Maeve POVThe portal took me to a study. I sighed, sitting on the couch in the study and I patiently wait for my father. He came in after me, and he chuckled loudly.“Yes, everything is working perfectly well,” he said, roaming about in the study while I just kept looking at him.“You were so amazing, Maeve, so perfect, and so powerful,” he said, his smile wide like he just won the lottery. He stopped walking about, staring at me.“You know I had a brother. He was a pain in my neck, useless and pathetic, but I killed him,” he said, his eyes lightening up like he had derived so much joy from watching his brother be killed by him.“He was a miserable little lad, the weakest in the family, and he depended on everyone to survive. Mother loved him dearly, but her love for him didn’t help. My mother was powerful; she was known in the demon kingdom, and my father was lucky to have her, but you see, she had one weakness, which was my poor, weak brother. Everyone knew he was her weakness, so t
Maeve POVIt’s been 3 days since I got here, and I have been in my room. I have not done much, but it gave me time to think. I think about everything going on around me, and I have not come to any conclusion which is driving me nuts. I knock softly on the door.“Come in.” I heard my father’s voice. I opened the door, and he was with a man in his study.“You called for me,” I said. He smiled at me.“Yes, have your seat,” he said. I nod my head, sitting beside the strange man.“Maeve met Malcolm, Malcom; this is my daughter Maeve,” he said. I look at the man; I have never heard of him.“No need for introductions. Aelle, we all know Maeve, the powerful queen of Cassia, the woman with two god titles,” he said, and I just kept looking at him. I gave him a long look, trying to think if I had seen him before. I could feel his aura. He is powerful, cunning, evil, and sly.“The god of chaos,” I said. And he smiled widely.“Not many people outside this kingdom know me, but she could tell from l
Maeve POV“You look so pretty,” Father said, standing behind me. I smiled at him in the mirror. I look different. They dressed me in all black, dark makeup with a blood red lipstick. This is how they do it here, I guess. I sighed, remembering my wedding and coronation with Ario. I looked alive; I looked beautiful and happy, but now I look emotionless; looking like the evil princess. I breathe out. Thinking about them won’t get me anywhere, so I would rather not.“I look like the evil princess’ father,” I said, turning to him. He smiled.“No, you look pretty, just like your mother,” he said. I tilt my head at him.“You still love her?” I asked.“I never stopped loving her,” he said, his eyes brown.“So, why did you give it up?” I asked.“She had different ambitions; she wanted a different life,” he said, sighing. Then he looked at me.“Let’s not talk about that now; let’s do that later with a few drinks,” he said. I smiled.“Okay, father,” I said, and he hugged me. I didn’t hug him bac
Maeve POV“Oh, look, there are the newlywed couples,” my father said as we entered the dining room. I blushed, staring at Malcolm.“Stop, father,” I said, waving my hands at him. Father looked at both of us, his brown eyes beaming. You could feel his happiness and the glow on his face.“There were so many banging last night; are you two sex starved?” my father asked. I chuckled, looking at Malcolm. Oh, there was a lot of banging, but I banged Ario, not Malcom, and he was banging his lover, and they went on for hours. Her loud moans irritated me, and I couldn’t sleep. He rolled his eyes at me as I glared at him.“Yes, he couldn’t get enough of me last night,” I said, going to my seat. Malcolm laughed, as he could sense my sarcasm, but my father was just too happy to sense anything. I serve him and serve myself.“Oh, performing Wifey duties already,” the father said, smiling widely. I chuckled, eating a grape.“Father, if you continue with the smile, I’m afraid your cheeks will start hu
Ario POV“Your majesty, our camps are being raided by King Aelle and Queen Maeve,” the general said. I sighed, rubbing my forehead. I don’t know how long it has been, but it has been long enough to know that Maeve has completely gone crazy. She and Aelle have been attacking us, killing the men. I have not set my eyes on her since that night, and I am not even sure I want to.“She is no queen of ours; she should be killed,” the ministers yelled, and there was an uproar as others yelled with him. They used to respect her so much; they used to love her, and now they surely want her dead. What am I going to do with you, Maeve?“Enough!” I yelled, and they all went quiet. I breathe out.“I am as tired as you all. I am frustrated, as are you all, but we have to remain calm,” I said, standing up.“But your majesty, Queen Maeve, has been causing us a lot of trouble. The people on the outskirts are in danger; even the generals are in danger. What must we do, your majesty? She is our queen, but
Ario POV“We are here,” Odin said, looking deep into the forest. We have been riding for almost four days because Odin mixed up the route and we took the longer one.“We are here? This is just a forest,” I said. He climbed down on his horse.“No, father, that’s what she wants you to think,” he said, bringing out his pocketknife. He walked to a different tree, stabbing it, and I just kept looking at him tiredly. I have not really slept; the journey here wasn’t so smooth because we met some warriors and cave dwellers, and we also met some rogues, and those things are vile. So when we are supposed to be resting, I stay away to make sure Odin has enough sleep while I look out.“I must be so delusional because of my lack of sleep,” I said, yawning. I come down from the horse, stretching. Odin chuckled loudly. Then I watched as he stabbed into a tree, and the view changed. There was a hut in front of us.“I guess you are right,” I said, leading the horses inside. Odin went to the door, knoc
Third-person POVSelene sighed, waving her hands as the mirror went down. She has been keeping tabs on her sister’s family since she found out who she is.“Who could be controlling her? It can be anyone, their mother, Ario, or her pups. It could even be the man she calls Pa,” Selene said, roaming around.“My lady, it’s better you calm down. You are pregnant,” Astrid said, staring at her. Selene growled in awe.“That dick, Jorge! He is lucky he is dead; I would have killed him myself!” Selene yelled. Astrid chuckled softly as he watched her lose her breath. Selene is pregnant, and her belle is protruding. Well, after all the fucking with Jorge, she got pregnant, and when she found out, it was too late to do anything about it. The worst thing is that Jorge knew she was pregnant and always advised her to keep calm; in fact, he told her to forget about her family and focus on him, but Selene was stubborn. Poor Jorge was in love. Now she has nothing but hatred for her pup’s father. How iro
Ario POV“What!” Jane yelled in shock. We got back yesterday, and although I wish to tell everyone what happened on our journey, I was too tired because for a week and a few days I have not slept, and Odin didn’t sleep on our way back, so we immediately went to sleep. We have been sleeping since yesterday morning until this afternoon, and right now I still feel so sleepy.“Yes, Jane, we are truly doomed,” I said, rubbing my head. I have terrible migraines.“Oh no, this is terrible,” she said, roaming the conference room. I sighed, my head seriously banging. If I’m not careful, I will have a mental breakdown. This is too much for me to take in, and my lack of sleep didn’t help. We may be powerful gods, but we are also humans with flesh and a weak body system.“So what are we going to do?” she asked. I coughed out, sighing.“I guess we will look for Selene; Mabel said she is currently in Isak's broken down palace; that was the clue,” I said. And they all nod their heads.“Missed me,” a
