She raised her head up with guilt, then nodded.

“When he told me about Jess’s death, the only on my mind at that moment was to make them pay ” she took a deep breath.
But when he mentioned killing mom, dad and your parents. I felt something I’d never felt before. Then immediately he said he wanted to kill Orion to

“It was my fault. Our parents had died because they were trying to protect me. It was my fault.” I moved towards her immediately and hugged her, we all
“It’s not your fault babe”
“It’s not your fault Ath” we all said it together like we’d rehearsed it.

Orion said
“They’d all died to protect you. But we’re all alive and we’ll all protect you with our lives” I added and I meant it.

Derek shook his head. “The bloodline was supposedly wiped out. Athena might be the only person left who carries the active gene p>
