Talia remembered the dreadful day she had gotten caught with his scent clinging to her skin. But it was only because of the child growing in her womb. She'd planned to tell him that night about what she discovered a week before, but Lycaon scented her child before she could utter the words.
He'd locked her in a dungeon, telling the entire Kingdom that Poseidon had taken her by force and that it was because she edged him on. But he and she knew it to be a lie. The two brothers said nothing, cursing their mother for not being discreet since they didn't care who she fucked.
Everything went to hell after 9 months. Lycaon announced her death and made sure to send her and the child somewhere Poseidon would never find them: The sadistic Ares, who had the heart of Aphrodite. Although they'd never met, everyone knew they were together and Talia feared the jealousy and hatred of another goddess scorned. They never see reason when a woman is forced against her will.

It was a bond that was created out of surprise and the rarity was high. Medusa knew of Talia's affair with Poseidon and knew that Talia described a man she never got the version of. She figured over time he had changed, but she hadn't changed at all.
Medusa grabbed the small vile of green liquid, dumping it into the drink that Talia was preparing for him. His unconscious state gave them a clear advantage, but their blow had to be powerful and swift before he could suspect a thing.
Ares, unknowingly, drank the liquid that brought him closer to his doom.

Aphrodite wrapped herself in a long cardigan as she gazed at the beautiful view of Olympus. Although it was beautiful, she missed the castle more. She missed the different varieties of people and personalities. It made her think long and hard about returning. But Claire wouldn't be joining her. That was a fact.
Lucifer joined her and she smiled softly at the arms that snaked around her waist. "What are you doing up so early, Angel?"
She sighed. "I'm just thinking." He chuckled, kissing his mate's forehead.
