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
Enemies And Friends
HADES’ POVGivan and Norman followed me back to the Structure obediently and meekly.After watching in horror the swift and cruel death of the third Titan, they knew that there wasn’t any way out. Even though they had both initially agreed to come with me, after that incident, the fear had been instilled in them, and they knew that if they as much as posed any slight resistance, they would end up like the dead Titan.We also left his body right there to rot.Syron was waiting at the gate when we arrived.“These are Titans, aren’t they?” He dragged me to the side and asked.“Yes, they are,” I responded.“Why have you brought the Titans to our cave?” He asked worriedly. “You know that we are like oil and water; we don’t mix,” he reminded me.“But I stayed in their camp for years, Syron,” I responded.“That is different,” he said.“How so?” I asked, cocking one of my brows.“You were there on a mission,” Syron answered.“And so are they,” I said, referring to Givan and Norman.“But look
Barged In
NESSE’S POVAs much as I wanted to tell Athena to leave, or even call the cops on her, for the very first time, I had to surrender, but I didn’t do it in a way that made it seem like I was surrendering.“The only reason you are getting away with this is because of this damn condition I am in,” I had told her.Again, until I found whoever was responsible for that attack, I might need an extra hand, and more than that, I didn’t want to keep collapsing in public.I dozed off against my wish. I guessed the exhaustion had gotten hold of me and I wasn’t able to control it, and when I woke up, Athena was still right there.“Don’t you take a break?” I asked her with a sneer. “I don’t want anyone hovering around me,” I added tightly.“Which is why I am giving you a little distance,” Athena responded.I opened my mouth to ask her to leave my ward, or maybe even send her on a pointless errand, just to get her away from me, but I changed my mind, and for good reason.“How bad is the scandal?” I
Without A Choice
HADESGivan remained scared and confused.He glanced at the other two sleeping Titans, but those ones were so dead into sleep that they didn’t even stir.I shook my head at them.“How…how…how did you find us?” He managed to ask, stuttering.“You forget who I am easily, Givan,” I said.Givan was the leader of the gang; I knew this when I eavesdropped on them twice in the Organization plotting to rebel.It was a good thing that he was the one awake because it would make whatever I wanted to achieve easier.“I am sorry, Hades,” he apologized profusely.“After plotting to rebel for a while, it’s hard to believe, or rather disappointing, that this is what becomes of all of you,” I said.His eyes widened in shock. He probably didn’t realize that I knew what they had been planning.“How did you find out?” He managed to ask again.I chuckled deeply.“You weren’t discreet enough,” I responded.Then he tried to look over my shoulders, more worried and afraid that someone was with me, most likel
Strong Sense Of Direction
HADES’ POVI checked every part of me thoroughly and I found out that I was completely healed. Not that I was surprised anyway because he was one of the best any of the realms had ever found.As a matter of fact, he was the only healer anyone had ever known, only that I was smart enough to keep him refined tot his realm only. If others knew of his potency, they would have tried to bribe him into leaving to join them, or if that didn’t work, because he was too loyal to bite, they would have tried to force him.And when that didn’t work, they would have tried to kill him.One thing I learned early in life that most realm leaders didn’t was secrecy; even Iron didn’t have it.If I was in his shoes, I would never have given in and divulged all the things he revealed to me.“Going somewhere?” Syron asked me.I didn’t even realize that he was there.I turned and saw him staring at me with reverence, and then he bowed with obeisance. I couldn’t deny that I had missed this dearly.For years, I
