Theo's POVHave you ever looked down into a perfect set of blue eyes and melted from the inside out whilst falling in love with the very being you've stared at?I have, twice over but this time it's different. It's separate kind of love looking down into the eyes of my child.I wipe the white looking cheese off her skin gently, out of her face, eyes. Even her ears and then I place the nappy on her and pick a white all in one to dress her in.Celeste has been busy for days getting Lilith's old clothes ready for Lora and it seems right to dress out child I'm her mothers clothes. Even if Lilith's parents never kept her past a few months.In cradle Lora to my body, her warmth radiating off of her as I bring her up to my nose to smell.She's sweet like vanilla and spicy like cinnamon and I notice that she's the scent I found on Lilith a few days ago. It's exactly the same.I look down into her face. Her eyes holding my own as she wriggles with her mouth open.Her hair is the same colour as

Theseus's POVIt's not been but a few hours since the child was born and I can already feel the shift in the air.I suppose it's this child's birth that is the deciding factor of whether and when I take over Zeus's roll as God.I don't want it, the responsibility of controlling the world as we all see it but after his little stunt of letting free the bear hounds I see no choice but to oppose him.I was never there to protect Lilith, by way of my own choice, admittedly but even that was forced by Celeste.I know I went along and I had hoped that Lilith might have been the key to transforming Hati. That Celeste wouldn't have to come to the conclusion that Zeus was right and that she would have to make this Hati's last life cycle.I'm not sure what has her so hung up. Obviously there's a lace of love in the mix, whether romantic or otherwise is undetermined and I don’t think she will ever admit to having feelings for Hati or her friend Bart. Both of which I know she holds dear to hersel

Zeus's POVLife often passes by with the same old routine.I am God, and in turn for being that I get what I want when I want, and I'm not ashamed of that.There's something about being the person everyone worships. The one they turn to when things are going haywire.The surge of happiness I experience when it's me who has the referendum choice of what happens in their small and insignificant life is abominable.Yet it's been this way for millennia, and I do not wish for that to change.But I cannot deny the change that I feel is coming.I've felt weak, my abilities shorting out whenever they feel like it, and I have that dreaded human gut feeling sitting deep within my stomach.Theseus is vying for my title, he wants what I have, and I'm sure he won't stop until he gets it.A god that is reaching far above his pay grade, so to speak. Theseus used to be one of my favourite underlings that I owned.He was efficient, loyal and to the book, but since he and Celeste decided to sire a chi

Celeste's POVI excuse myself from the kitchen and my guest to go upstairs to the very top floor where Theseus's pool sits waiting for me.Swirling my hand in the liquid I summon my husbands. Watching his movements as he stands before Theseus's looming mansion.Lilith is inside, that much is clear between the conversation Theseus and Khai are having.Well, actually, they are more like arguing because Khai wants in and Theseus has taken them as far as he possibly can.You see the thing is Zeus has a spell binding his land to himself and without his explicit permission no one is able to pass the boundary.He must have wanted Lilith to visit, hence she's inside. But why?What does Zeus want with Lilith?I stand at the pool watching for an age, noting how anxious Theseus is.His behaviour of late had been strange, and at first I thought perhaps the little mishap with Zeus had caused him to become distant. But that isn't it.There's something more going on, his mind overwhelmed, I think.

Zeus’s POVLilith disappears immediately, her need to tend to her young heightened because she’s been away.Her guilt smells flavoursome and her mates jealously is laughable.Theo follows along behind her like a lost puppy dog whilst Celeste tries her best to distract me.“Zeus, please… come in,” she states walking for me.I appraise her with my eyes, remember just what’s below those clothes she uses to cover her body.That night still plays out in my mind. The way I made her worship me at the table. How well my elixir worked to help me bed her.The feel of her soft skin below my hands.The sweet taste of her lips on mine.Victory… the victory of finally taking the one goddess I had never had because of that stupid promise I made to her mortal father.“Celeste,” I grin, “where Theseus?” I ask despite the fact I know he’s outside my home waiting for the opportunity to enter with Lilith’s other mate.“You should know better than I, after all, he went to your home to find our daughter,” s
