Eveleen

"You need to find Corey and Raven now, little star," Morpheus said to me.

"Now?" I asked.

"Yes, now. Erebus plans to kill them to lure you out." I felt the air leave my lungs and my panic began to take hold. How could I save them? We hadn't figured it out yet, were they going to die because of me? "Little star, calm down." His hands closed around mine and I met his eyes. "I am going to help you. I will be your guide once again, and I will not leave you."

"I'm coming as well," Victor said, placing his hand on my shoulder. "You will need to pull from my powers."

"Me too," Kota spoke up. "They are essentially in the canine family. Cade says we need to be there and I trust him to keep you safe."

Morpheus let out a laugh, "Well, I certainly didn't expect an orgy on the first day in the family."

"What?" I gaped.

"Oh little star, how else am I taking us there if not in dreams? To tether us together, we need to be, um...together," he said with a cheeky grin.

"Oh fuck," I muttered.

He laughed and leaned closer, his mouth hovering above mine, "Exactly," then his lips crashed against mine. I'm not sure if it was him or Marc, but the room felt like it had filled with lust in seconds as his hands fingered through my hair and he tugged me flush against him, our clothing gone. I could hear the sounds of the others giving in to their desires as well.

His voice filled our minds. At the moment of orgasm, the spell will cause your bodies to be frozen. You and your partner - or partners will also freeze but remain here mentally. For those who are not an anchor or traveling, keep the room secure. I doubt Erebus or Kaylie can enter Faerie, but stay vigilant. Time will move differently for us. What might appear to be seconds, may be hours when we enter their realm. Do not touch those who are frozen. If you break the spell, it might break the tether and separate our souls from our bodies.

I let out a soft cry as I felt him enter me. "Fuck, little star," he groaned, then kissed me again. His tears fell onto my cheeks as he began to thrust inside of me. My own tears streamed as he laced his fingers with mine. A wave of magic flooded me as he pressed kisses to my neck and collarbone, then leaned up to meet my gaze. "I am yours," he whispered. My body began to clench around him as he filled me.

Suddenly, the world felt like it had stopped moving and I opened my eyes to see dark caverns. Morpheus squeezed my hand as I looked around to see both Victor and Kota, well, Cade near us. I felt an odd tingling sensation and looked down at my arm. A new mark now swirled along with the other bond marks. Morpheus shrugged his shoulders and grinned as he turned his arm to show me his. They looked like bolts of lightning moving across our arms. Soulmate or not, somehow, we had formed the bond. I could feel it zipping through my body even now.

A deep growling sound pulled my focus back to the caverns. It was a faint sound at first, but soon it grew louder as they both approached. Raven's form was much larger, his fangs fully bared, ears laid back. His paws were massive as they pushed into the sandy soil under our feet. Corey was just as terrifying despite his smaller stature. They moved in sync with one another, sniffing the air as they came closer. I felt my heart begin to race as Cade growled in response and Victor let out a chuffing sound from his dragon.

Raven and Corey ignored both of them, instead, honing in on me. Their amber eyes locked on to me as they slowly moved closer. Trust yourself, Morpheus said with a soft squeeze to my hand before he let go and took a step away.

Cade and Victor started to move closer to me, but I held up my hand to stop them. "Éist liom, a ghrá. (Hear me, my loves)," I said gently. Corey halted, cocking his head to the side, but Raven growled and continued moving closer. "Raven," I said louder. "Mo bhéar, please hear me." He stopped, fangs still glistening.

His deep voice boomed in my head, Mate! I sank to my knees, tears rolling down my face. He stepped closer, his snout pressing against my neck. I knew what was about to happen, and somewhere deep in my mind, I accepted that it needed to happen.

"Don't interfere," I said quietly. I heard Cade growl as he realized that Raven was going to mark me.

Raven licked at my neck, then let out a feral growl as his fangs sank into my shoulder. I whimpered as he clamped hard. Mate, mate, mate, he chanted.

Yes, mo bhéar, I am your mate and your wife. I need you to recognize me, to come back to us now. Your family misses you, your children miss and need you too, I told him.

Malen'kaya boginya, he purred. Let moy solnechnyy svet mark you as well.

My heart sang at his words despite his still altered form. He pulled back, licking at my wound, giving me a wolfish grin. He made a guttural sound and Corey came closer. He sniffed at Raven's mark, then yipped before sinking his fangs in next to the mark. I let out a low moan as his connection roared through my body.

I've missed you dream girl, his voice purred in my mind. I can smell your wolf. This form really wants to take you in that form.

I choked back a strangled cry as my core flooded with desire at the thought. Soon mo ghrian, but first we have to get you and Raven home, then we need to get Brandon back. Come home with me, my loves, please, I begged them both. Corey released my neck, then sealed the mark.

They both took a step back and bowed their heads to me. I reached out for them when I heard a voice that made my blood run cold.

"Guess I don't need to find you after all, little fairy," Erebus said. "How nice of you to show up." He doesn't know I've changed. Help me keep it concealed, I begged Victor and Morpheus. Cade snarled, drawing his attention. "Oh look, Sang's little pup is here too along with the dragon and the half god-half broken man." I evened my breathing, realizing he had no idea what had happened to all of us. Raven and Corey snarled, then circled me, putting themselves between us. "Looks like you've been marked, Eveleen. Have they fucked you as well?"

Keeping my glamor in place, I turned to face the bastard. "Not recently," I said flatly. "I'm sure we'll get around to it."

His eyebrows arched at my impertinence. "Seems someone has found some courage. Perhaps I should use Deimos spell on you again. You made such a lovely and compliant little kitten. The way you rode my cock was simply perfect, Eveleen. I'm sure you'll enjoy it again soon, won't you?" I could feel his shadows pushing at my mind.

I knew if I fought too much, he'd catch on, but if I surrendered fully we might never leave. I felt a wave of magic rush through me as Morpheus whispered in my mind - I release you. My head snapped toward him as I realized what he was doing. The room began to swirl as my hands reached out and gripped both Raven and Corey, pulling them back with me.

My eyes snapped open and I let out a scream as Morpheus' body vanished.

I'm back to class so updates may get a bit more sporadic...my brain is mush right now.
