The Fated Queen 7: Jayce
Jayce sat back in his chair as he surveyed the group closely. The ice clinked in his whiskey glass as he brought it to his lips. Dante sat poised, with one leg crossed over the other. He was a defined gentleman to the letter with his black slacks and dark red button up. His dark hair had grown a little since the last time he saw him. The golden eyes shimmered as he took a sip from his own whiskey glass. Though, being a Vampire, he most likely wanted something else to drink instead. He didn't know the man well enough, but he was respectable and well versed in the world's knowledge. Amongst the group all together, he was the most trustworthy. He shifted his gaze to Aiden next, who filled his whiskey glass to the brim and practically downed it. There wasn't anything good to say about the Wolf. He's a Rogue. A defiant Alpha. On top of all of that, blood related them to one another. They couldn't be anymore different, though. The man sat with dirty jeans and work boots with a black fitte

"And then he..." The door opened abruptly, and stalled Lily from finishing her story. Jayce towered in the doorway. She bit her lip as he glanced around the room until his eyes settled on the broken lamp on the floor. "Jayce!" She smiled brightly as she rushed over to him and grabbed his hand. "We were telling stories, and I had to share a bunch with them about you." She pulled him into the room to show him off and noticed Dante, Zalakai, Aiden and Damion followed him. "Lily." He stopped her and sniffed her hair. "Have you been drinking?" He asked her. "Yeah, but it was only..." She stopped and counted on her fingers. "This many!" She held up one finger on each hand. Jayce looked over at Erica, who held up six fingers instead. "Can you say my name again? It gives me butterflies." She giggled. "She's very giddy and childish when she's drunk?" Damion asked as he slipped past everyone and joined Erica at her side. "Oh, it gets better." She nudged him gently. "This is just a portion

Jayce! Wake up! A crash startled him awake. He bolted upright, his hand landed in the space Lily had been sleeping in. A light blinded his vision from the open doorway into the lounging area. With that light, he heard gusts of wind as if a tornado had been set off in the other room. It's Lily! I can't reach her! Nox panicked. He had never heard his Wolf speak with such fear in his voice. Jayce rolled out of bed and got to the door when he met a strange scene. There was a heavenly light centered in the middle of the room. Within that light, black text spiraled around like a whirlwind vortex in the air. Below it all, with the book open in her hands, was Lily. "Lily!" He shouted to her, but she didn't respond. The wind grew stronger, but he refused to standby. He forced himself into the wind. His claws extended as he dropped to his knees and stabbed his claws into the floor to keep him steady. Jayce looked around for anything to knock the book out of her hands when the door to the

Soft groans echoed around the room. Bodies draped over one another. Skeletal deformities. Whimpers and last gasps before death took hold. Black mist blanketed the ground. Tendrils snaked over and under the corpses at her feet. Tangled in the cold stench of death. Another last breath. Life faded from a young Dark Witch's eyes. Dark energy pulsed from within her body, circulated from her and into Karmina. Slowly, she drank the life essence from the young Witch. Just as she did with the others. In the dim light of a flickering candle, color returned to her sickly pale skin. Her fingers that held this Witch's throat swelled up with blood. She let the body fall amongst the others. Death came swiftly to her, unlike the many that still groan and whimper for mercy. Such devote followers. Such weak creatures. If not for their devotion, however, she would still be locked away in that damned forsaken prison. Guarded by Asmodeus' guard dog of a son, Zalakai. Yes. She knew who he was. How could

The bright white light faded away, and the warmth of the sun seeped into her skin. The crash of waves against the cliff side raised alarms. Lily turned left and right. She spun a full three sixty. This wasn't the suite she remembered being in. Her bare feet rested on cool cracked marble stone tiles. Pillars raised up along the edge of the open concept of a temple. A few pillars near the center of the structure lay collapsed and broken, with the ceiling above having caved in. Sea salt was clear in the air. Soft warning growls drew her attention to several large Wolves further into the temple. At first, the furs on the necks raised up to appear larger and threatening, but after a moment they sniffed the air and their demeanor suddenly changed. Lily took a step back as the Wolves approached her. Tails swayed and their ears slightly back. "They mean no harm." A woman's airy voice spoke up. Lily glanced over to find a slender, tall woman step up onto the landing from behind the temple.

A trembling motion stirred the young Wolf pup awake. She sat up quickly, still half asleep. Another rumble. An earthquake? Her eyes adjusted to the darkness quickly. Everything remained as they were. Pictures hung on the walls. Figurines stationary on shelves. Yet the tremor occurred a third time. Inside her head. It was minor the first two times, which had confused her that an earthquake was taking place. "Dad?" Myra called out nervously. She rolled herself out of bed and made her way to her bedroom door. "Dad!" "Myra." Her father's grovel voice reached her from down the hall. She peered down to his bedroom door, where she found Jayce leaned up against his doorframe for support. "Dad?" Alarms went off in her head. She sensed that something was off with him. Especially with her mother in the hospital again. They did not give her many details about the situation, but it wasn't rocket science. Her mother was changing. She has always sensed that since her brothers were born. Lily wa

"Nox isn't a monster, though." Lily protested. "He's gentle and loving." "He is now that he has you." Leto retorted. The Goddess smiled warmly. "You tamed the beast while no other could." She cast her eyes out over the seamless waters. "The King carried a hungry that he just could not satisfy." "So, you created his Queen." Lily said. "Why did you wait so long to help him?" "He is still my child." Leto said. "I could not keep a muzzle on him." She sighed. "Though, the wars waged and the blood that was shed. I could have stopped it all, but deities are restricted from intervening with mortal and Supernatural affairs." "Until now." Lily leaned forward slightly to gaze at Leto's face. "Can I get an answer about who I truly am, then?" The one question she wasn't entirely prepared to hear answered, however. Leto side glanced at her before she peered down at the brown Wolf beside Lily. "Would it be rude of me to answer your question with another question?" "I'm afraid I won't have muc
Last Updated : 2022-09-23The Fated Queen 14: Myra
It had been a week since Lily collapsed into a coma. The media hadn't caught wind of it yet, thankfully, so her father could be with her in peace. Although, some questions raised during that time about where she was. Her mother missed several meetings and was questioned about her lack of attendance. Her grandmother was able to put a stop to that before it could get out of hand next. Grandpa Derrick and her Uncle Elias have been keeping her and her brothers' company while her father visited her mother frequently. She didn't quite understand the Mate Bond yet, aside from the sacred link behind it. As desperate as she wanted to see her mother, she knew she needed to stick close to Zyrus and Sylar. To protect them. Just as her father asked her to do. "Myra, darling?" Penelope spoke up from beyond her door. "Come down for breakfast, dear. Your father cooked your favorite." The sound of Penelope's heels clicked against the tile as they faded from the door. Myra zipped up her backpack afte

The Fated Queen 74: Lily
When was it that he last touched me like this?Jayce's lips glided along the arc of her throat. His tongue flickered out to feel her pulse that raced beneath her skin. His hand roamed over the curve of her hip, his fingers hooking on the leggings she wore and tugged them down earnestly. Lily felt his Mark ignite, throbbing with an ache that had been deprived for months. Her nails dug into his back, raising a soft growl from his throat. The sound raised goosebumps along her exposed legs and a shiver to run down her spine. He sat up. His fingers shifted into claws and tore her shirt open. Ten years ago, this would have surprised her, even made her call out in shock, but her fingers caressed his cheeks and brought him back down in a welcoming kiss. She felt him sigh against her lips as he melted against her. His claws woven into her hair as he wedged himself between her thighs. "Lily..." His voice a deep rumble in his chest. "I have a darkness within me." He murmured against her lips.
The Fated Queen 73: Jayce
His head ached when he stirred. There was a slight weight on his chest when his eyes fluttered open. As his blurred vision began to clear, he recognized the room he and Lily were guests in at Aiden's home. The warm glow of the setting sun spread across the ceiling through the blinds. He inhaled deeply. The sweet scent of Lilies filled his senses and his eyes dropped to his Mate and her head that rested on his chest. Lily... The flash of memory from his Wolf nearly taking her life flooded his mind. He squeezed his eyes shut, his hand clamped over his face when he felt her shift and sit up. Her sleepy gaze swept over him before they brightened with alertness. "Jayce!" She smiled with relief. "You scared me. You've been out for a couple of days." She informed him as she brushed his hair from his face. "Lily..." He grumbled weakly. "The kids will be so relieved." She went on. "Myra has been worried sick, and the boys are confused." "Lily." His sharp tone ended in a growl. She fell
The Fated Queen 72: Nox
Nox curled up in a puff of black fur amidst the depths of Jayce's subconscious. The memory of his beloved Mate pinned beneath him while trapped in his frenzy. The fear in her eyes would forever be engraved in his mind. "Is this where you plan to hide from me?" Azura's sweet voice caused his tail to stir faintly. Even in his distress and misery, her presence still brought him a sense of joy. "You should not be here." He told her, weakly. "I do not wish to bring you more harm." "You never harmed me or Lily." She reassured him. He felt the weight of her along his side as she rested on him. "We thought we lost you for a moment, though." She admitted as she brushed her muzzle against his ear. "That terrified us." "I am not safe to be around, Azura." He growled softly as he pushed himself to his feet. "What if the next time I truly hurt you and Lily? What if I hurt the pups? Or kill..." "Nox." Azura spoke sternly, but with a layer of softness as she sat up. "I know you. Even in these
The Fated Queen 71: Lily
Seeing his tears and hearing his apologies broke Lily. For a moment, as everything finally fell quiet, all she could do was stare down at the unconscious body of her Mate laying atop her. What happened to him? To Nox? "Jayce?" She brushed his hair from his face. "Lily!" Aiden had sprinted over to her and slid to her side. "You're not hurt anywhere, are you?" He asked urgently. She shook her head before she turned her gaze back to Jayce. "Can you..?" "Here." Zalakai knelt down and took Jayce by the arm and hoisted him up. His Demonic form had also receded. Aiden took Jayce's other arm and together they pulled his unconscious body off of Lily. "His clothes." Lily remarked when a leather jacket fell onto her chest. "Don't worry about his lack of attire." Rayleigh told her. Lily peered down, having forgotten that her clothes had torn away when she shifted. She rose to her feet, holding Rayleigh's leather jacket to her body. "We have to get him back to the house. He'll be out for a
The Fated Queen 70: Jayce
"Dammit!" Jayce growled. "Calm down, Nox." He spoke through gritted teeth. The moment the damn Demon antognized him, Nox practically went berserk. He didn't blame his Wolf for just wanting to protect his Mate, but he would've settled by now. There was something wrong. Something very wrong. "You idiot!" The familiar feisty tone of Rayleigh sent a shiver through him. The women were back. Lily was back... "Nox, stop!" He grabbed onto Nox's leg, attempting to drag him back, but the large Wolf kicked him aside. Jayce grunted as he falls back onto his ass. "Lily..." Nox growled deeply. Jayce pushed himself to his feet when he noticed in the persception that Zalakai seemed to hesitate. Why? After coaxing him for so long. The Demon's eyes seemed to shift away for a moment. There. A soft crunch of boot against the dry grass. Was it Rayleigh? Zalakai would only hesitate if it came to her, right? Nox's fur bristled as he bared his teeth. A dark mist filtered through his sharp teeth. His pier
The Fated Queen 69: Lily
The ground quaked beneath her as her eyes snapped open. Snarls thundered through the clearing. The first she noticed was Dante crouched in front of Willow protectively, his gaze fixed on something across from them. Next, she realized arms had embraced her and Amira, who had been sitting beside her. Aiden had been holding them for how long she wasn't sure, but his grip was of iron though. She couldn't fully sense it, but his Wolf was on high alert. Nox!Lily's head swiveled around until she found what was going on. Zalakai, in his pure Demonic form, was in a pin against her Mate, also in his true form. The ground had torn up with dirt and grass scattered about. Zalakai and Jayce were in a grappled stalemate, each with their own fair share of exchanging wounds. "Jayce!" Lily pulled herself from Aiden. "Don't!" Aiden grabbed her arm to restrain her. "This is his mess to deal with." "What the Hell happened?" Amira asked him. "Zalakai antagonized Jayce," Dante informed them. Willow g
The Fated Queen 68: Amira
"Explain to us what you have learned so far of Karmina." Hecate requested as she linked her hands in front of herself. "She's tucked herself away in an abandoned mansion a previous Werewolf King had lived in." Amira stated. She reached into her back pocket and pulled out a folded up map she had put there earlier. She laid it out over the table. "Based on Willow's previous visions, the location is marshlands surrounded by plains or dead trees." "Would you know the locations of where Nox was at one point?" Lily asked Leto. Leto inclined her head with a slight frown. "I am afraid once I gave life to the Werewolf King, his whereabouts were none of my concern." "And that is where you failed." Hecate clipped. Willow gave the Goddess a stern look, and the deity turned her chin away. "You're not exactly guilt-free here either, Hecate." Willow added in. The Goddess scoffed softly, but her posture eased slightly. "Even when we questioned Xander, he has a minimum recollection of how they
The Fated Queen 67: Rayleigh
What a way to stand out. Rayleigh silently observed the other women that accompanied their Goddesses. She was unaware of Lily's devotion to Leto or if there was devotion at all, but the Goddess seemed rather doting on her. Like a mother to their child. Then there was Amira alongside Artemis, but instead of a parental figure that Leto aired for Lily, Artemis and Amira were as colleagues. A mentor and student, perhaps. Artemis had taken off her bow and was going over step by step of its creation while Amira listened intently. Rayleigh was mildly aware of Amira dabbling with bows over the past year now before crossing the waters to retrieve the Werewolf Queen. She just wasn't aware of how seriously Amira was taking the Hunter role now. Rayleigh glanced back as Hecate, a towering presence, glided in alongside Willow. Willow, a soft and innocent woman, looked out of place beside the night Goddess. Hecate, who not only radiated with otherworldly beauty but also had a confidence about he
The Fated Queen 66: Willow
The presence of the Goddesses was overwhelming. It surprised her that her knees hadn't buckled yet. Leto's kind and welcoming smile. Hecate's cool yet stern gaze. Artemis's curious incline of her head. It was an unexpected trio to come across. But perhaps, not so much unexpected. Lily was the first to follow Leto up into the ruined temple. The Wolves that acted as a barrier had curved around Lily as well in the same protective manner. Though, she believed it was more so for the sake of the Wolf that resided in Lily now than the Human counterpart. Amira took her place alongside Artemis without question. The Huntress placed a hand on Amira's shoulder and gave her a squeeze of reassurance. There was a silence between them, but words didn't need to be spoken. There was an understanding between them that a shared look was the only thing necessary. Rayleigh trailed along after Amira quietly. She seemed out of place here. Was she questioning her own beliefs? Willow was aware that Rayleig
