CHAPTER 14

The God of Death and I were alone in a sealed room illuminated by blue diamonds.

How had that happened?

“My heir and I need to be alone in the room,” Hades had said after he teleported us to the peak of the highest Hell mountain, encircled by a mist of fire.

Believe me, Hell wasn’t all fire, lava, swamps, or rivers of forgetfulness that screwed you all up. Hell had everything the surface had, but it was a dark, gloomy, and depressing version. Depressed people should never come to the Underworld since they wouldn’t survive it, but then Hell waited for almost everyone in the end.

Hades had told me that he usually came to the mountain to meditate and strengthen his power. The gods weren’t in their prime anymore. Their powers were fading after endless years and a lack of stimulation. One of the reasons they had returned to Earth was to find a way to return themselves to their old glory.

“There is no chance in Hell we’ll let you be alone with my mate,” Alaric had said cuttingly.

All of my mates had issued fierce objections, and Reys had thrown Hades a few colorful insults, since he’d suffered the most under the death god’s treatment.

“If it weren’t for my daughter’s sake, all of you would be my bitter enemies,” Hades had hissed. “I only informed you of this condition out of courtesy toward my daughter. None of you would survive the death power my heir and I are soon going to unleash; not even the former Lord of the Underworld could get out in one piece.”

Hades had sent Pluto a disdainful look before scanning my formidable mates again. “That’s why I built that Diamond Room, and it must be sealed while I train my heir inside. If you insufferable hot-heads insist on joining us in the room, be my guests. But if you perish, my heir will be overcome by grief and thus become useless when the gods come looking for her. You know how unpredictable Cass is.”

My eyes had flashed darkly at his low opinion of me, but then why should I even care what he thought of me? I’d found it bewildering that his words could hurt my feelings.

Hades wasn’t bluffing.

“We survived the Court of Ice and Wind just fine,” Alaric had countered, “and your Diamond Room won’t be any different than the ancient temple set in the past.”

Hades had snorted. “You want a bet, bastard son of my brother? I’ve given you the warning, and I wash my hands of your inevitable demise.”

“Hades,” I’d said hotly. “I don’t appreciate how you keep calling my mate bad names!”

“He’s called me worse, daughter,” Hades had said, then he’d stepped into the windowless room built by his Hell power and hadn’t glanced back.

I’d stopped my mates from following me into the room. I wouldn’t risk their lives, and I believed this was a different case than that of going together into the Rabbit Hole.

It’d taken me batting my lashes and using all my wits and wiles to convince them I’d be safe.
