Mr. CEO

The Moon Goddess - Selene's POV

There was nothing more magnificent in the world than the blissful control over souls. Some called my powers control over love but I haven't seen it that way. There was a designated Goddess for love and if anything I would have never wanted to be compared to her.

"I am her sister! Let me in! " A voice so thin spoke as the double doors to my throne room sprang open. The voice held a hunch scandalous excitement.

"Mania." The name brushed from my lips, an almost curse yet I dismissed the armoured guards with a wave of my hand.

"Selene." She smiled in return, her dark leather dress reaching her small kneecaps. The pitch black hair went down to her shoulders. She scanned the ceramic floors and crisp white walls with curiosity. "Don't look around as if you've never been here before."

Mania snapped her eyes to me. "Watch your tone sister or I'd think you don't wish me visiting." Surely I didn't. Not when those visits involved spilling of commands.

"What in the gods do you want?" I spit out dryly. Mania gave me a wild grin before gesturing to the entrance, one she barged in from. "Come in ladies!"

I loved my sisters dearly, just not when they trampled my decor with their heels. It was almost impossible to keep a stoic expression when they stomped over the snowflakes that lined the floors, a direct pathway to my throne.

"Can't we find peace in this situation?" Another goddess appears from the alter her shiny blue hair flat on her face.

"Eirene!" I say with a smile. The Goddess of Peace looks at me in awe as her feet carry her towards me. We interlock in a tight hug before she pushes us apart.

"Why are you all here sisters?" I blow out, they smile innocently which is clearly an indicator of completely the opposite. I was long prepared for their sinister deeds.

"How do I say it...honestly? We accuse you of not loving us." The goddess of Truth pushes her way through the small group. Her golden locks were a reminder that she was a daughter of Zeus.

"How can you say that, Aletheia?!" My eyes look at her with sadness there was nothing I wouldn't do to assure them of my love for my sisters. I loved my family.

"Aphrodite. Look at me. You are the goddess of Love. Tell them just how real my love is for them!" I rise to my feet, my sisters look at me with judgement. The Goddess of Love passes me a bored expression telling me off for such useless attempt.

Aphrodite gazes at me roughly before looking away. "I cannot determine your feelings Selene. I am not the Goddess of Family that's what you have to ask Hera for." She mumbles out and I narrow my eyes. Off course she could check my soul for my emotions, yet she didn't. I could go to Hera, but I would never do that. That Goddess is pure evil.

"What you are still mourning over that mortal?!" Aphrodite exclaims loudly causing all of my sisters erupt in gasps. I widen my eyes, I still remember the day, Hera betrayed me. All I asked for was to see my beloved Endymion and what did I get? His passed out body that was locked in an eternal sleep. He was practically dead. All because Hera found out about my secret. The secret that never went unmentioned without a day going by. Love for a mortal was forbidden to anyone but the Olympians, but as my creators where both Titans, I was dreading death.

Tears threaten to spill as I raise my vision to stare into deep blue oceans eyes. "No. Off course not." I swallow, my throat going dry. "Excuse me." I mumble out, turning my back to the questioning eyes and stare at the two bowls of souls.

Mortals and Immortals. Never. Mix. Together.

Taking a huge breath I let my emotions twist into tight knots, I couldn't wake Endymion up and that was not ever changeable.

"What do you want me to do to prove that I love you all?" I spin through the group of my goddess relatives. They stared at me as if they're spirits lost on the long way to the Soul River.

"I think we have to put her to a test-". Mania is cut off by someone else entering. The double glass doors covered with shiny diamonds fling open as a deity steps into the lead hall in my Kingdom.

"Mother." We all stand to praise the Goddess of us all. Her golden lace dress shines almost blinding every single one of us. My eyes flinch at such bright light. The deity takes a second to sublime her shine just as we see her celestial sight. Her soft silky blonde locks and her deep violet eyes were the most ethereal feature.

"Sit children." Gaia commands, taking light steps she strolls, her bare feet thudding as she goes.

In silence everyone places ourselves back into our chairs and Gaia stands next to me. I was dreading what she had to say next. My spine runs with an ice shiver, causing me to vigorously rub my arms repeatedly.

"Selene. Your sisters are right. You are loving the human kind way too much." Mother Nature gives out, her white eyes stare at me for challenge or any arguments that I have prepared for her. She was daring me to mention Endymion.

"Mother. I love you and my family. I would never have beings of the Earth have the superior love over my family." I chirp out, my palms sweat. Pushing my white hair away from my pale face the goddesses stare at me emotionless. Gaia studies my face for a split second before extending her cold hand to my face.

"Then prove it." Gaia mutters out, her ice filled fingers trace my cheek making the light since I had no heart, inside my body well up with pressure.

"What..what do you want me to do? Say and I will do it." I encourage her, fear envelopes my head. I was the Moon Goddess. Controlling the moon, werewolves and humans was what my role as a deity was all about.

"Children, any ideas?" Gaia suppresses a small smile when my sisters blow out their whispers and quiet laughs. She grazes the crowd in a proud manner making me all nervous. Whatever they have a planned was definitely something even Hades would never think of. That's what a group of female deities were capable of. I was thankful Hephaestus was not involved in this, he could really add the unnecessary fire to the situation.

"Match a human with a werewolf." Says Eirene who I thought would never even fight her instinct of 'peace'. She was the innocent of them all. Her baby blue eyes watch me with a pure smile meaning no harm - when harm clearly was done!

At the sound of her voice I heard Aphrodite add something else which was unclear in the clutter of sounds which were making my ears hurt.

"We agree!" The deity ladies express their views towards our mother with joy. No!

"Alright... Selene. You know how to match soul mates more than any of us do. Please take the lead." The Mother Earth grins widely in my direction. Her violet shines stare at me with determination. Although she was the Goddess of all creation, she was also the oldest of us all, but right now she was giving an impression of anything but that.

"That is unheard of. I can't do that!" I exclaim out. I never let humans and werewolves mix. Never. Gaia frowns, not the first time I have neglected her orders, yet it still caused the whole grounds shake in gasps as my sisters gazed at me in absolute shock.

"Did you just refuse my command?" Gaia nears my face, her violet eyes boiling with purple fire that wanted to taste my suffering. Her tone of voice was anything but loud, yet it was enough to shake me to the very core.

"N-no. Mother." I stutter, my words fumbling as I am on the verge of tears. Our mother backs away looking not too pleased with my attitude.

"Make sure she accomplishes my order." Gaia gestures lightly to Eirene. "I will be on my way to inform Theia of this." With that she disappears leaving me stunned. My mind swirls with unclear thoughts and fears my own life. I didn't want to get whipped from the face of this realm. If I do, my next body will never find Endymion and that means that we will for sure never be together.

"Just complete the match. Do you really want to die?" Speaks Mania who looks terrified and both joyful of the madness that has just happened. The others deities chirp in, everyone has their own opinion making my head burn with hot lava.

"If I match two souls of different kinds it could result so many consequences!" I yell out making my sisters stand still in silence. I look at them all, breathing irregular, palms welling up with sweat, I had to decide on my next action. Was death even worth this?

"We can ask Apollo of this, can't we? He can look further into the future, that's how you can avoid failure." Eirene suggests making me look at her with appreciation, but then I recollect my thoughts, since it was her own idea in the damn first place.

"The match has to be done now. I think you can just pick a random soul from both bowls, like a...lottery!" Mania bursts into hysterical giggles, her face gets covered in red veins from so much laughter she was experiencing, she was a mad one at that.

"I don't think that's a good idea." I mumble out, my head growing tired of constant suggestions and thoughts which were just not right in any manner or form. Matching soul mates with a human and a werewolf was not permitted, that is my first and most important rule.

"Just pick at random. What harm can it do?" Aphrodite calls out her blue eyes stare at me with fascination. I take a huge gulp of the liquid in my mouth, the sensation burning my throat. I think it was called bile in the human terms. Endymion once told me when I was him.When he was still functioning...Oh, my Endymion.

"Alright." I finally agree. It was clear, I had to do this or get removed from my body which was off course not an option. Stepping closer to the two white bowls I gaze at them all, the feeling in my stomach, the feeling of pity settles in of what I am about to accomplish.

I felt completely utterly mortified as i reached one hand into the bowl filled with human souls and then dipped the other into the bowl filled with werewolf souls. I wiggle my fingers in the silky texture, they tickle my fingers and some try to even grasp on as I pick a random soul in the sea of ghostly white textures. I repeat the action with the other bowl, taking out a single soul.

Placing them both carefully into a glass bubble filled with oxygen I stare into the two separate souls. "What do we have here?" Aphrodite pushes her way through other girls that have rounded next me to watch the scene unfold.

I show them the pictures of the people that in a matter of seconds where going to be interlinked with a thread called soul-mates, forever.

"Human..Gender, Female. Name, Alexia Summer. Age, fifteen." I point out as my sisters smile in awe. They stare at me, I feel disgusted at my actions. I gaze at her brown chocolate locks which she stands in her room and curls with some sort of device that humans use these days. Her blue eyes stare at the mirror on her tiny wall as she scrolls through another device which I am once again not familiar with. I smile at the little girl, I knew everything about her. Her favourite colour, her favorite TV show, her crush. Everything.

Why did have to be her? Why of all humans out there this little beautiful angel got to suffer from my hands, from my own hands. I did not want to ruin her fate, for she would hate me if she ever knew the truth of who I was or what I have done... Or what I was about to do.

My fingers shake as I reach to reveal the human girl's soon to be soul mate. Silently praying to the moon, begging for someone who will make her life full. She deserved the best, she deserved the purest, the most handsome man out there. Hopefully moon has heard my pleas, hopefully my Alexia was saved.

The boy with deep shiny brown eyes stares at the crowd, he stands on the stage, a stage filled with pools of blood. His dark brown hair is slightly red at the ends, that's when I realise he is practically having shower in blood. There is someone else, another boy laying limp on the ground, this one has light silver eyes, the fire that surrounds them is burning even me just by looking at the scene. The silver eyed boy stands shakily on his feet, he holds the body of a girl close to him. His mate. Dead mate.

I close my eyes. No. Why does it have to be this way. Moon? Why does the purest angel has to be cursed with such life?

"What is going on down there?!Eirene gasps out, obviously terrified of seeing the opposite of peace. I look at the scene and cannot hide my shocked expression either. I have never seen so much hatred spill of each one of them. Both young boys stare at each with so much rage and anger and every single sort of hate that could ever be possible. If they never loathed each other, they certainly did now.

"We can make them all kill each other." Says Enyo, the Goddess of War. We twist our heads at the pink haired deity who smiles at her own suggestion.

"Shouldn't you be assisting our brother Ares?" Aphrodite calls out from the leather throne. Enyo mutters something back under her breath and we lock our eyes back on the glass bubble in the air.

"Who are they?" Asks Mania, her eyes twinkle in the dim light as we watch two young boys argue in a heated conflict.

"To your left, the silver eyed is a werewolf. Gender, Male. Name, Connor. Age, twenty. To your right, the brown eyed is a werewolf. Gender, Male. Name, Alec. Age, twenty." I say as I scan their identities quickly on the list of souls.

"I mean..what's going on with them both?" Aphrodite asks, I look at her, my eyes also notice Enyo who looks a bit lost in her own thoughts.

"Alec has just gained the title of a Werewolf King. Connor got left with nothing." I say out loud the harsh truth. Eirene looks at me, her eyes welling up with tears, Mania hugs her sister who cries her eyes out.

"He will die soon." Enyo looks up, her expression is completely neutral but at the corner of her face you can see confusion and the want to participate.

"Connor?" Asks Mania, she is still holding Eirene close to her who continues to wail her eyes.

"In fire. He won't able to survive." She continues on, Mania looks at Enyo completely perplexed. "How do you know that?" Mania wants to know just as we all are, really.

"Apollo...I talked to him yesterday. He told me about his dream. He said all he could remember is silver eyes and fire." Enyo looks a bit terrified which is really unusual for her attitude towards violence.

"That could have meant anything." I smile gently at her and she shakes her head repeatedly. "There is only one purpose for fire and that is to destroy life." I pause and look back at the glass bubble.

"Fire is not always death, Enyo. Maybe it is a warning? For these two?" Mania points out to the two contrasting souls that are meant to be matched.

"Maybe." Enyo says not really convinced and I turn to the final step of my task.

Taking a huge breath i draw a link between Alec and Alexia by tugging at the silver thread sticking from their souls. Interlinking two souls I say the special words.

"The two of you are linked together,

Both of you are bound forever,

Your faith will face a thousand tests,

But I know you will survive, since you are my best,

Don't let the past, both haunt you though,

Because I will guide you, till you both adore,

The feeling of love which I have for you in store."

With those final words I realise, I might have just created the biggest mistake of my entire existence.

Because now, the only person I was trying to hide away from my reality was now dipped in it from head to toe.

The truth was going to submerge faster than ever before, so right now I was going to be a coward and run.

Run, because she cannot know the truth.

Run, because she cannot know of me.

I'm sorry.
