Hades POV I was totally against her walking or going anywhere near Purgatory, just for her transformation, but to know that Rose accepted me made me so happy. “The transformation can only occur during a lunar eclipse” Lachesis answered, as we asked her the next day when we met in the library. ''That's a week from now,'' Rose said. She sure knows her lunar cycles. ''The next one will be in five months," she said. ''There is something you both must know.'' Lachesis said. ''What's that?'' I asked, she said. ''When my lady emerges, she will be desperate to complete the mating process. You must prepare for the ceremony before the transformation.'' Lachesis said, and I looked down at Rose as she looked at me with wide eyes. ''Leave us,'' I instructed, When I saw the fear in her eyes, she simply bowed and disappeared. ''To complete the mating process means sex, right?'' She inquired, and I nodded. She backed away from me, ''oh my. Wait, I've never done this before, Hades. I don't th
Hades' POV. "Do we really have to go?" Rose whined as I practically dragged her out of the palace. "But of course we do, I promised Nile that we would visit him,” I replied with a slight grin. "Can't I sit this out? I'll be safely tucked away in Cerberus's chambers with Sarah." She said and pulled the puppy dog's eyes, which almost worked. The key word is ‘almost.’ "No, you can't sit it out. You need to know our allies. Besides, you can't keep complaining that you don't know my subjects when you hide away in the palace," I said. She began to protest but quickly stopped. "Good point." She muttered with a pout. I smirked. “That's my girl." I kissed her pouty lips. "Don't worry. It will be over soon. I just have a few things to discuss with Nile.'' I reassured her, and she nodded in agreement. "Okay," she muttered, as outside, the grim carriage was waiting to take us to the Griffin's Isles. “Good day, my lord." Dear Jake, My head grim, greeted. "Yeah, how do you do, Jake?" I re
Rose's POV. Abigail, Nile’s mate was a genuinely kind person, a cheerful woman. For the short period of time since I've met her, she has had a smile on her face. She greeted everyone we met along the way as we moved towards this dome-shaped building. "It's nice to have another human here in the Underworld," she started. "Especially one that's my lord's lady," she said with a smile, that I returned. ''As much as I miss my life as a human, I wouldn't exchange this for any other.'' She continued. "Will I be able to say that one day?'' I asked. ''You know you will. Once you give my lord a chance,'' she replied. ''That's what everyone keeps saying. It's like no one is even thinking about me or how I feel. I mean, I fully intend to give him a chance, but..." I whined. I know this may seem childish, but I have experienced a lot in the past few days. "Oh, my lady, I completely understand how you feel," she said, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. ''Please call me Rose,'' I said
Rose's POV. I was beyond exhausted by the time we got back to the castle. Abby and I had more fun yesterday than I ever had in all my years combined. She took me around the big three-story building, showing me every nook and cranny. She told me a lot about the underworld, and I told her everything I could about Earth, and most especially the witches. She told me to come over to the castle, I suggested. That way you can meet Sarah. She promised to talk to Nile about it. As soon as we got to the castle, Hades took me straight to our room, and I slept off almost instantly. The next morning when I woke up, the room was empty and I was alone in bed, which was strange since to prevent me from wandering around the palace, Hades was always there. I sighed when I remembered that it was unusually quiet yesterday. I sighed again when I realized how tired I still was. I sat up when there was a knock on the door. ‘’My lady, are you up?’’ Nana's voice called. I yawned. ‘‘’ Yes, come in.
Crowburn. The town is said to have been built right above hell itself. "There is a myth about this town that every 100 years on Halloween night, demons from the very pits of hell come up to the earth and roam the streets, blending into the disguised populous searching for the perfect bride for their Prince. The Prince of Darkness himself. It is believed that the women die as they are never seen again, and every year, the demons return for more women." the woman speaking, my grandma pursed, taking a sip of water before continuing."However, about 3000 years ago, the town elders came together to find a solution to the large number of women that are taken each century. After careful consideration and deliberations, they agreed that a virgin maiden is selected every century from the young ladies of the town. Then they are sacrificed to the demons to save the other women in the town. They are taken to the town square, where the demons are believed to come up from, tied to a post, and lef
HadesThe melody of the tune I played on the piano drowned out the screams of the souls as they suffered for their sins, but their screams didn't bother me because I only heard them when I wished. Suddenly the doors to the hall flung open and hit the walls. "Don't break my doors, Hermes," I said as I stopped playing. I didn't need to look up to know who it was. "It's that time again, is it not?" He said, fury written on his face and voice, and I sensed a hint of... concern? Or was it worry? For me? Yeah right. "Well, it's good to see you too," I said with a sly smile. "I don't understand the reason behind your anger, but I guess it's none of my business." I morphed into a new set of clothes. "None of your business? NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS?!! My fury is all of your business, Hades," Hermes said. "Last time, you didn't stick to the protocol. You broke the rules and took more than was appointed to you," he said. "That's only happened because five Underworlders found their mates. I coul
Roseline POV.I woke up in a large bed. It was so soft and fluffy that I didn't want to get up, but I had to, mainly because I remembered I didn't own a bed this comfortable. So where the hell was I? Was I in a monastery? I opened my eyes and found I was in a large room, and the curtains blocked out any form of light. The room wasn't brightly lit enough but lit enough to see. There were dark shadows in every corner, and the only source of light was the fire burning in the fireplace. The room was richly decorated. I hurried off the bed to the window. I pulled back the curtain, intending to let in light because I assumed it was bright out, but instead, I was met with darkness and void.'Where the hell was I?' I asked. No one in particular, as the memory of what I last remembered flashed through my mind.Twelve hours ago.I woke up in the morning in a good mood, and I just knew today would be a good day. I was up earlier than everyone, a natural sign of a good day. Mom was up next, as us
Rose POV I'd been running for what seemed like hours but I knew it had only been for a few minutes. There were no doors and I hadn’t come across a single soul. I kept running and looking over my shoulder. I was expecting Davis to come up behind me and grab me. I turned a sharp corner but suddenly stopped dead on the tracks. There in front of me lay a monster. It was a giant three-headed dog that had its head on its huge paws and looked to be asleep. ‘Oh shit!’ I thought as it slowly raised its head. It saw me and growled. ‘Nice doggy. Very nice doggy.’ I whispered as I took very slow steps back till I was at the turning point of the hallway and I bolted down another hallway. I heard its roar and the pounding of its paws on the hallway floor as it followed me. I turned back to see it following me and I pushed myself forward, took a sharp right, and hazarded a look behind me to find it running towards me. I screamed and pushed myself to run even faster as he was gaining on me. I ra
