He wanted this more than anything. He wanted to be done with her.
And yet… at the last moment, he pounced at a different white bear, knowing very well that it wasn’t her.
However, when he was done with that one and turned to look for Brigit again, he saw her fighting her own kind. He saw how many other white bears followed her lead.
This could have been their turning point now….
However, he did not see his King or his Queen. Moreover, the Western Lycan King was gone as well. And all this did not promise anything good.
Riannon was expecting the Serpent. It was the only reason why she wasn’t on the battlefield now, and she was happy that she had interpreted yet another vision of hers correctly. However dangerous that was.
The Serpent needed answers, but so did she. And Ria knew she would be safe until he got what he wanted. Maybe even later if she played that right.
“Welcome, Joran,” the Luna hopped off the desk she was sitting on as the intruder took in the empty room, and an understanding smile curled his l!ps.
“So, you’ve been expecting me,” the deity brushed his hand through his dark blonde hair and sneered at the Western Queen. “It’s for the best, I guess. Saves us time.”
“And lives,” Riannon added, remembering her first vision of this encounter. In her dream, the deity K*lled several people to clarify his point. Luckily, Riannon already learned that knowledge was power and that with its help, she could alter the future. She had done it before, and she was doing it now.
“I was probably in a worse mood in your visions,” the man chuckled. “I hate having to explain the obvious. This is why I think we would work great together. You already know everything I want to ask. So, why don’t you just give it to me.”
“I wouldn’t say so,” she shrugged nonchalantly, biding for time. “My visions are usually very hectic and leave more questions than answers.”
“I’d still take everything you have to tell me, Seer,” Joran insisted.
“Well, I know you are not getting that firstborn,” Ria arched her brow at the man that was now too close to her. “He is already promised to someone else.”
“Who?” the Serpent gritted his teeth.
“I think deep inside you know your answer.” This time it was her time for understanding smiles.
“We’ll have to see about that. I have broken many prophecies before. I am sure I will find a way to break this one too.” Joran slowly walked around the room, not watching Riannon at all. He was more interested to see the monitors and what was on them now. A smirk.
appeared on his face when he noticed how many of them were not working anymore. “Excuse me for destroying your drones,” he said, returning his attention back to the Luna in front of him. She was now within his reach but did not try to escape him. Which both amused him and concerned him, “I was aiming for the birds. It was a good idea to involve them, by the way. Yours?”
“Savannah’s,” Riannon answered, tilting her head slightly. It was the first time she was this close to what could be considered a God.
Her empathic nature could feel waves of power radiating from him. It was stronger than anything she could have imagined, but she tried to restrain the fear. She knew he would be able to smell it otherwise.
“I think this was enough of small talk,” the Serpent insisted lazily, but she could feel how agitated he was. “Give me the information.
I want, and I will let you live.”
“As I have already told you, it doesn’t work like that for me.” Rhiannon tried to stay calm. Everything depended on her self-control now.
“Perform Seidhrthen!” the man snapped at her.
“If only I knew what that is.” Ria had no idea what he was talking about, but she was curious. Very curious.
“Lucky for you, I’m a great teacher,” Joran sneered, but the woman in front of him furrowed her brows as he backed her into a desk, cutting her ways of escaping.
“Fine.” She held her head high and met his gaze differently. The Queen that she was, she wasn’t going to grovel before him; she wasn’t going to give up or beg for mercy. She was going to profit from this. “Lucky for you, I’m eager to learn.”
“Admirable,” he muttered under his breath and grabbed her hand, pulling the Luna closer. “It’s going to be an exp**ss lesson. Seidhr is ancient magic that goddess Freyja herself used to see the future with. And sometimes alter it. Yes, some visions come naturally to Seers like you, and I bet the connection bet**en the Moon Goddess and your wolf helps a lot.
I can see it with my eyes closed. But often, if you need answers to particular questions, and the answers don’t come easily, there is another way. Fast and foolproof.”
“Seidh,” Riannon repeated the word she had heard for the first time in her life. This wasn’t something Selene taught her wolf, but she knew she had to try it. Because she craved answers just as much as Joran did.
“What do I have to do?” she asked, tensing slightly.
“There are different ways to perform seidhr,” the Serpent chuckled darkly, taking her chin into his hand. “Most require close
contact. A k!ss or interc0urse-”
“Hard pass,” the Luna yanked her face away in disgust. She couldn’t imagine anyone other than Gideon touching her.
“Was worth a try,” Joran snorted. “If we are this picky, then I guess I can spare some blood of mine for you to consume.”
