite his shoulder, but not hard enough to break the skin.My claws rake down his back to his ass and I grip him, pulling him harder into me. I moan, my back arching into him. I lick his chest as he moves back and reaches for my clit and rubs it in circles.“So beautiful, so fucking tight.” He says as he increases his pace and I thrash under him. The feeling builds in the pit of my stomach as I climb that high. I need the release.
Rosa POV.I storm through the pack in search of two people. Jadara and Asteria. The voice that entered my head was none other than Aberdone. Which means he is either close or has increased his power to enter my head.“Jadara, where are you?” I say as I walk through. Each wolf and creature, watching me as the feeling of panic starts to make itself known in my belly.“Merrick, have you seen Jadara?” I ask him as he sits by the fire with a few other wolves and he looks at me like I’m talking in a different language.“I thought she was with you?” my eyes slightly widen and my throat goes dry. I shake my head. I turn and look for Casta because he last saw her.“Casta, have you seen Jadara?” I ask him the closer I get to him and he looks at me the same way. Is it so difficult to find her? She is tall, white blonde, has white eyes and has the look of murder on her perfect face.“Last I saw her was when we left you and Charlie, to you know …”“Fuck!”“Yes, exactly.” I look at him and his chuc
Charlie POV.“What the fuck was that, man?” Brody shoves me in the chest, and I growl at him when Casta steps between us. He has a hand on my chest and Brody’s.“This will not help us. The oracle has been taken. Without her, the Angel will take over and consume power like it’s her favourite drink. We need to move now. We have to stop Aberdone before he gets his hands on Rosa. If he does, then we are all fucked!” he says, shoving us both back.“The darts should have knocked her out.” I mumble, feeling like shit, but I couldn’t allow her to run into an ambush and I failed. She is going to get herself killed. If Rosa can’t control the Angel when this is over, she will be put to death.“How did Rosalie control the Angel in the first place?” I think aloud when Asteria sighs and comes forward.“She didn’t. She let her out. Rosalie was the anchor to the Angel. She was a pure blooded fae. Rosa isn’t. The Angel needs another fae to be the anchor. She chose Jadara. Rosalie let her take control
