Alexander's Pov I looked around the room at all the council members. "Ariella is no longer allowed to leave the palace unless she is in my arms." I said after a while. "What if I want to go to the beach?" Mia whined. I looked at her with narrowed eyes because the last time she took her somewhere it was in a garden to meet my enemies. "You are no exception. My powers weakened today because she decided she would explore the universe because she was upset with me." I said with narrowed eyes. Everyone besides Zavier and Maverick turned towards Christopher. "It's not his fault. It was actually fortunate because I found out that even though she never planned on leaving me I still would weaken until she wanted to come home. Unfortunately since I had made her mad earlier the anger and doubt for me stuck even when she wanted to go home." I said. "How are you sure?" Arthur asked slowly. "He's sure because I asked her to leave with me to go to the jungle and take pictures while we le
Ariella's Pov "Only the best for my queen." Alexander said softly. I slowly looked at him with a small smile as I brough the lasagna to my mouth. "I've never had this before." I sang. "I guessed that when you asked what it was." Alexander chuckled. I looked down at my food to hide my blush. "Would you like some more wine my king?" Someone asked Alexander. I looked up and stiffened as I looked at Christopher. One of the Gods that had kidnapped me. He looked at me and smiled a wry smile that had me panicking. Before I could open my mouth Alexander brought the wine to his lips. Christopher watched him drink it all before he was smirking and slowly walking towards me. "Wine my queen?" He asked slowly. "She can't have any." Alexander said sternly. "She can." Christopher said aggressively. "Okay." Alexander said robotically. My head snapped up and my eyes went wide. He was paying me no mind and was now eating steak like he did not just let someone boss him around. I look
Ariella's Pov Whatever Alexander gave me did not put me to sleep. I could not move and stayed still for hours while they went over any and every way the misfortune could hurt me. My chest was hurting more and more with each thing they said it could effect. Even when everyone left me alone The pain did not go away. The only way to fight the misfortune was to be perfect and even that could fail because it could make me want to leave even through all the love. Part of me believes that Christopher gave me misfortune at the place they took me to because when I got home and Alexander took me their everything went bad. "Hey sweet heart are you awake?" Alexanders deep voice whispered near my ear. I slowly opened my eyes and turned my head to look at him. I had not even realized that I could move or open my eyes. The soft smile he gave me had my chest hurting. The sadness in his eyes had me leaning into him. A few tears left as I realized that I could lose everything all because
Ariella's Pov Slowly I looked around for the God that had invaded my mind. "Im not here." The voice said lowly. "Ariella." Alexander's voice snapped me back to reality. I slowly looked at him and stiffened at the anger in his black eyes. I gulped as I turned towards the way that would lead me to him. "Don't move. An innocent life will be lost forever. You can fight this. All you have to do is grab the necklace that is on your neck and pull it off." The voice said lowly. I looked down at my bare neck and narrowed my eyes. "Unless you remember putting it on, you won't be able to see it until you take it off." He deadpanned. My brows narrowed as I realized I was going crazy. "Grab your neck and feel." He ordered. "Ariella." Alexander's voice pulled me back to everything that was happening. I slowly looked over to everyone just staring at me and took a deep breath before I started walking, I was going crazy it seemed like. "Grab your neck Ariella and pull the necklace off. P
Alexander's Pov "How is she?" Maverick asked as I walked into the room. I looked up at him with a sly smile. He leaned back and smiled a little as he raised a brow. "Her body and mind is trying to fight what I put in her but other than that it won't be long before she becomes the dark meek Goddess I always dreamed of." I said with a chuckle. He gave a slight nod before his face instantly went serious. "So, what are we to do about Meridith and all the other Gods that are protected?" He asked through gritted teeth. I sighed as I slowly sat down. "Until she has been consumed, nothing. We have to be patient." I stated. I didn't want to think about my failures right now even though I knew I had to. I had finally shown my hand and now there was no need to pretend like I was oblivious. All Gods would know that my power exceeded them by thousands. I had hoped that I could make it seem like since I had not consumed Ariella's light that I was not powerful enough but my plans
Ariella's Pov I looked at myself in the mirror and willed myself to be strong. I had to stay strong and all would work out. "My queen the King is requesting your presence." My maid said causing me too stiffened instantly. I slowly set my brush down and looked at her through the mirror. I could tell by the way she was looking that I couldn't get out of seeing him. The little fortune I had was gone faster than it came, or I could say the misfortune came as expected. "He is back?" I whispered as soft and meek as I could. I was hoping that because I had not tried to leave that he would not come back so fast. I needed more time to prepare but It seemed like my time was up. He wasn't even gone for two days. She gave me a forced smile and a small nod. "Yes, so if you could." She said softly as she backed up a little bit. I stared at her as I took a deep breath and pushed my chair back. The tightness in my chest had me dreading what would happen if I failed to pretend like the
Ariella's Pov Alexander looked at me as if he was trying to figure out how to turn it back around for him. "Just stop." I said slowly as he tried to get up again. "So you really don't want him anymore? You really are giving up on the love you have for him?" Maverick asked slowly like I did not just say I was done. I looked at him with narrowed eyes because it seemed like they had to much hope. "The book warned him. This is not on me. Had he loved me and treated me like a queen this would not have happened." I spit out. "We are Gods." Alexander roared. "I am the most powerful Goddess. The book warned you and you tried to trick me and use me." I screamed hysterically. "You are right. He messed up but we can fix this." Zavier said from the side of me. My head snapped over and I narrowed my eyes. "He's with Meridith." I snapped. He shrugged like it was no big deal. "We are Gods and I am not going to cry when I live for an eternity." He stated nonchalantly. "Mom you can't lea
Alexander The God of dark wisdom and creations Pov I blinked a few times until my eyes landed on my wife who was looking at me with wide eyes. "You had." Her words were cut short by her going still. I narrowed my eyes and looked over at Meridith who was also frozen. 'It seems like I underestimated Ariella's selfishness.' The voice that had once been in Ariella's mind said slowly. My slowly looked around the room with a scowl. 'We both had the same vision so why don't you erase all her memories before she says something we all will regret.' "You had a vision too?" I asked slowly with narrowed eyes. 'Yes, myself and a few others did but unlike Hector and his allies I have more rational thoughts and won't risk my powers.' He exclaimed. "You won't risk your powers?" I asked with a mocking chuckle because we all knew nobody cared about the risk as long as I was weak and now dead. 'No I won't. It's the reason I never helped when you weren't truly a threat. While they were do
Hector's pov "What if I can't rewind time?" Maverick asked as he pointed his knife towards Alexander Jr. "Than that means you aren't powerful enough to be ruler." Alexander Jr. said without showing any fear. Maverick chuckled as he used his powers to have his knife floating in the air. "So I'll be the only one with magic if I can't go back in time?" He asked wryly. I cursed Christopher for the bad fortune he sent our way because there's no way Maverick could be this lucky without his fortune and our misfortune. "All magic will go away if Ariella doesn't wake up soon." Klaus stated in a matter of fact tone. "So I'm the only hope." Maverick stated with a wry tone. All I felt was dread and regret. Yes, Alexander was dangerous, but he also was reckless, which gave us hope. Maverick, on the other hand, was far from reckless. He spent 100s of years watching Alexander and Ariella. while never showing himself until it was necessary. Alexander would've never been able to stay away
Mavericks Pov I looķed over at Alexander and chuckled darkly. "I guess you guys couldn't wait until my son is brought back to life." I said with a bite at the end. Maybella looked up at me with glossy eyes that had me grinding my teeth together. I looked away from her and over to Alexander. "Heal my son now." I ordered. Alexander lazily looked over towards me with lust filled eyes that had me narrowing my eyes. When he looked down at Maybella and completely ignored me, I lost it. I grabbed maybellas' hair and pulled her off of him. "Fuck that hurt." Alexander said. "I didn't mean to." Maybella said quickly. "Do you like getting your hair pulled?" I asked because I had grabbed her hair tightly, and she didn't make a sound. Slowly she blushed making me narrow my eyes. I didn't have time for another goddess. "Fix my son and wife. " I ordered again. Still he ignored me completely. I looked at maybella in a warning that she didn't take seriously. "Tell him to revive my s
Hector's pov "My mom only wants you because you betrayed my father.' Alexander Jr. exclaimed, causing me to groan internally. I kept my mouth shut even though I wanted to tell everyone that Ariella belonged to Noone. "I thought she wanted me because of how good i made her feel compared to your father. " Maverick said with a wry smirk.. "I will kill you." Alexander Jr. growled as he stood up." Mia was quick to grab him by his collar before he made ths situation worse. "Let me go." Alexander Jr. demanded. "No, you are to go home." Mia said sternly, earning a death stare from Alexander Jr. "Im not a baby, and you will stop treating me like one.." Alexander Jr. demanded as he shrugged her away. "Until dad gets better, you are to listen to me." She said confidently. "I'm not listening to you." Alexander Jr said. "You have no choice since I'm going to be the new ruler. Mia declared. "The throne is to be mine."Alexander Jr growled. You are too immature to rule." Mia sang. "Yo
Hector's pov "Kill them now." Maverick roared within seconds of his son and Ariella collapsing onto the floor. I stood frozen as I stared at the hole in Mavericks sons chest. "What have you done." Zavier yelled with what sounded like helplessness. I turned my attention back to Blake and instantly stiffened as I stared at the heart that was in his bloody hand. "I didn't do anything that dad would be upset about. Anyways, mom isn't a prisoner. It's about time everyone here remembers that." Blake spit out as he squeezed the heart until it burst. Blood splattered onto Mavericks clothes, causing him to look down before slowly looking up at Blake with eyes that were full of hate and deadly promises. "I said kill them now." Maverick ordered again. "Daddy, you have to get healers to help my brother and mom." Mia said softly. Alexander gave a nod, and within seconds, healers were teleporting in. "Heal her."Alexander ordered them with a lot of aggression"What about my brother?" Mia
Hector The God of light Wisdom and creations Pov "Of course I'm still taking you." Christopher stated wryly. I gritt my teeth as I chuckled a self mocking chuckle. "Well than it's settled, I'm going on a vacation." Ariella sang gleefully. I said nothing even though every part of me wanted to yell at her to open up her eyes. Unfortunately I could do nothing with her here because the last thing I needed to do was release my anger before she left and cause the darkness in her to consume her. Once she left though I would fight even if it killed me. I knew that it was reckless but I had to do something. We had more Gods on our side now that Maverick betrayed Alexander. I opened my eyes and looked over at Alexander. The way he was looking at Maybella with lust and love filled eyes told me that if we didn't act soon he would be lost forever. He had to be able to fight the control Maverick had on him. There was no way he was not powerful enough to beat it. He had Ariella's powe
Hector The God of light wisdom and creations Pov Ariella's cheeks instantly turned red as she took in Zains words. I didn't even have to guess to know that Maverick taught him everything he needed to know in order for them to rule for an eternity. I wanted to believe that Ariella would listen and take our words to heart but I knew that she was too lost in the love Maverick somehow got her to feel. Still I could not just give up so without thinking things through I slowly spoke. "Maverick tortured you too Ariella, he helped break you for years. He helped trick you into falling back in love with Alexander or do you not remember that?" Slowly the darkness that seemed to be consuming her showed in her eyes. Maverick leaned over towards her and whispered something in her ear that I knew was against me. "You are consumed in darkness mom, you are just too lost too see what he's doing to you." Blake snapped aggressively. I balled up my fists and gritt my teeth because Blake was re
Maverick The God of dark wisdom and creations Pov Slowly a smile formed as Alexander jrs eyes dimmed and his powers came to a stand still. "Now you will be as powerful as a half breed until you agree to your loyalty towards us." I lied. He would be weak for an eternity if I achieved my goal. I would not allow him to be powerful. He was originally one of my biggest obstacles and if not for Christopher having Ariella drink something while she was pregnant with him that would slowly weaken his powers I would probably be struggling right now. Luckily Ariella put herself on a path of fate that made her weaker than me otherwise that drink wouldn't have made it to him. He would've known that Ariella no longer wanted Alexander in the future and would've been able to help his father prevent it. Unfortunately for him Ariella and Alexander kept him as a baby for too long so by the time he aged the magic worked it's way through his body. Had Klaudia done what Ariella asked and p
Ariella's Pov I stiffened as I took in Mavericks words. The only one that can do something about it listens to his every command. Was Alexander under his control? "See Ariella he controls Alexander. He's the reason Alexander is with Maybella." Zavier stated quickly. "He doesn't control me." Alexander snapped angrily. Maverick slowly looked at him with a smirk that had me going wide eyed. "You aren't to speak during these meetings. Only when I need you to create something will you be involved unless I say otherwise." He exclaimed with a wry tone. Alexander's eyes went big as he stared at Maverick with mixed emotions. "Do you understand me?" Maverick asked lowly. "Yes." Alexander mumbled in what sounded like defeat. I watched as Maybella looked at Maverick with want and need. I narrowed my eyes at her which she did not take to heart. She wouldn't take her eyes off of him and I hated it. "Can't Maybella stay at home?" I asked with annoyance. Maverick slowly looked a
Ariella's Pov (after reset)A small whimper left my lips as I collapsed onto the bed. Maverick was nothing like Alexander and I loved it. He worshipped my body and made me feel like I was the most important Goddess to exist. Even with how aggressive and dominating he was I still loved every second of it. I would never complain no matter what because he was perfect and I couldn't ask for someone better. After throwing the sword at Christoper and waking up to him laying next to me I couldn't stop myself from making love to him. I refused to ever let him go and lose him. I would accept this fortune and pray that it didn't go away. "Let's sleep alittle." I whispered as I closed my eyes. His hands went to my back and his lips went to my shoulder causing me to shiver. "I thought you said we would go until you were pregnant." He whispered against my skin. A small whimper left me as he slowly lifted me up and put me against his chest. "I was thinking we could rush your preg
