Was it a concern for my brother? Who knows. However, I had a feeling he was worried if my brothers choking was a warning of sorts.
"Hate to break it to you, but I haven't been a virgin for a long fucking time. So tell me how you tricked my grandmother into fucking you and then making sure she couldn't remember." Crossing my arms over my chest, I leaned back into my seat, staring down Odin as he stared at me with an irritated expression.
"They were right when they said you had fire, Cassie."
A scoff escaped me as I rolled my eyes. "People don't know shit about me."
"So you think."
Laughing, I stared at him in disbelief. "So I know, Odin. Now why are you deflecting the question? Do you not have an answer the rest of us would care to hear?"
Freya stood to her feet as her eyes looked to me with disappointment, but before she could move, Odin grabbed her wrist gently and stopped her. "She wants to know so I'll tell her."
With a heavy sigh, Freya took her seat at the same time Odin snapped his fingers as a nearby servant brought a pitcher of amber liquid to which they poured into his horn. "I spent time on earth, but not long. While I was down there, I spotted a beautiful woman with beautiful eyes. I wanted her, but I saw she was with another and so I took his form and made love to her—"
Was he being fucking serious?! He basically lied and deceived my grandmother without her consent. What the fuck!
"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Cutting him off this time, he slammed his hand down upon the table causing it to shake.
Spinning around to glare at him, I laughed. "You don't have a right to speak to me, Pollux. It's your fault I lost control trying to stop you and fucking Lucas from killing each other and in the end, Melissa died while I was trying to do the right thing. Some kind of Alpha you're going to be. You can't even keep your anger in check."
I may have gone overboard on both of them, but I had a right to be angry.
Yes, I was the one who pulled the metaphorical trigger in the end but that was only because I was trying to do the right thing, and as ironic as my life was, I should have known no good would come from the powers Odin's wild night passed down to me.
Fuck them if they thought I was going to follow directions.
I'd burn Asgard to the ground before that happened.
