UrielI beamed up at Luci, his lips gently parted as he gawked at me. Loki cleared his throat, sliding down the bed and hopping on the floor. “I’ll, uh, see you,” he awkwardly waved as I waved back cheerfully. Luci’s lips still haven’t moved, his eyes never leaving my body.“What is it Luci?” I poked his cheek with my finger, giggling as non-coherent words left his lips. I don’t know why he thought this was such a shocking statement. We were mates, and he cared for me as much as I cared for him. The past few days just laying in bed, cuddling, him rubbing my tummy to make the pain go away had been heaven.We watched movies, ate chocolate and got to kiss all the time. It was my favorite thing to do, and I really hoped we could do some more. He was so addicting with his s’more tasting lips I could help but shutter in delight when he would pull me flush in with his body.

LuciferThe half octopus male smiled brightly. His teeth pointed into fangs, but his eyes held warmth for me to trust him. Barely. Uriel clutched my shirt tightly behind me while Loki continued coughing violently. I side eyed him, making sure he wasn’t trying to play a joke too soon, but the way Uriel held his hand told me otherwise. Mother had given him explicit instructions to go easy on Poseidon.“Please follow me,” Silas bowed, his tentacles turning his body in the most elegant way as we treaded down the light cobblestone colored path.The palace was something I would have never imagined for an underwater world. It stood tall, with cemented shells that shone brightly, the most colorful corals hard as steel traveled up the walls. Vines that you would normally see on lattices that would climb an ancient castle held kelp that swayed outward like it was underwater. This palace was solid, not weak in the sli

LuciferUriel looked at Poseidon like he was a magical unicorn cat with fluffy red hair. Which, I guess my uncle was some sort of weird species, considering the man hardly talked and would hide away in the basement of his palace.The room was littered with creatures big and small, creatures that shouldn’t even exist like the half spider beast with a torso similar to a muscular human and a face that had some features that looked human. Then again, looking at it, I couldn’t tell if it could speak or be anything worth intelligible as it stood on his four hind legs as it ate the meat of another animal. Its four arms gripped it tightly while munching on the shredded meat.I shivered. Even that shit was too much for me. What the hell was that thing?“This is an Archane,” Poseidon walked over to the cage. The bars were large enough for anyone’s hand to slip through. I pulled Uriel away, making sure the beast didn’t suck her into the cage and eat her as well. Poseidon let off a smile as he ap

UrielLuci pushed me in the door after I asked Silas if he had a mate. I mean, Silas could have a male mate if he wanted to. Why not? I know shifters leave marks on each other’ shoulders but I didn’t see one on his. Maybe they have a different way? It was a perfectly logical question.Luci turned the lights on in the adequately dim room. The palace was so far below the sea that it made it hard for the light sources to penetrate this far. Much bioluminescent lighting lit the area of the gardens, along with torches in the rooms. “Uriel, asking him that was unwise,” Luci loosened up the collar of his dress shirt, pulling the tie from his shirt. His fingers threaded it through, causing me to watch it intently how he wrapped it around his fingers.Why was that so hypnotic to watch? Luci’s dark eyes stared up at me, seeing that I was watching intently how he folded the tie around his fingers. “I don’t know if those monsters can have mates.” I gasped, breaking myself from the trance of his t

Hades tutted, not backing down. “That is exactly what I’m saying. Your close relationship with Hera will impede your judgment. You could be doing this out of spite of not having her, not having a mate, being jealous that Uriel is not your daughter.”Zeus threw his head back and laughed. The roaring thunder ceased and for but a moment, the skys parted and let what little light was allowed to shine on Parisa. Zeus’ finger pointed straight at Parisa. “If anything, I should blame your mate, don’t you think? She is the one who paired her with Michael.” Parisa held her child to her chest, stepping back.“You keep my mate out of this,” Hades put his hand in front of his mate. “It isn’t so simple to find your soul mate. You know this. Maybe the fates don’t want you to have one for your foolishness of cheating on someone who dared to love you.”Zeus rubbed his beard, smirking. Shaking his head, he stepped back to Hades, who still did not back away. Hades was ready for a fight, knowing this may
