Heavens know I tried to stay calm, if for nothing, but for the children. Knowing now that they can easily pick up my mood. Sarafina was carrying Tabitha and Anton held onto Keanu. The rest of the gammas flanked us in a protective shield as if they were expecting an ambush and considering we are in the middle of nowhere and perhaps still close to the wild rogues valley, it was quite understandable. Magical energy swelled in me and I could feel my fingers tingling. The thought that Dane was on the other side of the veil and might be in danger gnawed at me. I swallowed, counting numbers to contain my fears. I flinched when lightning struck in the dark sky and followed by a deafening rumble. Breathing audibly, I opened my eyes and they settled on Keanu. My boy was watching me like a hawk. I smiled at him, hoping to let him know it was fine. 'Open the portal,' I heard Dane's voice in my head and breathed like someone coming out for air. Holding my right hand forward, I murmured an in
I was uncomfortable getting her naked and having sex in the open place, but the scent of her arousal got to me and I lost control. Having her against the tree was my way of shielding her in case there was another guardian lurking in the veil. I tried not to think of Anastasios Martas' ominous tone earlier and got lost in the pleasure of being buried in the warm sweetness of my woman. Gosh, she felt so good, milking and fastening around me in a firm grip, giving me an almost painful pleasure. It felt as if I was rocking with her in my arms, thrusting and bucking uncontrollably, lost in sexual ecstasy. It was divine. I didn't want it to stop. Her floral scent mixed with nature, driving me wild. My arms tightened a tad too hard around her and she let out a groan, I cursed mentally trying to contain myself but it was hard. "You feel so good," I rasped. "I'm sorry if I'm hurting you…" "You are not, my love, don't stop," she whispered back fervently. I growled deep in my throat as emo
"The Eastlanders have a temple in the Walsbour Mountain where they worship Selene…" Anastasios Martas started to say. "I know the gods can be megalomaniacs sometimes but please tell me Selene has not grown fickle enough to trust the offspring of Gala with her weapon of war just because they praise and worship her!" "No. She did not. The witches didn’t even have the knowledge of what she looked like but now they don’t only know, they have a sculpture of her — the exact image of Selene with her torch in the temple," he said, repeating himself so I would catch his meaning but I already knew what he meant. "How the fuck would they know what she looks like? And her weapons of war?" "Hekate thought it would be funny to possess the leader and give her the vision of what their goddess looks like. So they could see that Selene in all of her glorious beauty has horns. She invoked Selene's spirit through the witch's lips, passing the power in the torch to the caricature," Wulfgar Hawk suppl
Heavens, I have never been so angry. I recalled Saraya suggesting the death hex might be a result of her overusing magic. The two of us were so far off the mark. I had expected retribution from Zeus and Selene and had easily blamed them. I should have held onto my hunch about that bitch. When Saraya told me how Evanore Cinnabar Thornheart died I had a gut feeling it was planned. But back then the Eastlanders' politics were of no interest to me. I had Saraya and that was enough for me. I found myself clenching and unclenching my fist as I strode back to the house. Marching through the gate, I tried to contain my fury but it was of no use. I wished we hadn't gone to the wild rogues' valley earlier, it would have been a great place to head to right now to let off steam. Entering the room, my eyes settled on Saraya as I took off my clothes. The silk cover outlined her curves, clinging to every inch of her. She shifted her position, resting on her back and I couldn't take my eyes off
If there was another term to describe eternal blissfulness, I think that would capture how I felt burrowing into his arms. He wrapped around me engulfing me in a tight protective embrace that made me feel loved and cherished. I couldn't believe I just told him I love him but I had no regrets it was evident that he felt as intensely as I did. I raked my fingers through his hair, enjoying the silky feel of his mane. He made a pleasure-filled sound deep in his throat, causing me to smile. I edged upward to plant a kiss on his jawline. His well-formed lips stretched into a smile. "Keep doing that and you will not be going back to sleep," he rasped with his eyes closed. His voice was a delicious baritone goodness. In response, I climbed over him, cupped his chin and kissed him. He chuckled. I felt his hand gently stroking my naked behind, he trailed the tip of his fingers against my skin, moving them up and down the slope of my back. I felt so complete. "Tell me how a gorgeous hottie
When I opened my eyes much later, I found I was the only one in bed. Turning on Dane's side of the bed my eyes darted about and settled on his broad back. He stood by the window wearing nothing but cargo pants. The sight brought a smile to my face. I had imagined seeing him in the regular clothing I was used to and thought he would look odd in suits, but my goodness, in those Cango pants, he looked like a god! His long, toned body was something to behold. I settled back on my back, watching him. His long straight hair fell to his back, reaching the top of his bum. And what a lovely behind! "Hey," I called. He turned around. The side of his lips tweaked in a teasing smile and he said,"Again, you know I can hear your thoughts, right?" I felt heat grow on my neck and face. "Argh! Stop it, Dane!" I said, burying my face into the nearest pillow. He chuckled. "I am not the one doing it, babe," he said in a laughing voice. "But I do appreciate that you love my bum," he added, "and c
I didn't want to leave the children again, but Dane said it was better for them to stay back at Central Northlands. When I mentioned my worry about their safety he chuckled and told me they were not staying there for safety but to protect the pack. "You do realise they are babies, right?" I replied, trying not to let the panic swirling inside me show. I wriggled my hands unconsciously and when I realised what I was doing I forced them to my side. Dane studied me for about a minute. He then moved to stand in front of me to frame my face and said, "Sara … Tabitha and Keanu are hybrid Lycans. They also have magic in them and because they are our children they are demigods…" "Demi? Don't you mean hemigods, since you are a demigod?" I said, searching his gaze. He made as if he wanted to say something but changed his mind. A frown furrowed my eyebrows and my eyes darted in their sockets as I watched him keenly, wondering if he was hiding something from me. "They both mean the same thi
His touches felt like the kindling of a wildfire of intense desire, spreading throughout my body, causing an aching need in between my legs. And even though I had never been with a man before, I knew exactly what it meant. 'A man?! This is no man!' the voice in my head screamed. I should be scared. I should be frightened that this creature was touching me in a peculiar way that was making me ache all over. I have been propositioned by men before. Wizards, werewolves, even the nightwalkers. None of those had been able to spark any attraction in me and this creature that I had only met made me want to beg for him to explore every inch of me. Despite witnessing what he truly was! The closest creatures I could liken him with are Lycans – creatures that possessed the ability to shapeshift into a half-human half-beast. I have been warned they were human-eating freaks and if I recalled clearly before I passed out he mentioned his opponent could feed on my soul! My freaking soul! How am I
Leaving Saraya sleeping on the bed, I left the room with the intent to parade the pack grounds, the poor thing was tired. It's been quite a day. Wondering if anyone took up Evanore's offer or if Anastasios Martas had snatched his mate away as I did mine. My lips stretched in a smile and I took a deep breath, allowing that familiar feeling of contentment to settle over me. I swore it's been a while. The thought of Zeus still unnerved me whenever he came to mind but I figured I would be able to weather whatever plan he is cooking up as long as I have my family. The sight of the foyer being completely empty made me chuckle. I strode towards the kitchen and sniffed, my strides faltered as I thought about whether to go in or let the two be. Out of curiosity, I proceeded and pushed the door open. Bertulf was sitting on one of the tall stands by the kitchen workable and Ana; his mate, was serving him some steaks. The two looked in my direction when I peered in. "I wasn't expecting to s
"Are you going to kill me? You gutless fool!" Vrionis taunted Bertulf as he came to stand by his side. "No. I have exactly what I wanted. You, groveling at my feet, knowing you are about to die,' Bertulf replied. Vrionis snarled and even with one arm gone and his face bloodied with deep gashes on his left cheek, he made to lunge at Bertulf but Raedwulf Lykaon raised his right booted feet and crushed his head. Alora, Evanore, and I flinched and looked away. Reaching out to wrap her fingers around my wrist and Alora's, Evanore whispered, "We should leave the men to finish this up." "Yes!" Alora effused with eyes shielded with her other hand. I gestured to Sarafina to join us as Evanore drew us away from the scene and we found our way through dead bodies and to our side of the border. I didn't look back until we were on our side. And when I did, I only looked upward, silently searching for my husband for the second time in hours. "You can go home, Luna, this might take a w
I watched as a legion of wolves and Lycans milled to one side, about half of Vrionis armies, but the rest plus the ones with the neck bracelets did not stop. They started to rush forward towards us. Anastasios Martas howled and the guardians swept in after them. "If you are with me, stand to the far right!" Bertulf yelled, "and let the grounds drink the blood of traitors!" Vrionis half-shifted as he got closer to us. Bertulf did the same. And the difference between their beasts made me understand better the possible source of Vrionis' hatred. Bertulf was not a wolf but a mixed-breed Lycan. "Don't die," I told him. "He is no match for me," he growled back. "He didn't have a mechanical arm then, he does now," I warned and turned my back for just a second thinking to cut off the weight holding the balloon steady, so it could float up unrestrained. And from the corner of my eye, I saw Vrionis leap, landing in front of his half-brother, the two circle each other before leapi
The scene before me was impressive. Saraya has succeeded in buying time and protecting Jared, Sarafina, and the pack gammas. I saw the Lycans we rescued from the human realms were in the mix with Hauser and Kahn. The number of enemies beyond the veil was vast with Vrionis atop a fire-breathing dragon, billowing fire against the shield. And I could see he had replaced his severed hand with a mechanical one.I took a side glance at the guardians in silent inquiry. Anastasios Martas' eyes were swirling with anger. "One of yours?" I asked, gesturing to the dragon. "Mine," one of the newly freed guardians answered from the back. "We may never get him back. He has that damn contraption around his neck!" Anastasios Martas growled. "That thing killed my beast, I can't wait to get my hand on that little shit!" Anastasios Martas snarled. "You all have to be careful, we can't tell what else he has up his sleeves," Evanore said. I nodded. Saraya and Evanore hurried forward to help Sarafina.
My heart was beating faster than normal at the thought that Dane had been in mortal danger and Hekate; my mother, had to intervene and the children had witnessed it. The fear clouded my thoughts and feelings, drowning the emotions geared from meeting my birth mother for the first time. So many things were happening at the same time. I took a quick glance at the entrance Hekate had walked through a moment before with my children as if it was the most natural thing in the world, and not that she had just brought my children back from Mount Olympus. I swallowed, conjuring her image in my mind, and thought she looked quite stunning. And it almost seemed as if I was looking at my own reflection. I felt really charged when she hugged me as if she was passing energy through the very core of my being. Dane making love to me earlier had renewed my strength that had been drained by the ordeal with that bitch; Isidora. But Hekate holding me made me feel even more whole with my skin ting
"I'm fine, Dane, I just need a minute to catch my breath," she grumbled. "I know. You have your minute now," I said and placed her on a side couch. Kneeling in front of her to take off her clothes: her cloak and then her fitted pants were the first to go. Making her perch on the edge of the leather couch. I started to unbutton her inner garb until there was nothing beneath but her naked skin. Once the front flaps were free, I parted them up to reveal her naked breasts and gently stroked the back of my hand against her swollen buds. I fought an inner battle to resist her but damn it, she was beautiful. The need to taste her made me lick my lips. Saraya's breathing grew more audible and I raised hooded eyes to meet hers. She reached under my Pteruges to frantically free my shaft. I leaned forward to cup her delicate chin and took her lips. The soft feel made me groan. Her hands stroking and pumping my dick made me quiver. She wrapped her legs around me so as to draw me closer to
I saw for about 20,000 feet above ground level the fucking witch draining my woman of her essence. She just would not stop compiling her sins against me. Increasing my speed with all the fury in me, I swatted the witches in my way to get to her and wrapped my fingers around her throat. Lifting the bitch from the ground and assuming my true form with horns and all, I snarled close to her face, "What did I say would happen when I see you face to face, witch?" She croaked and fear flashed in her eyes for about a second and then she grinned, "Why are you so mad, Lycan prince? Is it because I bested you and succeeded in making a fool of you? I know your type. Your pride and arrogance are as big as the sky. You can not bare to think a mere mortal like me could outwit you! Fucking bastard!" she spat and I caught her hand movement as she tried to conjure something to use against me and I let her since it appeared she was a moron. She jerked and aimed for my gut with a sharp knife dri
"Anastasios!" Zeus thundered. I heard a movement from my right and then Zeus added, "get him out of my sight!" "Yes," Anastasios Martas said and he called out to Raedwulf Lykaon. And then I felt lifted from the floor. Wanting to walk out with at least a little fucking dignity, I pushed the two away once they helped me up to my feet and started to walk towards the door. I was in excruciating pain but was determined to walk out of that bloody door by myself. And once I was out in the corridor, I fell hard to my knees and slumped. Anastasios Martas and Raedwulf Lykaon rushed to pick me up. "You are so fucking stubborn!" Anastasios Martas growled. "Now I know why he was so relentless. You two are so much alike," he added. "Get me outta here!" I said in a drawl. 'Not in this state you need to heal!' Anastasios Martas retorted. Grabbing him by the throat, I snarled, "Get me out of this goddamn place!" "You are unbelievable, Dane!" Anastasios Martas said in utter frustration. I f
"If I may say something … father," Anastasios Martas said, stepping forward as the guards surrounded us. The guardians stood with me in the circle and totally refused to move. "Don't tell me you want to speak in his defense?" Zeus said, giving him a cold stare. "Not a defense per se, but a report …" he said. Zeus sat back. Tabitha and Keanu looked crestfallen. Serene and Hekate rushed to pick the two up and murmured something to them that assuaged them. Serene held on to Keanu while Hekate carried Tabitha. They then turned to watch Anastasios Martas as he continued to speak. Again, I had a feeling that this was planned. "I'm certain Zeus is aware of the conflict caused by the witch who stole mother's weapon of war using one of Hekate's children as a shield. She used that power to commit a lot of atrocities and also enslave Adrastea Orion, Veniamin Tantalatos, Theseus Vlahatos, Yorgos Petras, Christodoulos Angelopoulos, Giannis Macratos, Panos Stavropoulos, Marios Totopoulos, Mi
