Her Forever (Book 4)- Chapter 5

Hades’s POV

Once his finger grazed her skin, I saw red. Anger flew through my veins as I snapped my fingers. Darkness fell upon the entire club and a 3-block radius. Darkness was something that I was accustomed to. It was where I worked, where I thrived. In the darkness, I could accomplish the most abhorrent things. Take life from one of the living souls that tainted the Earth. I was the only god granted this power; the power of death and the underworld demanded it. Not even Zeus himself could take life, many could say I was the stronger god, and indeed I was. I just didn’t let it be known to all.

There were screams as the club was in darkness; with the snap of my fingers, Gwen fell asleep, falling into Niko’s arms. My body was repulsed that he would hold her to his chest. I slowly walked the steps, the emergency lights guiding me to the stage. Every soul stood in fear, along with my gods and demon. Niko looked up to me in fear, fear that I was going to put harm upon this innocent woman. My jaw ticked, and I held my arms out to pick her up.

Brushing my hair back, the clicking of my Italian leather shoes stopped to the front of John’s desk. Leaning over with my hands as a support, I spoke to the snake in front of me, “Where. Is. The. Helm.” I said deeply, low. His shaking became worst as he spoke of the relic.

There were worry lines or possibly angry lines that made him much older than he probably was. Once I glanced into his dark eyes that were hard and stoic, they softened.

I’ve always been alone, but I thought Niko was different. He never hit on me, slapped my rear-end as I walked by. He was honestly nice and tipped well. Probably thinking I was able to keep it.
