Parthina

For a Demon Prince to come into their higher power, they must take the body and power of a Maiden Virgin. Maiden Virgins had holy powers, a pure gift from the Gods to balance power. But long ago a mighty Demon Lord fell in love with one such maiden, and it was through that union that this high power was discovered. Thus began the practice. Demons became stronger and Maidens fell into line among the Demon houses. To gain their markings, a Demon must fill the womb and impregnate a Maiden, and only then would they achieve their markings and be able to attract a Demoness for a mate.

Whether they kept the Maiden and halfling child was up to each Demon, but most threw them aside.

Lord Yasa was not one of them; he kept both his human bride and his halfling son. Lord Yasa was the greatest of demons. Unlike most, he was forgiven and understanding and for the most part, good. He didn't look past the age of thirty and while was heavier than other lords, it was a healthy heavy. Lord Yasa also had a beard, which was also unlike others of his kind. Lord Yasa was a Gray Wolf Demon.

Lord Yasa had two sons. They were both of age and the time had come. Their names were Lord Severin and Lord Meldon. Severin was the eldest and was born to a demonic mother. He was tall and robust, and his face was always set to stone, he showed no emotions. His eyes were gold, and when he got angry, you knew it. His hair was platinum and long, slightly past his chest. You could easily mistake him for an angel, but he nothing less than a devil to many.

Maldon was the half-blood. His hair was auburn, a sign that he was, in fact, a half-blood Prince. His hair was messy and fell around his cheekbones. He was a tad shorter than this older brother and bit thicker. Some called him a Red Wolf instead of a Gray Wolf. When he transformed his coat was red, it was a sign of his half-blood, and he stood out. Meldon did not transform often; it was just another reminder that he was an outcast.

Maldon was kinder and liked by many like his father before him.

"Come, my sons, it is time."

Both sons rose from their kneeling and followed their father to a village. Everyone they passed bowed to them. They were Demons among Demons.

"Are my chosen ready?" Lord Yasa asked.

"Yes My Lord," Nash bowed. Nash was the eldest son of the village. Tall with a stone jaw and short dark hair. His eyes were as blue as the sky. His father was a doctor his mother a matchmaker. Then there was Sora who stood by the doors guarding them, stopping anyone other than the chosen males from going in. Sora was a no-nonsense kind of girl with strong arms and a great tan, mostly from working out in the heat. She was tall at 5'6 with black hair and deep green eyes. Her face could match the coldness of the great Lord Severin himself.

Lord Yasa waved his hand, and Sora bowed and moved and opened the first door. Steam poured out. "For you Meldon, I have the sweet and powerful Parthenia." Lord Yasa spoke.

Severin slightly narrowed his eyes. Parthenia was far more potent than any other Maiden around, even if she had not fully tapped into her raw power, he hoped his father would pair him with her. Plus, that little woman looked like she needed a good breaking. Parthenia was small on the outside standing at only 5'3 and weighing about 110 wet. She had long brown hair that curled towards the bottom; it rested right below her plump but not overly large breasts. Her skin was light as were her eyes. She had wide green eyes that were as green as grass. She looked fragile. It was wise not to underestimate her.

"For you Severin, I have chosen the elder, colder yet strong, Oni."

Meldon looked at the second door that opened. He secretly loved her, and she him, but they could not speak out about it. After they impregnated them, if Severin didn't keep her, which he was sure his brother wouldn't, he would claim her; Meldon decided he didn't need a demonic lover. He was prepared for his brother's anger over it.

"Go and claim them." Their father said.

Meldon stripped and went into the warm water where Parthenia was standing with a sheer robe over her body. He had always cared about her, like a little sister. Meldon slipped a hand around her waist. "Don't fight it, okay?"

"Ok." She said weakly,

Severin also stripped his clothes and walked to the older sister, who looked nothing but ready to get it over with. Overpowering her would be easy.

"My Lord." Oni bowed her head.

"Oni," Severin spoke.

Meldon tilted Parthenia back, and her hair brushed the water. She made a noise when his mouth caught one of her breasts.

Severin looked over, and her eyes met his.

"Brother." She whispered she had always called him that. At first, it pissed him off to no end, but now it just made him slightly possessive as if she were his.

"You would rather have my sister," Oni spoke.

Severin looked back at Oni. "It matters not, prepare for me."

Meldon took Parthenia soft and sweet. She did not fight. Severin took Oni hard and quick. She did fight, and he quickly showed just how dominant he already was.

"I'm going to cum, Parthenia. Are you ready?" She lay on the floor of the bathhouse. "Yes." She said but closed her eyes.

Meldon spilled his seed into her and kissed her cheek. "Sorry, Parthenia ."

He knew she didn't want this, but it was her duty and had all but been bred for this since their births. He slipped out of her after stealing her purity and womb and quickly left. Severin came and quickly shoved the older girl away. She fell to the floor and glared at him. He washed, walking through the water to get the sex off him, then looked over at Parthenia, who was sitting up covering herself.

"You did not fight." He stated.

"There was no need." Her voice was shy.

"Then my bother will not earn his marks." As he spoke marks showed up on his wrist, two black bands.

"He told me not to."

"Pathetic."

"Brother?"

"Stop calling me that." Then he left both women.

Tears fell from her eyes. Deep down she had hoped it would be him to take her and she knew Oni was hoping for Meldon.

"Sister?" Parthenia looked to her elder sister.

"Dry your tears and dress. Our Lords waits for us; we must return and stay within the walls of their home until they can confirm our pregnancies."

"Yes, "Parthenia stated rubbing her arm.

They left the village that night, leaving their family and friends, unknowing if they would see them again. Not knowing if they would make it through birth if they were even pregnant.

Oni knew one thing for sure; she didn't want to be a Maiden. She wanted to be an ordinary woman. She only held onto the hopes that Meldon would have been the one.

But fate didn't like either sister it seemed, and the brothers were cursed.

War was a never-ending thing.

"I fucking hate war," Meldon said slinging the blood from his blade. He liked to fight sure, but war was tiring even for a Demon, or in his situation a halfling.

"There will always be war, little brother." Severin sneered.

Meldon sighed. "Don't you think it's odd we haven't heard from father?"

Severin didn't much care right now.

"What if they didn't get pregnant?"

"Speak for yourself halfling."

"Jerk."

"Afraid that I knocked up your lover?"

Meldon stumbled back. "Wha- what?!"

Severin smirked. "Did you think I did not know?"

Meldon looked away.

"You did not gain your markings; you did not overcome Parthenia ."

"I told her not to fight it."

"Afraid little brother?"

"No, I just didn't want my markings from her!" He put his sword at his side.

"I don't want the reminder of what I did to her. She's like a little sister." He confessed.

"Yet, it is I whom she calls brother."

Meldons eyes came up to his brothers. "You get off on that, don't you?"

Severin narrowed his eyes at his brother's boldness.

"Don't even look at me like that asshole, you ain't the only one with secrets."

Severin put his sword away. "It matters not I seek only power. Pray that your lover makes it through childbirth."

"So, you don't plan on keeping her?"

"I have no want, nor need, of your human."

"Yeah, you got the witch." He shook his head. "I'd take a human over that bitch any day."

Severin had a demoness already waiting.

Meldons worry was well founded.

"Well?" Lord Yasa asked his demon wife as she came from the room. The sons of their house had been gone a week and would return soon.

"I am afraid they did not take."

"Either of them?" He asked shocked.

His demon wife bowed, her long white hair falling over her shoulder. His human wife pulled on his sleeve. "Lord Meldon gained no stripes, my Lord." His human wife had been from a wealthy family, and he had fallen in love with her. She had golden hair and green eyes, and she was always soft-spoken and kind. Her name was Laural. His demon wife had come after, as one of the four kings he had to have a full-blooded son. She was quiet and knew her place well; her name was Levina. Lord Yasa was confused. For one not to take, sure, but for both?!

"They are not barren!" He said with haste.

Inside the room, Parthenia and Oni held onto each other. "What is going to happen?"Parthenia asked.

"They may try again, or they may kill us."

Parthenia gasped "They wouldn't?"

"They may not; I am unsure of the eldest son. He will not be pleased."

"I don't understand. I didn't fight Meldon. I should be with child."

Oni smirked. "Are you sad that you are not carrying my lover's child?"

Parthenia tugged on Oni's sleeve. "You know that is not what I-"

"I purified his seed." Oni cut her off.

"What!" Parthenia whispered.

"I purified Severin's seed so that it would not take root. Your sister would rather die."

"But Oni, if he finds out."

Oni looked down at her. "Will you tell him?"

"No?"

"Do you feel them?"

Parthenia closed her eyes."They are about, a day and a half away."

"I am sure they know something is amiss. Word of rooting should have been sent three days after."

"So we wait?" Parthenia asked.

"Fear not, your older sister has a plan."

Parthenia didn't trust that. When Oni planned things, someone always ended up dead. Lord Yasa walked in."We will wait for the return of our sons." He stated.

Parthenia bowed. "As you wish, My Lord."

Oni, however, held her gaze controlled.

"Do you have something to say?"

"Only if it pleases My Lord for me to speak."

"If it will have mercy on your soul, then speak girl."

Oni cut her eyes to her sister and then back to the Lord. Then she spoke. Lord Yasa listened as Oni told him of her theory, of how Lord Meldon was not strong enough to overpower her sister's womb and how she, herself, may be infertile altogether. One thing Oni learned very early about herself, was that Demons could not tell if she was lying or telling the truth; her scent betrayed them. But that was her little secret, and it would go with her to her grave.

Lord Yasa paced just outside the palace entrance but within the walls. His sons were getting closer, and he had to decide. He paired them the way did for many reasons, but Parthenia had been in the forefront of his mind when he chose not to put her with Severin. Sure, the power mix would have been perfect and exciting, but her heart was worth more to him than her power. Parthenia was a special girl, and he was very fond of her. She loved deeply and had great compassion, which was the total opposite of his eldest son.

Severin would crush her, break her, hurt her and she didn't deserve it.

She would love him, and he would not love her back.

He would not care about their child, and he would not keep her. In fact, he feared he would want her power destroyed. He knew about Meldon and Oni and was hoping to save his youngest son from more hardship, but alas the boy was a lot like him, and he could not fault him. Yasa loved his human wife. But if he didn't take Oin's advice and do this, then his eldest son could banish them, kill them, and take their power. They would have to wait another two years and try again with another pair of Maidens. The thought of trying again crossed his mind, but he knew Severin would not go for that.

He had been planning these unions for a long time; since the girls were born, in fact. He had loved the family. Their family line was the best of the best just like his was.

"What will you do?" His demon wife approached, no doubt feeling her son gaining ground.

The wind blew. For once he was unsure, but the thought of Severin trying to kill Parthenia for her power ruled. He wondered though, would she choose death over a broken heart? She had always been fond of Severin, calling him brother, but Lord Yasa knew her eyes, could see her heart even if she didn't know it. "Separate the sisters and prepare them for breeding."

She did not question him, only bowed and turned away.

All he could do now was pray the God's would have mercy and guide Severin the best he could without seeming like he was. He stood tall, chin high as his sons came into view. With one blink they were walking inside the gates. Regal and powerful, he was proud really.

They knelt, "Father." They both said.

"Rise, my sons, you have done well."

They rose.

"Ask." He noticed Meldon's intense gaze. "Did Oni and Parthenia conceive?"

Severin's eyes were hard on his father, he could feel it. "No."

A look of relief washed over Meldon. Severin didn't seem to care, but Lord Yasa knew his son's pride was somewhat hurt.

"Oni may be barren," Their father spoke.

"But I thought we checked for that?" Meldon stated with confusion on his face.

"It is not totally foolproof, son." Lord Yasa placed a hand on Meldon's shoulder. "But you are welcome to try my son."

Meldon's eyes got wide.

"Is that not for me to say, father?" Severin cut in. "They were both barren, were they not?"

Their father glided his eyes to his eldest son. "Actually, we have decided to have another breeding, only this time you will switch."

"But, Parthenia-" Meldon started,

Lord Yasa raised his hand. "What say you eldest son?"

Severin thought about it. It would be fun to break her will, plus there was the whole having to wait another two years if he declined. Then he would have to deal with the sisters on top of that. It was annoying, to say the least.

"I will claim the younger human's womb."

"Go, they are waiting." Lord Yasa waved his hand.

He watched as his sons walked past him. He should have just let them choose each other from the beginning; it would have saved a lot of time, pain, and suffering, of that he was sure.

Meldon wasted no time in joining Oni in a dark room. Her arms were waiting for him. He would take her slow and sweet. Their mouths would meet in sweet dances, and he would pull the covers over them, hiding them from the cruel world outside that hated them.

She would love him. She would carry his seed. They met in silence and loved in silence. Severin glared at the door for a moment before entering the room. He looked around and did not see her; then his eyes slid to the curtain that was waving in the wind. She was afraid for the first time, and that pleased him.

"Come, Maiden."

Parthenia slowly came out from behind the curtain, she now stood in a sheer robe, like before. Her hair fell over her shoulder in soft waves and the moon bathed her in a slight glow. She watched as Severin unlatched his armor and let it fell with a hard clank against the stone. She kept her gaze locked on his eyes as the rest of his clothing was shed. He walked over to her and looked down at her small form.

"My pleasure or your pain?"

She swallowed. "P-p- pleasure." She spoke softly. His wicked smirk told her right away that his pleasure would be her pain. He grabbed the robe and instead of just pulling it off her, he ripped it and tossed it aside as if she needed a reminder of how strong he was. He grabbed her chin and lowered his mouth but didn't kiss her. "What, afraid now?"

She didn't say anything, but her chest was starting to heave a bit.

"What, no big brother plea this time?"

She blushed, but her eyes held defiance. He wanted her to fight.

"You told me not to call you that."

"Say it."

Slowly, fear was gripping her, she whispered. "Brother."

His lips grazed hers, and she thought he would kiss her this time, but at the last second, he bit down, piercing her mouth. Tears were instant from the contact, and she sucked in the air. He licked the blood and closed his eyes. When he opened them back up, they were red. Her back met the wall, and he was most displeased. He grabbed her arm and tossed her to the bed where she landed on her side. He stalked to her, grabbed her ankles, and yanked her down the bed.

"Severin!" She called out in fear. His eyes went back to gold.

He twisted her so that she was on her belly, then yanked her up so that she was on all fours. Then he grabbed his hardness and put it at her entrance. She was wet already, mostly from the prepping herbs, he was sure. He would not be easy with her. In fact, he would be rougher with her than he was with her sister. He slammed his hips forward and damn if it wasn't hard. She was very tight, so much so he had to still within her.

She cried out, and her body shook, he felt her power creep up.

"You still feel like a virgin Parthenia. My brother must not have a full demon cock on him."

He pulled back and then began his assault on her body. Fast and hard. She gripped the sheets tight.

"How does it feel?"

She just kept sucking in air. He slapped her ass. "Speak, woman."

"Hurts." She said between his thrusts.

"That is because I am large, and you are small." He ran a clawed hand up her back. "Get ready to scream."

"What?" She breathed. Then he did it, he ran his claws down her back, cutting her skin open as he did. Scream she did, but her power came up, and he felt her heat at their joined bodies. He stopped thrusting into her long enough to bend over and lick her back. That did earn him a moan from her, and he liked it, oddly.

He leaned back up and started to run both hands down her again. She arched up, and half turned and put a hand up, holy power coming up. "Stop marking me!" She cried out. He reached a bloody hand out and grabbed her chin. "Make me Parthenia ."

She grabbed his hand and her holy power burned. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were blood red. He growled and yanked his hand away, and then his clawed hand came back up, but instead of grabbing her chin again, he slashed her face.

She cried out in intense pain and fell back down to the bed. Her hand came up to touch her face. She could feel the blood more than she could feel his thrusting. It hurt.

His hands went to her waist. Now that she was face down he was even deeper inside her. "I am deep within you."

She closed her eyes.

He leaned back down, wrapping his arm around her as he pulled her back up. One hand fisted into her hair while another went to her womanhood. His mouth went to her neck, on the side without the bloody cheek. "I won't last much longer, your blood and body are calling to me."

She moaned.

Then his thrusting got harder. "Severin."

"What woman?"

"You're hitting my womb." It hurt like hell.

"Soon I will fill it with my cum." He rubbed her pearl and then she came. Her wall broke, she could not fight it, but as soon as it came down her power flew up. Whatever fantasy she had about this flew out the window. She cried out in anger and panic; she would fight him.

He growled at her defiance. "Submit woman; I must fill you."

If she didn't calm down, his seed would not take.

"Parthenia." He said softly in her ear.

Her power did not waver, and he was feeling the burn. "You are burning me." One hand went to her breast the other to her chin, where he pulled her to look at him. "Calm down." His trusting slowed but stayed in a now sweet rhythm. A tear fell from her face; he licked it, and then his mouth covered hers.

He raised his demonic aura, and hers drowned.

His mouth broke slightly from hers. "You're going to make me cum."

She broke again; he joined her.

She collapsed, spent and worn out. He knotted in her and hovered over her body. She heaved, and he looked at her bloody cheek. He leaned down and sniffed at it; the poison from his claws got in there. He licked the wound slowly, and she whimpered. He licked her face again, cleaning and sealing her cuts. She whimpered again, "Brother." She said in her sleep, and he slowly pulled out of her.

He looked at her flat-toned tummy and placed a hand on it. "You will conceive a son."

But it would not be his heir, nor his firstborn.

If his mate to be wanted to keep the baby, that was of her own accord, and Parthenia would be stripped of it. He knew that would kill her and as dark as he was, he did not want to take their baby from her. She didn't have to worry, Kasonna would not want their baby. She was a cold demoness with hate of all humans in all forms. Even if it were to hurt, she would not want the baby. Kasonna had never touched a human in her life.

Severin dressed and looked over Parthenia one more time before leaving her sleeping on bloody sheets.
