Hades' POVIt was time for me to return to my pack again. I had spent two days in the forest already. The moon goddess had called me to the hunt trip to face her for some redemption for the sins I've committed, the blood on my hands and some other atrocities.She said many things about Brielle but there was a part she didn't mention yet, claiming Brielle would reveal it to me anytime later, but I shouldn't be the one to ask.The pack cheered with applause and the Beta rushed to greet me as soon as I arrived.He helped me with the luggage with me, as I almost ran into the security men. I wanted to walk so quickly so no one would stop me for any reason. For today, I was treated like a celebrity, a nice one."The wolves want to throw up a party to welcome you back to the pack. Shall..." He asked, but I interrupted, "let them throw the party."He happily left me after dropping the luggage in my room. I could see how Brielle rolled her eyes at him, but I guessed she wasn't just in the mood
Brielle's POVIt was the dead of the night and Hades was asleep already. The pack was peaceful as expected. I slowly sat up in bed, yawning to remain conscious.I sat on the chair and pulled out the book I was earlier studying. I flipped the pages open until I felt some hands wrapping around me. I shifted my gaze and turned back. It was Hades."You scared me," I said, pouting my lips.His eyes were still red from lack of sleep as he said, "come to bed. Let's sleep. We'll wake up tomorrow and continue our work.""I'll join you soon." I said, "don't worry about me. Just reading a few pages, promise.""No." He retorted and pulled me towards himself. He collected the book from me and flung it back to the box.I had to sleep in bed till dawn as he rested his head below my chest while my legs were wrapped around his.It was morning and I suddenly noticed I was the only one in bed. The restroom door suddenly opened and he showed up."Brielle. You're up!" He screamed excitedly, scooting his f
Hades' POVWe had returned to our room even before the party was rounded off. I appointed several maids to cater for her while they helped her move her luggage towards her private district for the pack which was now termed as the Luna district.She was over the moon for the development, moving into her district that was more than a chamber. She pulled me into a tight hug and each night, I would go visit her to see how she's faring, and how her new district was treating her.One sunny afternoon, our paths crossed in the field but one of her maids requested for her attention."Attend to your maid first," I told her and a smile appeared across her chin.Before I could turn back, Dylan walked up to me and pulled me into a tight hug. I hugged him compassionately, grateful to have crossed his path in my journey of saving Brielle, and claiming her - fighting for my love, my mate."How has been the rule - the wolves under you?" I asked as he forced a smile across his chin before he retorted,
Brielle's POV"Move your damn ass forward, Brielle!" Giselle, my sister said behind me, pushing me roughly.As I turned back to mutter an apology, I was slammed with the look of disgust boldly written on her face. Everything else I wanted to say disappeared from my mind.Why did she hate me so much? I wondered, then brushed it off.I couldn't let the pawn of the devil ruin today for me. The hatred she had for me wasn't a story anymore. They all hated me, including dad and mom. At least, I will be free from them today after the auction.I smiled as I climbed the podium, feeling a tiny bit of hope in my heart. If a nice young alpha prince could just bid for me, then I had hit the jackpot. I would finally say goodbye to all the mistreatments I received from my so-called family.As I stood at the podium, I could hear my pulse hammering loudly in my throat. The unasked question lurked around the corners of my mind. What if no one bids for me?My gaze flickered from my dress to Gizelle's
Brielle's POV My whole body began to burn from within but not a single sweat dropped from my body. No way! I was standing right in front of my mate. Was that the reason he bid that amount for me? Was he aware? I felt like my heart was squeezing very hard in my chest and I could barely breathe. "Do you understand?" His cold deep voice brought me back to reality. Understand what? He must have said something, but I didn’t even hear. His blue eyes was shining behind his mask with a terrifying intensity. He looked like he wanted to hurt me. I cleared my throat awkwardly. "I understand." "Understand what?" I smiled a little, trying to ease the tension. "I'm sorry, but I was-- er, carried away." “You're smiling?” He said stiffly and my eyes widened at the impact of his voice Suddenly, he grabbed my chin roughly. "You must think I'm a joke since I bid on a worthless omega like you!" I gasped, my face filled with despair. How could he call me that? His grip became tighter on
Brielle's POVWe got to the pack and instead of taking me to alpha Hades, I was taken to a room filled with five young maidens.I thought they were also bought by him but I was wrong. These maidens were responsible for cleaning me up.Hours later, the maids had already bathed me and dressed me up nicely in a short red see through gown and a robe to hide my body from other eyes. They had briefed me about things I needed to do to pleasure him and all, which had already wiped off my memory.The alpha was seated on a sofa and he seemed to be reading a book. He still had that mask on. Does he ever take them off? I couldn’t help but wonder.I knew I wasn't that attractive and all, but this was never my idea of a mate. I had always wished to have a kind and loving mate. But here I was, tangled up with a murderer whose face is hidden in a mask probably because he looks like a beast. I cleared my throat to gain his attention but he didn’t even look up. I walked up to him and then out of pure
Brielle's POVHis face beamed with pleasure as I muttered his name. I never imagined I would be confident enough to say his name."Hades..."His eyes gleamed intensely, screaming his impatience to strip me off my rob and get the job done. I sighed shakily, expecting the worst to happen. I wasn't going to die in his hands. There surely must be a way out if I realized I wasn't satisfying him in bed.It's either I took to my heels or my bones got ripped out. Each step we took towards his glorious bed, each time my heart leaped to my feet. I wasn't scared to engage in the act for the first time; I was scared I wouldn't satisfy him.Suddenly, he dumped me onto the bed aggressively as my red dress tore apart from his stoic touch. I diverted my gaze from his eyes since I couldn't interpret what his stares meant."I'll do it myself!" he repeated and immediately began taking off his clothes. I stole a glance at his wardrobe and was a bit shocked to see just a few clothes there."Face here, litt
Brielle's POV"Why are you waiting?" He asked, transfixed to a spot, "use the door. Didn't you want to?"His eyes were radiating furiously and I wasn't sure what his plan was, for me. Once I sighted his wolf morphing, I would hurry out of the room but his voice was calm, yet threatening."You wouldn't leave unscathed when I get to you," he said and began to approach me. I quickly turned the doorknob but the door didn't budge. Was I so daft to be unable to open a door like this?As he got closer, my heart beat faster and I became more aggressive at the door."Don't spoil what you didn't create!" He screamed at me, suddenly grabbing me by the jaw and pinning me to the wall. If there was a literal explanation of eyeball to eyeball, then it was now. I could look straight down his eyes as well as him. He chuckled softly when he noticed my persistent stares."I kept on but you stopped me. Even without my permission?" He asked, his tone laced with a mixture of calm and threat."I-I'm sorry,"
