The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 84

Eighty-Three: Reassessing the Situation

Unknown

I knew we were gonna have to get rid of Penthesilea and Phlegyas. They had become too much of a liability. In all honesty, we should have gotten rid of them after they killed that witch all those years ago. They were a good distraction from us. I had the werebears befriend them and think they did them a favour when the bears were already part of the plot. The original plan was well thought out, and it took us an entire year to decide who would carry the child. Of course, it had to be Aphrodite. She is well known for having girls and we needed a girl to be able to control and possibly give us children. What we didn’t take into consideration was mixing all that power into one child. We also didn’t think anyone would find out about our plan. Penthesilea and Phlegyas apparently had big mouths and fucking Dimitri and Dominick found out. Of course, none of us knew they had added other things into our mix. We also didn’t realize that all that power would be too much for one child. We should have stopped there and waited, but after two weeks we figured it didn’t work and tried again. Well, what a surprise when Aphrodite gave birth to triplets. We were also shocked when one turned out to be a boy. Unfortunately, we couldn’t just swoop in and take them. By now, the gods and many others had figured out what Penthesilea and Phlegyas did, and those three kids became very hard to get around. We sat back and watched to see what would happen. We could tell from the time that those three were born that they had powers. What was extremely shocking to us was how powerful the two girls turned out to be. None of this came to light until they became teenagers. As soon as their full powers were realized, we knew that controlling them was pretty much out of the question. We, however, did keep track of them. When all that shit with Dimitri and Dominick's pack went down, that’s when I realized that we were going to have a problem with them. We were there in the shadows when they wiped that family from existence. I am a demon, and I fear nothing, but what I saw those women do that day scared the fucking shit out of me. You could feel the power in the air, and it was as if time stopped. I felt like I was watching everything in slow motion.

“Hey, what has you so far away though?” She asks me.

I look at her and smile. She is so beautiful, and she is mine. She was kicked out of heaven, and while I know she would like to go back, she can’t. I guess when you fall in love with a demon, it is highly frowned upon and gets you kicked out.

“Just thinking of the past,” I tell her.
