RHEA

After storming from Zellus’ office, and bursting into our class like we were on a mission, I sat and simmered for the rest of the day. Unable to shut my anger off, the rage coiling inside of me, yet refusing to back out of the lesson and let them see that they’ve gotten to me. Even if I didn’t hear a word that was said, too locked in my thoughts to offer my full attention.

I could feel Selene’s eyes on me the entire time, unable to stop myself from glancing out of the corner of my eyes at her. I’m not sure if it’s more to do with the fact that she’s plotting her revenge, or because she’s cautious of my next move. Either way I don’t give a flying fuck.

Now, with one hand in Zen’s, and Adonis’ arm slung over my shoulders, Xander and Khaos leading the way, we make our way out to the lake once more. With Pandora’s gifts in hand, and determination in every step we take, I see the clearing coming into view quickly as we cut through the woods.

“So she actually said that you’re named after Zeus’ mother?” Zen confirms, and I nod, relaying everything Aphrodite said to me, without missing a single word in case any one of my guys can read between the lines better than I can. Everything with these people is a fucking riddle. A guessing game between what they’re saying and what they mean.

Assholes.

“Who would choose to do that?” Khaos asks, his frown visible, even behind his dark hair falling over his face, and I shrug, struggling with words because not even I can understand the logic.

“That’s some fucked up bullshit if you ask me,” Adonis says, shaking his head before turning his eyes to me. “You don’t think they were in lo—”

“No. Definitely not. That’s not the vibe I got,” I interrupt, cringing at the mention of them together.

“Rhea, they also showed up when you were caged in Zellus’ office and left you where you were,” Xander points out, and I roll my eyes.

“Yes, because I asked them to,” I repeat, going over the same statement just like I did when I first explained the shattered seeker, but it’s still not enough to settle him.

“If you say so,” he grumbles in response, and I take a deep breath, exhaling slowly as we step out into the clearing, and our focus immediately shifts from the tense conversation we’re having, to the gifts in our hands, and the powers we’re so desperate to learn.

We silently move a little further out than usual, closer to the lake's edge, and I stand tall, like the water can see that I’m unaffected by its presence. Or my shitty attempt at it at least.

“Do you want me to throw a glamor up again?” Adonis asks, dropping his arm from my shoulders as he calls upon his trident, and I gape in surprise as it appears in his hand moments later. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to that.
