~Selene~

Nyx turns again for what feels like the millionth time. I swear she’s pacing so much that she’s going to make grooves in the floor. I’m honestly starting to get dizzy with all of her back and forth. “Must you keep doing that?” She turns to glare at me, then continues moving. “Wearing a hole in my floor isn’t going to solve anything.” I stretch out on my chaise, shifting to get comfortable. Nyx turns to me again with a grimace.

“How can you sit there and be so… so… so calm?!”

  • Three's A Crowd   CXXXIII

    ~Atlas~The pain in my chest was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced in my life. It didn’t hurt this much when I was told that my mom had walked away from us or when we found out that she hadn’t left, but she’d been killed. I never knew something could hurt this much.There’s a warm hand on my back, tracing small circles. The feeling is soothing, but I don’t want it… I don’t deserve it. My head rests on softness, but it’s different from a pillow.I’ve stopped screaming and begging for something different. My throat is dry, and there are no more tears. I’m just left with the horrific pain. I killed my brother. I ended the life of my blood brother. I can never face anyone again; I can never be forgiven. “It’s okay, my child.” I slowly lift my head, struggling against the intense desire to disappear.

    ~Nyx~I stand and watch Adolf lose his sh.it. He huffs and puffs for a while, his eyes shut. I’m sure he’s trying to contact his human, but that isn’t happening. His connection with Ares has been severed by me.When that doesn’t work, he runs toward the others, but he moves right through them like a gas. It’s kind of funny, and if this weren’t a dire situation, I’d probably laugh at him. I can laugh later, right now, I will let him exhaust himself.His growl is strong enough to shake the trees if they were in the same plane that we are in. Adolf turns his head toward us and sneers. All of his teeth are visible, and there’s saliva dripping off the sharp tips. What did you do?!I scoff and roll my eyes. “What are you talking about?”Don’t play with me, bitch! Wh

    ~Ares~Everything was going good, I swear it was. I had Atlas dead to rights, and I was going to finish the job. I’m not a sentimental bitch! I handle business regardless of who that business is with.I ended Akia’s parents because they were determined to take her from me. I had to let my mother go because she agreed with them and was going to put me away for ‘treatment’ as if there was anything wrong with me. My father had to go to ensure that he kept his fucking mouth shut. It was also because I was sick of him trying to interfere in my life. I say all that to say that I had no problems putting an end to Atlas, brother or not.I should have made sure that Apollo was gone. I should have, at least, made sure he was truly incapacitated if he wasn’t dead. I got ahead of myself; I got too cocky. They have always said that was a problem of mine, but I never saw t

    ~Apollo~I don’t regret joining Atlas in his fight against Ares, but I wasn’t prepared. I can’t say how long it’s been since I’ve gone against Ares, but it’s clear that it’s been a long time. I’m not sure how much help I’m being to Atlas, but I have to keep going.My fists fly along with my feet. I’m catching hits and landing a few. It seems like every time I go down, Atlas takes over, and the same happens when he gets hit. Ares is no slouch when it comes to fighting, and he has mania on his side. Fighting someone in a manic state is very different than anything else.I keep going, ignoring the exhaustion that’s starting to set in and the pain that’s radiating all over my body. I have to pretend that I’m invincible. If I give in even slightly, I will lose everything and that includes Akia.

  • Three's A Crowd   CXXIX

    The flurry of activity that follows becomes a blur to those watching. There are fists and feet flying. There are punches and kicks being delivered all over the place. Once one brother gets knocked down, another follows soon after. It becomes a comical dance for anyone who doesn’t have any skin in the game.Akia has uncurled from herself and has been watching this battle with horror. Her mates are fighting each other, and she can’t see a way to intervene. A part of her isn’t even sure that she wants to intervene.If this plays out, someone will be eliminated. If Ares were the one who ends up on the short end, that would be good for her. Akia will beagle to focus on her other mates and won’t have to hide anymore. As true as that may be, Akia is still tied to Ares through the mate bond. He’s a horrible murderer, but there’s still a feeling that he was made for her.

    ~Ares~I stand and look at my brother. He’s in a fighting stance, his body rigid and face determined. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t stop the laugh that crawls up my throat. Atlas actually thinks that he’s going to go up against me, and it’s pretty funny. “Why don’t we find out exactly what I plan to do.” I continue to laugh and shake my head.“You can’t be serious! What the hell do you think you’ll really be able to do to me? You’ve always been soft, and that hasn’t changed. Don’t make me embarrass you in front of everyone.” Atlas slightly alters his stance, never taking his eyes off me.“Why don’t you try me?” I tilt my head to the side while taking him in. This situation is beyond humorous, but it is what it is.It looks like our brother would like hi

    ~Adolf~A jolt rolls through me, causing me to jump up. I look around, but there’s nothing but darkness. This time, the darkness is different; it’s familiar. Ares? My voice is soft and raspy. I don’t like that at all. I clear my throat and try again. Ares. Adolf?! What the fuck man?! Where the hel

    ~Akia~I didn’t know what to do with myself after Atlas asked me out. I’ve never really been asked out that much in my life, except for Matt and Scott. This is different because I know, or at least I hope, he won’t disappear after that. I could feel how nervous he was, and it was so cute. The only

    ~Selene~I close my eyes tighter and continue my chant. There are many deities who believe that humans are useless creatures, but I don’t share that sentiment. They bring some interesting aspects to life, and I’ve been guilty of indulging once or twice.Meditation was something that drew me in the

    Breakfast starts innocently enough. Apollo takes over the conversation, talking about the pack. I’m invested in every word that comes out of his mouth, and Atlas is invested in his meal. His cuts are precise, and nothing is messy on his plate. The meal is slightly awkward at the moment, but I’m sur
