ALTHEA. Our bodies were sucked into limbo, and my feet landed on top of a boulder, on the very same place where I first saw Blade while I was swimming in the small waterfalls on this mountain. But I was alone. I started to panic until I noticed movement in the middle of the stream. Blade emerged from it with a smug smirk on his face as he brushed his hands over his head. I could tell from the clear water that he was fully naked. He only had his azurite necklace on him. “Where is Adan?” I asked. “He left. His job was only to get us here.” He answered before coming closer until he was at the bottom of where I stood. He extended his hand. “Swim with me, Althea. Wearing nothing but that amethyst ring on your finger.” I bit my bottom lip and nodded my head. I took off the garland around my neck and slid my sling bag off my body. I then carefully slipped out of my dress without taking my eyes off Blade. His eyes dilated the moment my bra went off, and he watched me with hunger in hi
ALTHEA. “Come with me, Althea.” Guinevere reached out for my hand, and I took it without any hesitation. She addressed me as Althea. Did this mean she accepted that I let go of Anaiah, of who I really was? We walked in silence. It didn’t even register to me where we were because I was solely focusing on her and the way her colorful skirts rustled as she walked. “I don’t usually make my presence known. Unlike Hades or the other gods, I am just content to watch my daughters and sons behind the veil. But I couldn’t help reaching out to you.” “Because of what I did...” She nodded her head, and my heart picked up its pace. “A long time ago, my witches lived in harmony. I have the dark witches and the light witches. They lived without interfering with what the others were doing. And like any mother, I was at peace, knowing they were thriving and nature was in balance. Until I came to the realization that my dark witches were becoming increasingly greedy. They wanted more. And they wa
ALTHEA.A soft moan escaped my throat before I bit my bottom lip, suppressing any further sound from coming out as I arched my body. I woke up with a tingling sensation coursing through my core, and I was right — Blade was worshiping my pussy, feasting on it as if he were never fed. I just let myself get lost in the sensation, and it took a while before my surroundings sank in.We were in my cottage. In my old childhood bedroom. He probably didn’t feel right fucking me in my mother’s bedroom, so instead, he cramped us in my little bed. The last time I remember, we were inside the cave behind the waterfall. I couldn’t remember coming here. I must have passed out. My pregnancy was making me sleepy all the time, so falling asleep anytime, anywhere, was nothing new. And the way my body felt secure around Blade was most likely the reason I didn’t wake up while he walked us home.Then the memory of my conversation with Guinevere came flashing in my head. But was it real? Or was it all a d
ALTHEA“Blade!” I screamed before I gave one last push, and I felt a large mass just swim out of my vagina as my whole body melted. I had been tired from doing rituals and spells and sex marathons with my mate, but I was never this tired. I felt like all of my limbs and even my internal organs needed a whole year to get their energy back.I was still lost in oblivion when a loud cry pierced the air, and Blade’s hold on my body tightened as he hugged me again. I was sure he had been whispering words to me, but I kept spacing out.“We have a girl…” He mumbled excitedly when I finally met his eyes.I couldn’t stop the smile from curling on my lips. I was actually smiling wide because Blade’s enthusiasm was contagious.What was funnier was that we knew all along that we had a girl. Guinevere confirmed it, and the ultrasounds said it as well. But the excitement on his face and his voice told me like this was the first time he found out we were having a girl.“Can you believe we have a girl
BLADE. A euphoric groan escaped from my throat as my hold on the female’s hips in front of me tightened. I was lying on my back while she was sitting on top of me, straddling my front with her hands on my chest, sending explosive sparks all over my body and drowning me in pleasure I had not experienced in a very long time. This was pure bliss. A smug smirk tugged on my mouth before I squinted my eyes, trying to have a clearer view of her because I couldn’t see her face at all. Her long, dark plum hair was cascading over her, shadowing her face. But I was sure I had never encountered her before, yet she felt familiar. But not knowing who she was was the least of my worries. I was more concerned about what we were doing. I couldn’t remember the last time I had a female in my arms, especially like this. I knew I shouldn’t have anyone, yet I didn’t want to end this. “Fuck!” I growled as my hips bucked faster, hitting her hard as she bounced on top of me. I let my hand move, my fing
ALTHEA. I had become accustomed to living alone after my mother died two years ago. I had no idea about the cause of her death. I just found her not breathing in the middle of the forest of the red mountain after two days of non-stop searching for her. My mother would never abandon me for more than 24 hours without notice. This time, she told me she would gather herbs at the mountain’s east end, but she would return before nightfall. The night came, and the morning followed, but she was nowhere home. I waited until lunchtime, and when she didn’t appear, I prepared to go after her. The forest was full of creatures beyond what a human mind could comprehend. Shifters were everywhere. The bears and the wolves were the most commonly encountered, according to Mom. But as much as they were dangerous and everywhere, I was lucky to have never met one. And I hoped that I would find my mother before I crossed paths with any shifters or any other species, not from the human realm. I was n
ALTHEA. “Have you got no decency?” I shrieked at him. “You hideous creature! Get that thing off my face!” “Can you fucking calm down! I’m a shifter! Nakedness doesn’t bother me!” “'I'm not a shifter and I don’t go around naked or see naked people around me!” “If you’re not fucking aware, I can see your breasts and your pussy but I don’t act as if it’s the end of the fucking world!” He scoffed. I hissed before I swam to the nearest rocks and hid part of my body before I spoke. “Again, leave.” I had no idea if I was disappointed he saw my private parts or because he was simply ignoring that he saw them while I was so affected by his nakedness. “Are you a witch? I need to speak with the witch of the red mountain." He ignored my words again. “I don’t have time to answer your question!” "Oh, come on, little mermaid! Just answer my question, and I’ll be out of your hair!” I glared at him but didn’t answer. I motioned with my hands, and my clothes shot up in the air and landed in
ALTHEA. I arrived at my home and tried to go on with my routine, but I couldn’t seem to focus. Everything reminded me of him. I could see his muscles flexing and the way his jaw tightened, and even with his nose flaring and his eyes glaring at me, I found myself attracted to his physical features. Something was definitely wrong with me. For the rest of the day, I fought with myself not to think about him. At one point, I even screamed at the top of my lungs and let out energy from my body that had all my pans and pots dropped and clattered on the floor. But I still couldn’t get him off my mind. I finally gave up and let my desire for him take over. I drew my curtains close, even though I knew I was alone in this part of the mountain, and sat on my small couch. I leaned my back against it and bent my knees, anchoring my feet on the sofa as I parted my legs and slipped my hand inside my dress and into my underpants. I let go and pleasured myself with thoughts of the man I
