And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie) novel Chapter 253

"Again, Kara, please get to the point," I replied, pinching the bridge of my nose in annoyance.

"As I was saying," she sighed heavily. "Your children aren't normal. They belong to the realm of the gods with the powers they possess and will grow into one day. This is the concern Odin has about his grandchildren."

I was too stunned at what she was saying to speak, but Hale was not.

Turning to face her, I watched him cock a brow with his jaw clenched in anger. "No. I don't care what Odin wants, but that will not happen."

As Kara's eyes turned towards him, she raised her own brow and laughed. "You have no say in that, Hale. It's what is being demanded."

I had no clue what the hell they were talking about, but the more they talked in code, the more I felt aggravated by it all. "Do either of you care to explain what the fuck is going on? Because I'm tired of this bullshit."

Both Hale and Kara turned their attention toward me. Kara's face seemed to look disgusted because I wasn't keeping up with the current conversation, whereas Hale simply sighed in a frustrated manner and started pacing around the room.

"What she's trying to say in not so many words is that she feels the twins would do better in an environment where they could travel back and forth between our realms."

Taking a moment to let what Hale said sink in, I contemplated the idea of them traveling back and forth between realms as they got older. It honestly wouldn't be the worst thing for them and if they had the abilities their mother did, then there was a lot that they could learn.

"I don't see what's wrong with them traveling back and forth. Oden's their grandfather, after all, and they have a family there with Frigga and Kara. It would be beneficial if they have these powers to learn from people who can help. Of course, when they're older, that is."

My reply seemed to shock Hale, but the look on Kara's face spoke of something else. She was amused by what was going on, but said nothing to voice this.

"Hale, you don't really have a say in this. Odin has demanded that they be brought to us. They don't belong in this world. They are celestials… you all are not. Even Ivy isn't considered part of our world anymore. She may have the blood of a celestial running through her veins, but that is it," Kara replied.

I couldn't wrap my hand around it. Kara actually thought she could come in here and take my children… and Odin… he was willing to do this to his daughter?

What kind of father would do that regardless if the children were special?

I couldn't let it happen. I had to stop her from destroying us.

"I don't give a fuck what Odin says. We are not allowing you to take our children. They're babies, and their mother is unconscious upstairs. How would you feel if you woke up to see that your children were gone?" I snapped at her.
