All Chapters of Her Angels (Reverse Harem): Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

After a hot bath to soak my sore back, I dry myself off before pulling on one of Salem's shirts that I had stolen from their room, which was thankfully long enough to cover just below my butt.I make my way back downstairs to the small living room where Damien is sitting by the fireplace on a large soft fur rug.Sitting down next to him, I hold my hands out towards the fire to warm them up."I had a lot of fun today. Thank you for helping me out so that I could see the area." I tell him softly, looking over to see him with his lips pulled into a thin line before nodding his head."I'll admit... it was fun. Seeing you fail and needing help was quite amusing." he admits after a moment, his lips pulling into a smirk at the end."Although... I do still think you owe me a proper thank you and a good one at that. I did save your life, after all." he continues, and I grin as the perfect idea forms in my mind."Your right, and thankfully, I know exactly how to do it." I smirk."How is that...?

"I see you two got into the good stuff." Salem comments, taking in our predicament.Smiling excitedly, I jump off the couch and run as fast as my drunk legs will take me all the way to Salem.He opens his arms for me and I jump into them, wrapping my arms and legs around him, while nearly knocking him over in the process.Managing to catch his balance, he lets out a laugh as he wraps his arms around my waist."Nice to see you too." he states with a happy grin."I missed you... and you're cooking." I reply, holding him tightly.Seeing Salem again was like a breath of fresh air, I hadn't realized I needed."I missed you too, Angel." he chuckles sweetly."How's Crimson? Beau?" I ask, as he sets me back down on my feet."Both good and miss you, of course. They're going to hell so that they can go to the library there. Crimson thinks she may be able to find something to help since we can't hide you forever. Until then, though. She enchanted this ring for you. As long as you wear it, you wil

Sitting back down on the couch with Levi, it was evident to Damien, Lucien and Salem that we had been swimming before returning."Did you guys... swim... together?" Salem questions in surprise, observing our still damp hair."Of course not! I found her drowning and jumped into rescue her." Levi retorts with a smirk, before shooting me a playful wink."Can we get back to what's important?" Lucien groans impatiently."I just...I can't believe..." Salem stumbles over his words, in complete shock."I know but react later." Lucien replies with a sigh, before turning towards me."I told Aphrodite no." he states, making me raise my brows in surprise."You told her... no." I murmur confusion."I'm sorry, baby girl. I know it wasn't my place, but I can't just let you do that! It's my job to protect you and wither he gifted you or not, doesn't mean you should be bonded to him! You didn't get to live your full life, and this is your second chance! You will choose who you want and wither you want

For the next 3 days, I woke every day to a healthy freshly made breakfast by Salem before spending the rest of my day learning and training with Lucien and Levi.By the end of it, I'm completely exhausted both physically and mentally but it's worth every second of it. I finally understood what it truly meant to be angel and everything that came along with it. I learned about new abilities I didn't even know I had and worked hard on improving the ones I already knew of. Each day I pushed myself to the fullest, improving on every skill by the hour. Lucien helped not only with improving my flying but also on building resistance in my wings to help strength them even more to. Then together, both him and Levi helped teach me basic self-defence using both just my body and my gifts before Levi used his abilities to encircle with darkness and teach me how to fight while using my other senses to guide me. This part was by far the most challenging of them all, but it only fueled my determination

As soon as I enter Aphrodite's temple, I am immediately greeted by the Goddess herself."My sweet child! You've finally arrived!" her sweet voice rings through my ears, as she quickly approaches me and pulls me into a gentle hug.I suck in a sharp breath to stop myself from hissing out at the feel of her hot skin against mine."How are you doing? Have you eaten?" she asks softly, pulling away and scanning me from head to toe."I'm okay, asides from this heat. It started again a few hours ago." I reply with a tired sigh."I do sincerely apologize for that. We had no idea such affects would happen...but not to worry. Eros will have you properly taken care of at all times. Follow me and I will take you to him." she states, and I follow her as she leads me to Eros while mentally trying to prepare myself."Will we be doing the ritual right away?" I ask quietly."We are about to find out." she replies with a soft smile, just before stopping in front of a large dark-red heavy curtain.Pulling
