Hades Ember Novels & Stories

“And now it’s yours.” She swallows hard. Noah stands close enough to catch her if she sways. Emily shifts into her cat form and hops onto a beam overhead. I take a deep breath. “Today,” I say, “we start with the beginning. The Warren bloodline. The Hallow. And why you were hidden.”

Nevertheless, others heard what she said. Soon, everyone started whispering. The TV presenter who was interviewing Elle turned to her co-worker "Did I hear right? She said Ethan Cephas is a ghost. Does she mean ghost in a dark world or another way of calling him invincible?" "Of course, I heard what she said. Everyone did, but then, it might be her way of calling him invincible since this is the first time he's making his presence known" Her co-worker whispered back.

Rowan's POV One week later* It's been a week, a wonderful week since Ember healed up from being poisoned by wolfsbane. She was poisoned by that demon called Zara, who pretends to be a cool and kind lady in front of Thane. She's just using him. Well, that's not the point. The point is that the second Ember walks through those doors, I won't hesitate to embrace her, kiss her, and tell her how much I have always loved her, despite being rude and harsh to her.

"I feel...something." Kieran's storm-wild eyes pinned me. "That's not her. That's the ember killing you." Tears burned my cheeks. "And if it isn't? If she's alive?" His jaw worked. "Then I'll go myself. But I won't lose you for a promise." For a moment, the forest stilled. Then my father rose again, faint gold glowing in his scars. "The ember is the key. The last chain must break." "It will kill her!" Kieran's voice cracked.

My father practically growled, menacingly, while the shadows began to ripple around him, itching to be used. "We all do." Percy added. "I'll get him when I see him next. I'll give him the years of torture he gave us. I'll find a way to weaken his demon and make him feel every second of my torture." I said darkly, my eyes fixed on the darkness in my shadow. "He's part demon?" Ember asked, surprised. "Apparently, he said he's half demon." "I have something that can help with weakening a demon." Ember held her hand out in a fist before her. She slowly opened her it, revealing a little marble-like ice ball. In the center was a swirling bright light. I'd never seen anything so beautiful before.

As she stared out of the window, she wondered if Signoral had never been her true friend. “Why did she come to me?” Calista wondered aloud. Emily had claimed she was always in the same lecture hall, but Calista had never seen her until that night at the campfire, when Emily had been the life of the party. “What are you thinking?” Ranya asked, noticing her furrowed brow. “Signoral...” Calista began, using Emily’s given name for the first time since learning she was a Hamilton—a billionaire heiress who had chosen to run a lounge instead.

Rhett coughed out. Aislen shook her head and jumped to grasp the top of the wall and pull herself up. The bricks were warm under her skin, almost enough to burn. Within the courtyard, there was a scorch mark radiating out from a central point, where Ember stood utterly naked, wings spread. The wings were not wings as Samuel’s were, like those of a bat covered in black membrane, rather Ember’s wings were those of fire, the flickering flame generating enough heat to lift the ends of her long red hair.

KING EREMUS PLAN: "Princess Elena of Eras Kingdom?" Demon asked and Hades nodded his head. "I haven't heard of such a kingdom before." He added after a thought. "So as the rest of the Kingdoms you killed their princesses, you didn't know of their existence before." Hades said. "I have got to go now, go to Eras Kingdom and kill the princess and get me her soul." With that the shadows that created the dark portal quickly disperse and went back to the dark wall.

I recognized the location immediately. Hades stood at the foot of the stairs that led to his office’s mezzanine. Beside him floated the pane of glass that had trapped Ophois. He was still in his human form, and his handsome features twisted with rage. My jaw clenched, and I swallowed back an insult. It wasn’t like the bastard could hear me. “Fenrisúlfr,” Hades drawled. “I never thought you would recruit the Egyptians to carry out your futile quest. My demons have destroyed Demeter’s root tunnels, and the Opener of the Ways cannot escape my trap. You have run out of options.”

Then, he glanced at Yaroslav, who was sitting in front of him and said, “Mr. Gabriel, we’re not acquainted. So, what’s the purpose of your visit today?” Yaroslav was seated while Madelyn quietly stood aside. He asked with a smile, “Fire God, you must still be unaware of what the Cadens are up to, right?” Hades was nicknamed the Fire God because of the True Energy he cultivated. He asked casually, “What are the Cadens up to?” Yaroslav said, “James has assumed the title of Emperor.” “I know. It isn’t a big deal. The Emperor is dead, and it’s only natural for the King to push him into the position. However, I didn’t expect it to happen so late,” Hades replied indifferently, as he did not take J
