Alpha Alec's Redemption

Piper shrugs her shoulders as if it's not that of a big deal. "I've always been fascinated with deities, so I started researching them in high school just so I'd know the different kinds of gods and goddesses there are, but I didn't know he had a son named Kaden."

The three of them nod their heads in understanding before Raven continues. "According to the texts, Kaden is a demi-god. Erebus kept him hidden until he came into his power. Erebus was the first god to ever sleep with a human and get her pregnant. They didn't even know it was possible back then. When Kaden was born, the idea of demi gods and goddesses was unheard of, so Erebus kept him hidden with his mother, afraid of what would happen if the other deities found out. By the time Kaden ascended into his powers, a few other gods had gotten humans pregnant, so there was no longer a need to keep his son hidden. Since he was half god and the son of a primordial at that, Erebus took him from earth and brought him to live with him."

The more Raven told the story of Kaden, the more uncomfortable I got. For some reason, unease rooted itself inside, and I couldn't settle no matter how much I tried.

“The texts I read don't really say what his powers are, but according to them, he mostly kept to himself. You have to understand that deities don't age like we do. When Kaden turned about a hundred years old, he started changing. His powers grew, and his aura became darker, like he had been corrupted or something. He started going against his father, the fates and other deities. He simply became uncontrollable."Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

My anxiety and panic started increasing the more I heard about him. I couldn't place my fear or anxiety. I couldn't place the reason why I felt like something heavy was weighing down on my chest. I couldn't explain why the mention of his name was wreaking havoc inside me.

"Kaden started talking about ruling both the heavens and the earth. He wanted dominion and power. It's like he was drunk from it and wanted more despite it driving him crazy. He rejected the very plan the fates had for him and fought against the path chosen for him. Kaden started a war and he almost won. The deities fought him. The texts said that the moon goddess had a vested interest in Kaden's defeat, and she played the biggest role in bringing him down. According to the text, she wasn't able to completely destroy or defeat him given his powers and the backup he had, so she imprisoned him in an unknown location."

I felt as if my heart and head were going to explode. Everything was coming to me and I could barely understand what was happening or t I was feeling. My head feels

what was

like it's about to explode with the weight of what was happening.

My breath is coming in fast and hard as I try to force myself to calm down. I feel like escaping. Like the room was suffocating me. I needed to getaway from this room and the words that were coming out of Raven's mouth.

"Wow," Jason mutters, looking as if he were shocked and speechless. "I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this."

"I truly believe that it's Kaden imprisoned here," Raven says, completely ignoring Jason.

"It could be," Alec mumbles thoughtfully. "You did say that whoever was imprisoned here was really powerful. If it is Kaden, it could explain the power you felt given that he's a damn demi-god."

Micah picks up right after Alec is done. "It could also explain why she also felt darkness and evil emanating from the imprisoned person, if Kaden's aura really did turn dark."

I don't really say anything because what's more to say? Deep down though, I am sure that it is Kaden. I don't know how I know or why I am sure it's him imprisoned here, but I trust my gut, and it's telling me that Kaden, the first ever demi-god, is imprisoned here somewhere.
