Free Guardian (Daughters Of The Gods, Book 2) by Tamara Gill

and locate them. Quite a handy ability for a hunter. She could transport herself via thought to any destination. If she thought she could get them away from here and safe forever she would. But Zeus would only find them. Hunt them down and mete out his intended punishment.
    The time for running was over. Now they had to stand and fight.
    Fight for the life they wanted.
    Together.
     
     

 
    CHAPTER
    Ten
     
    Lelantos kept blocking the endless attacks from Zeus. He knew the father of the gods was furious that another of his daughters had decided to leave behind the ways of the gods. No longer to remain in the hallowed halls of Mount Olympus, but to dwell below on Earth. With a Titan.
    He smiled , savoring the joy that flowed through his veins at Cat’s declaration of love. She loved him. He loved her.
    Who ’d have thought?
    There was no time to bask in the joy of her pronouncement. Instead he fought with all the might and forgotten strength he harbored against the father of the love of his existence.
    The ground shook and the clouds above them churned with wind and rain. Zeus’s temper was visible for all to see. The full force of his power unleashed upon Lelantos.
    And he was winning.
    Fuck!
    “Get out of here, Cat. I can’t hold him much longer.”
    “No, I won’t leave you.” She screamed over the storm that raged down on them.
    Another arc of lightning barreled toward Lelantos. Thousands of years away from the battlefield was taking its toll and he barely managed to block the deadly bolt. He was weakening against the most powerful divine being in existence.
    “Please Cat. I won’t survive if I know you’re in Tartarus at the mercy of your enemies. Please. Go.”
    He met her gaze and willed her to understand what he was saying. If his fate was imprisonment in Tartarus then so be it. But if he thought she was being hurt, tortured and used by the other immortal beings who were held there as well, he would never survive mentally. It would drive him mad.
    “Cat .” She still refused to leave him. “Go.”
    The two hunters Zeus had dispatched across the mountain reappeared and flanked the father of the gods. With a bone rattling thud, three more hunters landed beside them.
    Lelantos took a calming breath and stepped back. He could not win this fight. For too long he’d lived a normal way of life – he was no longer battle hardened. To fight against fighters highly trained and skilled would not end in his favor.
    He’d lost.
    A feathered touch ran down his back and he turned to find Cat beside him. Tears streamed down her beautiful face, her hair, golden locks that would forever remind him of warmth and sunlight sat nestled over her armor. Lelantos transformed into the man he’d been for a millennium, and pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
    Her arms encircled his neck and her grip was fierce. She kissed him with a fervor that matched his own. Lelantos pulled back and wiped the tears from her cheeks. “I love you. I think I’ve loved you from the first time I kissed you on this very battle field all those years ago.”
    She grinned and his chest ached. “That kiss threw me as well.” Her expression turned serious. “ It’s not working.”
    “What isn’t?” he asked, watching as panic assailed her features.
    “I’m trying to take you with me. To get us out of here. It’s not working, Lelantos.”
    “Try it on your own, Cat and see if you can escape.” A tear ran down her cheek and he swiped it away. “I want you to go.”
    “If it works, and I escape, I will find you again, Lelantos. I promise.”
    “I do not doubt it,” he said, kissing her once more, before pain sliced through his side and he dropped to his knees. Cat disappeared and he sighed with relief as he stemmed the bleeding from the blow they had inflicted on his hand.
    “She will never find you, Lelantos , for Tartarus is not where I will hold you. You will be imprisoned on Mount Olympus and when my daughter comes looking for
