“Uncle Typhon and Aunt Echidna had many children. And Sosipolis could turn into a serpent.”
“That would make sense.” Gaia is of the Earth, but Tartarus is of the Abyss. They had Typhon, akathe Father of all Monsters.If Grandma Eileithyia hooked up with one of his children, that would be abigcircle back around the family tree.”
“Didn’t Uncle Typhon overthrow Grandfather Zeus?”
Selene shrugs. “Initially, no. But now the world is filled with monsters, and we don’t hear from Olympus even as this version of Earth seems to be sinking into evil. So, take that as you will.”
“I know I carry demon blood— probably more than I’ve been told. I mean, I’m practically a succubus.”
My eyes well with tears. Ihatedthat I was so far removed from my more immediate family. All I knew was that I was found by Uncle Thanatos, who gave me to his mom, Aunt Nyx, who dropped me off to be raised by Aunt Theia, even though that woman hadn’t raised kids in two thousand years.
But then the mother of demons showed up and told Aunt Theia I belonged to her and her kin, that I was purposely conceived with a special human, that science was involved, and that I had been stolen from the lab and left for dead when Uncle Thanatos found me.
Then there was a custody battle. AndErikepaios, a creation god named Phanes, was our judge. He ruled that I had to spend a third of the year in Sheol and visit with my father, a half-angelic demon monster, in Gehenna. That was such a dark, depressing time in my life. Once I was old enough to make my own decisions, I stopped going despite the ceaseless demands that I return to Sheol.
What if this is magic from my demon family? Fallen angels were primordial creatures too.Fuck!Was I the antichrist or something?
“Don’t cry, Galatea. Just be patient. Until you know, enjoy the extra power. It’s a gift, I think, as is your new lover.”
I laugh and wipe my tears. “Sleeping with him is how I ended up getting this power increase.”
“Aww. You’ve met your mate.”
“We don’t know that.”
“Does it feel like that?”
I shrug. “A little.”
“He’s there to boost you. Whatever you face in the future, he will be by your side.”
With that, Selene waves and shimmers away.
She’s right. It’s a gift. It doesn’t feel evil, just potent. Maybe one day the Moira will really tell me where I came from. I wanted something more for family than demonic ties and a mother I never knew because she was ritually sacrificed after my birth and consumed by some demonic monster.
CHAPTER TWELVE
GALATEA
At that moment, the Professor steps out of my bathroom, freshly showered. His gaze finds mine, and I watch as his cock rises yet again, and it brings a delighted smile to my face.
This arrangement shall work out nicely. He’s just as insatiable as I am.
I suppress a giggle as he tries to adjust the small towel to fit around his waist and muscular thighsandstraining erection
“Have a seat,” I invite, gesturing to the table.
He takes a seat, and I realize I should have conjured larger chairs. I usually do not have to accommodate for someone of his size. But watching him squeeze into it reminded me of those sappy toy commercials where a father is sitting down to his toddler’s tea party. Asterios is so much larger than… well, everything.
Asterios sniffs the air as we sit across from each other. “This smells amazing, but what is it?” He reaches down and selects a strip of steaming roast beef, eyeing it curiously.
“Oh shit!” I quickly snatch it from his hand and pop it into my mouth.
“What was that?”
“Mmoffing,” I say around a mouthful of delicious meat that practically melts in my mouth. I magically blink the rest of roast beef out of existence.
“It was something. What the hell is it?” He glares at the table. “Where did the rest of it go?”
