Can a God, truly be redeemed?

Chapter 44

You freeze in his hold, you have never heard of her and this was not good judging by the look on your husband's face....

"Sigyn?" you whisper out softly, knowing you have never heard of her before. Who the hell was she? Someone intent on ruining your evening, apparently.

Loki looks back at you, hearing you utter her name. Regret and shame filled his eyes knowing this was a part of his past he wished to never bring to light again, a name he never wanted to pass through his angel's lips. You can feel his soured emotions flow into you, upset that this mystery woman could cause such a negative turn so quickly in him. Whatever did or didn't happen between them must be really bad. You didn't like knowing someone had hurt him like this, and it surged your protective instincts to the front and center of your focus.

As you push outwards harder, Loki sighs and releases his grip ready to get this unpleasantness over with. He knew he would be in for quite the ear full from you for hiding her connection to him. Swiftly, you turn around and step to his side, wrapping your arms around his back and front, intentionally pulling him into your side as you slightly place yourself in front of him. He stiffened at feeling your protectiveness and defensiveness flow through him, shocked it wasn't anger and suspicion.

He opens his mouth to speak and proceed with a proper introduction, but is surprised again as he looks down at you. A wide proud smile on your face, not showing the least bit of the true feelings flowing through you right now. Loki could feel them, yet your face showed no signs of the ferocity of your surging dominance. One he was quite, intimately connected too. Shocked at the sudden presence of your inner dominance, he did his best to control his weakening power in the presence of his emerging mistress.

No one could sense it but him lust choked him at sensing her sudden presence at his side. Norns, you made him wild! He couldn't let his rushing feelings show in front of Sigyn though, so he does his best to think of things that could kill his raging desire for his mistress. He brings forth thoughts of Frigga's statement about her and Odin's younger sexual escapades and that quickly kills his flames, as it also begins to sour his full stomach.

"Ah hello! We haven't been introduced yet! Are you a friend of his? I am Lady Y/N, Loki's BETROTHED, soon to be WIFE. You are?" You give her your best bitch in charge smile as you extend your hand to the petite woman before you. Her dark brown hair hung in ringlets down her back, her features small and almost elvish if you had to guess. Her brown eyes darkened with winged liner, as you suddenly take the moment to observe her dress. A golden silk draped her delicate frame, with emeralds scattered all over it along with an onyx glittering stone belt across her tiny waist. Not quite subtle in marking herself in Loki's colors, something the queen informed you was quite the no no. Presumptuous much, you think to yourself.

It took everything in your being not to sneer at her, a look you have learned well from your husband. You could see she was doing her best to seem innocent and shy, but her eyes told you everything you needed to know. Cold hatred and jealousy poured from them as they attempted to pierce your soul as she looked at you. Seeing how she hoped to make you break, cower in uncertainty, wanting to upset you with her boldness at her intimate acknowledgement of him. To make you jealous of her mere presence and what she represented of his past and possibly still hidden feelings. You knew better though. You just smiled even more, giving her your best customer service smile, eating up her unpleasantness at seeing what you obviously could tell was her former lover, being your frozen husband and his chosen bride. You knew just how to handle her, she had no IDEA who she was dealing with. You recall a piece of advice from Frigga earlier during your dressings.

"This will be your chance to show Asgard how well the Norns have chosen to connect you and Loki as soulmates. Show them you are every bit the princess you are destined to be. That NO ONE and nothing can break you down with your love at your side."
