Tenelle: Children of the Gods Book 2

by Patricia Halladay

  “Well damn.” Daxton says, I think I broke him. Oh well, I will keep him anyways. Daxton is a gorgeous man. His hair is to the middle of his back, but he keeps it neat, so he looks more like an elf then a wizard. He is tall, about 6’2” and is a slender muscular build. The thought crosses my mind of Mitchel, my heart breaks more now that I have found Daxton. Our bond will never be whole again, and that hurts me even more knowing this was all Trin’s doing. Then it hits me to ask about the similarities between my current 2 found mates.

  “Ok is it normal for two mates to have the same hair color?” I ask, running my fingers through Daxton’s hair.

  “What do you mean Tenelle?” Scarlet and Matthew both ask.

  “I mean Enox, and Daxton’s hair is the same color of blue as Enox dragon scales.” I say looking back at Scarlet.

  “Ohh, now I understand. Enox and I are both Celestials, it’s kind of like the Birds of Prey and the Silver Shadow. We are a group that have an awfully specific role in life, and we all have features that show our origins. Both my parents are magic casters. I have both practical and elemental magic.” Daxton says as he takes my hand from running through his hair and kisses my fingers each individually.

  “That is cool, which is your job? I know Enox guides souls to rest for eternity among the stars, and I guess there is other jobs, too right?” I ask looking at Daxton.

  “Yes. I am the one that marks their resting place with the stars. It’s why I have both magics, it’s a very draining job.” Daxton says and then continues “Ok, well we should get going, Enox is waiting for us and we need to find the other two. Can you give us any hints?” Daxton asks Scarlet and Matthew.

  “Midnight blue!” Matthew says and laughs when I scrunch my face at him.

  “Yea that is not helpful, demon boy! No more live bunnies for you!” I tease as he goes bug eyed at my threat. Scarlet just howls with laughter at her mate, and then conjures a live rabbit for him.

  “Ok, I have also removed any outside spell from the two of you. Seems little miss Mary-Anne was tracking both of you. Well let’s just help fuck her plans right up! She was nothing but trouble. How she ever got her magic was just luck.” Scarlet says shaking her head. “Dax you do the same for Enox when you get to him, she is probably following him too now.”

  “Ok will do. Um did you want me to wait outside, or can I stay for what you needed to talk to them about Tenelle?” Daxton asks causing both Matthew and Scarlet to look at me.

  “No, you’re good. Scarlet, Mary-Anne is human. She has been using transition to steal her little brother Hayden’s powers. The label on the bottle from what the Shadow Bright told me was of a cliff emblem. I know you guys make it, to help with healing and dream walking. Could someone be stealing it and giving it to Mary-Anne? Also, something is off about Mitchel, his magic is incomplete like he is missing something. Would you be able to find out more on this end? Your mom is looking into it from her side.” I ask a shocked looking Scarlet.

  “What do you mean someone is stealing it? Matthew start looking at the records to see if there is any missing from inventory. How often does she use it? It should transfer everything the first time.” Scarlet says looking just as angry as her mom does at times.

  “Every time they attack, or she does a spell. She depletes the magic she obtained.” I respond and then Matthew says something in between mouthfuls of rabbit.

  “That means she is using expired stuff. Like the stuff we dumped 8 months ago. Or thought it was dumped. It makes sense now, Trin’s company was supposed to dump it for us. Up until August, his waste processing company did all our dumping, so I would say that is where they got it.” Matthew says looking worried.

  “Don’t stress too much, I sent some friends to have fun with that piece of shit and the bitch. Hayden and Mitchel are the only two they aren’t going to touch.” I say and the deep maroon color fades from Scarlet’s eyes.

  “Who did you send?” Scarlet asks looking nervous.

  “Zed.” I reply, yep she just went ghost white.

  “Ok then I am going to stay away from them then. Damn, that’s not good if you sent him. Now what did you mean Mitchel’s magic seems incomplete?” Scarlet says trying to regain herself.

  “When I spoke to him, he is hurt that he listened to Trin and rejected me. Trin told him he wasn’t strong enough and I would reject him. The thing is, he is strong, just incomplete like part of him is missing. Like a werewolf being able to shift, but the wolf side is hollow. I would have taken him no matter what and helped him find what he has lost. But now I can’t, he’s afraid your mom will punish him for listening to Trin and rejecting me.” I say with tears coming. Daxton puts his arms around and holds me.

  “Technically he is incomplete. Mitchel is a Solar Celestial; he is both Day and Night bound. Both Apollo and Nyx are his god and goddess. His parents separated his two sides, but his mother took off with him when he was little, and we have been looking for her ever since, we don't know the name of the other child. We need to complete him for his magic to be whole. I hope we can before Trin gets him killed.” Scarlet says looking at me.

  “Ok thanks Scarlet, that actually helps a lot. Send me an email with all his family information and I will see what I can do. I have other ways of finding things that you and your mom can’t.” I say as Daxton and I start to get up to leave. “Come visit, I am sure your mom would love to see you! My mom would, I know that.” I say hugging Scarlet and just looking at a very bloody Matthew. That rabbit must have tasted good, and he didn’t even share! How rude! We walk out of the coven house, and into the backyard. It’s a normal house at the end of a street in any town, once inside though, it turns into a huge mansion with 34 different rooms in it.

  Daxton opens a portal to a camping tent and an oh so familiar little fluffy grey mouthy squirrel. As we step through the portal and it closes, I hear Enox before I see him.

  “Finally!” Enox says as he bursts out of the tent and grabs me. I laugh as he spins me and just look at him with so much love. “I have missed you so much!” He says as he seal our lips together. When we pull a part, I am immediately in trouble or maybe I’m not. I turn around to see the little grey squirrel talking to Daxton.

  “Chitter, chitter, chitter!”

  “Chanti, the dragon and wizard are my mates; you need to be nice. The wizard already exploded another familiar this morning. I like having you here when I stop to rest.” I say and the little squirrel squeaks and hides under her tail.

  “Chanti right?” Daxton asks causing the little grey squirrel peaks out from under her tail and chitters at him. “My name is Daxton; do you have a wizard companion? Someone to keep you safe.”

  “Chitter, chitter, chitter.” Chanti answers.

  “Well would you like to be my familiar? You would have to come home with me, Enox and Tenelle. Would that be alright?” Daxton asks and Chanti jumps up on his shoulder and hugs him.

  “I take that as a yes.” Enox says laughing, “Come on let’s get inside where it is warm.” We walk inside the door of the tent and are immediately tackled by magic.

  “What the fuck?” Daxton screams and Chanti has gotten out the door in time.

  “Did you really think I was that stupid to put only one tracer on her?” Mary-Anne says. I can see Enox is actually passed out cold, it was magic that had him greeting us. Mitchel and Trin stand nearby as Mary-Anne hits Daxton. Mitchel gives me a look of hurt, but it’s not of our bond. It looks like physical pain he is suffering.

  “I am sorry you mean this tracer?” I say as I hold up a silver pendant, another one I bought at the market near the coffee shop. I snap it in two and causing Mary-Anne to stumble. I let my body go limp as I dream walk over to Daxton. His eyes are huge as he looks at me when I cup his face.

  “You are mine and I am yours!” I say and bite down on his neck.

  “Mitchel stop her!” Mary-Anne screams, but by the time any of them realize what has happened I am back in my body, and my mark is on Daxton. I fe
el a slight burning on my wrist and when I look another mate’s mark appears. It’s a half sun half-moon and like the dragon on my shoulder it’s dark blue. Mitchel collapsed just after I marked Daxton, he hasn’t moved as my bond with Daxton forms and his is fully broken, I feel hurt, but angry at the same time.

  “You’re not that fucking bright are you Mary-Anne? When taking someone else’s mates, make sure the person you’re stealing them from is not a Dream Walker. I have already been in and out of your heads. You might want to come up with a new game plan. By the way, go ahead and kill me, but it means instant death for you. I am a Messenger of the God’s!” I scream charging her out the door and letting Snow rip through. She is in the air before the dragon can do anything to stop her. Snow keep climbing higher as her talons sink deeper into Mary-Anne’s chest. She is screaming from the pain, when I broke her tracer, I took the last of her current powers. With a hold on her power source, she is fucked for the time being.

  “Hey Daxton, let’s see if the bitch bounces!” Snow says through the mate bond.

  “Please do! She has caused enough trouble.” Daxton replies. Snow release her from a good 400 feet up, Trin though has made it outside of the tent and is shifting quickly to save Mary-Anne. He again must carry an unconscious Mitchel and try to catch her. Someone isn’t going home today!

  To our surprise, he manages to catch Mary-Anne just before she became a splattered crater in the earth. He starts to aim for us and is quickly climbing. Snow start moving in and out of the trees, to keep ahead of him, but he is getting closer. She duck under him and head back to the camp. Just as I thought he would grab Snow and I, Trin is hit hard by a ball of blue flame and sent backwards. The blast was enough he is making a mad dash to save Mary-Anne again, as she was knocked out of his grasp. Making it back to the tent, Snow give me control and I shift back as my feet hit the earth. Daxton is quick to my side and covers me in clothes.

  “Thank you, Daxton, for giving me clothes. Where is Enox? Did he chase after Trin?” I ask Daxton, looking worried for my mate.

  “Oh hell, I am going to kill someone.” Enox says as he walks out the tent door, rubbing the back of his head.

  “Enox!” I scream and hug him, “Shit, are you ok? What happened? Who was the one to hit Trin with the blue flame?” I ask looking at Enox and kissing his whole face.

  “Calm down little feather. Dorren is the one chasing them, you can thank him in a minute he is heading back now.” Enox says and smashes his lips to mine in a heated kiss. We pull away to see a relieved Daxton.

  “Fuck Enox! I am glad you’re ok! When Mary-Anne used magic to take us down, I was worried about you. I didn’t know how they took you out.” Daxton says and comes over to bro-hug Enox.

  “She showed up like 30 minutes ago. That is when they knocked me out, Trin hit me from behind. I think they thought one of us would tell them where the map is if they had Tenelle.” Enox says as we head back into the tent, this time Daxton checks the tent and Enox clearing all magic.

  “Well, I don’t think Mary-Anne was expecting Tenelle to know about her second tracer, to dream walk and mark me in front of them. When Tenelle broke the second tracer that did something to Mary-Anne, she couldn’t move. Then Mitchel completely collapsed after Tenelle marked me. This gave me time to bind Tenelle and I as mates. Then Tenelle took May-Anne’s ass outside and went straight into the air with her. Asked if I wanted to see if she bounces.” Daxton tells Enox and both just look at me with grins.

  “Now you know why the grounder had to tranquilize me to try and kill me. I am a territorial bitch. Well, I am just a bitch in general, but I was too worried about getting them away from you two. They blasted Dax with something, and he couldn’t do anything against them. By the way, she is human, she is stealing magic from her little brother Hayden.” I say looking at the guys. A loud roar sounds off outside and Chanti comes running in to Daxton.

  “Hey girlie, was that you’re doing? Getting the other big blue dragon?” I ask Chanti. She chitters at me and I smile. “Thank you little one for the help. Greatly appreciated!” I tell her. A few minutes later a guy comes walking in and moves over to Enox.

  “Fuck little brother, what happened? Thank Nyx I was in the area, checking for that asshole.” Dorren says grabbing his brother in a hug.

  “They set a trap to get my mate here, but they didn’t realize my mate already knew about it and still kicked their asses. If Trin hadn’t been able to get out into his dragon. That bitch Mary-Anne would be dead. Speaking of which, Dorren this is my mate Tenelle, and the Snowy Owl is her other half, Snow. Daxton, you remember my big brother Dorren. Daxton is one of Tenelle’s other mates.” Enox introduces us, I offer my hand and Dorren shakes it.

  “How the fuck did you get a Messenger of the Gods as your mate? And after your 24th birthday!” Dorren says with a shocked looks to his brother.

  “Well, I actually don’t know. Trin convinced Mitchel to reject her, the wizard that is with him. Could we originally be true mates, and it was just planned this way?” Enox says with the biggest smile while wrapping his arms around me and kissing the side of my head.

  “Well either way you couldn’t ask for a more caring and protective dragon mate, than my brother. Believe me, he has always been that way. It’s probably why the goddess Nyx came and chose him herself to become a Celestial Guard. Congrats to all of you. Wait you said one of her mates. How many do you have?” Dorren says with his eyebrows scrunched together.

  “4, still looking for the other two. Might have to call Aunt Tania and fill her in.” I say and pull my satchel out of thin air again. Before I do anything, Dax checks it again for different magics. For the second time today, I give Tania a call. She is going to love me.

  “Hello Munchkin, what is up now?” Tania asks.

  “Hello Aunt Tania, I know how Mary-Anne is getting her magic. I mentioned it to Scarlet this morning when I was talking to her. Mary-Anne is human and stealing magic from her little brother, a Sorcerer named Hayden. He is really young; from what I can tell he may be like 8 years old. She is using expire transition that Trin got from Limestone Cliff to dump a while back.” I say not holding back, she is probably getting ready for a morning nap since I woke her up so early.

  “That little bitch! I know who you are talking about. Did you see where she has him, I can’t connect to him.” Tania says with anger.

  “It’s Trin’s den, although other than Mitchel and Hayden, no other magic casters can get in. I helped him put up a damn strong block and told him not to let anyone in! He won’t come out until I go in to get him. Not even for you, I was afraid they would do what Tit did to Nimara. Is there anything else you want me to do?” I ask knowing this puts a damper on things.

  “No, find your mates and claim them! Nimara has been itching to kill something, I think being a stay-at-home mom is driving her crazy. I can’t get into his den, but a Goddess can. Especially his Goddess! Ok kiddo let me know if anything else comes up. Tell Chanti I have a nesting tree ready for her too. Bye Tenelle.” Tania says, I could hear her walking as we talked, she is already on her way to get Nimara.

  “Who is Tania and Nimara?” Dax and Dorren ask looking at me.

  “My Aunt Tania is the earth-bound goddess Hecate and Limestone Cliff coven Leader Scarlet’s mom. Nimara or Nimue as you might know her, is the goddess Gaia. They are going to go after Hayden to get him away from Mary-Anne. With Trin being the only one able to do anything right now, Nimara will be able to keep him grounded, and get the little boy out of danger.” I says with relief being a temporary feeling.

  “Wow, you scored huge on the mate scale there you two! Don’t piss her family off please, I want to stay alive!” Dorren says look at Dax and Enox, then his eyes go white. “Ok, the Great Council has made a decision with the new information about Mary-Anne… Death. They don’t want to risk anyone’s safety with Trin being out of control. From what was said it’s a death sentence for all of them. So, if you can, take their asses out. With claiming
Enox and Daxton, it makes it a little easier.” Dorren says coming out of his link with the council.

  “Vixen just linked me, she said that she and Tee have been assigned to watch over us. Along with Rock and Everett as back up if we need extra support. She also said the Council has figured out what it is exactly Mary-Anne and Trin are looking for.” Enox says looking at me.

  “Why do I get the feeling I am their target?” I ask Enox and Dorren.

  “Because unfortunately little feather you are. With you being able to dream walk without being a dragon or using transition is exceptionally rare, and Snow makes you even more rare. The last Great Snowy Owl to live was the god Hermes when he was earth-bound. We need to talk to Everett and your mom, to keep you safe.” Enox says.

  “Then should I portal us back to the Great Theater of the Gods? It would be safer than sitting here in the woods.” Dax says with a concerned look.

  “No here is best. We know the landscape and the dragons can get to us easier. We don’t need permission here because this is unclaimed by a wolf pack or gargoyle clan.” Enox says with a look at his brother.

  “Ok I am going to check out the area and see if I can find anything else to lead us to Trin. Maybe I will find something to help take his ass out of the sky.” Dorren says giving Enox another hug and leaving.

  “What do we do then? We still need to find the other two and complete the mating. Once all of us are found and claimed that will make this easier for everyone involved and it means we can protect Tenelle better and cover her ass when she needs us.” Dax says looking at Enox and I.

  “Then let’s get to it.” I say stripping the clothes Dax gave me and walking over to him. I grab around his neck and bring his lips to mine. I feel a purring behind me and then gasp as Enox slips his tongue over my entrance and clit. Dax doesn’t waste the opportunity and slips his tongue into my mouth. I pull back from our kiss to start panting and moaning.

  “Enox, yes please more! Fuck I’m cumming!” I scream to feel Enox slide his tongue inside of me as the heat explodes from my body. Dax makes the orgasm stronger as he pinches my nipples between his fingers. I undo his pants and bring out his cock, I bend over running my tongue over the head causing Dax to grab my hair and thrust his cock into the back of my throat. I moan and then suck hard as Enox’s cock filles my pussy. I am being rocked back and forth with each thrust. I take Dax to the base of his cock and gag when I do, Enox is filling me and hits the right spot every time he sinks in deeper and deeper.
