Sophie covered her hand over her belly as the goddess walks towards while she stood standing behind the three sisters. "I'm here, what do you want?"
The red headed goddess looked down at Sophie's stomach and glared at it with so much hatred.
"I came to see if it was true and it is. Sweet little Sophie is knocked up. What did you have to do drug him to fuck you?"
"No, I didn't have to," Sophie said nonchalant angering Eris.
"Estúpida [stupid], open your eyes, she won you lost go cry to one of your many sugar daddies." Neith flicked her wrist signaling the goddess to leave.
Eris' face turned almost as red as her hair, ignoring Neith she turned her attention back her main problem. "I bet you did, you stupid little whore, you just had to take him from me. Why didn't you just stay with your abusive boyfriend?" She said looking satisfied knowing Danny was a weak spot for her.
Sophie flinched and looked down at her slippers in humiliation. Everyone around her inhaled sharply.
"What you guys didn't know? Her last relationship the guy beat her constantly. Kyros just so happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time and the bitch opened her legs." Eris laughed.
Feeling a hand on her shoulder Sophie looked back and saw Rain giving her the support she needed along with Neith.
"Leave Eris, you're not wanted here." Rain said.
"Oh I know, I just wanted to see for myself and break the news to father. Did you know he's been dying to get his hands on Kyros for eons to use him as his personal pet? But Nyx would rain hell on us; fucking whore wrecks everything. So he might settle for you after hearing from a couple loud-mouthed sisters claiming that the child would be more powerful than any god." Eris smirked.
The three sisters hissed and stepped forward ready to attack Eris only to have Sophie step in front of them. "Guys relax."
Ask growled from where he sat. "Touch Sophie and he'll not only hear from Kyros but from the rest of us. And I know for sure Daddy won't like it. We made him shit on himself once, nothing's stopping us from doing it again."
Eris cocked her hip to the side, ignoring the handsome god's threat. "There are more of you?"
Neith rubbed her temples. "You have two seconds to leave before I reveal everyone your real hair color."
The goddess eyes widened and vanished.
"Fucking bitch, I can't wait to ring her neck," Roxana growled.

Dean growled in irritation, not just because they were walking for miles in the middle of a snow storm, but was growing tired of hearing Kell complain about his wedgie, and couldn't pick it.
Kanati was humming to himself while Ajax inspected the weapons the ice men carried making them lose patience because of the shifter's constant questions.
"Hey, newbie I'd suggest you stop with the questions before they gag you." Dean huffed as he continued to walk.
His heart was the size of a pea of how many times it clenched at the thought of Sophie leaving him. His primary was weak and eager just to finish the manhunt and have Sophie back in their embrace.
He was an idiot for letting his emotions and lack of control get the best of him. Dean didn't have his powers from eons, until now and he felt as if he were a boy just learning mere basics. If only he were keener to his awareness he wouldn't have allowed whoever it was to take rein of his emotions.
Maybe Sophie would have been better off if he just left her alone after he saved her from that damion his brother sent. She would have been safer and her life would have been normal.
His shifter roared with the last bit of energy it had within at the thought giving up Sophie, making him snap out of his funk. If he left Sophie after that day she would have been once again in Danny's grasp and the last thing he'd ever want to see is Sophie defeated.
And even if he left her, she was carrying their child with enemies thirsting for his blood now knowing he's alive and they, much like Thanatos and Eris knew about Sophie. After all, it was his fight, not hers, she's innocent and wanted it to stay like that.
Sophie was staying no matter what. She's his mate and will stay his mate till death.
Small vibrations under his feet made Dean freeze so did the others. Kanati crouched to the ground and snapped his head to the right, there was nothing but wind and snow making it hard to see. But the ice men began to take out their weapons and their leader handed back Dean's sword and pistols, others followed his lead and Kell, Kanati and Ajax were ready and armed.
Cracks appeared beneath their feet causing the ground they were on to rise. Kanati stayed crouched feeling the ground and Dean watched the god for any signs of threat.
"You smell that?" The native god asks.
Dean took a whiff and wrinkled his nose. He looked over at Kell and so did the others even the ice men.
Kell crossed his arms in annoyance. "It wasn't me, and quite frankly I'm the not only one with an asshole. What, the rest of you shit ladybugs and baby kisses?"
Ajax chuckled. "You're a piece of work. Whoever the destined lucky lady is I swear will need to walk around with a hazmat suit constantly around you."
"I'll have you know pup I've been with countless women, none complained, if anything they sigh my name at the sight of me." Kell inspected his sword arrogantly.
Kanati stood up and smirked. "Lies you fuck, last time I raided a brothel with and Kyros the women pouted about your 'tiny' problem."
"What a fucking lie, you've all seen me naked, and I have nothing to hide in that category. I have a big dick, and that's one thing I'm proud to boast about. Want me to drop my pants and see? Oh, I know let's see what Rain has to say, hm?" It was Kell's turn to laugh.
Kanati's eyes gleamed as he pulled out a set of daggers slowly making his way to the about to be a dead god.
Dead was about to intervene when a ball of fire hit the ground startling them all. A loud screech made his ears ring and vision blur. Shaking his head he looked around and saw nothing that was until he looked up.
"What that fuck is that, it's so ugly and smells," Ajax asked covering his nose with his scarf.
"Chimera." The three of them said in unison. Only it was dead and rotting it was hard to identify what kind of animal parts the creature possessed.
Dean knew for a fact that they didn't smell like that. This one was different. They fought a handful of them and were a bitch to kill but never had he seen one so hideous.
The creature threw another fireball their way making them all dive out of the way. Dean looked over his shoulder to see the ice men were already attacking unsuccessfully and Ajax and the guys were dusting the snow off themselves while heading in his directions.
"This is going to be very hard without our powers," Ajax complained making them grunt in agreement.
