Chapter Thirty One

Amira POV I stare down at the note, a storm of emotions swirling within me. The Delta. Someone Ihadn't even heard of until a few days ago. The mythical nemesis of the Moon Goddess. I lookaround at all of the death, and have to force myself to stay professional. “Who are they?” “Lowerranking pack members. Mainly Omega’s,” Christian informs. “Families?” I question. “None.” I nod,before looking carefully at each face out of he dozen.

The Delta took the life of every single person here, unrepentantly. Which means he lacks the innermorality to care about others-all he cares about is his goal. But what is that goal?

He clearly stated that he needs me to be able to accomplish something. But what is it that he needsto accomplish?

“Baby, are you alright?" Erebus asks behind me.

I blink black tears, fighting the knowledge that a dozen people were killed over me. And The Deltawon't have a problem killing dozens more.

Unable to look at their faces, and not wanting anyone to have to clean up this gory scene, I set thebody's and the message on fire with a small swish of my wrist.

The Moon Goddess (Selene) POV He's back. He's truly and genuinely back.

I knew it would happen eventually, but there was no warnings that it would happen so unbearablysoon. However, The Delta is back-and he wants what he's always wanted.

Me. Before humans walked the earth, there were only Gods and Deity's. We resided both on earth. Itcould almost be said that we were once like the humans, but with special gifts and powers. But,when humanity emerged, we all moved to respective heavens. Most Greek gods came together tocreate Mount

rule together. Christian angels and the Christian god moved to heaven itself- a kingdom in the sky.I, however, broke off with my betrothed-Delta. I was barren, and our child would mark thebeginning of a new species. A mixture between human and the most majestic animal. Creatures withjust enough magic within them to make them exceptional, but not enough magic to make themgod-like. Creatures that could choose what form they walked in.

I was beyond ecstatic with the pregnancy, and the fact that I would be mother of a species. I wantedto succeed.

I wanted my children to be successful. But Delta only wanted me. With time, he grew frustrated atmy lack of attention towards him. He wanted me to himself.

He explained this to me on numerous occasions, however I had managed to make him see reasonInstilled excitement in him that he would be the father of a beautiful species. And he seemed opento reason.

Or so I had naively thought. I had ignored all of the warning signs. Overlooked everything thatshould have worried me. Thus, it took me by complete surprise when he drew a blade deep into mywomb one night as I slept. He attempted to abort the child. Our child. Because I wasn't giving himas much attention as he longed for. . properly wield. The consequence was a natures curse.

A curse that my species would not be united. That, like humans, it will divide. War. Have conflict.Blinded with rage, I had locked Delta away in the deepest and darkest part of my moon kingdomwhile I began raising a child. I, again, used dangerous magic to replicate the first child, just in aseparate gender.

I nursed a species into prosperity. Eventually, I had to send my Werewolves to the earth. There wastoo much conflict amongst them for them to continue living in the moon kingdom.

And, as time went on, I eventually stopped thinking about Delta.

Yet the bastard somehow managed to get set free. However, once you leave the moon kingdom,only I can let you back in.

That is, unless, you're a white wolf. A white wolf has a direct link to me. They are able to enter andexit the moon kingdom at will. They can also bring people in and out. The Delta wants back in. Hewants revenge. And he’s going to try to use Amira to get to me.

In the past, when I've faced difficulties, I turn to my fellow gods on Olympus for help. But I don'twant to burden them with this.

I'm having to face the consequences of an action, even though it's an action I carried out over athousand years ago. I have nobody to blame but myself.

had every intention of going to earth to get rid of Delta once and for all, but I'm not strong enoughto defeat him when on earth. However he’s drawing strength from rogue wolves, in return givingthem false promises of world domination. So he’s stronger then me on earth. But in the heavens?We're equals.

Just like we once were in life. The Delta POV

I retract my hand from the chest of a rogue wolf who's been allowing me to feed on his essence.Since the rogues freed me because of the compulsion I managed to put them under, I havecontinued compelling them into helping me in every way I want.

One of them being allowing me to take parts of their essence, or souls, in order to help strengthenmy powers while on earth.

A knock suddenly sounds on the door of my bedroom, and I swiftly go to open it. “Did Amirareceive my gift?” I ask, once her fourth mate-a rogue Alpha named Jeremy-walks in.

I had to put extra effort into his compulsion, since his initial reaction to his mate was to cuddle herand give her all the love he possibly can. But I managed to set him straight, and make him relativelyevil.

“She did indeed. And her reaction was rather priceless,” Jeremy says. I give him a satisfied smirk. “Goon,” I invite.

“She set all of the corpses and your message on fire, before breaking down and starting to set others**t on fire, too. Eventually her other mates got a hold of her and dragged her into the house, prettymuch kicking and screaming. I think we're close to breaking her.”
