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
Ario POVIt’s been a week since Eve’s visit, and Jane has been in her room crying all day and chasing the maids out. I haven’t gone to her room; she needs time to herself. Honestly, I didn’t expect that from her at all, and I hope it was all a lie. I hope Eve was getting it all wrong, but she didn’t deny it. She did those things just because of a fling, and she deceived him. Now that I think about it, I don’t blame Aelle for the man he is today; he was forced to be like that. I can’t imagine being in his shoes. The woman I so dearly love doing that to me will break me to pieces. Now I get why Eve said father so dearly; Jane really did him dirty.“We found him,” Odin said, entering my study.“Where is he?” I asked.“The river at the waterfall,” he said, taking a seat. I sighed.“It’s so sad what is going on; too many secrets make me wonder if there are more,” I said, dropping my pen.“I hope that’s all the secret; I can’t deal with more secrets. It makes me see people I love and respec
Maeve POV“We attack from here,” I said, standing in front of the blueprint.“This is the middle of the palace; if we blow up this place, the entire palace might collapse,” Malcom said, looking surprised.“That is why we should attack from here,” I said, looking up. We were in the conference room, and we were planning the attack. We are attacking soon, and we are striking first. I can’t wait to get this over with.“You don’t mind blowing up what you built?” father asked, looking at me blankly. I frowned.“Why should I, father?” I asked, and everyone was quiet. He gave me a long look.“You would really break it down, your home,” he said. I sighed.“It was my home until you brought me here, father; now this is my home, and I am loyal to my home,” I said, my face blank. Father chuckled heartily, his hand on his stomach.“I see. Well, let’s go back to the blueprint,” he said. I nod my head.“What do you think about attacking from the middle of the palace?” I asked.“I think we shouldn’t.
Maeve POVI sat on my horse as we journeyed to Cassia. Today is the day we are attacking Cassia, and I couldn’t be more happy. Father, Malcom, and I lead the army behind us. Father is happy today; in fact, he has been happy since three days ago. Yesterday, when he came to my room in the morning, he said he wanted a father-daughter outing, and he bought us matching clothes.The clothes were blue and black, with matching trousers and a matching blue top. We went to so many places, forgetting our titles. We went bowling, ice skating, and ventured down the kingdom, eating street food and just having fun. It was fun. Yesterday is a day that will forever be tattooed on my brain. And for the first time, I wished we had cell phones in Atena. I wanted us to take loads of pictures, but thankfully, we saw a photographer who took a lot of pictures with his camera and turned them into an album.But today we venture down to Cassia. Today is going to be a horrible day for me. What is going to happen
Ario POVWe stood in front of the palace. Although we broke it down, we didn’t reconstruct it; we left it like that. But we didn’t break the palace to pieces; someone can still live inside.“Let’s go in,” I said, climbing a rock. Will Selene really stay here? Well, this is the only place in the kingdom she could possibly hide.“Take the left,” I said to the guards, and they bowed. Now it was just Brandon and me. We walked around, trying to get a scent or anything.“Do you really think she will be here?” he asked.“That is what Mabel said; she should be here or she left after finding out, we know,” I said. He sighed.“We really can’t get rid of her,” he said. Well, we all thought she was dead, so I understand him.“But what happens if she is here?” he asked.“Capture her before she causes more trouble,” I said. He scoffed.“Selene is not that easy to capture; she is powerful,” he said. I rolled my eyes.“She is powerful, but I am more powerful, and I have you,” I said. He chuckled.“I
