gentle and sexy and sweet, he is brooding and fighting and arrogant.
I never know who I will get, but I am not exactly satisfied with either.” My
cheeks start to blush when I remember she is his sister and I am being a tad
too open but she doesn’t act at all taken aback she looks to the side “Well, is
their someone else that you think would be better suited for kissing and
fooling around with than Ephraim, perhaps?” I am surprised by the bluntness of
her question as the only other person I know is Levi, and the thought of being
with him like that is complete lunacy, but then I think of Kailand, I can admit
he is gorgeous but he is an arrogant prick who also happens to be in prison,
which really doesn’t say much about my taste in men.
Then
I remember something I needed to ask her so I decide to tread past this
conversation quickly so I can get to it “No, I don’t really I think I want
anyone in his place – including him, for now.” She looks slightly relieved for
a moment but before I ask her about it she continues on “Well, if I was in your
shoes I know what I would do.” I looks at her quizzically and she continues on
“I would just take it for what it is, kiss a little, fight a little fu…” I
place my hand up before she can finish “I get the picture, Alya. But that’s not
me and I can’t do that to Ephraim – he’s more important than that.” She looks
confused for a minute “Oh, Doll. He hasn’t explained to you about being a half
breed, has he?” I think back on our conversations and remember him using the
term, but we never revisited what it meant so I tell her as much and she
continues on.
“A
half breed is a very powerful form of Nephilim, physically, he is far stronger
than you or I – even though he is my brother, we share only a mother. His
father raped my mother and that resulted in his conception. His father was one
of the demons. A number of years ago, we were at war and some of the demons had
crossed into our territory, many of the stories you hear of Vikings are
actually about our people. When there is a war in the Nephilm world, it is the
same as it is in the human world, there is pillaging, fighting, murder and even
rape.” I feel my heart sink when I imagine all that their mother went through,
I don’t even believe I have the right to know anything more, but she continues
on “Many of the half-breeds are retrieved by the demons after birth, but my
mother and father had countless connections and were able to convince the
Counsel to help hide Ephraim. My father was a good man, he loved my mother very
much and he didn’t want others to think less of her when they heard how Ephraim
was conceived. So he convinced the counsel to hide Ephraim in plain sight. They
agreed to give him 18 years to lie and say Ephraim was his own, he went through
our typical training and though he was good at combat, he always fell behind in
skill and ability training. When he turned 18 years old, it was time for him to
pay a debt to the counsel, since then, he has worked tirelessly as their hound,
he is physically the strongest being we have on the Island, so he gets sent on
dangerous missions and when the elders are occasionally called upon to travel,
he is expected to escort them. It was his mission to find the one, because they
believe he was all that could withstand your power.” I think back on when I met
him and realize he was completely alone and tattered looking, Alya didn’t show
up for at least an hour behind him, if not more. I am shell-shocked, but she
isn’t done telling the story “I thought they were sending him on a suicide
mission and fought the counsel every step of the way, when he called us after
finding you, I was so relieved. You were the best surprise we could’ve received
and now his debt to the counsel has been paid so he is now free to come and go
as he pleases.”
