The forgotten Goddess and her AlphaUpdated at Sep 13, 2022, 06:21
"I sighed and slowly approached the throne. On the right side from the King of Gods I could spot Hera, as she obviously sat next to Zeus, Athena with an owl on her arm, beautiful Aphrodite who looked at me with jealousy, I think?
Left from all-father sat a man with a long beard, looking bored and clearly out of his element, Hephaestus, I believe. Then gorgeous twins Apollo and Artemis and another man.
He had neatly trimmed gold hair and short beard, and very dark, almost black eyes. He was staring at me intensely and I didn't like it one bit. His stare was dangerous, dark and intimidating. From his attire I assumed it was the God of War, Ares, himself. I shivered when a bad feeling went right up my spine and quickly averted my eyes from him. I saw him smirking in the corner of my eye.
Finally I stood in front of Zeus."
Asteria, the only daughter of Moon Goddess Selene and her husband Endymion lives her life happily and carelessly until her 19th birthday. As tradition dictates she is presented by her parents to the Gods of the Sacred Pantheon, with Zeus as their King, where she officially will be given her Goddess title.
A day that was supposed to be joyful and bright takes an unexpected turn, as Ares takes a claim on her and with support of his father he forces Asteria to become his bride.
With no other way to avoid this dreadful fate, Asteria flees from the Heavens Realm and descends to Earth, where her previous life comes to an end.
She will be reborn again only by her soulmate prayer, but with Fates' twisted ways, Asteria is woken up by accident, in an entirely new world, by a complete stranger and with no idea where to find her mate. To get used to her new reality she gives herself a new name and purpose in life, deep inside knowing that as soon as she unlocks her Goddess powers, Ares might want to claim her again.
