She led them through another door , and as her elegant hand gripped the handle , she looked at the stoic vampire.

"Get ready."

He nodded.

Octavia unbolted the door and a blast of music ripped through the empty room. The tech music raging around , Dougmous could feel his heart rate spiking up. The kauic was messing with his heartbeats.

Octavia led him in.

Elias stepped inside the . .club?

Octavia had shut the door and she was marvelling at the crowd going wild with the DJ. Crossing her arms over her breasts , she knew the vampire wouldn't stand a chance against the pull of music and the scantily clad woman roaming around.

Looking for a soul to eat with a seductive smile.

Octavia swiped her hair back and started to walk , gesturing them to follow her.

Dougmous couldn't seem to look away from the swya of her hips , the silk looked like a second skin , outlining the shape of her heart shaped ass.

Elias looked around , seeing different creatures mixing on the dance floor. Elf , witches , dwarfs , hehe drunk and high on the wine , the food being passed around. He knew what exactly they contained , a mixture of spices and magical drugs that made men want one thing ; women.

And the said species were abudnlt available all around , Elias had to look away when a couple had turned dry humping into a full blown sexual getaway ; others hooted at them , egging them on. A witch and a nklk.

His heart had a flashback of her beautiful eyes , filled with so much love for him , the sudden want to be with her so strong , he wanted to run to her and take her in his arms—

They little group halted when a blonde woman suddenly stopped Octavia , her cat eyes lingering on Elias and Dougmous.

"Did you catch them?" She asked with a sly grin.

"Sort of." Octavia smiled.

"You'll share right?" The woman asked , not getting enough of the two men.

"Ofcourse , now if you'll excuse us. .," Octavia stepped away from her and they continued their journey.

Octavia had passed the dance floor , the DJ and . .they slipped in a corridor , the light a neon pink , the click clack of her heels was the only sound in the deathly silent corridor.

Doors were limed against each other like a hotel.

They passed by a few of them and then she stopped in front of a door , turning around at the two , she smiled , revealing her sharp teeth.

"He's inside." She placed her hand on her hip.

Elias nodded grimly.

Dougmous could feel his heart raising to his throat , it wasn't just any day. They were going to meet Hades! He had heard his tales from as far as he could remember.

Elias had already moved and Dougmous shook his head , following him.

Octavia had pushed the plain brown door open for them.

Offering them to the devil , Dougmous thought.

Elias was the first one to slip in . .and the interior didn't surprise him a bit.

A humgonous office , the room vast enough to hold a wedding , but the luxury didn't interest him , what catch his attention was the man seated standing near the huge floor to ceiling glass windows , French windows , his back to them. .he was staring out at the dark night . .the moonlight filtered softly inside.

Indeed he had white hair , atleast the back of his head was.

Elias had begun to address his thoughts when—

"Vampire." The rich voice slashed the air. "What makes you think I'll give what you seek."

"If I were seeking , I would go to Zeus."

Slowly, the man turned around and Elias could see trickster had done an excellent job copying the young dark lord. Silk shirt with the first few button opened up , reveling his strong chest , a sharp nose and eyes. . glowing plae blue eyes . .

"Such courage can only be owned by a careless lover. You are possessed by the madness that has no cure." Hades asked in an empty voice.

Dougmous felt the sweep of his eyes on him , he dripped his gaze , not able to look in those cold mirthless eyes.

"I need to talk to Edmund. " Elias copied his disinterested tone.

Hades cocked his head to a side , "Funny , of all the people and you ask for a spineless man."

Elias couldn't stop the surprise coloring his face ,"I —,"

Hades chuckled softly. "He speaks of you to the point it's. . . appalling. Octavia? Dear , it looks like you didn't entertain them." He raised a dark eyebrow.

Elias didn't know she had been standing behind.

She quickly scrambled forward , and , when she spoke . .it melted with respect.

"I tried but he didn't want it, my Lord." She professed.

Hades raised his hand , gesturing her to come. And she did. .

Elias and Dougmous watched them warily.

She greeted him with a kiss on his cold lips and gently he turned her around at them , his chin testing on her delicate shoulder and his hand splayed on her waist.

She seemed to be glowering under his attention.

"Don't you find her alluring?" He asked Elias in a silky wonder.

Elias didn't answer , knowing well his answer could cost her life.

"I don't wish to answer." Elias clipped.

"Do you hear that , Octavia? The vampire is being hard to win over . .maybe I should give him a glimpse of . . .this." His other hand worked on the strap of her dress , slipping it off her dainty shoulder , revealing the top of her breast.

Elias kept his eyes on his face.

"I'm sorry but I can't take up the offer. I'm . .committed."

Hades smirked , slipping her strap back on.

Dougmous could see the disappointment in Octavia's eyes , her full lips smashed into a hard line as if Elias just cheated on her.

"No wonder you don't reek of desire." Hades said in a lazy manner and then kissing the side of her head he said , "Off you go , my love."

She nodded and giving an angry scathing look to Elias , she stomred off.

Shutting the door with a loud bang.

"Ah! Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

Dougmous tried to hide his smirk.

The lord of the underworld crossed his arms over his hard chest , eyeing the fearless vampire with hidden scrutiny.

"I knoq of your story. It's as good as Dabtes dream , as pathatic as Dabtes dream. "

"You know nothing of it." Elias bit down on every word.

The young lord laughed , a cold merciless laugh.

"You have this illusion of people not knowing your story. Then allow me to shatter your dream , oh mighty vampire. Everyone knows about it. How the vampire fell for the human. .such a shame. "
