Apollo X Hermes Novels & Stories

she asked. "Well, I just wanted to let you know that I was aware that Damien was in the room but I just pretended not to know. You seemed to have forgotten that he's from the Silvermoon pack and I would smell one even from a mile away," Layla said with a chuckle before walking away and Kira's face immediately fell.

‘Oh,’ Thanatos uttered, sounding amazed, ‘oh, wow…’ Sensing something has gone wrong, Demeter hurriedly stood up and hovered worriedly next to her, “Darling, what is it?” Proserpina continues to stare at the text message on her phone, “This moron,” she exhaled, a growing scowl on her face, “…is going to unleash hell.” “Who is it this time?” “Apollo,” Proserpina all but snarled that accursed name, “…just reported to me that Hermes was on his way to have an audience with Hades.” Demeter looked aghast, “But... but why?!” “In that idiot’s own words,” Proserpina was sorely tempted to crush her phone but decides against it at the next second when she remembered William had bought this one for her

Hermes felt a powerful hand grab at his neck, lifting him so that his feet were inches from the ground. Elektris narrowed her eyes then, with an abrupt jolt, swung her arm around and threw Hermes across the street as if she was tossing a ball. Hermes hit a tall building with a jumbo tron on it. The large screen had been displaying a report that the earth was under an alien attack and—

Ares, his muscular frame draped in armor that gleamed like polished bronze, rested his chin on his fist, his dark eyes unreadable. Apollo, his golden hair catching the light like a halo, sat with his fingers steepled, his expression thoughtful but guarded. The silence was broken by Hera, her voice sharp as a blade. "His curse grows stronger day by day, Luna," she said, using the name they reserved for Selene in moments of formality. Her golden crown glinted as she leaned forward, her gaze unwavering. "I thought you said he had found his mate. Why does the fire of destruction still burn within him?"

Braving the crushing weight of the god's aura, the servant shakily opened the box. Lying inside was the laurel crown—the very symbol of Apollo's consort, meant for his bride's head. Then, following Lyra’s final instruction, the servant activated a memory stone. Instantly, a vast, shimmering image materialized in the air above them. It showed Apollo and Cassandra, tangled in a passionate embrace. Their every explicit whisper, their every dismissive remark and calculated plan against Lyra, was laid bare for all of Olympus to see. "By the gods, the God of Light betrayed his own betrothed..."

“Longer, miss. I’ve worked here as his housekeeper for the last five years. I’ll get you water!” “Oh, what’s your name?” I asked, liking her chatty nature. I could make friends with her and get to know a lot about my captor! “Stella Hawkes! I know you’re Hermione Averoff!” I gasped at the way she pronounced my full name. I hated it. “Please call me Hera. I hate my full name!” “Why? It’s so exotic, a symbol of intelligence in our era! Hermione was the daughter of the Greek messenger God, Hermes. I’m sure you know that already!”

It was scrunched in thought. "Xander can you look up Apollo and serpents, please?" He looked a little unsure, but set himself to the task. Moments later he spoke, "Damn, sweets, you're good. Apollo, Olympian in Greek and Roman religions, god of the sun and light. Also, god of dance, music, poetry, healing, and diseases. Probably more. Turns out Apollo was getting busy with his fellow goddesses. Apollo became the happy daddy to a bouncing baby Asclepius." He hit a couple of buttons with a flourish.

Alpha Leo's POV. I don't even know when I start laughing, but I can't control it, fate must be playing a very sick joke on me, because how much can a guy take before he just gives up and runs mad? No really I want to know. Because first I was cursed with a hateful father and then fate saw it fit to take my mother away from me, then I was blessed with a mate, that's Scarlett but then she leaves me to marry another man. Then I find another mate in Selene and then Scarlett comes back and I do not know it at the time but I make the wrong decision of choosing Scarlett and rejecting Selene. My marriage to Scarlett is horrible and then my pack is cursed with an incurable disease.

Unforgiving. I drove her to this end. And now she is lost to me forever. The pain of it is almost too much to bear. With a tormented howl, I unleash my anguish to the moon. Begging the Goddess to turn back time, to let me right the wrongs I have committed. But there is no going back now. Aria has made her choice, as have I. My sins have forever severed what once bound us, heart and soul. Brayden returns to the study, eyeing the mess around us. "Alpha, what was going on with Tamara back there? Weren't you just saying you wanted her as your Luna?"

By my ear, his deep voice whispered, “They’ve accepted you, my love.” I had no chance to respond before a man approached us—the Beta. Yes, the same one who had looked at me strangely before. Strange. He still looked at me that way, as if something about me was off, as if he had a thousand questions he wanted to demand. “Congratulations, Alpha,” he said to Dario, before turning to me. “May the Moon Goddess bless you, Luna, and guide our pack.” Dario smiled. “Yes.” He then gestured toward me. “My love, this is Johnny Barker, my Beta.”
