Mad Dog

14. A desperate plan

Hesper's pov

Nick stopped moving and stared at a tree with the same expression Hades had the day he met me. His eyes were in a complete trance and me and my mate were in utter confusion. I heard the soft patter of a pair of feet coming from behind a tree and I seen my cousin Clover emerge shyly.

It was very silent for a moment; a pen could drop and someone would notice the sound. I was scared of what she might say or think about the situation. She had been eavesdropping and could have picked up information regarding Hades and his looks.

But I noticed the look her and nick were giving each other and it finally clicked in my mind that they were mate's.

"Hi." She said shyly waving at nick and she had a small smile on her face. Nick looked flabbergasted and flush as he stuttered out "H-Hi".

No more words were exchanged in the moment until Hades broke the silence with his naturally sour attitude.

"Great, another person whose life is terribly endanger because of her mate's status. This just went from worse to over the top deadly" he groaned out, slashing a hand over his face.

Clover tilted her head in confusion at his comment and she was opening her mouth to say something when Hades interjected like he always did.

"Alright. We need all need to go somewhere where there aren't any spies from any pack's lurking around. I do not need that type of luck right now since I'm already in deep shit. Come on Mercy and you two lovebirds as well, it's some things we need to discuss and get straight so we can go forward, cool? Cool" he announced out.

Hades grabbed my hand and beckoned for his brother and my cousin to follow him.

"Nick, grab her hand, I'm about to use my full speed to get to the location quicker so we won't have any more interruptions from surprise guests" hades said.

Nick hesitatingly grabbed clover's hand and their faces fell flush.

Hades and I simultaneously rolled our eyes at their reaction to each other's touch and moved from there.

Suddenly I felt the wind rush past me at full force, the pressure felt like it would take my head off from how fast we were going. Hades flew past trees and leapt over boulders and twigs and guided me with him. Weirdly enough I felt free. It was an inhuman experience and as the minutes went on I found myself loving the rush and loving the feeling of moving so fast that I was a blur to anything moving normal speed.

Hades halted lightly and all the blood rushed back to my head at once which caused a pretty nasty headache and I groaned from the slight pain.

I looked behind me and sure enough Clover was lurched over and Nick was holding her so she didn't fall.

"I think I'm gonna puke" she commented weakly, her movements in her legs at a stand still.

"You guys are such weaklings" Hades said rolling his eyes before pulling me towards a large boulder that stood in the depths of darkness hidden by some sort of force field. He pulled me in and when I went through it, it felt like static energy surging through my entire being and coating me.

Behind the boulder force field was a house in the middle of the forest that looked like it came straight from a fairy tale. Steppingstones leading up to the house, rosemary bushes outside as a beautiful decor, and the welcome mat in pretty red letters. The house itself looked like a little cottage from a storybook and a dream to fanatics of the fiction.

We walked in and we were hit with a wave of heat that radiated my body and I got the feeling of warmth.

It smelled like wood and flames and surprisingly I was comforted by the smell of those things. It just looked like a normal log cabin with the fire place, the fur rugs, and the unlucky animal heads hanging from the walls as trophies.
