Alexander The God of absolute dark powers pov Weeks became years as I waited for Ariella to get better. Klaus wasn't lying when he said she would only get worse. I knew my soul hated me for aging myself but I couldn't go on a conquering quest as a 7 year old to 14 year old. It would forgive me eventually. "You look stressed." Sasha said from across me. Why I came out with her I don't know but I could use some company. So when I got her request to eat out I took it without much thought. "Yea it's been a long time since you know." I sighed as I rubbed my face. I had let my stubble grow out alittle more so now every time I rubbed my face it pickled me. It was satisfying. "Oh yea. How old is she now?" She asked as she drank some of the fruity cocktail that the server brought over. I looked down at my water and groaned internally. I didn't drink anything besides water unless I was at home. The fear of losing everything to temptation was real but I would conquer it nomatter what.
Alexander The God of absolute dark powers pov. "So you betrayed me." My chuckle was one of self loathing. How could I allow this to happen again? I looked at Sasha who seemed to have paled a few shades. She had every reason to be scared because no matter who's fault it was she was dead. As I lifted my hand up with the black matter flowing freely as it was ready to be released my shoulder was grabbed and I was slammed into the wall away from the bed. When I looked up, Klaus had eyes that were glowing bright. I guess he wanted a fight and a fight he would get. "Relax. I didn't betray you, I was showing you how easy it is for you to lose everything." He snapped out right as I threw the black matter at Sasha. My eyes went wide as I watched the flashlight that blinded us hit the floor. Klaus charged into Sasha having them both fly through the wall on the right side of the bed. Small pieces of paint fell onto the floor as the wall crumbled around the hole they made. The b
Ariellas pov (18 year old) I looked at my dolls and slowly put them up. "Baby are you ready?" My father asked as he kneeled down next to me. "I don't want to go. It's not fair." I whispered as I twirled my dolls blonde hair in my grown up hands. I just wanted to stay home and play but my father had other plans for me. We had been arguing back and forth all week and he still didn't care that I didn't want to go. I deserved to stay at home. I brought my doll closer to me and started to braid her hair. If I was grown I could stay home alone And that's what I planned on doing. My doll was snatched out of my hand and put back on the shelf with all the rest before I could react. I quickly buried my head into my knees. "Ariella I know you just got better but baby time doesn't stop just because your mind does. I allowed you to stay young in your mind because I knew you were suffering but now it's time to try to grow up. Even if for just one night. All your toys will
Ariellas pov I didn't go through the front doors because there was security and my father would be easily alerted. I followed the lights around the back. A couple was walking this way so I wasn't the only one at least. I quickly made it to the side of the building and took in the beautiful garden that wrapped around the side and back of the house. Glowing flowers and plants filled the open space. It was brighter than the side of the mansion. I walked forward and touched the first flower that truly caught my eye. A purple tulip. The garden had alot of them and they were all glowing a pretty neon purple. A glowing butterfly caught my eye also as it flew onto a huge tree that made a cover with its branches that looked more like vines. The butterfly flew up high. Every time it flapped it's wings it would go dark for just a second. I grabbed the bark and put my foot onto the trunk. "Climbing isn't allowed." A low voice said having me jump alittle. I quickly turned around to a
Alexander The God of absolute dark powers pov Klaus was scowling at me from across the room. We could only assume that I did something stupid for Zavier to call an emergency meeting before they even got into the building. Klaus looked at me with narrowed eyes and even though his pain and suffering should have had me smirking it didn't. It actually had me rubbing my face from stress. As soon as everyone teleported in and Zavier sat down we all looked at him. He had his eyes closed and his head hung down low. "What is it?" I snapped out after he just sat frozen like he was lost in thought. Klaus was scowling at me again. I returned his scowl because now he was pissing me off. "She still holds the darkness." He mumbled out. Both mine and Klauses eyes went big as our heads snapped towards him. "What do you mean she holds the darkness?" Klaus snapped with a low voice that I had never heard from him before. Zavier rubbed his face and now he was really pushing my nerves.
Ariellas pov "I can't do anything with you holding me the whole time." I cried to my father who had not let my hand go since he got back from his meeting. "Once they announce Alexander's fiancée than I'll allow you to walk around." My father sighed. My heart skipped a beat but not in a good way. There was no way they would allow a sick girl to be a queen. That's probably why he never came to see me or even tried to say hi after he got back from his meeting. Part of me hoped somehow I would be the girl but it was only a small glimmer of hope. I looked over to where Alexander and the King sat and quickly looked away when he looked up. It was like whenever I looked at him he would slowly lift his eyes up. "We could go and say hi." My father whispered in my ear. "Let's grab food." I blurted out randomly to try to divert his attention. He had noticed I was looking over there awhile ago. He didn't question me and actually walked towards the food. The food was spread out ni
Ariellas pov A loud tapping against a microphone had the bright room disappearing and me opening up my eyes and looking up at Alexander who was looking back at the platform that held the microphone. "I would like to thank everyone for coming to celebrate my sons engagement." King Arthur's loud voice had me going stiff. I looked down and cringed, I was clinging to another girls future husband. I looked around to see if anyone was looking at me but everyone was intently looking towards King Arthur, even Alexander's attention was focused solely on his father. I tried to shimmy out of his hold but his grip made it difficult. I put my hands on his chest and Alexander was quick to look back at me with a curious gaze as I tried to push away from him. "Where are you going?" He asked. I opened my mouth to speak but stopped when he brought me closer to him and forced my head to rest on his chest. The warmth of him made it difficult to move away. My conflicted thoughts had me not f
Ariellas pov I was quick to look at my father whos smile was alittle too bright. King Arthur seemed happy too but that didn't bother me. The way my father was sucking up to the King did though. I couldn't stop myself from narrowing my eyes at him. When my father noticed me scowling at him he gave me a soft smile that had alittle bit of the betrayal I felt washing away. Guilt washed it away the more his smile slowly disappeared. I was quick to wipe the anger away from my face when he completely lost his smile. He didn't do anything to deserve my anger. "Can we go home and watch a movie daddy?" I rushed out when he started to look away. The guilt had completely wiped away any negative feelings. My father looked at King Arthur who looked at me before he started to speak. "Actually we will be having a private celebration dinner in the dining hall. Since you dropped your food I thought we could give you a tour until the food is ready." "But there's." I started to speak
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
