Chapter 60 Broken Bonds And Silent Resolve

• Aphrodite's Point of View
• The dawn filtered softly through the windows, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I got out of bed feeling light, even if just a little. The Moon Goddess’s words echoed in my mind, and for the first time in days, hope hummed in my veins. With a renewed determination, I quietly slipped out of the room, letting Zeus and Selene sleep as I went to the kitchen.
• Cooking had always been a small pleasure of mine—a little ritual that brought comfort and warmth. I decided to make their favorites: for Zeus, I prepared the herb-roasted potatoes he couldn’t resist, and for Selene, fluffy pancakes topped with berries and honey. The sizzle of the pan and the gentle aroma of herbs filled the air, bringing a faint smile to my lips.
