Fated To Roman: The Almighty Alpha -
Eleven
Cleo's POV
"I'm sorry what!" I shook my head as I spoke. She couldn't be right. She just couldn't be. Hades was the name everyone in the supernatural world knew of, but not one person had seen him in years. Or so the rumours say. He was the man people would mention when they told a scary story, the kind parents would use to keep their kids from getting up and sneaking out at night.
"You're not deaf, are you?" The condescending tone she used had me wanting to knock her out. Who the fuck was this bitch? She didn't know me so for her to speak to me that way was bang out of order.
"Kaylee!" Roman's brother grabbed the woman's wrist as she stalked closer to me. "You don't know what you're talking about so shut up and leave her alone"
"What is she to you?" Kaylee looked between her mate and Roman. Her eyes widening as she pieced the bits together. "She's your mate isn't she? The wolf you've spent ages trying to bloody replace, and now you're going to lose her all over again" Roman growled as he launched towards Kaylee at her not so subtle threat.
"I said enough." Kai's roar wasn't a fraction of the strength that Roman's was. His speed however was something else. He got between Kaylee and Roman before Roman had a chance to hurt her.
"To hell I will. She has his eyes, his face, she even smells like him. I'm telling you Kai that's Hades daughter and if anyone replaces out she's here your entire pack will be hunted. You don't have a clue what would happen should her father replace out she exists!" Kai pushed his brother back as everyone in the room stared silently at me. When Roman bought me here, I didn't know what to expect, but this certainly wasn't it.
Sparks flew up my arm as Roman took my hand and rushed us out of the room and away from prying eyes. I fell over my own feet as I struggled to keep up with him. Who the hell lit a fire under his ass? I'm the target, not him. Letting go of my hand Roman turned to face me, a pissed off look on his face as his brows furrowed together. Bending down he picked me up carrying me to wherever he was taking me. "Excuse me I have legs. I can walk❞
"We need to talk, and you keep tripping over"
"Because you're dragging me. Put me down Roman NOW" I screamed in protest as he just ignored me and continued to carry me up another three flights of stairs. Stopping outside of a white door he placed me on my feet before taking a key from his pocket. Once the door was open, he pushed me inside where I fell yet again. "Thanks for that"
"You're welcome"
"Prick" Roman just chuckled as he threw the key onto the dresser. Walking to the bed he sat on the edge and kicked off his shoes. I stood against the dresser looking around and praying to the goddess that he wouldn't make me stay in here with him. The bedroom was huge, far larger than any of the hotels me and my sister had stayed in. In the centre of the far wall sat a king size four postered bed with white bedding. A bar sat opposite with white leather stools. "Cleo please come sit down" I shook my head and crossed my arms over my chest. Roman raised an eyebrow whilst he chewed his bottom lip. Catching where his gaze sat, I realised the low cut top he had leant me gave a good view to my currently raised breasts. "Look we need to have a serious chat and by the time we're done your legs will hurt. Stop being a stubborn child and come sit down." Unfolding my arms and sighing dramatically I walked towards the bed and sat beside Roman. My mind kept replaying what Kaylee had said downstairs and before I knew it, I was asking my question out loud.
"Is she right?" Roman sighed and rubbed his face as if preparing his response.
"Unlike us, demons can smell their kind. When we mate or have children that scent lingers, however only we can sense that. I don't know quite how it works, but if she has been in his presence and you share his scent then it's highly likely." "English please. My head hurts so maybe you could dumb it down a bit"
"I've got a feeling she's right. The witch said you were different and seemed extremely intrigued by you. With that and what Kaylee has said I'd say there's a great chance you are the daughter of the king of the underworld" a knot formed in my stomach; waves of nausea suddenly rushed over me. Getting to my feet I ran through the door beside the bed hoping it was a bathroom. Thank the goddess it was. My stomach retched bringing up everything I'd eaten at the hospital. Roman came up behind me his large hand rubbing circles on my back, the tingles his contact left soothing me sending the nausea away. "Cleo, no one has to know. Kai can tell Kaylee to keep what she knows to herself. Then when or if you're ready we can replace out more. Just please don't stress over this" Don't stress over this? Is he for real right now? I've just found out there is a high possibility that I may be half demon and he wants me to not stress.

As I straightened my back Roman flushed the toilet before passing me a new toothbrush. When he left, I cleaned my teeth and tried to think back to what I saw in the hospital as I slept. It had to have been a premonition of some kind, it was the only way to explain it. My mum said it was dangerous, that he couldn't replace me. What I needed to know was why. Why couldn't he replace me and what would happen if he did? Hades POV
Sixteen years I had been trapped down here. My own mate having betrayed me. She knew who was, what I was capable of and still she chose to stab me in the back. I could have given her everything she ever desired. She could have been queen to an entire species, but no instead she sacrificed herself to prevent me ever reaching topside again. That day had played vividly in the back of my mind on an endless loop. Nearly a year she disappeared for, hiding herself from me and my magic before she finally resurfaced. Only she smelt different, yet at the time I couldn't place my finger on it. My anger controlled my senses that day.
"I will replace her. I will replace her... AHHH" my day had been spent skinning one of my demons. When my mate cursed me to remain here little did she know she also cursed my kind. I thought all was lost until rumours of a few having had escaped just in the nick of time. Over the years I had hunted demons in order to replace someone of relevance. This one here, his sister was topside, and he would contact her or spend an eternity suffering at my hands.
"Prove it." Dragging my long sharp nail down the side of his face peeling back another bit of skin his screams were like music to my ears. This was how I got my title as King. Become strong enough with a reputation that strikes fear into someone's heart with the mere mention of your name. Not a soul would challenge me. The previous king bowed before me, now nothing more than a slave. After I ripped his mates throat from her neck, he was quick to step down. He thought he was protecting his heir, but I ended him after my crowning.
"She's up there I swear it. She will help you"
"She'd better. Remember if she doesn't you are as good as dead" Punching him in the gut I turned to leave. With a click of my fingers his chains fell to the floor. "You have two hours" "But... please I need more time"
"You dare ask me for anything" within seconds I had shimmered in front of him.

My hands wrapped around his throat as I held his bloody skinned body in the air.
"I...I'm sorry" the way his voice trembled had my heart warming.
"Two hours" as he nodded his head, I threw him at the wall. He knew better then to cross me. Had he been able to get topside he could have hidden from me; however, every other demon was stuck here with me.

Five minutes. That's all he had left as he entered my thrown room. The smirk on his face told me not only had he successfully contacted his sister, but that he had good news to share. "Sir..."
"Spit it out" I grew impatient with this moron by the second.
"She exists" those words stopped me in my tracks. I had my suspicions when my mate disappeared not a trace of her to be found. My scent was on her as she bore my mark only that time it was more potent. She had given me an heir, a child that couldn't have been more than a few months old. There was no denying it even though she tried. But now I know my child's out there I would use her to get free.
"Can your sister get to her?" I needed her to be safe until the time was right. That's when I would slit her throat and use her blood to set me free.
"Yes and no. She's being protected by descendants of the Moon Goddess" My day was just getting better. It had been Selene that gave my mate what she needed to keep me here, and for that I would put an end to her entire bloodline.
