CHAPTER 72: SATISFY MY BEAST~ Harper’s POV ~I didn’t take my time with my morning routine. I walked back out into Gabriel’s bedroom and noticed he was gone. Good, I’ll be able to pick out a cute lingerie set. Hmmm… what color? Oh, these are cute. It was a pretty red lace bra and pantie set. I really love this one. I quickly put them on and got dressed in a pair of shorts and one of my tee shirts. I tied a knot in the bottom of my tee-shirt, which made it tighter and pulled up just a little to show some of my midriff. I blow dried my hair and applied a small amount of makeup. I guess I am trying a little harder today. I want to look good for Gabriel. I ruined my look yesterday with all my tears. After finishing my makeup. I looked in the mirror, this will do. I walk back into Gabriel’s room and walk to his window to look out. It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day. I heard Gabriel’s door open and turned to see a steaming hot man fresh from the training field standing before m
CHAPTER 73: THEY KNEW WE WERE COMING~ Selene (The Moon Goddess) ~ “DON’T TELL ME THAT I CAN’T BE INVOLVED WHEN MY CHILDREN ARE GOING UP AGAINST HADES!” I yelled out. These deities think we should never get involved. Usually I feel the same way, but my children can’t fight Hades! “It’s not a good idea Selene. We don’t want to disrupt the balance.” I screamed to the top of my lungs. “AHHH… What balance? If Hades is released, and his purpose is to take over, then what balance will there be left?” I asked. “Selene, you will not get involved! THAT IS FINAL!” I am thoroughly pissed right now. “Sometimes, I feel like there’s no use in even being a deity if I can’t help my children when they need it most.” When it comes to our creations, we know the direction of their lives are supposed to go. When deities get involved, outcomes get shuffled, and destinies get changed. I hope Harper and Gabriel can handle things down there. Hmmm... If I can't be there in person, ma
CHAPTER 74: GABRIEL GET UP~ Harper’s POV ~I couldn’t get to Gabriel because I was helping all the warriors that were overtaken by Thane’s army. We were caught off guard. Somehow Thane caught our informant. I ran through flaming bodies trying to tackle and kill every enemy in my sight. I moved to rip the neck out of a wolf that had one of our warriors pinned down. I helped up my warrior and moved to the next. I kept glancing toward Gabriel. He was holding his own and giving Thane hell. I was caught off guard by an unshifted enemy warrior coming at me with a dagger. I was able to shift out of the way of his blade, but barely. I jumped back putting some distance between myself and the man with the dagger. I heard a loud growl, I blinked, and Thane landed in front of me grabbing the warrior up by the throat. “WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT NOT HURTING HER! YOU INCOMPATENT AND WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!” Thane’s movements were fast. He stood the warrior up and sliced his head off in one swift m
CHAPTER 75: LET THIS BE AN EXAMPLE~Tanner’s POV~Holy shit balls! Gabriel is glowing bright white! I looked over to Kai and he was just as shocked as I was. I watched as a ball of lightning and wind moved around him rapidly. Even his eyes were bright white. He began to pound on the barrier again. I’m sure Thane is about to get his ass handed to him. I watched Gabe. “I *POUND* SAID *POUND* DON’T *POUND* TOUCH HER! * BOOM! *” The barrier dissolved around Thane and his warlock. “HELL, YEAH GABE!” Dragons roared overhead and allies all around us erupted in cheers. Thane’s eyes were that of shock, disbelief, and anger. He shifted back into his beast and met Gabe before he could make it to Harper. “SET HADES FREE!” Thane shouted to his warlock. “But sir. The mark?” “DO IT NOW!” Thane growled out to the warlock. He took his attention off Harper and started moving his hands in ways that only magical beings do. This time it was black smoke that started rising up fr
CHAPTER 76: BABY LYCAN ~ Selene (Moon Goddess) ~ “Well Selene, it looks like you found a way to interfere without actually being there, didn’t you?” “I told you, don’t tell me I can’t help my children. Did you want to be bothered with Hades? Neither did I.” I said back to him. “You're lucky we grew close to the girl from birth. I wouldn’t let this pass for just anyone. Their powers would have come eventually without your interference.” He said back to me. “Yeah, then we would have all been down there fighting to send Hades back to hell! All you want to do is sit on that throne and watch everything like it’s a soap opera. Loosen up, will you! We are going to see the first baby Lycan being born, and I can’t WAIT!” He rubbed his face like he was exhausted because of me, but I saw his grin. He didn’t want to admit it, but he would have interfered if I hadn't. ~ Harper’s POV ~ We finally made it back to the packhouse. The battle lasted overnight, and the sun wa
~ Harper's POV~ My eyes shot open, and I jerked straight up. Fear gripped me as memories of last night slowly trickled back into my mind. I screamed as it felt like my soul was leaving my body. It was so long and hard with a force that made my lungs burn. I didn’t care to control the tears streaming down my face as my wailing continued to fill the dark space around me. Images flashed through my mind. My mother, my father, both gone. My cries pleading for mercy fell on deaf ears and hardened hearts. The sad eyes of my parents staring at me seared into my mind. The hollow feeling where my heart once beat was a constant reminder of how alone I am. There are no words to describe the man responsible for my heartache. He took my life from me in the most gruesome and sadistic way imaginable. A cold chill rolled over my bare chest and arms causing goosebumps to rise all over my body. I lifted my hands to wipe my eyes. The light of the moon was shining through a window too small for me to f
~ Harper’s POV ~A couple of weeks passed. I was in an actual bedroom now with a conjoined bathroom. I decided I was going to either escape or die trying. The last words my father said to me rang loud in my mind ‘never forget who you are. You are strong and a fighter. You will live through this. Remember that your mother and I love you so much…’ If I didn’t make It out for me, I would make it out for them. I decided it was best if I kept my head down and didn’t argue or fight. All those things go against my mind and body. Pride and stubbornness being the main driving force in my personality. I pretended to accept Alpha Thane and his plan for me. I had to force myself to act mean to the servants and guards. Purposefully yelling and breaking things then immediately making them clean it all up. I treated them like I was better than them. It was hard for me to do this because I was the exact opposite of all of this. When I got the chance, I apologized to the servants. They didn’t deserve
~ Harper’s POV ~I couldn’t control my nervousness no matter how hard I tried. I wasn’t scared, but there was just something about meeting a new alpha. My life was literally in his hands at this moment. “What if he doesn’t accept me?” I whispered to Kelly. “Oh! shush… you have nothing to worry about. If you are a good person alpha will sense that. The only ones he ever rejects are the ones with ill intent. I can tell you are a good person. Try not to worry and tell him your story.” Kelly didn’t know all of what I had been through the last few days. All I told her is that I was running from someone vile and awful. I gave Kelly a nod signaling her to go ahead and knock on the door. Before the door opened all the way I paused to catch my breath and gather my nerves. Walking into the large office, I willed myself to look as calm and confident as possible. The first thing I noticed was the smell… cedar and pine? It was a natural smell that pulled my attention toward the source of
