"Henry!" I exclaimed as I opened my door only to be greeted by the face of my crush."Green!" He chirped with a sweet smile accompanying his face. His black irises gleamed of joy and his black hair were neatly styled as usual."I was walking along a garden and I found this." He pursed his lips as he revealed the Rose he hid behind his back."A beautiful rose for a beautiful lady." He added in a sweet tone. I bit my lower lip excitedly as my hand reached for it but then my father instantly appeared behind my back."And Who are you?" My Father's hoarse voice protruded behind me. I went stiff and the smile that once birthed on my face vanished. Fear replaced the joy that bloomed within me and my fingers trembled."Commander, I came to see your daugh--""For what?" My father cut him off abruptly while Henry's smile gradually faded. "To take her places? To visit your favorite spot? Or," he inched closer with predatory eyes fixated at my crush who almost melted from his gaze. "To fuck her."
I stared at the fireworks beautifully decorating the night skies. The winds were gentle, and the atmosphere filled with excited people and their laughter. The children busied themselves at the amusement park set up while the adults were busy engaging in one activity or the other. But here I was, unable to smile, unable to be happy. I just stood by an open bar watching my people enjoy this day to the fullest. But I still felt incomplete. Whether I liked it or not, Zeus' absence made me this way. "Miss me already?" He sounded beside me. I frowned and sharply turned to my right only to find nothing but the bar. I gulped down my saliva as Martha approached me with a stern expression in place."Hey." She said but I couldn't even find the proper words to say. Normally, on a day like this, both of us would have gotten ourselves drunk, dancing like crazy tourists. But this time, our tension made us act like strangers."It's time for your speech." She calmly stated as she gestured towards the
"I shouldn't have kissed you." I grumbled as I clutched to my pillow. Squeezing it as my head entertained only one thought. Last night. The taste of her lips, it's softness. The bright green shade of her eyes."I shouldn't have kissed you Green." I growled again, trying as much to suppress Impulse's control over me. My temperature burned as if it were on fire, my heart racing and my crotch refusing to soften. I was craving her, more than ever. I rolled over to the other side of the bed back and forth, gritting my teeth as I kept picturing several moments with Green. Impulse on the other hand was overwhelmingly violent, wanting to take full control over me but I continued fighting against him. Letting him out was like freeing a monster from its shackles. I alighted from the bed with my crotch poking through my joggers. My gaze darted to the bathroom but I shun those thoughts off. I'd already jerked off a couple times ever since the morning dawned and it didn't help. I walked around my
"Stop staring at the ladies." I said, unable to control my jealousy anymore. Although I was enjoying the beautiful buildings we walked past, I couldn't pretend that I didn't see my mate, staring at the ladies walking past."I'm not allowed to stare at the ladies nor am I allowed to admire you, so what should I do then?" He chuckled but I maintained my straight face."I don't know, look at the skies maybe." I retorted."It's not like I'm complaining about the guys gawking at you too though." He mumbled but I could pick the jealousy hinting in his tone. I shot him a brief smile."That's what you get when you have a lady like me as your mate.""It's not like you're that pretty though." He teased and I glared. He laughed and all I could do was secretly admire his laughter. The joy blooming in his eyes. I quickly shook those thoughts off and walked away from him briskly."That's what you get for punishing me." He teased again as he joined my side again. I rolled my eyes but deep down I want
Peace. For the very first time in six hundred years I was able to sleep without any nightmares. My eyes faintly awoke to the morning rays and Zeus's warmth emanating from his chest. There he was sleeping peacefully. I still felt his arm around my waist, our legs intertwined beneath the bed sheets, our chests against each other and of course, the momentary tingling sensation. I pulled away from his embrace, giving me space to properly review his room. Apart from his drawings, there was nothing much. Just a wardrobe and a desk close to the windows. I wondered what kind of life he lived here before meeting me. My mind wandered to his family, they weren't perfect like mine, probably worse. I stared at his handsome face again as a question sprung up in my head. Didn't a part of him wish to kill them? After all, they killed his parents. Perhaps they were too powerful for him. I heaved a light sigh, and then reminisced on last night again."Mark me." A voice pitched in my head. My eyes excl
"Green!""Green!" Martha pitched behind me as I stormed into my room."Martha leave!" I ordered, turning sharply in her direction."My goodness!" Her mouth went agape. "You've been marked. He marked you." She mumbled and in a strange way my anger subsided. I sat on the edge of my bed and she joined me too."Call Lilith.""For what?""To help remove this pathetic mark of course." I blurted."Lilith already has too much on her hands to handle as the new Regent. Calling her here is only going to be a burden."So I should be roaming about with this mark huh." I toned harshly and she heaved a sigh."Yesterday was our heat period." I started on a solemn note, my mind gradually reliving the whole incident again."We went out, had some little chit chat, met his friends and then," I paused, trying to muster enough strength."We lost control, and we had sex." I paused again. "I asked him to mark me and now I'm regretting it. Because of my lust, I lost my senses and made this rash decision."I si
"You're seriously going to do this." Martha voiced while my shackles sounded as I pounded leaves in a small mortal."I don't have a say in this Martha." I replied."But you have a choice, Zeus." She insisted.I paused in my work."If I don't make this potion, Green won't rest and she might do something drastic." I explained even though every part of my body hated the nonsense I was sputtering out."So it's better this way." I continued pounding."And you're fine with this?" She queried as she sat on the floor opposite me. "For how long are you going to keep yielding to her?"My teeth gritted for a while and my body stiffened."I'm not fine with it but I'm hoping one day she'll realize something." I said whilst my mind was busy playing my mate's heart wrenching words."Zeus, if you don't take charge at one point or the other, Green will keep on repeating her love hate cycle for you."I sighed."That's the thing, Green doesn't like to be taken charge of. She likes to be in control and yo
In the end, I was deceiving myself. Both of us regretted it or better said, I mostly did. And as usual, she landed me in prison. This time for a week but here I was in my room again, a free man. I wondered why she released me again, probably for us to repeat our love hate cycle. But I wouldn't lie, I sincerely wished there was another way to root myself deep into her heart. More than ever I wanted to see my mother again, perhaps her spirit could guide me through but unfortunately, even the limbo state failed to favor me.I stood before my mirror, admiring the crescent plus half sun mark on my neck. The marks of mates were usually like a faint bite mark but ours was different. Ours was unique even though I didn't know why. Yet Green was still hellbent on making it disappear. I heaved a light sigh as I sauntered out of my bathroom. I reviewed the luxurious room wondering what I should do today. Perhaps a little break from my mate would make these impending worries disappear."Perhaps I s
