Chapter Twenty-Six

Such beautiful eyes. Like the ocean under a mid-day sun. Bright green, translucent and streaked with deep blue. Although they could get stormy, it could rain in those eyes and sometimes there was even lightning within them. I sighed.

“Vervain?” I focused on his lips as he said my name. Strong lips, lips that used to kiss my own, once upon a time. “Vervain?”

“Huh?” I shook myself out of my reverie.

“Did you hear me?” Thor asked, looking a little concerned.

“No, I'm sorry,” I flushed and realized I'd been fantasizing about him again. It was getting ridiculous. I'd just made love to an angel and a werelion, we'd shared a holy communion. Thor shouldn't have held any kind of fascination for me and yet there I sat, zoning out on him like a smitten teenager. “I'm a little tired.”

“I said,” he frowned at me, looking seriously confused, “since you can use the goggles to keep an eye out for the spider, couldn't you use them to find him, watch him from a distance, and determine where his base of operations is?”

“Oh,” I sat up straighter, “yeah that's a great idea. You're brilliant!” I clamped a hand over my mouth before I could gush over him any further.

“What the hell is wrong with you?” Persephone whispered to me with wide eyes.

“I don't know,” I whispered back.

“Well stop it,” she glanced at Thor, who was glaring at us, along with Kirill, Trevor, and Odin.

“I'm trying.”

“Are you two quite done with the whispering teenage girls routine?” Horus asked with a bored air.

“Just about,” I stuck my tongue out at him.

“I really think some of us should go in with you this time,” Trevor pushed aside the banter.

“To what purpose,” I shook my head. “It's a covert mission and now that I know to use the goggles, we don't have to worry about a confrontation.”

“Yes,” Finn made a face at me, “but you inevitably find ways to fuck up the best laid plans.”

“Hey,” I made a face back at him.

“It's kind of accurate,” Odin shrugged.

“Oh not you too,” I looked over at him, aghast.

“Mom, I'd feel better if someone else went with you,” Vidar added as he flung his long black hair over his shoulder in a very feminine gesture.

“No fair,” I pointed a finger at him, “using the son card. Have you all forgotten the imps? They may be small but they're fire fey and they're bad ass. Not to mention, inside the Inter Realm, they're even more formidable. I really have all the back up I need.”

“Thank you, my Queen,” Meilyr nodded proudly.

“Fine,” Trevor waved a hand in a frustrated manner. “Take your fey and leave your god friends behind, Vervain.”

“What the fuck, Trevor?” I gaped at my alpha lover.

“Ever since you started going into Faerie, we've started to lose you, bit by bit you're becoming more fey and less goddess,” Trevor growled.

“This is a hell of a conversation to start now,” I felt my blood start to heat. “And you've forgotten that I'm human too.
