Rosa POV.I stand up and see my ancestor and Selene. They are both watching me, completely saddened by what is happening around them.“Why are you both here?” I ask as I step back, shielding Cece. My poor wolf, I only wish I was a better person to her. She deserved better than me.“We are here to help you. Rosa, you need to stop this. You gravely wounded Zeus. The heavens have fallen. Hell is reigning on earth. The Gate has been unlocked.” I look around and see Selene is telling the truth, but wait.“Zeus is still alive?” I say, balling my fists as I take a step forward. I feel nothing. If he was still alive, the heavens wouldn’t be falling.“Rosa, let me explain. Yes, he is still alive, but is only holding on by a thread. He is weak and needs to get back home. If he doesn’t, then this will be the end of life as you know it. Remember who you are. This is not you!” she says and I step up to her. The fucking Moon Goddess, my ex-aunty. She is a fucking snake.“Good, they can all burn for
Charlie POV.I watch as Rosa falls; I run to her before she hits the ground. I shake her shoulders and kiss her face. Her hair is changing from white to red. No! What have they done?“Rosa, come on baby, open your eyes. Please baby, open your eyes.” I say as I shake her gently, but nothing. I look at Kronos and he looks down at her.“Do something!” I shout at him when he crouches and takes her from me, but I snarl at him and he looks at me with anger on his face.“I’m not going to hurt her. You want my help? Then give her to me,” he says and I hand her over. He stands with her in his arms and she looks so small.He moves her to his face he mumbles something to her before he turns and looks at Rosalie and nods his head once. I’m held back.“Where are you taking her? Kronos, where are you taking her?” I shout again when he keeps walking as I struggle to be set free. I watch as he disappears with her. I scream and thrash.“Where is he taking her?” I shout, looking at Gaia, and she looks
Rosa POV.I wake up with a groan. Looking around the unfamiliar room. I sit up and wince. I chuckle to myself as I look at the cabin walls. Well, this is new.“You’re awake. How do you feel?” I look towards the door and see Kronos standing there with a mug in his hand. He looks like a lumberjack in his jeans and flannel shirt. His hair was in a bun at the back of his neck.“Like shit.” I say honestly, and he smirks as he walks closer to me and hands me the mug. I look at the contents and sigh.“Thank you, Kronos. I won’t ask where I am because I think I know. This is my punishment, isn’t it?” I ask him and he sighs as he sits on the armchair next to the bed.“It’s not a punishment. You need to be kept safe.” I look away as I feel the tears build, but I blink them away as I remember what happened. My chest hurts as I see the lifeless eyes and forms of both Jadara and Cece. The destruction that I caused. This is for the best.“You mean to keep them all safe? I understand. Where is Charl
Rosa POV.“How are you here?” I ask Jadara as she strokes my red hair, and she smiles at me, looking behind her and I see Merrick.“He brought me here. He knew Kronos was bringing you here. Why, did you think I would let you suffer in the fires of hell alone?” she chuckles and I chuckle despite the sobbing.“I wouldn’t have it another way. But Cece …”“Oh, don’t worry about her. She is fine.” I blink at her words, but I look back down. Feeling guilt like never before. I did this.“Hey, don’t even think about it. No more self pity. We are together, and that is what matters.” She reaches for my cheek and I lean into her touch.“Charlie, oh gods, Charlie. I need to get to him.” I say as I take a deep, shaky breath in. He is going to be beside himself and Kronos scoffs, and I turn to look at him.“Don’t even scoff. He is my mate and I need him. There has to be a way to get back?” I say as I look towards Bellious and he looks away. Oh, there is, and he knows it.“Bellious, you know how, do
Charlie POV.It has been four years since Rosa was taken from me. I have refused to speak to any of her so-called family and I have tried to find a way into Hell. But unless I want to die, I can’t find a way in.Shanti has been by my side as we scoured the earth looking for a solution to the problem. I could have gone to Gaia or Fen, but they let her go. So I’m not asking them.Turning the page in yet another ancient book. I start to become frustrated and slam it shut. It falls to the floor and I wince as I pick it up and my eyes widen. I move back to my seat and read the language.“Find anything?” Shanti comes to sit next to me. I nod my head. Because I have done. If what I am reading is correct, I think I may have just found the way in.“Well, what does it say?” she asks me, and I clear my throat as I feel my heart beating fast.“Mount Olympus. There is a portal there. Of course there is, but we need to get to Greece. If there is a portal there, then it may not lead to Hell. It coul
Charlie POV.The alarms blur all around the pack. Wolves looking confused as to why the sirens and Hades are attacking. I chuckle as we all run in formation. Asteria leading us. She runs and leaps over four wolves landing, slamming the trident into the ground, sending the poor sods flying backwards.“Get to the crypt.” She shouts and I nod my head and run in what I think is the direction. Shanti follows me. A hulking wolf runs towards us. Shanti shrieks and launches at him, tackling him to the ground, punching him in the face, effectively knocking his ass out.“Go!” she shouts as I run as she spars with more wolves. I’m tackled to the ground and look into the eyes of Skoll. Oh great.“Why are you attacking the pack, Charlie?” he holds me down and I am no match for him, not without my siren form. Fuck!“Do you still love Rosa?” I ask him and he looks at me strangely. He bites his lip and nods his head, fighting the tears that glisten in his eyes.“Then help me. There is a way to break
Rosa POV.Looking at the portal, with Jadara and Cece standing beside me. There has to be another way. That portal won’t open here. When it dawns on me. This is not the only portal. If Bellious’s insinuation is correct, I am immortal.I smirk as I think back to what has happened since I was brought here. Jadara watches me and I see a shadow of a smirk on her face.“You know what you have to do?” she says and I look at her in confusion, my brows deeply furrowed. Do I?“Close you eyes and listen to what you are being told.” I look at her like she has lost her mind, but I do as instructed and close my eyes. Drowning out all the surrounding noise. Meditating as it were. I hear it, I feel it.The call and hum of the Gate. The Gate is a portal.My eyes snap open and I smile at her and she pouts her arms crossed over her chest. Cece is looking bored as she looks around. She hasn’t changed.“Well, I take it you know now?” Jadara asks and I nod my head as I hug her and she chuckles.“Thank you
Rosa POV.I pull back and smile as tears leave my eyes.“Hey, baby girl. Gods, I have missed you. Four years Rosa, four years I tried everything to get to you,” he tells me and I gasp. Four years. I was in hell for four years. To us, it only felt like days.“I’m here now. I’m so sorry I left you behind. I …” He slams his lips on mine once more and I kiss him back. The kiss is frantic and filled with longing, love, and passion.“Don’t you ever apologise for it. It was not your fault. We need to get out of here. This crypt is going to collapse.” He says as another shock waves hits. The walls begin to crumble around us.“Climb on.” I shove him towards Cerberus, and Charlie climbs up and stops, looking at Merrick.“What are you doing here?” He snarls out, and Merrick rolls his eyes.“He has mated and marked Jadara, so of course he has to be here. Now move your ass.” I say as I climb up and he sits in front of Merrick and I move in front of Charlie.“Baby, we need to get out of here. Can y
