Chapter 89. Bloodlines of Power

~Lillian's Pov~

I watched Mother and Hermes argue, and there was some sort of discussion as Hermes lost focus and I had to seize the opportunity to rescue Mother from his hold.

I slammed my hand on his chest, and a force came out of my hand and pushed him away from Mother, he screeched backward, hitting his back against the podium.

I grabbed Mother's hand and pulled her behind me.

He looked dumbstruck at what just happened. He recollected himself and gained back his stamina. "How were you able to do that? I stripped you of your powers."

"You took her powers away from her? Were you that cruel Hermes, you promised not to hurt her." Mom interjected it.

"He ordered me to kill her." I heard Dean's voice, explaining to Mother.

"So it was you?" Hermes chuckled bitterly. "It was you son of a bitch that did this! You took her there and did this to me, I should never have trusted you!"
