Ariellas pov "But they, they inhaled the straw too." I rushed to defend myself. I couldn't get in trouble if everyone else did it to right? Alax chucked before shaking his head. "A straw you say?" He asked like what I said was the funniest thing he ever heard. "This. This is not a joke. I didn't know what it was and I won't do it again." I stuttered. The realization that I might make my dad suffer was taking away the fun of having friends and being here all together. "It doesn't matter, you did it and if you were to go to your next class like this consequences would've been severe. Drugs are forbidden on campus." I felt light headed as I realized what I had done. Drugs? I had heard of drugs but all I knew was mortals took them to get high and sometimes they made them do crazy things. Every kind had a different effect and some could be deadly. The high king actually made them illegal recently to any low rank God. "Am I going to get arrested?" I asked as I came to realize my mis
Ariellas pov My head felt like someone had punched me a million times. Nomatter how hard I tried to reel in the pain it just kept coming. A throbbing pain that was like clock work. No amount of tossing and turning did the job. "Help." I groaned. Hopefully my father would hear me. He was usually very alert and nomatter the time he would come running. Silence was all that filled my room besides an annoying clock that kept ticking. Who put a clock in my room? "Daddy." I called out, causing the throbbing to take ahold of my temple. I lifted my hand to try to massage my head but my arms felt like jelly. I couldn't even panic right because every time I sobbed or freaked out a pulsing pain shot through the side of my head. Where was he at? I couldn't call for him anymore because just the thought of the pain that talking caused had me panicking. He would be up to check on me soon. I hoped. For now I would try to fall back to sleep. Tick, tick tick was all I heard and it was driving m
Ariellas pov "Are you seriously going to ignore me all day?" Blake asked right as Aries class ended. I would say I was flattered to receive so much attention but I didn't plan on lying. Soon Blake would get over it and life would be easier. Having him around when I vowed to never talk again was stressful. Especially since this morning was boring and the first two classes were beyond pointless. I can't even use my powers so why they had me in a class that is to help strengthen ones powers is beyond me. Power awakening my foot. How dare they put me in bed with clothes on and than put me in a class that is a waste of my time. If the powers my mother died with could somehow awaken I think I would know by now. Everyone that looked at me was probably wondering the same thing I was the whole time, what's the point? Let's not get me started on the second class I had to take. Spell perfection. I don't have powers. "Let's go." Blake interrupted my train of thoughts which was getting old
Ariellas pov I really couldn't believe that he was really stooping this low. All I was doing was ignoring him and he decided that was grounds for making me eat squid. "Blake. Ariella I presume." A blond haired God said as he sat down from accross us. I took him in quietly as I stirred this nasty concoction with the spoon I was given. "Are you guys really eating squid?" The blond God asked with disgust written all over his face. Even he knew this was torture. "Well you see Ariella Is ignoring me and refused to tell me what kind of food she wanted, so I decided I would play along to her petty games too." Blake lied. Blatantly lied to be exact. It was like he was named Blake because they knew he would lie. It was fine I would eat this nasty squid and than once I started dating the yellow haired God nobody would have the right to ever boss me around or lie to me again. And if I couldn't get the yellowed haired God I would find someone better. Just wait and see. All my anger was b
Ariellas pov "You know what, who would've thought we would become bff's over tacos and squid." Alax mocked me for what seemed like the millionth time. "It's been a week. It's getting old." I groaned as I shoved another fry in my mouth. I actually regretted saying that the moment it came out my mouth. Alax was immature and petty at times. I should've known he would take pleasure in teasing me. "You two act like siblings at times." Blake absentmindedly said as he shoved a piece of pizza In his mouth. I doubt he even chewed the way he took a bite and swallowed. "You know both of you are rude." I said as I looked though my classwork for the hundredth time. I could bang my head against this book. None of these laws made any sense. "You're on the council right. You know I bet if you." I Couldn't even get my full sentence out before he was grunting his disapproval. "Nope." Blake said without giving me a chance to beg. "What's the point of being on the council if you can't use it to
Ariellas pov It sucked not understanding the laws that the high king created. It felt like he wanted a reason to punish someone. Nomatter how many times I read this book it did nothing for me and to make matters worse the teacher stopped allowing us to share in class. So I was forced to read to myself whenever I had time. Hoping and praying that something gave before I failed the class. I don't get how the high king decided that this book cut it. "Did you hear, the high kings here." A Goddess screeched to her friend. I would've been interested in what she was saying but for the last few days the rumor had been going strong. Everyone was freaking out and I didn't understand why. Even though he was the high king he still killed his wife to gain absolute power. That was something going around the school alot. Nobody said his wife's name but everyone talked about how she was the most powerful God until he stole everything. Every time I brought him up, Blake turned into a brick and
Ariellas pov "Well lucky for you we were just getting started. So if you would." He gestured towards the seats. It felt like the room was getting stuffy the more I looked at his sparkling eyes. An arm grabbed me and guided me towards my seat by my waist. The God who seemed to be teaching the class watched me with interest as Blake dragged me to our seat. As soon as I got into my seat he sat down and groaned. My head seemed to clear alittle bit with Blakes help luckily. I don't know why but I felt a pull to that God up front. Whatever his name was. I looked up front and observed the God who was now looking through the book we were assigned. His ankles were crossed and he was lazily going through the pages like he had no care in the world. He didn't even us his powers to flip the pages. His finger lazily skimming page by page. As he slowly licked his finger and used it to help get a page unstuck, I slowly short circuited. I couldn't look away from him. The small smile he made
Ariella pov "Read the paragraph." His demanding voice had me jump alittle. A tear fell from my eye as I realized I messed up. "Okay." I whispered. I needed to wipe my tears but I was too nervous. Before I could ponder on what to do the book was taken out my hands. I quickly wiped my eyes and looked over to the high king looking at my book. "Where did you start?" He asked in a little less hostile voice. I knew I was understanding it wrong but I still tried my best. Actually none of it made sense but I wouldn't voice my opinion. It was like a book of riddles and if he created this I definitely didn't want to offend him. I slowly stepped over and looked down at the book. My senses were assaulted by him instantly. His fresh spice smell was taking over my mind and my leg brushing up against him had my pulse quickening. I knew everyone was looking at me, so I tried to clear my mind of him but every time he moved just alittle his thigh brushed up against mine. Warmth spread through m
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
