Ariellas pov I peaked over at king Alexander half way through my last class before break. His presence was too much for my heart to bear. Every time he moved, my heart soared and every time he talked, butterflies attacked every part of me. It was too much. So I decided I would pretend like he wasn't here but that lasted all but a few minutes. "Did you need something?" His voice was hypnotic and I felt like my brain short circuited. He wasn't even looking at me but I still felt like he was consuming me. These chairs made him look like a giant. Him on a stool with his built body and huge legs did nothing to help ease the fire burning inside of me. I was tiny and next to him It was like I shrunk a few sizes. "Do you like what you see?" He asked as he looked at me with a smirk. My mortification was instant. "I ummm. I. You look funny in that chair." I rushed out with a stutter that was caused by his heated gaze. If my face wasnt completely red before I couldn't deny that it was now
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
