To be Claimed by Her

Chapter 130

Sean's POV

In the end, we decided to follow Gabe's plans. Since Nyx and Typhon are from the Void, they took the other gods and goddesses using their magic to shield them from Erebus. He knew we were coming, so we didn't try to hide our presence, just the extent of Gabe and Owen's magic. Owen had concealed Star's pregnancy once again.

I was amazed at how accurate Gabe's plan was. I'd never used my magic like this before, but it was working. Corey and Brandon split the darkness while I kept us moving forward. Victor said he could feel the shadows that tried to break the sunlight barrier. I and several others were worried he might fall to their spell again, but Star refused to leave him behind. She said she had faith in him and that should be enough for all of us. I know I sure as hell wasn't going to argue with her. She may be tiny, but she was terrifying when she got mad at you, not to mention she was still having trouble keeping her new powers in check. So far, Gabe and Owen were the only ones who were having any luck helping her control them.

I noticed her rubbing her chest. "Star, are you okay?"

"I can feel him," she whispered, "I can feel Loki."

"Have you tried speaking to him telepathically?" I wasn't sure how strong their connection was, but it couldn't hurt to try.

She looked like she was concentrating for a few moments, then shook her head sadly, "It isn't working."

"It's okay, Pixie. You couldn't talk with most of us before the bond," Luke tried to reassure her. "He's going to be okay, we all are." She gave him a weak smile as we continued on. Owen had stayed in front of her in his human glamour, while Gabe stayed to her side, never breaking physical contact with her.

"You came." Erebus' voice rang out from the surrounding darkness. "And you brought the entire family," he chuckled. He stood just at the edge of the light tunnel the twins had created. "Are you wanting an audience for when I fuck you or are you refusing my offer?" He waved his hand and Loki's form hovered in the air next to him. His eyes looked hollow and dazed.

It's not Loki, I said to the group. Look at his eyes, something isn't right. I could see several of my brothers focusing on the image of Loki.

I think it's a shadow that just looks like Loki - Corey said. Dreamgirl, that means he isn't here. Do your thing, cutie. She giggled in our minds as we all shared a silent laugh.

"Well, I'm certainly not here for an audience or a gang-bang, Erebus," she smirked, "So I guess that means we're fighting."

"I thought you might say that so I brought a few friends," Erebus boomed as the area around us filled with demons and shadows flying into the tunnel of light. I saw Silas, Axel, and Raven sending bolts of lightning at them in all directions.

Star's laughter chimed out over the area, "Oh Erebus, I brought friends of my own." Nyx let her spell fall and Erebus roared when he came face to face with the other gods.

"You bitch!" he roared at Nyx.

She smirked, "Oh honey, I think we might need a magical divorce." Then she sent waves of black magic slamming into him as North and Jace charged. Triton sent waves of energy, blasting various creatures aside as Typhon and Victor both used their dragon forms to rip apart demons.

Erebus charged the group as everyone was battling something or someone. Owen dropped his glamour and began to manipulate the elements around us. He sent pillars of stone and metal crashing against the titan as Gabriel continued to shield Star. Everything seemed to be going in our favor until a black wave of energy swept through, dousing the light for a few moments. We heard a scream and when Brandon managed to regain his light with the help of Corey and Helios, we saw Star in Erebus' grasp.

"Now what are you going to do, little fairy?" the Titan grunted.

Now, Gabe said softly.

Star let her head fall backward and laughed as she transformed first into Marc, then into a tiny mouse that slipped out of Erebus's grasp. He roared and stomped as he started to realize our ruse. The Morrigan and Odin launched a second attack on him, making it impossible to retreat.

A short while later, the ground shook and blue streaks flashed across the sky. "What the hell was that?" I asked.

Gabe chuckled as he dodged a blast of fire, "That would be little wolf completing her final bond."

What? Oh...oh! My eyes went wide. "Well, I guess we know she found him," I snickered, then turned my attention back to the mass of shadows still attacking us.

Author's Notes:  Short, but I'll post a second update later today.  We are nearing the end of this journey with Eveleen and the guys...perhaps there might be a plan for a second book beyond the One Shots.   Or (insert evil villain laugh here) there might be hints to the direction of the second book hidden within the one-shots...

Enjoy the ride, my lovelies, and please follow me for new stories!  As always comment and vote - I love your ideas and suggestions -- several have ended up in the one-shots with credit given!
