Chapter 102
Once the burning stopped I straightened up. “She told me a tale in her fractured mental state. For all, I know it was a tale she heard. I looked through any record I could find and found that there was no child found alive or dead when she said it happened.” When the scar didn’t activate they all nodded.
“I can tell you it’s no tale. What she said is true. She bore a child and threw it away. And do you know why?” An angry female voice sounds from somewhere in the room. Looking around I can’t see where the other voice is coming from. My father and Johnny are looking around just as confused.
“Don’t bother you won’t see her. She’s left outside the bubble. Oddly not by choice. Timber dear comes closer to the table won’t you.” The surfer guy says waving a hand for me to take my seat again. Annoyed I do. The girl who was nursing fern walked through a wall and stood behind Hades. She shares similar features with Michaela, but very different as well.
“You!” I point at her taking a step forward. “what did you do to fern?” she smirks “me? Not what did she do?” she coldly says slowly walking around the table towards me. She then passes me grabbing the handle of the door and opening it. “I think the better question is what did she do to me?” as she lets the door fall close again. Confused I take a few steps back to the door grabbing for the handle but again my hand goes right through. “oh here let me get that for you.” She pulls the door open smirking. “go ahead princess it will only hurt a lot.” Alpha snow chuckles as he sets a pot of coffee on the table. Beta Vladimir comes back with the small girl, Rav I think Hades called her, on his back like a tiny monkey. She glares at me as they come in. He’s holding a plate of fresh cinnybonnies. How did they get freshly baked cinnybonnies?
“You look, confused cousin. What are you trying to figure out? The door? Timber? Or the fresh cinnybonnies?” Hades raises his brow as he pours a cup of coffee for himself then another “sugar, cream?” shaking my head he smiles “well guess that’s a family trait then.” He pours another and pushed it to the seat across from him.
“let's start again, shall we? Timber dear would you tell my mother all is good.” “yes alpha, good luck girly.” She sings and bounces out the door. Staring at the door confused. “magic does not affect timber. Do you know why?” the surfer dude asks looking at me like he’s trying to see my soul. Heat begins to rush all over me almost like it did that night at the club. My eyes widen as they shoot to alpha snow. He did something to me. Glaring he raises his hands. “don’t even go there I didn’t give you anything.”
“Daughter of the soulless please sit and we can start this summit.” The surfer guy sings. The room breaks out in laughs at our confusion. Tilting his head to the side studying me. “no one told you? Did you not have Loki for a long while?” my eyes shot to him at the mention of Loki. “where is he?” I know I shouldn’t care. I have strong feelings toward him at this point. I know it’s about the memories but I’m trying hard not to think about them.
“he is safe if that’s what you're worried about. I would say is in the safes place considering king Enoy would like to get her hands on him again.” “I want my people back.” “We don’t have any of your people cousin. Loki by blood is mine. Fern by blood is Timber's, we both have claimed them. With Loki lost and locked in a painting it’s only fair he’s with family. As for Fern, I believe her daughter has a few things she would like to talk to her about.” Hades sips his coffee like he’s got all the time in the world.
“king Enoy?” “one topic at a time.” Sighing I cross back to the table taking my seat. The faster we do this the faster we can go home and figure a way to get fern and Loki back. “you can’t get them back.” The surfer guy sings as he scoops up a handful of pastries. “old man saves some for the rest of us.” Hades chuckles. Slapping the table annoyed “first who is he and second why do you call him the old man he looks younger than you?” the room breaks out in laughter leaving us even more confused. “oh dear child has no one told you looks can be deceiving?” as a fog envelope him leaving in his place a red-skinned thing with black shinning horns and black markings all over his body. “I am much older than I look.” Jumping back knocking the chair over trying to get away from the oh hell I don’t know what he is.
“Old man that was both hella funny and uncalled for. Princess here let me” slapping his hand away getting a room full of growls as I seethe “don’t touch me.” Holding his hands up laughing then waving a hand at the now standing room.
“Guys chill. We would all react the same I’d we were in her shoes. Now princess..” “stop calling me that.” Nodding his head “what would you like me to call you?” “call her alpha Athena .” my father growls. All eyes snap to him and he starts gasping to breathe. “stop. Please stop. You said no weapons.” “And I brought none. Your sire is fighting to submit once he does he will breathe right again.” The girl almost sings as she walks over to my father watching him. “he's stronger than the others in the pack my fire. Too bad he’s off limits.” Sniffing the air around him she moans “he smells like cotton candy.” Licking her lips beta Vladimir makes a noise and she huffs and skips back to him. I swear she’s pouring.
“Okay, shall we start now if think all or well most of the surprises are out? I would apologize for this.” He holds his hand out indicating the whole turn of events. “I wanted to see how much your grandfather and Loki told you. Looks like not much. So let’s start from the beginning, shall we? First Ambrose is older than dirt. He’s the future overseer of the demon realm and my baby sister's mate. Tulok and Vlad are twins from my mother’s beta and the last of the children of the cold. Protectors of those who can’t. Vlad is a huge black and white wolf while his brother Tulok snow is born alpha of the snowpack. He is a polar bear. He is cold and honest no one can lie to him. Ravenana was born my gamma but mated to my beta. As in m sure you have noticed she’s a bit different than we’ll Vlad. She’s a shadow demon/wolf hybrid.” Smirking as the words sink in I look at him as his eyes start to glow red.
