Chosen By The Gods

I want another mate!

DAEMON’S POINT OF VIEW

I wanted to talk to him. Actually, Apollo urged me to talk to him, but he was again with his girlfriend, fact that made my blood boil. I had to leave, otherwise I might've done something stupid.

* I told you it’s not a good idea! * I say to Apollo angrily, which I would strangle if I could right now.

* Don’t jump to conclusions before you know all the facts! * He tries to keep his voice steady and calm, but I heard the growl that he made when he saw the girl wrapping her arm around him.

* You’re not fooling anyone,Apollo. You’re as pissed as I am. It’s all your fault! I’m done with him. I don’t even want him, I don’t want to want him, Apollo! Fix this s**t! Find me another mate! * I yell at him, well, as hard as I can in my mind ,and he sighs hard.

* Do you think that I'm sss? You return the product because you don't like the color, and I'll send you another one? I can’t do that! * He replies in an incredulously exasperated tone of voice, exasperating me !

* You’re a damn God,Apollo! Find a way! * I swear that I can see him roll his eyes at me.

* You know what? I don’t need you! I’ll get rid of these stupid feelings by myself! * And...he laughs mockingly. Why did I expect more from him?

* And how exactly will you do that? * I decide not to answer him,and instead,I text Laura.

( Me : Hey beautiful,were are you? )

* Dear Me! Please tell me that you’re not gonna do what I think that you want to do! * I choose to ignore him again, and read the text from Laura.

( Laura: I’m almost in my class. )

( Me : Don’t go. Meet me in the parking lot! ) I start walking towards the parking lot, and I hear Apollo growl in annoyance. It’s his fault that I’m in this position to begin with.

After a few minutes, Laura shows up and enters the car.

“ What’s wrong baby? ” Her voice, which at some point in life was seductive, now it's actually damaging my eardrums, but right now, I need a distraction.

“ Are your parents home? ” I ask in return, because I'm pretty sure that her empty pretty head wouldn't be able to process this kind of information.

She smiles devilishly, and shakes her head.

* Come on, Daemon. This is useless and you know it. Get your stubborn ass out of the car and go to classes! * Again, I choose to ignore him, and start driving towards Laura’s house.

I turn the radio on, and the volume higher, in order to avoid further conversations. Man can only take so much in such short period of time.

She starts rubbing my tigh up and down, and I try to get my “mate” out of my mind. And that girl…she…damn!

* And you think you’ll be able to have s****l intercourse with her? *

* SHUT UP! I WILL f**k HER! AND I WILL FORGET ALL ABOUT HIM! I’M NOT f*****g GAY! AND HE…JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! * I bite my inner cheek hard, in order to avoid shifting in the car and damage it.

* Yes. Very mature of you. * Apollo says sarcastically as I park the car in the driveway.

We get out and go straight inside, Laura saying something, but right now I can’t hear s**t. Right now I'm focusing on getting hard and forget all about my mate.

We go to her room, and before we even hit the bed, we're both undressed, ready to f**k.

I lay on top of her, and close my eyes in order to be able to kiss her.The moment her lips touched mine, my stomach turned upside-down, and my lips feel like they're being burned.

* You’re wasting your time. Your p***s won’t function. *Apollo says in a bored voice.

* Why are you still here? * I ask Apollo while I break the disgusting kiss.

* Because you won’t do anything,so it’s no need for me to go. *

* I will! *

* Of cooouuurrrrseee. * He says in utter disbelief, but I’ll show him that he’s wrong.

Laura goes in the middle of the bed, and I climb over her, and start kissing her n*****s, hoping that I’ll get hard, but again, my lips burn and my stomach turns into knots. f**k!

Apollo starts whistling a song, and I mentally punch him!

* Are you for f*****g real, Apollo? Don’t whistle! I can’t do anything if you’re in my head! *

*Ok. I’ll go. Just to prove you wrong. See you in 5, when you’ll realize that it’s useless, and you're an i***t. * I clench my jaw in frustration and anger, and try to concentrate on Laura’s moans but instead of arousing me, it annoys me.

She reaches for my d**k, but…yeah.

“ What’s wrong? ” Great! She’s talking.

“ Just a little stressed. ” She bites her lip seductively, then turns us around, climbing on top of me. She starts kissing my neck, but again, it feels like I’m being tortured.

“ Go straight to the point. We have only 45 minutes .” She listens and goes down, then starts stroking me but nothing happens. Well, almost nothing. Something it's happening. I'm about to throw up.

I close my eyes and concentrate, praying and hoping that it will work.

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She starts, or at least tries to suck me, but again, to my exasperation, nothing happens.

My d**k hates me!

“ Why don’t you get hard? ” Ohh for f***s sake! Because I found my mate, who is a man and who has a f*****g girlfriend, and my chest hurts, and I feel that I can’t breath.

But I can’t say that now, can I?

“ I’m very very stressed. I hoped that s*x will help, but it seems that it’s quite the opposite. ” Damn him and his damn eyes, and his damn lips, and his damn body and scent... what a f*****g intoxicating scent…

Fuck !

“ Let’s go back to school. ” I say in a defeated tone as I get out of bed and start dressing myself faster than I’ve ever dressed.

“ Are you serious right now? ” She asks in a high pitched voice making me cringe. I choose not to lose it, and finish dressing, then look at her, and to my surprise, disappointment and disgust, I see that she’s still naked and a bit angry.

“ Yes, Laura. I’m serious! It’s not my fault that-- ” I’m interrupted by a flying pillow,followed by a flying shoe.

“ LAURA? WHO THE f**k IS LAURA? ” Ups? Apollo comes back, and he’s laughing his ass off. Just perfect! That's what I need right now.

* This starts to get interesting. * The i***t barely managed to say between sobs of laughter.

“ Let’s go back to school. ” I say in a calm voice, but she crosses her hands over her chest and starts tapping her foot on the ground angrily.

“ What’s my name, Daemon?” She asks again,this time, her brown eyes are narrowed, her lips are in a tight line, looking quite scary.

Apollo starts laughing louder and louder, making it hard for me to think.

* Shut up and help me Apollo! *

* I can’t. I mean, I don’t know anything, remember? I’m just an useless God. *

* Apollo!!!! What’s her name??? * One can tell in my voice that my patience is running out, and I clench my jaw hard not to yell at him out loud.

“ WELL? WHAT’S MY DAMN NAME DAEMON??? ” She yells, then another shoe flies in my direction, and another, and another, then, she goes towards her desk, where it’s a lamp.

It’s not that I could get hurt, or even feel the hit, but she would break a nice lamp.

“I know your name! Don’t be ridiculous! ” I say in a DUH tone, stalling a little.

* Apollo,her name!!!! NOW!!! *I demand in a voice that leaves no room for discussion.

* If you promise you’ll listen to me for 2 days straight!* Has anyone, in the history of human kind or supernatural ever heard of a blackmailing God?

The lamp flies in my direction, and I catch it effortlessly, and put it on the ground.

* Ok. Fine! You have a deal. * I sigh in defeat, and prepare to dodge the shoe in her hand. How many shoes does this woman have???

* Marina.* He finally decided to do his job and help me get out of nasty situations, and before she gets to throw the shoe, I spill her name fast, and she calms down. THANK. YOU. JESUS!!!

* Actually,it's THANK.YOU.APOLLO! You ungrateful little s**t! * I suppress a laugh, and I hear Apollo growl in annoyance.

She smiles, and puts the shoe on the floor, then launches herself in my arms. Bipolar much?

" Let's go. We'll be late. " I say as I push her away, and try to plaster a smile on my face.

She finally gets dressed, and I drive back to school. FAST! f**k speeding tickets, the sooner I get rid of her, the better.

Of course that she apologized all the way there, and Apollo f****d my brain meanwhile, remembering me every 2 seconds how right he was, and how little I know, how limited my brain is, and I should never question him, and bla bla bla.

By the time I parked, I had a serious case of -f**k OFF- and a heavy head ache.

“ See you later babe! ” Laura says after she tried to kiss me, but I avoid her, pretending that I forgot my phone in the car. Marina. It was Marina. Anyway, irrelevant.

* Now go and find your mate. * Apollo advices me again, making my blood boil, because there's the possibility that he's with that...yeah, and my poor heart races at the thought of seeing his gorgeous self, and I don't think that I can take so many mix emotions at once.

* And say what? Do what? What if he’s with his girlfriend? And besides, he doesn’t look like he’s attracted to me. And yesterday I acted like a maniac. I don--*

* STOP TALKING! * Apollo yells/growls, and I stop. He can be scary sometimes, I’ll give him that.

* As I said, go find him and talk to him. I didn’t say that you should jump into his arms and mark him on the spot, I said that you should try to be his friend. He’s as big as you are, ask him if he wants to join the basketball team. Offer to show him around town. You know, what NORMAL people do! * I think about it for a few minutes, and he does have a point.

* What if I reject him? * Apollo growls, and my chest hurts at the thought. Really hurts. Physically hurts. Like someone hit me with a big, hot ball straight in my chest and left me breathless.

* You will live your whole life in pain. What you feel right now, it’s nothing compared to what you would feel if you reject him. And I don’t know why, but it affects me as well. * He says the last part as a whisper, and the usual confident voice is gone. This is one voice I haven't heard until now, and it shocks me.

* What do you mean it affects you? And it’s not normal? I mean, by others it's normal. Their inner wolf is also suffering. *

* Daemon,I’m not an inner wolf. I’m THE wolf! I’m a God! I don’t suffer because of your mate. I don’t have a mate.You can’t have them all. I tried…it doesn’t matter. * His voice is filled with disappointment, and if I wouldn’t know him, I would say that there’s a little pain behind his words.Again, I'm shocked and curious as f**k.

* Then why are you suffering now? *

* I don’t know. But what I know, it's that I am, and it doesn’t feel nice. So you’ll do what I say. *

* And if he rejects me? He doesn’t really seems too fond of me. * We both sigh hard, and I lean on a wall, waiting for the bell to ring and look for him.

* Maybe he’s trying to deny that he’s attracted to you as well. Maybe he’s afraid to admit it. Because there’s no other explanation. *

* You felt his aura. It was not arousal. And it should’ve been, right? * I ask ,hoping that he’ll give me an answer that will solve all my problems. Hoping that maybe he’ll say that it was a mix up, and he’s not really my mate.

* Yes. Something is off and I don’t know what. We need to find out. And he is your mate!!! * He yells the last part, probably more than exasperated.

* Ok Sherlock. Our lives are in your paws! I’m officially handing you the case. * Apollo chuckles,and I join. It’s a bitter sweet chuckle, but it’s better than nothing.

The bell rings, and I see the golden rope forming before I even see him. After a few seconds, he comes into view, again with that little…ok, deep breaths. With that girl glued to him.

He stops in place, and the girl stops as well. Of course she does.

She...breath in, Daemon, breath out. Calm.You can do it!

He starts looking through his backpack, and I try to go to him, but it seems that my legs won’t move. I’m too mesmerized by his beauty, and too angry because of the girl.

He runs a hand through his gorgeous hair, making it a sexy mess, and the girl says something, making his lips curl into a charming smile that shows his pearly teeth.

Anger and love. What a mix...

* HELLO! Staring at him like a creep, won’t help! Move your feet, and go to him! If you forgot how to, let me freshen up your memory. Move your right leg forward, then put the left one in front of it. Repeat the action and you’ll-- *

* Yeah yeah! I got it! Damn! * I start walking, and with every step, my heart beats faster and faster. My breath is out of control, and my mouth gets dry as f**k.

“ Yes? Can I help you? ” He looks at me expectanly, and I realize that I’m in front of him, staring like a creep, not knowing what to say.

* Apollo,help. * I wait for Apollo to respond, but he’s nowhere to be found. f**k!

“ Aaaa well…I w.was wondering if you…m.maybe want to join the basketball team? Y.you’re tall and all. ” HOLY f*****g s**t! DID I JUST STUTTER? Maybe he thinks it’s a condition. I sure f*****g hope he thinks that.

“ I don’t know.” He answers indecisively, making my poor heart stop.

“ I do. Join. It will be fun. Ok, most of the players are assholes, but the game is fun. ” The little…yeah. She talked, and even if she did me a favor without even knowing, I can’t let myself to like her.

I look at him expectantly, doing my best to hide the hope in my eyes, and he smiles. I’m melting.

* Apollo,so help me God, if you don’t help me-- *

* I’m here. I’m here. There’s something wrong. Do you smell that? * I take a deep breath through my nose, and there are a lot of smells, but his scent overpowers all of them, and it makes it hard for me to smell any other scents.

* What? I smell him and it makes it hard for me to keep my distance. *

“ Ok, I’ll come and see. ” He says it in a nonchalant tone, and the girl squeals and jumps up and down.

“ She’s Fairy. She’s always like that. ” He gestures to the girl, and she smiles widely, and I force myself not to grimace and kick her small ass to another small planet.

“ Interesting name. ” I state through gritted teeth, and try to smile back so they can't notice my mood, or see the murderous intentions that run through my mind, and the girl flashes me a hugeeee proud smile.

* Apollo, do me a favor and roll your eyes for me. * I practically beg, and he chuckles.

“ It’s not my name. Hunt calls me like that. Because I’m small, and I always smile, and I wear a lot of colors, and God knows what else. ” She talked so fast that I barely kept track, and her small hands gestured as she explained. If she wouldn’t be all over MY mate ,maybe I would’ve liked her.

P.S. Even his name is beautiful.

* What did I say? Don’t jump to conclusions. Ask first! * Apollo tries to reason with me,but...yeah, it's hard with her all over him.

“ Well, nice to meet you, Fairy. And thank you for convincing your boyfriend to give our team a shot.” I try to find out if shes his girlfriend without actually asking if she's his girlfriend, abd Apollo laughs, making me wish that I could roll my eyes at him.

* Smooth, kid, smooth...! * He laughs even harder, and I make a mental note to tell him to f**k OFF later.

“ Ohh he’s not my boyfriend. He’s my best friend! So if you want to steal him from me, you should know that I will put quite the fight! ” She squints her eyes and looks at me threateningly, and my mate, Hunt, starts to laugh out loud, but I can’t react. I feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders, whatever squeezed my heart just vanished, and least but not last, I’m lost in his gorgeous green eyes and manly laughter.

* Told you so! * Apollo says in an uptight voice ,but I can’t care less right now. I can finally breath.

“ Well, see you later.” He says in a cheery voice and taps my shoulder. My whole body felt like it was dead until now, and his touch brought me back to life, and I know he felt it also, because he quickly pulled his hand, and looked me straight in the eye, trying to find an answer.

“ See you later. ” I reply with a low voice and a big smile. Things are happening. I feel like a shy, teenage girl that loses her voice, powers, and brain while she talks with her crush.

They both go, but I feel like I’m rooted to the ground. My eyes are following him by their own, and as he goes further away, the need to go after him increases.

He looks back one more time, and I can’t help but smile. My heart grew bigger than planet Earth when he smiled back, and my body filled with thousands of millions of trillions of billions of butterflies.

As I was saying. Dead brain.
