Leo POV.
“Tell me why we are here again?” I shout over the loud pumping music as I try to get my mate’s to tell me again why we are here in a strip club stroke nightclub called Lust.
“Because it is recommended and besides, there is no harm is looking. You seem to be enjoying the sight.” My mate, Jake says as he squeezes my hard cock through my jeans. I groan out when the most beautiful scent wafts towards us. Myself, Jake and our other mate Gabriel all sniff the air.
“How is it possible?” Gabriel asks, and I gulp as my eyes land on a man. He is definitely an Alpha, tall and all muscle. His steel-grey eyes locked on mine as Jake and Gabriel follow my line of sight and they both whisper the word I know would solidify the bond. Mate!
He walks towards us and I see he is unmarked and I smirk, knowing this will be fun. I will mark him and so will my mate’s. We are all Alpha blood and to conquer is in our DNA. It makes no difference that I am what the other’s call the Rogue King. He will serve me like everyone else does.
He walks past us and I become confused when I see him walk towards the stage as I see a beautiful blonde-haired woman step out onto the stage. My breath catches in my throat.
“Let’s welcome to the stage, Gaia.” The DJ announces as I am lost in the way she walks towards the pole in her clear soled platform heels. A red g-string and a tiny bra, which does nothing to conceal her full breasts. I sit down at the table in front of the stage, my eyes not leaving her.
“Maybe the scent coming from that man is hers.” I shake my head as I take a sniff as she works the pole. Shaking my head.
“No, her scent is different. They are both our mates.” Gabriel chuckles as he watches her every movement, the way she twirls around the pole. The way her back arches as she spins, her legs locked. She licks her lips as she looks at each of us. This is our own show. My wolf growls at the thought of the other people in here watching his mate. My cock strains against my jeans. All I want to do is bury it inside her.
Her gaze lands on mine as she slides down the pole, landing in the splits as she brings both legs together, giving me a perfect view of g-string clad pussy. I lick my lips. Wanting nothing more than to crawl up and drive my tongue inside her as she clamps her sweet mouth around one of our mate’s cocks. I can tell she is sin incarnate and is dangerous. But I am worse. You don’t get called the Rouge King for nothing. I will conquer her and so will our mates.
The crowd goes wild as she finishes her set. She doesn’t look back as she leaves the stage. I stand, followed by Jake and Gabriel. We need to find her and stake our claim on her.
“What do you think you’re doing, Gaia? I won’t allow you to do this.” I growl as I see the man with steel-grey eyes man handles my mate.
“What I do is no concern of yours. You maybe my mate, but don’t forget who and what I am. Let go of me now, Calista.” She growls before they both turn to face us. I watch as they both gasp. I smile at them both as the most intoxicating scent fills my nose.
The man, Calista, confirms his acknowledgment of us.
“Mate!” I smile as I look towards Gaia. She looks mortified. She takes a step back, shaking her head as tears line her eyes. I go to speak when she opens a portal and runs towards it.
“Wait!” but she is gone. Ok, what the fuck? How is that possible? Who is she?
“Hi.” Calista walks towards us. I smile at him.
“Hi, I am Leo, this is Jake and Gabriel. We are your mates.” I tell him as I crash my lips on his. He melts into the kiss as he groans into my mouth. His tongue battling mine for dominance. This is going to be fun four Alpha males competing for the attention of one woman.
Breaking the kiss, I gaze into his eyes as he gazes into mine.
“So where did she go?” Gabriel asks from behind me and he lifts his gaze to him. With a sigh, he turns to where she disappeared from.
“She only found out yesterday that I was her mate. It’s complicated. Now today she comes face to face with you three. So, knowing Gaia, she has gone back to Hell.” I furrow my eyebrows at his words. She has gone back to Hell? Is that a metaphor for her home? Like she lives in a shitty part of town? Yeah, that’s got to be it.
“Well, can we go and see her? She has to know we are her mates.” Jake asks him and I pray to the goddess. He says yes when he sighs and shakes his head.
“No.” I growl. Ok this is going to be difficult.
“What do you mean, no? she has nothing to be embarrassed about. Besides, with her being a stripper, she can’t be ashamed of her job.” I say with a chuckle when Calista growls in warning. I hold my hands up. Ok did I say something wrong?
“She was filling in for one of the girls. She is not embarrassed about where she lives or of her job. So let’s put it like this, shall we? You ever heard of Fenrir?” I nod well, of course, who hasn’t heard of the legendary God Of Hell and the Harbinger Of Death. I believe my dear old father and his whore of a mate had the pleasure of being killed by his sister.
“Well, if know of Fenrir, then you will know of his daughters and son.” My eyes widen at what he is saying.
“Gaia. Is his daughter. The Goddess of Hell, The Devil. The Harbinger of Death. When I said she has gone to Hell, I truly mean the underworld. She is the owner of this club and several others like it. Gaia is a Goddess and you think she is embarrassed. No! she is far from it.” I open and close my mouth with what Calista is telling us. When I hear a growl behind us. I shiver under it’s weight as I turn and see him. The God Fenrir.
“Let me guess, you three are her other mate’s?” He chuckles as he steps towards us and we all bow to him. Well, except Calista. His gaze lands on me. He raises an eyebrow at me and I gulp, knowing he played a role in the death of my father. I don’t hold any grudges towards him or Destinee his sister. My father had it coming. I was only a toddler when he was killed and so never really had a relationship with him.
“Yes, and guess what? She ran. In fact, she is in Hell right now, no doubt looking for a way out of this.” I blink. She is what?
“Leave it to me. You stay here with these three and explain everything. We can’t let her do what she is planning.” I blink at his words. What is she planning on doing?
“Welcome to the family.” Fenrir claps me on my back as he opens a portal and steps inside just as we hear a scream coming from it. Gaia! I go to move when the portal closes.
“Shall we?” Calista gestures for us to follow him and we do. We need answers as to why our mate ran, and I think we need to get our heads around the idea that we are fated to the Goddess of Hell, Gaia Williams. The niece of Alpha Destinee and Alpha Titus Blackwood.
Epilogue 1.Rosa POV.Today I leave for the settlement at Moonlight Cove. I don’t want to go. The reason being that Charlie has been awful to me the last few times I have been there; I don’t understand why he is being a total twat.“Rosa, baby. Come on.” My mom Gaia shouts at me from the living room and I groan as I walk like a lost puppy down the stairs. My parents know I don’t want to go, but this is what I have been trained for since I was five years old. It sucks ass being the next Oracle, especially a wolf one. I haven’t told them why I don’t want to go.“Stop grumbling. It will be fun.” My wolf Cece says in my head and I scoff at her. We shifted a few days ago, and she hasn’t shut up since.The shift was painful and I won’t be doing it again anytime soon, that’s for damn sure. We managed to hold off me going to settlement when I was 16, but now I’m 18 and I have to go. Maybe I can run away and they won’t find me?“Don’t even think about it, young lady.” I turn and see my dad Cal
Gaia POV.It has been a few weeks since the not funeral. Everything has settled down and there has been nothing bad happening so far. For that, I can only hold my breath because there will always be trouble waiting around the corner to cause damage and chaos.Rosa has been doing her lesson every Saturday and has been spending time with Charlie. They are so funny together, her with her mischievous ways and him with his nonchalance. He isn’t easily riled, which is a good thing, because we all know how Rosa can get under your skin and it takes a lot of patience with her.The first time she came back from her training. Dragus scooped her up and sniffed her and was asking who had been around her and I told him it was the people from the settlement it is safe to say the following week he tagged along and yes you guessed it, he found his second chance mate. it was no other than Odessa.He is happy and so is she, but at first she ran away because she was worried that he would reject her, espe
Gaia POV.The day has come that we lay Britany to rest. It has been a few days and things are calm for a change. But I know it’s because the pack is mourning the loss of their Luna and after today they will lose their Alpha.I am walking through the packhouse in a black dress and my hair is down, minimal makeup is on my face and I have my black sunglasses. I haven’t been sleeping much as I know things are going to change rapidly when Nic leaves us to go in search of himself. It’s the same thing dad done, but he was searching for his mates.I hope Nic returns to us better than before. All we can do is keep a close eye on him. He had locked himself away from everyone and refused to eat or see anyone, so all we can do is watch from afar.The pack is sombre and some look at Nic with disdain as we walk towards the family crypt. I hold his hand and give it a squeeze. But he keeps his head down and I want to take his pain away, but I can’t. He needs to do this.We stop in front of Selene, wh
Gaia POV.Walking on pack grounds. The place is in turmoil as the warriors are in battle formation and I sigh, rubbing my forehead.“What is going on?” I say to my dad and he shrugs his shoulders as we walk closer to them.“Ok, can someone explain what the fuck is going on?” I shout and they all turn to look at me as my mates and family come running towards us.“Oh, thank the Gods you are safe, what happened?” My mom throws her arms around me and I explain everything and she looks at me in shock before she looks at my dad and he has a pout on his lips. Yeah, I get that from him.“Please tell me you didn’t do that?” she asks him and he just shrugs his shoulders when mom groans and rubs her temples.“God dammit, Fen, you can tell where she gets it from.” I move away slowly, not wanting to be scolded by her. If you didn’t know this, but my mom is fucking scary when she is mad. So yeah, dad is on his own.“Traitor.” I hear him mumble through the link. My eyes widen. Wait, I can link.“Kod
Gaia POV.“No, that’s not possible. No power can unlock that gate without the Guardian.” I say to him when he shakes his head with a chuckle.“That’s where you are wrong. You are or sorry, were the Goddess of Hell your authority overrules that of the Guardian. You willingly gave your power to the monsters. They are growing stronger and it will only be a matter of time before they break the Gate of Purgatory. Releasing the damned back into the world. Do you see what you have done? Gaia, you have caused destruction. All because you couldn’t contain your power.” I look at him in shock. I shake my head. Gods, he is stupid.“No, it was Xena’s power and the damn curse she put on me that has caused this. I tried to fight it and I failed. I wanted to get rid of it. Xena’s soul is feeding the Gate, so is her power, it also feeds it. My darkness, as you know, had been taken over by her power. If I didn’t do what I did, I would have destroyed everything. You know this, with my power, Zeus, I am
Gaia POV.The feeling of something silky against my back and the sun beaming on my face wakes me from a dreamless sleep. Squinting as I open my eyes. I cover my eyes with my forearm as everything is bright. Too damn bright.The sound of birds, running water and soft music fills me. I remove my forearm and see I am laying on a shimmering silk cushion. I look down and see I’m wearing a long, flowing white gown. My wrists, ankles, and neck have gold cuffs and I take in the room.The room is spotless, all white with gold touches to it. The floor is marble white tiles with the same gold swirling through it. I look towards the window and it’s not a window. It’s completely open, with long sheer white voile curtains blowing delicately in the breeze.I pull myself up and walk towards them, and I gasp in surprise.I’m in a paradise. The grass is green and lush, palm trees, animals big and small roam around living peacefully. Predator and prey living side by side. The sky is a mix of blues and l
Jake POV.We all watch on in horror as these shadows fed on Gaia. The room is icy cold and we can see our breaths. With each bite or suck from these shadows, you can see the power being pulled from her. It’s dark misty stuff, then it starts changing colour and becomes red.No-one moves or speaks as we all stand there watching as she opens her mouth, her back arches up and a silent scream tears out of her, tears stream down her face.When her back hits the ground and the shadows slither away with a purr like hiss. Fen runs to her and we follow behind.Nothing is making sense with what has just happened. Then she revokes her power and title. That is when it hits us. It was her power, her darkness, that those things were feeding on. They were taking it away from her.“Will she be ok?” I whisper as I touch her cold, clammy skin with a shaking hand.“I don’t know. You saw what she did. She is no longer the Goddess and her power is gone.” Fen slumps on the floor, cradling Gaia to his chest.
Gaia POV.I watch on in horror as I try to fight back. This isn’t my magic, this is … the curse. Fuck!I try to fight back as I advance forward and grab my father and fling him away as I move to Nic.“STOP, STOP, STOP!” I scream, but I keep moving forward as I try to pull myself back.My hand moves and grabs Nic by his throat, and his eyes fly open as my claws extend. No, no, no, no!“You’re … not … my sister! Are … you?” I try to pull my claws back, but I can’t.“No. I’m not.” As I fight the power, my hand tightens when I’m knocked away from Nic, and I keep fighting. When I turn and see my dad in his beast form as he growls at me.Oh fuck! This is going to hurt. I try again to open the mind link, but I can’t. I can’t stop myself. All I can do is watch on in absolute horror.“Whatever you are, stop!” I scream again when a cold laugh sounds in my head.“No, you know you want this, Gaia. Give in, all your life you have been shunned by them when you should have been loved. They hate you,
TRIGGER WARNING, PLEASE READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION!Leo POV.We all watch in horror at what Gaia has just said. What the fuck is going on?“The first time she felt your betrayal, she caught you in your bed with three whores, yes?” I watch as she balls her fists to her sides and I can feel the anger, sadness, and need for revenge build in her.“ANSWER ME!” she screams and I see a few jump at her tone. She is filled with hate and will hurt him.“Yes,” she growls at him, and so does Sofia. I look between them both and move closer to her when Calista stops me and shakes his head and I can’t read his expression. He is cold.“Do you remember when she collapsed? When she fucking passed out clutching her belly.” I take a breath at her words when the temperature in the room plummets and I know she is pissed.“She was pregnant with your pup. Your pain of betrayal caused her to miscarry in the fucking shower of your room. Then because of that, when you continued and then started beating her, th
