I woke up and scrambled back against the headboard frightened of the angry woman that looked like the God I killed standing over me. The moon Goddess was also there holding onto the woman's arm. "Where is my husband?" I questioned sourly, realizing I was alone in bed. The moon Goddess glared at the angry woman."Artemis sent him somewhere so she could get to you easier," she spat and I furrowed my brow."Bring my mate back or I'll gut you like I did your creepy brother," I growled threateningly and the woman huffed and shook her head no. I looked frantically at the moon Goddess and she raised her hand indicating for me to calm down. I pulled the covers up my nude body and Artemis frowned. She grabbed my arm with the brand on it and yanked me closer to see it."713, you are a demigoddess that was once a branded pack house slave, and you are scarred horrendously. How can any man even lay next to you or look at you and find you attractive? You're hideous," she spat. I yanked my arm away
I sat there and watched the vampire God Kian walk slowly toward my child with his eyes glowing and studying her carefully. Amelia was breathing unsteadily and her rapidly beating heart could be seen pounding under the Targon she wore. Kian came to stand before her where she sat. I watched his eyes narrow as he kneeled before her. His thin fingers brushed the bit of blood that was at the edge of Amelia's full lips. He brought the finger up to his lips, tasted the red substance, and smiled stunningly. "Hello precious, aren't you a charming and beautiful hybrid," he purred and Amelia blushed prettily."I am Amelia, your um, sir," she muttered softly and the vampire God inhaled deeply and made an odd soft erotic groan that caused Amelia to cross her legs. The intimate moment was interrupted by Damon and Devin coming into the room. Both of them stopped and furrowed their brows at the scene of Kian on his knees before Amelia. The vampire God glanced over at the two scowling vampires and st
Auberon growled within my mind that the vampire God had lied to the moon Goddess. I shifted into my Lycan as Violet and Amelia came to my side. I glanced down at my crotch and was relieved to see my dick covered by a loincloth. Kian wasn't even paying attention to us huddled together until Amelia shifted into her black Lycan. His blue eyes landed on her and he chuckled."Honestly sweetheart, I adore the color black and you are a stunning Lycan. I would enjoy running my fingers through your thick pelt. Our babies will be magnificent," he said assuredly."What is his deal?" Amelia growled and I twirled my finger around the side of my head."He got all the looks and no brains," I said in a mocking voice, making her chuckle."Laugh all you want fools but I will take your daughter and make her all mine," he growled roughly. He tried to use compulsion on her. I could tell by his stern concentration and pulsating eyes. Amelia furrowed her brow and looked at Kian directly without any emotion.
I ran through the halls yelling out for Selene and feeling like my heart was getting ripped from my chest."Return to your children and your mate, Forest. The moon Goddess will come when she can," Auberon growled roughly in my head. I stopped and turned, slowly walking back to the room where my wife lay. When I opened the door the brownies looked up at me. One was standing on a chair and washing Violet's bloody skin."That vampire is speaking with your almost adult offspring and told them their names," Heidi told me with a frown. I nodded and asked her why our children grew so quickly."It only happens to those not born here in this realm. The local children grow at a somewhat normal pace," she explained and I sighed. Heading toward Violet, I sat next to her and ran my fingers through her hair."Come back to me Violet, you are the only person to see past my faults and love me still…I cannot survive without you by my side," I mumbled through the tears that fell from my eyes. I buried m
We appeared in Damon's bedroom and my daughter was gone. I could smell her and another foul odor of decay."What is that awful smell?" I questioned sourly and Damon shifted into his vampire and growled."The catacombs and the stench of a vampire God. Kian took my woman," he snarled. "Give me your clawed hand and I'll see if I can transport ourselves to where he is," I grunted, shifting to my Lycan, shredding the clothes I wore. We appeared on a dark, damp, cobblestone street. A light mist was coming from the cloudy night sky. I glanced around wondering where we were."Welcome to the vampire realm. The catacombs are below us," Damon said sourly. "This looks like the human world," I mumbled and Damon said it's the same only not. Vampires rule here and your kind gets slaughtered quickly so I'm concerned about Zuri," he said softly. I told him the Elders would be angered if they went against the moon Goddess's new rules and Damon rolled his eyes and told me probably not. I suggested tha
I had been waiting for Damon to return to me with my children and he was taking forever. I scooted off the bed and stretched my lower back. Thanks to Damon's blood I was almost fully recovered. I glanced down at my abdomen and grimaced at yet more scars marking my body. My body was covered with them and it made me feel so ugly. I noticed a robe hanging on the corner and slipped it on. Determined to meet my children I exited the room I was in and glanced down the hall. I assumed that it would lead me to the others if my nose was correct. I strolled down the barren hall and heard footfalls from behind. Turning quickly, the last person I expected was that asshole Kian. He had attempted to grab me and I jumped back so he grabbed the air."What do you think you are doing, Kian?" I asked bluntly and he tilted his head and smirked."Oh, I can see where your daughter got her attitude from," he growled roughly and I eyed him incredulously."I have yet to meet her but you have?" I questioned so
I watched Damon open the gate, the mausoleum door, and step inside. Grayson said," ladies first." I glanced over at Mabel and both of us held each other's hands as we entered the dark space. "Looks like we need to go down," I mumbled sourly and I heard Damon yell up for us to go ahead and jump. Mabel shrugged and leaped. I glanced back at Grayson, Michael, and my son and told them I'd see them down below as I crossed my arms jumping into the hole. Damon caught both Mabel and me. We all were standing in a dark underground hall and my eyes were wide as I reached out for my husband's hand. I felt his exhale near my ear and grinned when he told me we would be fine. I looked up at his glowing eyes and felt safe with him."I love you," I said softly and he smiled."I love you too, Violet," he replied sincerely and squeezed my hand."Come along, I'd like to be able to coddle my mate too," Damon mumbled annoyingly and I chuckled as I pulled my husband after the vampire. I frowned at the carv
"The full moon festival is in two days and there is much to get done. I have three sections that need Alphas assigned to in the Realm and have been going over prospects with Devin, the only member of my council present. He's a vampire and not very helpful with wolf matters," Selene growled as she pinched the bridge of her nose."Damon and my daughter are planning their wedding during the full moon. I would like to inform them that it is only two days away," I mumbled softly and she glared at me."Damon is a vampire and knows when the full moon is happening. Amelia is aware as well. There is no need for you to inform him or her," she growled. I exhaled deeply because her demeanor was pissing me off."What has crawled up your ass, Goddess?" I questioned bluntly and watched a slight lift of the corner of her mouth. "My lover has been executed. I'm just a horny old bitch, if you must know," she replied and I gasped."Kian was your bedmate?" I said in disbelief. Selene rubbed her eyes and
