Chapter 8

• Underworld
• Hades' Releam
• Persephone's POV
• Hades had invited me for dinner. The black rose attached with the message made my heart hurt...I cannot give it in....cannot fall for his charms.
• Standing in a simple silver gown in front of the mirror I shivered when I saw his presence behind me.
• His fragrance made me inhale deeply. It was a combination of lemon and mint. so raw...so rugged....so masculine. Unadulterated appeal of power and sex oozing out..it was regal...it was him.
• "Exquisite..you are surreal goddess." Hades whispered taking in my form, tracing it from head to toe, he met my eyes as my lips parted when I looked at that heated stare."
• His warm chest pressed into my back. "That fearlessness little rose, that determination I see in your eyes....that's dangerous and .....inviting."
• Turning me around he extended his hand for me to take. I placed my small palm in his larger once....mine soft his rough but smooth.
• He eyes scanned me intensely. I watched my hands and he watched me like a hawk.
• Gently pulling me out of the room, his hand snaked around my waist, I was going to complain but my jaw dropped as my eyes took in the beauty of the architecture.
• Creamy while pillars with dark green and gold patterns matching with white walls.
• Wild white lilies with black rose covering the handrails of the glass stairs. His hands tightened around my body in a protective embrace as I stumbled but I couldn't care less....this was like a dream come true.
• I always loved white lilies...my favourite flower but last night when he gave me the rose...I was too afraid to say that I started living them more.
• --------------
• Food was delicious and so were his eyes staring right into mine. But mine went sad when I realized out truth- we both were forbidden....so very forbidden.
• Now when the realisation hite hard as bricks my heart went into turmoil.
• "Hades last night I saw a dream and you were there."
• His orbs stared right into my soul.
• "I am honored that you dream about me Persephone." His tone was low...deep and somewhat knowing.
• "It's not that."I whispered.
• "Please Explain goddess."
• "I saw you at the Black Moon Pack. I don't know but I saw it was completely destroyed as if it had endured a huge catastrophe and people died and...."
• "And what little rose?"
• "I saw Cerberus. I don't even know what I saw. Maybe I am too exhausted and also I have never seen Cerberus perhaps its-"
• "You saw my memory." I froze at that..No ,no this cannot be happening..
• I saw him sitting there his jaw clenched and eyes smoldering fire.
• They spoke lengths....that dream did too...he was ready to go to any lenghts for me....it was not good.
• "Why did you killed them?"
• "They asked for it....that Alpha will die too" Was his blunt reply.
• "It was my oath."
• " What's mine is yours and Persephone...what's yours is mine." His voice has gone octaves deeper.
• "Hades, you didn't have any right." I replied harshly.
• "I fucking had! Persephone, they tried to ruin you-" he was beyond outraged but his anger still in control for me.
• Hades I don't deserve you.
• "And you didn't came to save me then. You knew all about this, you knew my existence, you knew I was your mate. You knew I was hurting but you didn't came." He froze.
• "And I will be regretful for eternity. I am not asking for forgiveness goddess ..I-I don't deserve it...but you deserve the world Persephone. " His voice was filled with utter grief as a sob escaped my lips ,tears spilled down my cheek.
• "Don't cry baby." He rushed in front of me but as his hands came to wipe my tears I pulled myself back.
• Devastation...his expression was devastating...so agonizing and painful.
• My mind swirled with self loathing, I hated my existence if it made him sad. But if I let him close....open my secret he will be in danger..his life in danger...Gods can't be killed but put to the sleep forever...I won't let that happen.
• Hades deserves the world. Not him nothing will ever hurt him.
• I will die thousand times if the cost is him.
