Sadness and celebrations

As you head down the Corridor towards the great hall you hear yelling followed by a loud growl.

You immediately recognise it as Fenrir's warning growl prompting both you and Loki to run.

You barge inside the hall and are shocked to see Fenrir in a defensive stance. Odin holding up his spear pointing it at Fenrir, guards surrounding your Pup with weapons charged with electricity.

"Father it must have been an accident, you can't do this, he can't be imprisoned" Thor says

You gasp "Imprisoned!"

Everyone turned to look at you and Loki.

"Thank the Gods, you took your time brother!" Thor says exasperated.

"I told you Thor, Quick isn't in my vocabulary" Loki snaps

"Oh stop you two! what is happening here?!" you say angry

You rush over to Fenrir and stand between him and the guards.

Loki uncharacteristically walks calmly, his arms behind his back. He smirks at his father as he glides gracefully across the hall stopping by your side. You find his cool demeanour slightly more intimidating than his frenzied temper.

"Father, Is it another battle you want? Because I can tell you now you will lose. No one will survive my bloody wrath should you attempt to split my family" Loki stares with evil intent at Odin.

"He has to be punished, the rural village of Tensir has called upon his murderous ways to be dealt with by Asgardian law. It's out of my hands, if I do not imprison him then the realms can intervene and punish him more severely, death will surely await him. At least with my way he can be bound with visitation rights. I'm being merciful!" Odin booms.

You look at Odin confused, as does Loki.

"Why does Tensir want Fenrir punished. We were there for only a day and caused no problems!" You say confused

Odin looks at you "It would make sense for his mother to lie for him. Loki of course falls for one who also has a silver tongue" Odin glares, looking down at you

You're shocked at the accusations from the Allfather. Sickened at his judgmental gaze, you become infuriated.

Loki feels your anger rising.. he quickly intervenes. "Oh father, her tongue is but one of the many reasons I fell for my princess. Now tell me, what exactly is Tensir accusing my son of?" Loki still displaying a calmness, it throws Odin off.

"Tell him Thor!" Odin commands

You and Loki gaze at Thor, you're eager to know what Thor has to say.

Thor hesitates as he see's your hurt eyes.

"Spit it out Thor, tell the truth, put an end to this nonsense" you say angry

Thor looks down to the floor. Unable to look you in the eyes.

Suddenly Huggin starts to talk.."I was tracking Fenrir's paw prints, it led me to the village of Tensir. I came across a tent, stalking it, thinking Grayah was inside. As I approached I was attacked by Fenrir. I was trapped within his jaws becoming badly injured. Fenrir caused me to become a flightless Raven. I am broken."

You look at Huggin, staring at his damaged wing. Realisation hits you, It was Huggin who was there that night, not Munnin. Extreme sadness and guilt overcame your face. You were devastated for Huggin

"Ah, so judging by your expression you confirm this story to be true" Odin says grinning.

You ignore Odin who speaks only to get a charged come back from you. He's hoping he can make you feel worthless some more.

"Huggin, I... I'm sorry. Truly with all my heart I am sorry. He obviously thought you were Munnin, or someone sent from Odin to hurt me. It was protection, he would never hurt you knowing you're my dear friend.."

Huggin's heart fluttered as he heard you refer to him as a dear friend. Feeling your words to be sincere.

"Yes, I see that now, and I truly believe it. I have no hard feelings towards Fenrir, he did after all save you" Huggin smiles warmly at you.

Loki glares at Huggin, narrowing his eyes. A clear warning to remember his previous caution to stay away from you.

"Then what is all this about, it was an accident and hopefully with Queen Frigga's help Huggin will take flight once again" you say still confused why all this is happening.

"I found a body Mina!" Thor now begins to talk.

"What body? why has this got anything to do with Fenrir. We left Tensir.."

"I found a body within the stream, a lady. Maybe caught up in the fight between Huggin and Fenrir but an innocent died"

"And there has to be a punishment, an Asgardian women we came to learn was named Lottie. Her needless death needs to be dealt with by the law of the land. Fenrir will be locked away" Odin yells, his guards stepping forward ready to electrify Fenrir.

They have learned electricity like that from Thor's hammer can stop his heart. Small doses can immobilise him.

You gasp in shock "Lottie! Noooo!" You yell out pain in your voice

Your tears being to fall, Loki holds you in his arms "you knew her love?" He asks you softly

You sob in his arms "yes, she saved me. She healed me, stopped my bleeding when I first escaped. Fenrir would never hurt her, he trusted her"

'I never hurt the round lady Father! I liked her, she cooked my rabbit' Fenrir spoke to you and Loki telepathically

"My son says he never hurt Lottie, I believe him" Loki says sternly

"He attacked my raven, he is unpredictable. Maybe she got in the way and he didn't notice that he slammed her body in the water breaking her neck!" Odins powerful voice echoing around the halls.

You look at him confused, blinking away your tears.

"listen well Odin! order your men down right now and stop with your accusations. Lottie was alive when we left Tensir.
There is no way he could've hurt Lottie, she told us the direction to run to, told us in order to find the palace we need to follow the stream. we promptly left sprinting at speed away from the threat.
We ran away! and she was left alive! you just want to believe he killed her because you fear him. Too afraid to leave my son roam free because you're scared of his strength!" You bark at Odin your chest heaving.

"I believe her Father!" Thor says

"If Fenrir attacked Lottie then I believe she would have similar wounds as me. But her neck was cleaning broke, twisted fully around" Huggins says

You wince at the description of Lottie's death. You lean into Loki's chest, gripping at his leathers crying within it.

"Her neck was twisted right around?" Frigga asks curious

"Yes Mother, it was done with force. She still had the horrified look on her face" Thor's voice saddened

You let out a loud sob, weeping more into Loki

Loki hissed at Thor, a warning to cease the vivid description.

"I'm sorry Mina, I forget she was your friend"

"I believe I know who killed her, and it certainly was not Fenrir. A twisted neck is the signature move of Munnin, is it not dear husband?" Frigga announces.

You look wide eyed at Frigga, then to Odin.

Odin stays silent but glares at Frigga.

"During the bloody battles I would attend to heal the wounded. I came across many twisted necks of the enemies. Eventually I came to learn who killed our enemies this way, I witnessed such an awful death carried out by Odins raven Munnin. I questioned his cruelty, his reply was that he enjoys hearing their bones snap, the vibrations of it flowing through his fingers. I will never forget the sight, and his glee after ending a life that way"

"I'm surprised you didn't know that father, it seems a lot of information escapes you as you succumb to senile decay." Loki says amused

Odin started to become enraged "my mind is perfectly well! Do not insult me boy"

Loki squints his eyes, glaring at his father. He doesn't like being referred to as a mere boy.

You understand why Loki disliked when you called him boy during your weak attempt at dominating him. Odin purposely used that term to demote him, making him feel little.
You remind yourself not to use that word for Loki again.

"Well, that settles that matter. I will go to Tensir and speak to the town. Let them know it was not Fenrir but the wanted criminal Munnin. Lottie will be laid to rest and everyone will know she helped save the Princess of Midguard. We will commemorate her, she will be remembered as the hero she was" Frigga stays sternly, trying to take charge and end the conflict.

Guards still hold their weapons at Fenrir...Odin still glares at Loki.

"Well! your Queen just ended the friction. Lay down your weapons now!" your command loud, your face deadly serious.
Fenrir growls behind you enhancing your orders, the guards fearing you even more.

They lower their weapons much to everyone's surprise. Loki turns to you his brow raised, he smirks enjoying the sight of your empowered self.

Your fierce order made his cock twitch. The memory of you taking charge and being his dominating mistress flooded in his mind.

You watch Loki, you see his grin and know immediately he's thinking of all the filthy things he'd like to do with you.

You conceal your smile not wanting to break away from your tough demeanour. You want everyone to no you mean business when it comes to your family. You can't start smiling and blushing every time loki looks at you lustfully.

You stand tall and walk over to Queen Frigga. You give Loki a wink as you pass him, he fights the urge to slap your ass.

Frigga smiles as she see's your exchange with Loki. She's never seen her son look so happy than when he's with you.

You approach Frigga who extends her hands for you to take.
You take hold and feel her gently squeeze before she guides you to the large breakfast table.

"Come let's have breakfast"

You sit on the table next to Frigga. Loki walks over to join you.

"Do I have to order everyone to sit down!" Frigga says looking at Thor, Huggin and Odin.

The three men proceed to take a seat and sit in silence.

You lean in to Frigga "Thank you, it means a lot you spoke up clearing Fenrir's name. I would like to attend Lottie's Funeral if I may"

Frigga's tone saddened for you "of course dear, let me go and sort out the arrangements and I will update you"

You nod in agreement, then turned to look at the door when you hear them open.
Many maids come in with trays of food, they stop in their tracks almost dropping everything as they see Fenrir. His giant size almost touching the ceiling.

To anyone who didn't know him he looked every bit intimidating. Yet you know he's just a giant puppy who loves attention, praise and love.

Fenrir sits up and starts to wag his tail, the swishing noise loud as his fur moves against the floor. He was an eager pup, ready to devour his breakfast.

"Please don't be afraid, he will not harm you" you say reassuring the palace staff who jumped at Fenrir's movement.

They look to Queen Frigga who's calm eyes encourage them to carry on.
They start to pile the array of dishes on the table, your stomach grumbling already.

Loki hears your belly growl and grips your hand. "Wow Darling, are you sure you don't have a little Fenrir in there consuming all your food" he jokes.

You laugh "well I've seen some odd things since being here, I honestly wouldn't be surprised at anything anymore"

Loki rubs your belly joking about with you, you laugh as you remove his hand. Bumping your shoulder against his as you play with him.

Suddenly you hear Odin scoff, making your eyes go to his. He's watched your entire exchange with Loki, not amused.

"I do so hope you're taking precautions Loki, you don't want your pretty mortal to die should she become with child"

Everyone went silent, the maids listening intently but lowering their head to not make it obvious.
You look at Odin confused, Loki looks at you with panic on his face. His expression confusing you even more.

"Ah, seems Loki hasn't yet talked about this matter has he" Odin smirks

"Shut your mouth!" Loki hisses to Odin causing Odin to smirk even wider.

"Loki I'm in need of your help, I need you to attend to the realms and explain all about your dear Mina, and how she came to be here. You will fight my case, explaining all of Munnin's torture and abuse of the princess of Midguard. Don't skip details, the more they know of her pain the better for me. They will see it was Munnin who enacted unjest punishment over the last 3 thousand years of reign." Odin says confidently

"And why would I do that? Get another slave to serve you" Loki says scornfully

Odin smirks at Loki. "Maybe I should discus in more detail about the dangerous birthing process of Jotuns. Maybe we should talk more about you and how different you are as apposed to Thor.."

Odin had a hold on Loki, threatening to expose Loki as Jotun if he didn't do as he says. He was blackmailing him, and Loki being terrified of you finding out about his monster heritage made him bow down to Odins will.

"Fine!" Loki snaps angrily

"Loki...you can't .."

"It's okay love, I won't be gone long. Just a day or so"

"Mother you will look after Mina while I'm away won't you?" Loki asks ....pleads..

"Your mother will be in Tensir sorting Fenrir's issue. But I'm sure Huggin and Thor will keep her company" Odin says with a sly smirk.

Odin knew Loki was a Jealous God, especially when it come to his possessions. You're everything to Loki, you being alone with others would consume Loki with dark thoughts. Odin knew this would be torture for him.

"I will attend with you Loki" Thor says

"Great idea, my two sons helping their father clear my name with the realms. Mina will be just fine with Huggin" Odin looks at Loki grinning, he had sensed Huggin has feelings for you.

Loki grits his teeth, his jaw clenched down. His rage building as his father twists him around his finger. You can see Loki getting angry, you hated that Odin had some sort of hold on Loki. You felt you were being kept from knowing important information.

"I will care for Mina Loki.... You have my word" Huggin says sincerely.

You watched as loki balled his fists on the table, he was pushing down his rage. He hated the idea of leaving you, worse that he's forced to do so by Odin.

"Then let's leave, the quicker we go the sooner I'm back" Loki says as he rises from his chair.

You look at loki stunned "you can't go now surely"

"No, you and Thor leave in a week. In the mean time continue looking for my Raven" Odin says feeling more in charge now.

You grabbed Loki's hand and pulled him to sit down. He resumed his seat next to you, his mind full of worry.

You see loki in deep thought, you wonder what concerns him.

"I'll be fine here with Fenrir, Huggin will most likely be busy with tracking Munnin. You don't need to worry about the company I keep Loki...but I wish you wouldn't be so jealous of Huggin. He's sweet, and harmless"

Loki turns to you, "he's sweet on you Darling, I know what sits in his mind when he's near you. Because it's what's in my mind too. How can I not be jealous when I imagine you leaving me and being with him"

You move your chair closer to Loki, allowing your head to rest on his shoulder. You look up at his face "My love, what can I do to ease that over active imagination of yours... hm?" you smile as you look deeply into his glum eyes.

He pondered in thought, before a lightbulb moment sprang into Loki's mind, a smile now replacing his sad expression.

He leaned his lips to your ears and whispered.."maybe you can say yes this time"

You narrow your eyes wondering what he meant... he stares at you with an excited smile as he watches you try to understand what he means.

Your eyes widen as you finally realise.. you laugh nervously.

You gulp, your heart starting to race as you breathe faster. You sit up from Loki's shoulder, holding both of his hands while you stare at each other.

"Well, maybe you should ask me again.." you gush

Loki couldn't contain his excitement, he was the one now nervously grinning while looking around the room.

He noticed everyone busy with chatter and eating. They don't notice what he was about to do, but he wants them to know, he needs them to see that you belong to him.

He stands up abruptly, his chair scraping along the tile floor causing a loud shriek.

Everyone turned to look at Loki while you remain seated.

"Can I have everyone's attention please" Loki says smiling.

He turns to you, looking down at your wide eyed expression.

You watch as he lowers himself down, bending on one knee while keeping grip on your hand.

You don't see or hear no one else in that moment, it was just you and Loki. You focus on his nervous yet happy face and watch as he tries to hide his trembles. You want to remember every second of this moment.

"My dearest love, my soulmate, my heart, my fated one..you're my entire world. Every moment with you has been the happiest I've ever been. Your love mends the broken pieces of my heart. You're my medicine, without you I whither away. You're my peace, the only one who can calm my chaos. I will love you and cherish you for infinity, forever striving to make you as happy as you make me. So I ask you Kitten, will you marry me?"

Your heart swells, you felt the love in every word. Your happy tears roll down your cheeks as you see a little green box appear in Loki's hand.

He opens it and presents you with a beautiful gold ring with a dazzling emerald gem.
You hold out your hand allowing him to slip the ring on your engagement finger.

You stare at your finger adorned with Loki's ring, it fit perfectly. You smile through your tears, looking at Loki who still waits for your answer.

"Yes Loki, a million times yes!"

He suddenly gripped you, pulled you into his hug and wrapped his arms around your waist immediately after hearing the word yes.

Loki spun you around in his arms, his nerves now gone. He was elated, in complete bliss that you're now his and everyone that mattered witnessed it.

He stops, holding your body close. His lips meet yours, passionately kissing you, warmth spreading throughout your body as you kiss for the first time as an engaged couple.

You rest your forehead against his as you stare into each other. "I'm glad you said yes this time, because I wasn't going to ask a third time"

You pull your head away from Loki and raise a brow. "Oh, so you would have given up on me so easily hm?" you say questioningly

Loki pulls you back into his body, smirking "On the contrary Kitten, I wasn't going to ask again not because I gave up on you, but because I quit being nice. Had you refused me this time, sure I'd have been sad, but my mental cogs would have kicked into gear, pushing the formal etiquette out. I would have taken what belonged to me whether you agreed or not. You were always going to be my wife, you just didn't no it"

You smile, "ah I see, so you're saying you would have bound me to you with force"

"Exactly Darling, forced to marry me, forced to love me, forced to be with me and non other"

You laugh at Loki's words, but you're unsure if he was serious or just joking with you. Either way, you didn't care. You'd have to be completely out of your mind to say no to Loki's proposal, and if that's the case you welcome his dominating ways.

"Well, should I ever refuse you I give you permission to drag me to the Alta and marry me" you say in a playful tone.

Loki chuckles "Thank you for the permission sweetheart, although it's really not needed. I take what I want remember" he grins

You bring your lips to Loki's "of course, my king does as he wishes" you talk into his kiss.

You feel Loki smile as your lips melt into each other once more.

You suddenly hear clapping and cheers. Loki and you both break from the kiss startled. You forgot you had an audience.

Queen Frigga and Thor were cheering, Huggin was clapping in celebration.

"Oh my son, how wonderful. I knew she would be for Asgard not just Midguard, I felt it as soon as I saw you dear" Frigga beamed, wrapping her arms around both you and Loki.

Thor walked over and patted Loki on the shoulder, congratulating his brother. "Well brother, who knew you would marry before me" Thor laughs.

Your gaze flits to Odin, who smirks when he catches your eye.

"I suppose it's a good thing, someone finally tamed you. Maybe binding yourself to a mortal women may contain your chaos for what... 50 years? it's a shame they don't live longer. When does this wedding take place, sooner rather than later I guess as each day that passes she's closer to death" Odin says unamused that his son will marry a mortal.

"Odin!" Frigga says shocked

Loki's smile fades, his anger rising. He was about to charge towards his father when you grip onto his shoulders and pull him back.

You pull him into you, calming him down. "It's ok love, he's just trying to break us. Don't give him the satisfaction. Let's celebrate our engagement and be happy.... Please"

Loki listened to you, your voice calming him down. He holds you, breathing in your scent.

'Is no one going to eat all of this food?'

You and Loki turn to look at Fenrir who is blissfully unaware of what's happening. He's been too busy lapping up the huge selection of food.

"Oh Fenrir, you're going to have a upset stomach again. You need to stop now" you laugh

"You Mothers right son, choose one last thing and that's enough for breakfast" Loki says, his fatherly mode kicking in.

Frigga looks on, impressed by Loki and his parental instincts.

"You will be a wonderful father to your children Loki" Frigga says smiling.
Loki turns to his mother, raw emotion coming over him.

"My children will never feel a burden, never feelΒ  they've disappointed me. They will only no love from their mother and their father" Loki looks at you when he mentioned mother. You smile at him, believing everything he says.

Odin looks at Loki, and for a split second you think you see some shame wash over his face.

'Mother, I don't feel very good' Fenrir says as he sits up suddenly dry heaving.

"Oh no, he's going to be sick. Not in here, not inside Fenrir. Quick Loki let's get him outside" you say in a panic

That's all you want is for a giant mound of vomit within the great hall. The stench would linger in the palace for days.

You run with Fenrir outside the hall, and proceed to take him to the gardens for fresh air.

Loki was at the doorway of the hall when Odin yells out to him.

"You likely would be a great father Loki, if she survived. But can you love the child that kills it's mother?"

Loki turns to look at Odin "I'm not reckless Father, although I desire to father a child with my love. I would never put her life in danger. She doesn't no it, but I prevent a pregnancy each time I lay with her. She is more than enough for me, I need nothing more from her"

"But are you enough for her? It seems you have deceived her from the very beginning. Does she even know you?"

"She loves me, and we have Fenrir now. If she needs more their are other options" Loki says

"Adoption sometimes doesn't quite work well, your adopted child might grow up to dislike you" Odin says

Loki knew Odin was referring to his own experience.Β 

"No child who feels loved and treated equally can grow up to hate. If the child grew to dislike its parent its because of the parents actions or lack of them. Maybe the father needs to revise their parental methods or relinquish them entirely"

Odin didn't attempt anymore talk, and Loki didn't want the heart to heart conversation. Loki left the room feeling agitated, and angry, yet his fathers words rang inside his head.

He hated deceiving you, but he couldn't tell you the truth. Whilst he accepts his jotun self now, he could never father a monster child. Could never put your life in danger, not now, after only just getting you back. He was too afraid to lose you.

Should you wish to grow a child in your belly yourself and not adopt. He already had a plan in motion. A plan, that to some may seem immoral but it would be the only way.Β 

Loki arrived at the palace garden hearing you laugh, he slowly walked down the steps, his eyes not moving from you.

He watches as you chase Fenrir around the newly built fountain. Queen Frigga made it even bigger, more grand when she learnt how much you loved it, and how disappointed you were when it got destroyed.

You notice Loki watching you, you give him a wink before telling Fenrir to chase him.

Loki had little time to prepare himself for a chase, Fenrir was right behind his back as Loki sprinted towards the west side of the palace.

You run after them laughing as you see Loki making surprised playful faces each time Fenrir nudged him with his big nose. Fenrir could easily have caught him by now, but he stays back, allowing loki to think he could get away.

You slow down and catch your breath, leaning on the broken wall of the derelict part of the palace. Loki and Fenrir run further ahead.

As you stand there alone, you start to hear whispers once again. This time it startled you as you no it's not Loki or Fenrir playing with you this time. You see them ahead, still in chase with each other.

You follow the wall, the area dark from the shade. You duck under overgrowth, the sounds getting so loud, almost like someone is talking inside your ear yet you can't make out what they say, it's mumbled.

You walk further into the weeds, parting the hedges with your hands. Suddenly you find yourself inside the middle, completely hidden inside the weeds. The place would be a nice reading spot had it not been so dark and gloomy.

You hear Loki call for you, you were about to leave when something shiny caught your eye. You walk towards the stone wall, moving the vines to the side that conceal a door.

You see a shiny golden door knob, finding it strange that everything else in the area is tarnished, the door faded and worn. Yet the door knob is clean, as if still used by someone.

You were about to grab the knob when Loki pulls you into him. "There you're Darling, you shouldn't be here. It's dangerous and cordoned off for a reason. Bricks fall every day from great height. Come let's go" Loki says sounding nervous.

He guides you quickly back through the weeds and overgrowth. "But did you see that door, where does it lead" you ask curious

"Oh, it's just an unused part of the palace. It used to be a dungeon, built by Odin to house the most dangerous. It was meant to be an inescapable prison. Yet when Odin caught a few giants during the great giant battle of Asgard they smashed their way out. Hence the building laying in ruin. It's not safe, don't come here again"

"But the door.."

"Mina! I said do not come here again, Do you understand?" Loki says angry, and stern. He's gripped your shoulders and holds them tight. His face was grave, and deadly serious.

You nod your head, confused yet still curious. But you put it past you, if Loki says it's dangerous you thought best to listen.

"Alright love" you say smiling, trying to lighten his mood.

Loki eases when he sees you smile. He wraps his arm around your waist and walks with you towards Fenrir who has spread himself out under the sun.

You slowly sneak up to Fenrir when you see he's asleep basking in the heat. You pounce into his furry chest "gotcha!"

You expected to make him jolt but he simply opens up a lazy eye. 'I saw you coming Mother, you can't outwit me' Fenrir laughs before closing his eye and snoozes back to sleep.

You get up and walk towards his ear and gently whisper "one day I will give you a fright son" you laugh.

"You no why we can't ever sneak up on him?" Loki says as he watches your exchange with Fenrir.

You turn to Loki "why?" you ask curiously

"Because we're connected, he hears us, we hear him. He can hear our heart beat even if we were stranded within the ocean. He can only do that to those he connects with"

You smile "well, I suppose I have to work harder on my sneaking then, or stop my beating heart" you laugh

Loki takes your hand, bringing it up to his lips. He kisses your knuckles before kissing your emerald ring. "Don't say that Darling, I can't bare the thought of your heart not beating, I love it too much"

You look sadly at Loki, you've reminded yourself that you won't live as long as Loki. "Loki, I will grow old and die long before you and Fenrir. We can't avoid the inevitable"

He looks at you, his eyes showing sorrow at hearing you say it.
"Let's not dampen our happy celebrations, lets dance" he says cheery.

"But Loki .."

"Ah ah ah... we dance darling, no speaking"

Loki places one hand on your waist, cupping your other hand holding it up. You begin to sway to a soft melody that Loki hums.

You smile as you listen to him, he guides you into a swirl and you giggle.

Loki leads you in dance, guards and staff stop and watch as you and Loki laugh together, your love emanating off you both. The moment was perfect, you committed it to memory never wanting to forget the best moment of your life.

Loki stops as you both become out of breath, his eyes searching yours. You smile and allow him access to your mind, he's searching for your love.

You watch as he grins wider, letting out a puff of air in relief.

"Will you ever not doubt my love?" you ask

"I hope one day to get to that point, but I'm not quite there yet Sweetheart. I hope you don't mind me confirming it within your eyes every now and then?"

You smile lovingly at Loki "I hope my actions prove how much I love you. But if not, seek the light that burns only for you. Look within my eyes and get relief, I will never stop you"

Loki cups your face, gently smoothing his thumb over your cheek. "There is no words to express how much I love you"

You grin "I feel your love Loki, I need no words"
