Natural Power
HADES’ POV“You betrayed me, Hades,” Iron said, his voice raw and dangerous.“I don’t know what you are talking about,” I said, my lips trembling with fear.I tried not to be fearful as I stood in front of Iron, but I couldn’t. Even when I tried to stop myself from showing it so that Iron wouldn’t find out, it didn’t work.I was so shaky that I wish the conversation would end and I would leave.Of course, Iron saw how shaky and trembling I was and his lips contorted in a coy smile.“If you are speaking the truth, why then do you tremble?” He asked me.“I am not trembling,” I denied blatantly even though I knew he could see well enough.Iron decided to abandon that.“You know, Hades, I trusted you with my life,” Iron told me.“And I served you,” I responded tightly.Fuck, why was I shaking profusely?“No, you didn’t, Hades,” Iron said.“I wasn’t expecting that you would believe me. After everything I did for you, Iron, Blake came over and your trust and loyalty shifted within seconds,”
Prepare For War
IRON’S POV“What did the Seer say?” Blake asked me.I was preparing to leave the Organization.It was already a little bit dark and most of the Titans were already retiring to their rooms. Now that Belle was no longer in the Organization and they didn’t face the risk of being attacked and killed, there wasn’t much to worry about.I needed to get update from Athena about Nesse.No matter how hard I tried to put Nesse at the back of my mind, I just couldn’t. I needed to ensure that she was safe.I wasn’t going to see her…just Athena.“He said that there is no point in looking for Hades and Belle and the other Titans who fled, Blake,” I opened up to Blake.“What does that even mean?” Blake asked, confused. I had felt the same way too.“You already made a firm vow to the Titans, Lord Dante,” he reminded me.“I didn’t forget about that, Blake,” I answered. “The reason he said not to go looking for them is because they would come to us,” I added.“He said that?” Blake asked.“Yes, he did,”
Cruel Daughter, Crueler Mother
ATHENA’S POVWe arrived at Nesse’s house and Jules was dragged into her house like a poor criminal. The woman might have done wrong by Nesse, but my heart went out to her.I couldn’t believe that anyone would treat their mother the way Nesse was treating hers.“Keep her in the isolated room until further instructions,” Nesse commanded her staff.“This is wrong, Nesse!” Jules called out as they dragged her away mercilessly.“Unfortunately for you, no one can punish me for it,” Nesse said coyly.She was so cold and cruel.After their argument at the hospital, Jules had had no choice but to stay back even though she didn’t want to.Then, when it was evening and nearly dark, the doctor had come in, checked Nesse, and declared her fit to leave. I had thought that she would have handled things nicely, but I was wrong.Even Nesse’s state of being pregnant didn’t make her act with emotions.She had arranged for her bodyguards to have Jules taken into her car with discretion. Fortunately for h
Hostage
NESSE’S POVI could see and feel the shock on my mum’s face, but I didn’t care.“You don’t mean what you just said,” she said in utter shock and disbelief.“You heard me right, mum,” I said with a deliberate sneer.“You can’t lock me up in here!” She lashed out.I smiled ruefully.Again, I couldn’t be more thankful for Athena’s competence and swift reaction. When I saw that my mum was leaving, and I knew just what she was capable of doing the moment she stepped out through that door, I knew that things needed to be handled in my own way.I had signaled to Athena without having to say a word.She had understood and swung into action.I was pained and enraged that she had found out. She was the last person I wanted to ever find out, especially judging by what was going on between us lately, but now that she had, I could only manage the situation in my own way.“I am not locking you up, mum,” I said, deliberately sounding sarcastic when I mentioned the name “mum.”“Then what is this abou
What I Know Now
JULES’S POVNesse didn’t respond to my question, but I knew what I saw.She was pregnant.Since I asked that question, she hadn’t said a single word. Instead, she had covered her stomach with the sheets, and I knew that the sheets had only fallen below her stomach slightly by mistake, otherwise I wouldn’t have known.I birthed Nesse.I would know if she was pregnant, and from what I saw, she was.The swell was very small, almost unnoticeable it would be for a stranger, but my eyes caught it instantly, and maybe that was because I was Nesse’s mother.“You are pregnant,” I said with confirmation.This wasn’t a question anymore.If Nesse wasn’t, she wouldn’t have been this quiet.She might be the toughest woman in the entire city, but she was my daughter, and I knew her like the back of my palm. No one ever thought that Nesse had a weakness, but I did, and it was surprising that in the time of desperation, I hadn’t used it against her.Oh, she should really be glad.“I am not,” Nesse den
Only Be Prepared
“I want to meet the Seer again,” I told Blake as I prepared to leave.“If you trust his judgment, Lord Dante,” he responded, making me stop.“You don’t?” I asked.I recalled instantly that Hades had been like that too, and quite honestly, I wasn’t sure I could deal with someone close to me who didn’t believe in the Seer as much as I did.He might not exactly have been giving me useful information lately, but one thing was certain; he had been useful to me when I couldn’t even reveal my identity to anyone or let any of the Titans know that I was alive except Hades.“That’s not what I meant,” Blake said.“What did you mean?” I asked him.“All I am saying is that if you trust his judgment, then you should go to him. We the Titans in this Organization are trusting in you,” he said deeply.That was soothing.At least, he wasn’t acting like Hades.“Alright,” I said.“Do you want me to come with you?” Blake asked and I shook my head.I shook it too quickly that it made Blake feel a certain t
