Page 51 of Seeking Hades' Ember

"Something all human women do; they menstruate." I lifted my eyebrow and looked at the contents of the first aid kit.

"Why would she be embarrassed about that?" I asked softly as I picked up some of the items in the kit.

"It's probably her first one. If you don't have enough fat or meat on your bones, a women's body wouldn't be able to support a child anyway. Jillian has been skinny for so long, and now that she is getting her figure and being healthy, her body decided to 'woman up’." I rubbed my hand through my hair and grunted. I should go torture Teddy Johnson some more.

Stupid fucker.

"You don't think I have to explain…" I waved my hand around the items in the box while Vulcan shook his head.

"She grew up around a bunch of women; I'm sure she picked up on it or was explained to her. She isn't dumb, Hades. She is just embarrassed." Vulcan went back to his seat while Ares was dry-heaving, listening to our conversation.

"That's so gross!" he whined. "I can't even look at my bloody steak right now!" Vulcan slapped him upside the head giving him a few choice words. "It's normal, nimrod. Now you get to go do a chocolate and ice cream run after breakfast." Ares whined again, but Vulcan gave him a dirty look.

I closed the box, waved for a few demons to pick up the mess, and then ordered them to leave the palace. Demons have a high sense of smell, and most of my demons crave blood because it usually leads to death. It's like a damn homing beacon for sharks. Once the demons leave, I'll keep her locked up in the palace with us or maybe take her to Earth for a short vacation.
