Melting his cold heart (BWWM) ✔️

Chapter 2

“What do you mean my husband is an Asgardian prisoner?!” Queen Leidr shouted at Senta and her brothers.

“But mother, We-“ Bani was cut off by Leidr’s shrill shouting.

“Do not ‘but mother’ me! It was your duty to protect Muspelheim in the name of Surtur, and you have failed your father. All of you!” She said, her hard eyes landing on Senta. “And you! You sold your father out for an Asgardian. You are an embarrassment to the kingdom. If I had it my way, you would be dead.” She spat at Senta. Senta didn’t flinch at her cold words because she was used to being tormented by the queen, being the product of Surtur’s infidelity.

“Mother, that is harsh.” Vigr said, while wrapping his arms around Senta protectively. Senta loved her brothers even though they were her half-brothers. They loved her just the same. Vigr being the youngest of Surtur’s children, he looked up to his brothers, but he looked up to Senta as well for her compassion and curiousity, though she was just as deadly as any other warrior.

“She is lucky she lives to this day. I would have her killed a long time ago.” Leidr spat before stalking off.

Senta glared at her retreating figure, “If I am not wanted here, then I will go.” She said angrily to her brothers.

Bani shook his head, “Where will you go, sister?” He asked her.

“I could go to Alfheim to be with my mother.” She told him. “Maybe even live a life on Midgard.”

“They would never accept you even if you’re a half elf.” Bilstyggr said.

“We will see, brothers.” She said, going to her bedchamber.

***

Loki paced around his cell, Thor nor had Odin paid him a visit. He and Surtur discussed the plan telepathically so Heimdall wouldn’t ruin this plan. He had agreed to marrying Senta, as long as it got him out of the cell and back into the palace walls.

The doors opened to the prison, hearing the loud steps of none other than Thor. Loki didn’t think he’d ever come. His brother’s face was hard as he glared at Loki. Still hurt that Loki lied to him, he would never see Jane again, their father was on the verge of another Odinsleep, and Loki was to blame.

“Brother, I didn’t think you’d ever pay me a visit.” Loki said smartly, though his face was blank. Thor didn’t care about his wellbeing at the moment, he only wanted to tell Loki what his sentence was.

“Loki, you are to be executed for treason. Your treacherous lies got you into this, and now you shall pay for it.” Thor’s voice boomed, he watched as Loki’s face dropped into a scowl.

“You would watch as I die…again, brother?” Loki growled. “While you left me on that vast wasteland in Svartalfheim. All for the love of your life.” Thor’s face dropped at the mention of Jane.

“You will not speak of Jane! Not when you know nothing about love!” Thor shouted.

“Oh, I do, brother.” Loki said smiling sadly. Thor had thought he was talking about Frigga, he was right in a way, but what Loki said next shocked him. “Besides Frigga, I had someone else to love me.”

“Who?” Thor’s curiosity peaked.

“My daughter.” Surtur said, shocking Thor even more. He turned to face Surtur, confused. Thor then remembered the princess of Muspelheim, fighting his army with skill.

Loki nodded, “We were betrothed, brother. I truly love her, and I want to be there for my future child.” Loki lied with ease. Thor’s face softened, his brother had a child on the way, maybe this would make Loki see reason, and stop his evil ways.
