Of Gods and Monsters Series by Wulf Francú Godgluck

Hades His innocence was the fire that blighted the deepest dark, but even he can't save the King from a past stained so black, the devil won't even touch it. Years creep up on you, like a rotting hand: cold and wet, it will drag you down into your grave. Life will hand you eternity only to rip it away from you. Love will slaughter you in the most beautiful way and still manage to nail you in the ass, bareback, when you see him choose the heart of another man. But Death.. moreHades His innocence was the fire that blighted the deepest dark, but even he can't save the King from a past stained so black, the devil won't even touch it. Years creep up on you, like a rotting hand: cold and wet, it will drag you down into your grave. Life will hand you eternity only to rip it away from you. Love will slaughter you in the most beautiful way and still manage to nail you in the ass, bareback, when you see him choose the heart of another man. But Death... He is a patient soul. He waits, and he waits, and he waits. 'Cause the bastard knows he will always have the last laugh when he knocks at the door. Kemono Memories were all I had, all I had clung to as my heart turned to stone and finally to dust. Now he is mine and I will hold him, and I will kiss him. We will dance and we will laugh, and we will cry... We will be human together... I did not know heaven until I knew him. There is no greater power that can tear and rip your world apart as when their lips finally kiss yours again. But being human comes at a fatal price. Sometimes you have to let go of the hand you hold onto so tightly that it brought pain, because that is the only way you can save them from Death. Rex Why did she take them away, hand them back, then force me to choose? Is love really that cruel, that she would enjoy tormenting you as you watch the two men you love with your whole heart, kill each other...? And then, my worst fear, my deepest darkest nightmare became a living breathing thing. Death had come to take from us what we could never replace. less
