I gasp awake, shaking violently as I wake up to a new different surrounding. I couldn't talk, just a raspy painful noise left my throat.

A pair walked in together, "Please, relax. You're safe. Don't you remember us, Adina?" The woman asked, I blinked my eyes. Trying my best to stop the shaking, I look up the man and woman. "You and Benson came here months ago?" She tried again with a kind voice.

As my panic subsided I take in the two people. The woman had familiar long black hair, her ebony skin seemed to have a natural golden touch.

While the man next to her had had one blue eye the other brown. He was just an inch shorter than the woman next to her. He gave me a welcoming smile, his teeth pearly white and so straight. A small healed scar on his right eyebrow.

Charmeine and Gabriel. I try to nod my head but I grimaced in pain. "Don't worry, Adina. We can hear your thoughts." Gabriel mentions, they make there way to me. "Try to focus on one thing you want us to answer."

Immediately my mind goes straight to Kronos. I wanted to know where he was and what was happening to him.

Their eyes stay with mine, they give me a slight nod. "Kronos, your mate, is currently getting a cleansing. By the high priestess and a few witches." Gabriel continues. "The reason why he had transformed into his original form was because he was forced by Natalia, a dark witch that we've been keeping an eye on. She recently went to her coven and joined forces with a few strong witches since her own powers seemed to have dulled." He explained to me.

I didn't know if I could trust these people either. They were the same two who had pulled me aside privately and tried to tell me that I'm, me, an angel. Or, a reincarnation of a mythological goddess. They themselves were angles, or a god and a goddess.

I couldn't believe. The two break out in laughs. "You should start to believe. You did break the spell on Kronos, you can't remember? Your powers awakened. While you are a reincarnation so is Kronos. He's the reincarnation of Hades." Charmeine spoke, talking so casually as if any of this was normal.

As if any of this makes sense.

How? None of this makes sense. My parents were human. Why didn't these 'powers' kick in a long time ago?

Gabriel sighs, "There's no telling why they haven't. So don't put too much thought into that, or regret. While your parents are just that, they were regular humans.The gods decide who to pair who with. But you aren't really blood related...if that makes sense." I just stare into space.

So basically the gods just used my parents, my mom, as an incubation center?

"Well, yes actually. They actually use the same linage of humans..." Charmeine clears her throat and looks away. "Not helping, huh?" She awkwardly chuckled. "If you don't believe us take a look at your wrist, and your neck. He crushed your windpipes and hand completely shattered your wrist...but over the night." She trails gesturing to my wrist.

I slowly bring up my arms. Examining the two. And she was right. All that was left was faint bruising. I rotated it around, astonished by the fact that this might be true.

"You have blood of gods running through your veins, Adina. That's why the demons you were around couldn't control themselves. Don't be too confused and we fluctuate between gods and angels. The humans you've been raised around believe in angels and god, which isn't wrong. There is some similarities between the truth and what is known. Obviously Zeus is the god of gods. We are angels, or messengers."

"But you," Gabriel continues. "Are an actual goddess."

I touch my neck as I stare at the reflection of myself through the mirror. The bruises dark and unforgiving shine the most out of everything that my eyes saw. What Gabriel and Charmeine where saying did make since. Even when I first met them I wondered how they knew my first name.

"Adina? Are you ready to see him?" I turned around, Gabriel giving me a smile. I nodded my head and walked over to him. Charmeine has helped me wash my hair since I couldn't really move my head. Now I was dressed in all white. I was in awe at the heavenly place we were at. We seemed to be surrounded by glass, I looked up at the clear ceiling. The blue sky the image of the day.

This was the last place I saw Benson. He dropped the kids and I here and went to the sun mountain.

Our steps echoed as Gabriel and I moved to our destination. I was nervous about what condition I was going to see him in. What if right when he sees me he'll try and attack me again. Or the-suddenly I stop.

The girls! Oh my god the girls! Where are they?! Are they okay?! Are they safe?! How could I just leave them?

Gabriel winces at my fast thinking. "Uh, the girls-they're safe. Kronos' sister, Carmen, was there the night of the attack. She took the girls in. They are currently staying in her home in Australia with her mate." I press my hand against my forehead, so it was Carmen who was there. I wonder what she was doing there in the first place.

Right after this I needed to call the girls.

Gabriel opens the door for me, I take in a breath and walk inside the bright room. The smell of herbs, oils, and fragrance filled the area. I seemed to relax as I see Charmeine coming into view. She turned around, giving me a happy smile. She walked over to us, grabbing my hands.

"He's over here." She pulled me over to the area where two men and three woman surrounded Kronos. He was laid in a bed of some sort of flower and plant. They had shaved the stubble he had been growing, he looked so much younger without it. I gently make my way in between the group. Tears rolling down my cheek as I stare down at him.

I cup his face, I grab his hand with my other. "Adina, please stay calm." A motherly voice says, collecting my hair gently. I sniffle and nod my head.

"He'll be waking up soon. I felt his heart picking up right as you entered the building." A man said, a sweet look in his eyes.

"We'll be back soon. Gabriel, Charmeine lets give these two some space." Another woman says, Charmeine waves goodbye as they were ushered away. I looked back down as I heard the door close, I sat down on my knees.

My fingers combed through his hair. My heart picked up on its tempo as he moved in a slight twitch, his jaw clenched and his muscles flexed. His eyes flashed open, the crimson color my new favorite. Anything than that awful black pit that were his eyes.

My hand is caught as I move away my touch, I gasp as he pulls me closer to him. "Adina." He rasps, I break into sobs. I rest my head on his chest, my fingers in his hair. "Stop, a goddess shouldn't be crying over some King." I look up at him and shake my head. "I'm so sorry, Adina. For all the things I've done. I should've never been so ignorant to let Natalia past me. I knew she was an evil witch when I met her, I should've known she would've put me under a trance."

"I could've hurt the one thing that matters most to me. I've caused you so much pain, I'm so sorry my mate." I was lost for words, I stare at the sincerity in his eyes. "It was worse, when I was first was with her. But right when I met you, the hold she had on me started to deteriorate. That's what she was fearful of."

He kisses my hands. He gently touched my neck, he closed his eyes and looked away. "I'll work for your forgiveness for the rest of my life. And I don't even think that'll be enough."
