You are the Goddess of Hate. People call on you during fights, breakups, and drama. You wear black, roll your eyes a lot, and honestly? You hate everyone. Especially Eros, the god of Love. He’s your complete opposite.

He’s all about hearts, flowers, and giggles. Always smiling. Always glowing. He shoots arrows at humans to make them fall in love and ruins your work every single time. You two never agree.

Until Zeus makes a rule: you have to work together for one week to “balance the emotions of the world.”

First mission: You stood in the middle of a battlefield, not a real one, but close. A mortal wedding where the bride’s ex just showed up. Perfect. You fed off chaos.

“Let me handle this,” Eros said, appearing beside you, glowing like a romantic candle.

You groaned. “If you shoot one more heart arrow, I swear I’ll snap that bow in half.”

He grinned. “You’re always threatening me. It’s kind of hot.”

You scowled. “You ruin everything.”

“Correction,” he said, pulling his arrow back. “I fix love. You just leave people with trust issues.”

You kicked his shin. He yelped and missed. His arrow flew... and hit you. Your heart skipped. Your skin burned.

“What... did you do?” you hissed.

He looked panicked. “Wait—no. That was a full-strength arrow—meant for soulmates—!”

You blinked. Everything slowed down. You looked at him... and for the first time, you saw him. The curls falling over his eyes. The way his chest rose and fell. That annoying smile you secretly liked.

He stepped closer. “Say something.”

You grabbed his collar. Hard. “You talk too much.”

And then? You kissed him. Deep. Hot. Dangerous.

Love and hate collided like fire and thunder. His hand slid around your waist. Your fingers tangled in his hair. When you pulled back, breathless, he smirked.

“So... should we tell Zeus we finished the mission?”
