Today is the day I'm going to give myself completely to Luka. The day, I'm going to be marked by him. The day, I'm going to cure him. Despite of some of my worries about the risk behind the marking. I'm mostly nervous about the mating between the two of us. I'm so inexperienced in this department. While, Luka has had his fair share of experiences with other she-wolves. I can only hope to not disappoint him.

I get out of the shower making sure everything is shaved for later today. The last thing, I want is to embarrass myself with unnecessary hair. Now that would be so embarrassing. I would call Athena for some advice, but at the same time that is awkward and a bit uncomfortable to talk about this type of topic with my older sister. Plus, I'm sure she's busy with Legion anyways.

After I throw some clothes on. I walk into the kitchen wanting some cold lemonade for my thirst when I come into contact with a certain she-wolf. I'm not so fond of.

"Temptation," I mutter under my breathe crossing my arms across my chest.

"Alyja," she murmurs. "Before you decide to go super saiyan on me. Let me just say, I'm here to help not cause any drama."

"Help? You? I'm no fool," I grumble not believing for the slightest that she's here for good intentions.

"As hard as it is to believe it's true. Your dragons are under great danger. Lodis is desperate," Temptation explains.

"I'm aware of that already and I'm already working on it"

"No, you don't understand. She's going to make them hatch tonight"

"What?! It's too early!," I utter out loud completely baffled by the reveal of this new information I was not aware of at all. "We must leave and get those dragons before Lodis has her way with them," Temptation gets up from the chair walking straight to the door. Not knowing what else to do out of desperation, I follow behind her without any second thought to it.

If only I knew then what was to come. I would of never stepped out of that door.

Temptation and I finally arrive at some abandoned building pretty far deep within the snowy woods. Everything about being here causes red flags for me, but I don't think twice about proceeding wanting to get to my dragons.

Temptation leads the way as she breaks thick chains around the door handles within just a pull. Once she opens the door, we both step inside the dark tunnel. For some reason, this place reminds me of that one dream I had when I was unconscious while being held captive. A dark tunnel and at the end of it a small bright light shining brightly.

As Temptation and I walk, whispers are heard echoing through the entire tunnel. I can't make sense of what is being said due to it being in another language. Half way through the tunnel, wind gusts strikes us making Temptation's jet black long hair and my medium brownish hair blow uncontrollably. Being unable to see due to my hair flying all over the place. I lose sight of Temptation.

"Where are you?," I say out loud finally getting my hair under control glancing all over the place for her, but she's nowhere to be found. However, an evil chuckle starts echoing in the tunnel catching my attention.

Lodis stands in front of me, a good distance from me from where Temptation and I entered in. I gasp, at the sight of her noticing a long infected scratch across her face. This scratch isn't a normal one caused by someone like myself. This scratch is by a claw.

A claw belonging to only a lycan.

"Don't be too shocked to see me. This shall all be over soon," she mischievously smirks.

I decide to shift into my wolf form to get out of this place that Temptation clearly set me up in. I should of known better than to believe a thing coming from her. Joke is on me.

However, before I could fully shift. A feel of some type of powerful force slams me across the wall holding me still. I try to move, but I remain up in the air pinned against the wall. Almost as if someone is holding me with their entire body weight against the wall. "You're so gullible. Oh well," Lodis raises her brow crossing her arms across her chest. Rita comes into view from behind her holding her hands up directly towards my direction.

Of course.

"I'm going to destroy you two!," I growl feeling myself shift not into my wolf form, but my inner goddess. The amount of anger I'm feeling right now is too overbearing for me to comprehend. All I know is that I want to demolish these two evil she-wolves. All they do is cause harm and hurt innocent souls.

This is exactly what my duty is about as the goddess of ice. To take down these demonic souls in the world.

Lodis pov

I knew getting Temptation on my side would be the best to do in order to get my hands on the goddess of ice. Last time, I had her. The beast of my son had to come and screw things up. Truthfully, I'm surprised he would do such a thing. According to my understanding, when cursed wolfs shift into lycans. They're supposed to lose all control and senses of themselves entirely. The beast taking complete control.

Beasts are meant to destroy and rip apart everything and everyone that they come across. Just as I feared before, Alyja is having a strong influence on Luka including his beast. The power of the mate bond. How disgusting.

Rita and I barely made it out alive. If it wasn't for black magic. We would surely be dead right now like Azure. Of course that son of mine had to lose his life. No matter what I did he always remained weak. Due to his failure at surviving. Now it's up to Rita to complete this ritual on her own which is more than enough.

"Hurry! She's shifting!," I hastily say to Rita noticing Alyja is about to fully shift in front of our eyes.

Alyja's silvery-blue eyes shift into a complete white-frost color covering her entire eyeball. Along with this shift her skin, eyebrows, and lashes develop frost. Fear takes over my self as she stares at me with such a demonic glare. This is the ice goddess in her truest form coming about.

"Rita!," I grit my teeth. If this doesn't stop as soon as possible. We're both good as dead.

Rita says a spell that at first struggles against Alyja. I watch in fright as the goddess of ice starts removing herself from being pinned against the wall staring at me directly. However, suddenly her eyelids shut as she falls down to the ground unconsciously.

"We must do the ritual quickly. She's shifting into her truest form. If we don't do this on time. You won't be able to obtain her powers," Rita informs me as she starts pulling Alyja by her feet dragging her inside the room where all of the preparations are set for the ritual.

It's time to become the goddess of ice and rule the world just like goddess Delilah once did.

Athena's pov

After rocking my son for awhile, he's finally sound asleep. It's been a long day today with being a mother and doing my goddess duties. However, no matter how much I try to brush it away. I can't stop thinking about Alyja. She hasn't came to visit. This is so unlike her. I can't help, but feel worried even after Adamaris reassured me that everything is fine.

These past days I've been feeling weird sensations and I have no idea what it could be.

"How's Legion?," my favorite voice lowly murmurs as he enters the room. I turn around feeling my heart melt at the sight of my mate. Life has been so good besides him. I've never been so happy in my life like I am right now.
My life changed tremendously for the better.

"He's asleep, so keep it down," I respond placing a soft kiss on Lysias's cheek. We both walk out of the room leaving the door a bit opened to hear our cub incase he wakes up.

"Where you go earlier? From what I'm aware of an alpha union isn't scheduled this early in the month," I say pouring some water into a pot to boil some tea for my mate.

"Had to train some she-wolf," he blankly says looking elsewhere besides me. I crease my brows suspiciously. One thing, I've learned by being with my mate is his expressions when he lies or is keeping something away from me.

"She-wolf? Should I be worried?," I raise a dark brow at him.

"Of course not"

"Who's this she-wolf?"

"No point in lying to you. By the glare you're giving me is enough to know that you're on to me," Lysias sighs.

"Spill," I say crossing my arms across my chest.

"I was called by Octavia to train Alyja"

"What?!," I breathe.

"She's been having trouble controlling her inner goddess, so she's currently in training," he explains.

"I could of been the one to train her. Why hasn't anyone mentioned this to me?," I grunt.

"First of all, calm down babe. This isn't something to make a big deal of. They just didn't want you worrying. You were pregnant Athena."

"You're suppose to be my partner. You can't keep this kind of shit away from me. She's my sister I deserve to know," I grumble unhappily.

"I barely found out last night. Alyja has been blacking out. Her inner goddess is taking over her entirely. She almost hurt her own mate and Octavia. Everyone is fearing a Delilah 2.0," Lysias says walking up towards me. He places his thump against my cheek. I lean against his palm feeling our sparks that instantly calms me down.

"We definitely don't want that," I breathe worriedly. "I need you to stay with Legion tomorrow. I'm going to go see my sister," I inform Lysias. My sister needs me and I'm her older sister it's only right to go see her in her time of need.

Goddess to Goddess.

Before Lysias could respond, a doorbell is heard. "Are we suppose to have any guest over today?," I ask him unsure of who it could be at the door. "No, I'll go see who it is," he says walking away from me. I follow behind him wanting to see who it may be. As soon as he opens the door, Adamaris, Octavia and alpha Luka burst inside looking completely panicked.

Instantly, my heart falls to my stomach. This can't be good and it definitely has something to do with my sister since her two guardians are here and she isn't. "Where is Alyja?," I utter coming into full view.

"She was at my place in the morning, but when I left to pick up a few groceries and headed back. She was no longer there," Octavia huffs. I can tell how much she cares for my sister. Adamaris told me everything about this she-wolf goddess trainer. In person she's more intimidating, but I can tell she's very kind.

"Do you think she lost control again?," I say pacing back and forth. However, before anyone could respond to my question. A knock is heard at the door. Lysias opens the door and immediately he's baffled by whatever is at the door. He steps back letting whoever it is step inside which this being does.

A beautiful she-wolf wearing a bright red glossy lip gloss on her lips comes into view her aqua pastel colored eyes glancing at everyone. I couldn't help, but notice that she has black solid outlines that surround her red eyeshadow around her crease area then again another thick layer of black eyeshadow covers her eyelid and bottom eye area. This isn't a look that any she-wolf wears that I've seen. Meaning that this entity isn't one of us.

Question is who is she?

"Goddess," Octavia and Adamaris both breathe respectively as they both bow down at her presence. Luka, Lysias, and I look at one another not having a clue on who this she-wolf is.

"Goddess?," I question confusedly.

"Hello goddess of fire, let me introduce myself. I'm the goddess of love," she smiles extending her hand out to me which I stare at for a second, but then take into mine not wanting to be rude. Usually, I'm very good at reading and feeling energies of individuals. So far by her energy, I feel complete peace and love.

Go figure.

"Nice to meet you. Uhm, are we related since we're both goddesses?," I confusedly ask.

"No, I'm a whole different kind of goddess. You see I'm immortal," she giggles bubbly. Something about her brings such joy to me.

She's truly love.

"You're real?," Lysias breathes still baffled by her presence. "In the flesh," she softly responds not at all bothered by his question.

"What brings you here goddess?," Adamaris asks.

"Well as some of you may know. I never come down to earth unless I have to which brings me here today. Being the goddess of love, it's my duty to protect true love being threatened by black magic and wicked souls. The goddess of ice is in severe danger as we speak," she informs.

Instantly, she catches my interest in her even more. It all makes sense now. All of the sensations I've been feeling these past few days has been correct. I've been sensing the danger lurking into my sister's life. "Black magic? What danger is she in?," I furrow my brows. "Lodis has her and she's in the process of stealing the goddess of ice powers and that's not all-"

"What the fuck is worser than that?!," Luka grits his teeth cutting her off.

"Alpha," Octavia throws a unhappy glare at him.

"Whatever, I need to get to her now," he hastily says walking away exiting the door.

"You must make sure Alyja is safe away from her mate," the goddess of love continues on catching all of our attention. My heart begins to thump faster than usual. I can't tell that the next words that are going to slip out of her mouth is something I'm not going to like at all.

"It's written that alpha Luka is going to be the cause of his own mate's death."
