CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE

Seraphina

M y mates and I walked through the manor and out to the yard where we’d been training.

The two days following our first fuck fest, we didn’t leave the room.

Well, I didn’t. My mates stepped out now and then for food and drinks, but they refused to let me leave.

Not until we fucked a hundred more times.

I had no idea my body could take so much dick.

But hot damn, was I a raging slut for my Princes. My mates.

I couldn’t get enough of them. It had been terrifying at first, or at least, I thought it would be. My soul was black with hate and my heart so full of revenge, I didn’t think I could truly let them in. I wanted to, so fucking badly, but until that night, I didn’t know I could.

The power within me pulsed with life, and I sent a zip of pleasure down the bonds, just for fun.

Ty’s rough hand squeezed the back of my neck, and I grinned. “If you think I won’t fuck you right here for everyone to see, you’re sorely mistaken, little vixen.”

“I second that.” Levi laughed, adjusting his crotch. “I’ve been fucking half-cocked for days. One more tease from you and the next fuck fest will be a show for all the guests.”

I laughed, which promptly turned into a yelp when Andras’s hand smacked hard against my ass. I wore leggings, but the fabric was not thick enough to protect me from his punishments.

“Behave, sweetheart,” he murmured. “Or we will chain you to the bed.”

I turned my head to look back at him and winked. “Promises, promises.”

We stepped into the yard as one, and most of the household was waiting for us.

My sister and her daemon and Nuriela and Lo stood together.

Tibby perched on Gremory’s shoulders like a little fairy, Delphine standing beside them and smirking up at my best friend.

I smiled, so fucking happy to see her looking more like the feisty Brit I met all those years ago.

Delphine turned from them and walked toward us. “Thought I was going to have to use magic to get you assholes out of that room.”

Morax chuckled. “I doubt even your magic would have worked, Malefica.”

Delphine was not just a witch, but a royal with some kind of heavy ass magic. The Malefica were the leaders of the witches from their world. Phen explained all of this during one of the rare moments of the last few days when his mouth wasn’t on my pussy or stuffed with cock.

I groaned, the image of him taking Ty’s dick down his throat making my thighs clench. Phenex snarled, and I giggled, covering my mouth.

“Oh my god.” Kaela’s mouth dropped open. “Did you just giggle? Who are you and where is my snarly sister?”

I smiled at her. “Oh, she’s still in here. You’d be giggling too if you saw the movie playing in my head.”

Andras sighed audibly, and I caught him rolling his eyes. “Seraphina. I will gladly punish you in front of everyone.”

“For fuck’s sake,” Delphine shouted. “Get your heads out of your asses for just a minute, will you? Or would you like to be attached to those relics forever?”

Her words instantly sobered me. I was more than ready for them to be destroyed.

The Princes brought the relics forth. The cloudy sky smelled like snow, and I couldn’t see the setting sun, but the air tasted like dusk.

My senses were heightened when my power finally manifested.

I could hear, see, and smell every tiny thing.

I could taste the magic in the air around us.

My back itched, my wings ready to be unleashed.

I was maybe obsessed with them, but who fucking wouldn’t be? They were fucking sexy as hell. And when my mates brushed their fingers through the feathers, the feeling was akin to the most pleasurable orgasm I’d ever had.

“Seraphina,” Devon groaned, rubbing his neck, his eyes blazing with desire. “Please stop thinking so loudly.”

I blew him a kiss and turned back to the witch.

She snapped at my mates, putting them into four corners, with Phen and I at the center.

Delphine handed me the blade that I used in the ritual.

The same one I killed my father with. Guilt swirled in the pit of my stomach, and Phen squeezed my hand, sending soothing thoughts down our bond.

I could feel the same power brushing against my skin from the others, letting me know they were here with me.

“You will use the blade to cut into each of your palms and fill this cup.” Delphine held up a shining gold goblet. “Once it is filled, I will begin. When I speak the final words, unleash hellfire on the relics.”

“I’ve never done that.” I cut in, unsure how I was supposed to figure that out now. Any time I tried to use my power before, it never did what I needed it to.

“You will be able to this time. Now that your mate bonds are settled, you should be able to control your power.” She looked around at the others. “You will be able to aid each other, boost your own power by thinking as one unit.”

The others nodded, and I squared my shoulders, prepared to try. The spectators took several steps back. Morax positioned his body in front of my sister, and she rolled her eyes but didn’t protest. Grem was now doing the same for Tibby. She smiled at me encouragingly.

Delphine closed her eyes and began to chant.

I slit my palm with the knife, shoving my fears and guilt to the far corners of my mind.

I passed the dagger to Phen, and he cut into his skin immediately.

She passed the goblet, and we squeezed our blood into it.

She passed the cup and dagger around to the others, chanting in a foreign tongue the entire time.

As our blood gathered as one, the witch’s magic pulsed through the air.

A line of golden light shimmered into existence, connecting the four Princes at each corner to each other and then to us.

I gasped at the weight of it. This witch was strong as hell.

She passed the cup back to me, full of the blood of my mates.

I brought it to my lips and drank, taking them in.

Whatever magic this was, the feel of it was intoxicating.

Phenex took the cup next, drinking deeply, then passed it back to the others.

Delphine chanted louder as the magic she created came to a crescendo.

I closed my eyes, feeling the connection between the Princes and I reaching a new height.

The power within me surged, and I beckoned forth a fire hotter than anything on this fucking Earth.

As one, we unleashed our power on the relics, burning them to ash.

The Princes shouted, their unbridled happiness shining down our bonds as the tethers were snapped.

The Kings could no longer control or suppress their power. One by one, their wings snapped out, their eyes glowed, and my Princes transformed into the hottest fucking monsters I’d ever seen. Ty roared, the sound sending shivers down my body. My own wings snapped out, and I shot into the sky.
