Tenelle: Children of the Gods Book 2

by Patricia Halladay

  “How did I get here? Did you connect to Mitchel’s house? I want to go back, please Scarlet. It’s the last place I saw him alive!” I say breaking down again and just wanting to be near something of Mitchel’s, I know I have Daxton’s stuff at home already. The guy picks me up again and just holds me.

  “Mom will be here soon. She is going to take you home. She already thought of that, all of Mitchel’s belongings are back in your rooms. Everyone was so scared they would get you to take them up.” Scarlet says rubbing my back like her mom, counterclockwise.

  “I can’t take them up when Snow isn’t with me anymore.” I say and Scarlet looks at me.

  “What do you mean?” Scarlet asks looking a little angry and confused at the same time.

  “I had her leave, before they took me, so I couldn’t take them up, I don’t have my owl anymore. I am human Scarlet.” I say and look at her half smile half upset look.

  “Sweetie, Snow came back to you just before you woke up. That’s how you went dream walking into Mary-Anne and beat the fuck out of her. Zed was in there too, you not only hurt her in her dreams, but you did it to her body. Zed has been making sure to keep you safe, he saw how broken you were when Mitchel died. He has had all the Shadow clans taking turns going after them. Nyx isn’t even able to get them to stop, their love for you is so much stronger than anyone’s could ever be. That’s what Trin and Mary-Anne are looking for and could never have.” Scarlet says and cups my face to wipe my tears.

  “Snow, is that true? You came back already?” I say closing my eyes and seeing my owl standing there.

  “Yes, I could feel the power growing in your body and knew, that it didn’t matter if I was there or not. You would always have the power to walk among the stars. I was lonely and it’s your turn to put up with Levi! He really is a dumbass at times.” Snow says and I start to laugh while holding my owl.

  “I love you Snow!”

  “I love you too Tenelle! Let’s go home ok. Mitchel’s stuff is with Daxton’s. It needs to be placed, so we can start to heal.” Snow says and I pull back out.

  “Thank Hades you’re alright!” Tania says smothering me in a full body hug.

  “Hey Aunt Tania. Let go I need to breath!” I say and Tania lets go, while everyone else snickers.

  “Sweetie, I am so sorry! I never thought they would go so far as to kill Mitchel just to get to you. I should have seen it.” Tania says with tears starting to fall.

  “It’s not your fault, Nyx pulled me in when they shot me. I am to ask Nimara to lift the ban on Amazon, there is some cute outfits Nyx wants to get the girls and she wanted me to let them die. I was made to break my promise to Mitchel and Daxton, Aunt Tania! If that’s what it means to be a goddess then I don’t want it!” I am bawling again as Tania looks at me with understanding. I feel bad for the poor guy hanging on to me too, his shirt must be soaked.

  “Come on sweetie, let’s go home for you to see Enox, Nazareth and Levi.” Tania says, she opens a portal for us. When we walk through the portal, I’m still being carried, but hear tons of growling. The whole theater is growls, and I see the wolves have moved in with mom and me. They don’t seem to like the newcomer and possibly me since I probably stink so bad right now.

  “Where is her room? I will take her there so she can get dressed. They didn’t even put clothes on her while having her trapped in their den.” The guy says, I honestly need to stop crying and ask him his damn name. His voice is so soothing though.

  “It’s this way, may I know your name? It was amazing of you to go get my niece from that dragon. Considering I wasn’t even able to get in his den for Hayden.” Tania ask, I haven’t lifted my head, so I haven’t seen his face. I really don’t care at this moment, I just want my guys, all of them. We pass through some of the corridors and then through the great hall. There must be a lot of stuff in the hallway, with all the wolves moving in and getting settled.

  “She was slipping out the window when Zed took me over. Said he knew where Tenelle was being kept. Told me if she got hurt, he would haunt my dreams, honestly though he wouldn’t want to. It might be the other way around. I was able to grab her before her feet touch the ground and keep her from screaming. Zed closed the window and went into the woman’s dream. My name is DM, ma’am.” DM says. His initials are the same as Daxton and Mitchel’s! I start crying again with the thought and he pulls me even closer. I can feel us going down the stairs, to my quarters. My room has a dome roof that shows the stars at night. I’m in the part of the theater that shows from the side of a cliff. Its’s about 2 kms away from the center. Allowing for so many to live here.

  “She lost one of her mates. I hope the other 3 can help her, she’s going to need to be able to fight Trin and Mary-Anne. They need to be stopped.” Tania says.

  “Well, the woman shouldn’t be too much of a problem. When I watch Zed shift into her dream, the right arm was broken, and the left knee looked dislocated badly.” DM says.

  “Oh really? Wow that is something new, I have never heard of a dream walker able to manifest physical harm through dreams before. Though I know Mary-Anne is out of magic, so she can’t heal like she use too. Now that she is completely human again. Serves her right! I just wish Tenelle had done more to Trin than just blinded him in the left eye.” Tania says, I love my Aunt! She always see the good in hurting bad people. “This is it; I think the guys have been sorting through Mitchel and Daxton’s stuff. They really were the same person, there’s doubles of everything. They are putting out some of Daxton’s and the rest in Mitchel’s to have both of them in here for her. The rest is going into a shelf so she can look at it when she is ready.” Tania says opening the door.

  “The Great Celestial Map! Wow, I never thought I would see it all in one place.” DM says, we have stopped moving.

  “Hi, I will take Tenelle now. I’m Nazareth and you are?” Nazareth says and looks at me. I look at him and hold my arms out like a child. Nazareth takes me from DM and moves over to my sleeping chambers.

  “Sorry about that, it caught me off guard to see the entire Great Celestial Map in one place. That is amazing! I am DM, Zed led me to Tenelle to get her out to safety from Trin. Did you guys notice that was on the ceiling?” DM says spinning in circles in the living room.

  “Hey, I’m Enox, what are you talking … Holy fuck! Why didn’t I see that before? I’m a damn Celestial guide and didn’t notice that. Levi! Nazareth!” Enox yells, Nazareth has set me down on my bed. I can tell he doesn’t want to leave.

  “Go see what he wants, I will be out in about 20 minutes I need to shower. I stink, don’t I?” I ask and Nazareth nods chuckling. I get up and drop the blanket to go shower when I hear Nazareth growl. I look back and he’s staring at my body. I look down and I am covered in bruises from Mary-Anne and Trin. “They did these because I wouldn’t come out for them. I need to get clean and go get Hayden to come out too.” I say tears starting to fall again.

  “Hey, my little owl. No more tears! Mitchel and Daxton would be so hurt knowing that there was nothing you could do and you’re beating yourself up for it. From what Nimara said, you took a bullet straight to the chest. Please, they would want you to start to live for them.” Nazareth says just as Enox yells for him again. “He is as big of a pain in the ass as Levi! Fuck!” I snicker at Nazareth, and he leaves. I walk into the bathroom and start the shower. I step in when it’s nice and hot. I close my eyes, just letting it run over my body. I see flashes of Mitchel and then Daxton. I am losing my memories of them already, not that I had many but what I did have I want to keep. I feel hands start to massage soap into my hair and they aren’t mine. I go to open my eyes and turn around to see who it is, but I get held in place.

  “Let me take care of you my pet! Like I should have.” That was Mitchel! This has to be my mind sending me for a loop. “No more tears, I am always here with you!” A hand goes to my chest over my heart. It feels so real, I have to be dreaming. I let him take care of me like he wants to. I feel his
hands on every inch of my body. My muscles being relaxed and massaged, my hair washed, conditioned and detangled. I am in heaven; I reach back to hold on to him because I know as soon as I open my eyes he will be gone. When I contact an actual body, my heart starts to hum. My eyes shoot open, I can’t take it, I turn around and standing there is someone I don’t know. His strong hands keep running through my hair, and his body feels like magic under my fingertips.

  “Thank you from bringing me home.” I say as I step closer to him.

  “You’re very welcome my pet. I will let you finish up, or would you like more help?” He asks.

  “More help please, I’m Tenelle …” I don’t get to finish because DM has placed his lips to mine.

  “Yes, and you have a sassy Snowy Owl named Snow. I know, your hair matches her wings.” He says and kisses me. I pull away after a moment, this shouldn’t be happening. I just lost my mate, and I have 3 to reconnect with.

  “Thank you, for the help, I need to get out though and go see a little boy named Hayden.” I say with my head leaning against his chin. He smiles at me, its soft and familiar.

  “No worries, things will happen when they are meant to. Just know, I am always here my pet.” DM says and places his hand on my chest again. I lift my eyes up and look into his, he has purple eyes, wait they aren’t purple they are midnight blue! He looks like Daxton and Mitchel combined, but a little taller around 6’4” and definitely more muscular. His shoulder length midnight blue hair with streaks of white hair and is pulled back in a braid. His eyes are framed nicely by high muscular cheek bones. His jaw has a soft angle to it, and he has a soft smile with full cherry red lips. I stand to my tippy toes and kiss him hard; he puts me against the walk, but has his arms wrapped around me so I don’t touch the cold tile. I feel the pull and it instantly feels like someone I know. He lifts me, and I wrap my legs around his waist. “If you keep doing that, I will have to truly experience your gorgeous body.” He says, I pull away and look at him with surprise.

  “Mitchel!” I say keeping my eyes on him. He smiles and nods, I slam my lips to his again and then feel him slide into me. I pull away again and moan. Nazareth, Levi and Enox all come in and join us in the shower.

  “Have we gotten clean little feather? Or can we all make you wet and sticky to clean you again?” Enox asks as he slip himself in my pussy too from a different angle. I am moaning for more, and then Nazareth slide into my ass. I lean over to my left panting and take Levi down my throat, while he stands on the wooden bench. The guys are going at it hard, and I am loving every second. Levi groans and warm cum slides down my throat. Each of the others soon follow, when they start to pull out, I miss them already.

  “We all need to reclaim our beautiful little feather here. But let’s first get Hayden to come out of his house. Then we will keep her screaming for the night.” Levi says, and I honestly think this could be the only time he will say anything that smart! We all get out of the shower and each take a turn fingering me as I bend over to dry my legs off. I hold onto Nazareth and make him sit down on a bench.

  “Let your wolf out please?” I ask, when I see his eyes go deep blue, I know his wolf is in control.

  “Oh, little owl! I can’t tell you how much I missed your sweet scent!” He says as I straddle him and start to ride his cock. He growls in pleasure, explodes between my legs, and I bite down just as he does. He release me and smiles, “I thought we were going to wait until after Hayden comes out?”

  “After I get Hayden out, I want to be in bed with all of you for days.” I say getting off of Nazareth and Levi comes back in. As he lifts me on the counter, his wolf is out too.

  “Why do you want us in bed for days with you little owl?” Levi says and starts slamming me hard.

  “Oh, fuck. I want you, all of you!” I say and start screaming for more. Just as another wave hits, Levi and I both bite down. Enox comes back into the bathroom too, keeping me right where Levi put me, and he slides in. The heat doesn’t stop, it just gets more intense with each mating. Enox and I both remark each other. My body’s becoming a canvas of mating marks with each one that appears. Mitchel comes back in with a smile, watching Enox finish, he leans against the door. I look to my wrist and the half sun half-moon is back.

  “Get your ass over here and fuck me.” I say and Mitchel walks over, puts my leg over his shoulder and thrusts deep and hard. “Fuck! Yes!” I scream as I put my hand on his chest and bite my lip. Mitchel slams all the way in and roars. He dumps a ton of cum into my pussy and I still want more of them.

  “Feel better little owl, or do we need to do it again?” Nazareth asks when we walk out to the bedroom. I don’t get to give them an answer, because Levi has me straddling his lap while lying on the bed, Nazareth pushes me forward to lay on Levi and pushes into my pussy too. Both start fucking me hard. Enox grabs a fist full of hair and starts thrusting into my throat at the same pace.

  “You like this little feather?” Enox asks through our mate bond.

  “I fucking love it!” I say back and get a chorus of pleasurable growls. All at once I feel cum being shot into me from every possible spot. The three of them pull out, I only move far enough to roll onto my side and get slammed hard with Mitchel’s cock. His hand is in my hair and he has his other one gently around my throat as he pounds his cock harder and harder into me.

  “I love you my pet, and never blame yourself again for what happened! You do and I am going to fuck you so hard you won’t walk! Do you hear me?” Mitchel says in my ear as he keeps going harder and harder.

  “Oh, fuck yes, please babe more, give me more!” I moan and then scream as Mitchel bites down. I feel a pulse of energy and then it explodes from my body in waves. When the energy fades, I am laying down breathless. Mitchel sits and brings me up, so I am sitting between his legs with my back to his chest. Enox climbs between my legs and just lays his head on my stomach, then Nazareth and Levi lay on either side.

  “What was that?” Levi asks looking at Mitchel and me.

  “That was the five points of Polaris being bound together. The reason as guards we only see pieces of it the map at a time, is it was broken, because I was broken. Now that we are all together and tied to this gorgeous little goddess, the map is whole again.” Mitchel says pointing up to the ceiling.

  “So, is it too soon to ask what happened after we went through the portal?” Nazareth says looking again at Mitchel, who in turn looks at me.

  “No, it’s fine, as long as someone doesn’t blame herself for it.” He says, and this time they all give me a look.

  “So, what did happen, we heard the first shot and then the portal closed.” Levi says as he takes my hand and intertwines our fingers.

  “There was a second shot, and I took it dead center in the chest.” I say looking off into space as the events play in my mind.

  “What?” Nazareth and Enox are both sitting on their knees looking at my body for scares. Center of my chest they both circle around a reddish bump.

  “When I saw her go down, I fought the bindings. I got out and went straight at Trin, Mary-Anne was fighting with something else, I didn’t see who or what. I was doing ok, until the effects of shooting Tenelle wore off. Then he shifted into his dragon, took a swing and I went flying backwards into a tree. He shattered my ribs on impact of his claw. I heard a horrifying scream, and then Snow was in front of me, crying. Telling me she loved me. I told her I was sorry for not stopping them, Snow promised to make they hurt for taking me away. The last thing I saw was Mary-Anne stab Snow, then that was it until I was in a cavern with Daxton. There was this white dog, she wasn’t a wolf. She said we weren’t being reborn; we were being put back together like we should have been. That was 2 days ago, Zed found me immediately because I was back at the house just down from Trin’s den, after she made me whole again. First thing I asked was where all of you were. He said you guys were all here, I needed to move my ass because he knew where Tenelle was, and it wasn’t safe. I phoned Scarlet; they connect
ed the coven house through a portal that only I would be able to active once I had Tenelle. Then I went down to the den and found Tenelle climbing out a window. I grabbed her, so Trin wouldn’t feel her leaving, that was when Zed closed the window and went back at Mary-Anne. You all know the rest, although the mate bond wasn’t rekindled until she showered.” Mitchel says with a chuckle as I poke his ribs.

  “Yea I can see that. Sorry little feather, you were damn stinky and not in a good way.” Enox says and I poke him too.

  “The white hound was Talisa, the Hellhound of Rebirth. She collects and carries the souls until it is time for them to come back. The goddess Nyx was why I didn’t get to you in time. She held me in the evergreen forest, where they summon me to for messages and tasks to be done. She told me I had to let you both die. I begged her not to take you away from me, I told her to I was sorry and that I would do anything not to have this as punishment. She told me it had to happen and that it wasn’t a punishment. I felt so broken for not keeping my promise and losing you. I thought I had you all in a safe place, but I was wrong because Daxton and you were taken anyways.” I say and I start to cry again, it feels like I am reliving it, and this is just a dream. That I am going to wake up back in Trin’s den. The guys all hold me as I cry, I bury myself in them. I don’t want to wake up. I feel a hand softly trace the scare from the knife Mary-Anne stabbed me with. I seriously don’t know how I keep making it out of these near-death situations. I look at Levi and watch as he kisses the scare. It starts to pull a bit and then it completely fades to the point it is no longer there. Nazareth does the same with the bullet scare and it too fades into fresh pink skin.

  “So why the initials DM?” Enox asks laying back down.

  “My parents weren’t original when naming me after splitting me in two. My name is Daxton Mitchel. Why no one ever picked up on that is weird, I knew my other halves name I just didn’t know where he was. Until Mary-Anne conveniently told me her mates name after tying me up. I went mental on them; they were trying to keep us separated to get Tenelle and claim her. They didn’t plan on Tenelle being as resourceful as she is, using her training and magic to keep them fucked. Tenelle’s one of the seven children of the gods. Meaning she’s a true goddess, I don’t know who she will take over for, but I would not want to piss this little owl off.” Mitchel says and brings his arms around my shoulders.
