He narrows his eyes, his aura intensifying again. Fuck, it’s getting harder to breathe.
“Very well, I guess I can return her voice, since she did trick me.”He doesn’t sound too offended.“But in return, are you willing to give up your voice?”
I look at him. “My sexy voice? I mean, you want to take something that will make the majority of people around me happy?” I smirk. “Hey, go for it, I can still mind-link my brothers and annoy the fuck out of them. That’ll do.”
“She can converse with magic. You won’t be able to. And the day may come when you must leave your pack, then you will be a mute.”
“Don’t sweat it, bro, these days we have mobiles. I’m a pretty fast texter, init.”
“Once again, I am beginning to doubt my choice,”Hades mutters.
I know it’ll be weird, but she’s the one who has a life ahead; my future is one of solitude. I’ll be fine without my voice. “Well, save the doubt for later,” I say quietly, his aura like a suffocating blanket. “Give her voice back and take mine.”
He stares at me for a very long moment, and I’m unable to look away. “Well, don’t stare too hard, I might blush,” I mock.
He simply frowns.“Very well, I will return her voice.”
“And when that happens, I’ll lose mine? Might be pushing it, but can I choose when?” I ask, not wanting to be around to answer that question.
“Yes, you may choose when, since you will be the one returning her voice to her.”
I cock a brow. “What exactly does that mean?” I narrowmy eyes.
It’s his turn to smile, although it looks more sinister, unlike my sexy one. “You will kiss her.”
I freeze, my head snapping up to him. “What? No,” I say, my heart racing.
He’s fucking with me.
“And when you do, her voice shall be returned. Do it when you wish. Today, tomorrow, in a decade. I do not care. It is now yours.”I feel his power wrap around me and then feel a cool sensation wash over me, making me shiver for a second.
“That’s fucked.” I frown.
“I need some form of entertainment, considering all the favours I do. Be grateful I am not truly taking your voice.”
I raise an eyebrow.
“You said-”
“It was a test, simply to see what you would give up for her. Now, what else did you want?”he asks.
I nod, I’m fucking relieved that I get to keep my voice, but the way he wants me to return her voice, now that’s fucking annoying.
“So, were you also fucking around about how I’ll return her voice?”
“No, you will kiss her. I’m sure it can’t be so hard when you were ready to sacrifice your voice!”he answers coldly.
My head is still fucking reeling from this.
Kiss Blondie?
Her pouty lips flicker in my mind, and I growl, rubbing my forehead.
No, that shit is fucked.
I need to focus and tell him the second request before he disappears.
“Right… the second thing.” I try to push that thought out of my head and focus on the second deal. “Let her speak to her father.”
