The Passion of Hades (The Hades Trials, #2)

by Eliza Raine

'You were wronged, by my worst enemy, and you paid the highest price. And now only you have the power to make it right.'

'Do I amuse you?' 'You just... Nobody other than you has ever spoken to me like that.'

'Yes, Hades, I know being with me blew your mind and I know you cried like a baby afterward, but we're not doing it again. Now, please stop bothering me.' I heard his deep, booming laugh in my head as I spun on my heels and marched away from him. 'Well played, Beautiful. Well played.’

'You are the same,' Poseidon hissed, his eyes glowing an intense blue. 'Your wrath is no less as a human, your temper as hot and unpredictable as it ever was.' 'You'd lose your fucking temper if you'd had your memories and power stolen!' Rage was burning through my blood, heating my whole body, and sending almost painful tingles across my skin.

'When you use your power to grow things, to create life, you... You become practically irresistible.'

Strength born from overcoming trauma is very different to blood-born arrogance. It is true strength.'

Color leapt to her cheeks as her eyes widened. And I knew I wasn't imagining the lust I could see in them.

I would never let her go again. I couldn't. She was light and life and love, and she was mine.
