Prologue
The Demigod of War
––––––––
The green-eyed humangirl fought like a fiend against a large, vicious gang.
Her ferocity was the most stunning thing I’d ever seen.
But I didn’t come for her. We came for the two supernaturals on her team. Rogues weren’t allowed to roam the demigods’ territory unchecked. They either joined the Academy or were put down.
Wrap it up,I ordered Cameron, the lieutenant of the Dominion of Gods, with a gesture. These soldiers had survived the Trial of the Blood Runes because they had gods’ blood in their veins.
The fight in the street ceased abruptly as Cameron’s men marched into the battlefield, gunning for their targets. The other combatants stepped back, fear for the Dominion soldiers sinking in their eyes—all except for the human girl.
She stepped in front of a teenage wolf shifter and an underage witch, blocking Cameron and his soldiers.
“Marigold, they’re the Dominions. We can’t fight them off,” the shifter whispered, trying to pull her back to protect her, but she shrugged him off.
“Like Hell I’ll let them take you!” she said, her hands twitching, ready for violence.
She was still running on adrenaline. I smelled her dark fear, though it was no match for her fury.
Cameron’s jaw clenched. He hadn’t met a civilian who dared resist an arrest or recruitment. And no one cursed in front of a Dominion soldier without suffering the consequences.
The lieutenant and his men were more than zealous to impress me, as a demigod rarely accompanied them on an enlistment mission.
“I don’t give a fuck how pretty you are, chick,” Cameron snorted. “Get the fuck out of my way, or—”
The girl attacked.
She planted a boot into Cameron’s chest and kicked hard. At the same time, she nocked five arrows, letting them fly in blurry succession.
Her every aim hit true, but she was up against the well-trained Dominion warriors in armor that no human weapon could penetrate.
Our forces surrounded her. The girl yelled for the shifter and witch to run, but instead they pressed their backs against hers, ready to fight to the death with her.
I chuckled.
“Fun’s over, little minx,” I said, peeling myself from the shade and stepping into the battlefield before my soldiers terminated the trio.
My demigod power coiled, ripping the fabric of the air.
Every knee—the soldiers’, the civilians’, and the gang members’—dropped to a battlefield strewn with shells of bullets, bits of concrete, animal fur, and blood.
Yet one pair of knees refused to go down.
A flick of surprise flashed through my eyes. That was a first.
The girl braced her feet apart and glared at me, the fire of fury burning in her eyes, their color so vivid it was greener than any forest in any universe I’d passed.
A flame lashed out like invisible lightning, striking the icy, steel walls that encased my careless, ruthless demigod heart.
Instantly, my cock hardened.
What the fuck?
The beast roared in me, awakening, as did my primal need.
