The bunker where they stayed had running water but the food that was stocked there were roughly about eighty years old or so and Helena could not risk giving those food to Zac since she was not yet sure of how his system was coping up with the transition. He was a sore thumb for Helena, someone who sticks out and she was fond of the 'not normal' stuff. She was more curious now of his transformation than she was two days ago. She would like to think that this was a little act of rebellion directly towrads her mother, because nothing hurts more than the betrayal of family, right?Normally, when a human is infected, he will be under a lot of pain. Tremendous pain that will slowly disintegrate as time passes by. A full transformation will take about a month and the changes are slow, boring and nothing fun to observe. Unlike the purebreeds who have not had the pleasure of transistioning, she had been quite around a long time and have seen many transform.But Zac was an exception. His was a
When he saw Persephone on his mother’s assembly, the one thing that hit him like a log was the fact that he was not as close and intimate to her as she claims him to be. During their trysts, she would often pepper his ego with sweet little nothings and adoration. He was led to believe that he was special. It was no secret that the Goddess kept a string of lovers all over the globe but he was most certain that he was a step above the rest. It made him feel great and it made him think that he was her favorite.He was Maddox Mountbatten and he was a direct descendant, a pure blooded sin-eater.His lineage and pedigree could have given him that advantage to win the Queen of the sin-eater’s heart, if he had any. But she deliberately did not mention any plans which might have given him subtle clues of her plans. Maddox wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt, that maybe she just forgot to tell him because she was so engrossed in the pleasures that Maddox’s lithe body was giving him.Tha
She had lived a full life. Eight hundred and thirty six years old and still serving the look. Solandra enters the world famous The Bellagio casino in Vegas. She and the proprietor of MGM Grand go a long way back and most of the staff there know of her, having frequented the casino since its inception.For tonight, she was dazzling in a silver halter funky dress that left nothing to the imagination. For a woman her age, though they all knew that she was in her fifties, she was a stunner and her heels are to die for. She let her hair down for a change and was only carrying a small designer pouch.“Miss Mountbatten, it’s a pleasure to see you again.” The manager himself welcomed her at the entrance hall. “Oh. Look at you, Conrad.” She pauses and fixes the bow tie of the man. “ You still look dashing.”“Thank you , miss.” The man was blushing. Solandra had her way with the male populace. She can get all the attention of the males in the room without overdoing it. In fact, she can get al
Zachary flew to Bulgaria on an economy class fare. Although he could afford the first class, he thought that it would be better and economical to get the economy class instead. He was not even concerned that he had to ask politely the person seated next to him when he wanted to visit the urinal, he was inconveniently given the window seat. The seat was okay and the view of the endless cotton of clouds entertained him for a bit. He was asleep most of the time so, it did not really matter for Zac.Still in cloud nine and oversexed, he forgot to ask Helena how much he owes her for the airfare. The woman did not even bother to ask for his identification card or his full name, all of which were essential once you book a flight.“Um, how much do I owe you?” He asked, they were now nearing the airport in Sophia. Helena drives like a madman and he was in all honesty terrified and was holding for his dear life.“For?” “The airfare and also..” He reached for his back pocket, rummaged through h
He had not felt anything during the flight, he slept all through out and when he woke up, he saw that Helena was sound asleep too. She was even beautiful while calmly breathing. The gentle raise and fall of her ample chests, where he could not take his eyes off and think of how he sucked on those taut breasts. “Damn, you are one lucky guy.” He muttered to himself and gave hi self a gentle pat on his own left shoulder as if someone else did that to him to congratulate him for his fortune.Zac feasted on the sleeping beauty that was sleeping beside him, they were only separated by a low wall ,he could see her full lips that were missing their lipstick today. He does not need much of the cosmetic stuffs like his ex possessed. Helena is even prettier bare faced than any woman with a full set of make up. Her long hair was a mess but he was sure that she still looks her best even if she wears rugs. She looks best wearing nothing.“Hi, would you care for anything to drink sir?” A pretty Bu
At some point in our lives, through constant watching conspiracy videos on the internet---we think and believe that there is a glitch in the matrix. Others were firm in the idea that we live in a simulation. Zac was never fond of those nor did he entertain the idea. He was too busy making money in the firm. That was about to change, he rubbed his eyes countless times, washed it in the running water and did not cared about the towels in the rack, rewashed and slapped himself loudly.“Ow!”The image in front of him did not however, left him sane.It was him, the problem was he was ripped. He knew his body well and he did not definitely went to the gym in Bulgaria. Unless, f*cking Helena can make him ripped and toned , then he does not know what had happened to his fats. Zac was not on the heavy side, but he was not a gym rat too. Right now, he fearfully poked at the abs that was decorating what used to be a beer belly, his pecs were well formed and his biceps were phenomenal. Even his
The house of Hesse-Dermsadt had not yet recovered from the aftermath of a mass feeding. Until the next day, the staff had to manually hose down the whole hall because splatters of blood was everywhere and calling in a cleaning company was not a good call as of the moment. Many of the guests have returned to their lives, only a handful remained and they were the Persephone fanatics. Some sin-eaters do not want to waste their time participating in some wild goose hunt for the Goddess to bestow on them another gift. They were after all, all given one of different gift. Others like Harvey Stone, an arms dealer, knew that the word ‘contentment’ do not exist in his vocabulary. It was customary that the house remain open for those who had been invited by the mistress of the mansion to stay or leave until they please. That was a tradition that can never be overlooked or forgotten because Bulgarians are hospitable people and they take pride in it. A custom, which the cunning Harvey chose to a
“Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you are Harvey and you speak for this entourage?” Maddox threw the head and it went rolling to the side. “Y-yes, I-I am.” Harvey stuttered. “You know what.?” Maddox whispered to his ear, “my father had taught us to be respectful to the people who prepare your meals, besides. Though Julienne is indeed an old man, we treat him as family.”Harvey,seeing what had happened to his colleague , trembled in fear. They have heard about the son of the Duchess, but they figured that because he was always away and was rumored to prefer living the nomadic life in the dessert that he would care less and did not bother to check on the welfare of their house staff. The arms dealer was wrong.“I apologize.”“What do you have here?” He asked, not acknowledging the fact that the man had apologized. “We are, um, planning to work as a group to...erm...” One of the men answered.“The anomaly, yes, yes, right. I will make you a deal, shall we gentlemen?”Maddox caugh
A message from the author to my readers: Thank you. I was trying to figure my life when I was writing this story--with only one thing in my mind: Escaping from reality. This book holds a special place in my heart because I was not at the top of my game while patcing sentence after sentence, imaginging sequences and mending a broken heart. This had been my escape. My characters are all a part of me. Each were given a piece of me , so I can feel less burdened. i might not have written this perfectly or top notch, but I am sure that this is the best that I can offer while trying not to break down into pieces.I am a mother of two and I am messed up right now but the growing numbers of subscribers and readers gives me the push that I needed to type away, to put my thoughts into words. To hone the talent that I have (although I admit that I am a mediocre) and to pay it forward to the writers who have influenced me to write and to the friends who kept me going whenever I feel backing d
Helena’s POVAll my life I thought that I was destined to live and die by myself. My mother does not love me or so I thought , but it turns out that she loved me the way that she knew how. I could have not found this if not for Zachary Oliver who turned my boring, sin-eater life into a full three hundred and sixty throttle mode.And yet, here I am.Happily married to the man that my brother, Maddox had bitten. So, he was not a mystery. He was under the influence of the Goddess Persephone, who was in return--under the manipulation of my husband’s very own grandfather. We both have dysfunctional families but we both share the same goals--to maintain our happy family.I have kids that always remind me to keep my feet on the ground and to always love one another. I have completely abandoned my life as a high end Bulgarian high end bachelorette for a life of simplicity and endless laundry and and I believe that I am already qualified to compete in the national rapping competition.I rap
They say that a family is the basic unit of a community. For Zac, family is everything. He could not ask for anything more. Having two set of parents and a lovely wife, with three beautiful kids who do not let them live in peace and keeps them up on their toes all day is what a family really is.Their house is a mess all the time and he and Helena cannot have enough time for themselves unless they visit Bulgaria, where every house staff was eager to take care of the three kids and the entire estate is their playground.Zac was staring at the sky, sipping his third cup of coffee, because is essential when you are a parent. Helena left her work and takes good care of the children full time, she has her hands full with three kids to feed and a husband to reprimand on spoiling the children. Zac still works with the firm and he is now senior partner. George is still working there and he is the other senior partner. Helena bought the firm in secret.They really do not need to work because he
The kitchen in that modern bungalow house down in Maine was a mess. Three children ages four, three and two were busy making breakfast for themselves.Not your ordinary, edible breakfast. They took everything out from the fridge and poured flour all over their stash.The kid's names were---"Solandra, Maddox and Hades! Oh my.. What the fudge!" she was not allowed to cuss, most especially in front of her children. It had been five years, three kids and a consistently dirty kitchen later, Helena is now a mother.Yep, she named their children after the people they lost to remind them each passing day that there is nothing that love cannot conquer. She and Zachary, the new hero of Mount Olympus hitched up and settled down. They were no longer sin eaters. After Zac saved the world, he asked for one thing and that was to be human. They got what they wanted and the grand parents from Olympus gets to visit the kids as often as they want as long as they promise not to spoil the kids. Their ch
“Oh my God! I found my gift!” “Yes, you did.” Zac was so happy for Helena, he truly was. For so long , all she wanted was to discover her gift because it had been one of her greatest frustrations and now that she had found hers. She was always envious of Maddox who got his gift early and the rest of the sin-eaters who did not had a hard time finding what they were endowed.he only wish that they were another gift, Damn, she had two. “Are you having second thoughts now in marrying me?” Helena knew how his mind works now, nbut she was wrong in thinking abut the second thoughts. “What? No. Just because your gifts are extra deadly combination for a soon to be husband---you think I am gonna be scared? Well, let me tell you one thing, Miss Mountbatten and you have to listen very carefully---I am not scared of you or you powers, I have my own powers too.” Zac was now a full pledged Elven Mage and a demi God, he has a range of powers that none of the other Gods had and his parents could ne
The cave that leads to the endless tunnel and cave where Cronos’ body and containment box was locked and double locked. Freya, made sure of that, she used all the ancient runes that she knew of and exhausted every containment magic she had to ensure that the door will never be found.Zachary was wounded and because a God had given her these wounds, it did not heal right away.his mother gave him some healing leaves to alleviate the pain because they won’t go off right now. They will be like mortal wounds. The whole nine yards. He was just glad that Helena stood by him through all these fights and battles and there is just one thing that he would want to hear from her right now.“Some day, huh?” he voiced out for everyone to hear.“Yeah, some day.” Zeus answered. He and Freya were now huddled up against each other. “Sooo, you two are like okay now?”As an answer to that, Zeus gave Freya a quick kiss on the lips which soon developed into a passionate kiss. Zachary covered Helena’s eyes
Zac’s POVHelena have this weird and crazy idea that I do not know if I should give it a shot or no. He was a quarter close to successfully freeing himself from the containment box. It is now or never really. I try to focus on the people I love. My family in Texas who by now might be calling the police and dead worried because me and my girlfriend had been missing. My biological parents who are now mourning the death of my uncle Hades who did his best to convince his wife to call it quits.Helena’s losses. Her entire family was taken from her. She deserved to be happy with a family of her own and he badly wanted to get out of here alive and to continue living his life.With this in mind, Zac runs and jumps inside the containment box to everyone’s horror.“You! What did you told him to do?” Freya panicked when she saw what Zachary chose to do.“I-I told him to use the bolt to shut the lid and weld it together. I did not ask him to jump into this own death!”Inside the containment box.
“We will.”Zeus’ voice boomed from the upper staircase. It was not just him. There was Poseidon and Hades and Freya.When Persephone saw her husband free, she was furious. ” Who let you out?”Hades took a few steps and touched a half creature and it quickly turned into a heap of dust. Those who were in a close proximity to the ascending God of the underworld took a few steps back.the Hades she left imprisoned in his own kingdom that looked sad, poor and unshaven was very different as he came closer.“Dear wife, you believed that you are smart, but I am cunning and I would like to thank my nephew here for finally following my orders to the T. ““You’re welcome uncle.” Zac said and he bowed low.“Impossible.”“I will tell you what is impossible, okay? Releasing the man who put us all in danger is impossible.”“Why, because you will try to stop me?”“We won’t do that. We are only here to get rid of the monstrosities that our father unleashed to make it fair and square. Zac will take care
Zeus and Freya was still arguing when they finally noticed that their son was gone and so was his bolt. He had a smug grin on his face when he finally found the heir that is worthy of the bolt.“What are you grinning at?” Freya said.“You know what this means, don’t you?” “That you are an asshole for underestimating my son?”“He is also my son.”“Oh, now he is?”“I have to annoy him so we don’t have to force him into wielding the bolt. He did i on his own accord and the bolt chose him!”“That was your parenting skill?!” Freya could not believe how Zeus handled this. It worked but it was annoying and Zeus was so proud of himself.“I am sorry for all the times that we wasted without each other, Freya. You know I still loved you. I never stopped.”Freya did not stop loving the God too. The truth was, she had never loved anyone after Zeus. Elves, like the creatures of the dark can only love once and her love of her life was unfortunately the God of thunder, the father of her son. How can
