I feel powerful and like nothing phases me whatsoever. I've never felt anything like it before in my life. I'm completely untouchable. Everyone underestimates me all of the time. It's time I start taking control of my life and showing everyone what I'm capable of. No one respects me and it's time I start demanding respect. I'm the goddess of ice, I'm entitled to it. However, what's a goddess without her dragons? The time has come to become what I was born to be and I know exactly where to start.

Lodis pov

"When should these dragon eggs hatch?"

"Soon," Rita responds as she lights all of the candles surrounding the dragons. As I was about to speak a loud thud is heard on top of the roof. "What was that?," I furrow my brows scanning around. "G-"

The sound of the wind whistles loudly as the door tumbles down to the ground catching Rita and I by surprise. It's none other than the goddess of ice coming into view. "Look who finally decided to show up," I smirk taking a seat on the chair in front of the dining table.

"I'm here for my dragons," she firmly says with such authority. Something is different here. It's Alyja, but at the same time it isn't really her.

Odd.

"Finder keepers," I raise a brow warily keeping my eyes on her. Rita stays behind me making sure to stay away from the goddess for some reason. Either way, our plan is as accordingly.

Alyja smirks almost in a sardonically way as her silvery-blue eyes twinkle as she stares at me. "Someone has a death wish," she sternly says stepping inside the premises. This is unlike the she-wolf I met. What happened during this time she went missing?

"Rita, get us some drinks for this lovely reunion," I order. Rita does what I say instantly.

"If I were you, I would start cooperating before I break those legs of yours. You know this time making sure you're actually disabled," Alyja blankly utters placing her hands on the dining table. I must admit I'm a bit taken back by her remark. This plan better go successfully.

Rita places three glasses of her herb tea on the table. "No need for threats. Let's talk like civilized she-wolfs that we are," Rita nervously says as she backs away once again staying close behind me.

"Have a drink goddess"

Alyja stares at Rita and I with a murderous look. My foot starts to shake as I glance towards the door every now and then.

"Enough with the bullshit... I'm here for what's mine and you two will pay for crossing me," Alyja grits her teeth placing her index finger on an area where I spilled water earlier before she showed up. As soon as she touches it pure ice forms heading straight towards the three glasses freezing them instantly then shattering them into pieces within seconds.

Alyja immediately flips the table over in the process as her arms turn into pure ice an electric force sparkling. My eyes widen knowing I have no chance against her being just a simple she-wolf. She'll kill me within seconds. I stand up from the chair getting behind Rita who starts speaking in another language as black fog starts to form around her.

Rita throws black circular forces directly at Alyja whom dodges them like an expert. Alyja starts firing icicles towards us which immediately strikes my leg causing me to fall down on the ground wincing in pain. "Bitch!"

Everything is so chaotic right now. Alyja and Rita are going at it with one another as I crawl behind the counter barricading myself from getting striked again. However, what I feared the most, happens. Rita is thrown against the wall harshly getting knocked out cold. As Rita hits the wall the doors to the closet burst open due to the vibration of the hit. Now, in full view are the dragon eggs.

"NO!"

Ignoring the pain from my wounded leg. I stand up facing the goddess of ice. Her eyes are glued to her dragons hardly noticing me. She goes to proceed further towards the dragons, but before she could reach them fully. She comes to a halt tilting her head to see a needle pinned into her back. At the same time Alyja and I lock eyes with Azure whom stands at the door entrance holding a gun.

Alyja growls her silvery-blue eyes starting to shift into an icy color along with a pure white outline on her irises that is starting to form. However, the drug gets to her before she could retaliate against Azure. I watch as her eyes rolls back falling down helplessly to the ground.

Finally, the goddess of ice is taken down.

"What took you so damn long?!," I grumble limping towards an unconscious Alyja.

"We weren't exactly aware of what day she would show up. I do have a life," he responds.

"Even with your brother cursed... you still can't step up and act like an alpha," I scoff.

"I was never in the running either way mother," Azure grunts.

"Shut it!"

"It's true, that's why you murdered Luka's father due to him finding out the truth about me," Azure brushes his long platinum hair back to grab Alyja.

"Shut your mouth and chain her up now!"

Octavia pov

"I think is best to call the goddess of fire. Only she can go against another goddess"

"She's heavily pregnant Octavia," Luka blankly responds.

"About that she actually gave birth three days ago," I murmur nervously.

"What?! Does Alyja know? No wonder the moon and stars flashed brightly that night"

"Yup, that night was the night the world's first alpha god was born and to answer your question She has no clue, I didn't tell her"

"Why?," Luka creases his brows confusedly.

"She's a danger to everyone right now"

"Because of her inner goddess not being tamed," alpha Luka whispers to himself.

"Indeed," I breathe. After what I saw today I hope we're still in time to get to Alyja before she completely loses against her inner goddess.

"Did you at least notify Athena about her sister?"

"Adamaris took care of that, Athena is fully aware"

"Good, once I get the chance I have to congratulate alpha Lysias on his newborn," Luka replies.

"Alpha Luka I've been meaning to talk to you about goddess Alyja. I usually never like to butt in into business that doesn't involve me, but Alyja means a lot to me. If she gets hurt, I don't know if I would be able to stand for that," I say in just one breathe.

Luka looks at me unsure of what I'm even talking about, "what's on your mind?"

"That sweet girl loves you so much alpha. I know you do too, I can see it in your eyes every time you look at her. You may fool everyone else with your act, but not me. Please stop pushing her away. You're deserving of love alpha"

Luka stays silent absorbing my words before he replies, "I would be with her within an instant if I could, but she'll only be in danger with me. At first I used to fear my mother hurting her, but truth is it was never my mother being the big threat. I'm the threat. When I shift into that... beast, I lose myself."

"Mates are the cure to a lot of things"

"I know marking her would reverse the curse, but I'm afraid that she won't make it through. I'm sure you know about the risks. I don't want to risk it, she means everything to me," Luka huffs.

"She's strong, but it's not my position to push you to do something you don't want to. All I'm saying is that the same way she'll do you good. You'll do her good as well. You see, the mark does more for her as it does to you," I utter stepping on some small rocks.

"What do you mean by that?," Luka raises his brow.

"You're the only one that can tame her. By marking her, Alyja has a reason to fight harder. You see the marking between mates is a powerful sacred force between the two. Why do you think you become stronger and improve significantly in many areas by just simply marking your mate?"

Luka stays in thought trying to understand what I am saying to him. Suddenly, he comes to a halt once he gets the clue I have been trying to make clear to him.

"The mark will not only reverse the curse for me, but it will also make Alyja stronger," alpha Luka murmurs, "strong enough to fully take control of her inner goddess."
