    About this ebook

    Pandora wants nothing more than to be a Watcher. Even if that means dealing with an unsupportive mother, a sleazy trainer, and mental and physical challenges most never surpass.

    But that all changes when her little sister disappears from her own betrothal party.

    Seph has always been the good girl, and it’s no wonder their mother managed to get the Golden Prince — Zeus himself — to agree to a betrothal.

    Except Seph isn’t as happy as she should be and Zeus isn’t as loyal as he should be.

    And when Pandora crosses paths with ex-Watcher and current brooding alcoholic, Apollo, the night is already overwhelming, and it’s just getting started.

    Because they discover that it isn’t just Seph missing, but the Box is too.

    The Box Zeus used to imprison the seven Titans hellbent on destroying Olympus by himself. The Box Zeus gave to Seph as a wedding gift.

    Now, Pandora must embark on a search for her little sister, regardless of what she has to sacrifice in order to find the truth. But she must also search for the Box before it’s opened and chaos is unleashed on Olympus once again.

      Goddess Undone - Isadora Brown

      Chapter One

      K ick him in the testicles, Pandora, the steel voice said as I pummeled the ripped punching bag in front of me. There is no such thing as gentlemen’s rules when you are engaged in battle. And if you long to be a Watcher, you must know this.

      I lifted my right foot and kicked out. If this bag was a man, I would have squashed his testicles like bugs. A small smile teased my lips as I finally released my hands from protecting my face and let my body finally relax. It had been two hours. Two hours since my individual combat training with Cronus began.

      I was lucky he even wanted to see me.

      I knew this.

      As such, I tried to make sure I adhered to exactly what he said.  I wanted him to know how much I appreciated his time. 

      Why relax? he asked in his low, sultry voice. He positioned himself directly behind me, and though he wasn’t touching me, I could feel the heat radiate from his body.

      I held my breath. I tried not to stiffen. This was what Cronus did, I reasoned. He found interest in a trainee and took them to bed. It was supposed to be an honor, a payment for his time.

      I wanted nothing to do with him.

      He was extremely beautiful in a way no one could argue with. That much was true. Most goddesses fell for him, and unless their virginity was promised to someone else, it was offered to him. A way to show appreciation for his time.

      Did I tell you we were through? he asked in that same voice.

      I wanted to swallow. I wanted to moisten my throat. Instead, my eyes turned glassy and I remained rigid.

      Tell me, he said, stepping in front of me. He reached his hand out and tilted my chin upwards so I could meet his eyes. When is your sister’s betrothal ceremony?

      Why? I asked before I could stop myself.

      Stupid, foolish girl.

      I should know better than to question him.

      Do you dare talk back to me? he asked, extending his thumb until it brushed underneath my chin, tilting it up until I met his eyes. You are much smarter than that.

      I said nothing. I just hoped he couldn’t see my knees shake. The winds teased our hair. The sun was setting. Students would be crossing the fields, getting ready for dinner. A chill went through my body but it had nothing to do with the cold that stained the October day. Just because it was a well-known occurrence did not mean the dean and the academy’s prestigious council wanted Cronus to make his intentions known on such a public display. At least, I hoped they didn’t. 

      Two hours, I managed to get out.

      Excuse me? His brow furrowed, wrinkles marring the porcelain skin.

      Seph’s betrothal announcement is in two hours, at six thirty, I said. Then, just in case, I added, Sir.

      The corner of his lips flicked up but I would not say he was smiling. Instead, he looked at me with his pale blue eyes and waited. 

      Will you be in attendance? I asked, loosely holding my hands behind my back. 

      It was not what he wanted from me. I knew that, but it allowed me to continue to speak with him without addressing the tension that hung between us. Sexual, on his part; concern on mine.

      I have not decided as of yet, Cronus said. He stepped away from me and sauntered over to the window overlooking the doors into the training facility. He was tall enough where he did not have to crane his neck back and look out the window whereas I could not see out unless I crawled onto his shoulders. I take it Zeus’s two brothers will be present as well?

      Hades and Poseidon? I asked, furrowing my brow. I assume so, though I do believe that Hades and Zeus aren’t on speaking terms.

      Cronus snorted, pulling his gaze from the window to face me once again. When are the three goons ever getting along completely? Cronus asked. It was strange to hear the teasing tone come from him when he was always so serious. I am surprised to hear Hades would choose to leave the Underworld so soon after Zeus delivered the Box of Chaos to him. Would Hades not want to ensure that the box is heavily guarded?

      I believe Zeus is bringing the Box of Chaos with him tonight, I said. At least, that was what my mother remarked this morning over breakfast. He wants to present it to Seph as some sort of prize.

      He’s giving her the Box as a wedding gift? Cronus asked, wrinkles bridging his straight nose, eyebrows raised and lining his forehead.

      I nodded, stifling a smile. It was so typical Zeus to do something completely over the top and completely moronic, especially for Seph - someone he barely even knew. I didn’t understand why Mom insisted on this betrothal. Betrothals were so rare nowadays. Only the Divine still used them for obvious reasons. They wanted to make sure the gene pool stayed pure and all that nonsense.

      I swear, if he wasn’t the Golden Prince, he would be… Cronus ran his fingers through his black hair and huffed a sigh. I shouldn’t finish that sentence. He still is the Golden Prince, after all. And he will be your brother-in-law soon.

      I rolled my eyes, crossing one arm and rubbing the other anxiously. I did not wish to speak to Cronus about Seph or Zeus or anything. If I wasn’t engaging in some sort of physical combat, I preferred not to be around him. I did not want him to misread the situation. I did not want him to get the wrong impression.

      I should probably go, I said, trying to keep my tone as casual as I could.

      Yes. His eyes focused back on me. I am sure you are aware that this conversation is far from over, Pandora.

      I ignored the way
