I was dissatisfied with having to stay away from Bridget once again, I understood her need to protect her friend, but I still wanted her to stay where I could keep an eye on her. I snorted around the office again, my restlessness had increased since I felt a sadness coming from her, it killed me not knowing what had happened to her feel that way, I had called more than once, but had no answer, no one was answering the fucking phone and that was just to make me more anxious. This time I could only contain my impulses and trust that she would be safe, Bri was powerful and could take care of herself. I just had to trust it and keep my negative thoughts locked away. "Quanah!" Denah’s voice took me out of my thoughts. "You have to do something about, or I will!" "What did he do now?" I said feeling the irritation overflow inside me. Peta was not being easy to deal with, since he had returned he was unbearable, impulsive, making decisions without asking or at least caring about others
The place where Hades was hidden wasn’t exactly on earth, it was between our world and the underworld, according to Will and Kalina there was only one way to access this part of the universe, traveling by magic. "Just make sure we’re not going to hell." Brooke insisted once again, she was terrified that we might end up in hell, after all we all believed it was where Hades lived. "No Brooke, we are not going to hell. Only souls, demons and gods are allowed in that place and we are nothing like that." "Nikolai knew what he was doing, it is safe there, Hades believes to be protected and hidden, there are not many people who know this place and after the spell you cast on him something strange was happening." Spell? I swore nothing had happened to him after Alice started going against us. "Alice’s spell worked, didn’t it? The hate she was feeling for him killing Peta made her words more powerful than ours?" "Yes, Alice wished he would be trapped in agony and nightmares, and that’s h
When Denah made me come back home, horrified that I was bleeding through my eyes and nose, but I knew what was going on, it was Bridget and she was dying! "I need to go after her! How can this fucking connection not be working? Because I can sense what’s happening to her, but I can’t locate her!" The healers were there, as were the ancestors, who tried at all costs to medicate me or to calm me down, but I couldn’t do it, couldn’t calm down, not when I felt Bridget increasingly weak and bleeding even more."Because she is not in this plan!" Irma, a former healer said. For a second the air lacked me and the floor seemed to no longer exist. My world would end if someday Bri was no longer here. I loved that woman with all my strength, with every atom in my body and until the day of my last breath that would not change. "No, that’s not true! I can still feel what’s happening to her, Bridget is weak, but she’s not gone!" "Quanah, she didn’t mean it that way. She’s not dead, she’s on a
I ran to her, tearing her inert body from the arms of the unknown man and my heart broke when I saw her state. So helpless, fragile, it hurt me not to see her beautiful eyes, her smile, or even her cheeks getting flushed by something silly. "She lost a lot of blood, she needs to go to the hospital!" Kalina spoke above all the buzz around us. "No, she needs to lie down and let me do the rest!" Hera ordered and knowing who she was I did not do otherwise. "Let’s get this baby born!" "You can’t! It’s not time!" I protested at the idea of bringing our son to life, him wasn’t nine months yet. "It will be. Now take her inside." she was categorical, leaving no room for discussion and this time I could only trust. I took Bridget inside, hoping it wasn’t a complete mistake to bring a crazy goddess there. One that obviously knew what was going on with Bridget and her biological father, but claims they couldn’t interfere. "Bri felt something before she blacked out, she spoke of the baby."
I couldn’t believe I was finally holding my son in my arms, Karl was beautiful, he had a lot of his father’s especially golden eyes, but the hair was mine at least. I couldn’t say how happy I was, I knew I should be surprised and go after Hera asking everything she had done, how time had passed only for my son and why, which led her to accept to help me.But they were questions for another time, because I was tired of the confrontation with Hades, tired of all the problems and emotions I lived on the last day and especially tired of gods, for now I just wanted to stay with my family without thinking about problems. "When do you think you’ll get tired and give it to me?" Quanah questioned, complaining about what seemed like the fifth time.He hadn’t left my side since childbirth, everyone congratulated us and left, one by one until he left us alone. And Quanah stood there beside me, drooling on our enchanted boy with the small, fragile being in my arms. "Probably in about fifteen ye
And that’s what we did, Kalina created a circle calling him to be in our presence.I tried to insist that Quanah stay outside to protect Karl, but he refused and stood by me. He was still afraid of what had happened in the last days and I couldn’t even blame him for it. "Well, well, you again." the man appeared before us, the same as always, the black overcoat and the combat boots in the same color, but this time he looked younger, the hair had been cut. "What do you want now?" "Let it be known that we are the new ladies of the underworld. Hades is dead." he looked at each of us, as if he didn’t believe. "We need to talk about Nikolai." "I was afraid it would happen one day, just didn’t think it would be four ladies." he snorted, coming out of character right and showing his real side. "You don’t think just because you’ve become underworld commanders you can bring whoever wants to live, do you?" Well I wouldn’t deny that I thought of it, but it would be too easy and nothing with a
I looked in the mirror for the thousandth time, not liking what I was seeing there. I wasn’t used to that kind of outfit, so I understood all my clumsiness, even if I felt sexy."You look beautiful now from the license and let me finish getting ready, or we’ll just get there tomorrow."Alice banged her hip into mine, pushing me away from the mirror.Unlike me she wore a red dress, which did not reach the half of her thighs, matching high heels and blonde hair, almost platinum, descended in layers wavy her back.I was wearing dark denim shorts, so short that they showed the pulp of my ass, and a black tank top, which left my strappy bra. Which was the only thing I was wearing that belonged to me, everything else had ripped from Alice’s wardrobe."Are you sure I need to wear these heels? I’m sure I’ll twist my foot before I even enter the club." I grumbled staring at the black sandals she had separated for me. "Speaking of which, you didn’t tell me the name of the place."You ask too ma
The golden eyes attracted me like magnets and didn’t seem to have anyone around us. I could only concentrate on him. The big brown hair, the full and arched eyebrows, the wild and shaggy beard that contoured the thin lips, which I was dying to kiss.That’s because I was focused on his face, I was still in his arms, but I could get an idea of what was under his clothes, because I could feel all the hardness of his muscles."I don’t intend to go anywhere." I replied feeling confident to be bold, after all I had attracted the attention of the man luring down there."What is your name?" he asked, with his eyes still focused on mine, as if we were not in a ballad, surrounded by people staring at us as he held me in his lap."Are you sure you want to have this conversation like this? With me in your arms?"The thick eyebrow rose with fun and his lips rose sideways, a smile so nasty that just made him even sexier."You weigh nothing." as if he wanted to prove his point, he let go of the arm

I was clinging to him and crying, in a way even the pain in my arm had been in the background. I didn’t care if he did what he did at Nikolai’s behest, he had stood by my side and that’s what matters. "I missed you so much, redhead." he muttered against my hair, hugging me tight like he always did when I was scared. "I wanted to see you so many times, I had so many questions." I raised my eyes to look better at him and held his face. "But now I’m just glad that you’re here." I was happy, even with all the shit going on around us, the only man I knew as a father, the last two people I have as family were there with me. "You’ll have time for that later, now Bridget needs to pay her debt with death. Before she takes it." "Nikolai is right, we did not come here just for reunions." Will stood up and lifted me up. "Nik has a gift for you." I frowned at Will, didn’t want to argue with him, especially now that we were together after so long. "The only gift Nikolai could give me was thi
We left the house quickly, Brooke, Kalina and Jenna were with me, after all the aversion that Peta was demonstrating to Alice, I would not trust leaving any of them behind. "I didn’t understand why he was acting like this, they seemed so united when they came to get me, the two fought Hades and she suffered so much when he was being tortured, almost looking like it was her." Jenna confided, but the truth is none of us understood how that was happening. "And he did it to hurt her, just as he killed Peta just to distract us, he uses people without any shame." I didn’t know where we could go, we didn’t have any resources, Quanah gave me the key to the truck and some money, but we needed to locate Alice in a hurry. "Maybe bringing him back was a mistake." Brooke muttered. I was starting to think that too, but I was trying to stay focused and remember who he was, who he was since I got here. "Alice needs us now. Let’s focus on that." Kalina was doing a locator spell right about now,
"No, there’s no way that Alice did anything like that!" I screamed for the thousandth time in front of the council. "She might be angry at her mother and scared of everything, but she wouldn’t do that." The elders, Peta, Quanah and Kalina were in the meeting room, discussing what we needed to do, what decision to make now. Alice was missing, but they wanted to hunt her down to find out what really happened, but I knew it wasn’t true, they would hunt her down to kill. They wanted to make her pay for the lives of the two guards, after all they did not care about Agnes. "You have to face the facts, Bridget! Alice was the only one in that room with her mother and the two guards, they’re dead and she’s missing. Do the math!" I was mad at Peta, I never thought I’d feel that way about him, but that’s how I was feeling. Maybe it was a mistake to bring him back after all, he had not thanked, fought with Alice and now raised the flag that she should be hunted. "Go to hell Peta!" I shouted b
