[Kali’s POV]After spending most of the day making sure the new recruits were being trained properly, I ordered my lieutenants and majors to meet my general Thanatos and me in the war room. Walking in they stand and greet me before we take our seats to initiate the strikes, we have been planning over the past several weeks. “Thanatos, what are the reports of where we are at with our numbers,” I questioned. “We are now at thirty-thousand strong, with the majority being the human scum we gathered from the surrounding prisons. Of that number four thousand are comprised of the rogue wolves, and the vampires, witches, demons, and fae who defected from their lands,” Thanatos replied. “That should be more than enough to take over and hold the cities, along with killing anyone who gets in our way. Let’s go over the strategies one more time, and then I will order the strike tonight. But, before we do, has there been word from Adam about my prize.” A wicked grin appeared on Thanatos's face as h
[Sam’s POV]My inner demon is burning with rage inside of me, but I need to stay calm to find my love and protect my people.With our game plan now set, Max, Damen, Trinity, and I are preparing for war. So, few times in the hundreds of years I have been alive had I used the enchanted armor before me, and here I am now putting it on.I had hoped the days of war were far behind us. Few families were gifted enchanted armor, and mine was one of them. The elves of Mysteria crafted a dozen sets of armor, made of the finest supernatural steel. No human has ever had access to this material, or the magic bound to it.The metal itself contains high magical vibrations, with restorative properties as well as vibrations of high strength. After the armor was crafted, it was sent to the fae to enchant it with high magick.They placed enchantments of increased stamina, endurance, healing, quickness, and strength upon it. They were each given to members of supernatural royalty; vampires, werewolves, w
[Gia’s POV]From light to darkness, I fell, down a tunnel of blackness. The bottom approached and my body slammed against a floor made of some kind of liquid. Lying there I brought my knees to my chest and dared not to move while contemplating how this happened, where I am, if my son and mates are safe, and if the nightmare I had previously was coming to fruition. Darkness does not typically cause fear in me. I have spent so many years forced into facing my fears and oftentimes those fears haunted me more at night in my room or sleep. This was a different type of darkness though, not a speck of light could be found anywhere, the floor was covered in a liquid that I cannot see, and the only sound is my breathing and heartbeat. No fan running, no air conditioner or heater turning on to lull me to sleep, just nothingness. I fought to keep myself from moving, in fear that the darkness was going to consume me. As time passed, I worked to slow down my breathing to calm myself while continui
[Gia’s POV]As soon as the group of women left the chamber, four more women dressed in chiton gowns entered followed by another nun.When they approached my display case, they split with two on each side of me, and the nun unlocked the glass-domed door, which held me captive. She pulled down a lever, that loosened my binds. “Step forward Gianna, you are finally getting a man and home to serve. Follow me and we will prepare you,” the nun said to me.Prepare me, what the hell does that entail, I thought as I stepped down and out of the fancy glass cage and proceed to follow her.The other women stayed by my side as we reached the large and intricately detailed door. Shock hit my eyes when the door was opened, and the bright lights burned my retinas.When my eyes adjusted to the light, I saw that we were walking through a beautiful courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded on three of the four sides by a two-story building with white railings on the top floor that wrapped all the way arou
[Gia’s POV]On the ride to my destination, I took in the sights but kept my head as still and straight as I could to avoid any potential backlash. The wind swept my veil and cloth taunt against my skin, penetrating slightly through the tiny pores of the sheer fabric.The warmth of the sun kept the wind from forming goosebumps on my skin. Large pots lined the stone roads, each with different color combinations of roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, lilies, irises, hyacinths, peonies, and violets.The fragrances of those with strong scents tickled my senses in a blissful way. The architecture of the buildings and homes appeared to be of ancient Greek origin, but the roads were not dirt as used in Greece during the Bronze Age.The clothing very much screamed Bronzed Aged Greece, but the nuns’ attire is still throwing me off. Just as I thought I could not be more confused about the era, culture, or place, a giant white stone building lay before me.Oddly, it looked like a modern office bu
***TRIGGER WARNING: Scenes of Sexual Assault in this chapter. [Kali’s POV]“Fuck it,” I said while looking down at her sleeping form. I am taking her now. She is mine to do anything I want with.Her vulnerability and frailty were exposed for my pleasure on the glass bed I had custom-made just for her. The chains that held her arms to the wall above her head and her ankles to each side of the foot of the bed, mixed with my lust to bury myself deep inside of her, consumed my mind.“With Kate out of the way, there will be no one to interrupt us now, my sleeping angel,” I said to my Bridge as I unbuttoned my pants again.Saber and Thanatos injected the antidote to the sleeping potion we gave her into her arm. They instructed that it could take several minutes up to fifteen minutes for her to wake up.They left the room, following my orders to not disturb me unless there is an emergency, and for them to continue to oversee the battle that I set in motion.“How Magnificat, my frail creatur
[Max’s POV]“Alpha, I have Elder Braden on the phone,” Beta Jason said while handing me his cell phone. “Elder Braden, we are at the front gates of Kali’s fortress, and the magical ones almost have his shields down,” I spoke while watching more troops march out of the gate.“The other elders have warriors in place in and around the cities to guard their territories as well. I have put in an order to the Governor to utilize our armed forces. Citizens are being warned now to go to shelters or in reinforced areas of their homes,” Elder Braden informed me.“How are we going to explain the supernaturals to the humans? We need to use the military as the last resort and try to allow our supernatural armies to do most of the fighting to limit human casualties and exposure,” I said.“I have the same concerns. Humans are not strong enough, even with our advancements in weaponry. It is also incredibly dangerous to use heavy weapons and explosives in the cities since they are so densely populated
[Damen’s POV]Max’s wolf charged at the army advancing from the fortress gate, with determined ferocity. His massive Alpha wolf form slammed into their bodies and broke their line.The armies immediately turned and circled in on Max-Dom. Having an aerial view allowed me an advantage of seeing where the circle was weakest, and I dove like a missile at them taking several of them out with my sword before flying back up to circle back down again.As I dove to slice more of them in half, Sam zig-zagged through them with his sword. The other angels, fae, and demons of my warrior force, flew at them as well, picking off several at a time each.Bodies of supernaturals are being ripped apart, tossed from the air, and severed in half. Each swing of my sword splattered blood everywhere. The splatters stained everything it touched, including my armor.The lieutenants I sent to the cities sometimes mind-linked me to tell me that they were pushing Kali’s forces back toward the direction of the for
