Aphrodite
I wake up to find someone stroking my hair. Luckily it is Ares, not Hephaestus. I don't hate my husband, but I love Ares more. It's not infedility. I don't feel guilt. I was married without my consent so I simply don't acknowledge the fact that he's my husband. That doesn't stop him from trying to catch me without Ares though. Pathetic.
"What's the matter, my lady?" Ares asks. He looks majestic. His blue eyes are so deep I can picture the whole universe in them. "Hey! Are you listening?" he says waving his hand in front of my face. "Um yeah I am" I reply.
"Good. I want to talk to you about something"
"What is it?"
"About Hera" his voice softens. He misses his mother I think.
"Oh that. Any clue where she is?"
"Unfortunately no. Father looked everywhere. She is nowhere to be found. He's afraid she's in danger"
"I think she is fine. I guess I know why she ran away too". Of course I know. Her husband is such a player. I'm surprised why no else guessed that. She was a bit relieved after the treaty between the children of Gaia forbidding any relationships with mortals but he broke it. Twice. She was angry when that happened and made Zeus swear on the mighty river Styx that he won't ever cheat on her again. But just over a hundred years later, camp Jupiter saw another son of Jupiter join the legion. Poor Hera must be very, very angry with Zeus. A goddess of marriage definitely deserves a better marriage.
"Ran away?"
"Yeah. With the new camper showing up at camp Jupiter and Zeus claiming him as a son, obviously she is angry."
"Oh! Father never thought about that"
"Of course he didn't. If he cared about her feelings for a second he would do such a thing in the first place. He is the worst husband ever. Anyone who is a bad lover gets on my nerves"
"Calm down Amor"
"Alright. " It's funny how a God of war can be so soft. I hug him.
