All Chapters of The Heart of Hades (MxM Werewolf Romance): Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Alpha Hades "Did you have a look around here yet?" My Beta, Damon, asks as he makes his way into the cabin we share for the time being.  I open one eye and cover my face, groaning in pain. We arrived a week ago to participate in the first round of negotiations with the old Alpha, and I haven't left the cabin since.  My ribs ache, and I still have to change the bandages over one of my shoulders. Fortunately, the old Alpha didn't notice how badly injured I am. The old fart wouldn't hesitate to send out his assassins and finish the job Duke couldn't.  Damon jumps into my bed, and I instantly hiss. "Holy shit, you couldn't be less gentle, could you? As for your question, I'm pretty sure it's clear I haven

Alpha Hades  We chose to stand behind the gathering crowd. I don't want to let anyone know who I am until the time is right. Damon stands next to me and watches as the wolves arrive to take their places.  He nudges me and leans closer, "Are you sure this is the right thing to do? We discussed the deal, and you never told the old Alpha you would think on the day of the ceremony. The Rogue Alpha signed the papers, my friend; we can't back out of this without losing our honour." I scan the crowd once more and let a low groan pass my lips. I don't see the old fool among the guests nor the young Alpha. Have they decided to blow the deal before I've fully made up my mind? Damon

Alpha Hades Ah, if only I could put his facial expression in words. The best comparison I can think of to how the Old Alpha Silver looks now is a child who had a chance to grab and taste a lemon for the first time in his life. Someone's not happy about giving his son away. No one asked him for such a deal; it was his idea, not mine. Yet now, while his pretty little son stands in front of me and I hold his hands, the old bastard keeps throwing me death stares.  I wonder how he'll react when he finds out I'm taking his precious son away from this territory. Arranged marriage or not, I can't let anyone put my almost-husband in danger. I grin at the older Silver when Zeno, I believe th

Alpha Hades Thank the Goddess, I didn't have to chase my bratty wife around the damn pack.  It's amusing how I understand that my spouse is a man and I should call him my husband, but I can't restrain myself from thinking of Zeno as my wife, let alone addressing him by anything other than that. But to be fair, I didn't expect him to be like this. When old Silver Alpha came up with the deal, I was sure I was getting involved with a spoiled brat, but Zeno proved to be anything but that.  Yes, he's a bit bratty, but that's something I can put aside as an Alpha trait- the constant need to defy everyone and prove his superiority.  

Alpha Hades Did I come off too strong? Perhaps, but then again, he's an Alpha and should be able to take my shit with ease.  Now that I think about it, maybe, just maybe, I'm wrong. What if there really is more to Zeno than meets the eye? One of those hidden things must be connected to the medicine he mentioned earlier. What kind of crap does he have to take if he doesn't want to die? How severe is the disease? What in the world could be fatal to an Alpha? Unless it's another shifter, I've never heard of a disease that could take down an Alpha werewolf.  Then comes his unique appearance. Only a blind man wouldn't notice how handsome the Silver Alpha is, b
