Chapter 52: Rejecting A Wolf

Selene carried the baby in her arms as she stepped out of the pool. The attendants all ran about in panic as Selene calmly walked into the bedroom.

"Your highness!" A young woman knelt at Selene's feet.

"Get me that old quack! " Selene ordered coldly. The young woman answered and transformed into a bird, flying out of the bedroom.

Selene cradled the little girl carefully and called out for somebody. Two females appeared in the room quietly and knelt to Selene.

"Get me a towel," Selene ordered. The women got two towels and brought them back to Selene.

She then carefully dried Aurora's little body before she dried herself and changed their clothes as she finished the old quack as she put it entered the bed and saluted.

He didn't say any fancy words and immediately looked over the baby girl on the bed. After checking her over for more than twenty minutes, he concluded she was healthy.

"Nothing is wrong with the princess, Your Highness." the old man mumbled to Selene.

"This child is not normal. What baby shows panic as they open their eyes for the first time?" Selene tapped her foot on the ground. The old man was lying flat on the ground as some invisible pressure pressed him down.

"Qwell your anger, Your Highness!" The old man shouted then the servants who were incognito knelt and shouted the same thing.

"What is wrong with my child?" Selene asked again. This time, the old man didn't answer because he was telling the truth. Nothing was physically wrong with the baby.

"Mother, what has gotten you so angry, I can feel it all the way over there." A young man appeared in the middle of the room and pointed to the left as he said this.

"Cain," Selene simply called out his name. Nothing much was said, but Cain understood as he glanced at the baby sleeping next to his mother.

"Congratulations to mother and father on the birth of this baby." Cain congratulated Selene, who nodded coldly.

Cain was curious how everyone would react to this explosive news. After all, his mother carried this child in her stomach for thousands of years.

He imagined that the first to react would be the other goddesses. As father was very concerned about the birth of this child.

"Does Father know?" Cain couldn't help but ask, and Selene glanced at him as if he were an idiot.

"What doesn't your lord God father not know?" Selene said with a frown. Seeing her beautiful face marrowed with a frown, Cain hummed.

The two had seemingly forgotten about the old quack quivering on the floor.

"Then at least let the doctor go. I'm sure little sister is fine." Cain couldn't help but ask his mother.

Selene let out a snort before she flicked her foot, releasing the old quack. As she did this, the soft cry of an infant was heard.

Aurora woke up a while ago but was pretending to be asleep. Every time she thought about something too complicated, her head felt like it was going to explode.

She silently gathered herself and calmed down. She wasn't supposed to be in the body of an infant. Yet here she was. The initial panic was gone.

What was left was a sense of dread, but she quickly sorted out her feelings. Right now, she needed to act like an infant.

Her belly was burning from the lack of food, so what better time to cry out? So she softly began crying, Selene watched Aurora cry uneasily.

Her little cries got louder, and louder, and not long after her wails could be heard across the palace.

"Mother?" Cain could bear hearing that child's loud cries any longer. It was so loud she could wake the dead. Only then Selene picked up Aurora who was crying her lungs out and cradled her in her arms.

Selene's motherly instincts tingled, and she immediately knew that Aurora was hungry. Without a care for the audience, she popped out one of her breasts and put her nipple in the child's mouth.

Aurora was still crying and she barely noticed the nipple in her mouth. But she did notice a sweet taste in her mouth so subconsciously she sucked.

And more of the sweet-tasting thing entered her mouth making her body feel warm and nice. Quietly she sucked and drank her fill of her mother's milk.

Aurora spat out the nipple when her little tummy was full, Selene didn't mind as she picked Aurora up and lightly patted the child's back and made her burp.

Aurora felt her thoughts becoming clearer and more cohesive. Slowly she began to sink into the land of dreams. Not knowing when she woke up she would become someone else entirely.

Selene held the sleeping baby in her arms for a while before placing her down on the bed.

"Get ready, gather your siblings. Your Lord God Father will be here shortly." Cain nodded before disappearing from the room. But if one were to glance outside one would see a giant black bird flying in the sky.

Selene gave instructions to the servants before she took Aurora to the middle of the bed and lay beside her.

Selene felt tired so she closed her eyes and fell asleep. The palace was shrouded in a halo of light. Everyone glanced at this with fear. The Lord God has come.

Lord God as they called him walked into the bedroom as he appeared in the hallway. He moved onto the bed where his sleeping wife and daughter were.

Waving his hand he sent Selene into a deep sleep and picked up Aurora. This child was special, anyone with eyes could tell he awaited the day she would be born.

And as held her little body in his arms and studied her features he trembled with excitement.

"Welcome to the world Asherah." his deep voice sounded out as he named her. He looked at his first wife who he put in a deep sleep with affection.

'Only Selene could carry a child to protection like this,' he thought to himself before he called out to the empty room.

A man shrouded in light and covered in wings appeared. Lord God didn't look at the angel and ordered it to stay and watch over Asherah.

"You are not to appear, do not talk to her, do not approach her. And listen well to the moon goddess' arrangements. I will be back in a few days Micheal." the lord ordered the angel Micheal who answered before disappearing.

The Lord gently placed Aurora down before he got off the bed and disappeared into the void and reappearing in front of a man. Chained and covered in wounds.

"Welcome back Kushiel." The lord chuckled darkly as he waved away everyone only leaving him and the chained man.

The Lord put his index finger on the bloody chin of the man and raised Kushiel's head. Kushiel's handsome face was covered in blood and cuts that were slowly healing.

"You will suffer the consequences of harming my family." the lord sneered. "I'll create you, your own personal hell."
