Hnoss was a magnet for trouble. How could she make such an announcement? I turned to her in shock and she had this look on her face that was filled with desperation and it went right to my heart. I was about to respond but Balduir interjected with a retort
" Mate? A serpent shifter as your mate? Hnoss you are too much "
" Mother, I have been dreaming of Bering since I awakened my godly powers. Do you think that fate is wrong? I have tried to forget him and even went to the chambers of the god of fate and marriages and she confirmed that she could not change what was destined. Tell me, mother, what can I do?" Hnoss begged.
" How dare a lowly sea god be worthy of you ?" Freyja snickered.
" I wondered the same. But Bering is fair and just. He has been guarding the sea for a thousand years. His people value him so much and I see no evil in him. How could you not be happy that I found a mate?"
" Go back with me" Freyja commanded.
