The Unknown Lycan Princess - Chapter 87: Chapter 87

Third Person POV
Hecate watched as Beth disappeared from sight and then she turned on Hades with a fierce expression and said, “Who the hell did you send after the girl? Who are you working with?”
Hades smirked as he said, “Now now Hecate. What makes you think it was me who did anything?” Inwardly Hades was actually worried that she would figure out that he allowed a sect member to be loose in the spirit realm. He wasn’t exactly sure what they wanted, but he didn’t ask either. He was more into the ‘the less you know the better’ mindset. He did NOT want to incur the wrath of the other gods and he really didn’t have anything against Beth personally. He just wanted all the Lycan spirits he has been denied all these years. The sect has generously said that he could have half the souls. They were only interested in the warriors and Lupus.
“I could feel the darkness that had shrouded Beth and it was not an unfamiliar feeling to me. Hades how could you? What were you promised and by who? That young woman was separated from her newborn children for a lot longer than necessary because of you!” Hecate let out a frustrated breath after she spoke. She waited impatiently for Hades to start answering her questions. She saw that he was about to speak and she could tell by his mannerism that he was about to lie to her. She threw her arms in the air before he could even speak and said, “You know what? Nevermind. I will get to the truth that you refuse to say.”
Hades’ eyes widened and he tried to teleport away from her but she was much faster and anticipated his move. Hades found himself immobilized and he frantically tried to get himself out of Hecate’s path. He knew if she learned everything that he would be in a world of deeper crap than he was already.
Hecate placed her hands on either side of Hades’ head and let his thoughts flow through her. His memories were disturbing to her. The gods were all trying to figure out how the sect knew the information they did, and now she knew. She could also feel that he didn’t do it for malicious reasons. He thought he was helping his mate at the time. He didn’t know that with the little information he told that it would snowball into this situation here. Hecate sighed again as she released Hades from her grip.
“You could have come to us and we would have helped you with your mate. Does she even know? Seriously though you are not going to be getting those lycan souls any time soon. Did it ever occur to you that the souls they offered to you were going to be women and children that they would KILL!” Hecate said exasperatedly.
“What do you mean kill? Aren’t they all just spirits in the realm of the gods? They aren’t living anymore right? Their souls are just waiting to be released into new hosts. Right?” Hades asked frantically. He was all for getting souls that rightfully belonged to him, but he was not for a mass murder just to get them. He thought the gods just trapped the Lycan spirits in the realm, not the whole being. What has he done?
Hecate shook her head and said, “No Hades. They are all still alive. They haven’t aged and they can’t have new children. The children who were with them are still children. They have been trapped in an endless cycle of the same day over and over again until they can be released.”
“I didn’t know. I honestly didn’t know. I wouldn’t have done anything if I had known. I was just trying to help her get her revenge. I didn’t know. Please tell me I didn’t harm anyone?” Hades said dejectedly.
“No you didn’t directly. Who is your mate Hades? I couldn’t see that in your memories. How did you block that out from me?” Hecate replied.
“I didn’t block it from you, I blocked it from myself. I didn’t deserve her. Her soul is pure and I am tainted. I haven’t claimed her and I have blocked the matebond from her. She has no idea that I am her mate. It doesn’t matter now who my mate is. She will never forgive me for what I have started. I don’t deserve her.” Hades hung his head. He didn’t mean for any of this to happen. He just wanted to get the Lycans freed so that the soul of the man who tormented his mate could be punished. He wanted to get the souls that were meant to be his. He is a possessive god and he can’t help being a little childish and selfish. He was trapped in the Underworld ever since he could remember. His social skills are lacking to say the least. He thought that telling the alpha of the blue moon wolf pack at the time was a good idea. He could use his connections to find the heir to the Lycan throne and then in a few centuries the true heir would be born in the safety of the pack and all would be well. He thought he was helping his mate.
“Sierra is your mate isn’t she? Hades, you know you can still fix this. Yes you created a s**t storm, but the wrongs of the past can be righted. You just need to come clean to your mate and tell her EVERYTHING. I will take care of the other gods. I know you did not do this out of malice. What were they after with Beth here?”
“They were looking for the vial of tears, but they couldn’t find it. Beth stopped their chance when she found the bag of magic and halted the spell. When Beth left Sierra’s the last time they saw that she was given the vial and they waited until she was further from Sierra’s to knock her out and search her. They didn’t find it though which is why it took so long for Beth to come out of the spell. They were angered and placed a heavier sleeping spell on her.” Hades said with a thoughtful expression. “I wonder what she did with it though. If it wasn’t on her did she lose it? Or…” Hades was interrupted by Hecate’s laughter.
“Clever clever girl. Beth must have transported it magically to a hidden location after she got it. I knew I liked her. She is smart and reminds me of myself.” Hecate beamed with pride as she thought of Beth.
“So what do we do now?” Hades asked.
“WE, won’t be doing anything. YOU will go to your mate and tell her what has transpired and ALL of it Hades. Let the woman make up her own mind. I will go to Zeus and explain what has happened and why. Beth was not harmed so I don’t think a harsh punishment will be given, but I can’t guarantee no punishment will happen.” Hecate said with some sympathy to Hades. He is an i***t, but he didn’t purposefully hurt anyone. She nodded to Hades before she disappeared. Hades sighed and he too disappeared. He was going to talk to Sierra and hopefully he hadn’t ruined any chances he had with his mate.
Meanwhile in the mortal realm
The energy ball was traveling to its target, the young wolf pup on the floor. It was like time stood still as four sets of eyes watched on. Three of those eyes watched in horror as the other looked on in triumph until a white light blinded everyone in the room and as the light dimmed stood before Link was Beth holding the energy ball in her hand.
“You dare try to harm my pup! You have messed with the wrong child.” Beth said menacingly. She extinguished the energy ball instantly and waved her hand towards the witch. In succession a hundred tiny specks flew towards the witch and all that could be heard was the screams coming from her mouth as tiny slashes appeared all over her body. As the witch collapsed on the ground passed out from the pain three other people ran into the room expecting a battle but found only the remnants of one.
Beth quickly turned around and picked up Link’s wolf form and snuggled him to her chest as a soft glowing yellow light wrapped around him. Slowly his body shifted back to his human form and his eyes slowly opened up. His bright eyes met with Beths and he quickly squealed in delight that his mama was back. Soon Alexi and Ethan were wrapping their arms around their mate and pup.
“What happened here?” Beth said in a low calm voice.
