Reincarned with a deities Harem (Tome 1)

Azef's prison

My eyebrows were twitching with the anger that was slowly filling my heart. Azef was really off base.

“You think I can just walk out onto the street and fall in love with the first person I meet? I'm not as weak as you want to believe, unless you, Azef, underestimate the lessons you're teaching me? I can defend myself.”

Vanderly was behind me, his hands cupping my pelvis as he buried his face in my neck.

“We're sorry, we overdid it…”

“Yes, you did, but I can understand that you were worried. I won't do it again, I won't leave without letting you know, is that okay, Azef?”

“Yes.”

“Azef, take me to the head maid.”

“Good.”

We left, finding ourselves on the street in front of the inn.

“Do you think it will be okay for both of them ? Our brother is a bit over the top, don't you think?”

“No, Suzaku, Seiryu is just a prisoner of the past. Four hundred years ago, he was the one who slit the throat of that vile witch who wanted to kill him, but what he received in return, I couldn't bear. The memory of Leima's gaze at that time was full of hatred and resentment. If you think it was hard for us during these last centuries, then imagine Seiryu. Leima spat her hatred and disgust directly in his face, which deeply hurt him... I think that of all of us, he's the one who harbors a visceral hatred for humans, but he has great restraint. He preferred to retreat into the forest, but at the slightest mishap with a human, he became merciless, which is why he was ruthless with Mylène's parents and cursed our poor light out of pure anger at his father…”

“I see... Our brother has a lot on his mind, but I think all his pain will be erased thanks to Mylène.”

“It's true, she managed to make me forget all the past pain. I'm sure it will be the same for Seiryu. But I still agree with him ; if one of them wants to steal Mylène's love, we'll have to eliminate them, it's as simple as that.”

“On that, I completely agree with you both. Unlike the other reincarnations of Luminus, whom we treated like our little brothers or our children, Mylène is the one we desire, whether emotionally or physically... I admit I don't understand this feeling yet, but I want to touch her skin every time I look at her. I need to feel her; it's a need that has become almost necessary... Who would have thought that we sacred beasts were so given to carnal desires…”

The two blushed and continued to hope that Mylène and Azef would reconcile.

On the street, I was fed up with Azef giving me the cold shoulder, and when we arrived at a secluded, uncrowded spot, I took his hand, stopping him abruptly.

“I don't like it when we're angry like this.”

“Me neither, but I can't help it. I always feel so worried when you do something as reckless as going out alone.”

“But I'm careful.”

“I don't want to lose you, Mylène, either because you're in love with a human or because those bastards killed you…”

“I understand... I promise to always be careful, and there's no way one of them is going to make me fall for you when I have the most exceptional men in the world as lovers, so stop worrying.”

“Yes…”

I gestured for him to come closer before rushing towards his lips.  We kissed before parting, sweet smiles playing on our lips.
