Chapter 48

Hades

I pulled Ember's body close to mine as I lifted her off the ground. The surrounding area was covered in Wolves, more than had run earlier. Wolves were turning into men with a sickening reaction to Ember's smell. Snarling, I covered her body with my cloak from the sick bastards. I was not a Wolf, but I could smell the desire and heat from her body when Dante came running back to us.

How could such a short amount of time from shifting to going into heat could there be?! Ember's body was trying to catch up on all the milestones she had missed in her adolescence, and it hit like a freight train. It made me wonder if all the barriers had been pulled down once she shifted.

Ember groaned as I tucked her body into my cloak tightly. Not one piece of her skin did I want to be exposed to the air. The shirt that had kept her covered during the first few hours of her shift had been ruined. Holes from her claws and teeth had ripped it straight through. I settled for my black robes after she took off, feeling more comfortable.

My mind still was not at ease as she left me standing in the clearing with those who could not shift. Many pregnant women and children were scattered about, making themselves occupied while their parents ran. I did nothing but pace and left my own trenches in the damp soil as I heard her howl through the setting sun.

After three hours of her bones breaking, she still had the energy to go for a run. I hoped she had energy for something else later. I bit my bottom lip hard, thinking I could have her tonight.

The minutes passed by, and an hour had approached of no return. I was filled with worry; my fingers anxiously twitched, waiting for Ember. Could she not feel my nervousness? She had been gone too long, and I wanted to be by her side. I found myself in a dead sprint until I reached the woods and heard women snicker and coo while I waited. "He's so smitten," one heavily pregnant woman spoke. "Who knew the god everyone was so afraid of would be so deeply in love?" Red rose to my cheeks as I tried to hide my face.

The bond had been stretched thin far too long. While the only way to calm my lustful side was to be fully bonded to her, I had to be patient. I didn't want to wait any longer, but I wasn't sure if Ember felt the same. The last thing I wanted to do was force her into something she wasn't ready for, despite the many pleas from her Wolf. With the Sphere of Souls still missing, I wondered if our bond would be fully completed once we became one in body and soul. Only one way to find out.

"You need to leave now!" Charlotte spoke harshly; luckily for her, I didn't mind her talking that way because she only thought of her daughter's safety. Ember's body was drenched in sweat as I put my lips to her forehead and willed us to the trail that Charlotte had spoken of. I had never been to the cabin, so I couldn’t myself to it if I was uncertain of the specific location.

Howls came from the distance as I ran down the heavily wooded trail. Ember clutched my shirt as the small dark cabin came into view. Stopping before the steps, I waved my hand to create a ward; no one would be able to cross, and no one would sense her here unless she was seen. With luck not on our side, Wolves stopped abruptly as they tried to pass but were immediately halted by the burn of the ward. If they crossed, they would disintegrate in an instant.

Anger burned through me as I watched them pace around the entire cabin. What kind of idiots do they think they are? I'm a fucking god, and they dare believe there would be an opening anywhere?

"Hades?" Ember whimpered. "I don't think they can help it; mom is telling me dad is sending in the mated males to pull them away and guard us. Please don't hurt them. Their Wolves can't be controlled right now." A growl left my throat. I wanted nothing more than to watch them instantly combust. However, this was her family, her pack; I couldn't do anything but heed to her wishes.

Destroying was all I knew what to do, and right now, I wanted nothing more than to watch the life leave their eyes for staring at what was mine. My beautiful sweet Ember. Ember was bare from the waist down, and her shirt could only cover so much.

"If they somehow cross the ward, I can't promise anything," I whispered as I kicked in the cabin door. With my other foot, it slammed shut, causing the small pictures and tickets on tables to rattle.

It was a small cabin, like a studio apartment. A small kitchenette was in the corner with baskets of fruit, pastries, and drinks. My only concern was the bed; Ember's spasms and jerks had only increased as I took long strides and laid her down. Her shirt and ridden up past her thighs, and her pussy had already leaked her essence on her thighs.

"Fuck," I whispered as I tore the cloak from me. My pants were painfully tight as her hooded eyes dared look into mine.

"Take it off," she moaned as I ripped her shirt down the middle. Her breasts spilled out before me as my mouth attacked her pebbled nipples. Her hands went through my hair. "Bite harder," she whispered as her legs wrapped around my torso. A gust of wind blew by, and I engulfed her scent. Fuck, how could I have ever thought having a mate was revolting? This was sweeter than any heaven I could have dreamed.

Kissing down her stomach, I came to her perfectly shaved pussy. Her pink and puffy lips beckoned me as my tongue stretched her hole. My hands held her hips as she tried to move. Growling into her, she spasmed, and I felt the inner walls of her slick tighten. A moan left her mouth as chills ran down her legs.

Resting wasn't an option; I would have her now and give her the most pleasure she could handle. I need her core soaked to take my large cock.

Biting her nipples, her hips ground into my erection. Her pussy was so close to me, my heavy balls pulled against her to feel her heat. My pants holding me back, I willed them off in an instant as her warmth touched my most intimate places. Her wetness soaked me as I felt my skin jump with sparks. "Please," she groaned while I attacked her pouty lips. My cock rubbed her entrance once more, only for her to growl.

"Don't play with me." Ember's eyes flashed their mint green color as I lined up to thrust into her. My legs were firmly planted on the floor; her ass was cupped in my hands as the tip slowly entered her. She was unbelievably tight as I inched forward; Ember's mewls and cries for me to hurry made me growl as I finally pushed into her. A cry left her as her breast heaved forward while her back arched, causing me to slip deeper into her core. My hands landed on her lower back as I left my cock all the way to the hilt while my face buried into her breasts.

"I'm sorry, I got carried away." I let out a heavy breath as her hands knotted in my hair. Keeping still so her body would adjust to my size, Ember moved her hips. "Move," her throaty voice caressed me. I slipped out only to admire her cum around my cock. Something about seeing my dick disappear gave me more power than I could ever imagine. I was the only male that would enter this woman.

Thrusting back in, her tightened cavern held onto me like I was retreating and not coming back. Rocking in and out of her, I felt my own soul dislodge from my being; it was beyond my control as I felt it detach from me. Hovering over my body, I watched as my physical self-roll her into the bed.

Ember's soul came up to meet me as her hands cupped my face, her hair floating beside her plump cheeks. We kissed with wild abandon, using our tongues to feel every crevice in each other's mouths. No one could have prepared me for such a feeling, our bodies becoming one while our souls danced above. The ghost of us had hands on each other bodies as my chest melted into hers. Ember's head was thrown back as the burn from my chest latched onto her own heart. We were not one in body but as spirit as well. Heat covered us as our hearts burned together, leaving a burned tattoo in the middle of her chest.

My symbol was the cross with the upturned moon and a bright red jewel in the middle, and it was now forever touching her skin. I kissed her chest as her eyes began to flutter back open.

"Now mark me," I heaved as her fangs protruded from her mouth. Ember bit into my shoulder while my soul shattered. Below us, our physical bodies mimicked our souls as we both seized in pleasure. I had no control of what was happening to us, but we both laid gently back into bodies once Ember's fangs dislodged from my shoulder. Both of us were sweating, still feeling the aftershocks of our orgasms. Lifting my hand, I realized we had both come back to our physical selves and had control of our bodies.

"What was that?" Ember's eyes were still closed, but her hands never left my face. Droplets of my blood still lay on her lips as I kissed her clean.

"That was a soul-bonding; it only happens with gods." I pushed a few locks from Ember's forehead as her eyes fluttered open. "We are the first to experience it; I wasn't sure what was going to happen." I felt my cock twitch inside her; I didn't want to leave her body just yet. "Are you all right?"

"Yes," she croaked. "I feel different." My mark began to glow on her chest as she held onto my biceps tightly. Supernaturals mated to different species tend to take on each other's traits; I wonder if she would be more like me? Cast protection wards or even play with fire in her hands?
