I could hardly understand what they were saying because they were all talking at once, and excitedly too. So imagine me standing there trying to comprehend about a hundred children talking at the same time."Come on, let's go sit like we did yesterday" I said.It wasn't until I walked away that they quieted down and followed me. I could see some new faces and creatures I hadn't seen the day before, and I was genuinely excited to see them all.Parents stayed behind and even sat on some of the chairs as they watched us. More guards came in and surrounded everywhere, probably due to orders from Hades. I beckoned for Hashira to come close and together we were able to play and handle the kids together. I tried talking to them as individually as I could, going from one kid to another and talking to them. It wasn't until the tenth kid before it slowly dawned on me something I should have realised since yesterday. How the hell am I able to understand everything they were saying? These child
Tracking them came very easy to me, maybe it was because of my extra added senses due to the fact that I was in my true form, or maybe it was simply because someone had threatened and taken some of my people, all I knew was I super focused and ready to hunt some hooded fuckers down.My feet on the ground made no sound as I ran after them, they were fast, so fast that my demon wolf guards couldn't keep up with their attacks, but that didn't mean that they were too fast for me. They were now outside and were rushing towards a group of those...parked flying vehicles I had seen when we came here. They all ran and quickly got in with the children, I could see that they were not being gentle at all, they were going to pay for every tear that each child cried.I got outside after them as soon as Icould and for a split second contemplated whether I should follow them also on the vehicles or on foot. I could have easily gotten into one of the flying vehicles but for one I had no idea how t
We had been moving for quite some time, following the dots on the navigation bar. It has been a long time since we started trailing them and they still hadn't stopped, going farther and farther into the city. The central city was absolutely huge and I finally got to see how big it was, how diverse it really was and all the different buildings and places it had. I definitely wanted a tour one day but right now, our minds were on the children."It has stopped moving" said Hades, his gaze on the navigation bar.My eyes went there immediately and like he said, they had stopped flying and had parked somewhere on the ground. I could see the area and immediately put a break in my vehicle as well, letting it slowly come down to the ground before I parked."We will get closer on foot. Hurry" I said to Hades as I unbuckled my sit belt.I came out and waited for him to come around before turning in the direction, but Hades's hand immediately clamped on mine, halting my movement.He had this lo
was the most fun thing I have ever done, and the fact that I was doing it with my husband just made it all the more memorable for me. The absolute Carnage we wreaked on the building as well as the attackers. Tearing into them and their hideout as well, I almost wanted to kill them but we couldn't do that, so we beat them so close to death but not there yet, and then we finally let the demon guards secure them.It was night now and I was still there. I had left the carnage and the team of guards that were taking care of everything and walked away, moving along the other surrounding huge buildings and just enjoying the late night breeze. Today has just been a lot of things and I needed the time to focus on myself and think about all that had happened. The attack at the building and the fear that I had felt for the parents and the children, my guards getting absolutely destroyed by the skills of the attackers, the chase on the flying vehicles and Hades coming and the immense relief I
I opened the tent and got in, still holding onto Hade's hands, his huge figure also got in behind me, a small playful smile on his face."Let's get your body and your hair clean" said to him.I had his male servants bring in lots of hot water and cold water, setting it by the tub earlier.I immediately undressed from what I had worn into a better fitting cloth for the occasion. I went ahead to the tub to mix different amounts of hot and cold water, until the tub was brimming and I was fully satisfied with the amount of warmth the water had."Come on big guy" I beckoned to Hades as he sat on the bed and watched me. We took off his pants, taking my time to make sure that I appreciated every muscle that was being exposed to my hungry eyes. I took a step back and stared, he was completely naked and I had to just appreciate it."Will you keep staring or I will have this bath anytime soon?" He asked, a knowing smirk on his face."Let's get you in. I don't want anyone coming in and seeing a
We spent the rest of our one week impromptu vacation on a bliss, everything was fine and different and we didn't have to do anything besides eat and get to know each other and at the end of the day, we were insatiable on the bed, everyday was basically like a date, and when that one week came to an end I was shockingly happy to leave, not because I didn't enjoy myself which did, but because I was eager to go back home.We got into a vehicle and were up in the air, going on ahead of everyone, we would meet them at the building and rendezvous from there. We went back to the building that housed us during our stay in the central city and we went into our suite. I went straight to the closet and started parking the few things the girls had left out. I took my time doing all that I needed before Iwas finally ready.I walked through the room into the living room and even looked around but no sign of Hades, where had he gone to?It wasn't until our escorts arrived and we were all ready to
I hurriedly dressed up, wearing breeches and a shirt with boots, something I hadn't worn in a very long time but was quite comfortable in, then I went out to search for my husband.His scent pulled at me, it was faint but I could perceive it, and that was what I used to look for him, going around the camp sniffing around, I am sure I looked pretty weird and was acting weirder to the guards and servants around, but it is what it is.The servants were packing up for us to continue our travels, but what they didn't know was that I wasn't leaving, not until I saw Hades.It took them a little while as they packed up, undoing the tents and then loading them Into carriers. It was a swift and easy thing and they were done in no time. Everything was up and ready and so was my hippo carriage, and then all eyes turned to me.I saw as Feta and the others left and came over to me almost cautiously."Before you even say anything, I am not leaving with you. You guys should go ahead" said the dismis
I walked out of the inn, leaving behind the noise and laughter at the dinner table, just like I thought my personal demon guards followed me out and I was quiet for a while."What plans have you come up with?" I asked him."The five other Shikais have positioned themselves around the inn, and you will have one with you at all times. There would be a rotation every day. We would let you know if anything new comes up" he replied as he bowed.I nodded before looking away. It was quiet at night and I could see lamps through windows in the other surrounding building, a person or two walking around but that was it, it was quiet and it was peaceful."Do you sleep?" I asked out of nowhere. I was guessing the answer but I wanted to know for sure."No, my Queen. We do not have the capability of sleeping" he replied as a matter of fact. It was a little sad to be honest.I nodded then turned and walked back inside, the door closing softly beside me as my guard followed in behind me. I could see
Our footsteps rang out as we walked back into the castle. The noise of the crowd was still reaching my ears after that little speech I and Hades gave. I thought we would get back into the elevator and then back into the new suite that I was staying in but Hades pulled me into one of the rooms in the hallway then closed the door on the guards that were accompanying us."Are you okay?" He asked, looking worried."I am" I replied as I nodded.Our heads both bent down to look at my stomach. It was showing a little bit for over three months."You told them about the baby" I said to him "I did. They were excited for us" he replied with a soft smile"I need to keep you safe," he said, pulling me close. He looked really very worried again."I am safe with you. I promise I won't let pride or any sort of duty keep me from protecting peanuts here. Apart from you, he is the single most important person in my life" I said to him earnestly.He immediately pulled me close and shoved his face into m
A shot came out of nowhere. I was facing Hades and we were both talking about something, now that I think about it I can't remember what it was we were talking about, but a shot came high above from the left side and it came for me. Hades was fast and immediately removed me from the position, and I heard the loud boom that followed it's impact on where I just left. Hades held me tight to him and we were suddenly moving very fast. The guards that were hiding immediately appeared and surrounded us. They had shields out that were covering I and Hades as we rushed back to the palace. Several other loud sounds followed us, very close to where we were but managed not to hit anyone. We were soon inside the palace and I could hear barks of orders from Hades as he shouted at the guards. He went into the elevator and then down underground to the several floors of building we had.He was breathing heavily by the time we appeared inside a new suite. He sat me on the very good looking couch i
We went home silently and uneventfully. The barrier was easy to breach of course with the help of forest whom by the way I hadn't seen once on this entire trip, I was too down and exhausted to play with him and all I wanted to do was go to sleep. The royal demon wolf guards were waiting for us when we arrived and they immediately escorted us back to the castle.The castle was quiet when we arrived, almost as if it had been completely cleared out before we arrived. Hashira and a few familiar council members were waiting for us but I ignored them as well and went straight into our bedroom. It was a little while before Hades joined me. By the time he arrived I was under heaps of blankets shivering and my teeths chattering because I was so very cold. All he did was find me amidst the mountain of blankets and then he held me close."Hades" said after my body had calmed down."Yes?" He asked."You are in love with me" I said softly.He was quiet for a moment, but he couldn't deny it. I t
"It is nice out today" I said to him after a while."Isn't it? I am glad you like it" he replied."Rain is coming though" I said, my eyes trained on the dark clouds far in the horizon, watching them as they got closer and closer to where we were."Yes I see that as well. We can't stay out for long, we have to get back soon" he replied."Of course," I said as I nodded."Where do you want to go in particular?" He asked me.I looked around at the far outstretched land in front of me. The huge grassy field we were currently on. To my far left was a very dense looking forest and to my far right was the edge of a cliff."Let's go to the cliff. I hear it's an amazing view" i said pointing at my right."As you wish" he said as we headed that way."Woah" I whispered the moment my feet touched the ground.The view in front of me was absolutely breathtaking. Even more so than the way Angela had described it for me.There was a small waterfall right underneath the cliff and after that was a vast
"What is the number one priority to both of us?" He asked."Obviously the barrier and making sure it remains unbreached" I replied."Exactly. We have to focus everything that we have on that, together as a team. This is a new evil that we are facing and we do not know how strong this force is and what it is truly here to do. What I know is that we stay together, at all times, promise me" he said as he looked into my eyes."I promise. Together "I promised him."Good" he said as he nodded " I'II scheduled that visit to the facility. Let us see face to face what we are dealing with" he said to me."Yes" I said. My heart was really heavy and I just had to lay my head on the table, trying to stabilise myself. What was all this coming from? I didn't like it one bit, it was honestly not good for my mental health."Hey. Let us go to your horses" he said as he pulled me up and literally had to drag me with him as we walked out of the study."How are you so cheerful? After what we just heard"
I woke up the next day happy and feeling lighter than I have felt in a very long time. I left Hades on the bed and went ahead with my morning body routine in the bathroom and dressed down before leaving our room. It was around eight and I knew Hades would stay asleep till early noon. I was sure we didn't have any plans.went to the kitchen and immediately made toast and then made coffee in a takeaway cup before leaving the castle through the side door. I hurried to the stable where I found that they were already feeding the horses for the morning."My Queen" bowed Angela. She was one of the many workers I met yesterday, she was a little younger than me, tall with beautiful dark hair and blue eyes "Hello Angela. You are all up early" I said as I looked around."Good morning""Morning my Queen"Several of the workers said as they saw me."Good morning everyone" I said out loud.Looking at them now there were not as many as they were yesterday. If anything they had reduced by half. I co
We spent the rest of the evening soaking up in the tub before we came out and finally got that wash down from my husband. We both came out of the bathroom and then into the closet room before dressing up as comfortably as we could."I will have the servants ready the snacks. You go ahead" I said to him as we parted ways at the top of the stairs. I went down and headed straight to the kitchen where I met with several of the cooks there."Hello. I am glad you haven't finished up for the evening" I said to them as I smiled.About three women were marinating chicken while two other males were stocking up the pantry. They all wore uniforms and looked very professional and coordinated."My queen" they said as they all bowed."You are all busy. Let me do it myself" | grumbled to myself as I went ahead to look for where the corn was kept. I found the butter, sugar and milk. But where was the...?"Here my queen" said one of the women as she passed me a bag of corn seeds.It was easy from heat
We went back to the castle silently. The mood between us was dull and tense, like a tight rope being stretched, any moment now it would reach its elastic limit and snap. I could just feel it. We walked into the castle and I could see that Hades was struggling to say something."Let me go freshen up" I said softly to Hades without looking at him.I immediately turned and walked away, climbing the stairs and getting back into our room. I needed some privacy. I walked into the bathroom and shut the door, then immediately pulled out my body care products. I felt the need to pamper myself. I needed to distract myself from everything or I felt like I would just shatter.I spent most of the day first of all taking care of my hair. It was now long rather than the short hair it used to be, and now hair wash days were no longer a breeze the way they used to be. It took me forever to pre-poo, then shampoo, deep condition, leave in conditioner and then seal my hair, before finally styled it.
"You do know that most of us at the academy were related to royalty one way or the other right?" She asked incredulously."Really? I always just thought your grandparents or fathers were all commanders or something" I replied."Well about seventy percent yes. In Fact I think almost all of the students at the academy are one way or the other related to a Commander. A lot of us in the other hand, are related to royalty. Like me" she explained."That explains how you were so grounded, you grew up basically knowing that you were going to rule Lamar one day" I said."Exactly" she replied "so how have you been? Is there a reason why you haven't aged a day since you left?" She added, looking at me with pure envy."Time is slower there" I replied in a chuckle "you still look beautiful by the way, royalty fits you" I said to her.We laughed it off and continued our small talk. It was really nice catching up with her."Where are the guys? Emily and Bryan? Achu and Anthony?" I asked her eagerly.
