The Muses: Titans Return

Chapter 10

"Alpha Elijah, Alpha of the Red Crescent Pack. Welcome to Kaydagra, a community for the Olympian Gods and Goddesses and their children. I make a motion to the land around me. Thank you for joining us." I smile as I walk up to him. Alpha Elijah looks around with a small smile until he sees Selene. He drops to his knee as does the other wolves around him.

"Goddess Selene. We come to your aide with a thousand of my best warriors." Alpha Elijah says looking at the ground still on his knee.

"Alpha Elijah Mills, raise. Thank you for answering the call to service before it was made. A thousand warriors will help us immensely. Please show your warriors to the training field with tents for everyone. You must have worked closely with Anastasia before since she knew exactly how many were coming." Selene says smiling at me and back at Alpha Elijah.

"It seems Anastasia and I's paths crossed for a different reason. I was married to her mother, making me her step-father. She was aware of my men because she lived with me and her mother for a considerable amount of time." Alpha Elijah says looking towards me. I give a small nod towards him.

"My cousin is your step-daughter! Oh it's like we are family then!" Selene giggles as she pulls Elijah up into a hug as she smiles. "Now. Hurry and get comfortable dinner will be served shortly and I know my wolves can eat." Selene says smiling at everyone and turning walking back into the house.

"Well my cousin surely knows how to part a crowd. Alpha you will find your accommodations to be more than comfortable. If you will follow me." I say motioning for them to follow. Directly behind the mansion was a field that once housed training dummies and targets for the bows and arrows. Now housed thousands of large tents, each tent having a bedroom with a queen sized bed, a living room with a fireplace and seating as well as a dining room with a fully stocked kitchen. Elijah grunts shocked and gives a small nod.

"Dinner will be served in the garden to the East in an hour." Deimos says gently grabbing my elbow. When I turn to him he motions to the house. I give a small nod turn to Elijah.

"Welcome and thank you." I say walking to the house.

"Jace and his coven just arrived as well. Who would you like to greet them?" Deimos asked looking towards the front door.

"Hecate, Bo, Mel, you and I of course. We are leaders." I say dusting off his shoulders making sure he looks presentable.

"May I suggest we bring Hecate's daughter Circe?" Deimos says with a small smile.

"Circe? As in the Goddess of Sorcery? Why would she need to be there?" I ask looking at him for a moment.

"Well, Hades can't even keep you from speaking your mind but maybe your Goddess will?" Deimos asks with a chuckle. I roll my eyes at him with a smile.

"If Hades, my father, can't keep me in line what makes you think that Circe will be able too?" I chuckle as we open the doors and I see standing to the right of the door, Bo, Mel, Hecate, and Circe. "Oh you already told her to be here."

The SUV doors close and I look over at Jace for a moment behind his eyes I can see the hurt I caused and I can see the hate for Deimos as he glances at him. Then I see something in Jace's eyes I haven't seen in a while, love. I look to who he's looking at and it's Circe.

Jace's POV

I groan having to go back to Kaydagra. I hate having to go there and see the mate I didn't get to have. I understand why she rejected me and I know I would have done the same but it doesn't hurt any less when I see her. I look at my driver, Matt, my third in command, Alec, in the passenger seat and my second in command, Jeremey, next to me. We were asked by our Goddess Hecate to help the Olympians as we are the closest coven to the community.

When we pull up and as I open the door my eyes are drawn to her, Anastasia, the one who rejected me. Her blue eyes the same, I can see the hurt she feels I know she didn't reject me out of spite. She is the daughter of Hades, God of Death and of the Dead, King of the Underworld. Anastasia had responsibilities before we met. Plus my father kept her captive for a few weeks, I really don't blame her, but the doesn't make it hurt any less.

I look over at the God she was matched with, Deimos, God of Terror and son of Ares and Aphrodite, and from what I remember from history class in school Aphrodite was a beautiful woman and if he looks like her then she was more beautiful than beautiful. He looked by definition, a God. I feel hate, he didn't ask for any of this but he got what I was suppose to have.

My gaze gets drawn just over Deimos' right shoulder and I see a brown, curly haired, green eyed angel. I instantly feel relaxed and like nothing in this world can change any of that. She looks at me and something clicks, it's the same feeling as I had with Anastasia. When I look back at Anastasia I can see she sees what is going on and she gives a slight smile.

"Jace, Welcome. May I introduce you to Circe, Goddess of Sorcery. Circe, this is Grand Warlock Jace Moore of the Moon Hollow Coven." Anastasia says looking at the two of us still with a small smile. "She is also Hecate's daughter." My eyes widen for a split moment before dropping to my knee noticing Hecate was standing next to her.

"My apologizes, my Goddesses." I say looking down at the ground.
