"Well unlike your families completely regular activities of talking about impossible history and creepy curses, some of us like to go bowling on the weekend."
The gods are more insane than we think. How do I know all this? A giant snake killed my grandmother, my family is made up of gods and I might have fallen in love with the darkest god of them all after he took me to help control whatever powers I might get.
The cover was done by one of my friends, Ellyn, she's a fabulous artist.

One Bite ✔️ (#Wattys2017)
<Under Major Editing> One night, Hannah (Demeter) lay with the god Morpheus and when the time came, she gave birth to their daughter, Hermione (Persephone), the goddess of springtime. Draco (Hades) has been sitting in his throne room in the Underworld judging the dead and being judged by his family. One day, he had had enough and so decides to steal the one thing that everyone loved... Hermione. Do they fall in love? And if so, will war's mighty strength try to rip them apart? *Excerpt* "The irony to all of this was that neither of them was supposed to be this animalistic and passionate and yet here they are; howling at the moon, dancing around the bonfires, and making love under the stars. She was the goddess of spring time, gentle and kind, and he was the god of the underworld, silent and peaceful. Together, though, they were the king and queen of the underworld, a beautiful exodus with a beautiful beginning." Rated Mature for: language, sexual activity, violence, and a rape scene (Not Draco and Hermione). Now on Fanfiction.net and ArchiveOfOurOwnComplete
