Klaudia's Pov "A promise?" Hector mumbled lowly. How could we promise to not fight for her and Alexander when we knew the consequences? "Yes a promise." Maverick said loudly. I tried to hold in my anger from him clearly listening in and instead forced a smile towards Ariella that I knew didn't reach my eyes. "I promise that I won't break you guys up. I ju." I stiffened as pain had me whimpering and slowly looking down. The gold glowing bond on my wrist had me paling. "A bond." I mumbled lowly as I stared at the tattoo like thing that I never agreed to. "Alexander created a new bond that doesn't require you to know about it and that is unbreakable for everyone." Maverick said lowly. My chest tightened as I stared at the bond that just sealed my fate. "When did he create that?" Ariella asked quickly. I slowly looked up at her with helplessness and hope that I knew was false but I couldn't help it. "When time reset my love. I needed to make sure he didn't betray us."

Ariella's Pov The defiance in Hectors eyes instantly left and in its wake was fear. So much fear that had me baffled because I just told them I wouldn't kill them if they were loyal. He made his choice and now he was scared. "Please Ariella. We won't allow you to become tortured by Alexander ever again. I promise, so please put the sword down." Klaudia stated desperately. I looked at her desperate eyes and gritt my teeth. "You can't promise that." I stated lowly. Who did she think she was? Did she think she had the ability to beat Alexander now that he held all my power? Hope shined in her eyes from my words that I would soon squash. Unfortunately she spoke before I could. "Yes I can. I won't ever let him or anyone hurt you again. We can all promise that we will never allow Alexander to lock you away or torture you again." A small smile formed that she most likely read wrong. The smile she gave me had me chuckling and pointing the sword at her. Her smile slowly dropped

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

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
