Gabriel

The surge of power that went through me when I finished the apple was unreal. When my eyes landed on Eveleen, nothing else mattered. I needed to kiss her, to feel her - right then. I pulled her against my chest and chuckled, "Um, excuse us for a moment," then teleported us to Cailleach's grove. I crashed my mouth against hers as she began to moan. Fuck, I needed to hear more of those. I felt like a teenager as I pulled our clothing off, our lips instantly falling back together as each piece fell to the ground. In moments, I had her on the ground, her legs draped over my arms as I delved into her folds, pressing my tongue deep inside.

"Gabriel!" Her screams echoed across the grove as her orgasm tore through her, but I wasn't ready to stop. I flipped her over so that she was kneeling over my face as I continued to lap at her. Her legs trembled and she whined, but I wouldn't let her move away until she had cum a second time. Even then, I only let her scoot down until I gripped her hips and pushed myself into her core. I filled her again and again for hours before we laid down in the plush grass, her head on my chest. "Odin forbid anyone else eats one of those damn apples. I don't think I'd survive," she muttered playfully.

I nipped at her neck, "You're immortal, little wolf, of course, you'd survive. You'll just be very sore and very exhausted." I laughed in response to the look she gave me. "Besides, you've always kept up with Loki."

"That's one god," she snorted. "The count seems to keep rising...Loki, Victor, Owen, you." Her eyes went wide and she slapped my arm, "Did you just get me pregnant?"

"Huh? You've had sex with all of us since we've been back and now you ask," my head fell back as I broke out laughing.

"Yeah, but you're a freaking god...that's what happened with Owen and Victor!"

I placed both our hands on her stomach, "Do you feel anything?" She gave me an odd look and I huffed, "If we're both gods, then you will be able to tell. Didn't Owen say he knew before you even left that day? Well, focus on and see for yourself." I already knew she wasn't pregnant, but I want her to feel it for herself. Odin was right, I hadn't trusted myself, and neither did she.

"I don't feel anything," she muttered.

"That's because there isn't anything to feel," I said and kissed her nose. "You aren't pregnant, little wolf. Now, should you decide you want to be," I growled and pulled her onto my chest, "I'd be more than happy to oblige."

"Gabriel!," she squealed as I began tickling her. She thrashed until I pulled her lips to mine again and whimpered, "My Gabriel," she kissed me, "I love you, m'anam."

"My little wolf, my miracle, my wife, I love you completely, Eveleen," I whispered as our lips and bodies met once again.

Eveleen

"Are you feeling okay, Pixie?" Luke asked with a smirk.

"I'd make your pants blow up or something, but your magic is just as strong as mine now, so..." I mused. "I still wonder if more of you are gods or at least the equivalent of now."

Marc snickered, "You know, I seem to remember a similar conversation once long ago when we tried to figure out who was still human. I get the feeling that all of us are evolving, Minx."

I winced as I pulled a pillow onto my lap, "I think you're right. So on that note, any ideas on how to get Raven and Corey back? Or when we think Erebus will make his move?"

"Well, Morpheus has been silent since our coronation," Sean said. "He hasn't even shown up in my dreams."

"Deimos hasn't come to mine since he and Brandon became connected either," I added.

"When you brought Marc back, could you sense them at all?" Victor asked me placing Ash in my arms as he pulled me onto his lap. I sighed as I felt the warmth of his powers gently flowing through me. He was like my very own sexy heat pad. My mind drifted to thoughts of dragon mating, late-night spankings, and being devoured by him, Gabriel, and Loki. "Jewel," he purred as I had become lost in my own thoughts.

"Oh, um, sorry," I muttered.

He chuckled and whispered into my ear, "I am more than happy to fulfill those naughty thoughts my precious jewel. As for those last ones, I have no doubt Gabriel and Loki will be thrilled." My cheeks flushed as they both gave me heated stares. Holy fuck, sex with three gods and a goddess...my thighs clenched. "Now, back to my question."

I let out a frustrated breath, "I could sense them, and they sensed me, even to the point of hearing my command when they started snarling at me."

"How did they react to your command, and did you say it out loud or in your head?" Nate asked.

I paused for a moment, "I think it was in my head. I told them something like be quiet and they both whimpered."

Luke and Nate grinned, "That's a good thing, Pixie. It means that somewhere deep, they still know you. Think back to the day Deimos brought you to us. Nate and I could still feel a connection. We hadn't reacted to Deimos in a long time until that day."

"I wanted to rip his damn throat out when he took you away, and Luke was despondent for weeks," Nate said. "No matter what, our connections persisted deep down. We just have to find a way to trigger it with them. But what about Brandon?"

"That isn't her responsibility," Owen said. "North is the only one who can save him."

North's eyes widened, "Me? What can I do?"

"That is a question you should be asking your patron," Owen told him. "She is well versed in hollows. Find Jace too. This is the only task in which Eveleen cannot participate. Her powers cannot help him - none of ours can." He walked to him, placing his hands on his shoulders. It was odd to see them so similar in height and build now. "Trust in your bond with your husband, North. You are far stronger than you know and have only scratched the surface of your own powers."

North nodded solemnly and then pulled him into a tight hug. When he let him go, he knelt before me. His large hand cupped my chin. "I may be gone for a bit, Queen. I love you. Reach out in the bond if you need me to return," then he placed a steamy kiss on my lips as Ash giggled wildly.

He pulled back and smiled at Ash. "Be good little man. Watch out for your mama and daddies okay?" He kissed his forehead and then made a choking sound. We all gasped as a thin veil of smoke enveloped both of them as both of their eyes turned pitch black. He tugged at North's cheek as tears began to run down North's face. This lasted several minutes until the smoke cleared and their eyes were normal once again "He showed me Brandon. I spoke to him, I touched him," North croaked, his shoulders starting to shake as he gently hugged Ash. I placed my arms around both of them, as Victor continued to hold me at my waist. "Thank you," North muttered to Ash who once again was giggling.

He kissed me suddenly, then stood, "I need to go now. He said Erebus and Kaylie are getting frustrated about Queen stealing us back. He took Kaylie's true soul...he destroyed it."

"That's going to make her twice as dangerous," Axel breathed. "She will have no concern or care - no matter how warped for them now."

"At least we still have the advantage of knowing how he will come after Star," Sean said. "Now we just need to get Raven and Corey back."

"And now we've come full circle," I groaned as North left to seek out Jace and Nyx. "How?"
