I am Persephone, future Queen of the Underworld, Lady of Your Fate. May you come to dread my presence.”
she is incredibly sexy
“One word, my lady. I’ll slay her in the alley.”
bff
What’s the game?” Helen asked. “Poker?” “No!” everyone said in unison, eyes shifting to Hades, who glared as if he wished
Ben went next. “Never have I ever stalked an ex-girlfriend.”
like. okay
“A god cursing us!”
girl duh? like no it’s snowing in august bc of global warming
The gods will rain terror down upon us. There will be despair and destruction.”
girl shut the hell up
She fits in—as a mortal and a journalist.
i mean not really considering she’s dating hades
Even so, he’d all but rejected her earlier—both her words and her body. It was as if he wanted no part of her tonight.
why would you think that bff
“I never thought I’d thank the Fates for anything they gave me, but you—you were worth all of it.” “All of what?” “The suffering.”
god
“I’m…s-s—” Persephone slowed as Apollo struggled beside her. He tried again. “I’m sor—” His mouth quivered, as if the words made him want to vomit. “I’m sorry,” he finally managed, shuddering. “Is your brain hemorrhaging?” Persephone asked.
knew it was traditional for Greeks to participate in most sports naked—with the exception of chariot races—but did they really need to practice that way too? “Hades is not going to be happy when he finds out how I spent my day,” she mused.
lol
“Then why are you staring at Ajax?” A muscle feathered in Apollo’s jaw. “It would be foolish of me not to watch my hero’s opponent.” “When he’s undressing?” she asked, raising a brow. Apollo sneered. “I don’t like you.”
“Baby steps, sugar tits.”
your honor i love him
“Whatever you’re about to do, stop,” Hecate said, appearing in the room, her hand covering her eyes.
they can’t catch a break with these interruptions
“And me?” Hades said. “What shall I wear to this party?” Hecate looked over her shoulder. “You only have two outfits, Hades. Choose one.”
get em
“I thought of it because you like picnics,” Yuri said, and beside her, Hecate snorted. Persephone arched a brow at the goddess. “What? I do like picnics.” “You like picnics alone. With Hades. You like Hades,” Hecate said.
He reached to brush his fingers along her cheek. “If I had known—if I’d been given any inkling—I would have never—”
Besides, you’d have no chance at handling this situation quietly once Hephaestus found out. He would set the world on fire for her.”
“If I was marrying Hades,” Hermes said, scooping up another bite of Persephone’s food, “I’d want a televised wedding so everyone knew that piece of ass was mine.”
She held the scissors over her palm. In a flash, Hecate’s hand reached out and drove downward. The ends of the scissors pierced through Persephone’s hand and jammed into the table beneath.
oh!
“You have been brainwashed—too much time spent on Hades’s dick.”
girl?
“There’s nothing on your desk,” Ivy said.
mind your business
“Trust, darling, I will let no one—not king or god or mortal—stand in the way of making you my wife.”
Even with a community vibrator.
oh!
“No!” Persephone cried and flung out her hands.
oh girl
His stare lingered on her face before his head fell into the crook of her neck and his body shook against hers. She said nothing as she felt hot tears soak through her skin.
stopppp🥺
“That pussy must be gold,” Poseidon mused.
die
“I’m sorry. I know you asked that I stay hidden, but I couldn’t. Not when they wished—” He silenced her with a kiss. It seared her lips and her mouth, and when he pulled away, he held her face. “You were wonderful,” he said. “Truly.” Her eyes watered. “I thought they would take me from you.” “Never,” he whispered, and he spoke the word over and over again like a prayer—a desperate plea—until she almost believed it.
He was gentle and patient in his instruction,
yeah…. ahaha
“Rude,” he shot back.
you cockblocked her, she’s allowed to be rude
“Ignore her,” said Hermes. “She has a stick up her vagina.” Persephone looked at the god. “It’s ass, Hermes. Stick up her ass.”
LOL
she made her way down the hallway to the queen’s suite, where she crawled beneath the cold covers and wept.
hades if you don’t get your ass in there RIGHT NEOW
disapproving frowns.
you can’t be there to celebrate them and still be mad
He was wearing the brightest suit she’d ever seen—in a shade of yellow that resembled the skin of a lemon. It had black lapels and flowers embroidered on the jacket in colors of teal, red, and green.
fugly
“I think I began to favor the color when Persephone wore it at the Olympian Gala.”
he’s so soft
“Hades, your plaything is far too sensitive.”
like why would think insulting her is the move
Hermes snorted, appearing beside Persephone holding his plate and silverware. “You sit before gods and that is the question you choose to ask?” “Hermes, what are you doing?” Persephone asked. “I missed you,” he said and shrugged.
“Did he just say maiden? As in a virgin? He has to know that isn’t true, right?”
well she did announce they were fucking so
When he’d told her of the bargain he’d made, he had agonized, and she had quickly recognized that it was Hades who had wanted children.
:(
“Then we take the child,” Hera said.
die!!!
“I do not trust Zeus or Poseidon or Hera, but I trust us,” he said. “Marry me tonight, and they cannot take it away.”
i’m sick
“I knew the moment Hades spoke of you that I would love you. I never doubted for a moment that this day would come.”
“She will reincarnate one day,” Thanatos said.
can they not choose to stay? like go to asphodel or
“For you?” she asked. “Always.” “Always,” Hades repeated.
maybe always will be our okay
“You are my everything,” he said. “My first love, my wife, the first and last Queen of the Underworld.”
i’m sick
The mortal had pissed himself,
oop😭
“With my life,” Hermes said. “Sephy is my friend.” “And mine,” said Apollo. “And mine,” said Aphrodite,
i love them
“Her thread is cut, Persephone. There is no bringing Demeter back.”
WHAT
“That,” Hecate said, “is the sound of Theseus releasing the Titans.”
great
