Taming The Power

"I need to eat.” Don’t you mean that the babies need to eat?

"Same thing." Sighing I open my eyes to stare at the pitch black ceiling of my bedroom. All three of my mates are snoring louder than a freight train, making the bed slightly tremble. My name is Katiline, I’m the worlds truest hybrid/DemiGoddess. Big whoop. Yes I have God genes and I am a mixed of all the supernatural races. Apparently that makes me a huge deal. Whatever. I'm just focusing on the present and future.

My body temperature is warm due to all the naked bodies around me. Even though there is an open window with the freezing mountain breeze blowing through.

“Need some sweet tea.” Nag, nag, nag. I roll my eyes at my Lycan, Dragon hybrid, Siteria. It has been ten weeks since I came back from the Hades the God of the Underworld realm. Bryan wakes up and see’s that I am awake. He turns his head to look down at me over Jack's large shoulders. His green eyes sparkle in the moon light.

“What is it tonight?” He asks in his slow southern drawl.

“Sweet tea.” Softly smiling at me he leans towards me, making Jack grumble and kisses my large, and I mean LARGE belly. Bryan's tattoos ripple with each movement of his arms and torso. His square jaw and pouty lips make it hard not to kiss him. The triplets were supposed to be born three weeks ago according to my aunts. Don't get me wrong I love being pregnant but the swollen feet, unable to see my legs and toes I can live without.

These cravings are something else too. Once I craved a mango smoothie when none of the ice cream shops were open. I shifted into my half form of large black wings, black clawed arms, swirling all black eyes with a range of colors. Along with large sharp fangs, forming fireballs and ice balls in my hands with how I didn't get my smoothie right then and there. My mates rebuild the playground in the center of town that was thankfully empty of children.

"Need help?" Carter asks softly to me, with being lost in my own thoughts I didn't see him get up too. His long black hair with his Native American heritage is so striking that my mouth waters at my delicious mate. His red eyes sparkle as he chuckles at my train of thought and helps me get up and out of Jack's embrace.

My third mate Jack could sleep through a bombing, his light brown skin kissed by soft black tattoos showing his magic. He used to have short dreadlocks on top of his head, but now it is a smooth shave. His birth mark is poking through which is on his lower left hip.

"You are always hungry for us." Carter whispers in my ear making me blush.

"Can you blame me? All of my mates look like Gods that need to be licked." Bryan's laughter is heard from the bedroom.

"Sweet tea, then we lick our mates." Agree. Carter chuckles and picks me up bridal style in his arms.

"I'm too heavy, put me down..." I say with a pout, my fingers tangling themselves in his long soft hair. Carter kisses my cheek.

"Ah my love that is where you are wrong, being a Hell Hound gives me a ton of strength. You're as light as a feather." I roll my eyes at him and see Bryan making me an iced sweet tea on our large kitchen island. Carter puts me down on one of out barstools that is able to fit me and my large cargo.

"Cargo? Really? Those are our most loved babies." Bryan pouts and I blow a raspberry at him.

"Drink, my love." Carter pushes the drink close to me and my hands snatch it off the island almost spilling the whole thing. Drinking deeply, my eyes close in bliss. Siteria purrs loudly making Bryan chuckle.

"Hey mon coeur, what are you doing up at three am?" I don't pause my drinking, as Jack kisses me on the head and walks around to Carter giving him a kiss also. His deep blue eyes stare at the drink gripped in my hands and he smiles widely.

"I wouldn't think about it, remember the playground?" Bryan says against Jack's lips giving him a kiss also.

"Who knows what will happen if we take whatever the little Goddess craves away..." Mummers Carter as he pulls out his own drink. Jack's eyes get a far away look before he shivers.

"Lets not find out." He says in his deep Creole accent. My cheeks flush as I flip them the bird.

"Oh, our little mate is feisty this morning." Carter chuckles out. Bryan walks around the island towards the stock pile we have for the triplets.

"Since we are all up, let's go through everything and put things away. They can come any day now and I personally would like to be prepared." I groan and cross my eyes.

"I'll help." Carter says before giving my belly a loving rub.

"I'll cook for mon coeur, since I can hear that stomach rumble." I swat at Jack while he laughs.

"Teriyaki spam please. With honey mustard sauce. OH and rice!"

"Coming right up!" Carter and Bryan go through all of the boxes that my mother bought for us plus from the baby shower my little brother's mate Harley threw for me.

"Just make some for everyone love, it actually sounds delicious." Carter said while opening up the box for the bottles.

"Please add cooked spinach and garlic." Siteria said softly to Jack through our mate bond.

"No spinach, we don't want to risk any blood clots, how about asparagus?" Jack says softly.

"Even better. Thank you mate."

"Thank you love, I am starving. I just wish our bundles of joy were here already so I can each whatever I want...like sushi." I say on a sigh, all three of my mates laugh at me. Jack starts to cook while I slowly slide off the barstool and head towards the couch. Every so often Carter and Bryan would curse up a storm and throw pieces across the room, just to sulk towards what they threw to bring back. The TV is softly playing above the fireplace and I feel myself dose off.

"Mmmm food." Sitting up I see Jack sitting next to me with a bowl of food in his lap. Slowly the sun starts to rise and I smile gratefully before stuffing my face. Soon I look around and see that the car seats, cribs, dresser and strollers are lined up against the wall towards the front door.

"Carter and Bryan left to deal with a small problem, they will be back though." Jack says sleepily. On cue my two mates walk through the door with my parents in tow along with the whole gang.

"Ok everyone lets get the nursery all set up!" My mother says while she claps her hands together. My father has Harley tucked under his arm as he walks towards the couch. Mother was right when she warned him about being attached to his sons' mate.

"Hello little pup, nap time again?" I nod my head with my eyes slowly closing until I sniffed the air. Sitting up I squeal.

"YOU'RE PREGNANT?!" Harley blushes and nods. Then my attention was brought to Aurora, whom was squirming in her own skin. I lightly sniff. My eyes wide.

"You too?! Wait...but-" Aurora blushes and her eyes shot to her mate, who smiles and leaves her to explain.

"Well...the Gods have a sense of humor...she is well...equipped to put me in this state." I barked out a laugh and hugged them both.

"Pay up, she guessed within five seconds." Lissa said to Phillip, who grumbled and smack a five dollar bill in her hand. I chuckle as Harley, Aurora and I are sandwiched around my father. Carter and Lissa bring over blankets for us and I remember breathing in my fathers scent before falling asleep. The three of us were woken up two hours later to the smell of sweet tea, mango smoothies, and a full feast.

I open my eyes and see that baby Kody is being held in my arms. Lavy must have put him there while she worked with everyone. I kiss his chubby cheeks and his eyes open to show a mix of ice blue and red eyes. He coos at me, drooling slightly.

"Ah you're awake...good job son." Marcellus says to his son Kody. He slowly picks him up giving Kody a huge kiss on his neck making him giggle. Slowly I sat up and see that Harley is being fed by Phillip while Aurora is being cuddled by Lissa next to me.

"We finished an hour ago." Lissa purred softly trying to not wake her mate.

Nodding my head, I squeeze her hand and stand up. I only wobbled slightly and yet suddenly I am in my mates arms.

"Good morning mon coeur." Jack kisses my forehead while bringing me into the nursery. My mother is putting away the last of the clothes in the dresser and closet. Dad and Carter are finishing the wood accent wall behind the three cribs.

"Bryan is out getting more food and something a little extra." My mother said after giving my belly a rub. I swat at Jack and slowly he puts me down.

My mother freezes, sniffs the air and scowls.

"Moth-"

"Hello Granddaughter." I see Nyx standing behind my frozen mother.

"Hello, do you mind unfreezing everyone?"

"Not right now, in a moment." She waves her hand, I find myself sitting with her right next to me while everyone is still frozen.

"Nyx, I am guessing that you're here about the babies?" I say with a small smile. She places a hand on my stomach and smiles.

"In part yes, they will be coming next week...but...it won't be pleasant." I look deeply into her grey eyes and feel a chill go down my spine.

"What did Hecate see?"

"Now don't worry-"

"I will do nothing but worry Grandmother. Tell me." She sighs and places her hands on my either side of my head.

"She needs to push." My mother says with urgency.

"My love, don't do it! Do you not see your daughter is almost split apart?!" Carter screams at my frantic mother, tears coming down his face. The vision swivels towards the hospital bed. The sight was gruesome...blood was everywhere. Jack was chanting while trying to hold a bundle in his arm. Bryan was by my head trying to keep me awake.

"Your daughter is suffocating!" Cecilla screams at the two of them. My father was weeping, feeling my life slip away.

"How can this be stopped?" Nyx sat and stared at me thinking or talking to someone.

"Hecate will induce you early and will help you." She looked away quickly.

"Grandmother...what are you not telling me?"

"Hades needs to be there also, we all know that he can't leave..." I feel a headache start and wave my hand over everyone. The spell Nyx casted was lifted much to her dismay.

"Mother." My mother seethed at Nyx.

"Before everyone freaks out, Grandma needs to show something to everyone." I glare at her and she sighs while giving everyone the same vision I saw. The house was silent.

"No."

"That can't be!"

"How can this be stopped?" My father and Bryan say as they walk in the door.

"Hecate will induce me early but Hades has to be there also for reasons unknown." I say. At that everyone is in an uproar. Standing up I hold up my hand, bringing everyone to silence.

"We need to make sure that none of this happens. As of right now we need a hospital bed, and all supplies to be brought to Hades realm. This needs to happen-"

"Tomorrow night." Nyx answers for me leaving everyone to start yelling again.
