Arielle's POV.

"Please do not do this, Arielle, I beg of you! I love him!" Riley cried out and it felt like something within me was ripped open.

I couldn't even bring myself to question her, all I felt was pain and one question. Why him?

Of all the people in the realm— why did the goddess have to make her heart fall for him?

"I know it's crazy and maybe I am crazy— but please you need to keep this between us…" she cried, grabbing my hands even tighter.

At this point, I felt stuck in a dangerous void. My heart didn't even know what to feel anymore. It was angry at first when I discovered the whole thing but realizing what Jason meant to her, all that energy felt wrong.

A bubble formed around my heart. I was lost between listen to two voices. The good and the bad.

On one hand I wanted to listen to her. I wanted to help her protect her friends but on the other hand, there was the innocent people Jason had killed.
