I woke up this morning feeling extra wary , tomorrow is my seventeenth birthday. Ma and I were supposed to go do something fun together. However, my mom's idea of “fun” isn’t usually anywhere close to fun but she tries and it’s just me and her ever since my father died, I was only four when it happened but to this day, I can’t remember how he died. Ma just says he was sick but I find that hard to believe though. From what I remember my father was a very strong, muscular, healthy man.
Raya, my best friend , is supposed to be coming over for the night to be here in the morning for my birthday and I’m wondering where the hell she is. I decided to take a shower and get my mind out of the gutter. Ma is letting me skip school today and tomorrow. She only ever lets me do it when it’s my birthday so, woop! woop!
“Lily, breakfast is ready and Raya is here!” Ma yelled up the stairs.
“Okay mother!” I yelled back at her.
I quickly have my shower and brush my hair looking in the mirror. I see myself: light brown hair, bright blue eyes and perfectly shaped eyebrows with a sharp jawline and small face.Raya always tells me how jealous she is that I’m so beautiful but I don’t really see it. All I see is the same thing everyday and all I think is I’m a freak.
Pushing my negative thoughts aside, I look through my closet for something to wear and come up with some black jeans and a dark blue short sleeve crop top, jogging down stairs I see Raya and my Ma talking and eating breakfast .I quickly sit down beside my Ma.
“Hey Ma, thanks for breakfast,” I say and give her a quick kiss on her cheek.
“You are very welcome, lovely,” Ma says with a warm smile.
“You guys have a big day planned tomorrow !” Ma finishes. I look at Raya with an eyebrow raised because , who planned a big day? Hopefully not Ma!
My phone beeps with a notification.
“I need to run to the bathroom quick guys I’ll be right back,” I quickly mumble and run to the bathroom.
I pull my phone out and read a message from an unknown number saying, “I know what you are”. Wtf, what am I? I’m human. What is this crazy person even talking about!!?
Whatever, I can’t even with nonsense today. I start making my way out back to the kitchen when I hear Ma and Raya whispering something…
“You know she can’t find out! Tomorrow while you guys are out Magnus will be using his powers to keep her dragon hidden.. he says she keeps getting stronger each year and eventually he won’t be able to keep her contained so I need to find a stronger warlock! Her father can never find her Raya , do you understand!! You can not let her know what she is and how important she is.. she just can’t know.. I’m just trying to protect her the only way I know how..”
“Yes Athena I understand that’s why I’m here and I’ll make sure we get to Magnus at some point tomorrow and I won’t allow her to know anything, everything will work out just fine, don’t worry” as Raya finished her sentence I made it known I was coming.
I won’t let them know I heard them.. yet.
“So what’s this “big day” you have planned out Ma” I asked flatly. I’m fucking pissed that they are keeping something so serious from me.
…‘she can’t know what she is, her dragon keeps getting stronger every year’ … Like, dragon!!?! What the fuck is she talking about ‘dragon’??!
“I planned out all kinds of stuff for you guys to do tomorrow! First in the morning you guys will have breakfast at diner on route, then you’ll go to the mall and get some early shopping and of course, I’ll give you my credit card so you aren’t spending any of your own money on your birthday! After I have bowling and a hike up camel's mountain!!” She says enthusiastically
I look towards Raya and she has a faraway look on her face like she’d rather be anywhere else right now and it’s the first time I’ve noticed and I wonder how many other times she’s looked like that… Before I could dwell any longer, she suddenly says, “Awesome! We’ll have loads of fun Athena, don't you worry!” She winks at my Ma. How was I so stupid not to notice these little things?
Something weird is going on around here and I’m gonna find out exactly what it is.
Lily’s pov. “But I can,” Midnight hisses as she comes into my room through the wall in her shadow form. “Who the fuck are you!” The man yells angrily, not liking that his plan has been disrupted. The woman rushes inside of the closet now anxiously, looking at me and Midnight. “Let’s leave now!” The woman hisses, “they don’t know who we are!”“Vada Valdamir, warrior for Hades and, Coal Smith, a nobody who women can get to do anything they want,” Midnight says causally, while looking at her fingers. I almost laugh out loud and have to force it down so as to not act out right now, this is a serious situation. “You guys won’t be going anywhere. I will kill you both,” Midnight says angrily, still in her shadow form. The woman looks terrified while the man looks angry, “you can’t kill me!” Coal laughs. “Watch me,” Midnight smirks before tentacle looking shadows spread out towards them, grabbing them in a hold they can’t get out of. The woman looks like she wants to scream but can
Creed’s Pov.“Another week has gone by and we’re no closer to finding Lily,” I sigh, talking to Glenda.Lily's grandmother. She thought we’d be able to find what realm she’s in but she said something is keeping Lily hidden. She couldn’t detect any dark magic and thinks it’s even Lily doing it herself. “If she’s keeping herself hidden she has to have a very good reason for it,” she mutters, more or less talking to herself. It frustrated me at first, all I wanted was to find her but Glenda and I think she’s doing it for a reason, a reason we won’t know yet. I sigh almost dramatically for what feels like the millionth time. As I start pulling paperwork out to sort through, the last person I want to see comes into my office. “Father,” I say almost begrudgingly. I haven’t even seen him since before I found my mate, he knew I found her and knew about her ceremony and didn’t even show up. Imagine that. Instead he kept himself locked in his and my mothers matrimonial home. “What do you
Lily’s pov. Eight weeks. Eight fucking weeks. I’ve been counting down the minutes that tick by, my belly is already massive, making it harder to do anything. Hades comes and goes, his mood is always sour. He knows I want nothing to do with him right now and the healers told him it would be best if he kept his distance so as to not stress me out. The last thing they want is me to go into preterm labour or to have a miscarriage. I’m actually thankful for that, the last thing I want is to be around my kidnapper. Sighing to myself I slowly prop myself up on my bed, Sapphire still hasn’t talked to me since that night. I think about her everyday, if we’d still be in this place if I had her with me, if my powers weren’t dormant. I had felt something, my powers. They were coming back to me. My body was slowly filtering out the poison but it was like Sapphire is keeping them from me. I don’t know why but I trust her. She has to know what she’s doing, she must have a plan. And I intend to
Creed’s pov. After we showed Glenda around Lily and my room she had a faraway look on her face that perplexed Ryan and I. “I can’t sense her soul in this realm, Creed.” She says sadly, “it must mean she’s in another realm and that’s why you have not found her.”My heart starts to race in my chest and my mind reels, ‘another realm?’ I think to myself. Obviously we haven’t found her yet if she’s not even in our realm. “No wonder even the best trackers couldn’t find her, alpha,” Ryan says with a hint of hope. “How do we find which realm she’s in?” I ask, knowing it can’t be easy. Glenda has a sad, faraway look on her face as she answers me, “it’s not easy… one with the same blood can look into the realms and find her soul.”“One with the same blood…” I trail on, “Lily doesn’t have any living relatives that I know about.”“Ah, you see, that’s where you are right, child. No living relatives that either of you knew about…” she says softly, a gleam in her eyes, “that’s why I said I thin
Lily's pov. The healers are supposed to come look at me again today. She said my pregnancy is coming along great and I’m very healthy. The one healer, an older man with kind eyes and gentle hands, came to me one day. He looked at me with tender affection and grasped my hands in his while closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. When he opened his eyes he had a mischievous gleam in them and told me. “There’s multiple.”At first I didn’t understand, until later that night after he left and I laid in bed refusing to do anything, it hit me. Multiple. Babies. Two? Maybe three?I’m supposed to find out today, they’ve made a special machine that is hard to get in the underworld to check me out. It’s been eight weeks today. Everyday is harder for me, the only thing keeping me going is the life I’m growing, or lives I guess. I always wonder how Creed is doing, if he’s looking for me. If he’s moved on… I know I never will. And I’d rather die than be Hades beloved. He’s come here ofte
Creeds pov. “It’s been five fucking weeks!” I scream, while throwing everything off of my desk onto the floor with a loud crash. Alex flinches and Ryan just looks pissed off while Jason sits off by the window with a small smirk on his face that’s almost unnoticeable. I walk towards him like an angel of death, “do you have something to say?” I ask, deadly calm. “No, nothing at all,” Jason says, putting his hands up in mock surrender. I start pacing my office, gripping my hair with my hands. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Where could she be? Who could’ve taken her? Is she even okay? I keep asking myself all of these questions but every one keeps going unanswered. Every tracker, warrior or shifter I’ve sent to look for her has come back empty handed. I remember fighting beside her when all of a sudden I look behind me and she’s gone. I freaked out and started looking for her. Hunter followed her scent out into the forest but when we came upon a certain area her scent vanished into thin air.
