No sooner is the Council done than I storm out with my immortal guards. “I need to get back to the humans.”

“Do you think it wise, given what just took place in there?” Ileana hisses.

Frumos clears his throat. At first, I think it’s because of how close she is to me, then I realize his attention is on someone else. Zeus. And his presence behind me.

Biting back a groan, I face my brother’s stormy expression. Too late, I catch on that his gaze is narrowed on me and Ileana.

“You have time for cavorting when my fate is in danger?”

“Melodrama doesn’t suit you, brother.” I roll my eyes. “And I much prefer leaving the cavorting to you.”

He ignores me, instead taking a step closer. “Tell me.”

Glancing over his shoulder, I watch Odin, Thor and Loki as they leave. I only catch a glimpse of their expressions, but they seem furious.

My voice is but a whisper when I say, “Odin knows more than he says. But I could not pick up what, exactly, is wrong. Morrigan’s suggestion seems best at this stage.”

Zeus clenches his jaw. “As usual, you’re utterly useless. Thanks for nothing, brother.”

He stomps away, and I do my best to shake off his ugly words.

I think Morrigan was right all along, and there is something much, much bigger going on here. But I’m not about to risk waiting to find out, not when I have amends to do.

A few deep breaths later, I pivot to my guards. “What just happened in there doesn’t matter. You can either come with me, or not.”

They share a look, and Ileana nods. She seems to have gotten over her earlier coolness around Frumos. “You go. I will try to find out more information about what has taken place, to ensure we are not blindsided.”

A few moments later, we emerge out of a portal again into the village. It’s daytime on Earth, and the village is empty as most humans go about their daily chores. I seek Persephone but don’t find her anywhere close.

Frumos on my heels, I head off into the fields. If she’s anywhere, I would imagine it is around there. Sure enough, I find her amid some women, picking berries and laughing with them.

Watching her, the way she carries herself, does something to me. I’ve never been part of the gods who fall non-stop for other goddesses and bed them. Doesn’t mean I haven’t had trysts, but it is what it is. With Persephone, something else draws me in. She’s so kind with humans, so grounded…

Perhaps that’s a big part of it. She, like my guards, constantly calls me out on my bullshit. And, of course, there’s the fact I need to know why she’s not adding to the chaos in my mind.

Sensing eyes on her, she stops her conversation and studies her surroundings. Her violet gaze finally settles on me a few moments later.

I’m not sure what to expect—will she get annoyed, seeing me here again, or will she come and talk to me?

After a moment of hesitation, she chooses the latter.
