Ariellas pov "Thank you." I whispered to King Alexander who was sitting in the grass . For our break he had taken me to a beautiful meadow that had butterflies everywhere and flowers I had never seen before. I had been walking around and picking flowers that grew back instantly since we got here. The small breeze helped cool me down every time the clouds didn't hide the sun, so I didn't have to hide away like king Alexander. "I said it was no problem. Now come over here and sit down." His friendly order was loud and clear. So one last look at the purple flowers that seemed to attract butterflies and I was walking back by him. "Thank you for bringing me here it's so beautiful." I whispered as I sat down across from him. He already had our food set up and was eating. I would've thought that he would conjure up a sandwich spread but he had something better. "Tacos." I sung as I grabbed one and took a bite. "You probably should've washed your hands first. These flowers may look mun
Ariellas pov I picked the spot closest to him because I couldn't help but be near him. He had a significant other already it was fine. I was only being friendly. "Is this seat taken?" A God asked. I looked over to the God in question and stiffened. I don't know why but I got a bad vibe without even knowing him. It was like my soul could sense something I couldn't see. "Yes." I lied to the green eyed God. His soft smile dropped for a second. The frown he had lasted for only a second before he walked away. He probably wasn't use to Goddesses not wanting to sit next to him. "Blake come here now." King Alexander call out. I looked around the class at all the Gods trying to figure out who it was. Nobody was acting like it was them or looking at the God that it was. "Blake." King Alexanders sharp tone had the God that asked me if my seat was empty rolling his eyes before getting up slowly. Did everyone act like this towards the high king? I heard he was ruthless. Slowly Blake got u
Ariellas pov I turned to look at him and froze as my nose touched his lips. So soft and what I imagined them to be. It was like my need for him intensified from just a small touch. I wanted to kiss him, needed to. "Miss Ariella you are staring again." His low and seductive voice had my mind malfunctioning. Something was seriously wrong with me but he was just so hypnotic and he smelled so good. So powerful and fit. "Are you okay?" He whispered with a raised eyebrow. To be honest I was anything but, but I would never admit that because what could I possibly say? No I'm not okay King Alexander because you are consuming me without even knowing it. "Yes. Sorry. You just make me nervous." I whispered my half truth with half the confidence. His soft smile had my heart melting and me smiling. "You dont have anything to be nervous about as long as you be a good goddess. Now go back to your seat and dont make me keep you after class." King Alexander said as he walked back to his seat.
Ariellas pov King Alexander made me stand in the corner the whole class. It was embarrassing and unfair. He punished me because I was right. I wouldn't admit it outloud anymore but that didn't mean I didn't think it. "Class is over." King Alexanders lazy voice said. I heard shuffling and chuckling before it was completely silent. I would've asked if I could leave but I wouldn't talk to him unless he talked to me first and since my body was still stuck and I couldn't move I guess I would be standing here for awhile. It seemed like there were thousand of little dots on the wall that you could only see if you were close up. I swear It had been an hour and I couldn't seem to count another dot nor ask to leave. I was stubborn my father use to say and it was showing. A few hours later and finally I heard shuffling of paperwork before the tapping of shoes on the floor. I missed all of my other classes and didn't plan on eating. So hopefully he allowed me to leave so I could go to my ro
Ariellas pov Thoughout the whole shower I couldn't think of anything besides king Alexander. He consumed my mind and fantasies. My little obsession was no longer little. I wanted him, needed him in any and every way and I hated it. Why did he come up into the bathroom with me and push up against my naked body? He broke me. Broke my mind and my soul. Making it need him to be able to function. His knee did things that had me questioning my own sanity. Did he know what he was doing? Or was it an accident. He acted normal even while I was falling apart. Was he trying to intimidate me and it went wrong? Could I have reacted to his actions wrong? My father never thought to teach me about anything that was not appropriate unless it involved war. So I spent too long in the shower trying to read into his actions. Hours of laying in the bed and hours of dreaming of him and still the only thing that made sense was if he wanted me he would've taken me. He was the king and I was naked but s
Ariella pov The black dress that I believe Blake got me, fit me perfectly but the problem was I felt to exposed. My legs looked great yes. I can admit that being as tall as an above average mortal never helped my cause since most Goddesses were the same height as the Gods. Unfortunately I can't even reach Blake's chin and he's alittle shorter than his father. So the dress worked wonders on that but my cleavage was showing and only once had I been so exposed. "You look amazing." Cindy sang from behind me. I could only laugh at her. It seemed like she finally cracked and told me her name. She acted like it was a secret and all. "You look amazing too." My huge smile was all genuine. She did look beautiful and I didn't want to think that she only told me her name because I promised her I would try to get her into the party. If she couldn't go I wouldn't go. "You know you should probably try to not think around anyone because." She was interrupted mid sentence by Blake. "Seems like
Ariellas pov I had never been to a party before let alone a ball, so you could only imagine how much my eyes wandered around taking everything in. So many Gods and Goddess from the academy were dancing and laughing. The upbeat music was loud so it was nearly impossible to hear anything. Let alone laugh at something someone said. The lights went from bright to dark within an instant and multiple glowing masquerade masks lit up the dance floor. Dresses glowed and hair looked to be on fire. So many colors. My attention was taken away from the dance floor as my arm was grabbed and I was tugged forward to what looked to be a refreshments table. Drinks, so many different kinds of drinks filled the table up. The glow of each drink sparkled with whatever color the drink was i. the light. "Pick your poison for the night." Alax said causing me to stiffen. "Poison." I whispered to myself. Did he really expect me to drink poison? Was it really poison and if so what would this do to us? "Your
Ariellas pov Every part of me was aching. It felt like someone had taken my body and cut it into a million pieces. I was sore and just a simple move of my leg had me wincing. I was suppose to heal if I was hurt. Why did it hurt so badly? I rolled over and groaned into the pillow. The soreness between my legs as I stretched had me stiffening. Why did I feel like I had done something last night that I shouldn't have? Why did I feel so dirty and sticky? I didn't have to wonder long because hundreds of images filled my mind of the mysterious God who I decided it would be smart to give my purity to. All the things he did to me. All the ways he made me feel had shame washing over my face. I turned wanton last night. I was a scarlet and I lost my purity in one of the worst ways possible. To make it even worse I didn't regret it. I should but it was like magic. He knew what he was doing and I allowed him to show me what to do. All I could think of was him. Every thought was consumed by
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
