Nyx’s pov
The moon shone brightly casting its silver rays on the sea as it’s waves crashed. My eyes trailed up to the sky to see the sea gulls fluttering their wings as they flew, their caws filled the sky resonating in the atmosphere. I felt the breeze blow gently against my skin and sweep through my blonde locs as I pushed my toes into the cool sound feeling the grains beneath my feet.
Tonight wasn’t particularly quiet as there was a bonfire at the beach resort. Everyone had been invited. They said it was an avenue for the guests to socialize even if the sole purpose of them coming here was to get away from everyone and relax in peace.
Humans are weird, Hera had said when the Lycus told us about the invitation and they considered it somewhat disrespectful and unkind not to honor it.
“Don’t get too close to the water,” I yelled after Amara as she stood from my side and ran towards the banks of the ocean. I knew I had to keep an eye on her knowing I haven’t been a good mother but I was trying. My gaze was fixated on her as she bounced along the banks playing with her almost ruined sandcastle which she had built earlier today. I smiled seeing her happy and free, knowing that she didn’t have anything to worry about anymore, my smile grew feeling tiny hands pinching my arms and babyish gibberish being spewed in my ear.
“Come here.” I picked Eros from my side and brought him to my lap tickling him as I did so. He laughed in response to my antics baring his milk teeth, his green eyes gleamed as he giggled and his dark length of hair fell forward covering his eyes, “I think it’s time a hair cut baby.” I swept the hair backward before hugging him close and wrapping his arms around my neck.
Amara was running back to me now swinging her arms trying to show me what she held, “I found another seashell!” She screeched as she got to me, flashing it before my eyes, “Do you think there will be pearls in it?” She dropped the shell and ran off again before I could answer her and I Sighed.
Eros was taking after her gradually, mastering the art of crawling all over the place as Amara ran all over the place, and right now he was trying to pull away from me to play in the sand again. I stood up from the ground, placed him on my hips, and began to walk to where Amara was.
“It’s time to go baby.” I stretched out my free arm to her which she leapt off the floor and took and We began to walk back towards where the gathering was.
“There she is,” Lycus called with a smile on sighting me. He was standing in the midst of some of the couples we had met with his huge frame towering over them, it wouldn’t have been hard to spot him if he hadn’t said a word, “Hey.” He bent to kiss my cheek as I got to him and then he ruffled Amara’s hair before taking Eros from my arms, “I was just telling them about our wedding.” He winked at me and I laughed. We had a whole wedding story rehearsed to tell the humans if they asked as it was part of concealing our real identities.
“How are you finding Resort Miss Nyx?” A man whom I hadn’t noticed before and who had no one by his side asked me all of a sudden, “Is it very much to your liking?” He asked walking towards me, the other couples were distracted by their minor chatter now paying no attention to us and I could feel Lycus’s jealousy growing through the mate bond.
“You mean Mrs. Nyx Dardanos.” Lycus corrected gruffly directing his sharp gaze at the man, the tension in the air thickened, “Don’t make the mistake again my friend.”
“I believe the lady can speak for herself.” He replied rudely paying no heed to Lycus’s words before returning his leering gaze at me which made me uncomfortable.
“Disrespect towards myself or my husband shall not be tolerated,” I said in my authoritative voice that caught him off guard, if we were in our world, he would have been dead by now but that can’t happen here, Be calm, I mind linked Lycus but he replied with a grunt.
“I love a lady who is assertive.” The man winked and I was convinced that he surely had a death wish, “You are remarkably attractive.”
“And we are leaving.” Lycus grabbed my arm, I grabbed Amara’s and we began to move away when the man said something that grabbed Lycus’s attention, “What did you just say?” He growled handing Eros over to me and I knew no amount of pleading would calm him down now. He walked towards the man with his fists balled by his side.
“I said it will be a shame if your wife was to be taken from you.” He repeated and Lycus’s fist being smashed in his face was the next thing that happened. The man fell to the ground wailing, while the other people gasped in shock. He returned to us with angry steps, grabbed Amara with one hand and the other holding on to mine, he casted one last angry look at the man whom was being surrounded now before walking away pulling me along with him. It was a long way to our villa and his anger hadn’t subsided one bit.

I shut the door to the Kids room after making sure that they were sound asleep. It didn’t take them much time to dose off, it had been a very long day for us all and I had put them to bed early. I walked away from their room and went straight to Lycus’s makeshift office, even while on a vacation, he couldn’t abandon his Alpha duties.
I walked into it without knocking knowing very well that he must have smelt me. He was on a phone call with Andros, he lifted his head to gaze at me as I locked the door softly and walked over to the sofa in the office, I sat on it and waited patiently for him to end the call.
“Good evening to you too miss Nyx.” He groaned slapping the phone on the table and I began to laugh hard, “It’s not fucking funny.” He stood up and walked over to where I was.
“Let it go, you punched him already.” I rolled my eyes standing from the sofa. My eyes locked with hit was intensified with anger, his gaze stripping me bare as his scent invaded my senses. I could feel my skin pebble with goosebumps owning to his stare, “There is nothing to be jealous about.”
“You liked him flirting with you?” He asked me flaring his nostrils and I frowned at his question. I knew that he was jealous and protective but asking that felt insulting to me.
“Yes, I did,” I growled shifting positions and stepping away from him to walk away but before I could move, his large handheld onto my hair yanked at the bun causing the pins to scatter to the floor and my hair to fall loosely which he wrapped around his hand and yanked me closer to him with my back pressing against his front, fuck!
Angry mate is sexy mate and sexy angry mate fucks hard! Yes daddy, pull me closer! Hera panted like a lunatic causing me to blush, she wasn’t wrong, I wanted this and I decided to rile him further.
“You do not mean that.” He whispered in my ear with his lips brushing my lobe slightly causing me to shiver.
“I meant it, what are you going to do about it?!” I snapped at him and he pulled at my hair whirling me around to face him, I could feel his cock already hardened straining from his pants, his eyes were blazing with anger and lust.
“Get on your knees!” He barked and I declined folding my hands across my chest with all the facial insolence I could muster.
“I said get on your knees!” He said again breathing harshly, “And that wasn’t a fucking request, do not make me repeat myself! Get on your knees now!”
“Make me!” I smirked challenging him and I saw something flash in his eyes and a dangerous smile crept to his lips which almost made him look psychopathic. His hands were on my shoulders before I could blink and I was pushed down with my knees hitting the ground, my hands were held up before me against his torso and my face pressed against his laps, Is it too late to say sorry and back out now?
“Such an Attitude.” He hummed rubbing his fingers along my jaw before gripping it severely, “I will fuck it out of you.” His words sent sensations straight to my clit and I pressed my thighs together trying to relieve the tension but he kicked my thighs apart daring me to close them again. He let go of my hands, fiddled with his belt, pulled it off, and wrapped it around my neck like a collar, tightening it till I wheezed, the tighter it went, the more my pussy pulsed with my arousal soaking my thong.
“Always a slut for me.” He pulled at the extended length of the belt jerking my face up to stare at him, “I haven’t even started yet but you are already soaking your panties, I can fucking smell you.” He said to me pulling the belt again, “I bet I can slip my hard cock into you right now without any resistance.” I whimpered, he was right. My pussy juices flowed as his dirty words filled my head.
He let go of the belt end and walked away from me. He reached his office table, pulled out his chair, and set it before the table, his fingers worked on his shirt buttons as he took his seat, “Come.” He commanded pulling off his shirt. I stood and I began to take my steps, “Stop!” He boomed halting my movements, his dark eyes watching me, “Get on all fours and crawl to me.”
