Divine Ecstasy (The Guardians of the Realms Book 8) (28 page)

P released a burst of his unique thrall-like ability through the bond, and Sacha and Hades jolted. It was enough to relax Hades’ iron hold on his son. Her male roared, but it was too late. Already P was standing in front of them, unleashing his hidden ability to calm while placing himself in front of the portal with his wings outstretched.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Era and Drake expelled a barrage of power that ripped away the warriors’ weapons before they’d fully stepped through.

Three incredibly powerful beings and two ancient-looking giant black lynx were between the warriors, and Sacha felt the combined power whipping the elements to near hurricane force.

They stood over the rippling water of the lake. P’s beautiful female stood beside two males. One massive bare-chested one in a kilt with golden eyes and brown hair, and the other, the most powerful of the three, stood in the center. The center male had Hades’ height and bulk, with wavy black hair pulled back and a short dark beard. His green eyes were hard and commanding. He reminded her of a darker version of Drake.

Before anything else could happen, the two black lynx prowled ahead of them and rent the skies with a wild earsplitting roar. It wasn’t just noise, it was filled with a power so strong and pure it rocked the ground beneath their feet. It was enough to drop Bastian and Tasha from mist as it left them all immobile. And she was furious and worry filled at the sight of her son vulnerable to whatever they were facing.

Hades roared his fury as his wings flexed as he fought to break the hold.

The new warriors had dropped to their knees as if by compulsion. And Sacha felt the same pull, but she’d never kneel. She and Hades fought to move, and fear rocked her for a moment before easing away as the cats’ golden gaze set on hers. There was something she couldn’t place, but it was ancient and intelligent. The female’s wide eyes settled on P without leaving as the other males stared at the beasts they’d brought through.

The dark male eyed the cats.

Both sides seemed to have been equally caught, but the others weren’t fighting it like the Guardians and Hades were.

She watched as the felines separated, one moving to sit directly in front of P and the other prowling in front of the Goddess, and only then did the power holding them finally ease some. The dark male eyed the beast in front of P before looking up at Hades’ son, assessing them before he snarled a command in the old language of the Creators, “It’s time we speak instead of fight.”

Chapter 33

Tria’s Prison, Hell Realm

“He has no idea.” Than’s sinister cackle echoed off the dank cavern walls of their prison.

Anguished cries of the dead filled Deimos’ soul with such supreme pleasure his cock hardened, but the vision of Hades’ furious face only made it stiffen more. Ah, the God’s female, he smacked his lips, she would know the sweet agony of their cocks soon enough.

“No. He doesn’t feel it.” He laughed as he faced his brothers, both identical versions of himself. Their pale almost gray skin and black eyes lit with flames. He rolled his massive shoulders and tilted his head back to enjoy the scent of pain and suffering. It was like mother’s milk to them, and he fed deeply on it as his brothers fucked their toys ruthlessly. The screeches and anguished cries of the violated creatures only drove them on and filled their dark souls with energy, topping up the power they would be using soon enough.

“He is weak. They will have no choice but to free us!” Phobos’ glee-filled tone made Deimos smile.

Hades, Aphrodite and Athena couldn’t have given them a more perfect prison. Their power had only strengthened and adapted to new extremes in the last millennia. A few decades had been all it had taken to force the flow of dark souls directly into their space. They now had a never-ending fountain of pain to feed from after they’d learned just what they could do with those souls.

And now pure beautiful darkness was coming for this world. His lips stretched into a terrifying rictus of a smile.

Hades would free them whether he wanted to or not. When the darkness finally came and the other Gods were released, it would only require one death… Hades, Aphrodite or Athena would fall, and one crack to their prison was all it would take to reign supreme in the world.

Soon.

A creature screamed in pain as Deimos lashed out, grabbing it by its throat.

But first, he would feast.

COMING SOON!
