Origins *Book 3 Of The Hunted Series*

Chapter 19: Unspoken Rule

I don't own any of the Twilight characters or events

I look around at the frowning God's and Titan.

I look at the packs, observing the confusion on their faces.

"Ok. I'll say it, who the fuck is Thesia?" Apollo says, throwing her hands in the air.

Hades, Apollo and Malia glance at each other, Malia waving her hands to the siblings.

With narrowed eyes, Apollo sighs, attempting to keep his anger in check.

"She's a murdering, unloyal bitch of a God." He says, clenching his jaw.

"She's our sister." Hades says, eyeing his brother.

"Your sister? You put a God in Tartarus?"

Malia glances at me and shrugs, scratching the side of her face.

"She killed her husband Matius, destroyed Olympus and.." Malia trails off, frowning.

"What happened?" Alex wonders, tilting her head.

"She killed my wife. Took her life in front of me." Apollo says, wiping his eyes, sniffling.

"Is that why you've been on the sun this whole time?" Abigail questions, laying her head on Candace's shoulder.

"Part of it. Zeus didn't want to put her on trial. Stating that there was no reason, God's kill other God's all the time." Apollo says, rolling his eyes.

"What was the other reason?"

"He didn't hold a trial. It was either get pissed to the point I killed every human in the world or go to the sun where my anger would blend in." Apollo says, glancing at the thermostat on the wall.

"So I put her in Tartarus. She deserved it." Malia says, scratching her jaw.

"So what do we do?"

Malia looks us over and sniffs a bit, rubbing at her nose.

"Go to Italy as planned." She says, glancing at the God's, who nod in agreement.

Malia shares a look with Apollo and Hades, who nod at her silent statement.

I narrow my eyes and watch as Leticia steps toward a wall and touches a panel, opening the wall.

Leticia and Apollo step in the opening, looking at the weapons on the wall.

"You're not coming with are you Malia?"

Malia chuckles and meets my eyes.

"No. I'm staying here." She replies, gauging my reaction.

The entire room erupted into protest.

Her eyes never left mine.

"What?! We can't do it without you!!"

"What the hell man?!

"You can't leave us there on our own!!"

"Guys, chill out."

They quiet down but mutter under their breaths.

"Why can't you come with us?"

Malia licks her lips and clenches her jaw.

"I have to make sure she doesn't get to you. I have to keep you safe. I can't do that if I'm with you. I broke a rule, it's my job to fix it." She says, begging me to understand with her eyes.

I frown and look away.

"We can't do this without you."

She lifts my face towards her, rubbing my cheek.
