Hadès et Perséphone, tome 1 : A touch of darkness

"You wouldn't have had to be saved from my river if you had waited for me!"
"Right, because you were otherwise engaged." She rolled her eyes. "Wonder what that means."
"Shall I get you a dictionary?"
Hermes laughed, and Hades turned on him. "Why are you still here?"

“They say Hades is protective of his realm, and while that is true, it isn’t about power. He cares for his people, protects them, and he takes it personally if anyone is harmed. If you belong to him, he will tear the world apart to save you.”
