Rayne's POV

"How is it possible that this demiclod could defeat mwah?!" Hades asked rhetorically. My husband and I were watching Hercules train with Phil. I sat in Hades' lap and my mate had one arm wrapped possessively around my waist while his free hand held the remote.

Flames shot out of it as Hades turned off the what we used as a television. Pain and Panic had been eating popcorn and they looked to Hades in annoyance.

"Hey! We were watching that!" they whined.

"Pardon me?" Hades asked turning to them.

Immediately the two imps apologized.

A month and half went by since Hades and I tied the knot and I liked being the Queen of the Dead. Whenever Hades was out of the Underworld I would assist Pain and Panic with managing our domain. I also enjoyed being Hades' wife, when I was at school however I made sure my rings were around my neck on a silver chain.

My relationship with Alduin only became stronger since he found out about me and Hades. Today I wore a black dress with skull pins at the dress straps showing my position as Queen of the Underworld. Around my waist I wore a dark blue sash and I started wearing my gold wrist cuffs. I also wore a golden circlet with a ruby in the center. Today my hair was in its usual braid.

"What is the deal? I mean the kid can't even ties his own sandals" Pain stated.

"Hence I wear boots boys" I joked. I wasn't wearing boots today but black flats with skulls embroidered on them. The imps gave me them as a wedding gift.

"And the goat man talks him through it" Panic added.

"The goat man?" Hades muttered.

"I see you have another scheme planned" I teased my husband.

"Yep I sure do babe" Hades replied back. "Philoctetes, trainer of heroes, he's showing Hercules the ropes, he's teaching him the tricks of the trade and filling his head with all those hero rules"

"You're making some big leaps here" Panic pointed out.

"And we're just not keeping up" Pain added.

"I'll make it easier to understand guys" I told Pain and Panic getting to my feet. "If we promote Phil to the big leagues, he'll dump Hercules"

"I don't know that old goat is very sentimental" Panic said.

"Heh yes he is" Hades agreed suddenly appearing behind me.

"I wish you would warn me whenever you do that" I scolded my husband.

"Sweetheart I'm sure the mate bond would tell ya" Hades answered.

I rolled my eyes and Hades chuckled before kissing my forehead. Pain and Panic muttered.

"Aw"

And this resulted in Hades using his flames to fry them and a second later my husband got a lecture from yours truly.

Arcadia

I held a laugh behind my hand as Pain and Panic disguised as two good looking women pretend to swoon over a now transformed Achilles. Hades clapped his hands.

"Wow just like the old days huh Achilles?"

Pain and Panic resumed to their imp forms and Achilles returned to his former self.

"Who are you?" Achilles asked as Hades approached him.

"Hades, Lord of the Dead, how ya doing?" Hades introduced himself.

"Is it my time?" Achilles asked.

"Nah you got lots of time, six years" Hades replied and he put his arm around Achilles. "I'm actually here because I'm a huge, huge fan"

"Of me?"

"No of the two headed pig you yutz, of course you! You're a living legend! You were huge!"

Hades then went orange to prove his point before his skin returned to normal.

"You're still pretty huge different context mind you" Hades patted Achilles on his beer gut before continuing on. "Anyway look, Achilles babe, you could have gone all the way, what happened? You got benched, by that tender heel of yours"

Hades tapped the brick under Achilles's sandal.

"Hey everybody's got a weak spot" Achilles said sadly. "And what happened, happened, okay? You can't change the past"

"Too true" Hades agreed. "Too true, but what about the future? You're future? What if you could have it all over again?"

Using his powers my husband turned Achilles back into his younger self.

"And this time for keeps?"

"But what about my problem?" Achilles asked pointing at his heel.

"What problem?" Hades asked rhetorically before transforming Achilles's foot. My mate then got closer to the former hero. "I'm here for you, I do need one itsy teensy tiny little insignificant favor"

"Name it!"

"That's my boy" Hades replied with a grin.

Later

Underworld

"So what are you exactly if you don't mind me asking?" I asked Memnon while sipping my iced coffee. I liked iced coffee as much as I did with hot coffee it just depended on my mood.

"Meh I'm not really sure I think a little bit of dragon since I breathe fire" Memnon answered.

"Here you go Mr. Memnon!" Pain yelled as he flew over to him with a cup of coffee.

"Thanks junior" Memnon told Pain and took a sip of his coffee and some of it spilled onto Pain. "Mmm that is some good joe"

"Can't live without it" I agreed with him and we clanged our cups together and took another sip of the wonderful stimulant.

"Mr. Memnon! You're on in fifteen seconds!" Panic yelled and he wasn't watching where he was going and crashed into Memnon's foot. Coffee spilled onto Panic and he whined. Memnon placed his coffee down before asking.

"Uh what's my motivation?"

Hades then appeared in front of him and his flames were orange.

"My face in your face!" my husband answered pointing a finger into Memnon's chest. "Now get up there, go a few rounds with the Big A, and take a fall"

Panic then started the countdown and Memnon smirked before taking his leave. Pain and Panic did too so they could assist him.

"He wasn't hitting on you was he?" Hades asked looking to me.

"Nope, I'm pretty sure by now a lot of monsters know who I'm married too, Hothead" I reassured my husband.

Hades smirked before coming over to me.

"You're mine babe"

I returned the smirk and placed my coffee down. Grabbing his chiton I pulled Hades downward and kissed him. As this happened Hades' flames rose in excitement. In fact they turned orange and my inner beasts were pleased.

After the kiss Hades turned on the floating television screen and we watched as Memnon wreck havoc amongst Athens. The whole thing was amusing to watch and I ended up laughing my ass off. Pain and Panic returned at the same time Memnon did.

"I give you Memnon! Master Monster!" Hades cheered.

"Super job!" Pain added flying up to Memnon's head. "You're the best!"

Memnon blushed before looking to me and Hades.

"You're too kind, thanks for the gig, let's do lunch"

"See ya" I told Memnon as he walked past us.

"Looks like your plan might work boss!" Pain said.

"I hope it does" Hades agreed. "If not I'll have other schemes"

"Of that no doubt" I added. "But then again you're always scheming"

"Correction babe" Hades replied.

A Few Days Later.

Thanks to Achilles, then former hero was back in action much to Herc's dismay. Achilles was gaining fame and glory like nobody's business and Phi was enjoying it. Hades was happy as hell too. At the moment I was sitting in my throne which was given to me by Hades and it was the color, size, and design like his. The only difference was the phoenix and dragon carvings. Selene sat beside my throne and was fast asleep. She was slightly bigger than she was a month ago. According to Hades she would get bigger but would still be smaller than Cerberus. The three headed dog was starting to enter his adolescent stage but still had his puppy side much to Hades' annoyance.

I was reading an e-book on my I-Phone when I heard Hades growl from next to me. He was watching Hercules on the television. Phil and Hercules just made up.

"Oh you bet you can't do it without him you little yutz" Hades grumbled. "Oi nice work Achilles"

My husband's hair was orange. He then snapped his fingers and Achilles appeared before us.

"Ya know I think you might want to take a look at a little something I whipped up" Hades wrapped his arm around Achilles while pointing to the television screen. "Tartarus vision or TV for short"

On the screen showed Phil and Hercules together about to do another training exercise.

"Crap" Achilles said nervously. "Looks like Phil and the kid are back together"

"Yeah and your back to opening of the two headed pig!" Hades replied before going all orange. Achilles backed away and got to his knees before my mate and asked for another chance. Hades used the remote to change Achilles to his older self.

"WAIT!" Achilles called out but thanks to a flame geyser the former hero was gone.

"Alright so the heel flamed out, the basic idea is still good, what to do about that?"

"How about an old friend?" I suggested and Hades turned to see Memnon beside me.

"Need me to take care of something?" Memnon asked.

"Great work babe!" Hades exclaimed. He kissed my forehead before looking to Memnon. "There's the kid and the satyr, I need to see at minimal mind you one of them dead"

"Anything you say! Which one you prefer?"

"Hey monsters choice surprise me" Hades replied conjuring a flame image of Herc and Phil, before extinguishing them by closing his hand. Memnon grinned before leaving and Hades picked me up and transported us into his throne and with one arm wrapped around my waist we watched the TV.

It wasn't long until Memnon appeared and he hissed his flames at Hercules. The Hero-In-Training used a shield to block them. Hercules dodged a punch and he had to continue using the shield to block Memnon's flames. When Hercules threw the shield at Memnon's head the poor monster cried out in a slightly girly voice which made me to chuckle. Recovering Memnon hissed more of his flames at Hercules which he dodged by ducking.

Hades cheered liking at what he was seeing. When Hercules got smacked by Memnon, my husband then took Pain's popcorn. Things were getting good until Memnon blurted out Hades' scheme.

"Why do they do that? They gotta spill every detail of the scheme?"

"It happens love" I pointed out the obvious.

"Yeah I know and it stinks" Hades growled.

"Ah now this is amusing" Selene told us coming to sit next to the imps. "I see Memnon is trying to achieve something"

"And failing, but I'm glad you find it amusing" Hades told the she-wolf and he petted her head.

Things got serious after it was revealed Achilles had been working for Hades. That didn't please Phil but he didn't give a damn about that at the moment. Memnon was knocked over but he recovered by punching Hercules hard enough that he crashed into a stone.

Sensing he was about to go orange I hurriedly stood up just as my husband exclaimed turning orange all over including his flames.

"OH YES! YOU THE MAN! YOU THE MAN! OH! GO FOR THE KILL!"

Phil was trying to get Herc to wake up and Memnon decided he would kill both Hercules and Phil before cackling. Then Achilles appeared behind him. After a taunt Achilles gave Memnon a punch in the mouth. It wasn't long until Achilles and Memnon were fighting and Hades was having the time of his life watching it unfold.

When Memnon held Achilles by the scruff he used his beer gut to smack said monster in the head. Memnon shook his head before eventually gettin dizzy and he passed out. Achilles got caught by Herc after Memnon let him go.

"I hate this!" Hades snapped turning the TV off. Selene hurried over to me and hid behind my legs. I reassured her by stroking her head.

"This is just too much! I wanna rip that! I gotta just blast something!"

Hades went all fiery and proceeded to call Pain and Panic. Realizing they were in trouble the imps began to run around and they ended up getting fried.

Later.

Throne Room

"Are you calm now?" I asked my husband with my hands at my waist.

"Pretty much babe" Hades answered.

"Sometimes I wish you wouldn't fry the imps" I scolded. "You need to find something else to unleash you're anger on"

At the mention of that Hades suddenly smirked and he sent a suggestion through the mate bond.

"Quit being a perverted god" I growled.

"Oh am I perverted babe?" Hades' smirk then widened and he conjured my I-Phone. "I see you've been reading some smut"

Turning red I high tailed it over to where Hades was and I snagged my phone from his grasp and quickly turned the it off.

"I maybe married to you love, but I still like my smut thank you"

Hades chuckled darkly before he came over to me. Suddenly he picked me up and the next thing I knew we were outside of the Underworld. Before us was a good sized lake.

"I thought you and water don't mix?"

"Babe I'm a god" Hades replied before we were suddenly in the water. Our clothes were on top of a rock on the shore and the water shielded the whole front of my body from view. I felt Hades had some clothes around the lower part of his body while the rest of him was visible. I on the other hand was completely bare.

Hades then turned me around and his muscular arms wrapped themselves around my waist. My rings and Hades' wedding band were safely in the Underworld thanks to the image Hades sent me through our mating bond. Hades then began to plant kisses starting at my throat and continued down my back. Next his tongue traced a pattern upwards back to my shoulders and he turned me around seizing my lips into his.

I felt my face turn red at the way my husband was kissing me and through the mate bond I showed it. Eventually Hades and I took a break from the kiss so we could catch a breather.

"You're so beautiful babe" Hades purred and he kissed his way downwards. I actually jumped when his tongue licked the tops of my breasts. "And you're all mine"

My only response was a growl and it was a satisfied one. I then felt my fangs elongate and I soon buried them hard into Hades shoulder blade. Hades shivered like I did earlier and I swallowed his blood before removing my fangs. The bite healed and I proceeded to plant my own love bites up to where my mating mark was on my husband.

A few minutes later Hades had many bites all over neck area and claw marks on his back and arms.

"You need to trim your claws babe their getting sharp" Hades said holding up my hand and he examined my claws.

"You're right did I hurt you?" I asked worriedly.

"They'll heal in a bit" he reassured me. "Though I'm not sure about the bites on your neck"

"You shouldn't have bitten me took hard husband"

"Others need to know you belong to me wife" Hades teased. "Or do you prefer my queen?"

"Both will suffice Hothead" I answered. "But to be honest I like being called babe"

"You used to not like that" Hades joked.

"That was before we became a couple and now I actually like it when you call me babe"

"It sounds sexy with you anyway" Hades confessed. "And you are sexy"

"As you are funny Hothead" I then pressed several kissed onto his face. We remained in the water for a bit before we came out and dried ourselves off and returned to the Underworld. We spent the rest of the evening watching sitcoms on the TV.

I actually drink iced coffee XD.
