Excerpt from Chapter 6 of Wrath of Hades
“She’s not here.”
“Who?” Raven asked as she turned
to look at the person speaking to her. The man was tall, but broad shouldered.
His long dark hair was pulled back and tied with a leather cord at the nape of
his neck. Raven frowned. He looked familiar.
“Meritus Myers. She’s not here.
I’ve checked the building and so have several others.” He flashed a smile at
her.
Raven paled. She took a couple
of steps away from the man.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
He sounded genuinely concerned
but Raven knew better. She knew it was his way of luring people into his trap.
She wouldn’t fall for it, not like she almost did last time. “I’m onto your
tricks. You may have the rest of them fooled, but not me. I know better. I know
exactly who you are.”
The man frowned slightly. “I
think you have me mixed up with someone else.”
Raven shook her head. “You’re
not fooling me, Zeus. Or should I saw Uncle Zeus.” Raven tried to put some
distance between them, but he matched every step she took.
“I’m not Zeus.”
“Right. What game are you trying
to pull now?”
