It was never going to go anywhere.I felt the pain in my heart and ignored it.Rowan is the king…and I just want to help him stay king.
Nix and Megan nodded, thankfully ignoring the pain I was still feeling about Rowan.I think he was always going to be a sore spot for me.Megan jumped in.We know, but Erubus made us realize how badly we hurt you. He feels the same about Rowan. So we made an agreement.Nix nodded.
Which was?I sat there in disbelief.
That we wouldn’t interfere with any of your relationships. You love who you love. While we hope you would ask for our opinions if or when you ever met Thoth in real life. We didn’t point out how your relationship was changing.Nix looked between Megan and me.
Erubus said that after Verity is dealt with, he will do the same, but right now, he’s not allowing her to even speak to him.
I snorted.She must be pissed.
Megan nodded.She’s been using a lot of magic on Rowan. Erubus spends most of the day feeding him the truth to clear the confusion. Thankfully, Rowan is a smart man.
What do you mean?
He had your dad separate Erubus from him.Megan looked about to the forest.
What the hell does that mean?
We are all connected. What effects one, effects both of us. That’s why we had to carve the rune into all of us. If we had left Megan to drain, she would drain the two of us. Right?Nix offered, and I nodded.
Right.
Well, Rowan had your dad separate him and Erubus, temporarily. So if something happens to him, like someone using magic on him. It doesn’t affect his wolf. So that if he gets confused or swayed, his wolf can tell him the truth.
We’re getting off topic.Megan sighed.What matters is that we all agreed to allow you both to make your own decisions regarding your love life. If you find your mates, then we will support it. But if you decide to choose someone…Megan looked off to the side.
Then we will do our best to support the relationship.Nix finished.Even if it’s just online.She chuckled as she turned away and headed back to the forest.Think about what we said. And answer him back before he kills himself trying to save you.
I sat back, watching the grey curser flashing on the screen. I needed to answer him, but I was still a little lost on how to approach him. It’s still weird knowing that Thoth is a man. When my dad introduced us, it was just vague information. Thoth will help you. No gender. No name other than user name. I asked over and over, but he stayed quiet.
We talked about computers at first. But then our conversations grew deeper. He asked about my day, complained about his own. It wasn’t until I joked with him about telling Brandon that he was a human female that he finally cracked and told me he was a man. Another Alpha my father was friends with. One he had grown close to from overseas.
I shook my head to clear it. Whatever feelings I did or didn’t have for Thoth would have to wait. I wouldn’t approach any relationship until everything had been handled.
NixtheGoddess:Hey. I’m alive. Vince had captured me for a few days, but I got out. I’m at work. I have a full day, but I will do a full debrief tonight with you and my father. We have to plan.
I hit send and almost immediately, there was a response.
Thoth:Tonight at nine. Not a minute later.
NixtheGoddess:Okay. I’ll make sure I am home and ready. Did you want to do a group chat or just us?
Thoth:While I would love to monopolize your time, we don’t have time for that. Your father has heard some rumblings. And I think you have a lot more for us. Mainly, how did Vince capture you and not recognize you?
NixtheGoddess: Some things are harder to explain…but if my dad vouches for you…I have to explain everything to him, too.
Thoth:Deal.
I logged out of our chat and sent my dad an email.
Hey Dad!
I’m not dead. Video call nine tonight with Thoth. I think we have to lay everything out and make our final plans.
Love you,
Amy
