The Beta’s Regret

(Eden's Pov)

Siblings?

One, a light and the other intense darkness.

They stared at each other, eye to eye without a flinching.

Before I could blink, the fight between Hades and the moon goddess exploded. The sudden shift in the air oozed of violence.

Hades struck a blow at the moon goddess which she evaded with a swift shift.

She attacked with a strike of her staff at him which he was also quick to avoid.

The skies slowly began to change colour, dark clouds closing over the fading blood moon. The darkness that threatened to follow was thick and intense.

Thunder rumbled and lightning struck in the farthest distance. The noise came with a raging wind that shook up the trees and grasses around.

My hair whipped around my face and I quickly brushed it back, eager to see the end of this.

Suddenly, the wind calmed, and another uproar began again, it was peace and storm, light and darkness as the atmosphere changed intermittently.

I still held Lily close to me as she whimpered in my arms. I knew she could feel the change in the atmosphere and it was affecting her greatly.

Worried about the infant, I placed her against my chest, her heartbeat against mine, it was surprisingly calm, almost as if she knew that in that moment all that I needed was a certain comfort that her steady heart beat offered.

I noticed that with every tension that rocked my body, Lily reacted to it. She wasn't scared of what was happening around her, she whimpered because she felt the tension in me.
