Sixty-Eight: Ancient Pacts

Unknown

I am sitting on a couch in a neutral location. We agreed to meet somewhere in the middle of our lands. We all knew where each other's lands were located and had been on them before. The three of us have known each otherfor 3,000 years now. I trust them to an extent. They gave me my immortality. I never thought their original plan was going to work. I was right, and I ended up saving their lives even if they lost their powers, but not theirimmortality. I decided that I needed more than just me, so even though my kind is usually solitary, I chose to set up a somewhat pack-like clan. I have my second and third in command. I was able to get them to make mysecond and thirst immortal as well. We had helped them make the Navarro family respected, and somehow we were able to get them into the pack. By that time, Dimitri was gone and dead. Well, that's what we thought. It turnsout he had been bitten by a vampire, and everyone knew that wolf and vampire DNA don’t mix. Dominick had found him, and Mykenzie and Kylani had saved him. Somehow with their blood, they made the two DNA mix, andDimitri survived and became even more powerful. We were still able to tear the pack apart. I never expected Dominick and the Alpha of the Navarro family to fight to the death. Dominick won but was mortally wounded. I sawDimitri start to call for the goddesses, but Dominick told him no and died in his arms. All was well for a few months after the pack war. That was until Mykenzie and Kylani showed up, and I swear the ground broke open, and hellcame forth. My two guys and I were just coming back from running a perimeter check when we saw them. The new Alpha was smiling at them smugly like he knew they would give and join them. What happened next willforever stay ingrained in my memory. I noticed movement not too far away to see the other two that had brought this on. As I watched, I heard them say:

“Too much power for one so one became two, but two can become one when our blood is in danger.”

The other two had walked over to the three of us as we watched Mykenzie and Kylani merge into one goddess. The new goddess looked like a mix of the two. Same height and body shape as both girls; that's where it stopped.Their hair had turned into a solid blue-green colour, and their eyes were a dark teal and glowing brightly. They had a bright red aura around them, and you could feel their immense power flowing out. That's when I say it the firesthat had been started had turned blue and green and radiated immense heat. Their wings extended, and every natural disaster that could happen did happen. The growl that they released reverberated through the ground andsounded like a fucking roaring tiger. By this time, everyone had stopped moving. The entire Navarro family was watching them. I knew that this family was finished and that we were dead if they got ahold of the five of us. Then,they literally just twitched on hand, and the entire family was on the ground withering in pain. The goddess walked over to one member and touched him, the Alpha, and he turned to ash. The rest of the family started to turn toash as well. We watched as anyone with Navarro blood in them turned to ash as was blown away by the hurricane-force wind created by the goddess.

“Let this be a warning to anyone or anything that threatens our blood. I will show no mercy and if you think this was bad, it will not compare to what I will do next time.”

Then the goddess was gone, and it was almost like nothing ever happened. The five of us got the fuck out of there. As we were leaving, we heard crying. I walked over to a small hole in a tree. I found two children. One was agirl no older than a few months the other was a boy about two. We all looked at each other and knew that they were part of the Navarro family, but how had they survived? The other two went to the children, and when theytouched them, they were jolted back.

“They are the children of our father. That's how they survived. His blood protected them. The mother must have hidden them here to protect them. I am sure she is dead.” The woman said.

We were shocked that Ares would have an affair with a member of this particular family. Unless he didn’t know who she was. That's when I notice that the boy has a particular colour of eyes that is only seen in fae. He had darkforest green eyes that faded to hazel in the middle. I took a sniff and could smell the faint scent of fae.

“He has fae blood in him as does the girl. It is faint probably because the fae was a long-ago family member. This means that Ares was unable to smell the Navarro blood.” I tell them.

The five of us took the children and left the area. We did stay around each other so we could raise the children together. Unfortunately, the children as they became aware that they were different. The boy finally disappearedone day, and we never saw him again. The girl stayed, and we were able to control her to an extent. I kept going in my thoughts until I felt someone slap my arm.

“Earth to Damian. What had you so deep in thought?” Marshall, my second in command, asks.

“Sorry just going back in time after the incident a few weeks ago,” I told him.

Yeah, we all had flashbacks when the girls merged on some of our people a few weeks ago after we attacked them. My guys and I ran once we realized what was going to happen. We got the fuck out of there. However, we didsee some of the other girls that travelled with the goddesses. I had seen Bryn and Alexis before. The three of us were the other three, and fuck they are gorgeous. I had heard of them but had never seen them. Daniylla, Jailynn,and Leah. We all looked at each other and knew we had to have those three. I stared at Daniylla. She is short at 50" with long blond hair the colour of gold with natural red highlights throughout it. The most striking feature isher eyes. They are purple, almost the colour of lilacs, only slightly paler. I have never seen eyes that colour. That's when I remember that she is the daughter of Dimitri and the Fae Queen Imyra. Most vampires have red eyes,and most fae has either blue or green. It must be the mixing of red and blue eyes. Fuck she is gorgeous, and I must have her. I took a sniff to see if I could catch her scent, and I saw red. I couldn't scent her, but I caught thescent of the Gamma Nate on her. Fuck he was her mate. Well, for now anyway. I looked at Marshall, and he was fixed on Jailynn. She was also beautiful at 5'7" with the palest brown hair I have ever seen that reached themiddle of her back. She has the most interesting eyes. They are brown; however, they have a shimmer to them, almost like they shine, and they can fade from a dark brown to a light brown. I have seen those eyes before.That's when it hit me fuck she is the daughter of Athena. These girls just keep getting more interesting. I could not catch her natural scent, but she had a scent of a wolf on her as well. He wasn't a ranking member but still awolf. I looked at my third in command, lan. He was fixed on Leah. She was taller than the rest at 5'9" with long, pale, almost silvery blonde hair and blue eyes the colour of forget-me-nots. She did not carry anyone's scent onher yet. I knew that these three would be ours somehow.

“So what are we gonna do to get these women?” I asked.

“I don’t know. I thought those boys would be helpful but Zane is too focused on revenge for his damn father.” She says.

“What if we used the boys as bait to lure out the girls? I am sure they and the pack are itching to get their hands on the ones that keep attacking them.” lan says.

We all stop and look at each other. That is a fantastic idea. The boys are enemy number one of the pack and the girls right now, which means they will not be expecting the rest of us. Well, the girls don’t know that the three ofus exist. We all look at each other and smile. We know we have our plan.

I have been keeping an eye on everyone in the pack for two weeks now. I have learned that the guys aren't that organized with their plans. The new Alpha wants revenge for his father’s death. The other two are just along forthe ride. They had all grown up together, but they were basically pawns for Penthesilea and Phlegyas's plans. I was currently listening in on a meeting between three werebears that I don’t know and Penthesilea and Phlegyas. Icouldn't believe that Penthesilea and Phlegyas would turn on the boys like this. I listened as they talked about Daniylla, Jailynn, and Leah and how the werebears want them as their mates to create a strong clan of their own.Obvious that Penthesilea and Phlegyas still want Mykenzie and Kylani to take power away from the gods. If they only knew that Mykenzie and Kylani give zero fucks about even being goddesses. They hate having to go tofamily meetings. They prefer to be down here with the human and supernatural world. I decide to leave as I can tell this meeting is coming to an end. I have recorded the entire meeting. Penthesilea and Phlegyas have admittedto basically casting a spell over the old Alpha and manipulating the boys. Also, to not be related to the new Alpha and that his younger brother is just some orphan that was found. I actually feel sorry for the Crimson Tide Pack.They have been deceived and lied to for years now by Penthesilea and Phlegyas. I have also been researching the Crimson Tide Pack and found that they were a small pack with big visions that Penthesilea and Phlegyas tookadvantage of. The old Alpha had just lost his mate in childbirth, and when Penthesilea and Phlegyas showed up and placed a spell so he would fall in love with Penthesilea. These two are fucking evil and whoever saved themoriginally was stupid. I decide to pay a visit to the Crimson Tide Pack and break the news of the lies that Penthesilea and Phlegyas have been spewing for years to them. I return to the old packhouse, and all three boys arethere. They seem to be angry about something. I decide to make myself known to them without them actually seeing me.

“Hello boys, I think there is something you should know about the woman you trust and you, Zane calls mother,” I say.

"Who are you and why can't we see you?” Zak the Betta asks.

I mildly explain who I am and they are not impressed. I tell them to listen to what I have to say, and when I am done, I play the recording of the meeting that I was just at. I watch as their faces fall and when they realize thateverything they have ever known is a complete lie. They know they need to leave this land and get away from Penthesilea, Phlegyas, and all the others who are here and loyal to them. I tell them where they can go and that Iam going to help them out. Now I just have to convince everyone to hear me out. I don’t think I will have a problem. I plan to go to Chris and Dimitri first, tell them everything I know, and let them listen to the recording. Then I willhave them meet these three. I know if I can get Chris and Dimitri on my side about these three, then we can also convince the others. Mykenzie and Kylani will be the hardest to convince, but that's where Chris comes in byreading the minds of these three to see how much bullshit Penthesilea and Phlegyas fed them. I can't wait till Penthesilea and Phlegyas return to replace their pawns gone. I get the three to the safe place and now to have a chatwith Chris and Dimitri.
