The Lost Prince

Gula frowned for a moment, “Did they say nephilim?”

Colin burst through the door without even thinking. The shattered wood sprayed across the street showering a large floof male with debris. But his irate yelling took a back seat as Colin ran towards a large crowd forming in the main street.

“Back!” A sharp voice screamed. “I will kill every fucking one of you!”

Colin recognised the voice and snarled. Without a second of hesitation, he started shoving people aside. There went up a chorus of angry shouts as he pushed his way through. A large floof turned with a scowl and planted his feet. Colin barely felt it as he shoulder checked the large, furry man. Storming into the centre of the crowd, he could see them both. Ira was standing over Kasey, who cowered, but otherwise seemed unharmed.

“Ah, the man of the fucking hour!” Ira grinned. “Look, I don-”

Ira flew over the heads of everyone in the square, before landing with a hard thump. Colin was breathing heavily as the black flames, framing his red body and outstretched wings made him look truly monstrous. Straightening, he checked his knuckles to see them unblemished from the punch. Then, with a glare at those around, the crowd parted and pushed back giving him an unobstructed view of the small demon woman.

Ira sat up, feeling the welt on her chin. With a growl, she got to her feet and stared at the incubus that hit her. She didn’t care for a single moment as he practically leaked his power through the town. Demon children were immune to most things, and were as pure as any angel claimed to be. So it was only the adults being affected by his angry lust. Ira could even see the annoying nephilim writhing on the ground from the force of it. Clearly, going after her was the right choice. He wasn’t going anywhere without her.

“Alright,” Ira growled. “Lets try this-”

The second blow slammed her into the ground. Followed by a mighty kick to her ribs, sending her airborne again. This time as she hit the ground, she was too dazed to catch herself. But as she came to a stop, she could taste blood in her mouth. BLOOD! It had been years since she’d felt real combat. With a grin, she sat up, only to see Colin’s fist a moment before it slammed her, head first into the ground. Spitting out a mouthful of dirt, Ira screamed and shot upward.

Colin was so sick of this shit. It had been a day. One single day. He’d met Libi, his best friend had told him she wanted children. He’d been turned into a demon. Nearly been killed by an angel. Got sent to hell. Ended up with two more mates and finally. This small, angry demon, who wouldn’t leave them alone, put her hands on Kasey. And that meant she’d also done something to Libi! He didn’t feel good about kicking someone while they were down. But anger got the better of him at the time. As the small woman hit the ground, he calmed slightly. Moving to check to see if she was hurt, it was her gleaming smile that had him punch her. With the height difference, she slammed face first into the ground with a heavy thump.

“Oh shit,” Colin groaned, before bending to make sure she was okay.

But as she leaped upward with a scream, her claws raked up his chest. White hot lines of pain lanced across his skin as the small woman landed. With a feral growl, she leaped, swinging her claws around to open him up a second time. Colin leaped back with a flap of his wings and she snarled at him with frustration. As she landed, she dropped to all fours and charged, going for an uppercut. But Colin leaped over her as she raced past. Spinning to meet Colin, his hand closed around her neck.

“Bad move, you pretty little fuck!” She snarled.

Digging her claws into his arm, she went to work trying to tear his flesh open. She’d made a single cut, when gravity shifted and she slammed into the ground. The impact drove the wind out of her and she lay gasping on the ground. The incubus stood over her as the nephilim came and grabbed his arm.

“Colin, we need to go!” She cried.

Then two floof twins raced up. The first carried a backpack along with a mace and a large axe. The second was carrying Libi, who was still unconscious. The incubus’s attention immediately shifted as they arrived.

“Libi? What’s wrong with her?” He fawned over the succubus.

“Poison, I think,” the floof replied. “You said you had friends, so I went and sniffed her out. She’s still breathing though.”

Colin whirled around, glaring at Ira. She was helpless in his gaze as his power flowed through her like a tsunami. Her body did things she didn’t understand and she felt a desire like nothing she’d ever felt before.

“What did you do to her?!” He snarled.

Ira trembled. For the first time in her life. She felt something real. Sure, she’d been horny before. But this was so much more. And it didn’t make sense. He was an incubus. But… Her eyes widened as she saw similar looks from the floof and the nephilim.

“Yours,” Ira squeaked.

As claws burst from the incubus’s hands, he grabbed her around the throat and yanked her up into the air. He stared into her eyes and she trembled seeing the rage building in the depths of his soul. She knew now, without a doubt, that the prince had returned. And he was only getting more powerful with every minute spent on this plan.

“It. Wears. Off,” Ira choked out as her prince squeezed. “Safe!”

But that last word broke through. She could see the rage boiling in the background, but it simmered down. He dropped her on the ground, letting her gasp in a lungful of air. Without a word, he plucked the unconscious succubus from the arms of the floof, and stormed off in the direction of the forest. Ira was left panting on the ground, with blood dripping from her mouth, as her juices dripped between her legs.

“Pretty little thing, now you’ve been-”

The floof yelped as his hand separated from his body. Ira’s next blow eviscerated him and he collapsed to his knees, desperately trying to hold his guts in. Grabbing him by the head, she snarled as she twisted violently as it popped clean off his shoulders. The rest of the townsfolk took several steps back as Ira dropped the floofs head. His expression was frozen in shock, with his eyes wide in terror.

“Nobody touches me, but my mate,” she hissed.

Chapter Ten – 18976

“Are you seriously going to carry her the whole way there?” Gula asked.

“If I have to,” Colin nodded.

“You know, she woke up an hour ago, right?” Alug chimed in.

Colin just nodded as he felt Libi tense in his arms. Truth be told, he knew a lot more than he did before. As they walked Colin had noticed an odd feeling. Like a mild itch he couldn’t quite scratch. Instead of ignoring it, he pushed some of his energy into it, and the world around him opened. He could feel the general emotions of those around him. He could sense Kasey’s worry and apprehension. Gula and Alug were almost identically horny and frustrated. Libi, as she woke, had felt a deep sense of fear and comfort, laying in his arms. But it was the last one. One filled with rage and regret as it trudged along behind them, out of sight.

“She has a point though, LIbi,” Colin smiled without looking down. “It’s been a few hours and I’m happy to carry you. But it would put us in an awkward position if anyone tries anything stupid.”

“Can I have a kiss first?” She asked quietly.

Colin smiled and lifted her higher. Libi crooned softly as their lips met. Her fear was still in place, but he could feel her trust in him overriding it. So he slowed for a moment and set her legs on the ground.

“So… What’s going on anyway. Who are the floof?”

Colin took her hand and started walking again. “After you told me I should try and sleep with someone for supplies, I ended up with them.”

“So, what are they doing here.”

“We’re his mates,” Gula said softly.

Libi nodded for a second, before shaking her head and coming to a complete stop. “Wait… What?”

Alug and Gula turned around and stared nervously at Libi as they held hands. “We don’t really know,” Gula said.

“He slept with us and… It got really intense… We’ve been with incubi before, but… Not like him. And, it just sorta happened. His power…”

“It filled you up inside,” Libi nodded. “I know. He did the same to me and before I knew it, I was practically begging. I wouldn’t even admit it that he owned me until he made me.”

Colin sighed, “I don’t own anybody.”

Libi smiled and nodded, “Yeah you do. And trust me, we’re fine with it.”

“How?”

“You’re looking at it from a human standpoint,” Libi smiled and started walking. “The way it usually happens, either we find someone weaker than us and bind them with our power. Or someone more powerful finds us, and binds us under their control. The more powerful the demon, the more mates they will have.”

“We didn’t want mates,” Gula frowned.

Alug nodded along, “We don’t want to be in charge. We always hoped a big strong floof would come along and take us.”

“I’m not a floof,” Colin frowned.

“The lost prince,” Kasey said softly.

Everyone froze, before turning to face the previously silent nephilim.

“It can’t be,” Alug said, staring at Colin in shock.

“What other explanation is there?” Libi said with a beaming smile.

“It’s happened before,” Gula said weakly. “It’s rare, but possible if a demon is powerful enough, to take one not of their kind.”

“He’s already got two!” Libi pointed at the twins.

“Three,” Colin sighed.

The four ladies pinned him with their looks. “That… Small demon woman.”

“The claws,” LIbi wondered out loud.

“The muscles,” Alug and Gula said in unison.

“The empathy,” Kasey whispered.

Colin’s eyes snapped up to the nephilim, while she blushed furiously. Taking a deep breath, Colin put that aside for now. “So, what. Every time I take a lover, I’m going to change?”

“Maybe,” Libi said softly. “The legends say, the Prince was a mix of everyone. That he alone could unite us against heaven.”

“I don’t want that,” Colin grumbled. “Don’t get me wrong, I’d kill Michael if I could,” He noticed the twins look confused at the name, but Kasey waved off their questions. “But I’ve got no interest in being this prince. I was born on earth. I have parents, they’re probably worried sick about me.”

“If you go to earth, the angels will try to kill you,” Kasey said softly.

The others nodded in agreement. “Wait, if I’m a demon prince, how did I get to earth anyway?”

“We kidnapped you, as a baby,” Kasey said. “Without you growing up, the demon clans fractured. A regent was put in charge to hold things together, but…”

“He’s not a prince,” Libi growled.

“More worried about his nail polish than leading,” Gula sighed. “We’ve had a few wars over the millennia since he was put in charge.”

“Hasn’t anyone tried to fight him?” Colin asked.

“Might makes right,” Libi pouted slightly.

“So, what makes you think he’s just going to roll over and put me in charge?”

The others glanced worryingly at one another. But they stayed silent.

***

Superbia frowned as the portal closed. Ira had been late before, but never this late. With a growl, she whirled around and stalked silently out of the portal room. The spell that opened the portal would take time to recharge. But she wanted to be ready the moment it did. Letting herself into the throne room through a side door, she frowned, seeing Andradox roughly fucking one of his mates over his throne. Despite the rather basic rutting, he seemed to be enjoying himself. Right up until Andradox trembled in climax. Yanking his cock free of his mate, Andradox dragged the man from his throne and sat down. His mate, still reeling from the sudden withdrawal, stumbled towards the rear of the hall where their quarters were.

“Ah, Superbia,” Andradox purred, shifting in position to make sure his cock was on full display. “What brings you to me?”

“My Lord,” Superbia bowed slightly, keeping her eyes firmly fixed on his face. “I require permission to put together a small force.”

Andradox frowned, both in displeasure that she wasn’t admiring him, and at her words. “For what purpose?”

“One of my agents has failed to return,” she grit her teeth. “I want to send a group to discover what has happened. She was rather valuable.”

Andradox mulled it over for a moment. “Has this agent ever failed before?”

“Not since she started working for me, during the end of the heavenly war.”

Andradox frowned, thinking about his time as a lowly soldier. He fought of course, and killed his way to the top. After the prince was taken, he was the most senior member of the military and fell naturally into the position of regent.

“Very well Superbia, keep me informed.”

Superbia schooled her expression and bowed. “Yes, my lord.”

Turning, she left as quickly as she would allow herself. Truth be told, she wasn’t all that worried. If her hunch about the true nature of their target was correct. Ira was probably still alive. After all, who but the prince could tame that wrathful little monster.

***

“Colin?”

Colin looked over as Kasey sat beside him. He smiled and offered his hand that she took in her own. Staring into the flames they listened to the soft pops of the wood as it burned.

“How are you holding up?” She asked.

Colin smiled. No matter what happened, she would always be his best friend. Forever looking out for him. “I’m… Okay.” He said, giving her hand a squeeze. “This is all so… Different. First I bump into Libi, then you’re a nephilim, angels want to kill me. We’re in hell, things are trying to kill me. And…”

“And?”

“And I’m surrounded by beautiful, powerful women, who are practically throwing themselves at me.”

“Got that right,” Libi said from across the fire.

Alug and Gula stopped kissing for a moment to flash him a pair of lascivious grins. Colin grinned at them all and turned to face Kasey. “What about you, how are you holding up?”

Kasey sighed. “My parents have probably disowned me. The angels would have exiled me. I’m stuck in hell, a place where just about every creature alive wants to torture and kill me. And then I have you, and nothing else matters.”

“Kasey-”

“Please make love to me?” She asked softly, clutching his hand. “Please don’t make me wait. I’ve waited so long already, and Libi got in first, before the twins came in. I don’t have a probl-”

Colin kissed her. Kasey’s breath hitched and she froze at the contact. She’d fallen in love with him as a child and knew he was the one for her. Only now, a decade later, he was finally kissing her, the way she always dreamed.

“We’ll give you two a little space,” Libi smiled.

“Don’t stay up too late,” Colin grinned.

Alug rolled her eyes, “You have the only tent!” Before gritting her teeth as Gula’s tongue pressed between her legs.

Colin scooped Kasey into his arms and carried her towards the tent. It was tall, but not particularly long. Colin wasn’t sure how they were all going to fit, but as he stepped inside, he froze. Kasey’s mouth was as wide as his, as Colin stepped back out of the tent to try and rationalise what he was seeing.

“Something wrong?” Libi smiled, cocking her head to one side.

“How?” Colin asked.

“We have our luxuries, even without human technology,” she shrugged. “Humans put people on the moon. Demons worked out spatial dimension enchantments.”

Colin frowned, “Why was the bar so big then? Why didn’t they just make it a door with an enchantment behind it?”

“Cost, mostly,” Libi shrugged. “You could do as you said. But the power cost for the enchantment would mean you’d need to guarantee numbers of patrons inside at all times for the enchantment to drain.”

Colin frowned, “The tent is draining us?”

Libi nodded, “A little yeah. Making a permanent structure with the enchantment is expensive. A couple of rooms is one thing, a whole building is much more.”

“We used to be able to power the enchantments enough to last almost twenty hours before it collapsed,” Gula said, propping herself up from between Alug’s legs. Alug for that matter was gasping softly as she came down from the orgasm her sister just gave her. “Between the four of us, we should be able to keep the enchantment going permanently if we needed to.”

Shaking his head, Colin decided it wasn’t worth thinking about. Turning, he pushed back into the tent and wondered as he walked inside. The inside of the tent was a large room. The walls and ceiling were made of the same canvas of the tent, but that’s where the similarities stopped. The room was large, with a bed at the far end, far larger than he would have expected. To get there, he needed to walk through a seated area and around a large bath. Considering the taps mounted to the side, there was running water as well.

“This is amazing,” Kasey said.

With a grin, Colin remembered the slender nephilim still perched in his arms. She grinned too, knowing what he was feeling. Carrying her to the bath instead of the bed. With a sigh, he had to put her down, where she stepped aside as Colin worked the taps. As the water flowed, he tested the temperature and added a little more hot.

“Colin?”

With a smile, Colin turned and froze in place. Kasey was standing there, shifting nervously from one foot to the other. She had her beautiful white wings covering her body, and the contrast was one of the most beautiful things he’d ever seen. With a nervous smile, she started pulling her wings back, exposing more of her dark skin. Colin’s mouth went dry as her naked form slowly presented itself. Her dark hair draped down the sides of her face, ending below her shoulders. The slight pout of her lips trembled under his gaze. Looking lower, her slender neck made Colin wonder how she’d squirm if he lightly nipped at it with his teeth.

Lower still, her breasts were perfectly round and proportioned. They stuck out slightly and with her erect nipples they pointed directly at him. Looking further down, the flat expanse of her stomach gave way to a slender, but shapely set of hips. Moving lower, he could see a thin layer of naturally sparse fuzz covering her mons. Colin could see that she was trimmed to her bikini line. Her thighs were firm and slightly muscular, before turning to her calves that bulged slightly. Finally, Colin smiled at her dainty little feet, with paw prints painted on her nails.

“Well?”

Colin looked her in the eyes. “You’re absolutely stunning.”

Kasey blushed, pulling her hands up to cover her face. But Colin wasn’t having any of it. Stepping up, he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a kiss. She squeaked at his sudden contact but accepted his kiss with passion. She was finally getting what she always wanted. Snapping her eyes open, Colin froze, feeling her shift in demeanor. Before he could respond, she was tearing at his pants. His shirt wasn’t able to fit since he’d grown his bulk, but his pants were in the way. Bending, she shoved them down, taking his underwear with them. As she sat up, she froze. Colin’s cock stood proudly before him, twitching with his heartbeat. It was so close she could almost feel the warmth of the blood pumping through it.

Reaching up, she didn’t even think until it was in her grasp. Colin bit his lip, staring down at her. Her soft hand held him gently as she slowly twisted and teased his length. Turning her head up to look at him, she smiled and stood.

“Get in the bath.”

Colin scrambled into the water, turning the taps off a moment later as the water sloshed behind him. Turning, Kasey pressed him into the side of the bath. She grinned and nervously bit her lip as her hands found his cock under the water. Colin moaned as she slowly washed away the sweat and grime that had built up on his skin. Letting go with one hand, Kasey leaned forward, grabbing a bar of soap conveniently left beside the tub. Then she went back to cleaning. She took extra care to make sure Colin was good and clean, which she judged by the sounds he made.

Colin on the other hand, had grabbed another bar of soap and scrubbed himself down as best he could, before reaching for her… And freezing. The first, most obvious place to start, were her breasts. But…

“You can touch me,” Kasey smiled.

Despite her words, she still flinched and giggled as he lightly touched her bare breast for the first time. It was warm, her nipple was hard and they just filled his hand perfectly.

“I wish they were bigger.”

“They’re perfect,” Colin growled.

Kasey blushed and trembled slightly. As Colin began to scrub her down. He worked down her front, not touching between her legs. And turned her around. Repeating the process, Kasey was shaking with desire, desperate for him to take her.

“Kasey?”

“I’ve always been, Colin.”

He smiled, “Say it, please?”

Glancing over her shoulder, she trembled. “Yours.”

She gasped as his soapy hand pressed between her legs. Long slow strokes cleaned and pleasured her at the same time. He was gentle, but thorough, making sure he missed nothing, before washing the soap away with the hot water of the bath.

“Later, we’re going to need to sit and enjoy the water,” Colin smiled, pulling Kasey back against his chest. “For now, I think I need to make you mine. Properly.”

Kasey trembled again, but nodded her head quickly. Getting out of the bath, they dried quickly with some towels stored in a cabinet nearby. Then they held hands and walked to the bed.

“Colin, I.”

“I know,” Colin smiled. “I’d like to try something.”

Kasey nodded, and allowed Colin to turn her around and sit her on the edge of the bed. With a soft kiss, he gently pushed her back to lay down. Kasey was breathing hard now. She so desperately wanted this, but she was still scared. Nobody had ever touched her intimately other than herself. And as his lips gently kissed the top of her mons, she froze. The second kiss was slightly firmer and Kasey felt a small amount of slickness escaping her labia. She was completely unprepared for the assault of his tongue, pushing into her pussy.

Colin licked her slowly as she gasped and clutched at the sheets. Her legs quivered in place, but didn’t snap closed. Nor did she try to stop him. Encouraged, Colin licked her again, harder this time. He licked from the opening of her vagina, right up and over her clit. Hearing the small moan, Colin reached up with both hands and parted her labia. As her dark flesh parted, her pink interior was exposed to him. Colin just leaned in without a second thought and ran his tongue over her most sensitive place. The more he licked, the more her pussy drooled below and the more she trembled and shook.

“Colin, please?” She whined after a few minutes. “Please? I want you so bad!”

With a grin, Colin sat up. Kasey raised her legs, grabbing behind her knees and holding position. She looked bedragged. Her hair was a mess, she had drooled on herself and she stared up at him with big eyes. Placing his hands on her ass, Colin pushed her further onto the bed, before climbing on after. She jumped, feeling the meaty slap of his cock as it smacked her pussy.

“Last chance,” Colin said softly, as he leaned over her. “We do this, I’m never letting you go.”

Kasey snapped her legs around Colin’s waist. Growling, he went for his cock. Grabbing it with both hands, she pressed it to her opening, before glaring into his eyes. “Yours!”

“Mine,” Colin smiled and leaned forward.

He stared into her eyes, even as they rolled in her head. The feeling of that first initial pinch as Colin’s cock slid up into her for the first time, drove her to the edge. She didn’t know what it was supposed to be like, but the feeling of being so full had her desperate for more. All she could do, was use the leverage of her legs around his waist to rapidly raise and lower her hips, fucking herself against him.

“Fuck, you feel so good!” Colin growled.

Kissing her firmly, Coling began stroking his cock in and out of her pussy. He was worried at first, about it being her first time. But the frantic movements of her hips told him she was enjoying the sensation. So, only making a small effort not to harm her, Colin took his pleasure. Kasey squirmed as Colin’s cock hit every part of her that mattered. She could feel a heat building inside with each thrust of Colin’s cock and her toes curled in response.

“Colin!” She gasped. “Colin, something! Something’s happening!”

“I love you Kasey,” he murmured softly into her ear, before leaning down and grating his teeth along the side of her neck. The sharp jolts of pleasure shot through her body as he nibbled. “Cum for me.”

Kasey tried not to scream, as her core clenched and exploded. She felt a gush of liquid spray out between them. But it all came undone as his teeth sank into the flesh of her neck. All at once, she let out a piercing scream. Arching her back, Colin crushed her against his chest, grunting and shuddering. Kasey beamed widely as tears rolled down her cheeks. She could feel the firm pulse of his cock as he fired his seed inside her.

Colin growled as Kasey’s pussy gushed fluid over his balls. The idea of her squirting while she came, made Colin lose himself. Without thinking, he bit down hard on the side of her neck, tasting her flesh in his mouth. Kasey’s scream filled the tent a moment later and her body arched up into his. Her pussy pulsed over Colin’s cock, finally pushing him over the edge and he erupted inside her. Her intense shuddering drove him wild as she rode his cock from beneath.

Her pussy was still contracting as his orgasm finally came to an end. Colin shifted, rolling onto his side. Pulling Kasey onto his chest, she laid there, trembling and sniffing.

“Hey?” Colin asked, concerned that something had gone terribly wrong.

But Kasey beamed at him, as she wiped away her tears. “I’m finally yours.”

“And I’m never letting go.”

If anything, Kasey beamed wider as she pressed herself firmly to Colins side. Her pussy felt a little tender, but she hoped she’d be well enough by tomorrow to go again. She smiled to herself, that she’d found so wonderful a lover, after so long being taught that chastity was its own reward.

Chapter Eleven – 22496

A small squeak woke Colin. Opening his eyes, there was faint light coming in from the entrance, illuminating the room. So he had a clear view of Kasey’s expression as she shuddered against him.

“Mmm, yummy,” Alug said softly.

Colin watched as she lifted her face away from the crease between Kasey’s legs. Colin could see the creamy white of his sperm on her tongue. Spotting him awake, Alug gave him a wink, before leaning over her open mouthed sister and feeding it to her.

“Colin,” Kasey whined.

“Do you want them to stop?” Colin asked, suddenly concerned.

But Kasey shook her head, “No… But I need to cum so bad right now.”

Colin grinned down at the nephilim still trapped in his arms. No doubt, if she could have managed it, she’d be rubbing her clit right now.

“Do you wanna cum?”

She nodded frantically for a moment, before gasping as Alug went back for more. She grit her teeth and writhed slowly, before groaning as Alug pulled away with a wink. “Oh god please?” She begged.

“Ladies,” Colin grinned at the twins. “Alug seems to have had enough of there, so she can get the other side. Gula, get in and help.”

“What?” Kasey gasped.

But the twins got the hint. Pushing Kasey off Colin, they rolled her onto one side. Then Alug dived in and tongued her little asshole. Gula, not to be left out, went on a search for more of Colin’s cum. Kasey, caught between them both, could do nothing but grip the fur on their heads and whine pathetically as they tormented her straight through the orgasm she begged for.

“Oh, that looks so good,” Libi purred.

“Good, maybe they’ll do you next,” Coling grinned.

Roughly shoving her onto her stomach, Colin shifted to kneel over her ass. Taking her hips, careful not to cut her with his new claws, Colin lifted her ass towards himself, before spearing her already dripping pussy with his cock. This was their reward as far as he was concerned. Libi and the twins had stayed out nearly half the night while Kasey and Colin made up for old times sake. It was only when Kasey finally asked for sleep, they came in and joined them on the bed.

“Oh fuck,” Libi moaned.

Colin lightly slapped her ass, before forcing himself deep inside her again. She made a small squeak, before laying her head on the mattress like a conquered prize. Colin grinned, feeling her lust and submission to him. It made him feel powerful, knowing a demon, many centuries his senior, was begging like a cat in heat for his attention.

“Yes,” she moaned, picking up on his lust ramping up. “Yes, I’m yours, all yours.”

“All yours,” Kasey whined as she stared at him with a mix of desperation and lust.

The twins murmured into their respective orifices without stopping, but Colin still got the hint as Kasey’s eyes rolled as she started to tremble.

Stepping out of the tent, Colin stretched and took in a deep breath of morning air, before freezing in place. Lightly snoring beside the embers of last night’s fire, was the small demon woman. Baring his teeth, Colin moved to end her permanently, when her eyes snapped open. Meeting his, he felt the spike of emotions roll through her. First was annoyance from being awoken, then a brief burst of lust at seeing him before her. The final emotion was a mix of regret and deep, deep fear. He could see the slight bruising on her face from the punch. As well as the small cut on her lip. He could also see the dirt and bloodstains soaked into her clothing. The more he looked, and the more he sensed her emotions, the more he realised she wasn’t a threat.

“Who are you?” Colin asked as he grabbed some firewood from the stack.

The small woman sat up and moved to help. “Ira.”

“What are you doing here Ira?”

She trembled as he spoke and tried unsuccessfully to start stacking the wood in the fire. Colin could sense she was desperately trying not to burst into tears, but her face held nothing but steel resolve. “My orders were to capture all three of you, and bring you to the spymaster unharmed.”

“Was that before, or after you threatened to rip Libi’s arm off and fist yourself with it, or that little time when you poisoned her?”

The small woman seemed to deflate, “After the… arms… Before the sleeping drought. I thought if I put them to sleep, I could take you peacefully and nobody would have gotten hurt.”

“And you got hurt most of all,” Kasey said, stepping out of the tent and moving towards the pair.

“I…” Ira stopped and took a deep breath. “I didn’t mean all this,” her voice wavered. “My kind isn’t supposed to mate,” She sniffed. “We fight, we fuck, we kill and we eat. Occasionally we breed, but we NEVER mate,” she slid to the ground.

“I can see why, you were a right bitch back on earth!” Libi growled, stepping out of the tent.

“You were even mean here!” Gula said, following with her twin who nodded in agreement.

With the storm of guilt and regret rolling around in the small woman. Colin looked over his mates. All of them had fierce expressions on their face. But he could feel the pity and forgiveness in each of them. Especially Kasey, who looked like she was about to hug the small woman.

Glancing down at his claws, Colin sighed. “Is there a way to make these go away? They’re kind of annoying.”

“What?” Ira choked. “I… Um… Will them. They should respond.”

Colin looked at how they extended from the tips of his fingers. He felt his power and directed them to the tips of his fingers and felt them respond. With a thought, they simply pulled back. It was an odd sensation, but soon the long, sharp claws were little more than pointed fingernails. With a grin, he shot the claws back out. Happy with how they felt and now familiar with the feeling, Colin retracted them, before looking down at the small demon.

“I’ll accept anything you wish of me.”

“Good,” Colin grinned. “Because you’re mine.”

She stood up then. Looking around the camp at her sister mates. Sniffing, she schooled her expression. Gone was the terrified little woman, and in her place stood a warrior, tall and proud. Despite only being about four feet tall. Colin smiled softly, feeling the rolling emotions within. Despite her scowl, he could feel her elation mixed in with her trepidation at the future.

“Go take a bath,” Colin said softly. “We’ll have breakfast ready when you get out.”

“Yes, my lord,” Ira nodded and turned quickly for the tent.

Colin was left staring at her small frame as she disappeared inside, before turning to his other mates. Libi caught his eye and stepped up to press herself against him.

“She’s a little scary,” Libi pouted.

Colin smiled and gave her a hug. “Yeah, but she’s loyal. And I think she’ll make a good mate.”

Libi nodded, “I will respect your decision.”

“What is she anyway?”

“Fusa. They’re very rare. Most die in combat, those that live only occasionally breed.”

“She’s the first we’ve met,” Gula and her sister said in unison.

“There used to be many more,” Kasey chimed in. “During the war, they were extremely effective at killing angels. Our kind fights with swords and grand magic. If a fusa survived the magical assault, they overwhelmed our warriors almost immediately.”

“I’m guessing you’re talking about the war, when the prince was kidnapped.”

“When YOU were kidnapped,” Ira said, stepping out of the tent without a stitch of clothing. “I thought you said you’d have food?”

“I told you to bathe,” Colin growled. “Besides, we don’t know if I’m the prince. What if the angels killed the baby and you’re just thinking I’m it?”

Kasey shook her head. “Killing you would have ruined things. Your power inside is inherited. But it cannot be destroyed. I’m guessing they held onto you for this whole time, as the demon clans fractured. By having you raised as a human and sealing away your powers, they probably hoped you’d never awaken.”

“Until I tried to feed from you,” Libi said nervously. “That must have awoken part of your power, and with the door open, you did what was natural and took me as your mate.”

“The spymaster thinks so,” Ira said. “She was the one who ordered your capture,” she saw Colin glaring at her and made a small effort to wet her claws with her hair and flicked it at him.

Only now did Colin realise she was as clean as she was naked. Frowning at the thought of her rapidly scrubbing herself clean, rather than enjoying a simple bath. He turned and looked at his mates.

“So, what?” He grumbled. “If I’m this prince, I should just go around to every clan and find a mate?” The looks on all their faces made him pause. Even Kasey was blushing and biting her lip. “You’ve gotta be kidding me, really?”

“My lord,” Ira stepped closer. “If you are the prince, it may be for the best.”

“How?”

“Might makes right,” Libi said with a worried expression. “The regent, if the spymaster knows about you, or even thinks you’re the prince. The regent will find out. If he thinks you’re a threat, he’ll kill you AND us.”

At her words, Colin grit his teeth as anger pulsed through his body. It was one thing to threaten him, but his mates? Even the idea of someone harming them, and HE’D BURN THEM. BURN THEM ALL, WIPE THIS PLANE CLEAN FROM THEIR-

Softness pressed against him from all sides, snapping him back to reality. Colin gasped in a breath of fresh air. Gula and Alug were pressed in behind him, squeezing him firmly. Kasey was holding his face, while Libby stood beside her. Even Ira had her hand on his leg, standing awkwardly in a space left open for her. Every one of them had a worried expression, alongside their flushed faces.

“What just happened?” He asked softly.

“Rage,” Ira said softly. “You get angry when things threaten your mates. But… My kind are known for their rage. The more you hit us, the more you beat us, the angrier and stronger we get until you either kill us, breed us, or die.”

“We’ll be fine,” Kasey smiled and leaned in to kiss him.

“Nobody is stronger than the prince,” Libi agreed.

“Nobody,” Alug and Gula said, while beaming brightly.

Pulling away from Kasey’s kiss, Colin cleared his throat. “Alright, so assuming I’m this prince. Because the regent will anyway. Our next move is to head off and find someone for me to mate with, and you’re all cool with it?”

The ladies exchanged a series of glances, before nodding slowly. Even Ira. Colin just groaned softly. But his cock betrayed him by hardening at the thought. He could sense the lust of his mates around him, even confused lust from Ira. But now wasn’t the time. If Ira had found them so quickly, they probably needed to move and get far away from here.

“We can’t stay here,” Ira said, mirroring his concerns. “The spymaster knows you’re here.”

“Where do you suggest we go?” Colin asked.

“First stop is the town with the exchange,” Libi said. “If I can get access to my wealth, I should be able to get us some transport.”

Colin looked around for a better option. But nothing came up. “Alright, and how long will it take to get there.”

“About six days,” Gula replied.

“And how much supplies do we have?”

“For all of us?” Alug bit her lip. “Three days, maybe four if we ration. Water will run out sooner unless we all bathe together, or it rains.”

Colin nodded, “Alright. I guess that means we’ll need to hunt while we move.”

With that settled, Alug and Gula moved to pull down the tent, while Colin helped prepare breakfast. All the while, Ira sat awkwardly and watched, completely unashamed at her own nudity around them. Not that he would ever admit when he took peeks at her.

Chapter Twelve – 24560

“That’s odd,” Carpathia murmured as she watched the group pass.

“Is that Ira?” Sahara frowned.

“I believe it is.”

Waving a few hand movements, the team began spreading out. Some rushed silently ahead, others closed around behind. Their orders were to capture them if possible. But with Ira in their midst, Carpathia wasn’t taking any chances. Lifting her sword in its sheath, she made sure it moved freely. The last thing she needed was for her blade to bind because dirt of dried blood gummed it up. Moving around to the direct rear, she kept her eyes on the back of the incubus. She’d never seen one quite that big before. Sure, they could be muscular, but he was monstrous. Over six feet tall, his entire body bristled with so much muscle he walked with a slight swagger so his arms didn’t rub as they swung. Even from this distance, she could see the definition of the muscles in his back. All he wore were a pair of earth made pants. She grinned, thinking of how she’d be able to entice him to sleep with her once they had the rest under control. After all. Incubus gotta eat, and what a finer meal than a sexy bakeneko.

Focusing on stealth, she shifted into a higher gear. She paid attention to the footsteps of those in the group and used them to hide any sound she might have made. As they slipped closer to the group, she spotted the other members of their team approaching in a similar manner. More would be ahead to attack from the front at the right moment. Slipping her blade free, she held it ready. One quick cut to the leg and he’d go down nice and easy. The others would take their marks, and together they’d handle Ira. It wasn’t easy, but they’d handled fusa before. Casualties would be expected. Drawing back for her swing, Carpathia watched the incubus burst into black flames. Waves of intense lust washed over her, causing her to stumble, midstep.

***

Colin twitched when he felt them. There were nine of them. All spreading out to circle them. A few were moving further ahead to cut them off.

“Everyone stay calm. We’re about to be attacked.”

Kasey made a noise as she picked up on their presence as well. He waited, feeling them move into position and start to close. He waited to the very last moment, before surging with power. Black flames erupted from his body as he spun around. Before him, with a shocked expression on her face, was a tan coloured catgirl. Her sword was drawn and held at an angle suggesting she’d been planning on using it. With a snarl, Colin’s claws extended from his fingers and he snapped his wings back, launching him towards his prey. Her eyes went wide with shock and she brought up her sword in defence. Colin ripped his claws across, catching the blade and yanking it free of her hands. Swinging around with his opposite hand, his prey dodged back, narrowly avoiding what would have been a mortal blow. But with her off balance, she had no time to avoid the heel of his foot as it slammed into her stomach, sending her tumbling across the ground.

With his first enemy down, Colin turned as an incubus was disemboweled by Ira, who cackled madly. Ignoring that mess, he spotted Kasey backing away from another catperson, this one a male. He kept swinging a short sword at her, and Kasey, while not fighting back, was doing a good job at avoiding trouble. Unfortunately for the catboy, he didn’t see Colin at all until Colin’s claws tore out his throat. With a gore stained hand, Colin gently, but firmly shoved Kasey between Gula and Alug, who were holding off a pair of spider people. They shifted back and forth on long legs and darted in with long, jagged spears.

But it was Libi’s cry that sent his blood to boil. Spinning in place, Libi was backing away, holding her arm as blood dripped from her wound. A lamia of all things was swinging a halberd around his head, laughing menacingly. With a scream of rage, Colin leaped. Unfurling his wings, he flew the short distance before catching the lamia in the middle of his chest. Surging with all his strength, Colin powered up into the sky, mindless of the panicked lamia squealing in terror as the earth vanished beneath him. Colin beat his wings as hard as he could, as the lamia clutched at him in terror. Right up until Colin stopped, and relaxed his grip.

“Nononononono!” The lamia squealed in terror as gravity took hold.

Libi growled as she looked at the shallow cut on her arm. It stung a lot and she wasn’t happy about the scar it would leave. But she was more worried about Colin who vanished into the sky with the lamia. It was a fierce warrior who would have been extremely diffic-

“AAAiiiiieeee!”

CRUNCH!

Libi blinked at the broken lamia now twitching on the ground in front of her. Right before Colin landed with a plume of black smoke.

“Fall back!” A choked out cry rang out.

Colin whirled around as he watched them leave. He made to follow after, but a soft hand closed around his wrist.

“They’re leaving,” Kasey said softly.

Colin froze in place.

“You won. You don’t have to hunt them.”

“Fuck that, kill em all!” Ira grunted.

Colin blinked, before letting his flames die down. “Let them go. Only a few of us can fly, the rest of us are at risk if we try to chase them down.”

“Send me then!” Ira snarled, as her blood soaked claws twitched. “Let me kill them for you. Let me make them scream!”

Colin smiled softly, and patted her head. The action was so completely alien to her, she froze in place. As he removed his hand, she reached up and patted her own head for a moment. Satisfied he’d calmed Ira, Colin turned to Kasey, who smiled nervously at him. But as he pulled her close and kissed her, Kasey moaned in pleasure.

“Thank you,” Colin whispered.

“I might be yours,” Kasey smiled. “But I know who the real you was. You aren’t a killer, even if you now have a temper.”

Colin glanced at the still twitching corpse of the lamia and nodded his head. “I think you have a point.”

***

Superbia stood before the last four members of the strike team. They’d come back, bloody, bruised and severely demoralised. In particular, Carpathia seemed to be in shock.

“So, tell me again. What went wrong?”

Carpathia trembled and shook her head. “I-I don’t know, sp-spymaster. H-he knew we were there. W-we came in. Wanted to make it q-quick. The incubus overwhelmed me,” She shuddered remembering the waves of power from the young demon. “Then he tore out Trent’s throat. Senna was d-disemboweled by Ira.”

“Ira lives?” Superbia asked.

Carpathia nodded. “Horus and Capricorn both engaged the floof, Capricorn bled out from a chest wound before we could get to the portal,” she hung her head. “Ingelgar was dropped from great height… And died on impact.”

Superbia frowned in confusion, “How on earth did that happen?”

“The incubus,” a floof named Callum spoke. “Grabbed im round the middle and carried him straight up into the sky, spymaster.”

“He screamed as he fell,” Carpathia trembled. “The sound he made when he hit the ground was horrible.”

Superbia nodded slowly to herself. The young incubus was indeed powerful. And if her hunch was correct, both the floof and Ira were mated to him. Not that she was surprised. The previous princes had been exceedingly powerful in the past. She would look forward to this new challenge.

“Go,” Superbia waved at the team. “Get yourselves cleaned up.”

“Y-yes spymaster,” Carpathia said, before staggering to her feet and heading for the exit with others in pursuit.

With a sigh, Superbia turned and bowed at Andradox.

“So, your team failed, as well as your agent,” He mused. “Why would Ira have turned so readily, do you think?”

Superbia braced herself and nodded. “My lord, I believe the lost prince has returned to hell.”

She waited in position. Waiting for the blow that would come. She’d seen him lose his temper over less and knew it was coming. She only hoped she lived through it. So his laughter caught her by surprise. It started with a small giggle. Then a chuckle. Then Andradox was clutching his sides, rolling in his seat as tears rolled down his cheeks. It was the most terrifying thing Superbia had ever seen. The sheer deranged glee from the inept regent. Opening her mouth to speak, she didn’t even see him move. One moment he was there, the next Superbia struggled to breathe. She stared at the ceiling as Andradox squeezed her throat. Her legs kicked uselessly in the air.

“You seek to depose me?”

“No!” She choked out.

“Lies. You kept this from me.”

“Didn’t know!”

Andradox watched her kick and squirm for a few more moments before dropping her on the ground. Heaving great lungfuls of air, Superbia clutched at her bruised neck and concentrated on breathing.

“You will track him, and you will kill him. Am I understood?”

Superbia nodded, but squeaked as he kicked her arm out causing her to fall painfully to the side.

“Am I understood!”

“Yes, my lord,” she croaked.

“Good,” Andradox sniffed, before spotting the coloured flake from his nailpolish that came off. Finding the spot on his claws where it had shed, Andradox scowled and moved back to his throne. After locating the nail-polish remover, he set about cleaning and recoating his entire claw. Ignoring Superbia as she crawled to her feet and staggered from the room.

She made her way back to her quarters. Ignoring the guards and their attempts to help her as she staggered. While the regent was the one in charge, almost everyone had an ounce of true loyalty to the spymaster. She’d thwarted multiple attacks, assassinations, uncovered spies and in general made sure the regent was kept happy and blissfully unaware. Stumbling into her room, Superbia headed for her desk and rummaged around for a small bottle. Placing it on the desk beside a stack of parchment, she literally clawed out the cork stopper, before picking up an ornate quill. Dipping it into the dark liquid, she wrote a note in large letters.

ATTENTION

AN INCUBUS IDENTIFYING AS THE LOST PRINCE HAS BEEN SPOTTED IN THIS PLANE. THEY ARE WANTED FOR QUESTIONING OVER THE DEATHS OF AGENTS TO THE CROWN.

REWARDS WILL BE PAID FOR ANY RELIABLE INFORMATION ON THIS INDIVIDUAL OR THEIR CAPTURE.

With a groan, she stood, picking up the parchment. Staggering back out of her room, she handed it to the nearest guard, who quickly read the open note. His eyes went wide, before he looked her in the eye.

“Spymaster, is this true?”

She grimaced and nodded, “Have copies made,” she croaked. “I want them sent to every town and city in our domain.”

The guard nodded slowly. “Yes, spymaster,” he paused. “And please take care.”

Superbia scowled fiercely at the guard until he left. But secretly, she was pleased. She had allies here she could rely on if Andradox got out of hand. Heading back inside, she found the small diary from the last prince and carried it towards her private bath, shedding her clothing as she went.

Chapter thirteen – 26485

True to their word, Colin could see smoke from the fireplaces within Greymoore. Colin wasn’t particularly looking forward to it as he took to the skies. It had been five days since the attack, and although things had been quiet, Colin was ever alert. He’d have preferred to keep going. Bypassing the town entirely, so nobody knew they had come past. The memory of both times Libi had gotten hurt was still fresh in his mind. It complicated things between him and Ira.

“You’re getting better at this,” Libi said, soaring past.

With a flex of his shoulders, Colin shifted in the air until he soared beside his mate. For every beat of his great wings, she took almost three. But neither of them minded. Colin had to admit part of him felt a sense of satisfaction about his wings, and all his mates agreed they were a part of him they admired.

“What’s Greymoore like?”

“Never been, I just know it’s full of arocts.”

Colin frowned, “Arocts?”

“Ummm,” Libi giggled, “Spider people, like the barman.”

Colin shuddered slightly. Other than the barman, the only other two he’d seen were fighting the twins. All in all, he didn’t have a great set of first impressions, not that it was much to go by.

“So, into the exchange, get what we need, then leave, right?”

Libi shot him a small smile, “If that’s what you want.”

“Sorry,” Colin mumbled, “They just freak me out a little with their spider legs.”

“They’re not spiders though,” Libi said, pursing her lips slightly. “They’re demons, and most of them are quite personable. Why do you think he was a barman?”

“I keep thinking about the two who fought with Gula and Alug.”

“Are you going to hold it against the succubi, incubi, lamia and bakeneko too?” She asked.

Colin sighed, “Alright, point taken.”

“Good,” Libi smiled. “I know things have changed rapidly for you over the last week. This can’t be easy. But casting aside an entire clan would be a very big mistake.”

They flew together in silence for several minutes, circling higher and ranging wider. And that’s where Colin spotted it. A fast moving blur racing away from their camp, deeper into the forest.

“Libi, we’ve got a problem.”

Angling himself to follow, Colin pulled into a shallow dive. As the sound of the wind increased, the shape seemed to become erratic. Darting between trees, trying to avoid being seen as it failed to rise above the branches. Colin knew Libi had seen it now as the expression on her face turned fierce. Colin extended his claws as they closed in on their prey. Whatever it was, would face a surprise attack. It was at that point, the shape began to slow and descend to the forest floor.

Colin swooped overhead, as Libi hung back. They burst through the canopy in unison. Colin snarled as he slammed into the ground before the spy, as Libi landed behind.

“Colin!” Kasey squealed, jumping in shock.

It took a moment for his eyes to process Kasey standing before him. She smiled nervously, but as Colin reached out with his powers, he could feel her love for him.

“Kasey?”

She nervously nodded, “W-what are you doing here. I thought you w-went the other way.”

“I knew it!” Libi growled. Kasey yelped as Libi pulled her arm out from behind her. Clutched in Kasey’s hand, was a bundle of dry meat. “I knew we went through it too fast!”

“I’m sorry!” Kasey squeaked.

But it was the low, feline growl that caught Colin’s attention. Snapping his head to the side, he could see a shape, with burning red eyes shifting forward. It had an odd gait though, like…

“Kasey, are you kidding me?”

The nephilim snatched her arm away from Libi, who stared in terror as the ester stepped into the moonlight. Kasey rushed up to it, stroking the large animal’s patchy fur.

“He needed me Colin!” She cried. “He got hurt and couldn’t find food.”

“So you’ve been leaving it out for him? Kasey, one of these tried to kill me!”

“She wanted to feed her babies!” Kasey pouted. “They’re animals, Colin. They don’t know any better. You’re no different than a cow to a predator.”

“And what if he tried to eat you?”

“He won’t,” Kasey smiled and pressed her face into the beast’s neck. “Won’t you Harley, you won’t eat mummy, will you?!” She scratched the ester’s chin, not worried at all about the long jagged teeth extending from it’s maw. But Colin just stared as the large animal started purring and leaning into her no different than a large housecat.

“Harley?”

“Mhm!” Kasey beamed. “He rumbles when I sit on him, so it’s the first thing I thought of!”

Colin sighed and rubbed his face. He thought of all the days he had to share his lunch, because she’d fed a stray and shook his head. “Alright, so what now. He’s walking funny, so are you just feeding him till he’s better?”

Kasey bit her lip for a few moments, “Maybe.”

“Kasey…”

She walked up to Colin, clutching her hands together at her waist and rocked from heel to toe like a child. “Please?”

“Kasey!”

“Please?!”

“Kasey, you’re a grown woman!”

“Pleeeeeease?!”

“What are you gonna feed him?”

“He can hunt for himself!” Kasey beamed. “His leg is healing nicely and once it does, he can bring us meat!”

Colin looked from Kasey’s beaming smile, to the ester’s dangerous glare. Then looked at Libi, who was shaking her head.

“One week.”

“You won’t regret it!” Kasey leaped into his arms, hugging him fiercely. “He’s gonna be such a good boy, I promise. I’ll look after him real good, even pick up his poopies if we’re indoors!”

“Wait, indoors?”

“Mhm!” Kasey beamed. “He’s a cat after all. We can’t leave him outside.”

Colin looked at the big animal and it made a small satisfied rumble in the back of it’s throat.

“Y’know what, fine, whatever,” Colin groaned, as Kasey stepped back, still grinning widely. “I’m gonna go warn the others, this… This is going to take some getting used to.”

As Colin took flight back to camp, Libi eyed the ester nervously. It ignored her completely and she shifted over to Kasey, who was watching Colin fly off.

“I love him so much,” she whispered.

Libi snorted and smiled. “You and me both, sister. But… You do know, Harley here probably thinks more of you than just his mother, right?”

Kasey blushed and nodded, “Yeah, but Colin would have said no if he knew that.”

Libi snorted and laughed, “Oh shit, don’t ever let me underestimate you.”

Kasey grinned and took Libi’s hand. “I… I was wondering if…”

Libi froze as she felt the nephilim’s lust rising. With a smile, she leaned in for a kiss.

Colin landed back at camp. The twins had the tent up and Ira was trying to get the fire started. But she was having trouble with her claws in the way.

“Umm, just so everyone’s aware. Kasey’s tamed an ester, so… Don’t hurt the big cat hanging around.”

Gula and Alug shrugged and went into the tent. They kept all their supplies inside to keep them dry and cool. Ira just grunted.

“They made good guards.”

“Not worried about it eating us?”

Ira snickered, before letting out a sigh and dropping the flint she was holding awkwardly. “Fucking thing,” she growled.

Colin moved up beside her and picked up the flint. Extending just a single claw, he scraped off a shower of sparks. Bending over the stack of tinder, Colin repeated the process a few times until the small strips of wood began to catch.

“Thanks,” Ira said, blowing the pile until it lit properly. “Ester make good guards. If you can convince one not to eat you, they get really attached. They don’t sleep much and their sense of hearing and smell is better than ours. They’re also good hunters, so unless we end up in a city, they find most of their own food.”

“Well that’s a relief,” Colin nodded.

Ira shifted slightly, and lowered her head as she twiddled her claws. “Look, Colin.”

“It’s fine Ira.”

She shook her head, “No, it’s not. It’s really not. I’m angry. I’m always so fucking angry,” she said softly. “The first time I saw you, I treated you horribly. I hurt you, I hurt Libi even more. And I understand if you can’t love me like you love them.” Colin turned to the small angry woman as she sniffed and wiped away an angry tear. “I’ll do my best to keep you all safe. I’ll kill anyone who threatens our family, just please… If you can find it in your heart to forgive me?”

Colin got to his knees and placed a hand on her shoulder. She sniffed and looked up at him. Colin smiled, “You’re just a little softy deep inside huh.”

“Fuck off,” she growled. “I was the top agent for the spymaster, in service of the regent since the death of the last prince. I have killed more demons than you could ever imagine. I have wiped entire armies from existence, one bloody claw at a time. YOU HAVE-”

Colin kissed her. Her eyes went wide with shock at the contact. But all the hostility vanished in an instant. Alug and Gula, who had popped their heads out from the tent, smiled and ducked back inside. Ira pulled away and with a furious expression, snarled. But Colin just kissed her again, making her pause.

“Stop that!” She growled.

“Stop what?” Colin asked, kissing her again.

She moaned at the contact and pulled away. “That! Stop kissing me!”

Colin pressed forward, holding her close as he kissed her again. “Why should I?”

Ira trembled slightly as her defenses fell around her. All the anger, the pain, the fighting and the war. “My lord…” She squeaked.

“Mate, you mean,” Colin said, laying her back on the ground.

“My m-mate,” Ira trembled as Colin loomed over her. “I am a creature of war.”

Colin shrugged and kissed her again. “Okay.”

Ira moaned softly as his lips pulled away. She stared up at him as he undid the bindings she wore. Ira had never felt so naked before, and she relished tearing her enemies to pieces in the nude. Colin, on the other hand, was admiring her physique. She was firm, toned and extremely petite. Her breasts were small, barely a handful. But as he ran his hands over them, she trembled beneath him.

“Colin?”

“Oh?” Colin grinned. “Now you want to use my name?”

Ira closed her eyes, as he slowly dragged her shorts from her hips. She was now completely naked, with her legs splayed out either side of him. Colin stared at her small form. Small though she was, she was all woman. Her claws and talons gave her a dangerous edge, but he could feel her warring emotions inside. He could feel an intense desire to get up and fight, though it had no direction, so it warred internally at the part of her she’d locked away. The part that wanted him to hold her. To touch her. To love her.

“Please don’t do this Colin.”

Pausing, Colin cupped the side of her face, smiling as she leaned into his touch. “Why do you think you aren’t worth my affection?”

A tear rolled down her cheek, “I hurt you. I hurt Libi, I tried to hurt Kasey.”

“Libi tried to hurt me the moment we met. She was going to fuck and drain me, that’s how this all started. Should I be mad at her as well?”

“I don’t deserve this,” she whined.

Colin leaned down and kissed her softly. Subconsciously or otherwise, her arms and legs wrapped around him as best she could. Colin’s cock touched the wetness of her pussy and he pulled away as she panted and grit her teeth.

“Tell me you don’t want it,” Colin said softly.

“I don’t deserve it!” She cried pathetically.

Colin shook his head and pressed his cock into her opening,” That’s not what you need to say. Tell me. You. Don’t. Want. It.”

“I…” Ira paused. “I want it so bad,” she whispered in a small voice.

Chapter Fourteen – 28538

With a growl of his own, Colin pushed forward. His cock slipped through the ring of muscle at Ira’s entrance. She let out a keen cry of pain mixed with pleasure as her tunnel stretched to accommodate him.

“More!” She gasped.

Colin pulled out part way, then reversed and pushed himself fully inside her. She was extremely tight and Colin could tell there wasn’t an ounce of room even to cum inside her. Pulling back out until only the head of his cock remained inside her, Ira nodded softly. Pushing himself back inside, Ira opened her mouth and Colin kissed her. Unlike the rough fucking he enjoyed with Libi, or the firm love making he had with Kasey. Colin quickly came to the conclusion that with such a hard life, Ira just wanted to be loved. Holding close, he tenderly rocked his hips against her small body. She twitched and moaned around his cock, all the while staring into his eyes.

“You’re mine, Ira,” Colin smiled. “Mine.”

She nodded slowly as she bit her lips and groaned the word, “Yours.”

Colin felt her pussy tighten like a vice over his cock. But he just kept slowly fucking her. Ira gasped and moaned. She writhed and shook. She twisted and tried to escape the overwhelming bliss Colin simply forced her to endure. As she struggled, Colin kissed the side of her neck. Whispering over and over how she was his. The whole time he refused to stop their slow lovemaking.

“I-I can’t,” Ira groaned. “I am a tool of battle, a killer, a monster.”

“Shhhh,” Colin pushed her chin with a finger and kissed her. “I’m making love to my tool of battle, killer and monster. She can go back to being those later. Right now, she’s mine.”

Ira let out a low moan as she climaxed again, still unable to fight against the world shattering pleasure coursing through her. “Yours, my prince. I’m yours, forever.”

“Yessss,” Colin hissed, feeling the pressure build up inside him. “You’re mine, and like all my other mates, you will bear my children.”

“Yours,” she squeaked, even as she shook her head from side to side in disbelief.

“I’m going to cum inside you,” Colin grunted.

Ira’s small limbs locked down on him. With Colin pinned in place, he grinned as he came inside his mate. Ira squealed and slammed into one final orgasm. Her pulsing pussy milking out Colin’s pleasure as he pumped her full of his seed. Most of it had nowhere to go and simply sprayed out around his cock, spilling onto the ground. But Ira didn’t care. She didn’t think any of this was real. Either Superbia was punishing her for her failures by poisoning her mind. Or she was dead. But as the limbs around her squeezed tightly, she felt breath on her neck and heard a single word as her consciousness faded.

“Mine.”

Colin woke hours later as Kasey crawled out of bed. Blinking, it was just on daylight and he could make out her ushering Harley into the night.

“You’re a big boy, you don’t need me to take you to pee,” she grumbled tiredly.

Colin just watched the sway of her ass and grinned as she put a little extra oomph into it. A small snore made Colin turn and Ira was curled into a spikey ball at his side. With her face pressed into his side, her spines poked out over the edge of the bed. Everyone else was on the other side, piled over one another. But it was Libi who was curled up against his other side.

“Colin?” A soft voice hissed. He smiled and looked Gula in the eye as she licked her lips. “Do you think she’ll mind?”

Colin recalled how they woke Kasey and glanced down at Ira as she twitched in her sleep. Outwardly, she was openly hostile, abrasive and uncaring in all ways. But inside, she was probably the most delicate one of all. Not that he’d ever embarrass her by making that known. Shaking his head, Gula pouted for a moment, before laying back in her sister’s arms. The soft moans they released made it obvious what they were up to.

Laying back, Colin smiled as a set of lips pressed his cheek. He gave Libi a squeeze, before turning his head and kissing her. As Kasey came back in, Ira was beginning to stir and stretched.

“Oh, fuck, why am I so sore?”

Colin felt a flash of concern and rolled, taking Ira in his arms. Her immediate reaction was to struggle, but Colin just held her.

“I love you,” she whispered softly, gripping him for just a moment.

The moment Colin let go, she rolled out of bed, grabbing her tunic from the day before and stormed outside. Colin watched until she vanished from view only to grin at her squeal of surprise, followed by a low pitched, but obviously feline, matching yelp.

“I’m hungry,” Libi said, as Kasey’s voice drifted in about breakfast. Colin let go of her, but she swung her leg over his hips. Grinning down at him, she leaned over him, lifting her hips and taking Colin’s cock in her hand. “Feed me?”

Colin chuckled as Libi slid herself over his cock in a single plunge. He had to remind himself that as an incubus, he got all he needed out of their relationship. But Libi needed to be cared for as well. As she bounced slowly on Colin’s lap. She beamed brightly.

“Breakfast-oh?” Kasey giggled softly. “Didn’t you get enough last night, Libi?”

“Morning Kasey,” Libi blushed nervously.

Colin stared up at her for a moment. “You slept with Kasey?”

“You didn’t tell him?” Kasey frowned cutely.

Colin glanced at his dark skinned nephilim and admired the curve of her breasts. “You, on the bed!”

Kasey paused, before she was hit with the wave of lust sent in her direction. As her pussy clenched in anticipation, she practically ran towards him. As she literally dived onto the bed beside them, Colin shoved Libi off his cock, earning a soft moan is displeasure. But Colin wouldn’t be denied, and neither would his succubus. Grabbing her, he roughly spun her around. He gripped her elbows and pulled them together behind her back. Steering her around, Colin shoved her face first into Kasey’s pussy. Kasey gasped in delight as Libi went to work immediately. Colin, smiling at the first woman he’d ever loved, shoved his cock inside the second.

“Take her horns,” Colin grunted, roughly fucking Libi from behind. “She needs to be punished.” He grunted as Libi’s pussy squirted, cumming as she came from the almost violent double ended assault on her body. “Teach our slutty little succubus not to make up lies!” Colin grunted as Libi babbled incoherently into Kasey’s pussy. “If she’s just a horny piece of fuck meat, she should just say it!”

The crushing pressure of her pussy as Libi came over his cock, drove Colin over the edge. Still holding Libi into Kasey’s pussy, Colin pumped his seed into her. The rhythmic contractions serving to draw out his pleasure. With a growl, Colin yanked his cock free, grinning as his seed poured from her sticky hole. Kasey was shuddering as she came down from her own orgasm, and finally pushed Libi away, who gasped for air and whimpered softly.

“Girls?” Colin called, as Alug and Gula turned to face him. “Breakfast is ready.”

Lightly tossing Libi towards them. Libi made a squeak of shock as they dived on top of her. Like with Kasey, they attacked her viciously with their tongues, giving Libi no chance to breathe.

“Oh god,” Kasey moaned, watching Libi’s ‘O’ face.

Grabbing her ankle, Colin yanked her towards himself. Without giving her a moment to process, Colin shoved his cock inside his dark skinned lover. He kissed her softly as she moaned in pleasure.

Pulling away, Colin lifted his hips, before driving them forward. “Don’t worry,” Colin grinned, repeating the action. “You’ll be getting the same treatment.”

Kasey’s expression was somewhere between lust and terror. Colin just kissed her as he firmly fucked her into the bed.

Stepping out into the sunlight a few minutes, Ira was glaring at Colin.

“What?”

Ira just shook her head. “Nothing,” she replied as another loud moan of pleasure escaped the tent.

“Ira, if you’re uncomfortable.”

She shook her head,” No it’s… Fuck… I don’t mind what you all get up to. I just… I don’t wanna fuck anyone else, at least not yet, alright?” She pouted angrily, before adopting a softer tone. “I just got you. I want to enjoy having you to myself for a little while.”

Stepping closer, Colin took Ira and literally picked her up. The small woman glared furiously at him. Colin just smiled and kissed her. She kissed back, but as Colin pulled away, Ira was still glaring. Kissing her a second time, she now looked a little uncertain. So Colin repeated the process of kissing her and checking what expression was on her face. Eventually it went full circle until she was glaring hostility at him.

“What, you don’t like kisses?”

The glare dropped immediately, before she grabbed like a drowning man. “I don’t deserve them.”

“Funny, I thought you were mine,” Colin grumbled.

Ira glanced up in shock, “You do. I’m yours! All yours!”

“Good!” Colin nodded. “Then you don’t get any say, as to what I think MY Ira deserves.”

She gaped at him for a moment, before pressing her head into his shoulder. Colin just held her and pretended like he hadn’t seen the tears that formed. She was after all his tool, his killer and his monster. Crying happy tears might blur that standard a little.

Chapter Fifteen – 30172

Greymoore was an interesting place. Set in a swampland, the first thing Colin noticed was the smell. It wasn’t as unpleasant as he expected with all the mud and insects. It was rather ‘earthy’ and he could sense all the pure life around him. Water flowers were everywhere, hiding insects, birds and small lizards. Larger, more dangerous creatures were dotted about. But most moved away rather quickly as Colin and the others stomped through the soggy ground. It wasn’t much of a path and Colin could see even it going under during a downpour. Colin was surprised, however, that Harley was still with them. After the initial shock, he seemed quite happy to tag along after Kasey. Even the wet bog he waded through beside the path didn’t seem to bother him.

But it was as they finally broke through the last of the trees, the town came into view. Greymore got its name from the grey mud that was used in the construction of the town. The mud had been dredged up from the bottom, while the dug channels for large shipping vessels to use. Greymoore was on the edge of the ocean, the forests and the desert. So it made a perfect trading port. Caravans came over land from the nearby areas. Ships came up the canals. Goods were exchanged and sent off to their final destination. And Colin was amazed at the sight.

The arocts had built the entire town on floating barges and stilts. They ranged from a single storey, to several large towers that overlooked the town. Colin expected there to be a wall or have some sort of defensive perimeter, but the more he thought about it, the more he’d hate to be the one to attack this town. The swamp covered it in all sides and other than a few small paths, there was no easy way in. To make matters worse, you couldn’t simply burn the town if you intended to take it. Not to mention, with how damp everything was, even the exposed wood not covered in the grey, hardened mud would be hard to catch alight.

Colin could see ladders, ropes and platforms suspended between buildings at different heights. Even from this far, he could see their spidery forms crossing them without having to reach the ground. It was both intriguing and terrifying. He watched as an aroct, who was clearly the inferior of the one before him, going by their dress standards, meet in the middle of a bridge. Instead of one having to change directions or arguing over who had right of way, the inferior aroct crawled under the bridge without missing a beat and continued on their way, upside down without interruption. Gaping in astonishment, Colin took in the sight of the whole town before him.

It wasn’t just the spider people. He could see others. Large minotaurs carrying heavy crates, were being directed by someone who resembled a dragonfly. The thundering beat of wings made Colin look up, to see an ACTUAL dragonfly. Except it was larger even than Harley. Atop it, was a woman who resembled a slender rat.

“Alright, what are the rat people and the dragonfly people?” Colin said as they trudged along.

“The ratgirl is a Rattus,” Libi said, moving up beside him. “The dragonfly chick up there, is an aroct.”

“Wait, I thought the spider people were arocts?” Colin frowned.

“Aren’t all the insects on earth all the same species?” Libi asked.

Colin stared at her like she had two heads. “No! How could…? That doesn’t even make sense! Spiders don’t look like dragonflies!”

“We don’t look the same either,” Libi pointed out. “I’m pink and you’re red.”

“I’m not just talking colours,” Colin gaped. “They have completely different shapes!” Colin quickly counted the legs on the dragonfly person he could see and nodded. “The spider ones even have more legs!”

Libi just shrugged, “Earth insects are weird then. Arocts are all the same species, they just look different.”

Colin just gaped as a centipede wearing a hat and nothing else crawled out a window, up the side of a building and vanished over the top.

“All the same,” Libi repeated. “Earth insects are weird.”

Shaking his head, Colin sighed in defeat.

“Alright, I think Kasey needs to wait here.”

There was a little murmuring, before the twins spoke in unison, “I’ll wait with her.” They looked at one another, before nodding.

“I’ll wait with her, Alug goes with you,” Gula smiled.

“Right,” Colin collected a kiss from each of them and gave Kasey a reassuring smile.

They hurried along as they entered the town limits. There was nobody watching for newcomers which Colin thought was odd. Finding a set of stairs, they took them to the first level and Colin came face to face with an incubus that frowned at him.

“What?” Colin asked.

The incubus looked over their small group without speaking, before simply turning away. Colin glanced at his companions as Ira made to follow. But he took her shoulder and she turned to look at him.

“Don’t hurt him, just follow. I don’t want anyone making a scene.”

Ira nodded, before moving off, leaving the rest of them alone.

“We need an exchange,” Libi said quickly. “They’ll be on the first level, so let’s go see if we can find it.”

With a goal in mind, they all started moving. It was slow progress. Everywhere they looked, there were demons heading in random directions. The smaller ones tried to stick either in groups, or to the side. Larger demons, like the minotaurs just walked squarely through the middle of the walkways. More than one person was knocked over and Colin even swore he saw someone go over the edge with a splash. He grit his teeth, remembering ‘might is right.’

“Careful ladies, I don’t wanna get into a fight with anyone cos they did something that hurt you.”

He heard the soft giggles that told him they’d heard as they pushed through the crowd. As a group, they seemed to have more ‘might’ than a lot of others. Especially being so tall himself. But Colin did make their advance as smooth as possible, making sure not to shove or push anyone around. What he did notice was the looks. They weren’t like the incubus, but there were more than a few that made the hairs on his neck stand up. There was something going on and he didn’t know what.

“Over there,” Libi said, pointing to a building with a symbol of a bag and an ‘X.’

It still took a few minutes of pushing to get onto the walkway they needed. Here it was even worse. The crush of people around moved slower. But that was mostly because they were shopping. Voices called out their wares, prices and even a few arguments over bartering. Colin found the whole thing unpleasant. Especially when a large aroct shoved him backward into another. They turned in unison to see him standing there and glared at him in unison. Then they simply climbed up the nearby walls, leaving Colin scowling after them from the ground.

“Colin?”

Colin turned and Libi placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Kasey put you up to this, didn’t she?”

Libi smiled, “I sorta picked it up. You’ve got a temper.”

Colin shrugged, “I’m not going to apologise for getting mad when someone hurts you.”

But with a nod, he turned and made his way to the exchange. At least, as they passed into the building, it wasn’t as packed as outside. It was, however, smaller than expected. It looked like an old-school bank, with tellers and queues. Getting in a short line they simply waited. And like a bank, it was boring as shit. The most interesting thing that happened, was the minotaur that stomped in and huffed behind them, right before the teller brought them forward.

“Hi,” Libi smiled at the bakeneko behind the counter. “I’d like to make a withdrawal.”

“Right away miss,” the catgirl gave a bored professional smile. “If you’ll place your hand on that orb?”

Libi placed her hand on a round, clear gem. It pulsed softly, before the teller frowned. “Is there a problem?”

The catgirl glanced at her and down at the gem. “I’m sorry Libidine Lovecatcher, there was a small error that has now been rectified. How much were you wanting to withdraw today?”

“One thousand souls, please.”

“Very well,” The catgirl smiled and opened a drawer. Taking out stacks of shiny silver coins of various sizes, she placed them all in a pouch and handed it over. “Is there anything else I can help you with today?”

“No, that is all,” Libi smiled.

Taking the bag and Colin’s hand, she turned and practically dragged Colin from the room. As they stepped outside, she looked quickly in each direction, before shoving her way in the opposite direction that they had arrived.

“Libi, what’s going on?” Colin growled.

Libi quickly changed directions and pushed into a mostly empty alleyway between buildings. “The teller, she hesitated.”

“And?”

“And she may have just let someone know to rob us.”

Colin growled and turned to go ask the teller himself, but Libi and Alug both grabbed him. “You can’t,” the floof said firmly.

“Why not? I thought, might makes right?”

“It does,” Libi said, pressing herself against him. “But if you make a scene in the exchange, you’re going to have to fight just about the entire town.”

“So what, she just gets away with it?”

“Pretty much,” A rough voice growled as Libi was yanked off him.

Whirling around, Colin saw Libi’s terrified expression as a blade pressed against her neck. A mantis looking man grinned at him from behind her. It was from his wrist the blade extended and dug ever so slightly into Libi’s neck.

Colin growled and made to move, but the mantis clicked his tongue and pulled the blade harder against Libi’s neck. “Now now, we just want the money.”

Colin struggled with himself as he felt more people blocking off their exit. They were surrounded. Part of him wanted to rip, tear and eat the mantis for touching Libi. But part of him was too terrified to move out of fear she’d get hurt, yet again. Thankfully, he didn’t have to make a decision. A terrible scream rang out, before the mantis’s head simply fell off.

“NOBODY FUCKING TOUCHES HER AGAIN!” Ira screamed. “YOU’RE ALL FUCKING DEAD YOU COWARDLY FUCKING COCK SUCKERS!”

The spikey missile that was Ira rocketed past Colin, who whirled around, letting his rage off the leash. Ira had gone for the first in line. A bakeneko, who was already missing an arm. Behind that, was the minotaur from the bank. The big man was unarmed, but wound up to punch. Colin launched himself at the larger target, throwing a punch of his own. As their fists connected, the minotaur made an oddly, high pitched, squeal as the bones in his hands shattered. Colin’s punch moved through the mush of his arm, breaking all the bones up to his shoulder. Then, after grabbing the minotaurs horn, he yanked its head down as he brought his knee up. The crunch of breaking bone wasn’t the creature’s skull, but its horn as it roared in agony, falling backwards out of the alleyway.

With the horn in hand, Colin stomped out into the open, to stand before the crowd of people who watched on with interest.

“Wait, please!” The mino cowered. “It wasn’t me, it was the teller!”

Colin growled, “Which teller?”

“Sharna. She pays us to rob wealthy customers!” He begged, clearly hoping the information would shift Colin’s rage elsewhere.

Colin, on the other hand, looked around at the shock on the faces of everyone who had heard. Several murmured complaints rang out, before a lot of shouting went on. Colin could see a group of people storming the exchange and the minotaur made a sudden scramble to escape. But Colin stomped on the large man’s knee, shattering it as well. And as the minotaur howled in agony, Colin stomped heavily into the man’s chest. It however held firm, as the platform they laid on collapsed. The howl of agony turned into a heavy splash and Colin was left watching the floundering minotaur struggle to stay above water. Turning around, Colin saw a blushing and uncomfortable Ira, being hugged and kissed repeatedly by Libi, while Alug stood beside them both. He smiled, knowing Ira’s worry about Libi hating her was now a distant memory.

Chapter sixteen – 32286

“Greymoore,” Andradox scratched his chin as he poured over the map. “That’s almost a week of hard flying to get here.”

“I’m unaware of his plans to date, my lord,” Superbia remarked. “All we know, is an informant spotted an incubus that stood out. That incubus was involved with a group of several women that matched the descriptions from the insertion team.”

“Yes, I’m still confused about the minotaur.”

“I’m having the corpse examined before cremation,” Superbia frowned in distaste.

Andradox snorted, “I just don’t see how it’s possible. Those horns are like iron, you can’t just rip them off.”

Superbia remained silent, even as she recalled the last prince doing exactly that to a minotaur that challenged him, all those years ago.

“Do you have anyone who can make a capture?”

Superbia pursed her lips. “Unlikely. With Ira helping, any team we send, if successful, will suffer heavy losses.”

Andradox frowned, “What if we draw them out? Find some way to bring them to us?”

“Do you wish to challenge him?”

“Challenge him?” Andradox chuckled. “Prince or not, it will be no challenge squishing him like an aroct.”

***

Colin walked almost unheeded by the crowd around him. As they saw him coming, they all moved aside. Some of them bowed, others scowled, but none remained to challenge him. Colin wasn’t quite sure what it was that made the demons so wary of him. But between Ira’s blood soaked exterior, Colin’s flaming back eyes, and the minotaur horn he lightly tossed and caught with one hand, he had a couple hunches. At least, until a rather nervous looking aroct stood in their way. She was tall. So very tall, towering above all of them.

“Move it bitch!” Ira growled as she got into position.

But the aroct reacted simply by stepping back and quickly dropping down to a more manageable size. “I’m sorry!”

“Ira,” Colin caught her attention. Placing a hand on her small shoulder, Ira stepped back, leaving Colin to look at the now trembling-in-terror aroct. She was well put together. Her actual human parts were in proportion to Libi or Kasey. Her deathly pale skin shone through the gaps of the paper thin gown she wore. The rest of her was shiny and the darkest black Colin had ever seen. But it was her eyes that caught Colin’s attention. Her irises were red as she cringed away from his examination.

“I’m assuming you’re here because you were sent, not because you wanted to, right?”

“Ummm,” she practically squeaked. “Yeah.”

Colin nodded, “Alright, so?”

“I… Ummm,” she took a deep breath, before standing herself back up like she was. “I have been sent by Mistress Furore. She has asked for you to meet with her immediately.”

“Why?”

The aroct twitched like Colin said something offensive, before he heard a softly spoken, “Please?”

“You don’t know,” Colin smiled and nodded. “That’s fine, please lead us.”

“Colin?” Libi hissed.

But he simply kissed her quiet and shot her a grin. “This Mistress Furore, will be someone we wish to speak to.”

“But-”

Colin kissed her again, “Either she will help us, or I’ll kill her.”

The aroct leading them seemed to pause for a moment, before continuing. She led them through the town, but in a more roundabout way. Colin quickly came to the conclusion they were being led around the crowds. As they did so, the aroct led them up several flights of stairs until Colin was able to see over most of the town. At the center of it all was a single building a few stories taller than the rest. At the very top seemed to be almost a helipad type setup. Even now, the giant dragonfly with the rat woman appeared, launching from the top and racing away from the city.

“So, is that another kind of aroct?” Colin asked.

“I hope you’re not referring to the petulara?” Their aroct guide frowned disaprovingly.

Colin just shrugged, “Honestly, I’ve no idea if you’re referring to the rat girl, or the thing she was riding.”

Their guide’s frown turned into one of astonishment, “You’ve never met a rattus before?”

“Ummm…”

The aroct turned, mumbling something about ‘stories being true.’

Colin shared a quick glance at the ladies as they continued along a walkway without a railing. The door at the end leading into the building was already open and the aroct went inside without hesitating. As Colin followed her inside, he froze.

“Colin!” Kasey squealed.

She raced across the room and threw herself into his arms. Colin clutched her in a death grip, as a soft furry body joined them.

“I missed you so much!” Gula cried. “I thought you weren’t coming back!”

Colin grinned, at the exuberant woman’s level of affection. It took a few moments to realise, they were not alone in the room however. The aroct who led them in was, standing behind a fierce looking dragonfly woman. Touching her energy, Colin could feel the fury radiating from her. But it was tempered with a small buzz of conflicted emotion, seeing their embrace.

Checking their surroundings, Colin could see no immediate threats. So after palming Gula off to her equally exuberant sister, Colin pushed Kasey behind him and addressed the woman.

“Mistress Furore?”

She snarled softly as she stepped forward. “Why have you come here?”

Colin frowned at her tone, but stepped forward to meet her. Her chitin was green and she wore a cloak that matched it well. Every part of her exposed body was sharp and angular. It seemed she was a living suit of armour, covered in small barbs and sharp edges. Colin’s main concern if she turned out to be hostile, wasn’t if he could beat her. But if he could manage it without being injured himself.

“The exchange. One of my mates needed access, so we could purchase supplies.”

The woman narrowed her red eyes. Eyes that matched the more spider-like woman that stood behind her. “Supplies for what?”

Colin froze. That was actually a really good point. They didn’t have much of a plan beyond laying low while they figured out what to do next. “We have no solid plans at this stage.”

Mistress Furore laughed, a deep laugh that showed no mirth. “You’re telling me, the lost prince, just walked into Greymoore to buy supplies?” She practically growled and her wings buzzed loudly inside her cloak. “Do you think I’m some kind of fool?”

“That depends on whether your attitude,” Colin growled, flashing the black flames of his eyes. “One of my mates is a nephilim, as you clearly must have known, to have brought her here.”

“So weak, you left her and the floof alone while you came into one of the most well guarded cities.”

Colin didn’t hear mention of Harley. He wondered if Kasey had felt them coming and sent him away. It was the obvious choice if they’d been met with a stronger force.

“Weak enough to love his mates,” Libi growled. “Strong enough to tear the horn from a minotaur.”

“Selfish, fooling little boy,” Mistress Furore growled, pacing around.

“Oh?” Colin growled back, “What part of being dragged here to escape the angels, only to fight for the safety of the ones I love, is selfish or foolish?”

“BECAUSE YOU ARE THE PRINCE!” She roared. “YOU COULD FIGHT FOR US ALL!”

Colin deflated with a sigh, “We don’t even know if I AM the prince.”

It started with a snort, then a snicker and after a few moments Mistress Furore was laughing hysterically, while the aroct behind her stared like she’d grown a second head. But as quickly as it started, it tapered away, leaving the aroct woman glaring like she was before. “A succubus, a pair of floof, a nephilim and a fusa, all bonded to you at once, and you have doubts?”

“I was told there had been matings like this before.”

“Yes,” Mistress Furore nodded, “Singular, unique events. Most of whom were children who grew up together and mated shortly after adulthood. You have mated with one who isn’t even a demon! It shouldn’t be possible, and yet here she is, within hell itself, surrounded by those who would happily feast on her flesh!”

“Oh, yeah,” Gula wagged excitedly. “She’s very tasty!”

“Veerrry tasty!” Alug agreed wagging beside her sister.

Kasey just blushed fiercely while Mistress Furore smirked through her victory.

“What is your point?” Colin asked.

She held out a piece of parchment. Colin stepped closer and took it. He didn’t for a moment overthink the fact it was written in English. But he read the announcement that had been written and signed off by, ‘Spymaster Superbia.’

“I’m surprised you hadn’t seen this. There are posters everywhere,” Mistress Furore remarked.

“I saw the notices,” Libi said. “But I didn’t bother reading them, I knew we weren’t staying long and there were so many people jostling us about.”

“It explains the looks I was getting. That Incubus at the entrance-”

“Slipped away, my mate,” Ira growled. “I lost him when I realised Libi was in trouble.”

“Like it or not,” Mistress Furore got their attention. “This is now your reality. Andradox will oppose you, it is not our way to hand over power willingly.”

“Andradox?”

“The Regent, appointed in your stead,” the quiet aroct chimed in quickly. “Though he failed to keep the clans united, he has ruled through the power he gained during his time as general under the last prince’s rule.”

“As my daughter speaks. The man is incompetent. He raises taxes annually to fund his lavish expenses and sends his armies against any who speak against him.”

Colin blinked at the acknowledgement, but filed it away for later. “So, you’re asking me, to stand against the armies of hell, for what?”

“You misunderstand,” Mistress Furore grunted. “I’m asking you to take your place, as prince of these lands. To unite the clans under a single banner! AND I WILL SEE HIM DEAD FOR WHAT HE DID TO ME!”

Her whole body shook in rage as her daughter tried to comfort her. But Mistress Furore pulled away, storming up to Colin, looking him in the eye as Ira readied to pounce.

“Greymoore sits at the gateway of three clans, the floof, the lamia and the aroct. This single town controls almost half the trade of this world. With you in its seat, those who help will receive, while those who hinder will be cut out. The marshes themselves will prevent any army from amassing on our borders.”

“And you stand to gain a lot of wealth,” Colin pointed out.

Mistress Furore nodded slowly, “And I’d give it all up for another day with him.”

“Mother?”

“I’m fine,” She hissed, before turning to stare Colin in the eye. “Make your decision. I have a spy to either send to the capital or the bottom of the marshes.”

“Spy?”

“Diplomat… Spy… They’re the same thing,” she shrugged.

Colin looked back at his mates. They all stared nervously at him. But it was Kasey he looked for. She took a deep breath as she frowned. But after a few moments she gave a subtle nod. And like the overbearing conscience she was, Colin turned back to Mistress Furore.

“Any chance we can get the diplomat and turn them?”

Chapter Seventeen – 34164

Colin stood at Mistress Furore’s side as the raum was led into the room. He’d been brought up to speed on who and what she is as the guards passed on the summons.. Colin’s mates were seated nearby with the young aroct, who was providing tea and snacks. The raum’s expression betrayed nothing as she locked eyes with Colin. But he could sense the unbridled fear rolling inside her.

“Cupiditas,” Mistress Furore smiled. “We seem to have a small problem.”

Cupiditas seemed to steel herself, before lifting her chin and standing her ground. “My death will spark a war you cannot hope to win. My suggestion is to throw this imposter into your prisons and allow me to send for the royal guard.”

“My mates and I would rather not deal with bloodshed,” Colin frowned.

“Mates,” Cupiditas laughed. “What mates? You’re just an oversized incubus pupae.”

“Mates,” Colin nodded, before gesturing behind him. “Libi, my succubus, Alug and Gula my floof, Kasey, my nephilim and Ira, my fusa.”

“That…” Cupiditas frowned, “No, I cannot accept…”

“Cupiditas, even you can see the changes. Would an incubus ever reach that size without mating a floof? What of the claws? Don’t even get me started on how he reacts if his mates are threatened,” Mistress Furore laughed, tossing the broken minotaur horn on the ground.

Cupiditas stared at it for a moment, before bending and picking it up. She weighed it in her hands, before turning it over.

“So which is it?” Mistress Furore asked. “Loyalty to the regent, or the prince?”

“I…” Cupiditas frowned. “I don’t-”

“I need a skilled diplomat, to send to the various clans,” Colin chimed in. “Someone I can trust, someone… Not unlike yourself.”

He looked the avian woman over. She was small, though not as small as Ira. She was incredibly petite, but her hips still flared nicely. Her arms had adapted to wings and she looked almost like a harpy, with fingers at the main wing joint. The majority of her body was covered in fine black feathers that reminded him of a crow. Around her midsection, she wore a long robe with long slits on the side, no doubt to make it easy to get on and off with wings. She didn’t wear foot coverings though, as her taloned feet wouldn’t allow. Though each of the sharp implements had a different coloured gem stuck to it.

Meeting her soft blue eyes Colin surged with lust. His mates gasped softly and even Mistress Furore seemed to take a moment. But it was the burst of intense envy from behind that wound him back in. Glancing behind, Mistress Furore’s daughter suddenly looked ashamed and turned away. Realising he didn’t even know her name, Colin turned back to Cupiditas, who was breathing rather heavily. He could see the greed in her eyes. It was obvious. A woman in her position wanted things. Power, wealth, satisfaction, and Colin was here offering all three, should he succeed.

Cupiditas cleared her throat, “I ummm… Well…”

Colin could feel it. Her lust was overflowing and he could practically taste it. Glancing over at his mates, Libi was practically drooling. Kasey was blushing and he couldn’t see Alug or Gula’s hands. But from the expressions on both their faces, he probably wanted too. The only one who failed to react in some was, was Ira, who stared right back with a bored expression. But as Colin pushed a little lust into her, the outer shell of her’s crumbled as she glanced at the floor and bit her lip.

“Mistress Furore?” Colin called her attention softly. “I believe it may be best for you and your daughter to leave.”

The angry woman seemed to puff herself up for a moment, before thinking better of it. “Invidia, come.”

Turning on one spot, she left as quickly as she could without actually running. Her daughter, Invidia seemed reluctant and Colin felt her white hot ball of envy as she followed slowly after mother. It would have to be addressed later, but for now, he had a raum to deal with.

Flexing his power, Colin latched onto to lust and started to dial it up. “What exactly do you want?”

Her eyes went wide and her beak opened as she gasped softly. “I… I want this.”

“This?” Colin asked, stepping closer, “What about this exactly?”

Cupiditas cringed as her lust was pushed even higher. Her pussy throbbed almost painfully and she was desperate to touch him. “I… I want it all,” she moaned. “I want the power, the prestige, I want the future in the palm of my hands!”

“Is that all?”

Cupiditas frowned as her lust pushed her to her knees. Looking up at Colin, he stalked towards her. He was a wall of hard muscle and she was so small and insignificant beneath him. “I… I want you.”

Colin smiled, “But, do you deserve it?”

Nodding frantically, Cupiditas opened her mouth to speak her mind, when she felt that dark prod at the back of her mind. Slowing her exuberance, she looked Colin in the eye and saw her own reflection staring back. She really was so very small. She was a side character in front of the prince, of that, she no longer had any doubts. And she also knew without a doubt, he could replace her with a moment’s notice.

“No, my lord,” she closed her eyes. “I am nothing.”

Colin chuckled. He reached down and took her by the throat, holding her firmly in place. “And that’s where you’re wrong, little bird.” He listened to her whine softly as he glared at her. “You… Are MINE.”

The moment those words left his lips, Cupiditas felt herself explode. Waves of orgasmic bliss slammed into her. Her pussy clenched over nothing as fluid gushed over the floor. Her eyes rolled back in her head and she fell limp in his grip. She didn’t notice as his claws shredded her clothing. But she did as he thrust up inside her. Still shaking through her orgasm, she wasn’t rational as his cock invaded her. Part of her wanted to scream, another part wanted to beg. All of her wanted more. As his wings fanned out, covering them both, Cupiditas gave in and came a second time.

“Mine,” Colin grunted.

“YOOOURRS!” Cupiditas cried as Colin pumped his hips, spearing his cock into her.

Colin growled and fucked her even harder into the floor. Her body writhed and twitched as he pistonned himself in and out as fast as he could. With a vicious snarl, Colin pinned her to the floor. Cupiditas couldn’t breathe though the intense crushing force he exerted on her throat. As she felt his cock pulse inside her, she exploded one final time, silently screaming as she massaged his cock with her own orgasm.

Colin released her neck as he came down and listened to her gasp loudly. She panted for a few moments as she laid on the floor in his shadow. But with a gulp, she looked up and sighed softly.

“Yours.”

Colin leaned over her, before kissing the side of her beak. He wasn’t expecting her delighted chirp, so he repeated the action. “Mine.”

Sitting up, Colin pulled his cock out of the naked raum. She moaned as she felt him slip free and clutched at herself. Colin smirked, seeing his seed pouring out from between her fingers.

“Alug, Gula?”

Their mad scramble filled the room. Cupiditas managed a single squeak, before the girls pounced. Colin ignored her ecstatic cries of pleasure as he approached his three remaining mates.

“I didn’t think it would be such a turn on, to see you with another woman,” Kasey said softly with a blush.

“Oh, are you feeling a little left out?”

She bit her lip and nodded, “Maybe a little.”

“What about the rest of you?”

“Always!” The twins shouted before going back to their squirming meal.

Libi smiled, “I’m keeping myself fed, but I will always prefer my mate.”

Ira mumbled something so softly Colin didn’t hear. “What was that?” He asked with a smile.

Ira twitched and rubbed her foot slowly. “It was nothing, I don’t-”

“Don’t lie to me Ira,” Colin frowned.

Ira sighed, “I want that. Maybe not the neck thing, but… Yeah…”

“No,” Colin smiled. “No, you’re far too delicate for what I did to her.”

Ira growled, “Delicate?”

Colin leaned down and quickly kissed her, making Ira jump back in shock, before blushing furiously. “Delicate.”

Ira turned away with a huff. But Colin could feel her emotions whirling around. She really was the sweetest little thing.

Superbia frowned. The information portal closed just moments before. She had expected news from Cupiditas as to the whereabouts of the prince, but it hadn’t come. That meant, there was a chance Mistress Furore had turned. Not that she could blame the aroct. After what the regent did to her husband, it was rather obvious. It was also a shame, as Cupiditas had been very good at what she did. Applying leveral to one’s baser instincts, in this case, greed, always yielded results. Which… Superbia froze in thought. If Cupiditas had received proof the incubus was in fact the prince, and she believed him to be more powerful than the regent… That could explain her silence. With a swish of her tail, Superbia made her way to the throne room. Upon said throne, was Andradox, who was… Once again, painting one of his claws.
