Walking into the cafeteria holding Miles’ hand, I couldn’t help but notice the silence in the room. Every table in the cafeteria was full except one. Before they had entered the room, the noise had been loud and cheerful, full of students discussing their upcoming classes, but the moment they had entered the room, all was silent. I squeezed Miles’ hand nervously, and he answered my squeeze by bringing my hand up to his lips and placing a gentle kiss on it. Beckett and Aphelion walked in the right behind us, and I still hadn’t seen Samael this morning, not that I was looking for him. “Aphelion!” Came the hysteric cry of a black-haired green-eyed girl, she looked to be in her early twenties, and she had black raven-colored hair and eyes the color of ivy. Her eyes were heavily lined with black liner, and her lips were painted a blood red. She came running at Aphelion with her arms widespread and threw herself at him, wrapping her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist.
SAMAEL: Students started trickling into the class eager to scoop up the first row of seats. I had arrived early, having decided to skip breakfast and I took my regular seat in the back, my feet were already kicked up and my arms behind my head. I had planned to catch some zzz’s this class, since I had slept like shit last night, but I felt the pull of my mate before I noticed her presence. Aphelion and Beckett had walked her to class. They were grinning ear to ear, and Beckett said something that made her blush, before Aphelion scooped her into a kiss worthy of the greatest romance novel causing her to blush even fiercer. I could hear Beckett shouting they’d see her at lunch before leaving and making their way to sparring class. Katrina’s eyes swept the room, her gaze locking on mine. She glared at me, before taking a seat at the very front of the class, determined not to acknowledge my presence. I guess I deserved that. But the damn woman was so infuriating. She didn’t even let me f
"Okay," Miles smiles at me with that charming, panty-melting smirk. "Today, we're just going to practice a few take-downs that would work if you're in hand-to-hand combat." "Will I be in combat often?" I ask, worry apparent on my face. "Not if I can help it, Kitten." Miles replies looking at me possessively, "But if you're ever in danger, I want you to know how to protect yourself.""Okay, Show me what you got, big boy." "Easy there, kitten; first, we need to work on your stance," Miles replied, coming up and standing behind me. "This leg," He whispered into my ear, his hand running down my hip to my bare thigh before giving it a gentle squeeze, "Needs to go here." He lifts my left leg and pulls it slightly in front of me. "And this leg," His voice breathless in my ear, as he seductively runs his hand down my right side, this time going across my hip and dipping into my inner thigh slowly, "Needs to go here." He puts my right leg slightly behind me. "And now you j
Walking out of the locker room, I spotted Miles casually leaning against the wall waiting for me. “What’s the matter, kitten?” He asked, furrowing his eyebrows. “Nothing at all, handsome, just some things on my mind.” “Care to talk about them?” Miles asked, taking me into his arms, pressing a soft kiss on my forehead. “Yes, but can we talk later? I want to discuss it with all of you.”I felt Miles’s arms tighten at the mention of my other mates. He was the most possessive out of the four of them, and I knew he was trying his hardest not to be jealous.“Of course, Kitten, whatever you want,” Miles said, stepping back and taking my hands in his. “We should hurry up and get you to your next class; you’ll want to make a good impression on Professor Luca. He’s a tough teacher, and with you already being behind on your magical abilities, he’ll be even tougher on you.”“Magical Studies is about our magical abilities?” I ask as we walk down the corridor.
I could sense her powers before she walked into my classroom, she was as strong as a God, but her divine gifts were different than any I had ever encountered before. Who was she, what was she, and why did I feel the sudden need to possess her? I have never felt that need before. While I have bedded many women before, I’ve never felt connected to one. This connection I felt towards her was strange. It wasn’t one based on love and companionship like a mate bond. It was more animalistic; I felt the need to own and control her. Could she have activated the powers I’d always known were buried deep down thanks to my bloodline; the management of Loki, the God of Mischief, and Erie, the Goddess of Chaos. Did I want to possess her so I could use her powers to create chaos in the world?I hated that my divine gifts came from Loki and Iris; people flinched in my presence anywhere I went, expecting destruction to follow me. Most people didn’t know that my bloodline wasn’t that strong.
I didn't trust Luka for one minute. He was a chaos-type God, and I didn't trust his intention with my mate. And no, it had nothing to do with the fact that I wanted to spend this class getting to know Katrina better. I felt like her relationship was progressing quicker with the others than with me. Miles had an advantage over the rest of us. He met Katrina at our club and rescued her. Then there was Aphelion, the natural-born charmer, the pretty boy; every girl fell for him, so it wasn't surprising when Katrina grew closer with him this morning. And Samael had the dark, brooding thing that all women seemed to love; I'm sure he managed to make up with Katrina this morning in class. Then there was me, the shy, quiet guy. Whenever Katrina was near, I seemed to get tongue-tied and couldn't think of what to say. "Uhh, Beckett," Adriana called, disturbing my thoughts, "Could you help me? I can't seem to master shielding. Every time I try to block Ajax, his power seeps through."
Beckett, Luka, and I are sitting in the living room waiting for the others to arrive. The silence is deafening. "Sooo…" I speak up, freezing, when both of their heads turn towards me, "Are we going to discuss the elephant in the room, or are we just going to pretend that nothing happened?""Nothing did happen, Katrina." Luka responds, "Power bonding is a normal occurrence; your mate just blew it out of proportion."I turn my head to focus solely on Beckett, waiting for his response. His cheeks are tinged pink, indicating that he's embarrassed about his behavior. "You're the only woman I've allowed into my life; I've never had such strong feelings for another…." Beckett starts, but then our conversation is interrupted by the slamming of our lobby door. "Beck, Dude, What's going on?" Aphelion calls as he walks into the room."Why's Luka here?" Miles asks as he walks into the room behind Aphelion.Samael is the last to e
: "That's not what's important right now, Miles. What's important is the fact that I am a fucking monster." Katrina cried out, tears spilling from her face as she ran towards her room. I felt a lump in my throat as my heart pained for my mate. I caused this hurt. Hilda was only messing with her because of me; if I had never agreed to marry her after graduation, Katrina wouldn't be in this situation right now. I just wanted my father off of my back. From the time I was ten and just beginning to learn the ropes of the kingdom, my father had started bugging me to marry Thor's daughter, telling me it was for the good of the domain. Finally, I was sick and tired of hearing it by thirteen, so I agreed to the betrothal. When I finally met Hilda at fifteen, I wasn't entirely against the betrothal. She was an early developer and had thick full breasts that I couldn't wait to get my hands on. We had sex the first day we met, and we continued to have sex off and on until just recentl
