Alpha's cursed mate novel Chapter 8

Underworld

Hades' Realm

Persephone's POV

Hades had invited me for dinner. The black rose attached with the message made my heart hurt...I cannot give it in....cannot fall for his charms.

Standing in a simple silver gown in front of the mirror I shivered when I saw his presence behind me.

His fragrance made me inhale deeply. It was a combination of lemon and mint. so raw...so rugged....so masculine. Unadulterated appeal of power and sex oozing out..it was regal...it was him.

"Exquisite..you are surreal goddess." Hades whispered taking in my form, tracing it from head to toe, he met my eyes as my lips parted when I looked at that heated stare."

His warm chest pressed into my back. "That fearlessness little rose, that determination I see in your eyes....that's dangerous and .....inviting."

Turning me around he extended his hand for me to take. I placed my small palm in his larger once....mine soft his rough but smooth.

He eyes scanned me intensely. I watched my hands and he watched me like a hawk.

Gently pulling me out of the room, his hand snaked around my waist, I was going to complain but my jaw dropped as my eyes took in the beauty of the architecture.

Creamy while pillars with dark green and gold patterns matching with white walls.

Wild white lilies with black rose covering the handrails of the glass stairs. His hands tightened around my body in a protective embrace as I stumbled but I couldn't care less....this was like a dream come true.

I always loved white lilies...my favourite flower but last night when he gave me the rose...I was too afraid to say that I started living them more.

--------------

Food was delicious and so were his eyes staring right into mine. But mine went sad when I realized out truth- we both were forbidden....so very forbidden.

Now when the realisation hite hard as bricks my heart went into turmoil.

"Hades last night I saw a dream and you were there."

His orbs stared right into my soul.

"I am honored that you dream about me Persephone." His tone was low...deep and somewhat knowing.

"It's not that."I whispered.
