"Hades, how did you set your hand on fire?" I asked as I gently wrapped his hand.
He swallowed, "It was Jackson's fault."
I looked over at Jackson who's mate was currently wrapping his leg.
"Was not! You decided to dump cold water onto it!" Jackson argued.
"I was panicking! You're the one who set the damn counter top on fire!"
Melody and I glanced at each other before looking at our mates.
Jackson sighed, "Good thing it'll be healed by next month."
"Why?" I asked.
Melody grinned before taking off her glove and showing me an amazing diamond ring.
"We're getting married!" She grinned.
"Oh my goddess, congratulations! I thought you were married already though." I replied.
Melody shrugged, "Court marriage. He didn't really propose to me either, we kind of agreed on it since we were mates. But I've been really wanting a wedding for a long time and he popped the question last night on our date." She explained.
I smiled, "Well, I'm happy for you two."

I could feel Hades watching me as I looked at her ring. It was so beautiful, Jackson has some good taste it seems. After they were wrapped Hades ended up passing out. Jackson laughed and told me he never handled burns well.
"He can handle blood and seeing bone or torn flesh, but not burns. Especially if it's him." Melody chuckled. "He's a weird guy, but he grows on you."
I nodded, "Trust me, I know. Why doesn't the pack show respect towards him though?"
A sad look crossed their features. "The whole
pack bullied him since the accident. He's had one hell of a childhood after the accident. He's attempted to...well, put it this way, he ended up in rehab.
After the third time Jackson and I told him he's the only thing we have left of an Alpha. Even though his father's Beta was a good fighter, he didn't have the pack's respect. He was a disgusting man and we all resented him. The pack just enjoyed Hades' sorrow because they blamed him for his parents dying." Melody explained.
I furrowed my eyebrows and glanced at Hades. He was currently laying on the bed, wrapped up in a blanket.
"Why didn't he tell me?" I whispered.
Melody gave me a sad smile, "He doesn't want you to worry even more or....see the real him. He's even more broken than you think."
I shook my head, "I'm always going to worry. He's my mate, my other half. It's not his fault he's like this..."
"We know, but he doesn't believe it. It's all in his head, but he will never leave you. He told me that." Jackson sounded.
I sighed and laid beside him, gently running my fingers through his hair. Melody and Jackson quietly left, closing the door behind them.
"Oh, Hades, what am I going to do with you?" I whispered.

Author's note: Yes, she still has the rest of the week and the week after for her legs to heal. She was just sitting up to wrap his wounds.
So, I'm showing you even more about his past. Eventually it'll all be told in an organized story or....
Do you guys want me to make a book about Hades' past?
