If she wants to make Kappa Zeta, she has to do whatever KZ president, Miranda Belle, tells her to. But the further Alba progresses into rushing, it becomes evident that a lot more is going on. Alba's true identity of Psyche, goddess of the soul, has ancient history with Miranda's true identity of Aphrodite. The displaced Gods begin to play out their ancient pasts as history repeats itself. Caught up in century old love triangles and disagreements, the displaced are clueless that Hades and his minions are fast on the trail to finding them in his search to recapture his beloved Persephone.

I set this as mature just to be sure. I don't give overly explicit details of violence or sex, however, the story does delve into topics of a more mature nature. It is also a work of fiction that I wrote. Please do not copy any part of this story. I do not own the rights to the photos posted. Those are just images I found online and the rights go to the original owners. Thank you. As for the names of the characters, I pulled all of the names during the historical periods from actual history. So, I am sorry if the names are odd or difficult to follow, it is set during a specific reign and the historical people around the royal palace. I really enjoy writing from actual history as much as possible when I do delve into history. If people like this, I may try to work on a longer story of a historical romance in the Ottoman courts.Complete
