Mated to a Demigod Chapter 14: Revelations
Chapter 14: RevelationsJamesShe looks so peaceful, sleeping with the morning sun dancing on her cheeks. It almost feels like a crime to wake her. She must be tired because I feel like I’m going to drop. “An Jieun, wake up we’re here.” She slowly opens her copper-colored eyes. She’s definitely a fox. I help An Jieun out of the car. She seems OK with holding my hand now.“You all should come with me.” I know that voice. I turn around and my oldest sister is standing in front of the hotel doors. I see her eyes go directly to An Jieun. I hid her behind me.“Am, it’s been a long night we need to sleep.” I don’t know what it is, but the way Am is looking at An Jieun is just unsettling.“This is more important than sleep. Dad, Gideon, and Logan, you need to come along as well.” Am’s face was so stiff. Was she mad? I haven’t even introduced her to my mate yet.“Am, what’s going on?” Gideon grabs my sister’s hand.With a clenched jaw she says, “Your grandmother is here.”Gideon looked shocke
Mated to a Demigod Chapter 15: Fate is Cruel
Chapter 15: Fate is CruelAn JieunWhy. It’s the only word I’m screaming in my head. Why is my kind being hunted? Why am I the unlucky one? Why? I just want to roam the forest; I don’t want any of this. I don’t want to be a Luna. I don’t want to fight witches. Why do I have to have two hearts?All I could do to stop myself from screaming was focus on my clenched fist in my lap. The harder I tightened the more my nails dug in and that little bit of pain kept me from losing it.“Grandmother, could we meet later this afternoon or evening to finish working out a plan? We haven’t slept all night and I’m not sure I can give you my best.” Alpha Gideon seemed awkward calling Ithildin grandmother. I thanked him in my head. All I wanted was to leave this room.“Yes, my dear child.” Ithildin stood up then everyone else did. “Amelie I’d like to examine the boys if you don’t mind.”“Sure grandmother.” Amelie picked up one of the babies from the floor.I was frozen. I just watched as this family fa

Chapter 16: Growing New RootsJamesWhen will everyone stop treating me like a kid? Maybe it’s my own fault, I can’t help but start acting like a kid when my family is around me. I’m so pathetic, how am I ever going to run the Ashwood pack? Hell at this point how do I expect to keep An Jieun by my side?“Uncle Jameeesss! Mommy said you would play with us.” Daisy tugs on my arm and pushes out her bottom lip. I love my nieces, but I am exhausted and so is Rafe.“Girls why don’t you play with your uncle Rylie? Daddy needs to talk with James.” Gideon and Rylie pop around the corner like my saviors. I do feel bad about passing the flowers off to Rylie. I know he’s tired too.“Don’t worry about it. I can take this much.” It’s always been like that. Like Rylie could read my thoughts or maybe I’m just that easy to read. Rylie takes Rose out of my arms, and she quickly wraps her arms around his neck.I caught her whisper into Rylie’s ear. “Secrets don’t make friends.”“Mind your business.” The

Chapter 17: The One I’ve Longed forAn JieunIs someone playing a gayageum? I open my eyes and look around and I’m in a dark forest, how did I get here? I feel drawn to the sound of the slow plucking of the silk strings. My feet are moving on their own to somewhere yet unknown. The forest feels vaguely familiar. As my body moves forward with the melody of the strings my mother’s Hanko comes into view. The music is coming from the inner courtyard. I enter the house, it’s strange, it’s like it was when Mother was alive.I’m quickly standing in front of the door to the inner courtyard and the music stops and a voice I’ve never heard but longed for shakes me to my core. “Jieun, come and sit with me. I’ve called for you, my daughter.”I slid the door open and there she was. I’ve had similar dreams all my life, but this feels so real. I sat at her feet as I have so many times but, her eyes were looking me up and down like she had never seen me before.“I see my daughter has grown into a gre
Mated to a Demigod Chapter 18: Keeping is Chill
Chapter 18: Keeping it Chill James “Umma, Umma.” Before I can even open my eyes, Rafe has us up on our feet in a defensive stance. I’m facing the door; I can hear my heartbeat in my head. What’s going on? Why is Jieun yelling? Who’s here? “What is it? Are you Ok? What happened?” I hear her take a deep breath with a huff, “What are you doing?” “Ummm… You were yelling Oh My. I thought someone was coming into the room.” My adrenaline is still pumping, and I’m frozen in place. “No. Why you in my room?” I drop my hands. That kinda hurts. She’s my mate and doesn’t want me in the same room. “Remember what Gideon said. We have to help her grow new roots. Don’t be hurt just be calm.” Rafe being the ever-wise wolf always keeps me level. I take a second and put my words together carefully. “I didn’t think it would be safe to leave you in a room alone with all that’s going on.” I turn to face her. When I do I take a step back. “Whoa, never seen that before?” “What?” Jieun tilts her head,
Mated to a Demigod Chapter 1: Kiss of Death
Chapter 1: Kiss of Death An Jieun “Ugh. Another one is coming.” I smelled the distinct scent of a dirty dog approaching my cabin. “Maybe we can convince them to leave this time?” Kwan, my wolf, was too optimistic. These pests kept coming. I roll my eyes and don’t answer her. Honestly, it was annoying to share a being with her most days. I sat down at the table to drink the tea I had just prepared and waited for the door to open. It wasn’t this bad before, but now that I’m 18, some of the unmated males of the pack come to find out if I’m their mate. Of course, I’m not. Why would the goddess give a half-breed like me a fated mate? I have a wolf, but unlike my father, I do not have a human side; my over half is Gumiho, a nine-tailed fox god. Well, depending on who you ask, they might say that a Gumiho is a demoness, not a goddess. “An Jieun, I think you are my mate. I’m coming in.” My door opens, and a giant male steps over the threshold. I click my tongue when I see he doesn’t tak
Mated to a Demigod Chapter 2: Hot Springs
Chapter 2: Hot SpringsJames“Thud” I toss my suitcase next to the bed.“Plop” I fall face-first onto the bed. Rylie does the same thing.“That was the longest flight of my life, and I really can’t sleep on a plane,” Rylie whined, but I could agree with him more.“I know we are way too big to try and sleep in those tiny seats. Why did we get stuck in coach, but all the Alphas were up in first class?” As I Complained, I stretched out my knees and back.“Don’t get wrong, I love our nieces, but they would not sleep! Even Rose was bouncing around singing a weird song about a fox.” Rylie sat up on his elbows. We got roped into babysitting the Flowers, as we call them, so Am and Gid could take of the Trees or the other set of twins.“I feel too big for everything. Like I’m going to break something or hit my head on the door frame.” I get up to check out the bathroom. The showerhead is really low. As I turned around, I forgot to duck. “Son of a! Damn it.”Rylie let out a sigh, “Why do I feel
Mated to a Demigod Chapter 3: Escape
Chapter 3: Escape JieunDid my father honestly think this little bit of metal and plastic would keep me from leaving? This was finally my chance to run away. My house is outfitted with a security system. Every window and door has a sensor. This security system was never meant to keep me safe. It was in place to keep me a prisoner. Every time I had tried to run away previously, my father was right there to drag me back.He knew as soon as someone other than he or my brother showed up with my meal that, I would know he was out of pack territory. That’s why he put this stupid tracker on me, but I have a plan. It’s risky, but what escape plan isn’t.I look out the window and find the position of the sun. “It’s almost time.”“Don’t kill them this time. If you do, we will be caught; the Luna will feel it.” Kwan was being surprisingly supportive of my plan.“Why are you cooperating?” Usually, her loyalty sways toward the pack. I planned to leave this hell hole, and she wa
