From Apollo’s Betrayed Bride To Hades’ Queen Novels & Stories

His panic, his tenderness—it was all for her. And me? I was just the Luna standing in the rain, watching my mate fall apart for another woman. My father’s voice rang in my ears, haunting: “Barbara, this was your mother’s last wish. I arranged for you to study abroad. Albert, the Alpha of the Blood Fang Pack, will be there. If you complete the mating ritual, it will be a great advantage for Ashborn.” I had refused. Because of Robert. Because of love. Because I couldn’t let go of the last thing my mother gave me.

Apollo sounded almost offended that I had to ask. "Why do you think my name is Apollo? Why do you think my brother's name is Aries? We are the products of Zeus. Why do you think your mates are Celestial Wolves? Their wolves share the same names as their human selves for a reason. Hell, even Elena is a celestial wolf mated to our brother." I blinked. "And Caden is mated to a queen?" "Correct." Apollo paused. "And if Ryder ever speaks up about her heritage, Carmella can confirm that she's special, too."

"I think I have said enough to you, don't cross my path and any of the Queen's paths, especially Zinnia; Zinnia is a leopard that wouldn't mind using her claws on you… Have a nice rest." She left, leaving me to drown in my thoughts. How could I possibly go through all these? I could bet that the Queen's were not happily married to the King, and they didn't love one another, which made the situation worse. How can a human born out of a woman's womb be so heartless? How can he be married to five wives and still go ahead to sleep with his servants? That is so cruel of him, and still, he would warn them not to get pregnant.

He sounded confident as he said, “My name is Apollo and I am the Alpha of the Bloodlust pack. And, Your Highness, it appears that your beloved daughter is my mate.” My mother speaks up, “It is a pleasure to meet you, Alpha Apollo. Welcome to our home.” I can hear his smile as he says, “Thank you, Your Grace.” I hear Charlotte speak and her voice is soft, “My name is Charlotte and I am David and Silas’ mate.” If I had been drinking something, then I would’ve literally spit it out. Silas and David are sharing the same mate? My mom says, “It is a pleasure to welcome you both, Apollo and Charlotte. Charlotte, we look forward to getting to know our new Beta female. And Apollo, how long should we

a whimper escaping her as his hot tongue soothed the ache where he had left a love bite. "I am a sinner and you are my sin Persephone." "Hades?" "Yes baby?" "I Persephone Rya accept King Hades, the supreme ruler of Underworld as my eternal mate. I am yours my king...from now to infinity." The cosmos is a mystic place. An unfathomable swirling of unknown power. What we don't understand is magic and sometimes it's evil counterpart- sorcery. The bond with Adrian was truly evil, threatening to take her soul away and taint it in blood and anguish.

"Don't do this" Apollo ignored him and moved his face closer to Xerxes. "Before you die, let me tell you this. I lied. Jade isn't mated to a human. His mate is a half blood, a forbidden creature. And after I have killed her, I will kill him. Only then will my reign as Supreme Alpha begin" He straightened and walked away from the throne room. He didn't even look back when Xerxes called to him weakly. His plans were already in motion. The only person left standing in his way was Jade, and Apollo would destroy him easily.

Alpha Ryder removed his hand from his bleeding shoulder and caught Henry as he stumbled, gazing at the beta. The beta frowned and turned back to his alpha. Alpha James narrowed his eyes at Alpha Apollo. "Now hand over my wife," he ordered. Alpha Apollo smirked and removed the dagger from her neck, pushing her away from him with great force. She fell into the water and swam out, spitting out water as she made her way toward her husband.

He said, confusing me. "Betray?" I asked in a low tone. "Yes. The late demon king was betrayed by the humans." He answered. "I don't understand," I said honestly. "A thousand years ago, the late demon king made a deal with the elders and priests in your territory which both of them liked. He was to grant them help in exchange for a blessed maiden." He said, then moved backward and leaned his shoulder against the bar door.

"I've waited for years to have my revenge. I couldn't kill his mate because the girl is sweet and innocent. This is the only way I can have my revenge" Hades chuckled darkly. The time every creature had been dreading was here. He was finally going to be free. "Hand me the blood of the Tribrid",he demanded and stretched out his hand. "And I will honour our deal and bring back your husband" The glass vial holding Layla's blood appeared in Henrietta's hand. She walked slowly towards Hades, hand outstretched as she handed the vial to him.

I ran out of the room, slammed the door shut, and made my way through the hall. My heart spiked up, my legs turned heavy, begging me to stop, my skin burned, and I trembled. I swayed to and fro and almost crumbled onto my knees. Everything in me was begging me to go back to him. As if. Damn my omega genes. Damn his alpha genes. Damn him for being handsome and irresistible too. ‘The sky would turn purple and fall to the earth before I, Arielle Winston, became the Alpha’s contract bride.’
