Ariellas pov "Sweetheart we are here." My father whispered. I peeked open my eyes and slowly looked out the window at the resort that I would be staying at for two weeks. When the big letters that spelled out red water resorts came overhead my excitement fluttered. "Omg thank you daddy." I rushed out as I gave him a huge hug and kiss on the cheek. "I knew you wouldn't be mad at me forever. There's a lot to do here and you'll have plenty of kids your age to hang out with." He seemed happy but that was definitely not the reason why I was so excited. "Did you bring my dance skirt and shirt? I can make the competition on time if I run." I rushed out as I looked at the time. I was suppose to fly here without my father knowing. I told him it was in town but it looked like he found out and acted like he didn't know. "Dance clothes?" He asked acting dumb but I knew it was acting. I could only roll my eyes. I should've known I got my talents from him. "You don't have to p
Ariellas pov Loud talking filled the once silent hallway so now I could only assume that we were at the event. Alax had went from holding my back to allowing me to basically hang by my legs. I guess me pounding on his back wasn't pleasant after awhile. "Here take her." Alax's annoyed tone didn't faze me. If he thought I would stay still while he carried me to this event he had another thing coming. My body was basically flung over his shoulder causing me to shriek. He grabbed my waist and turned me around to a guy who I only caught a glimpse of his black hair before he was pushing my body towards him. My body was slammed into the guys hard chest knocking the wind out of me. A strong arm wrapped around me as I started to fight. "I take it that she was a hand full." Whoever was holding me's deep and seductive voice rumbled against me as they talked. I pushed back to try to get away from them but their hold was way tighter than Alaxs. "Relax." They gritt out righ
Ariellas pov I was right about nobody noticing. I had rushed to the bathroom and stayed in there for about 5 minutes until I snuck out when I figured nobody was looking. I had snuck into the kitchen to try to find an exit. The people were too busy making food and rushing around to notice me. Pots and pans banging had my nerves on edge though. I was like a cat, every little noise had me jumping. I quickly made my way all the way to the back where a door with employees only read. I looked around and quickly went through it. It seemed like everyone was more into the couple than me. I was greeted with a long hallway that was lit up by a line of lights that hopefully led me out of this place. I quickly ran down the hall. My adrenaline was spiked and nerves were all over the place. I literally jumped for joy when I seen a sign that said dance competition with a big arrow pointing left. It was like the Gods were shining down on me. I ran as fast as I could down the hall. Min
Ariellas pov "See you guys got it. Now it's time to get ready. Don't forget to put your coats on. This will be like a outfit reveal dance." The coach yelled out to everyone after we finished practicing. I looked at Devin who was looking at me with wide eyes. This was literally the worst case scenario and now we had to actually go through with it. To make matters worse she wanted us to go out with tight pink rain coats on. Only Devin got to go out with his true clothes showing. "I can't believe she's making us do this." I mumbled as we made our way towards the side of the huge stage. We were the last dancing team to go up so once we were done, scores would be in fast since the scores were instantly locked in before the next group came on. So this was it and I doubt we would be top three. "Ariella I know you are mortified and you only did this routine to make a point but a lot of us are banking on this. So if you could pretend like your dad was in the stands or maybe
Ariellas pov "And the winner is The royalettes. Congratulations." The announcer yelled out. "Omg. Thank you, thank you, thank you." My friend rushed as thousands of cheers sounded from all sides. All the screaming was numbing and the way we won was not as satisfying as it would've been but we still won none the less. I grabbed Devins hand and held it as I looked at him for reassurance. It took a lot of reassurance from him after I did this dance last year. I was spiraling but he was there to pick me up. His smile had me smiling. His grey eyes were staring at me intensely. I had to blink a few times to get my eyes right. The light kept making them look grey and it was messing up my mind. "Is everything okay?" He whispered. I gave a small nod and grabbed him by the waist so I could bring him closer. "You know we won." He whispered as he brought my face up to his. "Yea we won." I smiled with alittle more excitement. "We won." He roared to the ceiling as he a
Alexander The God of absolute dark powers pov "It's been 4 hours Alexander. What were you doing?" Klauses calm tone had me scowling. "I was doing what I should've done when I first seen her. I would've preferred her obsessed with me at an early age over what we just walked into." I snapped out as I sat down into my chair. My anger was palpable and nomatter how much I tried to reel it in I couldn't. The only time my soul was calm was when I was holding her. "I was just making sure. You know when I said to wait I meant to when she became mature. You both are the same age nomatter how old your mind is. If she had all her memories she would be way older than you if it came to memory years." Klaus stated as he clasped his hands. "I want to know how this happened. We are suppose to have someone watching her at all times." My father gritt out. I looked at Zavier who was looking to the side. Right when I was about to speak a Goddess popped in with a quick bow. "Yes sir?
Ariellas pov "Ariella baby. I need you to wake up." My fathers gentle voice had me peeking my eye open. He was sitting down on my bed next to me with a gentle expression on his face. I had been up for a while now but I couldn't seem to find the energy to get up. The emptiness was clawing at me and I just felt like being left alone. Even with my dad near it didn't help. "I'm still sleepy daddy." I whispered as I buried my face into my pillow. His hand slowly rubbed my hair in a coaxing way. "How about you get up so I can introduce you to someone. I think you will really like them." My father said as he stood up. I wanted to say no but after what happened yesterday and how he was being so nice even when I didn't deserve it I knew I couldn't go against him. "Okay." I sighed. I slowly sat up and allowed myself to look in the mirror that was directly across from me. I turned my face to the side and inspected myself. "You took off my makeup." I pondered as I rubbed my clear f
Ariellas pov "Sweetheart I know you are upset but I promise I did this to protect you." I couldn't even look at him right now let alone talk to him. "Baby how about you order something to snack on while we wait, maybe get an appetizer." My father kept trying to get anything out of me but all I could give him was my presence. I think if I talked I would break down. Call me dramatic but when I looked in the mirror in my hotel room a few tears left as I took in how short and different I was compared to everyone else. Nobody my age was as short as me and in order to take away from my true size I wore dresses. Now everyone could see the true me. "Hey Zavier. I'm sorry I'm late." A soft voice had me looking over. My father had stood up already and was now taking off a lady's coat. Her tight black dress caught my eye and had me looking away. I didn't even have it in me to look down. My childish pink shirt and blue jeans were definitely not appealing. I guess he just wanted to pu
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
