Eighty-Three: Reassessing the Situation
Unknown
I knew we were gonna have to get rid of Penthesilea and Phlegyas. They had become too much of a liability. In all honesty, we should have gotten rid of them after they killed that witch all those years ago. They were a good distraction from us. I had the werebears befriend them and think they did them a favour when the bears were already part of the plot. The original plan was well thought out, and it took us an entire year to decide who would carry the child. Of course, it had to be Aphrodite. She is well known for having girls and we needed a girl to be able to control and possibly give us children. What we didn't take into consideration was mixing all that power into one child. We also didn’t think anyone would find out about our plan. Penthesilea and Phlegyas apparently had big mouths and fucking Dimitri and Dominick found out. Of course, none of us knew they had added other things into our mix. We also didn't realize that all that power would be too much for one child. We should have stopped there and waited, but after two weeks we figured it didn’t work and tried again. Well, what a surprise when Aphrodite gave birth to triplets. We were also shocked when one turned out to be a boy. Unfortunately, we couldn't just swoop in and take them. By now, the gods and many others had figured out what Penthesilea and Phlegyas did, and those three kids became very hard to get around. We sat back and watched to see what would happen. We could tell from the time that those three were born that they had powers. What was extremely shocking to us was how powerful the two girls turned out to be. None of this came to light until they became teenagers. As soon as their full powers were realized, we knew that controlling them was pretty much out of the question. We, however, did keep track of them. When all that shit with Dimitri and Dominick's pack went down, that's when I realized that we were going to have a problem with them. We were there in the shadows when they wiped that family from existence. I am a demon, and I fear nothing, but what I saw those women do that day scared the fucking shit out of me. You could feel the power in the air, and it was as if time stopped. I felt like I was watching everything in slow motion.
“Hey, what has you so far away though?” She asks me.
I look at her and smile. She is so beautiful, and she is mine. She was kicked out of heaven, and while I know she would like to go back, she can't. I guess when you fall in love with a demon, it is highly frowned upon and gets you kicked out.
“Just thinking of the past,” I tell her.
It is the five of us sitting in our living room trying to figure out where we go from here. Obviously, letting Penthesilea and Phlegyas try and solve the problem backfired immensely. Again I should have gotten rid of them years ago. We have been watching the pack for the last two for almost three years. We know attacking the pack is a death sentence. Mainly because of Mykenzie and Kylani. Although, recent knowledge has been very interesting. Finding out about Posidon’s two girls was not surprising. Finding out that they have powers, especially the older ones, was promising. Also, finding out that they're now children of the goddesses was also promising. Unfortunately even trying to get the babies is almost impossible. As soon as trouble pops up they have whisked away to a realm that very limited few have access to. Besides, right now we have no idea how powerful they might be. Since they are only half gods their powers won't be noticed till they are close to or are teenagers.
“I wonder if we could somehow recruit some inside help,” Damien announces.
“Who could we recruit that could not raise suspicion with the girls?” I ask.
“I might know a few people that would help. Let me walk to them and see if they would be willing to help. I know they hate the current alpha.” He explains.
“Talk to them and see. We can't make any more mistakes. I know the girls are getting suspicious and I know for a fact that those huge fucking beasts of theirs are searching for you three.” I tell them.
I see them look at each other. Those fucking beasts of theirs are always around. The fact that the men finally figured that they could help track someone down means we have limited time to come up with some new plan before we are going to have to take a step back and let this shit calm down before we try anything else. I watch as the three of them leave to go talk to whoever it is that Damien has in mind. I would try and recruit some of the other supernatural beings but they are all too fucking scared of Mykenzie and Kylani. The only supernaturals that are unaware of their existence are werewolves. Only a few packs know them and only one knows what they really are. I wonder if I could get a pack or two to align with me to help. I decided to see what Damien finds out. I am still pissed about the fact that my daughter is down living with the pack and knows nothing of her true self. We are still trying to figure out who kidnapped her and placed her with that couple. He was good, but that woman was a human piece of trash. I know it wasn't the girls because they didn’t even know where we were or that she had been born. She has grown into a pretty young girl. Maybe one day we could be a family again.
