Chosen By The Gods

Please,not Morrigan...

DAEMON'S POINT OF VIEW

“ Is it really necessary ? Can't we find out later what's wrong with him? ” I plead against the pillow, hoping that he'll cut me some slack for once.

* Yes,it is. Something is not right. * As I thought. But it's Apollo we're talking about. Being a God, he thinks that everyone is like him, and no one gets tired.

“ Well, you should know, you’re a God. ” I reply, or better yet,snap at him. I have my limits ,and he somehow, manages to push them all.

* And that means that I know everything? Does your human God knows everything about everybody? No! Believe me! * Someone is pissed. At least I'm not the only one.

“ Well, you did know about mom and dad. And those were useless information. ”

* Yes, because I could see their memories. You really think that I spent my time sitting in Hurantia watching 13 years old kids showing each others private parts?* I can’t help but laugh out loud.

“ You’re crazy Apollo. ”

* I think I’m rubbing it off on you. *

“ Happy to be of use. You were too uptight anyway. Not that now you're much better, but you're heading in the right direction. " I say honestly, and he growls. 

" Now, didn’t you see anything in Hunt’s memories? ” I ask before he can start preaching about he, being a God, and me, being a human with a tiny brain, and f***s know what.

* Nothing important. From his memories, he has a loving mother, and they moved a lot. But most part of them are blurred. I can’t make any sense. And…he takes some meds. * He trails off, and I frown as I can hear the hesitation in his voice.

“ What meds? ”

* We should look into it. I don’t want you to exaggerate and freak out. * Ok, now I know that something is wrong.

“ Ok, now I’m freaking out. Tell me. ”

* No! *

“ Apollo, I’m not gonna play Sherlock, so you better tell me.” I demand in a commanding voice, and he sighs in defeat.

* Fine. From his memories, he’s taking some pill for his disorders. *

“ More specific Apollo, stop beating around the bush. ”

* Ok. He is bipolar, he has double personalities, anger problems and..yeah. * Again, he trails off, as if he's afraid that I'l explode, and he just might be right this time.I'll explode.

“ YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT HE’S ALSO CRAZY?” I ask as I'm about to have another panic attack. How many things are wrong with him? 

* Since when do you judge people? Being sick is not a crime. Nor something that you choose. Now, I understand that you panic that he’s a man, because you humans are limited. But I expect more from you. * His tone is deep and angry ,but what makes me feel really bad about myself right now, it's that he's clearly disappointed. I'm an inconsiderate asshole.

“ I’m sorry, ok? I just…I guess that I’m overwhelmed. So, what now?” I apologize from the bottom of my heart, and he hums, as if I'm forgiven, but not quite. We might bicker a lot, but his opinion about me, does matter. 

* I don’t know. We just have to wait and see. Talk to him tomorrow, try to be his friend first. *

“Apollo, you’re asking me to stay near him and not touch him. Do you know how hard that is? ” I ask in a frustrated voice, knowing that each time I see him, it gets worse. The need to touch him, kiss him, mark him, it's almost unbearable. I think that it's time to admit that yes...I'm attracted to him.

* I do. But you can’t make him your friend from afar now, do you? *

“ You have a point. ”

* No s**t, Sherlock. Stop amazing me. * Are all Gods so sarcastic? Or I’m just so lucky that mine is?

“ Ok, let’s study, and then we can go and train. I need to blow off some steam. ” I decide not to get into an argument with him, so, I choose to ignore his sarcastic comment, because we won't get anywhere, and I'm really fed up.

*Ok.* Apollo agrees,and I take my books out. I try to concentrate but I can’t.

“ Apollo? ”

*Yes,I know. Let’s go training.* I knew he can’t focus either,but it was worth the shot.

I get undressed and wrap a towel around my waist,and as soon as I get out the door,I drop the towel and shift. f**k,this feels good. 

# Damn Daemon, did you get bigger? # Terry mind links me. Terry is one of the strongest in the pack, and much older than me, but we get along very well. Maybe because he doesn't act his age, or maybe because I'm just awesome.

* Now who's full of themselves? * Apollo asks mockingly, and I roll my eyes. Yes, I know how to roll my eyes as a wolf.

* I think I'm rubbing off on you. * I reply in the same mocking voice, and he growls in frustration. 1-0 for Mighty Me.

# Don’t know. Haven’t looked in the mirror. # I answer to Terry's question vaguely, because I can’t say yes, 'cause maybe he will ask more questions, and I can’t tell him that it’s because I found my male mate. Or at least I think that it’s because of that.

# I think you did. # He says as he looks me up and down, but I don't answer. Instead, I start running towards the training field, where 10 guys-wolves are already training. 

# So, who wants to train with me? # I mind link everyone, and they look at me, none saying anything.

* I think they’re sick of getting their asses kicked. * Apollo says in a smug voice, and I must admit that it feels good.

# Well? Nobody? # I ask again, and Terry answers in a small voice.

# No offense Daemon, but yeah… # He trails off, then lets his head down in defeat.

# How about you all fight with me? # I ask, and they all look at me and growl in response. 

* This will be fun. * Apollo says in a smug voice, and I take my position.

# Let’s begin. # I give the start and they start charging at me, and at first I just dodge their attacks.

* Ok, kid,let’s show them what we’ve got. * He growls, then starts warning me.

* Your left. Jump and slide on the side to take the next one. Your back, fast. Dodge right. * Apollo instructs, and after not even 10 minutes they give up.

* Damn Apollo, we’re damn strong and fast. * I praise us, but I must admit that I am a little surprised. I didn't expect to beat them all, and so fast.

* Yes. I guess love does help. * He says, and my heart beats faster as I think about Hunt. Gorgeous.

# It was fun guys. See you later. I’m going for a run. # I say bye with a howl, then go towards the woods.

# How the Hell did you manage to beat all of us, and you didn’t even get a scratch? # Terry asks as he walks next to me.

# Experience. Now, do you want to run with me, cause I’m done walking. # That's the best answer that I could came up with. 

# Ok. # We start running, and I lose myself in my thoughts. How will I manage to stay near him and not do something? And why is he so unfazed? Is it possible that I'm so damn special that he's not even gay, and I have to turn him? Can someone be turned? 

* You can stop now. We’re at the border. * Apollo announced me, and I stop. I look back, and I don’t see Terry anywhere.

* We lost him a while ago. *

* Do you think that if I’ll claim him, mark him, there will be more changes? * I ask Apollo, and he is silent for a few seconds. I don't like it when he's silent. Silent means that he doesn't know. And if a God doesn't know, then how the f**k should I?

* It’s possible. I mean, you only touched and you’re bigger, faster and stronger. * He does have a point, but it still doesn't answer my question.

* Let’s go back. I need a shower. * I say to Apollo as I turn and go back home.

I go straight in my room and under the shower, to wash away all the stress and unanswered questions. I hope we’ll find our answers soon, because it’s damn stressful. And hard. And frustrating. And, and, and.

The day passes with Apollo and I thinking of a plan, bickering as usual, until I’m too tired and go to sleep. 

APOLLO'S POINT OF VIEW

The kid is sleeping, and I can’t stop wondering why I feel the need to be close to his mate. Why did he get bigger. I get bigger as I get angry, but no other wolf can. And he’s half human.

All of a sudden I’m startled by a voice. If I wouldn’t be a God,I would’ve made a heart attack.

* Apollo, I need your help. I don’t have much time. * I recognize the voice, and I freeze for a second. Good God, not her.

* Morrigan? *  I ask as if I'm uncertain, because I don't want her to know that I recognized her voice so easily.

* Yes, and it’s not the time to fight. It’s about Hunt. * If she’s about to tell me what I think she’s about to tell me, then I have an idea as why I feel that stupid need.

And I damn hope that she's not going to tell me what I think she's going to tell me!!!!

* I’m listening. * I answer shortly, keeping my voice deep and even, trying to sound unaffected.

* I’m his Guardian. He’s a werewolf as well. Well, aside other things. * She says in that smooth voice of hers, and after the shivers that I hate, finishes running down my spine, and my stupid self comes back to normal, I start thinking again, and I must admit that I’m shocked. And angry, and pissed ,and ... ohh dear Me, I'm f****d.

* I couldn’t sense him. * I admit, and I hear her sigh. Dear Me, this will be fun.

* Because of the pill he’s taking. He doesn’t know it himself. His mother is hiding it from him. He thinks he’s crazy. No matter how many times I tried to tell him otherwise he won’t listen. He trusts his mother, the woman is up to no good. She acts like a Saint, but I can sense her. *

* Why didn’t you contact me earlier? * I ask confused.

* I just saw now that he found his mate, and somehow because Daemon touched him, your scent was also on him. That’s how I realized that you’re his guardian. And, when he’s on that damn pill, he suppresses me. * Ok, I’m very shocked.

* What now? * I ask as I try to compose myself.

* We have to do something to keep him off that damn pill, and away from his mother long enough for him to be able to shift and realize that he’s not crazy. He’s not bipolar and so on. Tell your kid to find a way. I need to go. Bye, and hurry. * And the link is gone. That was Morrigan ladies, gentlemen and werewolves.

* DAEMON!!!!!! * I yell to wake him up, and he jumps startled. Well, I can’t suffer alone. 

“ What the f**k it’s wrong with you? Do you want to kill me?? ” He asks almost breathless, and I start laughing, and he rolls his eyes. Ok, time to be serious.

* I know what’s wrong with your mate. *

" Really? What? How? " The excitement in his voice makes me smile. Ok, I also have my own reasons. No, don't you dare, Apollo!!! I force myself to growl and throw away any happy feelings I might have. 

* He’s not bipolar, he has zero mental problems. He’s a werewolf. *

" Apollo, we would’ve sensed him. For God sakes, you’re going crazy. Let me sleep. " He falls back on his bed, and pulls the covers over his head as if I can’t see him, or hear him anymore. Really?

* No, we wouldn’t. His mother gives him some pill that suppresses his wolf. He can’t shift because of that. And the voice that he hears, it’s Morrigan’s voice. The Goddess of Wolves. That pill suppresses her also, and she just realized that you're his mate, and I'm your guardian. * He jumps as if someone burned him, and turns the lamp on. Really? Now he's giving me his full attention?

" Is that your wife? " He asks in a voice that makes me wanna bite his head off, and I roll my eyes. This kid has some priorities.

* Is that your concern now? * I ask incredulous and he nods.

" Yep. Answer. " What did I do wrong to have him?

* I won’t answer that. It’s too complicated for you tiny human brain. * And I don't want to relive those ... nope.

" f**k off. I’ll start keeping secrets from you as well. " He threatens me in a childish voice, and I roll my eyes. At first, when he started talking to me like that, I went balistic. I mean, I'm a damn God, nobody threatend me, nobody bickered with me, or told me to f**k off, but ... He's ... no point. I wish I could have an explanation, but ... there's none.  One thing it's for sure. He's damn special. In more ways than one.

* Are you serious? You can’t keep secrets from me, genius. * He huffs and pouts, and I laugh. The kid is crazy and annoying as Hell, but I haven’t laughed so much in forever, with nobody. 

* Ok. And what do we do? How can we make him stop taking that pill? Cause I guess that because of that, he can’t sense our bond. * He says, and I must say that I’m impressed. He’s smarter than I gave him credit for.

* I don’t know. We need a plan to take him away from home for a couple of days, and make his mom believe that he’s taking his meds. * We both stay in silence, trying to think of something smart.

After a few minutes, he gasps loudly as if he just had a revelation.

" The cabin in the wood!. " Well, I guess he did have a revelation. And a smart one for that matter. He keeps amazing me tonight.

* That’s a good idea, and it’s too far to walk into town. But how will you take him there? Under what excuse? * I ask, and we both sigh.

" Well … I can show him around town, then talk to Elliot and tell him to call me while I’m with him, and tell me to go to the cabin because the alarm went on. And I ask him if it’s ok if we go there first, then I cut the tires, and well, until Monday nobody works. So, if this works, we’ll have 2 days and a half at our disposal. " And again, I’m impressed.

* It’s a good plan. And as long as you don’t act all strange like you did yesterday, staring at him like some psycho or stutter like some kindergarten kid, we should be just fine.*

" Ohhh, give me a break. You were no better. You were nowehere to be found, and don’t even try to make some lame excuse. " He got me there.

 " Is the Goddess chick the reason why you feel the need to be near him? " He's too smart for his own good tonight.

* No. And she’s not some chick. She’s a Goddess. Annoying, just like you, but a Goddess nonetheless. *

 " Someone got angry. Did I offend your girlfriend? "  I can’t help but growl in frustration, and he laughs.

I could kill him right now.

* Let’s worry about your mate, shall we? * I say sarcastically, and he laughs harder. i***t!
