Seth (Book 4) TWENTY FOUR
"Why do you keep staring at me?" Ask Persephone once she takes a bite of her Belgium waffle, chewing like a rabbit.I giggle, thinking how adorable she looks like a chipmunk."You're acting weird."I wasn't concerned about her calling me weird, but it only made me smile and giggle.After I learned, my daughter has been with me the whole time. Alive and well, I couldn't help but smile. Last night, I couldn't sleep because of the sudden news Persephone is my daughter. At first, I didn't want to believe it and went out to clear my head until the sun rose. I thought about what Odin had said to me and to give me time to prepare mentally. It is still quite a shock, but she's my daughter. I'm new to parenting and will learn throughout the process, but I can't tell her she's my child. I am still waiting for the right moment. I want to spend time with her and get to know her. I can not believe meeting my daughter after thirteen years can be overwhelming and nerve-wracking. What can we talk ab

"Here, Terry, take these," Lily hands me painkillers. I pop two in my mouth."Thanks," I smile weakly at her."Terry? Um...he should be in the restroom.""Who is Jo talking to?" Ask Thea through the loud noise from the hand dryer."It's Seth," Lily said, and she could see the worries on her face.I hear Seth's voice echoing in this small public restroom as I listen to the conversation."He's not in there. Earlier during the drive here, I saw he looked pale. Is he okay?"For being ignorant, he still worries for me. I couldn't help but smile inside. I thought he would ignore me forever after what happened. Seth isn't the kind of person to look the other way whenever someone he cares about is sad or hurt.That is one of the things I like about him."Well, we all saw he went to the restroom. How could he leave and disappear?""That is why I'm asking you, girls. Poppy is worried about him."Persephone!I want to push open the door, but Effie stops me from leaving, shaking her head. My unde

"Sully Vonner! Get your fucking ass out here now!" I scream at the top of my lungs as it waves my anger and rage. I'm itching to cut the fucker in half and his men.The first door that opens, Sully steps out from the room on the second floor. He approaches and stops in front of the rail."I guess five men can't take down a simple man," he seems disappointed as he yells at his men. "Are you all fucking weak?!""Where is Persephone?" I ask, growling from the pent-up rage inside."Don't worry, and she's asleep in the room."I clench my fist. "If you touch her, I will cut both of your hands off."Sully leans against the rail, flashing a smirk as if the threat doesn't intimate him."I can see why you're called Odin's Shadow because you are nothing but a shadow for a man who can turn the world upside down." He starts to say. "You are doing the dirty work for the old bastard.""Don't talk about Odin like that! He isn't like you, a sick fucker who sodomizes younger boys for pleasure. Tell me,
Seth (Book 4) TWENTY SEVEN
I watch my brother in arms lift his head; his eyes are now dilated, and red veins pop out at the corner. His mouth filled with white foam. He's growling and angry."Myles...snap out of it."My voice couldn't reach him. The drug has made him a rabid madman.Before I call out his name again, he hopes he understands what he's about to do. Myles launches himself at me, but I dodge by rolling away. He wailed and made some grunting noises as he continued to attack me."Myles! Please! Fight it." I'm going to keep reaching my voice to him. But his behavior because of the drug made his mind go berserk."It's no use, little Shadow," Sully taunts with a song through his tone. "The drug already corrupted your friend's mind. He's no longer the person you know.""You piece of shit! I will kill you!" I roar at Sully, making him laugh. I was caught off guard as Myles hit me as hard as he could, sending me down to the ground.My outburst only made the bastard laugh, amused by this fight he had created
Seth (Book 4) TWENTY EIGHT
"What the fuck are you doing? You could have killed me." He bites out; he jumps up and down like a temper tantrum child. "Do you not want the little girl back? You do that again, and I will do things to her and make you watch.""I cut your hands first before touching her," I growl.I will do everything to get my daughter back. I can't let this sick fucker touch her. But now he's mentioning Seth, and using him as a guinea pig for his handmade drugs raised my rage to its peak.I don't want him to go through what Myles endured by ending up killed by my hands.I don't want to kill anybody who holds a place in my heart."You sure are heroic," Sully's eyes got bulgy. "The mention of that man got you all tense. Tell me, how's his dick? I looked at him well, and he sure is a catch. I saw the way he looked at you with those beautiful blue eyes. Can you give him to me? I promise to take good care of him."Both of my hands curled up, and my body tensed. I want to cut this man up and send him to
Seth (Book 4) TWENTY NINE
It's dark.Nothing but emptiness and loneliness.So dark is all my eyes could see. The only time is when bright white light casts its rays and blinds me as black silhouettes appear.There are no faces except menacing red eyes. Their bodies are the color of the darkroom. I couldn't tell what they were thinking."Grab her," says one in a husky, dark female tone, almost demonic.My whole body trembles in fear. I let out a cry, but no voice came out. It is as if I lost my ability to speak. Another dark figure follows the one with the red eyes that had ordered and dragged me out, unsure where they take me. The weaker I've become, the more I open my mouth to protest, forcing the voice within me to resurrect. I fought to break free, but his slender hands were tight around my waist like a heavy chain, unbreakable. No matter how hard I struggled, it was too late.I was thrown off and landed on something soft. The place is still the same as the previous room. Dark and cold. My heart is beating
Seth (Book 4) THIRTY
I open my eyes, and the first thing I see is the ceiling. I gave a few blinks before my vision was clear. The room seems dark but not pitch black like in my dream. Waking up feels as if I went into a deep sleep. My whole body felt sore, and I couldn't move my body. I move my legs a bit, realizing they are not covered. I'm not wearing anything underneath except this long, oversized T-shirt. The movement had me stir, knowing that I was not alone. Someone next to me then moves the bed as an arm hugs my waist, a man's arm.I was about to move, but a soft snore was heard next to me. I wasn't sure where I was, but I remembered rescuing Persephone from Sully and passing out in Seth's arms. So, where am I?Panic rose, and my sense kicked in that I was possibly in a dangerous place. And the first thing to do is get ready to grab this asshole and interrogate him.I pushed his arm away, straddled him, and held my fist in the air but froze."Seth?""Am I going to wake up like this forever?" he say
Seth (Book 4) THIRTY ONE
"Poppy...is your daughter?" I know it's a lot to take in, but since he knew I'm a woman and it didn't bother him much that I had lied about it, maybe telling him about Persephone was the right thing to do—the expression of this shocking surprise I anticipated. "Yes." Using the blanket to cover my naked body, I sat up and leaned against the headboard. I wasn't ready to explain, but now I know I can trust Seth; I have nothing to worry about. Right? "If she's your daughter," Seth sat beside me. "Then, with your age and her age, you must have her when you..." I watched his eyes grow wide as he solved a math problem. "Yes, I had Poppy when I was thirteen," I say, calmly though it's a bit young for a girl who doesn't know anything about motherhood when I was abandoned by my own. "Does she know?" I shake my head and pull my legs under my chin, hugging them. "No, and I'm not ready to tell her. Not yet." "I understand you two found each other, but would it be right for her to learn abou
