Chosen by The Fates: The prophecy

Chapter XIV - Bonds 18+

It had been hours since we found out the truth about the prophecy and the five of us were still cooped-up in my office, trying to get to some sort of a solution, yet we had nothing. What Prometheus did could not be hidden anymore. Even if I somehow ended up pardoning them, the other Houses would ask for punishment.

There was also the problem of the other Impartials. Even if we chose to trust Theo and Circe, we would have to figure out what we would tell the others and while we all agreed on letting Ambro, Selene, Des and Kora know the truth, we were on the fence about the others. Especially Heph.

“Kim, go get Ben, please.” She nodded and dashed out of the room. A couple of minutes later, they both came in. He took a seat and pulled her into his lap.

“When can the witch come?” I asked, getting straight to the point. I had no time to waste. It had been only a few hours since I had imprisoned the Impartials and the longer I had them down in the prison the more I was risking a visit from my mother. She was the last person I wanted to deal with.

“She could probably portal here today or tomorrow.” he answered, furring his brows. “Is it that urgent?”

“Yes. The Impartials are currently in the new basement prisons that Devora designed.” I looked him in the eyes, waiting to see if he had anything to say.

“Cool, did anyone sing yet?” his eyes sparkled mischievously.

“Oh, they sang, alright. That’s why I need the witch.”

“I’ll get to it. Tomorrow, good enough? Today is a bit short notice and I’m not sure if she can drop everything like that.” I nodded and he stood up and took out his phone, stepping outside to make the phone call. After a while, he stepped back in and took his chair back, nodding at me.

“Here’s what we’re going to do. Tomorrow I will meet with the witch Ben has advised might have information regarding the prophecy. If it turns out she confirms what Prometheus told us, we will let them go. We’ll decide on the when and how tomorrow after the meeting. At the moment, we’ve been in this office for way too long and came up empty. We’ll see what tomorrow brings. If any of you think of anything, mind-link me. Kerbe, make sure all the trackers, warriors, archers and assassins are training consistently. Larna, make sure that no one is leaving the pack borders starting today until after the Council meeting and begin ISP immediately. Kim, send out teams to keep an eye on the territories around, especially the hunters and the witches. Grab some of my men and, if needed, extract information. Work with Larna on the ISP and don’t stir too much s**t up. Try to find out what you can about the hybrids going missing, in the process, if you can. For now, everything stays as it is. See me in my office tomorrow afternoon after the meeting with the witch.” I took a deep breath and continued. “Please, let’s all make sure that my mother doesn’t make it into the territory, through any means. I will speak to Stella and make sure she can’t portal here at her whim. That’s all for now, everyone is dismissed for the evening.” They all nodded and left the room, leaving me and Devora alone.

I pulled her into my lap and hid my face in her neck. She smelled f*****g delicious, being close to her like this was making me hard. I turned her around and placed her on my desk, settling between her open legs. Her scent, along with the throbbing of her jugular vein made my fangs extend. I felt her shudder when my fangs grazed her neck.

“Your scent is f*****g devine.” I said, taking a deep breath of her scent. "I wish I could damn the whole world and disappear with you.” I kissed her lips and pulled away. “I’d love to lose myself in you every f*****g minute.” I whispered and kissed her neck, grabbing and squeezing her ass. She let out a moan, her arousal intensified her cherry cake scent, forcing me to let out a low growl. Her dress had ridden up slightly, offering me a peek at the creamy skin of her long legs. She opened her legs wider and her scent hit me like a brick wall, making Jax go feral to the point where he almost took over.

“You need to stop teasing, Devora" A low growl escaped my throat. “You’re making me lose control over Jax.” I said, kissing her collarbone,going up her neck and biting gently on her earlobe.

“Jax is your wolf?” She asked between moans.

“He is, yes. He is also very eager to meet you.” I dropped one of the straps of her dress, kissing her shoulder.

“Maybe you should let him.” She said and dropped the other strap of her dress. Her round, perky mounds spilled out of her dress in the motion. My eyes instantly were on the two perfect orbs, lust flowing through the bond at a fast pace. As if in a trance, my hands went up and cupped them, squeezing them gently as my mouth captured one of the aching peaks.

“Are you sure?” I asked, pulling away from her pert n****e, earning a whimper from her.

“Yes, I am sure.” She said and kissed me, pouring all her need into the kiss. Jax was pacing in my subconscious like a dog in heat, eager to spend time with our mate.

‘Can I trust that you won’t hurt her?’ he bared his fangs at me, irritated at my question.

‘I would never hurt her, you know this, stupid boy.’ he huffed in annoyance.

‘If you scare her I will lock you away and you’ll never touch her again. Do you understand me?’

‘Our mate is strong and fearless, she won’t be scared of us. We would never hurt her’. I nodded and relinquished control. I was now the one stuck in the subconscious of my own mind, while Jax was meeting our mate.

“Hello, mate.” he smiled and grabbed her neck, pulling her roughly closer to our mouth. “No wonder pretty boy can barely keep his fangs away. You are a delight.” He plunged his tongue into her mouth and circled hers while one of his hands went down between her legs, pulling her panties to the side while he roughly rubbed her sensitive c**t. She moaned in his mouth and pulled apart from his lips when he dove deep into her warm core.

“So wet. So beautiful.” he licked our mark and then bit one of her n*****s. The bite made Devora arch her back, close to reaching her climax. He went back to her neck and bit down on her mark, tremors of ecstasy taking over her body, her core clenching down on our fingers. She screamed out his name and pulled him down into an even needier kiss.

“Not yet, my Queen. Your powers as well as Killian's are still adapting, once you complete the bond and your ousia settles, you will be ready to be mine." He spoke while trailing kisses down her neck.

"We already marked each other and mated. What do you mean to complete the bond?" she asked, confused just as I was.

"The bond is not sealed. Due to the amount of ousia that both of you possess, the marking and mating have only bonded your bodies and minds. To bind the soul you will need to feed from each other." Jax was on the verge of losing control when I decided to take over. As soon as I did, Devora noticed and welcomed me.

"Welcome back, my King." She whispered in a sultry voice. I could feel her arousal and considering Jax had left her wanting more, I was more than happy to provide our mate with anything she needed.

"My Queen." I grabbed her neck and whispered in her ear "Tell me what you need from me." I lowered my mouth and nibbled on her mark, earning a very aroused moan from my mate.

"I need you… to f**k me." She answered in between moans.

Did she not have any idea what she was doing to me? Did she not know the effect she had on me?

"Very well, your wish is my command." I pulled her from the desk into my arms and, before she realised, I had brought us into our room. Instead of laying her down in bed, I decided to sit on the couch, her small body stradling mine, her legs on each side of me. Her tongue circled mine, making it hard to remember what was going on. She then bit my lower lip and all control dissipated. I grabbed both her wrists in one of mine and secured them behind her back while I brought her neck closer to me. Her scent was mouth-watering and I couldn't wait to sink my fangs into the thin creamy skin of her neck. I ripped her clothes off and then mine and entered her fully, desperate to feel her again. She started grinding her hips, her speed increasing as her inner walls were getting tighter around me. I let go of her hands and grabbed her ass. I lifted her slightly before I slammed into her over and over again, pushing her over the edge. As she was lost in the overwhelming pleasure of her orgasm, I pulled her closer to me. I kissed her neck, eliciting more moans from Devora, little spasms still coursing through her body as the aftermath of the build-up pleasure. She tilted her head to the side, giving me more access. I grabbed her neck and brought it to my mouth, feeling my fangs extended. As soon as my fangs came out, my most primal instincts kicked in and I sunk them hard into her neck, the smell of her fear and arousal floating in the air like the most exotic perfume ever to exist.

"Mmmm, f**k. This feels sooo good." She moaned.

The thick, warm liquid flooded my mouth, a delectable hint of chocolate and cherries in her blood. Never in my life had I ever tasted something this exquisite. Her blood was addictive. The more I got, the more I wanted.

She started moving her hips again, whilst my fangs were still in her neck, savouring the sweet liquid. As my gulps were getting greedier, so was she, her speed increasing until she reached her orgasm again. Her small body writhing in pleasure. As soon as she reached her climax, I retracted my fangs from her neck and licked the wounds shut.

"Wow, I never knew this felt so good." She said, leaning over and kissing me.

"Yeah, feeding from your mate is another level of intimacy." I kissed her lips gently. She pulled away and rested her forehead on mine.

"Well, then." She said, a glint of mischief in her eyes. As our faces were only inches apart, she put her hands on my neck and opened her mouth. I could feel the ousia in my body rushing to my head, forcing me to open my mouth. She greedily inhaled my ousia and as soon as it reached her body I could feel her presence in my mind, the intertwining of our souls and our ousia. The bond was now fully in effect, our minds, bodies and souls connected for the rest of our lives.

I was too entranced to do anything, the whole transfer was sensual, slowly pushing me towards the edge. As she was pulling more and more of my ousia into her body, I could feel her presence in my mind and soul, letting me know no matter where she was, from now on I would find her. She continued feeding on my ousia and I subconsciously started moving inside her. Slowly at first, increasing my pace as she pushed me closer to the edge. I could feel her walls constricting down on me, her orgasm nearing as well. She started pulling more ousia, screaming my name as she fell over the edge, pulling me with her in an earth-shattering orgasm.

"f**k!" I growled and pulled her closer, filling her up with my seed. We stayed like that until we both came down from the high. I picked her up in my arms and took her into the ensuite bathroom.

I placed her on the marble counters while I ran the bath, her eyes following my every move. Once the bathtub filled with warm water, I picked her up again and stepped into the tub with her in my arms. She rested her back on my chest and threw her head on my shoulder, kissing my neck. I picked up a bath cloth and started washing her skin. When I was done, I poured some shampoo in my hand and massaged it into her hair and scalp. She sighed and relaxed against my chest. I rinsed her hair and kissed her forehead. She turned around and smiled at me.

"Your turn." I smiled as she started washing me, the same way I had washed her. Her gentle hands moved the cloth against my skin as if she was memorising every inch of my skin. Her fingers traced along my jaw and made their way to my lips, leaving trails of sparks behind them.

“I’ve never felt this kind of intimacy.” She looked in my eyes with the same vulnerability I saw when she showed me her memories. As much as I loved seeing her opening up to me, I couldn’t bear seeing her like that.

“Good.” I smiled, pecking her lips. “If you did I’d have to go on a murder spree.” she chuckled.

“There’s no need for that. None of us had been exactly innocent before we met each other and there’s no reason to go on murder sprees…” She smiled lovingly. “As long as the past stays in the past.” her smile quickly changed into a wicked one and I didn’t doubt that she was true to her words. I pulled her into a kiss and let all of my emotions run free through the bond.

“There’s no need. I’m yours and only yours. There is no one that could even come close to you, love.” Just as she leaned in to kiss me, her stomach made a loud growling sound. Her cheeks burned a bright pink colour and she looked away from me.

“I’m sorry. I..” she stuttered, embarrassed at the whole moment. I, on the other hand, had never seen anything this adorable. I had seen her aggressive and dominant side, which I loved to bits, but now she was also showing me the cute and shy part of her personality.

“For being hungry?” I chuckled and kissed her nose. “Come on, let’s get out and get you fed.” I got out of the tub and pulled a towel around my waist. I got another towel and wrapped her in it before taking her out. I dabbed the water off her body and led her into the bedroom. I stepped into the walk-in closet and fished out a T-shirt and a pair of shorts for her to wear.

“I can get dressed by myself, thank you.” She rolled her eyes at me, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

“Okay, you put them on and I’ll take them off. How about that?” I pulled her into my arms and kissed her.

“Deal.” We both got dressed in silence, appreciating every minute I had with her. There was no awkwardness between us, everything just fell right into place. She was mine and only mine and no one would ever dare take her away from me. I would make sure of it.

“Come on, let’s get you fed, little beast.”

As we stepped out of our bedroom, a whole welcoming committee was waiting at the door. Kim, Ben, Larna and Kerbe were all wearing confused looks on their faces.

"Yes…? Is there a reason why you're all guarding the door?" I raised a brow in indignation. Devora chuckled from behind me at the sight.

"You didn't feel it?" Larna asked, shock dancing on her face.

"Feel what? Just spit it out already!" I huffed, losing my patience. All I wanted was some alone time with my mate. Was that too much to ask?

"Killian, whatever happened between you two shook the whole territory. Like a massive power surge. Everyone felt it." She grabbed my shoulders and looked into my eyes. I just looked back at her and couldn’t help the grin that was now spreading on my face.

"There's more. Our allegiances have been activated." Kim said, stepping forward from behind her siblings. "We belong to you, our Queen." She continued, both her and Ben kneeled in front of their Queen. Almost like in a trance, Devora's eyes turned completely red and her hands started burning with purple and deep blue flames.

She walked in between them and placed a hand on each of their shoulders. Her right hand fell gracefully on Kim's right shoulder, while her left hand found her place on Ben's left shoulder.

The sight was mesmerising. The flames left her hands and enveloped her champions completely, their eyes glowing the soft colour of her flames, marking both the beast and the human in them.

They never winced in pain, an indicator of the fact that claiming them wasn't hurtful to either party. I glanced at Kerbe and Larna to see if they were as mesmerised as I was and I saw them kneeling in front of me. My instincts kicked in, both my vampire and werewolf sides perfectly in sync. I walked next to them and extended my claws. My right hand found the back of Kerbe's neck while my left hand rested on Larna's. Without hesitation, I pierced the back of their necks, claiming them as mine. I could feel the chaos in me stirring, urging to reach them and envelop them in my essence. Their entire being shook as my ousia reached their blood and solidified the bond. A soft gold glimmer washed over them. So subtle I could've thought it was a figment of my imagination. I was brought out of my thoughts by Kerbe’s voice:

“Wow. That was an experience.” He laughed. “Does that mean we are your bitches now?”

“As if you weren’t before.” I tossed one of my arms over his shoulder and caught him in a headlock. “Come, let’s get something to eat. We’re hungry.” I said, pulling him over to the kitchen on our floor. Ben joined us, jabbing at Kerbe’s ribs every now and again. The girls fell behind, having a laugh at our childish behaviour. Everyone seemed genuinely happy, any sign of animosity between the girls seemed to have vanished, although I knew they would be best friends as soon as they got to know each other. After all, Kim and Larna have been my best friends since we were three years old, of course, along with their brother, and Devora was my mate. This is how it should be.
