Chapter 141: Unwelcome
***Author’s note: Amber_Brumbaugh for your golden ticket’s and time reading my Novel, this Chapter is for you***
~THIRD PERSON POV~
Odette had so many things to be excited for: school, work, training, Christmas, friends, and even a mate.
She was going to convince Ambrose to let her contact her family. Their bond was complete now; she had accepted him.
’No.’ She thought, ’I am a goddess. I can do as I want. And I want to talk to my family and let them know I’m okay and that I don’t have Stockholm syndrome alone, that he’s my mate and I want to confront them on their lives and secrets. As break up with my fiancé.’
She longed to talk to her family.
When Odette arrived back to the room she noticed Phera was gone.
Odette felt panic at first but found a stone sitting on her nightstand. She recognized it, it was the kind that recorded moments, a magic camera but it only replays once.
"Someone who shouldn’t be on my mountain in my realm is on my mountain, I will be back, I have a floor to mop with a son of bitch.
"Odette was stunned. Phera sounded petty and her words dripped with a menacing intent. It gave Odette chills; she’d hate to be in that person’s shoes. Phera was one scary fox.
And Phera who was napping peacefully on her pillow felt a presence enter her space.
An all too annoyingly familiar presence.
’He really dared to enter my domain, knowing I’d kill him if he did. That stupid man.’
Phera took on her spirit form and leapt from the window on the second floor and escaped out the back. She made the snow fall harder to help cover her tracks and camouflage her in her true form.
The snow was falling harder now, but that only made it easier for her run faster and hide in plain sight. Phera ran to her mountains portal and launched herself through it. Landing in her lush green forest, magic glittered in the air.
Standing in front of Phera was a black and gold snake with a humanoid upper boy. Well defined arms and a chest that sported neither pecs or breasts. Its hair was long, and it had golden horns protruding out of its skull. It eyes glowed red with blood and ancient wisdom. Gold was etched into its scales. Its chest had sales that roamed its sides and shoulders. It was as haunting as it was beautiful.
Phera growled showing her long fangs, her tails had fire dancing on the tips. She wasn’t going to tolerate him intruding. Not after what he did. The games he played with her. Now she is wiser, smarter, stronger, she couldn’t defeat him, but she could fuck him up pretty bad especially with him being weakened by being on her land.
"Leviathan, What do you think you are doing in my domain? You know damn well you are not welcome on my mountain and in my forest. Get out, this is your first, final, and only warning." Phera snarled teeth barred, posing for an attack.
"I have a good and valid reason to be here. Here me out." The Leviathan had deep intimidating voice.
"I don’t care what reason you have; you aren’t welcome." She repeated, but with less aggression.
"I know and I will leave after you hear me out." He answered "But not a moment before."
Phera growled but agreed.
The Leviathan moved shedding his snake like skin off, revealing a beautiful eastern man with long black hair that shimmered effortlessly and the red eyes that no lingered glowed.
Phera snarled but did the same. She shook her fur fell off and her bones shifted, her tails stopped burning and lengthened. She looked graceful and elegant with her long white hair and big blue eyes.
"You really took his face? Are you kidding me?" Phera yelled "Why?"
And before he could answer she moved quickly toward him a claw extended poking under his chin.
"Lilith?" Phera growled.
The Leviathan nodded. "Yes."
"Wow, you are pathetic, the only way you could have her was stealing the face of the only man she ever truly loved." She rolled her eyes and scoffed.
"I didn’t steal his face; I added a bit of me in it with the eyes and nose. Regardless this isn’t about Lilith, or us." He tried changing the subject.
"You came to me, and you’re wearing the face of the DarkChild and your fucking his wife." She snipped.
"Yes, yes, now that we got that over with, you need help, and you know it." He claimed.
"I don’t need your help; I need you to leave and never show yourself or that face to me ever again." She bit at him.
"You have the MoonChild, and I know who the DarkChild is, I know where he’s going. I’ll say it again, you need me, just as much as I need you." The Leviathan looked proud of himself.
Their relationship has been rocky since the Siren’s left this mortal world for the spirit realm. The New Terra.
The two dated for a long time, but the Leviathan would constantly get caught cheating, and even though flesh was the cost for knowledge and that was his role in the mortal world. She couldn’t handle their role or his obsession with Lilith. One thing the Judaists got wrong, it wasn’t the tree of knowledge, it was the snake. They weren’t far off. Adam kicked Eve out of Eden because Eve slept with the Leviathan for knowledge. She didn’t bite the apple, but she had a taste of the snake.
Their breakup was very ugly and very petty on both sides. And immortals, tend to hold grudges and mature slowly.
"How did you know I have the MoonChild?" Phera was more weary and alert now, than she was before.
"Ah... ah... ah... We know my answers come at a price. We can make a deal, you help me, I help you. And I will answer that question." He grinned.
"I don’t trust you, but I know you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t as real as you’re saying. Especially with that face. Does she know your true form?" Phera raised her eyebrow, testing the water with him.
"No, she has not. But she trades flesh for no answers, and I have the girl I’ve always chased now. She knows this face is not my true face. I might have to change it a little more to make it a little less like Ezelreth’s." He contemplated.
"I take the deal. Tell me what you know. And I’ll share what I know." Phera wanted to get this over with. She felt even more sour knowing he was happy and loyal with Lilith, but never with her.
"I am with her father King Asher. His daughter was kidnapped by the shifters king. His daughter is the MoonChild." The Leviathan hadn’t stopped looking deeply into Phera’s eyes, making her a little uncomfortable.
"Is the King related to Lilith?" Phera was confused.
"Yes, he’s her grandson. The MoonChild is her descendant." He answered.
"Again? History is truly repeating itself." Phera was nearly whispering, feeling burdened by the information she was taking in.
"I also possess the first shifter; they are training together and with another witch for her magic and a wolf shifter on species and history." She held back the part about them being mates for the juicy detail she knew he was hiding.
"I see, that’s even better news." He was pleased.
"Who’s the DarkChild?" She asked him.
"I hope your last bit is as ironic as this one. The DarkChild is possessing Her mother Queen Violet, and she’s ran off making an army of beasts and then disappearing entirely."
"Are you serious? Shoot, that’s pretty messed up fate. But she has her reasons." Phera mumbled the last bit.
"What’s you tradable, that was my last one." The Leviathan told her.
"In this life she made the first shifter and the MoonChild Fated mates. And she has accepted him, very willingly." She smiled, a sweet heartfelt smile.
"They love each other, and he treats her well. Let her father know she is okay." Phera said it in a way that sounded more like a threat.
"I will. I’ll be in touch." He turned to walk away.
"Don’t expect that to be a one way door."
