I watched him from the corner of my eyes, i don't know what to do, really.

Should I let him stay in Ezra? Should I ask him to leave?

Should we talk about us? What he is he doing here? 

Do I even have the right to be making demands? 

I dish the food into plates and pass his fork and spoon to him, he looks at the food first then glances at the fork. 

"What do I do with these?" He asks and I grimace, wondering what exactly they use in the realm of the gods. 

"Watch me do it" I say and grab my fork, cutting into my breakfast, it doesn't take him long, must be because he's a god. 

The doorbell rings and I stand must be Mila, I vaguely feel him following me out of the kitchen as I go to open the door. 

Mila lied, she promised not to bring Liang. 

"Hey" I say weakly and she promptly burst into tears. 

I blink, I wasn't expecting that. 

"I.. I thought. . I thought something had happened to you" She says, I pull her into my arms, refusing to acknowledge the fact that I was just gone for one whole day. 

"I'm fine, I'm right here".

"I thought you were going to do something bad, because.. Because of.

. Ez.." She breaks down again. 

I will admit that once upon a time the thought of Ezra drove me insane, so insane I contemplated things a normal human being shouldn't, but I'm stronger now, braver now. 

My eyes go to Liang's and his are locked, full short down. 

He gently pulls Mila out of my arms and into his chest. 

She burrows deeper in, my brother gently strokes her head, calming her. 

"Hey, look at me" He says, lifting her head, she stops sobbing to look into his eyes, i don't hear what he says next because I turn to see Alixi standing, watching the drama. 

I turn to them again to see Mila nodding at something Liang said. 

Liang turns to me and I nod towards the kitchen, he follows, making sure Mila is settled first.

Alixi

I watch Milo as she looks towards the kitchen, towards the human and my bride before turning to me. 

"Took you long enough" She says, sitting straight, crossing her legs, taking her position, Milo, the goddess of love. 

"Why are you with the humans Milo" 

"It's Mila, Alixi" She says and it comes back to me, how annoying she can be. 

"You left the realm without a word to me Milo, you got reborn" I say, looking straight at her black skin, Milo was never black, she had straight blonde hair. 

"I needed change Alixi" She says uncrossing her legs, acting too relaxed for someone in my presence. 

I seat back, this is going nowhere. 

"I will hurt that little human male, who seems to be your world, I will send him to the deep recesses of hades if you do not give me what I need to have" I say, calmly. 

"You wouldn't dare" 

"Try me" 

"Alixi, things are going fine here, things are beyond marvellous, I see no reason why you had to come" 

"Fine? Things are fine? The Realm has no goddess of love, things are fine? You let my bride be with other men, you let her steal souls, you let her do things and things are fine?" I ask, calmly. 

"You took too long to show up, I got fond of her, things are fine, lift your hold from her and let her be happy" She says sitting forward, imploring me, enraging me. 

"You've spent too long with the humans Milo" I say. 

"The humans are my family" She says. 

"Do not provoke me Milo, even from you I will take no insubordination." 

"You must, I've spent long with this human to know that she will never come to you, not willingly, not in that body" she says and I pull back, really looking at the goddess of love.

"You've mistaken Milo, I have no need of her, I'm just doing my duty in keeping to my Vow" I say and she leans back, getting it. 

"You are going to ruin her" She says quietly. 

"It's her punishment, the gods have willed it" 

"Since when did you listen to the gods?" 

"Since when did you fight me? Fight my decision, we are on the same team Milo" 

"No, not concerning this human Alixi, these humans are mine, I wil fight you to the seven realms if need be" She says and I watch watching me.

Milo..no Mila, this person is not who I know.
