We found Cerberus waiting for us at the barrier, a huge beast that he was. All his three heads came up when we got close and he immediately stood up and ran towards us, his huge paws literally making the ground shake. He came over to me and completely smothered me, jumping up and down and barking in joy."Hey big guy" I said as I tried to rub him as much as I could.A stranger would think that Ceberus was behaving this way because we hadn't seen each other in a while, but that was far from the truth. Cerberus was the last one I saw almost everyday before I went to sleep, and when I was gone for about a week to the central city, I spent the night sleeping literally on Cerberus rather than on the bed with my husband, we had gotten very close and couldn't forget all that he had done for me."Hey" whispered Hades as Cerberus. went over to him.I watched as the master touched the pet, Ceberus immediately whimpering and submitted. I looked to the side and found that our belongings had bee
The rest of the flight was uneventful, I tried as hard as I could to keep my eyes away from Hades, ignoring him and doing other things. My eyes still kept wondering though, and it made me realise how much I used to stare at him. If I thought about it well whenever I and Hades were in a room together eighty percent of the time my eyes were trained on him. Now that I was beyond pissed and angry I still wanted to look at him, but I wouldn't let myself.Hades was quiet as well, placing his head on his palm and closing his eyes. I knew he was awake and anytime I shifted even if it was a little bit his eyes immediately went open with his gaze trained on me. I could feel his gaze even more intense and scorching against my skin, he could tell that I was pissed at him, and I wondered if he knew what he had done wrong. Hades was a lot of good things even if he wasn't aware of it, but he could also be quite obtuse to many emotions, like I could literally tell he was wondering what was up wit
Well Shit."Well...that's definitely interesting, '' I said with a weird voice.That was intense. What my husband had just told me was huge, what?"I know it's a lot to process and you don't have to do that right now, you can take all the time that you need to come to terms with it. I will tell you more when I think you are ready" he said to me."Okay" said softly.My heart rate that had picked up was slowly coming back down, but I was still freaked out. My mind was going all over the place with what he had just said, and its connection with that drawing I had seen. There was an enemy out there that wanted to use me and defeat me, and in doing that be capable of destroying the world. I was absolutely scared out of my mind, not for me and what would happen to me, but for the world and what would happen to it. I needed to protect myself so that could protect the world."Don't worry too much about it. I will protect you" he said, his eyes calm and steady. He was absolutely sure of wha
Dinner was a silent affair, sounds of fork hitting ceramic and the chink of wine glasses was constant. I was surel was the only one that felt absolutely stupid and insecure, I honestly didn't even know how to use the right utensils and at some point just gave up and had to use whatever I could.Every once in a while the courses for dinner would change until it was time for dessert. I honestly couldn't wait for it to end so she could leave. I didn't know for how long I could keep ignoring the fact that not once had she looked at me and she kept staring at my husband, having small talks with him."How have you been enjoying your stay so far?" She asked Hades, giving him a big smile."The Castle is absolutely gorgeous. You said you just renovated it?" I answered instead, giving her my own big smile.It didn't escape my eyes the glare she gave me before she smiled back at me."Yes of course. A refurbishment of the castles are done every few years. I am glad we keep to this tradition eve
I walked out of Bodiam Castle and then went to where my husband stood waiting for me by the car. I was dressed in a formal white dress, it had a peplum top and then flayed to the ground, it looked beautiful and I felt elegant in it. My hair was braided as well, with flowers and some pins that made it look regal, my tail on the other hand was hidden. It wasn't that I was afraid of what they would think when they saw it, the dresses here just didn't allow me the luxury of letting my tail breathe without destroying the dress.So I met with Hades and he helped me get into the car through the door he had opened, then he joined me in. I honestly could not take my eyes off him, he was dressed in a three piece suit and I tell you he looked so good I wanted to cry. His hair was just like mine and had been actually done up in this masculine twist that made him look beautiful. I couldn't describe how good he looked even if I tried honestly.The Entourage pulled away from the curb and soon we
"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.
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.
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
