CHAPTER 5 - UNEXPECTED INTRUDER

  Ever so slow he leaned in and suddenly there was a rattling sound from the bushes behind them.
    Hades looked behind them and stood up instantly, drawing Aphrodite from the seat, and then he gave Hypnos a stare that shot arrows.
   "  I thought I said there should be no interruption or intruders. Did you secure the area!!!"
     "Yes my Lord I did. I would go and check what's going on."
Hades and Hypnos knew how to communicate with each other telepathically 'through their minds'. He didn't want to make Aphrodite worry, so he spoke to Hypnos through his mind.
     Before Hypnos could leave to check what was going on, Aphrodite screamed at what she saw.
          ' It was a werewolf 🐺'
      The wolves were referred to as 'shapeshifters' and they were enemies to all the realms Hades hated the wolves mostly because, once they killed his closest brother, and ever since that incident, he never kept any werewolf he came across alive.
    "What is it "  Hades asked, but she couldn't speak. she opened her mouth to talk but nothing came out and finally, The shapeshifter came out of his hiding place. Out of shock, she fainted at what she had seen.
      When she woke up, she found herself back in her room with the curtains raised, the sun shining bright the birds singing in harmony the, sweet breeze blowing and then, there was a knock on the door.
    "Com in," she said with a weak voice.
   A fair skin with red long hair and orange, more like fire eyes, and her body looking well-shaped woman walked in.
      *****
Hades kept on pacing back and forth in his room. ∆∆∆flashing back.
  The shapeshifter came out of its hiding place and Aphrodite fainted at what she had seen.
      Hades told Hypnos to put Aphrodite on Hecate's back and instruct him to take her home. Hecate was called his Black Beauty because it could also shapeshift. But it was different. Unlike the wolves who could change into humans, Hecate could change into different animals and objects its kind was rare.
    " I see you are hanging around the little princess right? It's such a pity she doesn't know what the great prince of the underworld has installed for her and her kingdom."  "Well I didn't mean to scare Missy, I guess I am irresistible, so she couldn't stand my presence. Take my advice his Highness and back away before it is too late because the spider can't always stay on the host for too long, sooner or later it will be killed".
     After the flashback, he began to think about how the shapeshifter got to know him. He mediately went to meet his father.
   Hades didn't even bother knocking, he just barged into the conference room where his father was having a meeting. Everyone stood up at the prince's approach.
     "We need to talk now!!". From his son's behavior, he could tell something really bad had happened.
      So his father excused himself and took his son to his courtyard. "what is it".
     " Our plan has been ruined, someone else knows our plan.
