Kindle Notes & Highlights
Future wife. Fucking Fates.
I am going to have to stop breaking things when she gets here, he thought, and then scolded himself for sounding so…hopeful.
persephone treated him like shit
This was Persephone, the goddess who would be his queen, and she was everything.
“You see, the goddess you touched, the one you attempted to choke, the one you left a mark upon, will be my wife.”
this trope goes hard
“Tell your side piece,” Minthe countered. “She’s downstairs.”
girl what
He watched the god’s profile—the way his jaw clenched and his fingers curled at the sound of the word. The God of Fire looked at Hades then, his brows drawn together, and there was a sincerity within his eyes Hades had never perceived before. “I want her to be happy.”
bye thats so sweet
“You are a goddess. You will sit on a throne.” Those words were similar to what he was really thinking. You will be my wife and queen. You will sit on a throne.
Hades’s eyes narrowed, and he laughed. Orpheus loved her, yes, he could sense that, but the guilt told him the mortal was hiding something.
why does hades not tell her this
“You will worship me,” she said, grinding against his cock. “And I won’t even have to order you.” Oh, darling, he thought. If you only knew how I worship you now.
My lover, he thought. My wife, my queen.
“What would you trade for something you loved?” the Magi countered. The world, Hades thought.
“Let me be clear, Aphrodite. This bargain has no bearing on whether or not Persephone will be my queen, as that is a future woven by the Fates. If you fuck with her, you fuck with me.”
“Is that what you were attempting to prove last night? Because all I saw was my future wife in distress. A crime that will not go unpunished.”
“This was a mistake.” That was not a lie, and the truth of it shattered his soul.
“If you so much as glance in her direction again, I will tear you limb from limb and feed your carcass to the Titans,” Hades said. “Do you doubt me?”
“A touch of darkness,” he murmured, fingers trailing down the inside of her arm until they tangled with her own. “Dance with me.”
“I want you. Be my first, be my everything.”
Who was he to deny a queen? “As you wish.”
She was perfect. She was everything, and he kissed her again,
“Your words matter,” he said, nose brushing hers. “Only yours.”
and as sleep descended upon Hades, he had the thought that he would tear this world apart if anyone tried to take Persephone from him.
Darling, he wanted to say. You are the only woman in my mind.
Dream of me, and only me, for the rest of eternity.”
Take her, and I will destroy this world. Take her, and I will destroy you. Take her, and I will end us all.
“Plan your ball, Lady Persephone.” “Come home soon, Lord Hades.”
“She is a game, a pawn! Here you are flaunting her as if she were your queen.” “She is my queen!” Hades barked, nearly coming out of his chair.
“You are beautiful. I have never wanted like I want with you.”
“I burn for you,” she said
and u dont even know my naaame
“What do you want?” she asked. “You,” he said. “Always you.”
“Tell me how I feel.” “Like life.” She was life, his life.
“You are too perfect for me,” he whispered, kissing her hair, and they fell into a peaceful slumber.
Still, he thought, if I hold her long enough, if I give her long enough, maybe I could hold her together, maybe I could hold us together.
“Don’t you think if he wanted me, he would have come for me?” Oh, darling, Hades thought. I will spend the rest of my life showing you how much I want you.
