And Then There Were Four by Lilith Carrie

I was honestly surprised to see Lucas was going along so willingly. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would, and looking at how he was a Lycan as well, I could only imagine why.

Stepping forward, Kara waited for Lucas and I, and as we stepped through the portal, I knew there was no turning back, and honestly I was excited.

As a blinding white light filled my vision, I felt myself being twisted and pulled until peace flowed over my body like a warm blanket. Gasping, I looked around and found myself lost and alone but something in front of me called me forward.

With one foot in front of the other, I made my way through the white clouds of mist encircling my body until a small, green clearing came into view and I took in the sweet smell of fresh air and bright blue skies.

"Welcome to Asgard." Odin grinned as he held his hands up into the air, spinning slowly to show us the magical realm we were entering. I honestly wasn't sure what I was expecting, but I can promise it definitely wasn't this.

Tall white pillars loomed around us, holding up large white marble roofs seemingly cascading far off into the distance. An as I stepped forward, I realized among this pantheon-styled buildings laid mountains decorated in green forests and waterfalls. There had to been a thousand buildings all built into the mountain sides, and turning to Odin, I frowned in confusion.

I had expected something far darker or perhaps more isolate, but instead, I was in a city.

"Where is Asgard?" Lucas asked, causing me to turn and face him. He was just as confused as I was, and I was glad he asked the question instead of me.

There was no way I was going to make myself look like an idiot.

"In time you will learn," Odin replied in a booming voice deep and distinct it made your soul shake when he spoke and there was amusement in his tone. He headed towards the large white steps of the massive marble building in front of us. I couldn't help but be wary of the man he was. "Follow me this way, and I will have Freya show you to your rooms. You can settle for tonight, and tomorrow you start school."

"School?" Both Cassie and I said at the same time as we looked at each other in confusion and then looked back to Odin. We had just graduated school. The last thing we wanted to do right now was go back to school.

"Yes, school. You didn't think you were just going to come here, pick up an axe or throw in some fighting skills and we would let you on your merry way, did you?"

"Well, yeah," I muttered to myself as a giggle caught my attention and I took notice of a beautiful woman walking towards Odin.

She was beautiful, more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. It was clear she far surpassed my mother in age, her long golden strands were perfectly braided down her back as a crown sat upon her head.

"It's lovely to see you all," she said with a soft almost sing-song voice. Her eyes scanned the three of us before falling onto my sister. "Castor, sweetheart. I have been waiting for this day since you were born." . FindNovel

What the hell? She was only interested in my sister. What kind of bullshit was that?

"Sorry, I don't know who you are," Cassie said softly, her eyes darting to me with confusion as she shrugged her shoulders.

"That's Freya. The motherly goddess who looks over us all." Lucas belted out as he crossed his arms over his shoulders, a content gaze on his face as he glanced over at me and smirked.

"That would be correct. I am Freya, and you must be Lucas the celestial Lycan we hadn't been expecting... no worries, though. I will figure out who you came from in time."

Lucas scoffed with annoyance as he rolled his eyes. "I'm no one, and there's nothing to know."

Freya and Odin shared a knowing glance between each other at his comment before she clapped her hands together. "Let's get you to your rooms. That way you can get freshened up before dinner."

Not bothering to ask any questions, I

remained quiet as I followed behind Cassie and Lucas. It didn't please me to know, once again, my sister was the center of attention. I got she was unique, but for once, I had hoped the spotlight wouldn't shine on her.

The moment we stepped into the halls, I took note of how more extravagant the inside of this building was to the outside. White walls decorated with ornate objects, and paintings of historical scenes littered the area. It was cool, but with how fast Freya was moving, I didn't have time to take in it all.
