Listen Audiobook Version:



My heart beat widly as we ran.

I could still hear the noise behind us. Screams of horror as people continued to fight against each other. The shouts of fear and pain. We left it all behind as Tiara increased her speed.

We ran past the palace, and went around it until Tiara brought us to the woods at the back. Tiara's paws hit against the floor in quick succession

I could still feel Hades behind me.

His presence was so strong that I feared we wouldn't be outrun it.

I could hear his whispers, like a snake's hiss, threatening me.

He was getting closer, way too close and I begged Tiara to run as fast as we could.

Tiara weaved through the trees in the woods trying to see if I could loose him, but it was of no use. There was almost no escaping Hades shadow.

Ahead of me, I saw that the woods had opened into an opened field. We ran faster as Tiara's fangs held on tightly to Lily's clothes, holding her tightly and yet comfortably.

The infant was quiet, almost as if she knew she was in safe hands, but I could feel her fear. I saw it in the wide-eyed look she gave to me.

Finally, I burst out from the woods into the open field. I began to run free as my paws brushed against the fresh leaves of the field.

"Enough!" I heard a voice boom through the air.

The ground shook. It was like a sudden earthquake was happening. I came to a sudden stop as I tried to find my balance.

Tiara's ears perked up. The ground began to split open.

I staggered, unable to withstand the force of the earthquake despite how hard I tried to maintain my balance.

My heart trembled and I suddenly felt uneasy.

Suddenly, Tiara's paws gave way and we landed on the floor. Tiara rolled to the side to protect Lily from getting injured as the infant fell to the floor.

Tiara gasped, her breaths coming out heavy and disoriented.

Tiara lifted her head just in time to see the shadow shift, for twisting as the shape changed into a man all dressed in black.

He was handsome, way more handsome than any man I knew, it was beyond the ordinary and yet there was something sinister about the looks.

His presence stuck to the air, choking the breath out of me.

Hades walked to a stop before Tiara and stretched his hand. His face was fixed in a deep scowl that reflected his displeasure.

"Hand the girl over." Hades said with a sneer, his voice so cold that Tiara shivered. There was no request in his tone. It was a command through and through. "Now!" he growled.

A wave of dominance swept over Tiara, and she was forced to lower her head in submission. However, I refused to be controlled without a fight.

I forced Tiara to stay up, as she stared Hades in the face.

He was after Lily, a child we had to protect. There was no way I would allow him to do that.

I positioned myself in defensive stance, ready to fight.

However, before I could make a move, a sudden force of power overcomed me.

"Shift!" Hades orders.

I couldn't control the next action. It was as if my will no longer mattered as I shifted against my choice.

The pain was excruciating, it was way too much for me to bear.

I couldn't see well, the world spun around me. Tiara rolled around painfully as she shrunk into a shell and shifted into my human form.

I was naked, the cold night air blowing over my skin as I crossed my hands over myself.

Hades towered above me, his gaze dark as he watched with an aura of power and dominance I could not withstand.

He smirked, his eyes roaming over

my naked skin. "I see why the men are falling all over the place just to have a taste of you." He pursed his lips. "could have done myself the favor of taking you, but that blasted matebond has ruined it all."

I raised my chin in anger, crossing my arm over my bare skin as I hid myself away from his sight. Hades reaches out for Lily.

"You should stop joking around and give me the child now!" Hades said harshly.

I refused, shielding Lily.

Hades hissed and bent down as he

pulled me aside and made to grab

Lily. Just then, a lightning bolt strikes the ground, pushing Hades away from me.

I looked to the side, and I felt a pleasant thrill as I saw a brilliant white light fill the space.

I was familiar with this presence. The moon goddess.

Suddenly everything began to look different. Flowers grew from the floor, and the atmosphere was beautiful.

As the moon goddess moved closer, flowers wrapped my skin and covered my nakedness.

"Eden." The moon goddess called out softly.

I felt a bolt of relief stab me as I

suddenly felt light. I couldn't have been able take Hades all on my own and Operceived the moon goddess must have seen that before.

Hades growled, suddenly angry as he balled his fists.

There was a strange tension between them, not the usual type between enemies, it was something more, something deeper.

Hades stepped forward, moving towards the moon goddess who radiated a certain brilliance I could not comprehend.

My eyes widened. Sister?

I looked at the moon goddess who didn't seem to flinch at what Hades said.

The moon goddess smiled and shook her head in disappointment. "You're still up to mischief, Baby brother."

I was too shocked to say a word, I merely stared at them unable to do anything else.
