A soul lost in time. A suspended love story filled with yearning and longing. Such is the tale of The lord of the Underworld and his only Beloved. There is a myth about a town every 100 years on Halloween night; demons from the very pits of hell come up to the earth and roam the streets, blending into the disguised populous searching for the perfect bride for their Prince—the Prince of Darkness himself. Although believed to be merely a myth, this tale, though not entirely true, hold some truth. Will the Prince eventually find what he seeks? Will his thirst be quenched and his search over? One can only be that truth within the pages of this unfolding tale.

The Veil Of Time Chapter 12
Rose's POV. I was beyond exhausted by the time we got back to the castle. Abby and I had more fun yesterday than I ever had in all my years combined. She took me around the big three-story building, showing me every nook and cranny. She told me a lot about the underworld, and I told her everything I could about Earth, and most especially the witches. She told me to come over to the castle, I suggested. That way you can meet Sarah. She promised to talk to Nile about it. As soon as we got to the castle, Hades took me straight to our room, and I slept off almost instantly. The next morning when I woke up, the room was empty and I was alone in bed, which was strange since to prevent me from wandering around the palace, Hades was always there. I sighed when I remembered that it was unusually quiet yesterday. I sighed again when I realized how tired I still was. I sat up when there was a knock on the door. ‘’My lady, are you up?’’ Nana's voice called. I yawned. ‘‘’ Yes, come in.

Rose's POV. Abigail, Nile’s mate was a genuinely kind person, a cheerful woman. For the short period of time since I've met her, she has had a smile on her face. She greeted everyone we met along the way as we moved towards this dome-shaped building. "It's nice to have another human here in the Underworld," she started. "Especially one that's my lord's lady," she said with a smile, that I returned. ''As much as I miss my life as a human, I wouldn't exchange this for any other.'' She continued. "Will I be able to say that one day?'' I asked. ''You know you will. Once you give my lord a chance,'' she replied. ''That's what everyone keeps saying. It's like no one is even thinking about me or how I feel. I mean, I fully intend to give him a chance, but..." I whined. I know this may seem childish, but I have experienced a lot in the past few days. "Oh, my lady, I completely understand how you feel," she said, placing a comforting hand on my shoulder. ''Please call me Rose,'' I said

Hades' POV. "Do we really have to go?" Rose whined as I practically dragged her out of the palace. "But of course we do, I promised Nile that we would visit him,” I replied with a slight grin. "Can't I sit this out? I'll be safely tucked away in Cerberus's chambers with Sarah." She said and pulled the puppy dog's eyes, which almost worked. The key word is ‘almost.’ "No, you can't sit it out. You need to know our allies. Besides, you can't keep complaining that you don't know my subjects when you hide away in the palace," I said. She began to protest but quickly stopped. "Good point." She muttered with a pout. I smirked. “That's my girl." I kissed her pouty lips. "Don't worry. It will be over soon. I just have a few things to discuss with Nile.'' I reassured her, and she nodded in agreement. "Okay," she muttered, as outside, the grim carriage was waiting to take us to the Griffin's Isles. “Good day, my lord." Dear Jake, My head grim, greeted. "Yeah, how do you do, Jake?" I re

Hades POV I was totally against her walking or going anywhere near Purgatory, just for her transformation, but to know that Rose accepted me made me so happy. “The transformation can only occur during a lunar eclipse” Lachesis answered, as we asked her the next day when we met in the library. ''That's a week from now,'' Rose said. She sure knows her lunar cycles. ''The next one will be in five months," she said. ''There is something you both must know.'' Lachesis said. ''What's that?'' I asked, she said. ''When my lady emerges, she will be desperate to complete the mating process. You must prepare for the ceremony before the transformation.'' Lachesis said, and I looked down at Rose as she looked at me with wide eyes. ''Leave us,'' I instructed, When I saw the fear in her eyes, she simply bowed and disappeared. ''To complete the mating process means sex, right?'' She inquired, and I nodded. She backed away from me, ''oh my. Wait, I've never done this before, Hades. I don't th

Rose POV I was still over the moon about the fact that I had just had tea with the messenger of the god Hermes. ''You do know it's dangerous for you to wander around the castle, right?'' Hades said. ''I was just sightseeing.'' I defended with a pout. '' you were ALONE!!!?''He protested. ''I was offered to be teleported by Cerberus, but I wanted to find my way around alone, is that wrong?'' I defended. He tightens his hold on me. ''Of course, it's not. It's just that I don't want you to get hurt. I still don't know who the rebels are among my subordinates and subjects, and I have to keep you safe. I MUST. I cannot afford to lose you.'' He said. ''And you won't. Okay? Everything will be just fine. We will be just fine. ''I said reassuringly. I turned and straddled his lap so I could see his face. I wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head against his chest. He placed his palm against my back and gently rubbed it up and down to provide comfort. I don't know why the world

Rose POV I had been wandering around for what seemed like hours now, and I knew I was royally lost, wishing I had taken Cerberus up on his offer. I found multiple rooms and about two or more dining halls so far and what I believe to be a game room. I don't know, and frankly, I don't care. I just wanted to find Hades and have him wrap me in his warm embrace. I needed to find him. I just had to. Has the days passed and we grew closer it was getting harder and harder to stay away from him for too long and it has become unbearable of late. I took another left turn and almost cried when I saw the huge black door at the end of the hallway. I approached it and pried it open enough for me to slip in exerting more energy than I had originally thought I would need. The interior resembled a throne room of some sort. I walked in and immediately the guards on the right side stopped me halting my movement with his huge spear. ''How are you here, mortal?'' He said. ''Return to the judgment room

Rose's POV. In my room, I lay alone in bed, reflecting on the events of the past few days. Hades remains the ruler of the Underworld, a kingdom that can't rule itself. The ruler is still needed. I have recently gotten to know him a bit. He may have appeared arrogant, weird, and like a bastard on the outside, but on the inside, he was actually an insecure, cute, and adorable person which caught me by surprise since it seemed to clash with his position as Lord. The highlight of my day was waking up in my room with him holding me. He hasn't compelled me to remain with him in his room and I was grateful for that. Though I would never admit it to him, I secretly desired and immensely enjoyed his embrace while I slept. Whenever I felt insecure or self-conscious, he would comfort me and reassure me that everything would be okay. Although I was new to a life of luxury, I was adjusting well. I had a personal ladymaid by the name of Nana. She is a bat harpy. I have learned quite a lot about t

Hades POV. Truth be told, I was confused, and, judging by Rose’s expression, she was too. ‘’Care to explain what this prophecy is to me in a way I would understand,’’ I said and she flipped the page. ‘’The prophecy states; Hades and Olympus, after centuries of waging wars for dominance and power, a steady but shaky balance was formed, but the Queen of Hades shall arise and she will be the bridge between gods, humans and underworlders.’’ She paused to let all she had said sink in. ‘’The Queen's power shall neither be light nor dark, her legend shall spread throughout the cosmos. She shall birth the sons of Hades.’’ she continued. ‘’The seven sons of Hades?’’ Rose suddenly cut her off and Lachesis nodded. ‘’That's correct. Only the Queen of Hades can birth the sons, the princes of Hades.’’ Lachesis concluded, ‘’But Zeus already blessed Hades with its princes,’’ I said, looking confused, ‘’And what part of only the Queen of Hades can birth the princes of Hades don't you get? Zeus

Rose POV Hades brought us to the top of a mountain. ‘’Oh fuck’’ I cursed as I looked down at the expanse of land before me. ‘’You have such a dirty mouth. I like it’’ He said with a grin and I blushed to the root of my hair and he chuckled. I looked around at everything. It looked almost quite normal and not what you’d expect the underworld to look like. There was a valley below the mountain with lush grass that was different shades of purple instead of the green of the earth with blue, pink, red, and black wildflowers spread across the entire valley. The river water was bright orange, almost like lava, instead of blue, which I think is a result of the sky reflecting in the water. In the sky, there was no sun or moon but it was bright orange with yellow and gray clouds. It was truly beautiful. Hades pointed at something in the sky and that was when I noticed the…… Birds? If we could even call them that, flying in the sky. They looked a whole lot bigger than normal birds with an

Prologue
Crowburn. The town is said to have been built right above hell itself. "There is a myth about this town that every 100 years on Halloween night, demons from the very pits of hell come up to the earth and roam the streets, blending into the disguised populous searching for the perfect bride for their Prince. The Prince of Darkness himself. It is believed that the women die as they are never seen again, and every year, the demons return for more women." the woman speaking, my grandma pursed, taking a sip of water before continuing."However, about 3000 years ago, the town elders came together to find a solution to the large number of women that are taken each century. After careful consideration and deliberations, they agreed that a virgin maiden is selected every century from the young ladies of the town. Then they are sacrificed to the demons to save the other women in the town. They are taken to the town square, where the demons are believed to come up from, tied to a post, and lef
