Onyx Power Nap Novels & Stories

“I’ll come back to check on you, Helena. Don’t even dare to cheat and start working. My eyes are on you.” … Shifters, witches, or whisperers behind the façade of strong supernatural creatures were merely meek souls, hiding human-like shortcomings inside our heart. One of these weak points was a dire need for rest, like a battery needing to be recharged for its efficient working. That power nap also did wonders for me as I felt relaxed and composed after two hours, even Nova was up for the next battle. She was already reading to scroll when I woke up, seeing her sitting beside me put a smile on my face.

I was still itching with the sunlight, so I applied a massive amount of sunscreen that could kill the sun God himself. When I reached the air BnB that I was renting, I did not even reached my bed. I fell down on the floor and woke up and realized that it was dark. I searched for my phone in my pocket and grasped that it was almost midnight. I slept twelve hours on the floor. That is a record. The longest power nap ever. In Brooklyn, power naps are mere ten to fifteen minutes. “Damn, I really think the food and drinks here are roofied.”

The others collapsed into their seats—Hae Mina was sure they always used the same ones. Hae Mina took the unoccupied space on the long arc-shaped couch next to the double doors. She sank into the plush couch in relief. The cool fabric soothed her aching body. She knew she was tired because of the stress and lack of sleep caused by the past week's intense practices, so she decided to nap.

I was back to being a lame ass again. Sno whipped her head narrowing her eyes to her. Onyx leaned back smirking confidently into her seat unbothered, crossing her arms and inadvertently pressing her breasts up at the same time. Damn. My wolf was on the verge of coming forward once again. He didn’t care that Sno sat next to me or that we weren’t alone. I needed to get him under control. I couldn’t afford him working against me in a time where my real power was also trying to surface. But still, my eyes trailed over her body not caring who saw and daring anyone to say anything about it.

The Omega leaned his head on Nadja and yawned. “I'm giving you an hour to sleep that off, and then we're going for a walk,” Nadja said as he grabbed a blanket off of the back of the couch and draped it over Noah. Almost as soon as the elder had Noah tucked in under the blanket, the Omega was out cold. Nadja smiled and shook his head. ‘Man, these Omegas sure like to eat and sleep!’ the elder thought as he grabbed the remote and changed the channel. ….

Raphael had someone wheel in an extra bed, and Pony wasted no time curling into it like a pale disgruntled goat, snoring like she paid rent, occasionally jerking awake just to glare and remind Niya to turn off the lights. Raphael had shown up again, early, looking heavenly gorgeous except with a slightly darkened undereye which told he couldn't sleep the night before. He was flanked by a woman who brought in a portable rack of clothes for both her and Pony. It was absurdly luxurious and it was also very… him. Pony lit up like a fangirl at a secret concert. She picked through the options with a grin and a scoff that said she hated how much she loved this. And really, who wouldn’t comply?

"Nothing's going to happen. Marco and I are going out to dinner, that's all." "Right." She pursed her lips. "Well, if I were you, I think I'd still have a power nap. Put your head down for twenty minutes, take the edge off things. I'll come in and wake you up, if you like. Make sure you don't sleep too long. Or better yet... Ooh, yes." She appeared decidedly animated now. "You should have a caffeine nap. Rufus swears by them when he's got a late night gig." Rufus was the somewhat unlikely name of her latest boyfriend, a lean and wiry twenty year old who wore even more make up than Roxy herself and played drums in a local band. "A caffeine nap?" I repeated, not comprehending.

Orpheus nodded. “Alright, Miss.” Sienna patted Orpheus’s shoulder and said, “Thank you for your hard work.” “It’s no hard work at all.” Orpheus smiled. There were no such words as ‘exhaustion’ and ‘hard work’ in his setting program. As long as he had enough energy and recharged himself in time, he could work around the clock without sleep, and he could easily do eight men’s work on his own.

This is my awakened luna power? My power keeps us up all night. King Harvey puts us to bed at four in the morning and before I know it, it is noon. Right now, I stare at the clock in front of me. I have never slept in this late. King Harvey remains snoring softly beside me, with his arm draped around my waist. His sleeping face is always so smooth and peaceful. He looks as if he was carved out of stone with his high cheekbones, strong, masculine square jaw, and powerful presence.

The guilt was suffocating me. I pulled out the tiny glass vial I’d bought from an apothecary, filled with a concentrated liquid blend of Valerian root and high-dose melatonin, marketed as a "Deep Sleep Elixir." It smelled earthy and would be easily masked. Jason walked out, wrapped only in a towel, while he dried his hair with another. He looked over, an appreciative smile spreading across his face. “Sunshine, you really went all out. This place is incredible. What’s next, a full body massage?”
