Book two: Darkest times
  • Zeph was stunned to hear about how many males that female had gone through, "How did you figure that out?" Zeph asked reyna asked
  • "I would always get updates about my elder sister's relationship status and would always be asked about mine. I guess because I didn't act like a whore like my elder sister did, my father wanted nothing to do with me."
  • "Did you not be with anyone because you wanted to or did something else keep you from doing so?" Zeph asked
  • "I felt nothing for no one, I had no idea what 'love' felt like. It wasn't until I ended up being around people that genuinely cared for me that I understood what it meant to be loved." Reyna stated seriously "The main person who showed me that is you."
  • He looked up at her flustered. "R-Reyna…I…I was merely-"He started to say before she kissed him.
  • "It's okay Zeph, I'm happy to have you at my side…but I must ask. Are you going to leave me like Avery did?" She asked sadly
  • He turned them around so he was on top of her before he looked at her seriously, it was rather easy to see that he was peeved. "I'm not going to be a damn * like that moron has been. He almost got himself *ing killed and didn't stand up to his *ing father or grand father. It took you saving his ass for him to be safe and he chose to repay you by *ing you over. I am not that stupid. I know how to stand up for myself for the most part and I would never put you in pain."
  • Reyna looked at him with teary eyes. "Z-Zeph?"
  • His hold on her hands became slightly tighter as he pressed his forehead against hers. "If I am to be your marked mate, if I am to be at your side-I want to know that I will always be your number one. That you'll never want to go to anyone else."
  • Reyna rubbed her thumbs against the sides of his hands as she looked into his eyes. "Zeph, I vow to you on our pact and markings that from here on out, my heart and soul will be yours if you chose to have me. I love you and I will always love just you. All of me will be all yours if you desire to have me."
  • Hearing the powerful words that came out of her, he knew that if he rejected her now-it wouldn't look good on him. He squeezed her hands lightly as he gave her a small smile. "Reyna, I vow to you on our pact and markings that from here on out, I will cherish you as you are. I will love you as you are, changing nothing about who and what you are." Zeph spoke softly and sincerely to her before he held onto both of her hands close to him and kissed the top of both of them. "I hereby request from my heart to yours to have the title being your significant other. Will you allow me to be your boyfriend, Reyna?"
  • Hearing the question that came out of him, it stunned her-but it also made her smile. "Y-Yes Zeph. I would love that."
  • He smiled at hearing her words to him before he kissed her on the lips as he placed his hand on the mark on her hip under her shirt. Reyna whimpered out, feeling his hand against the marking on her hip. "Z-Zeph…D-Don't touch there unless you-"
  • He kissed her again to cut her off as he pulled her closer to him. "You are officially mine, Reyna, I want to make sure that your mind realizes that I'm not leaving you for anything or anyone." He stated as he slipped her tank top off of her body
  • She looked up at him flustered. "A-Are you sure doing this before we are married is a good idea?"
  • "Do you not feel comfortable enough around me to do this now?" He asked concerned
  • She shook her head no. "No it's not that, I just don't want you to go against your word. My trust in people is very low." She said sadly "Words don't mean * to me Zeph."
  • Zeph placed his hand back on the mark on her hip as he took one of her hands and placed her hand on the mark on his hip. "We are meant for one another, we will always have one another. Unlike that * wraith that had ripped your heart out and burnt it-I don't wish to do that to you. I wish to love and care for you as the beautiful, talented woman that you are to me."
  • "S-So…this isn't just going to be a simple now thing is it?"
  • "Goodness no, once we are bound together I intend to take time to be with you like this again without the worry of you dying on me."
  • "Then show me…Show me that you love me. Show me that you aren't going to leave me Zeph. I'm ready to see the actions behind the words you speak."
  • Zeph knew then that he had to make sure that his actions spoke louder than his words did. So he started by kissing up her left leg softly before he slipped her panties off of her body, from underneath her nightgown. Reyna had no idea what he was doing due to having no idea what it was like to be loved by someone so intimately, so as she felt his tongue slip inside of her, she let out a surprised gasp as her eyes shut. Reyna held onto the sides of the bed tightly not knowing where else to hold onto. Zeph didn't act cocky about getting her to moan out, he didn't know how far she had been previously to the wraith that had hurt her. What bond they had shared together.
  • What Zeph did was pleasure her the best that he could, which gave him a lot of vocal responses from the red haired female. As she orgasmed she panted out tiredly-she was too flustered to tell him that he was the first to go so far with her. So when he finally showed his face to her, he was stunned to see Reyna so flustered.
  • "Princess?"
  • "I-I've never gone....I've never gone far with him. W-We've never gotten sexual with one another. Sure we kiss b-but that's about it."
  • Zeph was surprised to hear what he had from Reyna. "Y-You're telling me that..."
  • "M-Mhm...T-That was the first time I've ever felt something like that."
  • "I...I wasn't too bad was I?"
  • She shook her head no. "I...I actually feel a bit better."
  • "O-Oh...Well. A-Are you okay with me going further than this princess?"
  • She rolled her eyes. "Please can you call me by my name? Yes I'm a princess, but I prefer you to call me Reyna or Rey. It's * like that-that keeps me from wanting to be around you."
  • He blinked his eyes a few times. "Well if that's the case, I hope you're ready for what you've signed up for saying that Rey."
  • Before she could ask him what he meant by that, he had kissed her on the lips and began to take his own clothes off of him. She placed her hands against his chest and helped him strip out of his clothes. As the last piece of clothing left Zeph's body, he was turned over as she moved her hands against his shaft making him moan into the kiss as his hands were on her waist. As it became too much for him, he parted from her lips.
  • "R-Rey...* Y-Your hands..."
  • "You can't tell me this doesn't feel good Zephie...Y'know when you took control how you had-I honestly thought you had turned to be a different person. I always thought you'd be too shy and scared to do anything to get close to me. But I'm happy to have you at my side, now allow me to give you the same treatment you've given me love."
  • Zeph couldn't say a word due to feeling her mouth against his shaft making him moan louder, he had a hand laced within her red hair-but he didn't force her down more than she was comfortable with. When he got close he could only say 'Rey' repeatedly as he moaned out until he came into her mouth.
  • He then became lax against the bed as he panted out. "Holy gods I was not prepared for that.."
  • Reyna giggled as she licked her lips. "Poor princy Zephie can't handle my love and affection?" She cooed and mocked in a childish tone
  • He slightly recovered himself as he pushed her down onto the bed. He laced his fingers with hers as he lined himself up with her womanhood. "Last chance before I take your first time Rey, is this really something you want to do right now?"
  • "I'm very sure, I want us to be together forever Zephie, you make me so happy. I love you so much." She said happily
  • "I love you too Rey, I'll never treat you as horrible as that man before me had done to you."
  • Zeph kissed her on the lips before he slipped himself inside of her fully. She whimpered out a bit as she held onto his hands tightly. She hadn't expected it to give her a sharp pain between her legs as it had. When she recovered from the stinging pain between her legs, she squeezed one of his hands to know that she was ready for him to move.
  • Zeph slowly began to move, he didn't want to harm the princess under him. He didn't care if she was half demonic. Her angelic side was more of his worry, being that she was half angelic she was still prone to breaking in half due to too much pain. Once she began to moan like she had when he first began to pleasure her, he went a bit faster and harder.
  • Her hand soon went from under his to being against his bare back as he pulled away from the kiss and kissed down her neck then to her breasts softly. "Z-Zeph! F-*...M-More!" Reyna whimpered out as she slipped one of her hands into his hair softly "Please, * me harder."
  • Hearing her beg for what she wanted he held onto one of her hips as he gave into her pleading, wanting to pleasure the princess under him as much as he could. "Like that Rey? You like how I'm *ing you right now?"
  • Reyna nodded her head as she moaned louder with her eyes shut, Zeph held onto her hips tighter and slammed himself hard into her making her scream out loudly. "ZEPH!"
  • "Say it Rey, don't just nod your head at me. I want to hear you say it."
  • She whimpered out, but did as he told her. "Y-Yes...Yes I like how you're *ing me. P-Please don't stop Zeph."
  • "Oh I have no intention of doing that, not until you pass out from pure pleasure that I give you." He said as he pulled her up with him, making her wrap her legs around his waist as he did so.
  • Reyna held onto him tightly and moved her hips with his until she finally had her orgasm which he followed in suit after her as he placed her down on the bed softly before he kissed her on the lips passionately one last time. She happily kissed him back as she had one of her hands on the side of his face.
  • "Zeph…I'm so happy to have you with me."
  • "As I am happy to have you as well, Rey. Now, we should get up. You have much to do today. I'll be with you every step of the way." He said with a smile
  • She nodded her head and smiled at him. "Okay Zephie."
  • They both bathed and got themselves dressed before getting out of her room. When Hyun saw the two of them up he changed out of his dragon form and smiled at the two of them. "Reyna you gonna be alright now?"
  • Reyna smiled at Hyun. "Yes, I'll be very alright Hyun. Were you guarding my room?"
  • Hyun nodded his head. "I was, that * Tamaya wanted to get you out of your room cause you were 'late' to your training. I told her to go * Damien and to leave you alone."
  • Reyna laughed hearing him speak, she then hugged him tightly. "You've just made my day Hyun, thank you for that. I'll deal with her later. I need to eat before I do anything else today."
  • Hyun smiled and nodded his head as the three of them walked together to the place where everyone had gathered to eat only to see Aphrodite there talking with Eric and William. Aphrodite stopped speaking as she saw Reyna with the two males.
  • "Ah, Reyna, there you are dearie." She said with a smile before she went up to her "I'm glad you've chosen someone."
  • Reyna hugged Zeph's arm tightly. "Of course I did, I want to have someone to lean on." She said with a smile
  • When William saw that she had chosen one of his children's kin he felt himself being a bit proud of himself to have met the young woman. "I see you've chosen the proper choice Reyna. Zeph will do well beside you." william said speaking up
  • Reyna smiled. "You've done so much to help me, it's the least that I could do sir."
  • Zeph smiled down at Reyna as he heard her speak, before he looked at Aphrodite, William and Eric. "Is there something going on? It's rare to see the three of you speak to one another."
  • "Yes actually, Tamaya seems to think that Damen is ready to take on Tina-we don't think he is. So we've been discussing it and we want to place Reyna and Damien up against one another. If he can defeat the prophet he will go up against Tina. If he cannot then he must train more under my guidance." William stated
  • Reyna's eyes lit up hearing that she could beat the * out of Damien. "Let me eat first and we can do that!" She said excitedly
  • William chuckled a bit. "It seems you are a bit too eager to do so Princess."
  • "I've been itching for a reason to beat the * out of that guy! Tamaya's actions are going to bite her in the ass." Reyna said excitedly
  • "You should eat first, then deal with that disgrace." Eric said seriously
  • Reyna nodded her head and went to eat first, as she ate with Hyun and Zeph she was really pumped to be able to beat Damien down a few pegs. After she finished eating she looked at William. "I'm ready to go!"
  • "Then lets proceed." William said as the other two finished and went by her side
  • They went to the court yard where Tamaya was getting a bit too close to the raven haired male. "Damien, your test will now commence. Your test will be to bring the prophet down and have her back be touching the cement ground without her getting up. If you can do that you will go against Goddess Tina, if you cannot and you become the one on the ground, you shall be tutored by me and watched very thoroughly." William said seriously
  • Damien looked straight at Reyna and used the vines around her to grab a hold of her. Reyna looked at William calmly. "Am I only to use my earth magic William?"
  • "No, you may use all of your magic that you see fit."
  • Hearing that she chuckled darkly and broke out of the vines easily before she teleported behind him and kicked him rather hard in the back making him fly across the court yard landing three times before he finally stopped. Tamaya teared up seeing him so beat up. "Don't hurt him that badly!" She pleaded
  • "Get lost *!" Reyna growled angered "You've lost my respect when you chose to focus your attention on a mere demon boy than on me! You were brought here to teach me NOT HIM!"
  • Tamaya sobbed out as she rushed out of the court yard. Reyna looked at Hyun. "Get Zeph to higher ground. I don't wish for you two to be harmed."
  • Hyun nodded his head going into his dragon form and the two of them went into the sky as they watched Reyna deal with Damien. Reyna waited for him to get up before she did anything else.
  • "What the hell was that?!" Damien asked growling out angered
  • "I merely kicked you with all my strength. No magic was used." She said with a shrug
  • He went up to her with his own teleportation spell only for her to grab his hand and twist it with ease before she threw him into the ground face first. "You're boring me with this nonsense." She said with a sigh
  • She then stepped back and she focused her energy and magic into the ground around her before she made a lava protection circle around her. When Damien saw this he was *ed and tried to get around it only for his vines to not be able to harm her one bit due to the lava protection circle burning all of the vines he tried to get around it. Once she was able to wear the male down she placed the protection circle down and she pushed him down with a few pieces of cement.
  • Once he was down she went up to him and stepped on his chest as she looked down at him with a cold look upon her face. "With this defeat, I hope you not realize what is at stake. You will train under lord William and you will listen to him. You will stay as far as possible from his disgrace of a daughter Tamaya and you will do as you are told. If you do not I will summon Goddess tina to take care of you herself. You aren't truly needed, so keep that in mind…maggot." She said coldly before she got her foot off of him and looked at William.
  • William clapped his hands, impressed with her. "Seems like he isn't ready to defeat Tina-unlike you. If you wish I can call upon Tina to see if she's willing to test you."
  • Reyna shook her head. "I know I'm not ready, there's still a bit I'm uncertain about. So I want to be able to train a bit more under Riki before I go against Goddess Tina."
  • William looked at her impressed. "I see, so you know where your magic is now I presume."
  • Reyna nodded her head as she had her hands in front of her together. "Mhm, Lord Eric had showed me how to do so last night."
  • "I see, he's actually good for something…wouldn't have pegged him to be able to do something like that though." William said in thought
  • "Eric has dealt with magic users before-aside from myself. "Tina said as she walked towards them
  • "Goddess Tina!" Reyna said happily before she bowed to her. "It's an honor to have you here ma'am."
  • "Thank you dearie. I came here on behalf of Aphrodite who said that I needed to play mother with a certain male." Tina said with a huff before she looked around. "It seems like you wiped the floor with the guy, you held back didn't you Reyna?"
  • Reyna nodded her head. "I did."
  • "You shouldn't have, he deserved getting the full force of what you have to offer."
  • Reyna shrugged a bit, "eh, I wanted to be sure he was alive enough for Lord William to be able to handle him."
  • Tina giggled a bit. "I guess you do have a point there, you would have killed the guy." Tina said amused before she looked at Damien who was just sitting on the ground upset
  • Tina then went up to him and bent down so they'd see eye to eye. "Have we learnt our lesson?"
  • "How the * is she more powerful than I am?! I thought demons exceeded angels?!"
  • Tina raised an eyebrow at him. "Reyna is both demon and angel dearest Damien. She can have the strength and magic of both inside of her. She isn't one to be messed with, especially by you. You may have my blood within you, but that doesn't mean that you are stronger or at par with her."
  • Damien looked down ashamed of himself. "Tamaya told me that I should be the stronger one of the two of us, which was why she chose to focus her attention on me instead of Reyna…and I believed that stupidly."
  • Reyna didn't want to hear anymore of what Damien had to say and looked up. "Hyun dear, come down we're going to find Riki."
  • The white dragon went down and the trio left the area. Reyna followed the scent of the death and musk that wraiths left behind until she found Riki messing around with his magic. When he saw Reyna he stopped and smiled at her. "What can I do you for Rey?" He said with a smile
  • "Afternoon Riki, I need your assistance. I am well aware that your kin know a lot about earth magics due to the dark chaotic ground that your kin live on. I am also aware of all of your siblings and you. That you're the strongest magically that came from that family. Would you assist me with controlling my earth magic?" She asked curiously
  • Riki was stunned to hear her request but smiled at her and nodded his head. "Of course, It'd be my honor to help you out Rey." He said as he bowed his head to her "Now before I begin, I want to see where your magic stands for earth magic. We're going to go up the tiers of earth magic and from there see what you can and can't do."
  • Reyna happily nodded her head as the two males who came with her stayed out of their way but watched to see what would happen with them. Riki and her went through five different tiers of earth magic before Tamaya came up to them and she full forced attacked Reyna. Riki saw this and blocked the magic coming towards Reyna with his own earth magic.
  • "Stand down you disgusting piece of trash! I'm going to kill that *!" Tamaya said angered
  • Riki shook his head. "I will not stand down and I will not watch you destroy the prophet." He said calmly
  • Tamaya went to strangle the male only for Zeph and Hyun to grab the female and pick her up above the ground which startled her. "What the?! PUT ME DOWN!"
  • Zeph looked at Hyun amused. "Let's listen to the lady and put her down."
  • Hyun nodded his head and threw her out of the protection of the kingdom, she tried to get back in only to not be able to. "LET ME IN YOU PIECE OF *! YOU MADE DAMIEN NOT BE AROUND ME! YOU'LL PAY FOR TAKING HIM FROM ME!" Tamaya shouted
  • Reyna looked sadly at the three males. "This…this is getting a bit out of hand…don't you guys think?"
  • "I'll personally talk with Lord William, you continue your training with Riki." Zeph said as he jumped down from being on top of Hyun as he went up to her
  • She looked at him with a small sad smile. "Very well. Do be careful Zeph."
  • He cupped her face and kissed her on the lips. "I will be, I promise."
  • Zeph then left out, Hyun wasn't that far behind him. When the two males were gone Riki looked at her sadly. "Y'know…I'm kinda jealous of that Zeph guy." Riki said weakly
  • She raised an eyebrow at him. "Why?"
  • "He gets to kiss you and be able to love you. I'm not even given the thought of being able to do so."
  • Reyna tilted her head to the side curiously. "I knew it was odd that Avery and you argued a lot, but I had no idea that you two would argue about me. Is that why you hate your brother for? Cause he had his connection to me?"
  • Riki nodded his head. "Correct, I got smarter and stronger to be able to do what he can't do. I wanted to be able to be at your side-to be able to take you from him." He said sadly
  • Reyna shut her eyes and let out a small sigh before she opened her eyes and looked at him with a sad smile. "I can tell you this much Riki, there are many things that may happen after I defeat Amara.I won't know anything for sure until that man is dead. So please…don't give up your hope just yet."
  • Riki frowned but nodded his head. "Alright…so let's get back to the spells yeah?"
  • Reyna nodded her head back. "Mhm."
  • Once Riki found where she was with her spell casting he was able to gauge where to go from there. He had to go behind her and show her just how to hold her hands and how to have her feet to do certain spells. By the time the sun went down Riki had taught her all that was left for her to be taught. At that time Tina had gone to get them, Tina could tell there was something different about Reyna.
  • "Within the small amount of time you've been alone with my child, you've gotten stronger. I can tell by your magical aura. Did you want to test me before we go in for the night?"
  • Reyna firmly nodded her head. "I do."
  • Tina got her staff out and she motioned for Reyna to come forth. "Let's see what you've learnt young child."
  • Reyna was quick to summon lava under Tina which burnt the bottom of her robes which caught her attention rather quickly, she took out the flames only to get pulled up into a tree by vines that wrapped around her body making her drop her staff. Tina was stunned at how quick she was to move and what she had used. Reyna let her down to the ground, but didn't let her guard down. Tina threw everything she had at Reyna with her fire, water and ice magic only to get walled each time.
  • With each spell she casted Reyna got closer and closer until she managed to make a stone wall around the goddess. Tina called it truce before she placed the wall down. Tina clapped her hands proudly as she smiled. "Very well done Reyna…and Riki thank you for helping her out. Your parents should be proud to have you as their son. Not only did you save the prophet, you've helped her more than her last wraith partner ever did."
  • Riki bowed his head respectfully. "T-Thank you goddess Tina. It is a blessing to me to hear your kind words ma'am."
  • Tina then motioned for them to come with her, they did quietly.
