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
Ariellas pov It felt like gods were stalling on purpose. It was already 10 minutes after class and there were still God's and Goddesses sitting around. The intense conversations told me that most of them wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. I had Blake leave without me, so I couldn't just leave to my next class since it was not accessible by walking. I had two options stay and talk to the high king or leave with Blake and end up at the bottom of an ocean. I chose the former. After waiting as long as I could I stood up. I didn't want to embarrass myself but it looked like I had no choice but to talk to him with others in the room. He was deep into the paperwork that he was reading and he seemed annoyed about something. I knew that before class ended he had us write a detailed summary of chapter 35, so maybe I wasn't the only God having problems. "How can I help you Ariella?" King Alexander asked before I even got to his desk. A few of the Gods that were talking stopped and focused
Ariellas pov "Get up now. It's been four days since you've been in class." Blake snapped right before he pulled the covers off of me. I had been hiding in my room in shame. Unwilling to leave out until these thoughts and dreams left me. Most Gods and Goddess didn't need to sleep but whatever happened to me during birth made it where like Mortals I would get tired. Every night I would sleep unless someone gave me something to stay up. So every night since them horrible thoughts, I've dreamed about King Alexander. "I can't." I said with a fake cough. "You know I was going to be nice but now if you don't get up I will drag you to class with what you are wearing now." Blakes threat had me grabbing my pillow and putting it over my head. I would not back down. "You may need sleep but I know you can't catch a cold." Blake exclaimed right before my pillow got snatched away too. "I don't want to." I whined some more. It was already late in the day. Why was he forcing me to do my aftern
Ariellas pov The high king slowly sat next to Blake who looked furious. All they had to do was let me go home and everyone would be happy. The whole thing forgotten. "You know what everyone needs to relax. You were upset last time and he didn't realize that you wouldn't be comfortable with his help. You did yell at him for letting you go to sleep in your clothes." Alax sounded exhausted I completely ignored Alax and looked at King Alexander."I think it'll be best if I leave." I said with a small smile. My tears and sobs had resided and now I just felt empty. I didn't even want to be here anymore. "No." King Alexanders stern voice had me pausing. "No?" I whispered as I looked at him more closely. His eyes were glowing gold and his hair looked to be on fire. A black fire that was swaying slowly. "A simple misunderstanding is all it is so you won't be going home." King Alexander said as he wrote something down on a piece of paper. "Please." I whispered. He didn't even look at me
Ariellas pov I had been laying in bed for awhile now. I don't know why but I felt funny. Like my emotions and feelings were a jumbled mess. I would say it was because I had been in bed avoiding the high king but this felt different. Something was off. "I know you are up. We're going to be late for class." Blake spoke up from across the room. He sounded like he was by the door. I peeked my eye open just to confirm. I was right he was propped up against the door. He didn't seem happy and for some reason I felt a pang of guilt. "Sorry." I Whispered as I sat up. I would've fought going to class but it turns out my pretending to be sick really had me sick. There were cards all by my bed and a nurse came in to check on me and seemed relieved I was awake. I was in bed for 8 days and I only remember 4 of them. I dragged myself out of bed and looked over at Blake who had his eyes closed and head tilted back. "If you open up the door I can walk myself to class." I suggested as I went to
Ariellas pov Ace chuckled at my enthusiasm as I bit into another huge piece of my taco. "You know if I would've known how happy bringing you tacos made you, I would've done it a long time ago." Ace said with a small smirk. I accidentally laughed alittle causing some to fall out of my mouth. Before I could freak out or be mortified he was grabbing the piece off my shirt and putting it in his mouth. The smile he made had me almost chocking from me laughing from the situation. I had to try to stop laughing and eat my food. He started to pat my back like he was playing the drums and that just made it worse. I swatted his hand away before I died of choking due to laughter. I put my head on the table and finally swallowed my food. "You almost killed me." I laughed as I lifted my head up to look at him. "What I thought I was helping." He said with a huge chuckle. "If beating my back is helping definitely don't ever go in any field that involves healing." I laughed as I eyed him. "Ac
Alexander The God of absolute dark powers pov "You guys are sick. All of you." Ace roared, making blood coat the floor with every word he spoke. My eyes got hooded as I looked at the mess he was creating on my pristinely polished floor. "How many times do you plan on erasing her memories?" He bit out to Alax who seemed to be the only one truly giving his words any thought. "Clean this mess up." I ordered a subordinate who was standing by. They were quick to get to work. They didn't even give Ace a glance. He was a nobody in my Domain. "Oh she'll remember this." Alaxs promise had Ace paling. Every God in this school was warned and Ace didn't seem to take my warning to heart. "You are sick. All of you. What, do you plan on framing every God that gives her the time of day." Ace chuckled. His blood shot eyes and bruised face seemed like it was not enough. Aries thought the same thing it seemed. "You just won't shut up." He grumbled as he threw Ace against the wall causing it to c
Ariellas pov "Im sorry." I whispered as soon as I was sure that Blake was sleep. He had been rubbing my cheek for awhile and I just pretended like I was sleep. I was a punk I guess. The realization of what happened still didn't quite register, maybe because I didn't have any real memories to go off, it did not affect me the way it should. "I'm the one who should be apologizing." Blake's deep voice had me stiffening. He was so quiet I could've sworn he was sleep. "I thought you were sleep." I softly said as I looked up at him. His green eyes lazily looked at me. Studying me. He seemed sad or maybe just upset about earlier. "You seem to forget I don't need sleep like you do." He stated before he was getting up off the bed. I turned over and watched him walk to the chair and sit down with his legs spread in a v shape. I had been thinking about alot since I first woke up. The main thing was that I was an easy target and I needed to find a way to protect myself. I didn't want to b
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
