Author's Note:

I am adding this song again, and will continue to add it for a while because it holds the key to what is coming next... it is setting the atmosphere for the climax... Like in the chapter before, I asked you guys what do you think this song inspires, still didn't get many answers!

Enjoy the chapter!

"Rage"

*Meadow*

To watch them both together was to see light and darkness married together; he was gentle and soft with her, and she seemed to control his every move even though his arms were the ones around her. A powerful sight to anyone looking at them.

Amra was in content, perhaps he respected their union and was pleased that no blood had to be spilled. I wasn't going to give my husband as a treat to that vampyr anyway. Maybe I wouldn't stand a chance, but at least I would die defending what is mine.

'So you are claiming me now?' Caleb's words and chuckle make an echo in my head.

I frown but then chuckle at my own words. 'I thought it was clear you were mine after I marked you...'

He smiles and his arms wrap around me. He shifted not long ago, and our Goddess smiled to him softly when he did. 'I was yours since the moment I saw you... I knew I could never get away from you...'

I blush and lean against him, tilting my head to kiss his cheek. 'And even before I knew why I was feeling so attracted to someone I've never met before... I was already simply yours...'

He kisses my neck and I close my eyes smiling, he knows the spot that makes me shiver. A cough from Aen makes us both smile and look at him. He rolls his eyes as he looks at us then tilts his head to our Gods. They are watching us.

Amra and Caliope walk closer to us. "They are curious about you both, well he seems to be more curious than her. She is happy." He says.

"How do you know what they are feeling or thinking?" I ask.

"We are made of the same fabric, we are different but equally powerful," He answers.

I walk toward our Goddess and she gives me a soft smile. 'What are you doing, love?' Caleb asks.

"Where were you? Why didn't you help us before?" I ask her out loud.

The vampyr growls menacingly to me as if I would get scared. But I am taken by a strange rage and I want answers. Caleb growls back and I know this is not going to be peaceful.

"Nch teroth minch kish Moone!" The vampyr says with a threatening tone.

Aen gives a step closer to us and stands between me and them. "Meadow, don't do anything stupid. He is thirsty, and he wants blood... but he is calm because he has his soulmate with him... your goddess is our god's mate."

I already figured that much, it was hard not to when she showed up and walked to his arms. "I have nothing to do with him, I am talking to her," I say and push him to the side. As I look at her, what bothers me the most, is her smile and calmness. "My children were in danger... they almost lost their lives... where were you when these... entities tried to devour our children? Your children?!" I say with frustration and a tear falls down my face.

Then everything happens fast; Caleb shifts and growls loudly and when I look towards where he is, just at my left side, I realize that the vampyr has his fangs out and is only a step away from me. Claws as fingers are almost an inch to my face. I closed my eyes and everything froze.

I took a deep breath, I had to rethink my actions. What was I doing?! Why was I challenging my own Goddes?! And to add more, I am provoking her mate to a point of him trying to harm me.

'Love... open your eyes... breathe... say something...' I hear Caleb's voice in my head and my eyes snap open.

Our Goddess was between me and the vampyr; her hand on his face, her body shielding me. What have I done?

*Solveig*

We felt the commotion and that is why we all rushed to our parents. My brothers arrive seconds before me but I worry at the scene in front of us. There is a beautiful creature standing in front of my mother, and a dark creature behind her.

I try to process what is happening but the woman looks at Aeneas' brother, Cyrus, and there is a change in the atmosphere. I know he has powers, abilities to control other creatures' powers. Is he trying to do that?

I rush to my mother and my brothers walk behind me this time, I slide my arms around her waist and pull her gently to me, forcing her to back down. She follows me step by step, and my father takes her place. His wolf is menacing.

'Ian...' I send it to him and he nods mentally. 'If he tries something, you know what to do...'

My brother nods as he stands on my left, Xavier is standing on my right also ready. We only did this once, when we were kids, but we know it works. We team and tackle our enemy, physically and mentally. Ian always ready to manipulate emotions, while Xavier does the physical work. But I rather not do this now, today. Not to those who should be fighting with us.

My mother seems a bit dizzy as she walks back with me, Zana and Dana quickly rush to help me with her. My father is showing his teeth. And my bothers join him as they shift and stand on his side.

How did things turn out this bad?

*Meadow*

The last thing I remember was the big show I made in front of everyone. I can't believe I behaved that way. But I still don't understand why I fainted.

As I wake up, I look around me and I see my Sol sleeping on the couch. I get up slightly but feel dizzy again. The door opens and Caleb rushes to my side, kneeling next to me. "Don't rush into anything, take your time love."

Sol wakes up and smiles at me. "Mother, you had us dead worried..." Then she hushes after Caleb looks at her.

"What is wrong?" I ask as I perk a brow. Caleb helps me sit on the bed and I look at the window, it is day already. "You both better start talking, now."

I feel Caleb's gentle touch on my hand soothing me, but I still am upset that they seem to be hiding something from me. Sol gets up and walks to the door. "Sorry, mother. I will bring you something to drink."

I look at Caleb with a million questions. 'You promised... the truth, always...'

He sighs and rubs my hand slowly. 'You were behaving strangely...' He says and I nod, I can't deny that. I recognize it. 'But last night you pushed many limits... Aen was able to sense it... you had something in you that was unusual... he told me this just after you fainted. I almost lost it to those Gods, or whatever they are... but I came to you and our Goddess took her mate away... The important thing is how you are feeling now..."

I ponder briefly and I do feel ok, nothing out of the ordinary. 'Checked, I am fine, go on...'

He nods and smiles. 'Everything has an explanation... and believe me, it is simpler than you might have thought... Meadow, my love, my princess... we are pregnant'.
