We turn our heads to see Asher approaching us with another tall man.
The man with red eyes.
“Y-You,” I declare and point at him the moment the two of them come to a stop.
He stares down at my pointed finger before those beautiful red eyes are back on me.
“Hades, you’ve already met my girl?” Asher inquires.
“I’m not yours.” I groan as my shocked expression melts to annoyance.
Asher just chuckles and hugs me from behind, as if we’re not in public.
“That’s not what you were screaming last night,” he hums in my ear.
“Hisssss..”
He moves back in time to avoid Ophira’s bite.
“Well, damn. Golden snake alert,” Asher whines and lets go of me. “Alright. Don’t want to be turned to stone, thanks.”
“She’s not Medusa stupid,” Hades comments. His voice has us all looking at him because it’s deep as fuck.
“You sound like the god of the underworld himself,” Blair says in horror. “I mean, it’s probably hot, but I’d have to second guess whether you’re about to kill me every second you speak.”
He rolls his eyes, his scowl reminding me of Professor North’s constant look of annoyance.
“That’s why I don’t bother,” he mutters, looking my way. “Guinevere?”
“Yup.” I’m not surprised he knows my family name. “Obvious?”
“A little.” He shrugs and points to Asher. “He’s madly in love with you.”
“Awww,” Blair puts her hands together. “That’s when you know it’s legit. He talks to his best friend about you.”
“I never said we were best friends,” Asher groans but is looking at Azrael. “Bro, what the fuck happened to you? You look like you went through a time portal, gone through seven magical wars, and came back a survivor,” he sums up and reaches out to take a few locks of Azrael’s hair in his grasp. “Though I think if you’re trying to go for that Lord of the Rings look, white hair looks better than grey. You look like an old man with a youthful face.”
“Asher.” I give him a ‘shut up now’ look.
“Shutting up,” he declares and returns to Hades, who stares down at him.
“You become a golden retriever around her.”
“I’ve always been like this,” he counters.
Hades rolls his eyes again, then briefly looks at Azrael.
“Your bro actually betrayed you.”
Azrael just frowns.
“Why do you make it sound as though you already knew that before coming here?” Blair ponders in intrigue.
“People love to talk a lot around here,” he admits and looks at Blair. “They’re calling you provocative names, yeah?”
“Ah…” Blair tries to smile it off, but it’s obviously bothering her.
“Don’t let it bother you.” He speaks with such reserve, then he looks at me.
