Ariellas pov "You need to stay still." The Goddess who was doing my eyelashes snapped. Who would've thought that I would fall for King Alexander's tricks. I knew he had alternate motives for our lunch date this afternoon but I just didn't think he would have us going to a dinner that one of his associates was hosting today. It seemed like the Goddess was waiting for my acknowledgement by the way she stared at me with a raised eyebrow. "I'm trying but it's taking forever." I groaned. The Goddess scowled at me before she was lifting my chin up again. She wasn't rough but she did have a firm grip. I wanted to roll my eyes or something but all I could do was sit with one eye open as she looked back and forth at her work. I would think this would be the time to use her magic but what was a powerless soul to know about the convenience of having magic. A door shutting had her stiffening alittle. "I'm glad you are finishing up. I thought we would have a problem." King Al
Ariellas pov "King Alexander." A God rushed out as he bowed down in front of us. We hadn't even teleported in more than a few seconds and already everyone was bowing and saying how glad they were that he could make it. King Alexander was quick to pick up conversation on business plans or codes that made no sense to me. I tried to keep interest for a few second before I looked away and slowly took in what looked to be a huge banquet with waiters walking around with food and wine. It looked like something a simple mortal would have. There were round tables spread out with white table clothes. There were 4 to 6 plates set out and empty cups on each table. Some seats were taken with Gods and Goddesses talking, while mostly Gods were walking around or standing up and having conversations. There was actually lots of food in the far back corner, which made no sense since there were waiters taking orders. Dozens of waitresses just to serve powerful Gods. I slowly s
Alexander The God of absolute dark powers pov (Past memories, wedding night) "Did you like the drink I made you?" I asked as I watched her stiffen and go alittle pale before her cheeks went a bright pink. I could only imagine how hot she was right now. "What? What? What did you give me?" Her stutter was adorable. She was naive and Klaus did a horrible job at protecting her. "I would lie but since you won't remember this there's no point. Its dark bane in it's true form." I stated as I studied her face. I could see the fear fill her eyes. The way she grabbed the edge of the table like that could help her fight it had me chuckling alittle. Everyone knew that dark bane in it's true form made you unable to lie nomatter what type of protection you had on you and because of her ripping that page she wouldn't be lucky today. I knew she was hiding something and Alax confirmed it when she said the kind of God he was, which was impossible for her to know before. S
Ariellas pov "Can I be excused?" I rushed out. I tried to hold the frantic thoughts that were running through my mind in but still it was like my thoughts were being pulled out one by one. Every memory that I had with Klaus came creeping in and now that I knew he could read my mind I couldn't sit still anymore. "Is something wrong my love?" King Alexander's wry tone didn't go unnoticed. We both knew that somehow he one upped me and I was a sitting duck. I looked at him holding his fork mid bite. His eyes shined with amusement and his small smirk was like a slap in the face. Whatever I didn't remember after I danced with Alax was the key to knowing what I was up against. How did I go from being clueless and in love to a rebellion that was trapped and in love so fast? "You look kind of anxious. Maybe you should drink something to help calm your mind." Zaviers voice came out of no where right as a pink bubbly drink was put in front of me. "Zavier it's so nice t
Ariellas pov. (Warning read with caution.) I didn't have time to think about my constant mistakes. I had to escape. I did a quick scan and dread hit me before determination took its place instantly. Dozens of Gods and Goddesses blocked my way to escape. I couldn't teleport out because they would all follow me and I would be powerless as soon as I got too far away from King Alexander and I doubt he would come near me until he found a way to beat me now. I had to find a way out fast though before my mind was consumed by the darkness of the book, so it looked like I would be fighting. I skimmed the room and It seemed like all the Gods and Goddesses around me thought the same thing. Power swirled around certain Gods hands, while other had glowing eyes that told me they were already trying to break through my barriers with whatever powers they had. I needed Klauses help now more than ever right now. I was never suppose to use what was hiding inside of me around
Ariellas pov I had to find Klaus before I was consumed or before the block on my mind that I put up faultered. I looked around and stopped at King Alexander and my heart twitched as he gripped nothing in front of him with his head hung low. I was hurting him every time I used power without his permission. It was making him look weak. Tears were dripping from his face and I could only imagine the pain I was causing. I couldn't think of that right now though. "Ariella you are hurting my father." Alaxs desperate pleas clawed at me. I knew I was but today would be the first time I didn't lose to him. Years of losing to Klauses simulation and I finally was strong enough to walk away. "Let me go and I won't kill anymore and I'll allow your father to be free of his pain." I ordered out my lie with the voice that Klaus taught me to use to show my dominance. I was the most powerful one in the room and I needed to kill. I had to leave before I killed everyone in this room. "
Ariellas pov This was impossible. I was powerful enough to see the switch. King Alexander and Alax wouldn't have been able to do it. Even when I looked away I would've noticed when they stepped in front of me. "I see you are confused." The Alax that teleported out stated. This Alax no longer had purple eyes. His eyes were as red as an apple or as bright as a fire that had endless oxygen to fuel it. He didn't bother to explain. He just chuckled before he was teleporting out again. "Let me explain." The King Alexander who was clearly Alax stated as he stood up. His grip was like steel and his eyes were like a storm waiting to destroy the next civilization that wasn't prepared. I guess that civilization may as well be me. My chin was grabbed and I was forced to look into his angry eyes. He smirked as his finger slowly caressed my chin before he was roughly yanking it to the side towards Zavier who was still sitting down but now instead of looking distraught he actually
Alexander The God of absolute dark powers pov Ariellas was quick to pass out on my chest giving me a sense of relief from all the pain she was causing me. I was able to finally allow my body to heal. It had taken every bit of will power I had to not blow everything to pieces. I was a great manipulater but even I was almost beat from the force she threw at me. If my nose had bleed to early or I had gotten to weak to walk in front of her she would've known instantly. "Here I'll take her?" Klaus tried and failed because he wouldn't be taking my wife. Blake was already grabbing Ariella anyways so he would have to fight all counsel members to take her today. "She's fine." I snapped out. A few droplets of blood spat out my mouth reminding me that I looked weak just now. When I said I had to fix my broken kingdom I wasn't lying. I knew that now multiple Gods questioned my power or feared her. "She's out of control. If you go near her she will access the book within her
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
