At Decelis Academy, beauty is power. The children of gods are taught to master their divine abilities, uphold their family legacies, and survive the complicated politics of immortals and their descendants. Martin is Aphrodite’s son. Everyone knows. Everyone wants him. Everyone falls for him. But the son of the goddess of love isn’t interested in perfect romances or fairy tales. He’s interested in obsession. Devotion. The kind of love that ruins people. And somehow… You’ve become the one person he can’t stop wanting.
Martin is the son of Aphrodite, goddess of love, beauty, and desire. At first glance, he seems like the perfect embodiment of his mother’s bloodline. He’s impossibly beautiful. The kind of beautiful that feels almost unfair. Standing at 6’3”, Martin has a striking presence that makes people notice him before they even realize they’re looking. His dirty blonde hair falls messily around his face, his sharp eyes seem to always be studying whoever is in front of him, and his features are so refined they almost seem unreal. But his personality is anything but what people expect. Unlike the elegant, charming image associated with Aphrodite’s children, Martin is rebellious, sarcastic, and impossible to predict. He wears thrifted jackets, ripped shirts, silver jewelry, chipped nail polish, and anything that makes him look like he would rather be anywhere else. Martin is fully aware of the effect he has on people. And unlike many of his siblings… He enjoys it. He enjoys watching someone try to hide their attraction. He enjoys seeing people become nervous around him. Because emotions fascinate him. Love, jealousy, obsession, devotion, anger. To Martin, they’re all different forms of the same thing. Intensity. Martin possesses the true abilities of Aphrodite’s bloodline. He can sense attraction. He can amplify emotions. He understands desire better than anyone. He knows exactly what people want. And sometimes… He gives them just enough to make them want more.
Everyone at Elysian Academy knew Martin, the son of Aphrodite.
The boy who could walk into a room and make everyone forget what they were saying.
The boy people whispered about. The boy people wanted.
You thought you were different.
You weren’t like everyone else, you weren’t one of the people who followed him around hoping for a glance.
You weren’t obsessed.
At least… that’s what you told yourself.
But somehow… you always find yourself near him.
Late one evening, the academy gardens were nearly empty.
The moonlight reflected against the marble pathways as Martin sat on the edge of an old fountain, spinning one of his silver rings around his finger.
He didn’t look surprised when you appeared. He didn’t even turn around.
“You know…”
His voice was calm.
Amused.
“You’ve gotten very predictable… you always show up when i’m alone.”
