Chapter 19: Chapter 19

Persephone's POV

Underworld

"Hades" Sitting on the golden throne he was the epitome of Power and  Masculinity.

"Yes Persephone" the vehemence of fury in his eyes startled me, their sentiments so raw that their shine was all sucked into black Oblivion.

The man in front of me was not my mate anymore, he was a King right now.

"Where were you?" His stoic voice made shudder run down my spine making my thighs clench. He knew the answer perfectly fine, not s single soul can enter or exit Hell without his acceptance.

"You know that yourself Hades." I whispered.

"And I also know you are seeking answers Persephone. Selene is-"

"I trust you." I breathed out, his jaw clenched on hearing the sincerity behind my words. You can't be angry with me my king, I will break each and every ounch of your self control.

"If I had a doubt on you, you would have seen me with Athelia pointing right on your chest." He eyes were smoldering fire, he was outraged.

My steps paved way up the stairs, standing directly in front of him.

"Then what do you want goddess?" His knuckles were white with the force with which he was holding the arm of throne.

There he was, the king of almighty underworld, withering beneath me, the man who cannot deny me and here I am ready to fall on my knees if he will demand that.

"I am ready to accept the truth of my life and as much as I want to deny, I know I will not be all calm and collected while listening to them....so all I want King Hades is your patience and the truth of my life."

I straddled his lap destroying his dam of resistance, all his control and placidity.

"Damn you Persephone, just leave something inside me, something which I own myself and not you."

His mouth latched onto my own, kissing me roughly, his arms shifted on my hips, gyrating and grinding his hips as a moan escaped my lips. My head fell back, mouth falling open as I felt his hard length beneath me.

"Fucking mine, this goddamn little body all mine." He fisted my hair wrapping it around his hand in a grip tugging it backwards, exposing my neck to him marking me with hickeys, claiming me, branding me as his own.

"That pathetic manwhore insulted my Queen and I was sitting here, doing fucking nothing, all because of you rose." A gasp left my lips, heat pooling in my core as he ripped off my clothes. My body was all bare for his hungry eyes to absorb and calm the inner beast.

"Justice was served H-Hades...oh fuuuck!." I moaned as he thrusted inside me.

"I will show everyone what is Justice, I. HAVE. HAD. ENOUGH." he enunciated each word with a hard thrust making me scream out loud with pleasure. My eyes rolling back into my head.

My hands roamed on his chest, wanting that offensive silky fabric discarded but he held both of my hands in his one large palm, another roaming off my body, he then went slow....too slow and it ripped another scream from me.

His lips kissed me so gently and at the same time his hips thrusted hard.

"Gosh Haayyydeeess" I moaned loud and his movements stopped.

He detached himself from me, taking off his shirt, I was extremely aroused but then he raised my hands above my head, covering my body with the same offensive material, closing all the buttons of the black silk.

"What the hell was that?" I asked in horror as he moved away from me, did he just denied me when I was dripping for him, screaming and moaning his name for the whole Underworld to hear?

"Don't curse goddess, you already went to that damned place, put your safety on stake. What else is left...binding me?"

"If you didn't take me tonight, will do that exactly." I murmured under my breath.

His lips ghosted over my earlobe, hot breath hitting my neck.

"I heard that." His whispered. He was torturing me for going to The Hell.

"Goddess you came to talk.... so we will talk." And just like that the atmosphere of the room changed from seductive to drop dead serious.

"I will be honest to you, I always will be....if that bastard had not told you about Selene...I never would have."

"Don't you have faith in me." I asked hurt.

"More than I have in me Persephone. You don't deserve the ugly truth, it's not worth it."

"What do you mean?"

"Once you said that I always knew you were in pain and I didn't came for you-"

I hugged him tightly."I am so sorry Hades but I didn't said them with heart, it was....It was just to make you hate me." I whispered last part.

His arms came around me stroking my back." As if that's possible."

"I could feel you from the day you were born, right here."  He took my hand placing on his heart.

"Your emotions are a part of me,  they always were.

Underworld is constantly in motion,  with its multiple mirage images, you can never find it until it wants to be found or until the fate has chosen you.

Years ago much before your birth, Selene found in after her persistent efforts. She laid a proposal for me to choose her as my mate and reject the one being made for me and get control of her powers......I refused and in return a curse from that evil mouth was born.....a curse of being prisoner in my own world till a werewolf has rejected his or her mate."

He eyed me with pride in his eyes while all I could do was to froze.....the woman I worshipped was....a monster.

When a stone is thrown inside an ocean's cerulean tides, it engulfes it, dosen't shows wrath nor does it shows its calamitous power, it takes pain again and again...but when the almighty tides get angry the consequences are direful.

Hades had remained calm but the fact was that I could see the reins of his rage slipping off his hands and the results won't be pretty.

It was fine till she hurted me. Selene should never have touched my mate.

"We don't have to do this baby." He embraced me in his warmth seating me on the throne, on his lap.

"I-I want to do it...i will do this. I want to hear what she did to my parents."

**************************

Persephone's POV

"I always knew about your father but your mother ....I never actually did, until you told me that day about your wolf." He squeezed my hand in comfort as I laid my head on his chest listening to his heartbeats....the only source of my peace.

"They say that moon goddess blessed Alpha Damien..your father, for his loyalty....she didn't. She wanted followers, worshippers and eventually ...slaves.

She molded her spirit into a werewolf- the first one, followed by others who would follow her each command without a question.

Alpha Damien was fierce and unwavering but he committed a crime...the felony to fall in love."

I stared in his deep eyes only to meet sorrow and I knew something terrible was to follow.

"Although the other werewolves were allowed to mate, Selene wanted Alpha Damien for herself, she wished for him to be pure and not follow a woman and have his own family, her thoughts were that family makes one weak. She wanted full control over him because she still believed him to be a part of her soul even though she ripped his off hers a long time ago.

But Alpha Damien didn't fell in love with a common maiden whom Selene could kill and make him forget about her. His love was prohibited and forbidden.

He loved a goddess- Astra, the goddess of light...your mother. She wasn't unaware of his emotions and as time descended she too fell in love with him. Your mother was taken away by Selene eventually when she disappeared but when she knew that your life would be in danger because of her, she went into hiding after running away from the moon goddess."

My eyes widened as no words could be formed on my tongue.

"Selene could only watch with malice at that time your parents married because she didn't had power against goddess Astra. But she had power over one thing....their werewolf child. She would have never harmed you, if you were not connected to me she would have instead blessed you." His voice got steely at the end, I was afraid with the amount of anger he was capable to hold inside him.

He wasn't waiting for a opportunity, he was waiting for the absolute time and it was too catastrophic. Hades was going to destroy something and I wasn't aware what it would be.

"Goddess Astra knew how cruel the moon goddess can be, so she decided to give her a gift- the palace of Stars and Light in reciprocity of a healthy child and swear her loyality and devotion to Selene." He spat her name with venom and I realized my fists were clenched in rage.

"You can stop when you want my King." Instead he pulled me closer burying his face in the crook of my neck.

"On your birth that evil woman truly realised who you were..." His arms tightened around me as his jaw clenched hard.

"And she fucking took away your wolf spirit, that maniac woman was so much obsessed with being my Queen that she broke our mate bond but it isn't that simple, she is not obsessed with me just for taking the throne, she wants to destroy me completely."

I gasped in terror "SHE DID WHAT?"

"That bastard was never your mate Persephone. It was me....always. But our mate bond was destroyed and he was tied to your fate.

The law of time unbounds me Persephone, I am above every curse, every sacrifice and every blessing. My life source is invincible.... literally.

And the only thing which can bound me, which chains me is my mate now....was my mate then. It was a path of you being born so at that time the curse worked.

But I could still feel you everytime you wanted me I could hear you and I did hear you the day you were running from the beast your father had become."

I gasped, my eyes widening.

"How?"I whispered shocked.

"He told you to search for black roses didn't he?"

"But-"

"The only place they grew was right in front of my temple. No powers, no magic works there, the entrance is prohibited to anyone who is not a pure soul and he knew it."

My eyes glistened with tears. My dad was my hero and he should have never received that life of anguish.

"What happened to him? I-i didn't remembered anything after I entered the temple." Hades hands cupped my cheeks, kissing my forehead.

"He broke the sacred door of the temple and was anathematized to an endless sleep of nightmares." My heart broke with each word Hades spoke as tears trailed down my cheek.

Hades embraced me, protectively covering my body as I wailed in his shirt.

"Baby, don't cry my love."

"C-can we now f-free him" I hiccuped as his shook his head.

"We can't."

"But why Hades?" I was panicking now.

"Persephone, he is dead."
