Charlie POV.Seeing the angel fly towards us, snatching a screaming Aberdone up and rocketing into the sky. I stand looking up, trying to see through the clouds.Everyone watching in anticipation, when we all see Aberdone falling at speed just before he hits the ground, white wings rip out of his shoulder blades and he hovers.With almighty scream no, battle cry. Rosa flying down. Aberdone flies up to her at speed and they both clash in the sky. Pulled out of the spectacle above our heads, the war on the ground resumes.Fighting the fae doesn’t feel as exhilarating as I thought it would. With each fae life, we are taking the looks on their faces when they realise they are dying is soul shattering, like they are under some sort of spell.I look at Asteria as she takes down six fae with her trident. I look for the others and they are noticing the same thing. When I get an idea.“Don’t kill them. They are under a spell. Knock them out.” I shout, and Asteria looks at me and nods her head.
Rosa POV.It has been a few days since I killed Aberdone with Jadara and Cece. And here we are back at the Waning mountains. We have been cleaning up the devastation after what Aberdone and Cora did. But we are getting there.Asteria has helped with her magic. As for Gaia and the rest of them, I haven’t seen them. For the time being, I think that would be for the best. I am not being selfish because I will always be grateful for what they did for me. But Alpha Nicholas was right, I am not their blood.“Rosy.” I look down from what I’m doing to see my new little friend Matilda standing next to me with her dolly.“Hey, sweetie-pie. What’s up?” I ask her as I lift her in my arms and she snuggles her head on my shoulder.“Can I play with Cece today?” she asks and I hear Cece yip in my head.“Once I have finished doing this, then yes. Oh, look, there’s your dad.” I say, pointing to Bogo and he waves at us and Matilda wiggles to get put down and, like that, she runs off to her dad.“She wil
Rosa POV.“They can’t lock you in Purgatory. You have redeemed yourself when they sent you back …”“No, they set me up. They knew my nature, and they exploited it by using my pain to fulfil their demands.” Why can’t anything be simple?“Then we find a way. You are not controlled by them Jadara, hell even I couldn’t control you.” I say with a chuckle, and she just glares at me.“That’s the point I can’t be controlled. But they used me regardless. I don’t know what to do. What can I do? I can’t go to them and they sure as hell can’t come here. If they do then, I’m fucked for a better word.” She says like all is lost, but it isn’t.“You say you can’t be controlled, then take back your control from them. Rub it in their faces. You haven’t killed anyone in a while …”“You saying I should give into my nature?”“No, that’s not what I’m saying. Look at it this way: you haven’t killed anyone recently who has tainted their bond. So you are taking control. If anything, that will piss them off mo
Rosa POV.I can’t believe this. Zeus wanted her. No, me, us dead! Why?“Why now?” I ask nothing making sense to me at all. I have never done anything to them. I was a good pup growing up, even after what happened to my parents. Even when Gaia took me in. I have never warranted this kind of pain.“What did I do to deserve any of this? Tell me Hades, what did I do?” I feel like I’m going to break down, but I won’t. I can’t.“It was never meant to get this far. You were supposed to die in the attack when you were a pup. Until Odessa intervened and took you to the orphanage. She is also responsible for guiding you and Gaia to each other. I’m sorry, Rosa, this isn’t personal.” He mumbles, looking guilty.“Not personal? Are you fucking kidding me? Not personal. Your brother wanted to kill an innocent pup! What for? Because I was part oracle? I hope the heavens fall.” I say as I step back, feeling my knees knock as I stagger back. Charlie reaches for me, but I hold my hand up and he stops, t
Rosa POV.My back hits something soft, as Charlie kisses me deeper and with urgency. He knows. He knows what I have to do.“You’re so beautiful Rosa. I am lucky to have you as my mate,” he says as he kisses my neck. His hands work to remove my clothes and I do the same with him. He looks at me. The love and sadness in his eyes makes my eyes fill with tears.He leans over me and kisses my tears away. His hands move down my body to my pussy as he plunges his fingers inside of me. But he isn’t being rough, he is taking his time. Savouring how I feel, my taste and scent. He devours me slowly.“I love you. Never forget that.” He says as he kisses down my body as his fingers move in and out of me. I moan as his mouth latches onto my throbbing clit. He moves slowly and I feel the urge to tell him to move faster, but I don’t I know he needs this just like I do.“More, Charlie. Please.” I pant and moan as my stomach tightens. He removes his fingers and mouth.“I want you coming on my cock. I w
Charlie POV.Waking to the bed cold and empty, my heart breaks. The look in her eyes last night told me she was leaving. I knew if I tried to stop her, she would fight me. I had to let her leave, but it didn’t make it any easier. I reach for her pillow and hug it to my chest, breathing in her scent.“Come home to me, Rosa. I will wait for you.” I say to myself as I try to feel her through the bond, but it’s empty. Like she was never been there in the first place.I climb out of bed and look around the room. Everything is the same as it was last night. Only a few of her things are missing. I will find her. I enter the bathroom and into the shower. I lean my head against the shower wall as the water cascades down my body. Why did this have to happen?A sob escapes me when I scream and punch the tiles. I keep punching until my knuckles are bloody and I collapse onto the shower floor. I sob on to my knees. When I feel someone has entered the house. I shoot up and turn the shower off. Reac
Charlie POV.Kronos, the titan. The father of the three-main gods. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. The destroyer of worlds. I look at him, my mouth open, and Gaia giggles. Fucking giggles like I’m not sitting opposite the one man who can kill the Gods.“Surprise!” I look at Gaia and she smiles at me like the bomb that was just dropped wouldn’t annihilate everything.“Kronos? As is the real Kronos?” I ask in disbelief, and he rolls his eyes with a groan.“Yes, the real Kronos. Now we have the introduction out of the way. Why are you both here?” he asks, moving back to address Gaia.“Well, we need your help. Plus, I missed your grumpy ass.” Gaia speaks with such familiarity, not that she is talking to the one man, God, Titan, then can destroy the world if he was released.“Let me guess, my sons have done something that requires me coming out of retirement?” he scoffs like this is nothing new for him. That his son’s causing trouble seems like he is used to this.“Not out of retirement, but ye
Rosa POV.It has been four months since we started this. I have lost count of the lives we have taken. Do I feel guilty? No, if I was to be asked this in the beginning, the answer would be different. But now? No, I don’t.We have moved from small towns to the cities. We move at night and kill those who have betrayed their mates and partners. Like the people in front of me. They have no idea we are here watching them.We have unlocked certain gifts. Watching from the shadows. Currently watching as a man, an Alpha is cheating on his fated mate with her mother and her best friend. This is what makes this easier.I don’t look away as I watch him plough into his mate’s mother as he sucks on the nipple of her best friend. The moans begin to get louder and his thrusts become harsher and sloppy. I scoff, knowing he is nearly finished.I chuckle loudly as I step out of the shadow that was against the wall. We have learnt to move through things like a ghost.“Bravo.” I say, clapping my hands sl
