Dante's Love (18+)

The Reunion

"Apollo."

Dante's distaste rang clear in the air.

"What? You don't miss me?" His voice was enchanting and melodic, almost like he is luring me in.

"You shot my dog." Dante growled.

"Ah. I was just practicing. Anyways he is practically invincible."

His bright green eyes almost hidden by his curly and untamed golden hair, focused on me.

"Persefóni."

I gulped nervously. Dante shoved me behind his towering frame, protecting me from the god's sight.

"Calm down Uncle. She already chose you over me from the beginning of time."

Grumbling, Dante let me stepped from behind him. I clutched Dante hand before stepping forward. Dante looked at me in surprise and approval.

With the other, I held out my hand for Apollo to shake. He grasped my hand with both of his before giving mine a slight kiss.

With a roar, Dante yanked me back and clenched Apollo's neck in his massive hands. Apollo looked comically small as Dante held him up like a rag doll. Everyone in the room froze and it was so deafeningly quiet.

"Would you like me to relieve you of your powers?" Dante growled, shooting a scathing look on the trembling figure.

He was no match for an older and much more powerful Olympian.

Apollo quickly shook his head and Dante let him crumble into a heaping mess on the floor.

"What a show." A voice as smooth as velvet rang out.

Dante's furious obsidian orbs locked onto a young girl with auburn hair and toffee coloured skin.

"May I?" She gestured to me.

However, her gaze settled on Dante, seeking permission. Almost a minute goes by before Dante nodded grumpily. She immediately clasp both my hands in hers.

"I'm Artemis. It's a pleasure to meet you Persephone." She bowed slightly.

"It's great to meet you too." I cleared my throat nervously.

"Let us sit together during dinner, shall we?" She grinned excitedly.

I glanced up at Dante to see a slight nod of his head.

"Sure." I smile at the girl.

She let out an excited squeal and let go of my hands. And just in time. Dante reached out for me and secured me back into his side.

"Brother." Another voice rang out. This one was deep and thundering.

"Poseidon."

"How have you been? I see you found your wife." His blue steely gaze set upon me.

He looks almost too bored to be here. His demeanour was relaxed. However those eyes were alert and poised, analysing everything set in front of him.

"We are happy and to be wed in the human world." Dante pride shone through.

Poseidon nodded before peering down at me. His eyes gazed down to my diamond collar. He was very tall compared to me. I recalled the story of him and Medusa and involuntarily shuddered. I shifted uncomfortably under his unwavering gaze.

"Stop it Brother, you're scaring her." Dante growled.

Poseidon chuckled.

"You want to know if its true. Medusa and I." He ignored Dante's warning.
