Chapter Eight

June looked thoughtful, after I’d told her everything I’d seen, thought, and decided.

“I want to come with you, when you go see that god and plumb his mind.”

I nodded, “Sure. I plan to use the stealth power. Hopefully we can walk in, delve his memories, and then walk out with no one the wiser.”

June tilted her head, “The witches that contracted to the police for enchantments and support probably have wherever he is warded to the gills. Still, it might work. I’m also starting to think our culprit isn’t Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades.”

I frowned, “Why?”

June said, “Because you said the one that’s behind it isn’t part of the attack. Zeus could destroy cities with air and storm, Poseidon with tidal waves, and Hades is strong enough to swallow a city into the Earth and bury them all alive. I can’t imagine anyone that pissed off at humanity and wanting to end the world, not taking part in the slaughter. Much less depending on lesser supernatural beings such as witches and shifters.”

She paused a moment to let that sink in, and now that she’d said it, it was an obvious point in hindsight.

“Which means our culprit probably doesn’t have a martial or destructive power. They have no active power of destruction. Which means it’s probably Hera, Hestia, Aphrodite, or Demeter. Family, hearth, love, or agriculture and harvest. The primordial gods would have powerful offensive powers as well, I think, and would’ve participated in the destruction.”

That was hard to imagine because of their positive mantels as goddesses, but I supposed it was possible. Hell hath no fury and all that, and if they were abused and broken, or had been radicalized in some way, the powers and mantel hitting them could’ve caused them to go even crazier.

“Sexy.”

She giggled, “You find my intuitive intelligence sexy?”

“I find all of you sexy, but yes.”

She smirked, her eyes warm, “I’ll go make lunch, while you fetch the witch? Then after lunch we’ll go to New York?”

She wasn’t trying to dictate, just reciting my earlier decisions. I think she just wanted to be sure I wouldn’t go off without her and leave her behind.

I nodded, “That’s the plan.”

She got up and leaned down to kiss me, then headed into the house with a bounce in her step and a lovely sway of her ass. She grinned hugely over her shoulder, when she caught me staring at her legs and gorgeous heart-shaped ass in that red bikini bottom. Her cute blush and giggle warmed me as she went inside and shut the door. It was heady, just how potent of an effect my mere attention and simple compliments had on her.

I no longer feared taking that for granted either, because all it did was evoke a possessive affection in me, and a strong desire to give her everything she wanted and needed. I suspected our bond through our powers would even prevent me from accidentally neglecting her over time, because like her cry for help that first
