Chapter 60 - The Rejected Goddess

Emma POV

After Beta Edward told me the location, the Blue Fire Pack, I quickly found it on a made and memorised the location. Within moments I had a portal open just outside of their pack house.

As we stepped through, I noticed some rogues hiding in the trees across the field.

“It looks like we may have just gotten here on time.” James says.

“Eric really doesn’t waste any time.” Alpha Inga also states.

“I think there is a third person at play here.” I say.

“You know who it is, don’t you?” Beta Edward asks, looking at me knowingly.

“No, but I have suspected them for a while. Even told you about them. But if they are here then it is not a good sign, I just hope I can get to them before anything happens.” I state as we approach the front door.

I quickly knocked on the door, which was opened by a middle-aged man.

“Yes?” The man asks tensely.

“Hello, I am Goddess Emma, and I was hoping to speak to Alpha John if at all possible?” I reply calmy and politely.

“I am alpha John. How can I help you?”

“Could we come in? Just you have some rogues hiding over there in the trees.” I point in the direction of the field behind us leading to the trees.

Alpha John moves aside and lets us in.

“We are currently under attack. I have managed to get many of the pack members off the land but those in the pack house are refusing to leave without a fight and I am standing with them.” Alpha John says as soon as the door is closed and bolted.

“As am I.” A young lady says, stepping forward and embracing Alpha John.

“Luna Lucy, I presume?” I ask.

“Goddess, it is lovely to meet you. Just such a shame it is under these circumstances.” Luna Lucy replies, bowing to me.

“Please do not bow. What is going on here?” I ask Alpha John.

“The rogues appeared a few hours ago, someone tipped us off as to what was going to happen, so we managed to get many off the lands in time.” Alpha John explains.

“We are here to help; we will fight beside you Alpha John.” Alpha Inga says, holding out his hand to shake.

“Thank you, Alpha Inga.”

“As will I.” says James, causing Alpha John to look at him curiously.

“I hope you don’t think I am rude, but who are you?”

“I am Alpha James and also Goddess Emma’s Beta.” James replies proudly.

Before anyone can say anything else, a horn is blown from far away but close enough for us to know that the fight is about to begin.

“Everyone, to the safe room bunker please. My warriors and I will hold them off until you are there.” Alpha John roars, just before the first rogue bangs on the door, trying to break it.

Everyone within the room quickly hurries down the corridor, presumably towards the safe room. But I notice that Luna Lucy heads down a different corridor.

Alpha Inga comes up and hugs me.

“Stay safe babe.” He says.

“You are too.”

“Babe, why do you have a recorder in your pocket?” Alpha inga asks me as he hugs me.

“I just had a feeling I needed to bring it with me today. Now go, I will make sure the pack house is clear and everyone is in the safe room.” I say, hugging Alpha Inga back before we split up.

I search the pack house from top to bottom and thankfully there is no one left. I make it back into the main room before I head down the same corridor Luna Lucy has headed down before, I can only hope that she is in the safe room by now.

I walk down the corridor, making sure that everyone is in the safe room when I hear whimpering and voices coming from behind the one to my right.

I walk over and put my ear to the door, trying to hear anything being said.

“Please, oh goddess please let my daughter go.” A woman cries, she sounds like the Luna.

“MUMMY!” I hear, and now I know that there is something going on behind this door that I will be interrupting.

I open the door and I am met with a horrifying sight.

“What the hell is going on here?” I demand.

Melanie is standing in the middle of the room with the Luna on her knees. Her face is tear stained and in Melanie’s hands is a little girl.

“Ah, sister dear. So glad that you could join us.” Melanie sneers.

“Please Goddess, help us.” The Luna begs me.

“What are you doing here Melanie?” I ask.

“I am here to cripple this pack, I thought that would be obvious.” Melanie replies sarcastically.

“Why are you and Eric doing this?” I ask.

“Because you made us omega slaves for fucks sake. You are my sister, how could you be so cruel?” Melanie wails.

“Me cruel? Have you looked in a mirror lately? Let me guess, you did and it broke. If I am cruel for punishing you, then what does that make you? You have behaved appallingly towards your own pack, and what you did to me beggars’ belief. Yet I still hoped you would change. But then again, you have been working with Eric from the beginning, haven’t you?” I ask, piecing the final part of the puzzle together.

“It was so easy to manipulate him and father. I want power, I want to control everything. And when I heard you were back from father, I couldn’t contain my joy. Eric told me what father said and I saw an opening to not only control this world, but the deities as well. And then I could become the head deity, be immortal and all powerful for eternity. I worked with Eric to take over a small group of rogues that were camped on our boarder, then from there we attacked packs and got stronger until we had built up an army. But then you came along and ruined it. You removed us as leaders and banished us to the omega house. Do you know how demeaning that is?” Melanie rants.

I knew Melanie was stupid, but to literally tell me her whole plan is just moronic. But at least I will have evidence that it was her and Eric at the helm of this, after all the recorder in my pocket has been going since I entered the room.

Melanie tightens her grip on the little girl, causing the girl to cry out.

“Mummy, please save me mummy.” The girl cries, tears falling from her face.

Luna Lucy kneels, just begging and pleading for her little girl.

“Let the little girl and the Luna go.” I say, trying to keep all emotion out of my voice when I am fuming.

“I don’t think so. I want what she has, besides why should this bitch have a child when I can’t? I don’t think that is fair, of you?”

“It is punishment for what you did, I was hoping you would have learnt your lesson, but I see that you will need to be taught even more.” I say.

Before Melanie can reply, I use my powers to create a powerful gust of wind to push Melanie against the wall. I had hoped that in her tumble she would have released the little girl, but luck it seems is not on my side.

“Good try dear sister, but not good enough.” Melanie taunts, getting her balance back and walking around the room.

I look around trying to work out her plan, but I don’t see what she is up to or after. The room is bare, it looks like it was once a storage room but now there is nothing in this room at all.

Melanie grabs the Lunas hair and drags her around the room with her. Once she is in reaching distance, I slap Melanie across the face.

“How dare you hit me?” Melanie shouts, kicking out at me.

I quickly grab her leg and make her stumble backwards, but her grip on the little girl does not waver.

The Luna also tries to grab her child, but she is unsuccessful.

“Leave her alone.” I say with power behind my words. I try to grab the little girl, but Melanie pushes the Luna in front of me and I get sprayed with red.

I look down and I can smell a metallic scent coming from the red stuff, I look up in shock and watch as the Luna grabs her throat. On her throat is a wound which covers the whole of the front of her throat, the blood is pouring and within seconds the Luna falls to ground dead.

“MOTHER!” the little girl cries.

Before I can move Melanie wraps her hands around the little girls’ throat and tightens her grip, rendering her unconscious. At first, I thought that the girl was dead but there is a faint heartbeat. I let out a sigh of relief, but I mask my face as it is clear that Melanie believes she has killed the girl.

“Haha! What are you going to do now?” Melanie asks tauntingly, dropping the little girls’ unconscious body onto the floor. “Both are dead.”

“How could you?” I cry.

“They deserved it, and you’re next.” Melanie replies.

“Die bitch, like the trash you are.” I shout at Melanie before a red mist descends.

The last thing I see is red as I rip Melanie apart, her screams and blood covering the room.
