Chapter Sixteen

Zion’s Pov

My mates busted through the door like it was Christmas morning and they were ready to open presents. I stepped out the shower grabbing my towel before wrapping it around my body.

“What’s gotten into you two.” I asked, Iliam had a huge cheesy grin, and Ethar was nudging him with his elbow to get him to speak up. As I eyed them up and down, I could tell they were up to no good. I shot them a playful smirk and that’s when Iliam couldn’t contain his silence anymore.

“You need to die, you can choose how, and we will take care of the rest.” Iliam states, still smiling, as for me I know the face I was making was nothing less than absolute shock and fear.

What the fuck, they are trying to murder me!

Ethar nudged Iliam so hard in the ribs he hunched over and cried out in pain. Serves him right because what the hell was he thinking.

“What Iliam is trying to saying, but totally butchered the delivery is that you need to turn before the venom in your system becomes painful, it’s the reason you have been so irritated lately, and in order to turn you have to die just once.” Ethar explained.

I was right they’re trying to murder me. My own mates. Heat washed over me and I began to feel the room spinning.

“I need to sit down!” I tell them as I pushed past the two of them and made my way to the bed. Iliam sits beside me and Ethar sits on the other side. They are going to have to learn to keep me in the loop about things. I can tell by the casual tone they had that this was no big deal for them, but to die is no small thing to me.

“What if it doesn’t work, and how would you do it ? there no easy way to die. And what if I don’t want to turn?” I stammer out the words but was I really considering it.
Iliam stood up and thought for a minute then spoke.

“ It’s going to work don’t worry Zi, it has never not worked.” Iliam explained

“And you have to turn , the pain is excruciating and gets worse the longer you go without turning. I’m not watching you go through that , I won’t let you put yourself through that babe.” Ethar added.

“You will be fine I will stop your heart and a few moments later it will restart on its own.” Ethar tells me.

If I was going to go I wanted it to be quick and not painful. Ethar was right if my heart stopped, I wouldn’t even know what happened, but all this anxiety leading up to it is what was making me afraid.

I nodded to Ethar in agreement. Iliam sat behind me up against the headboard And pulled me towards him.

“Lay back.” Ethar coaches, and I lay my head on Iliams lap starring up into his eyes made me feel safe I knew they would take care of me, and if they weren’t sure I would come back they wouldn’t be doing it.

Ethar climbs on top of me and my whole body tensed, he placed his hand on my chest just above my breast and chanted something too low to make out. The last thing I saw was Iliam’s handsome face smiling down on me.

Iliam’s POV

It was probably a little morbid to be smiling but she was the most gorgeous woman I ever seen, and I knew she would come back our Hybrid beauty.

The minutes felt like hours as they ticked by, and she stayed laying on my lap lifeless. I have seen others of my kind turn and it never took this long for the vampire curse to take effect.

After ten minutes Ethar began to pace around the room filled with worry. Suddenly her body wassnapped from me.

“What are you doing?” I snap at Ether who was positioning himself over her body.

“Giving her CPR what does it look like.Or use my magic to try and restart her heart” he snapped back his eyes filled with determination.

What the fuck was happening, we didn’t kill our mate. Why was he acting like we killed out mate? I began to panic, and I felt anger rise in me.

“If you were going to do that shit, you should have done it a long time ago.” I screamed at him, pushing him off her body, and I began the compressions myself, I pressed against her chest, breathing into her mouth after every 15 compressions. I heard one of her ribs cracks under the pressure. Ethar was staring in horror as he saw me trying to revive our lover, our life, our Luna.

“You aren't supposed to be here.” the goddess cocks her eyebrow at me as she stands above the glowing pond.

“Did they mess up that bad so soon?” She adds now facing me.

“They were trying to turn me, since Ethar marked me, they said I needed to turn before the pain started.” I explained.

“I know but you’re a hunter, and he stopped your heart with magic.” she responded, motioning me to come stand beside her at the pond.

“The pain would not have affected you. They did not think this through. When you get back remind them that they cannot keep making mistakes like this, I won't always be around to help” she said shaking her head in disappointment. When I looked down into the pond it glowed bright before showing the scene of my mates trying to revive me.

“You need to go back it’s not your time, your mates will need you now more than ever for what lies ahead.” She tells me before she kisses my lips. And was pulled back to my surroundings.

My eyes fluttered open, and I tried to inhale a large breath but instead I was met with Iliams mouth suffocating me and I was almost immediately sent back to the goddess.

I pushed him off of me panting for air. And with a deranged laugh I spoke. “My two idiot mates murdered me.” My laugh was half filled with shock the other half was fear of how close I came to dying. No, I did die, and it was their fault.

“Thank the Goddess.” Ethar chanted. “Damn straight, she said you guys fucked up big time and to stop making careless mistakes.” I said to them sternly. Their eyes dart to each other shame written all over their faces, but there was a sort of sadness I felt through the bond from how scared they had been trying to bring me back

“I'm fine your guys come here.” I told them, reaching out my hand, they each took one and sat on the bed beside me.

I turned kissing Ethar his tongue savoring every inch of my mouth like it was his last meal. I could feel the heat radiating down below before he pulled away, he tugged on my towel letting it fall on my lap as it released my breast. He leaned down, taking one into his mouth. I hissed with pleasure as he nipped at my already perked nipple soothing it with a circle motion with his tongue. I couldn’t contain the loud moans I let out as he nipped and sucked repeatedly. I ran my fingers through his hair pulling him closer, I didn't want him to stop.

With my free hand I grabbed Iliams chin before diving my tongue down his throat aggressively moaning into his mouth as he let me take control. He ripped the towel off of me before sliding his hand down my stomach stopping right before he reached my core that was now throbbing in anticipation, wanting to be touched. He pulled away from the kiss and his eyes locked with mine.

“You smell that brother.” He said his eyes were still locked with mine as he sniffed the air. My arousal already made pool on the sheets beneath me, and I knew he could sense how turned on I was. Both my mates caressed me in separate places, and it just felt right. Iliam moved his hand down lower, and I closed my eyes and threw my head back in pleasure, he was now gripping my soaked kitty, his fingers now entered me slowly.

“Shes so wet.” He breathed into my ear, I felt Ethar move off the bed and my eyes snapped open. He removed his pants and sat down in the chair across from the bed stroking himself.

“Don’t you dare stop; I want to watch.” He demanded, his glare was intense and left no room for argument.

I lay down on the bed giving him a better view as Iliam pumped his fingers in and out of me as my kitty salivated for him. As Iliam’s fingers sped up I could feel myself about to explode with just a few more strokes and I knew he could feel it to. My orgasm was at its precipice when he removes his fingers suddenly. I let out a small growl before I watched him free himself from his boxers that were holding his throbbing erection hostage. A grin showed on his lips as he moved on top of me. With one hard thrust he was snug inside me. Pulling out almost completely before he slammed back in. His rhythm was much more aggressive than Ethar’s but it was just what I expected from Iliam who had been saving himself for his mate. It didn’t take long before I was thrown over the edge of ecstasy, and I felt Ethar threw the bond, he was right there with me finding his finish line, the waterfall of my orgasm splashing all over us as Iliam gave me a few more strokes before stilling and finding his release.

He leant down and I could feel his breath on the crook of my neck before I felt his canines piercing the skin and it was like the universe was finally opening up completely for me to see. I felt the bond snap in place with Ethar's mark, but I knew I was missing another half. Everything now felt complete as I felt Iliam’s bond merged with Ethar’s and mine. It was like this was always meant to be, Ethar wouldn’t be able to fully have me without me having Iliam and vice versa. I wouldn’t be able to have Iliam without having Ethar. Iliam’s canines rose from my neck and were replaced by his fangs, his venom seeping into me causing another wave of arousal to hit me. He lapped up the blood before offering his neck to me. Pure instinct took over as I gladly accepted.

After marking Iliam I went to sit on Ethar’s lap in the chair. He immediately offered his neck to me, and I began to mark him just like I had with Iliam only with him I felt something different. When my fangs slipped into Ethar I felt the darkness try to slip its way in to me. I couldn’t stop it feeding on him. It was different than when I pulled the darkness from him using magic. This was much better the taste was intoxicating and I wanted more. I needed more. Ethar’s body began to slack but I couldn’t stop, I heard Iliam’s muffled voice calling to me, but I couldn’t make out the words, all of my senses were focused one thing. Tears slipped from my eyes as I begged myself to stop. Iliam tugged on my arm, but I pushed him back hard into the mirror that stood beside the bed. The strength was not mine, but it felt amazing. With one quick snapping sound the room went dark.
