She stayed in the clouds, looking down upon the humans as she helped them fall in love. She stayed in the clouds, watching as the celestial beings found their mates. She did not...

It was so hard trying to contain Eos from pouncing on his mate. She was powerful so he knew she could take all of him.
He was made for her and he'd do anything to show her how much he wanted her. They were getting ready for the welcoming party of the goddesses and Aphrodite wanted to supply the food since it was so many people and not enough cooks. He was astonished how the table filled with various dishes at the snap of a finger after she learned what they were making.
Everything Lucian said couldn't be true, he thought as he watched her. The woman he was mated to had none of the bad qualities he said she had. Eos grew protective of her in a span of a few hours.
Markus watched everyone laugh and converse, waiting for his mate to show up. He had never been so eager to see someone but when it came down to her, he was anxious.
"Markus." Her soft voice whispered in his ear teasingly. "Guess who."
"A beautiful maiden?" She laughed softly and hit his arm playfully and he turned around. Her hair came down to her back in loose waves, a black dress hugging her curves that was fit for a goddess."You look beautiful."
"Thank you. You look nice as well." He offered her his hand and she took it, letting him guide her to the floor. Her head was nuzzled on his chest and she felt like the perfect fit.
"I don't deserve you..." Her soft voice spoke after a while of them treading lightly.
"You deserve me, us, and so much more. I've never felt so alive tonight.... I think I'll nickname you Angel." She chuckled at his corny line and he twirled her around, following the steps to the gentle melody. She sighed in bliss as he twirled her, lost in him and drowning out the people around them.
They danced all night, enjoying each other's company. It was hard for him to let her go when people wanted to meet her. His angel looked at him with a curious gaze. "Aren't you coming?"
His lycan grinned and immediately went to her side. He became grumpy only when others attempted to touch her, His body shielding her away from the prying hands and growled lowly.
She went to her quarters and knew her smile wouldn't disappear even in her sleep. She wished he could sleep with her, yearning to sleep in his embrace. His door was opened already and when he went inside, Lucian was sitting on his bed with a sorrowful expression.
Kids, this is what happens when you watch your mate laugh and dance with people other than you because you wanted to be a horrible person to her.
He knew his brother was the ultimate asshole but he had his reasons. "It's not going to last, you know?"
Markus sighed. "Lucian it is going to last. She is our mate and even when she danced with me all night she couldn't stop looking to see if you two would show up."
