𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 , about the animal that slumbered beneath -- and the limits it would go for what it wanted -- his mother and elder siblings had all explained it to him. and yet so far it was only his mother who had lived through it. and now him, his wolf had chosen it’s mate, the one it wanted in this life. ( and every one after. )
the hero games had passed in a blur, his excitement like a deadly cocktail that kept adrenaline pulsing through his veins. his entire body twitchy with the need to be close to her. to show her how damn proud he was. ( in reality he should have seen the signs. ) yet what happened afterwards is like looking through a window. It was his body but he wasn’t in complete control. the wolf was.
the week she avoids him, he felt as though he was going out of his damn mind, -- his mom, julius, melitta and his twin sister were unfortunately subjected to a plethora of rants from him -- as he varied from blaming the wolf to blaming himself. Elektra had been his best friend, the one person who didn’t see his family legacy and just saw him. And he’d gone and fucked it up. He’d crossed the barrier that had been firmly in place since day one. ( and he didn’t blame her for running. )
anxiety was a thing and he was drowning in it. So when Elektra finally reached out, he prayed that he could convince himself everything was okay.. that they were okay. He was lying to himself, yet it was the only option he believed he had left. What was he supposed to do. Elektra wasn’t stupid, she’d have known it was his wolf. Known that the ancient being that shared his soul had claimed her. MATE.
yet as he sat there, tv playing in the background, -- his mom’s advice swirling through his mind -- he caught himself watching Elektra more than what was playing on the screen. His mind pulling forth every single thing he enjoyed about her. All of the reasons he had stopped himself falling for her and drifting away and he now could see what his wolf saw. He loved her.
❝ I’m sure. ❞ as he leant over her, his lips so close to closing the distance as anxiety rammed through his system like a freight train, he knew that was the truth. He’d never been more sure of something in his life. ❝ once with you is all i need !! ❞ his mom had told him to picture what it was about her that made him whole. Only then would he know if he was on the same page as his wolf. The only difficult part of that had been picturing just one thing, when it was everything about her.
❝ I love you so much. ❞ he breathes as her words wash over him and soothe the maelstrom burning inside his heart. ❝ I have for a while. ❞ there had never been a better feeling in his heart then letting that truth wash over them both. His land hand coming up to settle under her jaw, curving along the edge with a touch warmed by the emotions in his heart. His face drawing even closer as his lips inch to finally destroy the last barrier. And give into what every part of him wanted. Her.

𝐈𝐓 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐀𝐒 𝐀 𝐉𝐎𝐊𝐄 , her idly making fun -- and not for the first time -- about the fact he was out of touch with the modern world. she understood his role, his limitations, which was why it had been a joke. even the mention of the vacation had been one. so she had been highly surprised when he took her upon it. but she wasn’t about to complain. ( not by a long shot. )
to add to the joke, she’d decided to start them in modern day greece. it was more than a joke though as even she hadn’t been to here for many centuries. she still had a house though that luckily her baby sister kept in good condition. ( which was where they were currently located. ) and thanks to her sister, the house looked like a small palace deep within the greecian hillside.
her feet are silent on the marble floors as she moves through the mansion and towards where elias was waiting. -- fingers deftly swiping away the remainder of her dinner that clung to her lips -- as her mind forms ideas of just what the pair would be doing for the day. as much as she would rather they never left the bedroom, she had promised to show him the modern world and she would. the bedroom could wait ( at least for now. )
❝ Elias. ❞ she comments walking into the large expanse of the living room, dark eyes falling on his tall frame in the centre of the room, the Aegean sea in the background being an almost poetic sight. yet there was something else that had her attention. ❝ what are you doing ?? ❞ she quips idly, fighting laughter, as her eyes dart between him and the large television that was on the wall. the television that seemed to hold his complete attention like a child with candy.

𝐀𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 , the sound of his impending death -- and he wished that was just him being dramatic -- but ever since deeks had text him to tell him Elysia was home. he knew that and ass kicking was coming his way. after all Elysia sucked at being mad at Deeks, but him, oh him she could be angry at. ( even if he slightly deserves it. )
He also knew he was on her shitlist by the fact he got Mitch, not gaston, which was her usual nickname. but out came his normal name, the one she’d maybe called him all of once. ( god help the day she started calling him mitchell. ) He sighs as he looks over to where Charlie was doing his homework, the teenager smirking as even he knew Mitch was about to have his ass handed to him by one pissed off demi-god.
shaking his head he walks towards the entrace and towards one pissed of Elysia. ( oh god help him. )
❝ in my defence. ❞ he starts holding his hands up in a surrender motion as he fights to keep the smirk off his face. smirking right now would literally earn him a punch to the face. ❝ he was partnered with layla. supposed to be. but you know that stubborn bastard, he said he could handle it. ❞ yeah shifting blame, that was really a good thing to do mitch. yet in this case, it was the truth.
〔 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 : @hellfireisms 〕 › “Mitch.” Elysia’s sharp, cut-throat and icy tone sent an extremely clear message: she was here to raise HELL.

Astra set a tray down full of assorted baked goods she’d made earlier in the day, complete with a cup of warm hot chocolate layered with whipped cream and caramel drizzle. “Please help yourself. They’re freshly baked,” she said to Melitta, lips curving into a kind smile. “It’s so nice of you to drop by again. I rarely get visitors who aren’t customers.”
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐔𝐋 , literally sin in a smell – and that was saying something – but Melitta was a sucker for a good homecooked meal. she was born in a time where the food had been drastically different. thus as the years passed she learnt to appreciate the dietary needs of the modern world. she was a glutton for chocolate, it was her favourite indulgence. ( amongst other things. )
❝ Oh damn. ❞ the tribrid comments as eyes look over the selection of sweets in front of her. her stomach clamouring in need for the delicious food. ❝ keep cooking these and i’ll never leave. I’m a sucker for chocolate, ❞ she grins. signature red lips parting into a wide grin as she reaches for the nearest baked delicacy. at this point she was almost positive she was drooling.

𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐆𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐋 , first it was an argument with her boss over some painting. then her baby sister dropped the knowledge that Deacon Sr had been spotted. and then of course her brothers ex. it was as though all the fucking ghosts were making an appearance.
“ okay listen, the reason i’m the one who deals with the shipments is because i’m the nicer James. ” she hisses down the phone as she tries to not throw it across the hallway. “ but i can tell you right fucking now, if that shipment is not there by five o’clock this afternoon. then you can deal with my brother and cousin. and trust me, they won’t be as nice as me. ”
shutting the phone she sighs as she runs a stressed hand through her hair. working to calm herself as she stands there with her eyes closed. sometimes she hated being the one that controlled the shipments but she knew if not, then mitch and deeks would indeed lose their tempers. reopening her eyes as she feels someone look at her she smiles noting it was dario. she had no idea her voice had carried, thus granting him the ability to have heard the full conversation, instead she walks over to him. completely oblivious.
her head tilts as she comes to a stop in front of him. “ now i know this place is great, i made it that way , ” she smirks. her james family cockiness bleeding through. “ but it’s not great enough for someone to visit twice in one week. so what you after handsome. ” one day she might call him his name, other than complimenting him.

〔 melsworldofmuses // matthias 〕
Open Starters: Matthias
“There’s no point in me believing in Heaven, I’m not going there anyway.”
Maybe there had been a chance before for his soul to be redeemed, but he missed it - or squandered it. Either way, Matthias knew where he’d ultimately end up - it was just a matter of trying to hold out for as long as he was dragged down there, trapping him in fire and damnation for eternity.
𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐋𝐅 𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐍 𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐒 𝐀𝐍 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐖 , as she pours him a new drink -- the bar bustling around them -- as his words register deep within her soul. what he was screamed at her but she had a job to do and she was doing it. aka poiuring his drinks and listening to whatever words he spoke. ( even the hard hitting ones. )
❝ don’t worry. ❞ she drawls softly as she sets the bottle down again and looks at him. internally praying he hadn’t recognised that she was a half demon. ❝ i ain’t going to heaven either, ❞ she knew that because well she’d already been to hell twice. ❝ i’m hell bound and the flames are waiting. ❞

Plotted starter for @memoirslost
Astra was rather AWESTRUCK. The person walking through her shop doors was not only the most beautiful woman she’d ever seen but this person also radiated such enormous power that Astra was simply…awestruck.
Of course her Sight picked up on the species; vampire. Though… not ONLY vampire. There was more. She sensed the presence of a werewolf as well, a deep ancient one lurking beneath her skin. Never before had she seen the two mixed together. Not to mention, the POWER that radiated from the woman was message enough to Astra that there was little she could do in defence if the woman decided to go feral on her.
And yet, Astra sensed nothing feral in her energy right now. Quite contrary to the power that pulsed from her, the woman’s aura was calm, serene, WARM even. It left her staring like a fool.
Astra tugged self-consciously on her gloves beneath the mahogany counter as she greeted the customer, “W-Welcome.” A usually very professional Astra was still recovering from the surprise and she mentally chastised herself for stuttering. Clearing her throat, Astra tried again. “Welcome. I see you’ve been led here because my shop may have something you’re looking for. How can I help you today?” Warm, brown eyes locked with hers, lips curving into a small, friendly smile.
the shop drew her in and called to the inbuilt curiosity that raged inside of her -- ( the curiosity that normally got her in trouble ) -- and thus her feet carried her over the threshold and dark eyes drink in every nook and cranny. the belongings calling out to her. she could sense the old age of some of the belongings. ( though she was positive, she was the oldest thing in there. )
the one thing melitta was never aware of, was the vibe, the sense she gave off to others. she had a history and she had a reputation that kept most at bay, but she’d never truly enquired about what people sensed when they looked at her. ( after all -- she had no reason to ask. ) though if she went by the woman behind the counter, the awestruck look that adorned her beautiful face. mel had to say she gave off a vibe that was something close to unknown. or maybe she was just looking for an excuse to observe the owner. ( after all -- completely possible. )
❝ hello. ❞ she grins -- red lips pulling back and displaying a warm smile as her fingers continue to float through the air. tasting. as she soaked in every inch of what was around her. ❝ i think my curiosity led me here, ❞ she chuckles softly. her still slightly accented voice drifting along the air. only those who knew her, knew that it signalled her roman birth. ❝ but i am looking for a book, a grimoire of sorts, if you believe the legend. ❞

𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐑𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐇𝐈𝐌𝐒𝐄𝐋𝐅 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐃 , after all he was a trained soldier and with that came a control that was almost supernatural. his mind able to contemplate a thousand things at once and still be focused on the task at hand. yet lately, his mind kept wandering to the blonde he had met in the elevator. of course it was memorable due to the fact, he had been completely buck ass nude.
sighing he heads down the street to the local cafe he had found one day when he had simply been wandering. around him, he watches as the people move around setting up their day to day lives. moving too and from one place to another as they go about their lives. no idea that a trained killer was moving amongst them. it amused him a little.
heading inside the quaint place that had become his solace, a smile inches up his lips at who he sees seated at the table he normally perched himself at. “ makes a change from an elevator wouldn’t you say , ” he smirks as his long gait brings him to her side. blue eyes shining with hidden mirth as he easily recalls that first meeting. “ gotta admit, some things are much more comfortable. ” mostly the fact he was dressed and not using a briefcase to cover the goods.

𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘𝐒 , where honestly she was borderline about to become an alcoholic if given the option. or she was going to go grey. that was also a very viable option. first it had started with an argument with her stepmother, and then her estranged uncle had walked into the ER and antagonised her by reminding her of her older brother and father’s death. deaths he had committed. it was leading to her wanting to do nothing more than punch him in the face.
Which now meant she wanted to get drunk and completely forget about the entire day. she knew her cousins club was an option, but she didn’t want to go there. she knew she’d be surrounded by family and right now, she didn’t want to see her family. she didn’t want to be around them in the foul mood she was currently sporting. so instead, she heads to the one place she knew would put a smile on her face.
The smell of the bar is soothing the moment it enters her senses, her soft chocolate eyes landing on the bartender she really wanted to see. her footsteps taking her over to where he is as her lithe frame slips into the stool opposite him. a smile already fighting it’s way onto her lips. no matter the mood, she couldn’t deny the change in his presence. hell she could ignore the fact her cousin and his twin were dating.
“ so out of curiosity , ” she drawls, a light teasing tone overtaking her words. “ if i gave you a kiss, does that mean i get a free drink. ” there was a part of her that was only teasing. after all she’d kiss him anyway. but the larger part of her would. both for the kiss and the drink. she didn’t know what it was about kole mason, but she was drawn in.

〔 hellfireisms 〕
Elias has been in the Underworld for ages; Hades having abandoned the place long ago. And in that time, Elias had never let anyone walk in and out of the Underworld as they pleased – until now. Melitta was the only being who was alive and allowed to walk in and out of the Underworld unscathed. He left it up to her to come back – just as she left it to him to visit her in the land of the living.
He RARELY got work done when she visited, preferring to spend his time playing instead. Playing with her. Melitta’s words caused a wicked smile to curve his lips against hers, eyes like hellfire opening just slightly to meet hers. When she spoke like that, wicked thoughts of punishment rolled through his mind; something she probably WANTED.
But instead, he continued his teasing. “Oh? And what are you going to do about that?” he breathed out before his fingers tangled with the strands of her hair and tugged to reveal the arch of her neck. His mouth worked its way down, kissing, nipping, his tongue running over a particularly sensitive spot before sucking on the skin. Hard. A flick of his finger and the lace bra was torn at the clasp in the front, revealing creamy mounds that would be his next destination.
Fingers went back between her legs, tracing up and down the lace material before tugging the material aside and slowly slipping a finger in. He knew he was teasing, he simply wanted to see how much she’d take it before she became impatient. Oh, how he liked her when she was impatient.
𝐈𝐓 𝐀𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐑 , that she had an open invitation to the underworld. that she could come and go as she pleased. to see him. the power inside of him called to her darkness like a beacon and whilst the more human part of her, .the part that wasn’t shrouded in darkness and was the normal her, screamed to be released of the shadows. her darkness was a willing choice, a nd the switch that would undo it was fragile and could snap either way.
though the darkness had led her to him and that kept it completely in control. the way he played her, the wicked things he did to her body. she was his. “ i’ve got ideas. ” the bratty tone never leaves her tone. instead swallowing each syllable whole and drifting forward. after all she was craving the punishment that would befall her the more she misbehaved. craved him.
her neck arched the moment his fingers disappeared into her raven hair, her hips bucking against his ministrations as she feels him leaving a mark on her neck. the lust pulsing through her causing her fangs to elongate from her gums and a craving to sink them deep in his flesh taking hold inside her mind. his fingers ghosted a fiery path, her skin puckering everywhere his flesh touched.
“ damn you , ” her growl is heated as his fingers tease. only amplifying the current need running through her but bringing her no closer to the true precipice she wanted to fall off. “ fuck. ” her growl is animalistic as she uses her speed to shift their position. her legs falling either side of his hips as she looks upon him, fangs ghosting over her lip, as eyes burn a vivid violet. showing the animal, the darkness, was out to play. her hips rolling, an indication of what she wanted, but she wasn’t about to beg. not yet anyway.

𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 , his plan to one day open up his own garage and create custom bikes and restore old cars was getting close to coming true. it seemed like a meagre job given the business his family was involved in, but it was something he wanted to do. after all he was trying to distance himself from that world. just like lizza. the two of them wanting to avoid the blood.
Biting down on his lip, he works over the plans he had been formulating that morning as he pushes open the front door to Oakley’s apartment. the smell of cooking filtering in and he already knows just where to find his girlfriend. his steps steady in that direction as he finds her just where he thought he would. ingredients scattered all over the counters and her movements swift and precise.
he chuckles to himself softly as he makes his way over, his steps silent on the floor as he dodges different things and pulls her into his arms. “ smells lovely baby , ” he croons, fingers deftly shifting tendrils of hair out the way of her neck before planting a kiss against the creamy expanse of skin. “ want some help ??. ” after all he enjoyed nothing more than watching his girl do what she loved.

murderousbitch !!
FAITH HAD DONE A LOT OF WRONG SHIT IN HER LIFE. She was the last person on earth who had any right to judge anyone. But there was no judgement held or shown towards her wife who clung to her, only making her arms tighten more firmly around her to ensure that she knew she wasn’t going anywhere. In her eyes, Payne had done nothing wrong, she did what any one would have done; protected herself. However she knew that wasn’t how the other saw it and hell, she had the same thing time and time again herself. So as she sat there, arms remaining around her partner, she listened with an open heart and mind.
Now that was something that she had wondered about ever since meeting the demon; if she had a real name or not. A small smile graced her lips at the sound of her name, fingers gently stroking the back of her head. “Cassandra…I like it,” she whispered mostly to herself as to not interrupt or deter Payne from continuing to open up. Though she had yet never been to hell, she could imagine that it wasn’t easy on anyone and that certainly was no picnic in the park. One day she hoped she could meet the person who saved Payne and pulled her out of hell because she owed them a great deal of gratitude for giving her the chance to meet the other, to experience this life they were building together.
She gets the humor behind the new chosen name, her head shaking ever so slightly in mild amusement. However it’s short lived as its revealed that Payne had died yet again at the hands of her brother once more. And there was no need for an explanation as to what “use me” referred to, Faith knowing all too well what that meant from personal experience. She had wanted to know what had been plaguing her spouse and now she knew, but it didn’t change anything, especially in how she viewed the other, in the love that she held for her. If anything it made her feel closer to the demon, having a better understanding of why she was the way she was, how she came to be.
For a moment she’s quiet as she calculates her words carefully, sorting through the information she now knew. Yet her arms still remained wrapped around her, hand stroking soft locks as she stares at the cupboards above the stove. “I don’t think the nightmares will ever leave you, baby,” she whispered, knowing it didn’t sound helpful at all, “they never really do. No matter how much time has passed, no matter how much you’ve changed or anything of that sort. They’re just a godawful fuckin’ reminder of your past. And that’s all that they are…your past.” Gently the slayer pulled back and moved to cup her cheek as she stared into her eyes. “Your past doesn’t define you. It took me a lot of years to figure that out for myself and I’m still tryin’ to grasp that…to keep from lettin’ it control me. But you control your present and future. You just won’t be alone ‘cause I’ll be right beside you to help however I can.”
𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓 𝐃𝐄𝐅𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐑 , anchored around her ankle like a shackle -- holding her in place -- yet at the same time making her who she was. someone who now fought for what she wanted, who didn’t trust so easily. so that she didn’t end carrying another corpse in her soul like a graveyard of memories. why selfishly she had dug in with faith and didn’t want to let go. ( even if she knew she should have long ago. )
❝ glad someone does -- ❞ she commented lightly, clinging to the ease that came with her real name being in the open. ( a name tarnished with bittersweet memories. ) yet the small slither of lightness is soon washed away as the heaviness of the situation settles on her shoulders. the headiness of the conversation sucking the breathe from her lungs and leaving her a gasping crying mess. the tears burning as they trail down her porcelain cheeks and speak of the sorrow she’d buried for so long.
yet there was also a release happening inside of her. -- the release of telling her sordid tale -- she hadn’t ever spoken about it. not even with drakos. whilst he had been the one to save her, to put the pieces of her tarnished soul back together. he had never known the true her, the remnants of cassandra that festered under the façade that was payne bones. ( and yet she told faith willingly --- even if she was using booze as an excuse. )
❝ i know you will. ❞ because she did. she knew that faith was resolute in her desire to remain at her side. the ever loving presence that was snuffing out the darkness that threatened to engulf her. ❝ one day i’ll let it go, ❞ she had said those words so many times. she wasn’t sure if she ever could, if she could truly let go of her past and release the nightmares to the wind.
because to do that, she’d have to do the one thing she was scared of. facing her brother once more. but this time, she had to be the one to kill him. only then, only then would she know the true meaning of being free. of knowing her life, and her future with faith was her own. ❝ i love you. ❞
