Chapter Five
"You've made the right choice." Apollo reassured his would be wife. Her dark hair was half down and half up. She wore this beautiful white top that had open sheer sleeve with a low neck line. Her skirt fit every curve and a slit on each side that went to her upper thigh.
"I know I did or else I'd still be wondering if I could honestly live out a mortal life loving you, but to afraid to be with you." she said softly
"I assume you want Hercules and your other two mortal friends to be there." he said in a matter- of- fact tone of voice. She only nodded her agreement." Then so be it. You know of course that Zeus, Hera, and the rest of the gods and goddess will be there as well right?" he asked knowing her dislike for the gods and goddess.
"Yeah I'll learn to tolerate them after all I'm spending eternity with them and I have your word that no harm will come to any of my friends or their familiar right?" she asked softly
"I give you my word of honor." he said" I swear it on all the powers I have that no harm will come to you friends or any of their family." he said as he gently touched her cheek.
"I do love you Apollo." she whispered softly
"I know you do." he said as he kissed her forehead" Now, go get your mortal friends and Hercules so that I can go make sure the gods and goddess will not harm you before our wedding." he said
"Nah they'll wait until afterwards." she teased as he sent her to her friends.
"Well done, Apollo." Ares congratulated him as he appeared in his temple.
"Ares what do you want now?" he asked
"Oh I don't want anything I'm just congratulating you on finally getting LaShrina to agree to marry you." he said
"Yeah well, she loves me she'd do anything for me once she finally gets over her fear." he said
"Oh Apollo you really don't think I'm dumb do you?" Ares asked, but didn't let Apollo finish" We all know that you're only marrying her because the fates have shown you her future. Believe me the last thing I want is for her to marry my little brother. She would be wasted on him because she needs a god like you to keep her in line." he said
"Ares she saw Hercules' future, but never the woman's face she believes that she's not destined to marry him. She chose me of her own free will." he said
"She chose you because she thought Hercules didn't love her, but once she tells him she's marrying you he'll confess his love for her unless he thinks she doesn't love him." Ares said
"If he thinks she doesn't love him then he'll let her go without a fight." Apollo said
"Exactly. Just one thing." Ares said
"What?" Apollo asked
"You're not really in love with her are you?" Ares asked
"Have you lost what little mind you have?" Apollo asked" She's mortal she's just a means to an end." he said
"That's what I thought" Ares said as he vanished
"But I do love her." he whispered softly
