'Prepare me for what?' I asked myself inwardly.
He veered around to me and after scanning me he nodded, the demon maids squealing like fan girls were about to touch me when I stepped back, extending my arms to keep them at arm's length, I wasn't just going to let two demons maids touch me
"Whatever it is, I'm sure my friend is capable of doing it, that's why I brought her along with me," I said and the demon maids looked at each other in perplexity, not only them but also the elite men were stunned, they anticipated their new queen to be nothing more than an obedient and calm lady, but rather they were seeing her feisty side.
"My lady they should be the ones to do it, seeing as I am new here and don't know the ways of their people, at least give me time to adapt," Miriam whispered, she knew they could hear but it was much better this way.
"Okay then," I replied and the maids gestured for me to follow them. They led me to a dressing room where they helped me get out of my wedding dress and gave me a nice calming bath with scented candles surrounding the bathtub and rose petals in the water.
They took out the pins and jewelry in my hair and let it fall in waves. "You are so beautiful Your Majesty, you have the features of a demon," One of them uttered while stoking my hair.
"Features of a demon?" I asked with creased brows, wondering what they meant.
"Yes, My lady, ordinary humans are not supposed to have silver hair and silver eyes, even your skin is like that of a demon," The other said as she oiled my skin with a fragrance oil and perfumes.
"Do you mean pale like the dead?" I asked and they chuckled.
"You're hilarious, Your Majesty," They giggled, causing me to crease my brows again, I was serious and Hazel's skin was indeed pale like the dead.
They slipped me into a black nightgown and its matching robe, both made of silk, it was beautiful and embedded with gold threads.
After that, they served me tea, "What's this for?" I asked.
"It's a herbal tea, Your Majesty,"
"To help ease the pain,"
"What pa..." I froze upon realizing what they meant, so this was what these bitches were getting me ready for, The freaking wedding consummation.
I took it and drank it, although I wasn't a virgin, I knew Hazel was and I also knew how painful getting deflowered could be, especially with someone as cold as Hades, he might not even care how I felt.
"Give me another," I gave the cup to the maid who handed me the tea for a refill, which she did with a perplexed gaze.
They took me to our private chamber and sat me down on the bed, adjusting my hair and gown. They took one last glance at me, making sure that I was perfect for their hellish demon King.
"We will tell His Majesty you're ready,"
"Yes please, lure me to my death," I rolled my eyes and they glanced at each other in confusion before walking out of the room.
The worst scenario played in my head my heartbeat pounded so hard in my chest as if it was going to burst out of its rib cage. I didn't even have the chance to look at the room and admire it. My legs drummed on the floor restlessly and my fingers fiddled against each other. My palms were sweaty and I waited for what seemed like hours when it was just minutes.
Suddenly the doors opened and Hades stepped in, he had changed into more comfortable clothes, and he walked toward the canopy bed I was sitting on.
"Aren't you tired from the journey?" He asked.
"I am Your Majesty," I replied, my gaze trailing his every movement, why was he asking me that, what did he want to do?
"Hubby,'' He corrected, not realizing how cheesy he sounded at the moment.
"I am, Hades," I said, deciding to call him by his name, since calling him Hubby made me feel weirded out and gross it was too cheesy.
"Then we should go to sleep, I'm tired too," He declared, laying down on the bed too. He looked at the girl in front of him, she looked nervous and timid, he wondered if she was scared for obvious reasons or because she had heard the rumors about him. But he wouldn't blame her, they all feared him, humans, vampires, witches, Wolves. Hell, all the underworld feared him.
At times when enraged, he had scared himself. When he was still a boy he was bullied by his three elder brothers, one day it got so intense that it became unbearable. A cold glare from him disintegrated one of his brothers, leaving nothing but ashes. That wasn't part of the powers or abilities a demon was supposed to have, and with that, he was labeled the cursed demon.
He had a lot of secrets, one that could get anyone he was involved with killed. He had no family, he was rejected the day that the incident happened, and his family feared him. He had to work his way up and build a kingdom with his only friends who became his elite men, now His kingdom was the most powerful in the Underworld no one dared double cross.
He looked at the girl in front of him, she was his family now, he could tell she had endured a lot, and he knew she was rejected by her family for being different, that was one of the main reasons why he chose to marry her.
She had fallen asleep and she looked so stiff, she had placed a pillow between them and laid at the far edge of the bed. A smile escaped his lips, a genuine one for the first time in a while. Even as she was asleep he could still hear her heart beating rapidly.
Was it because of the wedding consummation, was she looking forward to it or was she agitated? Argh, it was becoming rather frustrating that he couldn't read her mind, never had he been this inquisitive in his long life.
He liked her so far, he had anticipated a shy, obedient, and easy-going, but she proved him wrong, she broke past his expectations.
She was bold, fearless, creatively intelligent, and somewhat otherworldly.
He remembered the look on her face when he told her he had mistresses, she looked like the jealous type. 'I guess I like Jealous,' He smiled to himself.
