Chapter 25: Gender Reveal

Lea:

The bass rumbled my body as Byron’s hands roamed seductively over my curves, syncing to the dark thump of the music. I didn’t need alcohol to feel the lightheadedness of our bodies swaying and grinding against one another.

“Do you want to rest?” He spoke gruffly against my ear, sending a jolt of electricity through my body as his hands snaked around my stomach, kissing my neck with a feathery kiss.

“No, but I need to pee.” I laughed darkly as I looked over my shoulder, catching the swirling darkness of his eyes as the strobes and blacklights highlighted his animalistic features.

He laced his fingers with mine, weaving gracefully through the crowd of clubbers avoiding the over-zealous couples grinding heavily against one another. The view was breathtaking as his gluts flexed beneath his black slacks, emphasized by the studded belt that hung perfectly along his waist.

“I’ll be right here.” He whispered in my ear as his hand snaked over my ass cheek, giving it a firm squeeze.

Turning swiftly on my heel, entering the crowded bathroom with every kind of woman fixing and primping their messy appearances in the large ceiling-to-floor mirror.

Slipping into a stall as a tall brunette with beautiful brown eyes, exited with a soft smile.

“Lea?” Astoria linked as my bladder exploded with relief.

“Bathroom.” I laughed back in link, finishing my rest stop, adjusting the thin red silk material back into place, smoothing it out over my baby bump.

The sleek ponytail held nicely, exposing my neck with my mating mark of a black wolf howling into a crescent moon with large spruce trees on both sides. Looking up at my reflection as the loud echoing of chatter and music quieted, and a beautiful silver-haired woman approached from behind with a warm smile.

“Relax child, I don’t bite.” She laughed softly as her piercing green eyes captivated me in a trance.

“I’m sorry, do I know you?” I asked with a weird hitch to my voice.

Her smile brightened, causing a warm wave of comfort to flood my body as I relaxed smiling back at her.

“I’m “Leto” Goddess Mother to Artemis and Apollo, and you my child are the “Blessed Vessel”.” She smiled softly as I ran my hands over my belly unconsciously.

“Blessed Vessel”?” I questioned curiously.

She nodded her head softly, leaning gracefully against the wall in a long chiffon dress that floated gently with her movements that I just now noticed.

“Did you ever wonder why your “Shadow” was pure white, along with your wolf?” She smiled with a soft wink as I turned to face her, flapping my mouth open and closed, trying to find the words that were floating around in my head.

“You’re a Demi-god Lea, and these precious “two” are the next generation of demi-gods.” She giggled softly, causing my skin to crawl in a weird, comforting way.

“But “Selene”?” I asked confused only knowing about Selene, the Moon Goddess.

“Selene is the Moon Goddess, and protector of wolves. I am the “Mother”, the first.” She huffed in an annoyed sigh as her eyes fell onto my stomach.

“Selene had her own plan with you, but she didn’t account for the “Pureness of Heart” that allowed me to awaken.” Her smile softened as her hands held mine in a soothing embrace.

What is it with these Goddess’s and their Damn riddles?

It was like she could read my thoughts as her embrace, deepened into a tranquil hum.

“Time will reveal the truth but heed this warning. Great darkness lurks in the shadows, and you will be faced with a decision.” Her smile flattened as her eyes spoke of pain.

“Lea?” Astoria’s voice shouted in front of me, snapping her fingers as my eyes darted around the restroom looking for that woman.

“Girl, you zoned out. I was fixing to get Byron.” She exhaled heavily as her shaky hands held mine in a tight embrace.

“Sorry, I got lost in thought.” I smiled at her as her eyes scanned over my face in questioning.

She held her finger up, running into the stall with a loud exhale of relief.

“Feel better?” I laughed lightly as she walked out nodding her head eagerly.

“One more month.” She laughed softly as she washed her hands, checking her appearance in the same mirror, where I had just met “Leto”.

“Demi-god.” I silently repeated to myself as Astoria grabbed my hand, leading me back out into the thumping, energized atmosphere.

Kolt and Byron were leaning against the bar, nodding their head to the dark beat that the DJ was mixing, clinking their beers together with bright smiles.

“God, he’s so sexy.” Sky purred darkly.

“What the Hell? Where were you during my “Meet and Greet”?” I shouted annoyed that now she decided to appear.

“Sorry. She blocked me out.” Sky huffed, rolling her eyes.

“It’s okay. Just nerve racking.” I laughed as Byron’s eyes met mine with a dark swirling lust as the lights danced darkly against his perfect features.

“Feel better?” He linked me as him and Kolt walked over to us, grabbing our hands leading us back out to the dance floor.

“I do now.” I laughed lightly as he spun me around, pulling me into his chest as his hands snaked down my sides, cupping my hips back into his gyrating rhythm.

“The Hunter” by Adam Jensen started thumping in a remix, spinning around capturing Byron’s bright smile radiating as he nodded to my silent question. Celia, Rija, and Astoria pulled me into a tight huddle as the guys watched us let loose to “Mom’s” fighting anthem.

“ATTENTION!” A familiar baritone voice echoed through the club as the “Trouble Three” appeared on the stage with the DJ, fist bumping with loud laughter.

“What are they doing?” I exhaled curiously as the girls shared the same thought.

“Tonight, is a special night. Our extended family is getting hitched tomorrow, so tonight is about having fun.” Mikkel laughed darkly as Birgir took the microphone from him, nudging his side with a smirk.

“I don’t like this.” Sky grumbled from the shadows.

“I was given the blessing to announce the gender of the twins, along with my brother here.” Birgir smiled brightly as we snapped our gazes to the guys with shit eating grins.

“Byron?” I asked curiously as he shrugged his shoulders.

“Lea, where are you?” Davyn spoke happily as he held his hand to his forehead, scanning the club, pointing to me.

“Everyone, drumroll.” Davyn shouted excitedly as the club erupted into laughter and a crazy drumroll.

The LED screen started flashing a rainbow of colors as it became bright blue and pink.

“BOY AND GIRL!” Davyn jumped into the crowd, surfing over to me with a large smile etched across his face.

“Congratulations!” He smiled brightly as he engulfed me in hug.

“NOW! Ms. Astoria.” Mikkel looked over to her with her hand covering her large smile.

Same thing as the LED screens flashed between the rainbow of colors, stopping on blue and pink.

“BOY AND GIRL!” Birgir laughed as me and Astoria stood in shock, staring at one another.

It was like a light switch as we jumped into each other’s arms, squealing in excitement as the DJ kicked up the beat to “The Warrior” by Warrior as Mikkel and Birgir rode the crowd over to us. Their smiles lit the room up more as we jumped and hugged to the beat as Byron and Kolt scooped me and Astoria into their arms, kissing us with a fiery passion.

“That was the best gender reveal.” I laughed as Byron pulled back with plump lips, licking away the cherry chap stick with a sultry smirk.

“We wanted to do it a week ago, but things got a little crazy.” Kolt laughed lightly as Astoria groped his chest, grinding against his leg.

I smiled brightly as we went back to the dark rumble of the bass, feeling the atmosphere electrify around us as Celia and Seb made out fiercely, not caring about anyone around them.

Noticing the triplets scanning the club with a weird, twisted expression as Byron looked over to them nodding firmly.

“What’s that about?” I linked him as his grip tightened around my waist.

“Nothing.” He replied calmly as his body tensed under my hands, stroking up his forearms as his body melted into mine with a heavy exhale.

“Byron?” I asked firmly as I looked up over my shoulder at him with his brows furrowed over his closed eyes.

“The “Madam” is here.” He spoke coldly next to my ear as he held me closer to his chest, feeling the tingling vibration of the bass through our bodies.

“I know.” I laughed softly as his head snapped back, tilting questioningly as I turned smoothly in his arms, straddling his leg as he dipped me back gently.

Feeling his hot breath fan over my sweaty, hot flesh as he lifted me back up meeting my hazy gaze as his lips captured mine in a heated embrace. Groaning darkly as he pulled back, not breaking contact as he cupped my thigh in his hot palm.

“Onyx saw the whole thing in the lobby.” I whispered against his ear as my hands tugged gently through his black locks, capturing those blues in my hazy gaze.

“Onyx’s here already?” He laughed softly as his hands cupped my hips, grinding darkly in a low sway of his hips.

I nodded, biting my lip as his heavenly bulge rubbed against my core.

“You know, tonight we have to separate.” His voice rumbled darkly as his grip tightened around my hips.

My core igniting into a fiery burst of heat as I looked around, seeing everyone in their own heavenly bliss, grabbing his hand as I pulled him behind me laughing evilly.

Weaving through the sexually charged heaps of flesh, grinding against one another as we slipped out the club towards the elevators.

“Naughty. Naughty.” Sky laughed darkly as Storm howled through our link.
