Ros twitched in his chair as Ellea and his father laughed at an inside joke to his left. Ellea sat to his fatherâs right; apparently, the seat sheâd had since her arrival. Billy sat to his left with Garm by her side. Sam and Devon were at the end, but never forgotten. Asmodeus had dragged them into any conversation going around the table or asked them about their lives, their fears, their wishes⦠Ros grimaced. This was not the father he remembered.
Maybe Ellea has rubbed off on him, Garm noted.
Ros glared at him over his glass. No amount of time with Ellea could change his father.
You donât think she has changed you? Garm remarked with an arched brow.
He could hear the tsk in his voice. Yes, she had changed him, but he was⦠Ros let out a breath.
He was being an ass and underestimating Ellea. Again.
âDid they ever find the soul Ellea freed?â Devon asked.
Ellea and his fatherâs mouths both thinned as they passed amused glances at each other.
What was this?
His father was helping Ellea free souls? There was no way.
Maybe he was always like this, underneath all the politics and old ways, Garm said.
âEnough, mutt,â Ros growled, and everyone looked at him. He gave them a bored look and quickly changed the subject. âWhat I want to know is why Billy was here so often.â
âBesides sneaking around with Garm?â Sam joked.
âWilhelmina was a great and feared warrior before she became a familiar,â Asmodeus said. âShe was actually one of the first familiars after the Gods retired. She was changed by Loki himself.â
âWe donât talk about that, my king,â Billy said with tight lips.
âThings are bound to come out,â he added with a knowing look.
Billy didnât respond, only chugged her wine and looked sideways at Garm.
Great and feared warrior before the Gods retired?
Ros remembered bedtime stories from his mother of a legion of warriors that had gone to Hel with the Gods, a legion of female warriors. Only a handful had come to this realm.
âLoki?â Devon piped up. âThe Loki?â
Devonâs warm skin had paled to the color of cardboard, and his food loudly fell off of his fork. Ros was confused as Devon looked between Billy and Ellea several times with his mouth gaping like a fish. It was just Loki, the God of Chaos andâ¦
Gods, he was an idiot.
âIt makes sense why you were so invested in tricksters,â Ellea said to Billy from across the table.
Where her tone could be seen as accusatory, it was filled with wonder and understanding.
âWe donât have to talk about this now.â Billyâs eyes held the same openness as her witchâs.
âPlease talk about this now,â Devon whispered.
Always the one to want to learn, no matter the circumstances. Ros was happy to see that glint of Devon he loved so much.
âIâve learned a lot while Iâve been here,â Ellea added. âI want to hear your sideâwhen youâre ready.â
âWant to go for a walk soon?â Billy asked with a warm smile. Ellea nodded and went back
