Chapter 28 The Chains Of Fate

• Aphrodite's Point of View
• The first time I saw Alpha Zeus, my blood ran cold. It was too late. The towering figure of the Alpha stood yards away, his cruel smile visible even in dim light spilling across the clearing. My heart hammered in my chest, and my body screamed at me to run instinctively. But I couldn't—not this time.
• Hades stepped up alongside me, his stance a full defend-me move, and for a moment I forgot what we were here to do. Then, stepping out of the trees was the sound of clompety shuffle footsteps. Guards of Zeus - elite members of the Red Blood Pack - cleared the edges of us in an instant. The two Shadow Pack members who escorted us were grabbed without a fight, faces grim at having walked into a trap.
