The Gods: How They Became Werewolves (Book 2)

Chapter 1

Athena’s POV

As I walked around the now empty place we call Olympus, I remembered when it used to be full of gods and goddesses. The banquets and parties we’d host here were ones of the highest of praise, but I mean what else would you expect from Olympus and the gods(goddesses) who called it home.? Zeus was starting to get worried, he was sure one of us would be next to disappear, we were all afraid of what would happen, so me; being the goddess of wisdom and all, came up with an idea to save us from our fate and called for a meeting.

Upon arrival, Zeus and Poseidon were already waiting, their white tunics were dull now, they used to shine with brightness; that was when the mortals thought highly of us, and prayed. The mortals no longer pray and think of us so, they now are praying to Selene. Selene is a moon goddess, and she created these beings she calls werewolves, these Wolves worship her, they revolve all their decisions around her. That’s the way mortals use to be with all of us gods, now there’s only a handful left and I’m the only one smart enough to save our existence.

“What are we doing here Athena?” Zeus asks, bored, his tone still holding authority.

“I have an idea that might save us from turning into dust.” I reply, unsure on how they will all take the idea I have. Soon enough everyone is here. Selene’s white tunic shined brightly, giving her an angelic look, her pitch black hair making her stand out, it was so long, it almost touched the floor behind her. Her round face made her look 12 years younger than she actually was, her silver eyes popped against her almost white pale skin.

“What is this about” she asked, her voice soft and soothing, a curious look on her face.

“I have an idea I want to run by everyone to save our existence, I haven’t discussed this with anyone so I’m not sure how you guys will react to this.” I start off, looking around the room, gauging everyone’s facial expressions.

“What if, Selene we’re to put us on earth but make us into wolf spirits?.” I ask slowly so that it could sink in.

“You mean make you guys the wolf counterpart of a human?” Selene asks, more intrigued.

“Somewhat, yea but we get to keep our god powers, so like we as a wolf spirit are rare and more powerful than normal werewolves.” I explain further, looking around the group, the only one showing any kind of emotion is Aphrodite. Her expression is of great dislike for my idea..

“I’m the freaking Goddess of beauty, what mortal could possibly want with me as a wolf spirit?” She asks in a snobbish tone.

"Well as the Goddess of beauty, your looks will be unmatched to any mortal which means you could have any man in your bed." I state flatly, as a goddess of love, she ruled in the department of s****l pleasures, which meant whenever Aphrodite was around, all the rest of us goddesses didn't exist as they all drooled over her very presence.

"This is the stupidest idea I've ever heard, and you're the goddess of wisdom." Poseidons hard, and aggravated voice sounded.

Oh great, he's still pissed off about Athens. Long ago Poseidon thought that Athens would better benefit from him, he made them a seawater stream. I on the other hand merely planter them an olive tree and the first king of Athens declared that the olive tree was more beneficial as it gave them fruit, oil and wood.

“Would you rather stay and turn to dust?” I retorted indifferently and looked at him directly in the eye with a hard stare. He shifted a bit uncomfortable with my look and shook his head with his head hung low in shame.

“So everyone is for this idea yes, I don’t know about you guys but I’m excited!” Selene exclaimed.

Her bubbly and excited demeanor was a bit infectious. I found myself looking around as the others slowly nodded their agreement.

“How about this ‘mate’ thing you described, how will this work. We are one goddess short.” Zeus asked Selene and added air quotes when he said ‘mates’.

“We shall give one of you the very, special mate. The one that any normal werewolf would die to have as a mate: Me.” Selene said confidently as she locked eyes with Zeus. Many if not, all of us know about all or most of Zeus’ affairs on his wife and sister Hera. To mortals, the messing around with siblings or parents isn’t normal but for some reason, for us gods it seems pretty normal.

“And how is the mating supposed to work when you’re here and I’m there?” He asked, smirking slowly raking his eyes up and down her body.

“I can manifest myself in human form in front of you, when you can no longer take the s****l frustration. The marking process will be simple, my mark will be on you’re neck here. I will bear a mark only once even though you will be born many times over.” When she said ‘here’ she placed her finger in the middle of his neck by his jawline, Zeus growled hungrily at her, Selene smirked.

“I do have one condition though, I would like for each of us to keep our godly powers and I’d like for each of us to pick what our wolves look like.” I proposed to the group, breaking Selene’s trance with Zeus.

“I don’t see how that would be a problem, as long as everyone is good for it we can start choosing the wolves now.” She responded, he silky voice, drawing Zeus in on another trance as if she were the only one in the room

Is this what this mate bond she describes looks like? I can’t wait for him to look at me like that. I thought to myself as I cast a quick glance in Ares direction. They had all agreed and formed a group around Selene.

“So tell me which one wants to pick their wolf first?” She asks proudly.
