"Thank you for the food and drink, cutie" I said while giving Darius a kiss on his cheek.

"If that's how you show your appreciation, I will feed you anytime." Darius stated emphasizing the I.

"I will hold you to that" I replied.

"Now" I stated. "First question."

"Anything you want to know, one of us will answer." Persephone promised.

"Exactly where are we, and don't tell me we are in 'Alpha's' castle." I qualified.

"Well let's start from here" Darius concurred.

"You are, in fact in my castle. In a different realm. We left the human realm." He continued.

"So is this like one of those mystical realms you read about in fairytales: full of fairies, dragons, vampires, witches, elves, griffins and werewolves?" I asked with interest.

The room got still as everyone smiled.

"Do you believe everything you read in fairytales?" Alejandro questioned.

"Don't laugh! But, yeah I do. I figure if Heaven and Earth exist, why not fairytales." I shrugged.

"Oh, this is gonna be delightful" Alejandro stated.

"Have you ever dreamed of being in a fairytale?" Ethan asked.

"Everyday of my life" I sighed.

Darius arms wrapped tightly around me and he placed his fingers beneath my chin to make me look him directly in the eye.

"Bippity, Boppity, Boop!" Bryan laughed out.

"Ah is Bryan my Fairy God Mother?" I laughed.

Bryan snorted.

"You had that coming Bryan" Persephone wheezed out.

"I will give you that one" Bryan chuckled.

"How about this, I'm not a child." I said "Just lay all this shit bare and let's go from there."

"She's raw as fuck" Ethan claimed.

"Ok, so We are Dieties" Serriphina explained.

"We are the council in charge of the Supernatural world. Each of us governs our species." Alejandro continued.

Diety Serriphina - Goddess of Vampires.
Diety Alejandro - God of Mages.
Diety Katerina - Goddess of Fairies.
Diety Mekhal - God of Dragoons.
Diety Persephone - Goddess of the moon.

"Got it! Dieties fucking rock!" I deadpanned.

"Persephone? Does that put you in charge of a species. And, where is Katerina?" I asked.

"I govern the Children of the Moon, otherwise known as Werewolves. And Katerina is in the Fairy Realm. She only comes to the Heavens when absolutely necessary." Persephone declares.

"So which one of you is in charge of theses sexy creatures?" I point to the Greek Gods who have been laughing all night.

"Technically Persephone but Darius is their Leader." Alejandro qualifies.

"So I'm hanging out with Gods, Goddesses and Werewolves!" I say "Yep, I'm the cool kid!"

Everyone chuckles.

"You are handling this magnificently parvulus" Darius coos.

"Well, considering you guys must all be immortals, and you have been creeping on me, I'm sure you know my story." I quipped.

"We do know a lot about you. We have been watching you for 17 years." Persephone says.

"The whole 17 or like off and on?" I ask. "Im not mad, just curious why you have been wasting your time." I shrugged.

"Don't ever say we wasted our time. We have been honored to witness your journey. You have surprised us all." Alejandro corrected.

"What do you mean?" I asked genuinely curious.

"I was summons by the other Dieties one night after a very disturbing incident when you were four. I came to check on you when They witnessed your tormentor hurting all of your siblings and yourself." Persephone whispered.

I winced. I remember that night like it was today.

Darius started running his fingers up and down my arms, eliciting that familiar electricity.

"That feels incredible" I whispered.

"Don't stop!" I demanded.

"Not until you make me, will I stop." Darius promised.

"You're gonna get tired." I crooned.

"I can't see that ever being the case parvulus." He whispered.

"After investigating the evidence, I broke protocol and Enchanted you Aubrey." Persephone continued.

"What's that? Enchanting?" I asked.

"I sealed your fate, as a chosen one. I'm sorry. I should have given you a choice." Persephone sounded deflated.

"Did you do it for me or for you?" I asked.

"That's an odd question." Serriphina interrupted.

"It's just I don't like people doing for me, I prefer to help others" I clarified.

"Well, to be honest, this is to help us both." Persephone admitted.

"I can live with that!" I promised.

"So what is an Enchantment?" I asked again.

"I enchanted you to become an immortal. I have chosen a mate, like a soulmate for you. And, you will have great power. But, with great power comes great responsibility." Persephone continued.

"So I will be immortal. I can live with that. And you will give me someone to love?" I asked.

"Yes, I have hand selected him for you." Persephone promised.

I jumped straight out of Darius arms.

"Sorry, Darius. I can't go cheating on my mate. I have morals." I affirmed.

Darius busted out laughing.

"Would you be okay if I finished the enchantment now? Or would you like to ask more questions?" Persephone asked.

"I think it's important for me to know a few more answers and then we can move along." I offered.

"Very intuitive" Mekhal stated.

"So, what are my responsibilities? What can I give you in appreciation for all you have offered me?" I asked.

"You are a beautiful spirit. You have an endless amount of compassion. Your heart is absolutely pure. You have faced trials and tribulations that were unfairly expected of you. You have suffered loss tragically. And these things may have broken another soul. But, thru all you have faced, you sit before eight strangers easing their burden of grief." Mekhal chanted.

"Are you guys sad, I'm sorry. I have been hogging up the attention. Let's talk about you. I'm here. Im a great listener." I declared.

"Oh my heavens, she can't be anymore perfect." Alejandro cried.

"Sweetheart?" Darius called.

"Gonna have to stick to Aubrey, babe. I got a mate." I winked.

Everyone laughed hard as fuck.

"Fair enough" Darius rolled his eyes.

"I swear the amusement in Darius eyes is baffling. That's the second time I turned that Greek God down. I don't want to, he is scrumptious but, I'm gonna trust Persephone on this one. " I thought to myself.

"Ahem" Darius chokes out.

"What?" I shrugged.

"You are really bad at keeping your thoughts to yourself parvulus" Darius laughed.

"Well fucking hell." I said with a wink. "It's not like you all don't know how gorgeous you are!"

Everyone was laughing again.

"So what's got you blue friends? Can I call you friends? I feel like we are bonding. I like you guys." I asked.

"You can definitely call us friends." Mekhal agreed.

"We aren't sad for us. We have been grieving for you, sweet angel." Jackson attested.

"Why?" I asked confused.

A soft raspy cough echoed thru the room as a new woman, I had not met, walked into the room.

All eyes turned to her as she glided across the room like a super model strutting the cat walk.

"Wow!" I squealed.

"You are some sort of beautiful" I fanned myself.

"Thank you Aubrey. You are quite easy on the eyes yourself." The stunning woman replied.

"Katerina" Alejandro exhaled.

"My love, I have missed you" he crooned while sweeping her into a searing kiss.

"Ok love birds" Serriphina quipped.

"I am Deity Katerina - Goddess of Fairies." She stated.

"That would explain your fluttering wings" I interjected.

"I have watched you for 17 years as well." Katerina proclaimed.

"You have?" Everyone looked baffled as we spoke in unison.

"Well yes! She is amazing." Katerina assures.

"Thank you" I whispered. "You're too kind"

"We could all say the same for you, Aubrey" Ethan piped up.

"I'm just a girl, no more no less." I confirmed.

"You asked Why we were grieving. Am I correct?" Katerina questioned.

"Yes, I would like to understand." I confirmed.

"Like we said, for 17 years, off and on, we have watched you grow. We have witnessed the torrential hell you have lived thru. We grieved while you cried for your mother, your grandmother and even your tormentor. And, yesterday we grieved for you, for the loss of your child." Katerina explained.

Tears seeped from my eyes, as the momentarily lost grief dug it's way back into my soul. I wiped them relentlessly from my eyes to keep from hurting my friends.

"You can cry sweetie, it's okay." Katerina was now embracing me gently.

"I'm sorry, I just forgot to remember that I lost her for a few hours." I cried.

"No, baby. Don't feel that way. You are the one who deserves to cry more than any of us." Darius cooed.

I let that name slide given the circumstances.

"I'm ok. But, let's not dwell on it. Please. I want to become one of your chosen ones." I stated.

"Please fill me in on my duties." I begged.

"As we were saying, you, Aubrey Winters are the Angel of Compassion, the Warrior of Atonement and Peace. You will not have but one rule to follow." Persephone proclaims.

"This rule will come natural to you, you must always put other's success above your own. Lead with compassion, follow your intuition and forgive when you deem fit." Serriphina announced.

"I can do this!" I exclaimed.

"Yes you can!" Nine voices echoed.

"A few more questions and I will be ready. Is that okay? I requested.

"The floor is yours." Darius confirmed.

"What's an Alpha?" I asked.

"I'm the leader of my pack. Jackson is my Beta, second in command. Ethan is the Gamma, he is third. And Bryan, is a Delta. He is the fourth in command of our pack and our Lead Warrior." Darius explained.

"Now was that so hard?" I rolled my eyes.

"No sweetheart it wasn't." Darius replied.

"Ugh, you won't stop will you?" I cut my eyes at Darius.

"Sorry parvulus, I can't. It's against my nature." He confirmed.

"Well, moving on, when an Alpha finds a mate what is her role in the pack?" I asked.

"A normal Alpha has a Luna, she acts as a mother to the pack. However, as a King, yo- I mean she will be both Luna and a Queen. My equal." He clarified.

"Well, that wraps up our question and answer portion of today's segment." I finalized.

"Oh, Aubrey, you are a gem." Katerina squealed.

"Oops, one last question please." I pleaded.

No one stopped me.

"Um, this is a little greedy and it's a bit of a request, but feel free to say no." I qualified.

"What is it you need, angel?" Alejandro questioned.

"Well, I really already love it here." I claimed.

"So, is there anyway I can be a werewolf?" I begged.

"Oh child, yes. I already have your wolf picked too." Persephone clapped.

I pumped my fist in the air. These peeps are alright in my book.

"So if your ready we will finish the enchantment." Mekhal promised.

"Never been more ready in my life." I confessed.
