“Show me my friends, please,” I pleaded. I needed to see them safely tucked away on campus.
The scenes showed Nat, Yelena, Circe, Jasper and his wolf pack on the frontline fighting for the greedy politicians’ power war, which had nothing to do with protecting Earth. They looked exhausted and afraid and bloody.
My heart went out to them. I feared for their safety. I should have been there fighting with them, protecting them. And my mates should have been there correcting the course of history. The generals weren’t doing their jobs. Instead of fighting each other for territories, they should have fought the demons and pushed them back to Hell.
I thought of Loki. He hadn’t sent out the demons to the other Half-Earth. He was waiting for humans to finish off each other first, then he would sweep in and reap the reward.
We must return to Earth as soon as possible before any of my friends got themselves killed.
“Mom, I need to see my mates, all of them,” I said.
“Of course, little one,” Mom said. “They’re yours, but it’ll be your decision if you truly want to continue to mate them.”
And then Mom was gone and I was alone in the spyglass room.
The battles on Earth faded off the screen.
Through the clear glass, I saw two deluxe bedrooms in front of me. Paxton and Axel each occupied a large canopy bed in a romantic setting, surrounded by naked, beautiful females.
CHAPTER 8
__________________
Five butt-naked females sprawled on the bed with Axel. A blonde hovered over the handsome war demigod, tracing her fingers along his cut chest. He was mostly naked, except for his red boxer underwear.
Had he already fucked them and then fallen asleep in afterglow and exhaustion? My heart bled. I clenched my fists and stalked forward, ready to shatter the glass that separated us and charge into his room to yank him up.
And then what?
“Don’t you want to see it through with your own eyes? Discover what kind of male he is when you aren’t around?” Lilith whispered in my ear with her silky, powerful voice, even though she wasn’t in the spyglass room.
I swallowed.
Part of me couldn’t bear to continue to watch, yet the other part demanded I see it through as Mom had suggested. I hated to admit that I was insecure, but I was, just like any other chick. I bit my lip. No one was completely secure and confident.
“I trust all my mates.” I tried to shout to psyche myself up, but my voice came out small.
I shut my eyes for a second as both pain and hope washed over me, as I prayed that Axel could hold his ground. If Lilith set this up for me to watch, that meant Axel hadn’t done anything regretful yet.
“Then you have nothing to worry about,” Mom said, watching the same scene somewhere.
“That doesn’t give you the right to interfere,” I snapped.
“No weak man is worthy of my little girl.”
Jitters and anger reeling in me, I turned my gaze to Paxton.
The sea demigod was bare from the waist up with a blanket covering his crotch. I’d dreamed of riding that perfect body, but now that body might not belong to me anymore. It was like the universe wanted to tear us apart and never allow us the chance to finish mating.
He had six gorgeous, nude females in his bed. A succubus rested her head on his broad chest, her thumb tracing his sensual lips. It took everything in me not to lunge at her through the glass and crush her skull.
Paxton half-opened his violet eyes and pulled the succubus closer to him, her large breasts bouncing against his side.
Agony tore through my every fiber.
Paxton had done it. He’d gone through with Lilith’s program and fucked other women when Zak, Héctor, and I were searching for him and Axel.
Tears flowed down my face.
