Nyx had run into trouble trying to find her beloved son before.
When his contracted beast was still alive, the gods became incapable of spying on his movements while she was around him.
Their divine vision would only show them fragmented images that they couldn't fully process, and they had no idea what the reason might be.
But what was happening right now was totally different from that.
Her ability to see Malachi wasn't fragmented, it was gone.
Immediately, she switched to her connection with him and let out a sigh of relief upon learning he was still alive.
She descended onto the mortal world and went searching for him, curious about what he could be doing that could hide him from her divine sense.
But upon finding him in Anna's apartment, she realized that he wasn't doing anything at all.
At least not consciously.
Everytime I write a smut chapter I think of that guy in my discord who was like 'You gotta step those numbers up those are rookie numbers.' and that shit makes me and my girl laugh so hard.
