Aria sighed with happiness as she took her first sip. Emerial gave her a goofy smile as Rhea put a plate of bacon and chocolate chip waffles in front of her. She turned around and made a plate for Emerial, and then brought them both bowls of fruit. Shad and Ebony had a platter of sausage in front of them. Rhea grabbed some of the sausages before Shad and Ebony could eat them all. They were all happily eating when the sliding doors opened. All of them stopped and turned to see who it was.
“Are we interrupting?” Eros asked with an odd look on his face.
“No, we just had a long night last night.” Aria told him.
“What happened?” Gaia asked walking into the house.
“Did another of your powers unlock?” A woman behind Gaia asked. She was tall and thin, with hair that was white on top ombre style to black tips that blended seamlessly into the silk of h
I couldn’t believe my eyes. Lucifer had just walked into my backyard with Michael, Selene, Craig, and a woman I hadn’t met yet. By the looks of the way Craig and the woman were together I was sure she was Paisley, his mate and Luna. I could feel my anger boiling to the surface. He should have stayed away.“I brought him here Aria.” Michael said before I could speak.“Why?” Emerial asked crossing his arms.“I think that Lucifer should be the one to explain himself.” Michael said. Everyone waited for Lucifer to talk. I stared at him, he didn’t speak, he wouldn’t even look at anyone.“Look at me.” I finally said. He looked up and I saw the flash of fear in his eyes before he wiped all emotions from his face. “I’m listening.” I said softer than before.“I came to you last night because I to f
“Our Marks are more on the soul than on the surface. You will have a Mark similar to Ebony’s. Probably the same color but I’m not sure what the design will be. It all has to do with our bloodlines and what we mean to each other.” Emerial explained.“Do gods/goddesses have marks that we give?” I asked.“We do. Though they are rarely given. Hades and Persephone are the only gods I know of that have them. Once a god or goddess gives their mark they are with that induvial for this life and the next.” Gaia explained.“I gave my mark to your great grandmother Grace, she couldn’t mark me, but I wanted to ensure that we would find each other again.” Eros said thoughtfully.“Have you?” I asked him.“Not yet. I am hoping it will be soon though. I miss her.” Eros said.“It will be Eros. She is making her way to the River Lethe.” Hades sai
Aria I woke up that morning feeling so strange. It was like I hadn’t slept but I wasn’t tired, and everything was too light. My desk, the door, my bed, I broke everything that morning. And I had the dirtiest thoughts running through my head. I couldn’t stop them, I was sure it was a hormonal thing, I thought I was getting my period early. It was a really weird day.I got dressed, ate, and left the house for school before Rhea was up so she didn’t know anything was going on.“I would have made her stay home if I had.” Rhea interjected. Before I got out of the car, I took a few calming breathes and I grabbed my backpack and locked the doors behind me. Everyone was pretty nice to me. I had only been at the school for a week now. But again, today was stra
“She is a goddess. Aren’t you all handfuls?” Leo asked.“Not all of us, but most. Unfortunately, with Aria having no idea what she is I’m going to need you to keep it a secret as well. I can wipe it from your minds if it helps. I can’t risk her finding out before Gaia or Dimitri tell her.” Rhea said.“Do you know when her parents will be telling her? Our son has been talking about her since she started on Monday. We thought it was just fascination with the new girl. Knowing that she is a Goddess, well, that complicates things. Being an Alpha, he will be drawn to her power and obviously her scent affects him.” Laura said.“Maybe you can tell him that she’s a Fae. They don’t live in this region, so you won’t run into any. Aria doesn’t know anything about the supernatural world, except for what she reads. She loves books, especially fantasy, she would
Train all you want little goddess it won’t save you. I’ll kill you and the other lesser beings before you get your full powers. I’ll have to imprison the Primordial’s, that won’t be easy. Zeus’s prison should hold them. I can’t believe how stupid Zeus is. He actually thinks he can control me. And for what, so he can take the little goddess out and keep his hands clean? There isn’t even a prophecy about her. She is completely new and not a threat to his power. Well, not directly, her power is for something else. She doesn’t want to rule the Gods and Goddesses. Power hungry idiot. Yesterday Morning“I will not have this little human become more powerful than me! I am the most powerful God and I rule them all!” He bitched like a child. I had to keep my laugh hidden, his ego couldn’t handle it. And I nee
“We need to talk Little One.” Eros said to Aria.“Alone?” I asked.“Yes and No. Hades, Lucifer, Selene, and Michael need to be with us. After we have talked then you can decide if you would like to tell everyone else.” Eros said.“Alright. Everyone, why don’t we break for lunch.” I called out. Everyone went into the house except for those Eros had named. Emerial looked back at me and nodded at him to go inside. He reluctantly did. Gaia looked at us curiously before I tapped my temple. I knew she could listen in, I suspected that she had been doing it since I was a kid. She smiled and turned back to the rest to help put lunch together.“What do we need to discuss?” I asked.“Why did you tap your temple?” Lucifer asked.“Gaia, is listening in. She will keep what’s said to herself un
“So, it would seem.” Najera agreed. “Kallem, I understand this is a shock for you. That is why I gave the option for you to leave. Most witches find out about their powers from their families well before they manifest. You didn’t have that. You do need to watch your tone with me though. Your disrespect will not be tolerated for much longer.” Najera said.“I need this discussion to be kept amongst us. Others, lives are at stake, so please take the oath of silence and learn.” I said.“Are we in danger?” Kallem asked.“You very well could be, yes.” I said.“I don’t know if I can be apart of this. I’ve just gotten to a safe place and now this?” Kallem said.“Kallem, sometimes we are asked to help in dangerous situations. We only do so when we know that the risk is worth it for the good of everyone. We did the same with you. At first, we didn’t know tha
“Expand your wings, let the air fill them. Once you feel like you the wind is going to push you over hop. Just a little hop.” Gaia told me. I hopped and nothing happened.“Was that it?” I asked.“No. You didn’t let the air fully into your wings. Stop getting ahead of yourself. You need to be patient.” Gaia scolded me.“Ugh, fine. So, wait until I’m going to fall over and then hop?” I asked crossing my arms and huffing.“Yes.” Gaia said giving me the mom look. I waited until a gust of wind came and just before I started to tip over, I jumped. I instantly regretted it. I was supposed to hop, and I jumped. Now I’m up about ten feet in the air and I have no idea how to get down. Sometimes even I hated my stubborn streak. Of course, my mom was laughing at me. Emerial was watching me closely and noticed I was sc
