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
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
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"
