The Princess's Bride

Chapter Eleven

Craig was running through the woods in the attempt to evade Zeus and Orien's hellhounds. They were sent after Craig to capture him so they could get information on Talan's army. Craig knew if he was caught, he would die a horrible death. He would die no matter what he said or did.

His only chance at survival is to run. He can't let them catch him. He could hear them in the distance. Even after running this long, it seems like the hellhounds manage to find his tracks easily. He was getting tired from the running. They had been on his trail for 2 days. It was only by chance he found out they were coming for him anyway. He was hiding in a place that should be masking his scent but if he didn't think of a plan soon, they would find him.

Craig had been sitting and waiting for the hounds to go by his hiding area. He had heard them coming at one point. They have a distinct howl. It almost tears through the soul of the person who hears it. Only the targeted can hear their howl. Craig had fallen to sleep after days of no sleep.

He sunk into such a deep sleep that he didn't hear the hellhounds until it was too late. They had found him. He didn't have time to react before they had him. With one gulp the first hound swallowed him whole. It is how they carry them to the Zeus. Being inside of a hellhound is torture in and of itself.

Craig is vomited out of the hound's stomach at Zeus's feet.

"Well, Craig you have made me wait too long for the information I want. So let's get right to this." Craig was so weak and disoriented that they didn't even have to tie him up. He wasn't going anywhere anyway.

"You are going to tell me what Talan's plan is. I want every detail. I also want to know how he plans to use Rose and Thana in his army. How did he even get them on his side?" Craig couldn't stand and the slime that came out with him from the hound made it impossible for him to see.

"I will tell you nothing. You go right ahead and torture me more. I won't speak." Zeus took a silver dagger and ran the blade on Craig's skin. Craig laugh.

"We have been taught how to endure the pain of silver. Sure it still causes physical damage but the pain is nothing." Zeus became angry. It was clear he wasn't going to get any information this way.

He nod and Orien grab Craig by the head. Orien had the power to read minds. So if the info was in there, he would see it.

"Let's give him some water shall we." They put the water into a silver goblet. It burned his lips almost completely off.

"Well, you weren't talking so why do you need lips anyways." Orien turns to Zeus.

"I have what we want."

"Perfect. How about one more drink before you die." Zeus picks up another goblet and put it to Craig's lips.

"I know they taught you to endure the pain of being touched by the silver." Zeus pours the liquid down Craig's throat.

"But did they teach you how to endure the pain of drinking silver?" Craig's eyes widened even if he couldn't see out of them.

The silver spreads slowly, liquefying every organ. It is a slow and agonizing death. Craig tried to scream but when he opened his mouth, blood and his liquefied tongue came pouring out.

"Your stomach is being eaten away by the silver. As soon as it reaches the rest of your organs you will feel nothing but pain."

They all watch as Craig's body turns into a pool of blood and boiling flesh. He was completely conscious as the silver ate its way through everything. A whole began to form on his stomach as the silver reached the outside flesh. Fragments of bones flowed out with the liquid organs.

The metallic smell of blood and death filled the air. Soon the silver had even separated Craig's head from the rest of his body.

"Get a jar. Collect the liquid remains and put it in the jar. Then put what is left of his head in another jar. We are going to send them back to the 'mighty' Talan." Zeus and Orien smile at their victory.

"I can't wait to do this to Talan."

The next morning, Ricca and Luce just arrived from their grocery shopping when an unidentified car suddenly drives through their drive away and threw something at their feet.

"f**k YOU MORAG'S!!!" The figure shouted before driving away. Ricca and Luce look at each other and slowly walk towards a package on the ground.

Ricca slowly kneels and took the package. As she tears the wrappers off, what's inside made her threw the package away from her. Luce was confused and kneel to examine it. "

OH, MY GOD!!...... CYRAN!!!!!" Luce calls out for her Husband. Immediately Cyran ran towards his wife's voice and startled by what had happened.

He saw his sister in law and wife on the earth's ground, pointing at a package.

"What's happening?!" Cyran walks towards his wife and Sister in law.

"There's a head in that package!" Cyran turns pale. He's not fond of seeing a severely wounded head.

"Seriously?" Rose ask Moana as they both walk outside.

"Yup. He's scared of it." Rose shake her head. Moana fixes her robe and watches as Rose walks towards the package.

"Seriously? Is that muscle only for show?" Rose asked Cyran who is shaking. Cyran felt he's being degrading by a woman. But he shakes the feelings off.

He really doesn't want to look at the package content. Rose picks up the package and examines the content.

"Damn. I smell... Silver. He's been torture inside out." Rose noticed a note written for Talan.

"Bring this note to your father." Cyran took the note and gasped.

"The Red Sphinx?!"

"Exactly my brother in law. They’re declaring war."

"You're not even official with Moana, don’t call me that," Rose smirk.

"We did," Rose said and show Moana's mark on her neck. Cyran was shocked to see such a big bite.

"Your Sister is a feisty one," Rose said and whistled.

"Why are you whistling?"

"I'm calling my dad’s slaves." Cyran ran towards his Wife and...... Hide?

Moana walks towards Rose and look inside the package.

"That's Craig Myra," Moana said.

"You know him?" Moana nod.

"He's one of our deltas." Suddenly a black hole like portal appeared in front of them. Moana was startled and grab Rose's arm.

"Relax. It's just the portal to hell."

"Just portal to hell?!" Ricca said.

A creature pops out of the portal and bow to Rose and Moana. Moana was looking at this... Corpse-like creature and wonder what it is. Is it the undead?.

"Sent this head to my Father. Tell him it's a gift from Rose." The creature nod and snow again and disappear with the portal.

"What is that?" Luce asked.

"Demons. They doing all the dirty work in my dad's world... That reminds me.." Rose turns to Moana.

"You should meet my parents." Moana's eyes widen.

"Meet who?" She asked again.

"My parents. I'm not sure if they will stay long in a room together but hey, worth a shot."

"I don't know if I'm ready to meet Satan and archangel, two most powerful beings in the realm." Rose chuckles.

"I promise, they both... Okay for such opposite mix." Moana looks at her sisters in law. They offer a soft smile and nod. Moana having seconds thoughts. What if Rose parents hated her?

"My parents will not hate you... I can hear your thoughts." Moana made a decision.

"Okay. I will. If Essence can meet the queens, I can meet Satan and archangel." Rose smile.

She then kisses Moana on the cheek.

***

Cyran knocks on her dad's office.

"Dad... Here." Cyran handed the note to his dad and walked out. Talan looks at the note and his expression turned grim.

"Son of a b***h!!!" Talan yells and tears the note. Ardra walks in as Talan threw the tore paper to the floor.

"What happened?" Ardra asks her Husband. Talan didn't say anything.

"Our daughter-in-laws found a body less man outside out mansion Talan, tell me what's wrong!" Ardra commanded. Talan knows better than to lie to his Luna.

"Zeus want to start a war." He said. Ardra's eyes widen.

"Zeus?! He's alive?" Talan nod.

"Ardra our kids might be in danger," Talan said.

"Mondo might be a future Alpha but he has a lot to learn. Especially in combat. Cyran..... He's scared of a little blood! I don’t mind about Moana and Essence because they both have a reliable mate that could protect them. But how about our in-laws? Ricca is carrying our grandchild." Ardra went to her husband side.

"I hate to say this but it's your fault. You pressure them too much and look what you achieved with your proud boys. Essence is getting better at combat rather than his brother because Thana trained her. I told you to be fair Talan. But you didn't." Talan didn't say anything. He knows it's his fault.

"What should I do Ardra?" Ardra turns her husband's face to meet hers.

"Train your boys Talan. That's what they need. They need to start thinking to protect their own family. They shouldn't rely on us anymore. They both adults." Talan nod.

"I don't know if you've noticed, but Moana is mated." Talan's eyes widen.

"How did you...."

"I heard them... And I saw Rose's mark on Moana's neck." Talan looks uneasy.

"So they did it?" Ardra nod.

"Apparently so."

"What if we have to deal with Satan and the archangel after this?" Ardra smiles softly.

"I think Rose will not let that happen." Talan looks at his Wife.

"Why are you so sure about that?"

"Because I have eyes Talan. I saw how Rose looks at our daughter. It's love, pure love. It's like when I saw how Thana looks at Essence." Talan chuckle. Ardra was so surprised to see that.

"Are you... Chuckling?" Talan nod.

"It's amazing how our daughters get to be mates with two most powerful being in this realm."

"And both girls with... Extra packages." Ardra smile.

"Well, they both lucky." Talan leans in to kiss his Wife.

"I love you, Ardra."

"I love you too Talan."

"You are improving," Thana said. Essence turns back into human form with naked body landed on Thana.

"Are you really that eager?" Thana said with a smile.

"I didn't say you had to move." Essence laugh.

"Your speed is getting better as well."

"Training with you is what is helping." Thana stands up.

"Why don't we take a break and eat?" Essence stood along with her. Thana was trying her best to keep her focus off of Essence' beautiful form. Her body was flawless.

'Thana get yourself under control. You are here to train.'

Thana said to herself trying to control the erection that was only getting bigger.

"The lake is perfect for this. I am so glad you thought of it Thana. It is so much easier to focus here." Essence gazing at the lake. When Essence didn't receive much of a response from Thana, she turns to her.

"Thana, are you ok?" Thana quickly responded.

"Yes of course." Essence sat next to where Thana was bent over getting the food ready.

"Thana would you like some help with that?" Thana shook her head.

"No, I have it almost all ready." Essence put her hand on Thana's arm.

"I didn't mean with the food." Essence looks down at the bulge Thana had in her tight pants.

Thana sigh.

"I'm sorry. I should be able to control it." Essence shook her head.

"Are you kidding me? I love the reaction you have for me. I just feel bad because you have to deal with it alone. Let me help you."

"No. It is not your birthday yet." Thana wanted to stand but Essence pulls her back down put into her lap.

"That doesn't mean I can’t help you take care of this." Essence put her hand on top of the bulge. Thana's eyes close and a moan escaped her mouth. Essence kiss her neck. Then whisper.

"Can I help you now?" Thana very eagerly nod.

"Yes please." Essence lifted Thana so that she could pull her pants off. Essence could now see the shaft.

She wrapped her hand around the bottom and pull up. Her hand made its way up to the tip of the Thana’s shaft.

"Tighter please." Essence smile.

"It would be my pleasure." Essence ran her hand back up and down the shaft applying more pressure. It only took a few strokes before Thana erupted in orgasm.

Essence continued to run her hand up and down while Thana finished.

"That was amazing." Thana looks down.

"I made a mess."

"We made it together and it was a lot of fun making it." They both began laughing.

"What do you say we go clean up." Essence said as she nods toward the lake.

"You want to take a swim with me?"

"I would love to." Thana strips off the remaining of her clothes and together they dove into the water. They came up in each other's arms.

"You know I saw you the other day watching a woman with her children." Essence said.

"I was just looking at them," Thana responded.

"Yes, but you kept watching them. I was just wondering if you love kids." Thana smile.

“I love kids. I just never really thought of having any of my own until recently."

"And when you thought about it, what did you think?" Thana places a gentle kiss on Essence’s lips.

"I was thinking maybe we should only have like 20 kids." The look on Essence face made Thana laugh.

"I'm only kidding. I do want kids but I haven't thought enough about it to know how many kids exactly." Essence looked relieved.

"I should drown you for that," Thana smirks and splash Essence with the water.

"Oh, it is going to be like that is it?" Thana dove under the water and Essence took off after her.

Lucifer was admiring a group of women when Octavia made herself present.

"Well well well... Looks who's here." Lucifer turns with a smirk.

"Octavia..."

"Hey, Luci." Lucifer smiled evilly.

"I've missed you..." Lucifer said. Octavia waves him off.

"I don't. I'm here for Rose and she so calls mate." Lucifer turns away.

"You never change Octavia." Octavia walks towards a bench and sit down.

"Why should I changed Luci?" She asked while fixing her white dress.

"Remember our one night we conceived Rose?" Octavia sigh.

"Luci... Stop using your charm on me. That's what gets me to conceived Rose in the first place." Lucifer ran his fingers through his fiery hair.

"I am the king of the underworld, that's what I do. Luring angels like you to have s*x with me," Octavia smiled.

"Well Luci, Rose was the best thing that happened to me. And for you, I bet there's a lot of kids out there is yours." Lucifer chuckle.

"None of them worthy like Rose, Via. They all weak, unlike our kid."

"Well, I'm flattered." They both turn to the voice and smile.

"Rose honey... And... Mate..." Octavia looks through Moana.

"A werewolf." Moana moves backward towards Rose's back. Moana was nervous. Now that she saw how intimidating Rose's parents are, she's afraid. Moana was admiring the beautiful woman with blonde hair and a floral crown on her head.

She must be the archangel. Her white dress gives it all, compliment every curve she has and her face is the real definition of beauty. Moana met Satan before, but something different. He's been watching this angel for minutes and it seems he smiles once in a while.

"Mom... This is Moana. Moana Morag." Octavia smile.

"Hello, Moana..... I can see my Rose had to mark you." Moana blushed.

"Come out dear child. I need to see you." Octavia said. Moana hesitant at first but Rose gave her a soft smile.

Moana took a deep breath and moves from Rose's behind. Lucifer turns his gaze to Moana.

"You both had s*x?" Rose and Moana blushed.

"You realize she's a hybrid. Can you carry my grandchild?" Octavia glared at Lucifer.

"Shut up Luci," Octavia walk forward and smile softly.

"Don't listen to him. He's a d**k. As always." Moana nod. Lucifer walks forward and touches Moana's temple. Mona screams in pain as Lucifer used his power on her. Rose was about to punch her dad when Octavia stop her.

"Don't. Let your Father do his stuff. I will cure her if your father left a mark or so." Rose retrieved her fist and took a deep breath. Octavia watches closely as his... Ex-companion tries to find out Moana’s true form.

"The Daughter of a great warrior. I approve." Octavia examines the marks on Moana's temple.

"A little burn. I can fix that." Octavia reaches for a vile of elixir and traces a little to Moana's temple.

"All done." Moana slumps to the ground.

"MOANA!" Rose caught her body before hitting the ground.

"Luci you took too much." Octavia glares. Lucifer licks his lips.

"f**k it." Rose watches as her father summoning his slaves.

Satan whispers something and turns to his daughter.

"Call me if you need anything." He leans in.

"I smell hellhound all over your mate so be careful," He glares and slap Rose hard.

"How dare you sent a useless head to me." Rose smile.

"Same like you, useless," Rose said and took a couple of steps back as her father melted into the ground.

Rose walk towards her mother and hug her.

"I miss you." She said.

Octavia smiled as she hugs her daughter back.

"I'm sorry I can't be a great mother, Rose. But remember, you will always be my angel." Rose smile.

‘That’s weird when I don’t even look like one,” Rose laughs. Octavia kneels to Moana.

"Take care of her. She might have a slight temper but she's a wonderful woman." Moana smile.

"Will do," Octavia stands and waves.

"In time I will meet your parents Moana," She said and disappears into thin air. Rose helps Moana up and kiss her cheek.

"I'll send you home," Moana nod and let Rose carry her in bridal style.
