Shadows from the Past - Book 2 of To Be Claimed By Her

Chapter 46

Marc

Okay, on three, I need all of you to bite me at the same time.

I swear she's lost her mind, but I still did it. What shocked me was when she bit me, well, sort of. It was in my mind somehow, but I felt a surge of magic flood me then pain. Lots of pain. It felt like my skin was melting as I struggled, unable to release her neck.

Shh, don't fight, mo bhaile. Let us save you, she cooed as I felt water surround me. I was gasping for air until I felt strong lips crash against mine.

Axel.

Within seconds, he pulled away and a second pair of lips met mine, along with strong hands cupping my face. Wait, a face. My eyes flew open and I met Silas's blackened eyes as he grinned and kissed me again. "Hello, beautiful boy," he whispered. "I've missed you."

I turned to see Axel cradling a very different-looking Minx as he came closer and began to sob, my tears mixing with the water we had become submerged within. "H..How?"

"Our lovely wife might have failed to mention she's a goddess now," Axel chuckled as he kissed her gently.

I felt Silas give me a slight push toward her as Axel did the same to her. My arms wrapped around her, our lips molding together as I felt our connection flare as if it had never dimmed. I tugged her hair back, pulling our lips apart, "I love you, Eveleen."

She grinned, "I love you, too, but tell me again when they've finished what comes next." I started to ask when I felt them move behind us, then I felt fangs sink into my neck. Her cries filled my ears along with my own, as their venom sank into our bloodstream along with a rush of lust and need. My own incubus essence immediately responded, targeting all three of them. Clothing vanished as our bodies intertwined. It was a haze as I felt her warm core riding my cock while Silas took me from behind, and Axel took her.

When we reached a climax, our bodies almost fluidly repositioned to find a new mating position. It was like we couldn't get enough of one another, and our stamina... I've only experienced that level of hunger once before - when Kaylie poisoned me with the incubus essence. Silas and Axel's leviathan essence was just as potent, and it seemed to feed off of mine. The more we pushed, the more we pulled.

Minx let out a soft whimper as Silas pulled her closer to him, his tentacles cradling her as his hands gripped her neck and breasts. I felt Axel envelop me in a similar fashion and growl, "Watch." The look on her face was pure bliss as wisps of shadow magic began to envelop them. I felt a pull in my core toward that darkness and whined. "Don't you see, love? The universe knew what she would become, what we would all become. Just as she was pure in light, now she is pure in shadow. She's always been what kept us centered."

"So does that mean, I'm going to be a snake again - forever?" I muttered.

"No. The moment our venom and her shadows mixed within you, the choice became yours. It's a part of you, yes, but now you can control it. Use it, wield it like a weapon," he replied, his lips ghosting along my neck. "Fuck, I want to ruin you," he groaned as I felt his cock press deep inside of me. His hand gripped me and began stroking as his tentacles held me firmly. "I love you," he said as his fangs sank into my neck, making me arch.

In addition to the wave of euphoria, I could feel the bond tighten, pulling me to him like a magnet. I loved him completely, just as I loved Silas and Eveleen, but this was deeper somehow - like a carnal need flourishing in my soul. My head fell back against his shoulder when he withdrew his bite. "Cum for me," he commanded as I felt him begin to spill inside me. My body instantly responded as I cried out. I could hear Silas and Minx screaming out their climax as well. My body felt lighter as Axel cradled me, whispering softly, "Sleep love, we'll watch over you until you wake. You're safe now."

Erebus

"How the fuck does she keep doing it?" Kaylie screeched, making my head hurt instantly.

"What are you prattling on about now, Darkling?" I sighed.

"She took another one, Ere! Marc's gone." I sat upright, eyes flaring. "Yeah, now you care," she huffed.

"How do you know it was her?" I asked. "Perhaps he's just wandered off, or even Morpheus?"

She gave a dry laugh, "Seriously...Morpheus? Are you losing your mind?"

Moving faster than she anticipated, I gripped her throat, pushing her against the wall. "I think you're forgetting who you are speaking to, Kaylie." Her eyes widened as I used her real name. I could smell the fear rolling off her.

"T...the baby," she gasped, clawing at my hand around her throat.

I chuckled, "Baby...the creature you carry isn't a precious little baby, Darkling. It's a monster, a creature of the Void - dark and evil just like his parents." Her eyes widened. "Did you really think you carried an infant? I'm not human - neither of us are. I am the God of Darkness and Shadow, while you, sweet Darkling are a demon of darkness. You relinquished your humanity decades ago when you allowed Deimos to transform you."

My grip loosened on her throat as she slid to the floor sputtering, "But she had human babies."

"By she, I'm assuming you mean Eveleen," I said as Kaylie nodded, "Because she was Fae and mating with individuals that were once human or still retained human qualities. I've never been human. Look at her children with the mermen - they aren't human."

I watched the realization wash over her as she shook, her hands clawing at her belly. "Get it out," she choked. "I...I don't want it anymore."

I laughed, "Are you sure about that, Darkling? You were so ready to pervert your former lovers, but the thought of birthing a creature like them - twisted and depraved, suddenly upsets you? I'm beginning to think I misjudged you. Perhaps that sliver of soul is more trouble than it's worth." I sneered as I walked toward her. She tried to scramble away, but it was far too late for that. I clutched my claws around her body, easily pulling her toward me.

Her body shook as she tried to escape. "Shh, Darkling," I cooed, "It will only hurt for a moment, then you will never feel doubt again, just shadow." My mouth covered hers as I plunged my hand into her chest. Her body convulsed and writhed as I wrapped my claws around her soul and pulled it from her.

It was a small, wispy form that shrieked in my grasp. "See, Darkling, this was the source of your pain," I explained as I crushed the essence and her body instantly relaxed. "Don't you feel more free now?" She nodded blankly and I chuckled, "Let's see if I can help ease the transition." I quickly lifted her legs around my waist and slammed inside of her as she grunted. Her dull eyes watched me as I fucked her, filling her core repeatedly until her eyes became brighter and darker. "That's it, Darkling. Take all I offer. Now, cum for me," I commanded. Her lips crashed against mine as she found her release and I spilled inside of her one last time.

"Better?" I asked, lowering her to the ground as I placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Much better," she grinned, "But I still want to know how the little bitch is stealing them out from under our noses." She tapped her foot impatiently. "Wait, if you knock her up, then what will she give birth to?"

I chuckled, "A god. A very dark and twisted god."
