Evelina

I’ve woken up on a cloud. A veryfortable cloud. I wonder how it is that hell has the nicest bed I’ve bever /bslept on. Maybe bI /bshould take it home to the mortal realm with me. bI /breluctantly get out of bed, bthe /bck bsilk /bsheets gliding off my body like a whisper bof /ba promise toe bback/b…and I want to, but I don’t. I have things to do today. It’s extremely hard to tell the time here with no actual sunlight and windows that depict a sunny exterior to our kingdom. I have a quick shower in the ck and red marbled bathroom to freshen up, after my mates ravaged me before I fell into a blissful sleep, I need one. Then I head out to find where said mates are. Xavier’s office is emptyb, /bso I move onb. /bHaiden’s space is…different, I’ can see he’s been here, but he’s not currently here. I enjoy how it doesn’t bfeel /blike hell when you enter, with light colours and soft materials, it’s very weing, almost as if you’re in a different realm to the underworld. I leave through the doorb, /band I spot…sparkly rainbow boot prints? How strange. I follow them anywayb, /bleading me towards Levi’s area, where I’m surprised once again to find apletely different space from what it once wasb. /bIt’s bcosy/bb, /bwarmb, /band extremely efficient. When I check the tablet, I can see that beach /bsoul now has their own space to rest in which is, really nice, especially for the souls who will go up to the beyond. I continue to follow the boot prints to a single door, and what’s on the other side has my ovaries doing somersaults as I watch Haiden and Levi in the middle of what looks like a child’s wondend ying tag with a group of young children.

“I got you! That means I’m next!” One little boy yells as he taps Levi.

“Okay, fair, are you ready?”

“I’m so ready!” The little boy jumps with excitement as Levi bassesses /bhis soul with a smile.

“Congrattion’s buddy.” He smiles warmly at the child. “Up you go.” He takes a step back from the child as a warm light surrounds his little frame and he slowly fades away to the beyond.

Haiden notices me first bas /ba little girl tugs on his arm. “Who’s the prettydy?” She whispers loudlyb, /bmaking Haiden smirk at me. “That’s bmy /b

Queenb./bb” /b

The kids gasp and jump with excitement, running towards me. “Are you really a bQueen/bb?!/bb” /b

I kneel in front of them. “I am.”

“Can you grant wishes?!” The same little girl says, making meugh.

“Do you have a bwish/b?”

She nods excitedly. “I want to go to the happy ce. bCan /bI wish for bthat/b?” I look over her shoulder where Levi is standing, and he nods at me.

“Wish granted.” I wink, and she begins bto /bglow bas /bher image fades.

“Thank you!” She waves happily while dancing around.

Once the small group of children finally ascends to the beyond, bI /bstand to question my mates on why there was such arge group of them here, but they seemingly already know it’sing.

“We need to exin something, doll,b” /bLevi says, taking my hand with a gentle kiss.

“We should find the othersbi./i/bbi” /i/bHaiden nodsb, /bcreating a portal that we step through.

I almost have a fucking heart attack when my feetnd onto what I think is thin air above a raging fire below. It takes me a good moment to realise it’s a ss floor, inside a giant metal cage, suspended in bthe /bmiddle of a massive circr…hell? Whatever Noah has done here, this is definitely frightening. From where we stand, you can see in every direction torture rooms stacked miles high and low, all around and connected by esctors. Esctors in hell, how very modern of him. There are metal cages that hang above us with souls, I suspect are waiting for their assigned roomsb, /bor maybe they’re just up there bas /bpart of their punishment. The mere thought of having to view this ce from up there would be a punishment.

bYou /ball bhave /bbeen busyb, /bI see.”

Haiden nods with ba /bsmile. “Did you see my waiting roomb?/bb” /b

“I did. It’s very bnice/bb, /bdarling.b” /bbI /bpat his arm, while Levi walks around bthe /breception desk and speaks through a microphone that sts through speakers I can’t seeb. /b

“Kings of the underworld. bI /brepeat, Kings of the underworldb, /bcan you bplease /bbreport /bbto /bthe reception desk for your Queen?b” /bHe bsays/bb, /bclearly making meugh, how very modern of him. I bbet /bnow he’ll have a speaker system set up at the orphanage to direct the children more easilyb. /b

I watch as Xavier and Noah exit from a room above and slowly make their bway /baround the semi–circle, onto an besctor/bb, /bband /bdown to us. Noah kisses me softly before passing me off to Xavier to do the same.

“Did you have a good nap, little mate?”

“I did actually.” I blush, remembering why I was tired to begin with. Noah cages me in between the two of themb, /bleaning down bto /bwhisper in my ear. “It’s our turn tonight.b” /b

The hunger in his voice has me grinding my thighs together in need. Haiden clears his throat behind usb, /bbreaking me out bof /bthe moment of lust, and Noah steps back from me, while Xavier looks down at me thoughtfully, running his hand along my jaw to the back of my nape.

“I’m guessing you’re here to find out what has happened?b” /b

“Uh, yeah, the very cute group of children in the underworld was a little bit questionable.”

He nods slowly. “I found their souls in Tris, little mate.”

“What?” My heart hammers in my ears. All those children…died in my pack?
