What if you are not the one? What if you are one of many until he finds true love? The one who warms his bed but not the one in his heart or in his head.
All hail King Hades. The Olympians were tired of Hades who grew more cruel with his punishment as the years pass. They believed he needed a queen by his side to neutralize and placate his temper. Him losing Persephone was upsetting the balance of Olympus and The Underworld.
Aurora Quinn or better known as Rory. Street smart, quick wit, and never fails to surprise. A fateful night brought her to hell and into the arms of the one who holds dominion over it. As she bides her time there, she thinks she may be falling in love.
However, everyone knows it's always been Persephone who melts the ice around Hades' heart. Could Rory just be collateral damage?
-------------------
"And Persephone?" I asked, barely a whisper.
He looks down guiltily at his feet, his crown glinting in the moonlight. Finally he looks up to meet my eyes.
"She is the love of my life."

The God & The Shadow
"Jealous?" "Why would I be?" "Because I know your fantasies." He argued. I leaned closer to him, smelling his overwhelming scent. "And I'm appalled at how they are just that. Fantasies." He smiled and leaned closer, piercing through my eyes with the blue of his. I wanted to grab the dagger beneath my pillow and kill him already. "Are you now?" He answered, coming dangerously close to me. He brought his hand up to lift my chin, our noses touching. Gods, help me. I want nothing to do with this man. I really don't. He hates me, and I hate him. Our banter is not just banter; there's always a sense of truth in between, and that's what makes it all the more addicting. - THE GOD is the master of death and darkness. Lore, previously known as Hades, rarely ever visited the mortal realm. As the gods get involved in a war against the rebellious uprising amongst the dark angels, he must work together with a group of immortals, a ruthless and serpentine assassin being one of them. THE SHADOW is a half-breed. Left destitute at seven and made a killer eleven years later, she leaves destruction and death wherever she walks the mortal realm. Forced into a team unit as punishment for her insolent behavior, she must work with the god she grew to admire and learned to hate. Alliances built on lies and hatred are inevitable to fall. Who will win in this game of the gods? (Modern Retelling of the story of Hades & Persephone)Complete
