Disclaimer: I don't own the world in witch this story is written the characters are based on the Dark hunters series written by Sherrilyn Kenyon.I have a few Original characters and have improvised on some things.

Authors note: thanks Anna for your suggestions, and corrections. I guess I don't have the book in witch Xedrix's children are named and it wasn't on the website so thanks for that i will be sure to put the correct info down on my next book. As for Cody i didn't even think of Faternal i just saw twin and went with it. I knew he was arcadian i just had him as a bear so changed him to Katagaria to suit my purpose. But then later in the story i Have Katagaria panthers fighting as human so lol i kind messed up there a little thanks to nghtmrduc for the follow.

Alysia grabbed Drakes hand. And looked to see that he had the design. Witch was stupid he was the only person she'd been with. She just couldn't belive it. The fates had mated her to the man she wanted. But how did he feel about it? He had done the Charontes mating ritual with her. But this was different. Now he literally couldn't have sex with anyone else. Well at least in theroy, as a god he may be above the impotence curse. She looked up into his stunned eyes. "What do you want to do?" She asked him. She was almost afraid of the answer. "It's not up to me. But I want to be your mate. The real question is. What do you want to do?" He asked. Kerryna and Xedrix had left the room. In answer to his question. She pulled his lips to her and flipped him on the bed. She was only in shirt and he was naked. She put there marked palms together. "You can't move during this. Or it won't work. The female has to accept the male into her body without help." She explained as she sat his sex up. She straddled him. And slowly took him to the hilt. They both let out groans of pleasure. "I accept you as you are. And I will always hold you close in my heart. I will walk beside you forever. Now, if you say it back to me we are mated." He repeated her words.

And as soon as the last words left him. He felt his fangs enlongate. "This is the thirio where we choose wether or not bond our life forces together. It is said that even in the next life the fates have to reincarnate us together, so we may find each other." She explained. "Well I'm immortal. And I am guessing since you are 800 and haven't aged you are to?" He said."Yes, I am. But I don't want even death to seperate us." He showed his agreement by sinking his fangs into her throat. Her blood was a dark wine on his tongue. He'd drank blood before. When he drained the godhood from the Atlantean god of hatred. For killing some of his charges just for enjoyment. Absorbing the gods powers into himself. But her blood flooded him with intense pleasure.. It made him alive with a powerful lust, and profound desire. He felt her within him. And when she sank her own fangs in his shoulder he felt their life forces and souls connect. Alysia had never felt such pleasure as when Drakes fangs were in her. Until a momsnt later, when she drank from him. Their body's climaxed at the same time. As she felt his blood mix within hers. A shockwave of power shot through the two of them. Their bodies changed into their demon forms. As the blood bond also combined their powers. His power was enormous and she only had a taste of it.

When Drakaris pulled back, and looked into Alysia's now silver and opalecnt eyes. He knew she had absorbed some of his godhood. Combing his silver eyed godhood with her demonic multicolored eyes. But he didn't feel weaker. In fact he'd never felt so powerful. It was as though their blood exchange, and sex had supercharged him. He'd always heard rumors that sex charged were hunters powers. And through the blood exchange he now shared that characteristic. He was still hard in her. He rolled them over. And started moving his hips against her. She arched her back taking him deeper. He kissed, and licked her neck over the vein he just took. She moaned and tilted her head, grabbing his head pulling him to her vein. "Please, take more." He struck his fangs in her. She came, screaming his name. Her sex tightened on his milking another oragasm from him.

Drake could stay cradled by her body for the rest of eternity. At least that's what he thought. Until she said "your crushing me." He laughed at her strained voice and rolled over until she was on top. "Better?" He asked. She sighed and snuggled in. "Much better. We should probably get up. You need to get the keys, to your house soon. We've got alot to do today." She said as she stroked his chest."Our house." He corrected. Then he started laughing. The beautiful sound sending shivers over her. "What?" She asked. "I was just thinking. When we went to look at the houses. We told Mrs. Richards we were engaged. And now we're mated." She laughed as she thought about that. After they got dressed, she said. "I know we've only known each other a few days. But i'm glad your my mate." He walked over to her and pulled her into his arms. "I'm happy to be yours." He kissed her lips, then the tip of her nose.

They walked downstairs to tell Xedrix where they were going. Xed looked up from the bar. Where he was pulling reciets. He did a double take. "You made her a god?" He asked. "Wha.. oh her eyes. Yeah i mean she absorbed some godhood. But I don't know excatly how it works. I still have everything I began with. And possibly more. Its like both our powers merged. How do you feel?" He asked Alysia. "Much more powerful I guess. What do you mean my eyes?" Drake manifested a mirror. She gasped when she saw her eyes. "Just picture them how they were and they'll go back to normal. She did and they went back to there green blue color. "We're going to go pick up the keys to our new house. Then set up our new furniture. And place a protective barrier around it. Should be back around 6." He turned to leave.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Xedrix asked. Drake looked over at him. "No ones supposed to leave with less than two others with them. Isn't that your new rule akri?" The akri was said as sarcastically as possible. "I think we'll be fine. And cut the akri crap." Drake returned just as sarcastically. "Rules is rules." "Are you volenteering?" Drake asked. "No, I had someone else in mind. Caladon. (Cale-a-done) He called. A yellow and black demon, with green eyes slitted with black snake like pupils appeared. "Akri. Akra." He said. "Your gonna go with them today." Xedrix told him. Caladon looked nervous. "It's okay Cale it's only for today." Drake told him. The demon became a black mist and laid himself on Drakes forearm. Now in the form of a stylised dragon. Alysia gasped "how'd he do that?" Drake answered. "All Charonte can do that. Its how they monitored the gods they were bonded with. In this form he can monitor my body. And I can project my thought to him. If he sinces I'm in danger he will come off to eat my enimies."

They picked up the keys from Bill laurens office. And got their voodoo supplies for protection wards. From Selena who happened to be Bills wife. Drake would have never guessed the straight laced lawyer, was married to the eccentric psychic. Then they headed to Home Depot and got nearly a hundred sheets of 10' by 10' steel meshed panels. They got to their house as the furniture delivery truck arrived. Alysia directed the stores crew to where things went. After they left Drake called out. "Caladon take human form." As the demon became a handsome man in blue jeans and black plain tee. "Yes, Akri." "You dont have to call me Akri. I was wondering if you'd help me and Alysia. We were gonna set up protective barrier's for our house." "Yes Akri" "Thanks. I'll have Alysia order us some pizza's meat lovers with jalepenos work for you." "Yes akri. Thankyou akra." Alysia laughed Drake couldn't win the 'don't call me akri' battle.

They got back to the club a little after 6. "Caladon take form." "Akri." "Thanks for helping today Cale." He told the demon. "Thankyou Caladon." Alysia said as well. "Akra, Akri." He answered. Xedrix came downnstairs. "How'd it go today?" He asked as Caladon left. "It went good. You and Kerryna will have to come visit us sometime. I got to thinking while we were out. Maybe we should have Tyris and Ceres take tattoo form on one of the weres. And have them go out looking like they have no protection. Use them as bait, to draw out the enemy. And prepare our own ambush." Drakes said. Xedrix looked as though he was considering it for awhile. "I mean, its a good idea cousin don't get me wrong. I'm just concerned about whoevers bait. Those bears are quality people. I wouldn't want them, or any of our warriors hurt. Only about thirty of us that were sent out are left. And with no females on this side we can't afford to loose anyone." "I agree with you. I want no one but the gallu to die. You know that. And they would have all the protection I could give them. And we would have to have reinforcements ready to go in at a moments notice. I just thought this plan would go over better with them. If they thought it was coming from you. I dont want them thinking I ordered them out to fight." "Well i'll tell them. But what about the bears?" Xed asked. "We will both have to go over. And ask them if they would consider it." Alysia really wanted to go with her mate. But seeing as how she couldn't go to sanctuary without getting the bears in trouble. She had to stay put. She looked up at Drake. "You be careful. I don't like being left behind, by the way." Drake wrapped her up in his arms. "I know baby. Why don't you get online. And find a store front for lease, for your shop and we'll be back soon." He kissed her. "Take Caladon with you please." she told him. He smiled at her. Xedrix called Cale and they teleported out.

Taking form in Sanctuary. Xedrix, Drake, and Caladon, went to find the bear clan. He found Quinn, Colt, and Justin, at the bar talking. They all stood up seeing the three demons heading towards them. "What's up?" Quinn asked. "Got somewhere private to talk. Bring the others and Fang." They followed the bears up to a private office with Aimee setting behind the desk. She looked up as they entered. "What's wrong?" She asked. They waited until Remi, Fang, Justin, Dev and his mate the dark hunter Samia. Joined them before shutting the door. "Tyris, Ceres." Xed called. The demons materalized in the office. "Akri" they both greeted and bowed to Drake. "So, we have away to get rid of the Gallu after us right now." Xedrix stated. Tyris, Ceres, and Justin perked up at that. "It's a bit risky. But our plan was to have one of you weres go out and wander around like your alone. You won't be though. Because Tyris and Ceres will be riding on your bodies. Ready to come out at a moments notice." Justin spoke up. "I'll do it." "I knew you would. But for this, I was thinking the were with the built in demon detector." They all looked at Fang who nodded. "We need to get these bastards out of our town." Fang said in answer. Drake looked at Justin "you'll be called in as reinforcements along with Radoc, Scorche, Caladon, Alysia, and myself. I will be able to keep them from teleporting out, and using a good deal of there powers. While amplifying the Charontes, who can't be infected by Gallu. And you and Tyris will get to kill some of these bastards. Time to lay a trap for our ambushers. We need some of the rest of you, for evacuation if someones hurt. Along with Carson on standby in the clinic. The best time to do it is in daylight, where there weakest. We" he motioned to the charontes and himself."wont be affected by it." "The Howlers fight with Justin." Colt stated. "And I will be joining the fun. You can't have a party, and not invite the Amazon." Said Samia. "Its to close to dark to start tonight. So, hows first light sound?" They all were in agreement. "Last thing." Aimee said. "Are you mated?" Drake smiled. "Yes, Alysia and I are mated." he said happily. Holding his palm out for them to see. There was around of congradulations.

Drake got back to club Charonte. And Alysia and Kerryna were exploring her new powers. "I'm not sure what his powers are." Kerryna was explaining. "He has some of his Father Justice's, and grandfather Issoro, the god of moderation, temperance, harmony, and wisdom. Then whatever he absorbed from consuming Hatred. I know he was the justice god sent out to protect innocent. And later to deliver his father final ruling. So he has some precog power. And I'm sure he can look into the heart of someones past to judge them. But most are just gonna have to be taught by him." "What does everyone mean consumer of hatred?" Alysia asked her. "Well, during a war fought shortly after he was born. And two hundred years before the fall of Atlantis. There were several orphaned slaves, brought back from Greece. As they were all children, Drakaris freed them, and placed them under his protection. The God of Hatred, killed them horribly one day. While Drake was on a misson elsewhere. For no more than being Greek, they were tortured, and killed. When Drake got back and saw what was done. He fought, and defeated the other God. Who then swore to harm anyone under Drakes protection from then on. Once an Atlantean god makes an oath it can not be broken with out killing that god. Drake attacked the God. Drank all his blood then ate his shrivled remans in a single bite. He absorbed the gods power. And became one of the most feared Gods in the pantheon. Second only to the queen goddess, and now her son. Apollymi, godest of destrustion. And Apostolos, the harbringer, the final fate of the universe. They named him Drakaris, guardian of the innocent, herald of justice, consumer of Hatred."

Drake walked in. "Hey, what's up girls? Did you find a store you wanted to go look at?" He asked Alysia. Who jumped up. "Make some noise when you walk. You just cost me one of my nine lives." She glared at him before walking up and kisskng him. "I found a couple places I like. That are in my price range. There kind of out of the way though. Kerryna said her and Xedrix could loan me money for a place in the square, but I dont know about that." Drake smiled at her. "Baby you don't have a price range." He said then waved his hand. A large trunk appeared and opened revealing a pile of gold and jewels. "I've got a stockpile of currency. Been saving for 11000 yrs." Alysia laughed. "Guess there are some perks to marrying an old man." "Old man." He said indignantly. Then he started tickling her ribs. She squealed and teleported away from him. "Whats wrong kitten? Did the nasty old man tickle you?" His smile was in toxicating. "You keep your wrinkly but over there." She teased. "Uh..wrinkly but. Now i'm gonna have to spank your baby bottom." "Umm. You promise?" She asked seductivley. "Careful my love. You may give this old man a heart attack."

Okay so 'my love.' Wasn't I love you. But it still made Alysia's heart sing. To cover up her sudden blush. She asked "so what are we gonna do tonight?" Drake manifested an old wooden cane. "What's that my dear. Your gonna have to speak up. Hearings the first thing to go, you know?" He said in a perfect impression of an old man. Even Kerryna laughed at that. She half shouted. "What are you gonna do with your young mate tonight geezer?" He straightened and got rid of the cane. "I could think of several things to do with her." He answered with an evil grin. She smiled big walked into his arms. "Dirty old man." She said up at him, before she kissed him. "What'd you want to do tonight kitten?" "Well, its the Crescent city blues and BBQ festival. We could get music and great food in one stop. Kerryna would you and Xedrix care to join us? I know you said you have 30 babysitters." Kerryna smiled "that'd be great Xedrix and I haven't been out in awhile. I might actually be able to talk him into it, if there's BBQ."

Alysia was finally having fun. After 750 years of running. She got to stop and smell the roses. And with Drake and her new family by her side they smelled great. She danced, sang, and laughed at Xedrix. Who had hit up each bbq stand at least twice. Her and Drake walked hand in hand back between the two stages set up for muscians. And after the festival closed for the day. Drake talked Xedrix into taking seperate horse drawn carriages on a tour. Kerryna, and Xed were such love sick fools. It was great to finaly have that in common with someone. She'd spent an eternity on the outside looking in. Every minute spent with Drakaris was a moment spent In Heaven. He was so fun. And unafraid to act just as carefree as she was. And after this tour ended she was gonna lick every inc... That thought was interupted when Drake stopped the driver and paid him. He helped her down. And led her into an alley where he released her hand. He was obviously tracking something. She saw what, as they rounded the corner. Half a dozen Daimons were surounding a pair of women in there late teens early twenties. "Back off you long haired pervs." The smaller of the two shouted. She held a long curved dagger in her hands. Probally ten inches long, with a strong thin blade. The taller one held a similar one in a defensive position. They stood back to back. "You cost us dinner. But, now we found something better. We'll be taking your powers for ourselves." Alysia felt a new sense of urgency to help these women. Anastasia (ah-nah-stay-see-ah) the taller one, and older sister to Anatalia. (Ah-nah-tahl-ee-ah)She could see both women's pasts in an instant. They'd had hard lifes suffering many trials. But never let it defeat them. Or let it force them to abandon there beliefs. In right and wrong. She manifested several shuriken letting them fly. Dispatching the daimons facing the taller woman. At the same time Drake dispatched the others. Moving in quick and sliding past there defenses. Slipping a dagger into the heart of the one who spoke. Before spinning and catching the others. They all burst into golden dust. The sister held there defensive stances.

Aysia walked up to them. "I am Alysia, this is my husband Drakaris. We won't harm you." The women lowered there arms but kept there daggers in hand. The shorter, younger woman said. "I am Anatalia, this is my sister Anastasia. Thanks for your help." Just then Xedrix, and Kerryna came upon them. "What the hell are you doing? Running off to fight without me again." Xed demanded. Drake rubbed the back of his neck. "Just thought you would want to spend time with your wife. Instead of dealing with Daimons. You two seemed to be in the middle of a game of tonsil hockey." Alysia burst out laughing. She tried to cover the sounds with her hands. Xedrix glared at them, while Kerryna hid her own smile. The women put there daggers away with small smiles. "This is my cousin Xedrix, and his wife Kerryna." Drake introduced "Would you ladies like to join us for dinner?" Alysia asked. The women looked at themselves in debate. "Come on. Drake's buying." Xed added. Drake bowed his head slightly at them, before saying. "I'd be honored to treat you. Tony's is right up the street." They nodded once and began following.

Drake made sure they were seated away from others. When they were given a table shortly after arriving. "Are you both old enough to drink?" He asked, though he knew they were. Anatalia had turned 21 the week before. Her sister, Anastasia was 23. After they nodded he ordered a couple bottles of shiraz. After they all had something to drink in front of them. Alysia and Kerryna took over the conversation. "You lived here long?" Kerryna asked. "We moved here from Kansas city, Missouri. Two years ago." Anastasia answered. "You like it here?" Alysia asked. They both shrugged. "It's okay." Talia answered. "So where you working?" "The mall, Talia works in a shoe store. I do nails in the salon." Ana said. Not mentioning they were both part-time. Living in a rundown apartment. Trying to scrape a living together. "Oh,that's nice. You have any other family?" Kerryna asked. Knowing the answer, wasn't a happy one. "It's just us now. Our mother passed away. Before we left Missouri. We never knew our father." Anatalia answered. The waiter arrived. Drake ordered, with several appetisers for the table. Then everyone else ordered. The young ladies ordering the least expensive thing.(hence the appetisers.)

After the waiter left. "So what talent did the Daimons plan on stealing from you?" Drake asked rather bluntly. They froze and exchanged nervous looks. He cloaked there table from human eyes, and minds. Reached out his hand and tapped the candle in the center of the table turning the flame blue. Then tapped it again returning it to normal. Alysia said. "We all have some talents as well. We want nothing from you two. But we may have a way to help you." The waiter arrived with the appetisers. After he left. "Fire, and light." Said Anatalia. "Water, and shadows." Anastasia added. Drake knew they also had telepathy, and a little telekensis. And a gift he couldn't identify. "I can conjure fire. And bend light. Ana water, and shadows." Anatalia said. "Have you always had these gifts?" Drake asked. "No, they started coming in around the age of 18 Same for Talia." " And ever since then, Daimons have been after us. It wasn't bad when mom was still alive. But now, at least once every few weeks we're attacked." Explained Anastasia. "Well here's our numbers. Call us any time you need anything. Its up to you, but I think we can hone your abilities. And your combat skills." Alysia said writing her and Drakes numbers down. Along with the number to club Charontes.

The rest of the meal was spent in idle conversation. Kerryna told the girls about club Charontes. Asking them to come visit. Alysia told them about starting up a jewelry store. Casually stating she'd soon be needing, to hire someone to help. They had asked Drake what he did for a living. "I'm in law." He had said. Like a lawyer? They had asked. "More like a judge." They all talked about there night. At the cresent city blues and bbq festival. Witch was where the two had been hanging out before happening upon the daimons looking for dinner. As they were preparing to leave. Drake manifested Two rings with his personal symbol of power. A sword bathed in light and dark. The light symbolizing Protection, reward. The dark, judement, punishment, and the battle we all fight." If you ever need me, focus on an image of me. This will let me know. If you go to club Charonte, to seek me. Show one of the staff this and they will find me. And give you anything you need."
