Alpha's Redemption-Countdown To 90 Days Possible danger
ARES'S POVIt was almost midnight when I eased the limo into the dimly lit garage of my mansion and turned off the engine. Exhausted, I slumped into the driver's seat, barely able to keep my eyes open. I had sent Dolph home two hours earlier, knowing I'd be working late at the office. He had protested, always eager to serve me, but I insisted on driving myself home.As I sat in the garage, I pondered the strange behaviour of my staff. They would often protest and opt to work even when I ordered them to take a break. But as soon as I insisted, they would leave with relieved smiles. I couldn't understand why.The reason I had dismissed Dolph was that I didn't want to involve him in the mystery of the strange scent that had been following me. There was something dangerous and unknown lurking around, and I didn't want to put anyone in harm's way.Stepping out of the car, my nose twitched as the scent grew more assertive. It was almost as if there was a cloud of it hanging over my mansion.

KALILA’S POVThe sun's rays penetrated through the windows, falling on my eyelids, and I woke up with my palm covering my tired eyes, muttering curses at the sun.As I opened my eyes, the first sight I caught was Ares seated at the mahogany desk at the corner of the room, staring at some papers with a frown on his intense face. The cloud of smoke from the cigarette stuck between his lips highlighted his sea-green eyes, making him look like a dangerous man. Maybe he was, and I didn't know that yet. Flashes from the previous night swam in my head, and I was once again the disappointed girl who had been full of hope.As I stretched out my legs and swung them off the bed, he looked up, still with a frown on his face, and glanced at me standing beside the bed. Then his eyes returned to the documents on the desk. What a man! I thought.I braced myself, knowing that he owed me an explanation for his absence last night, and I was going to get reasons out of him without turning it into an argu

KALILA'S POVAs the Rolls Royce came to a halt in front of Ares's mansion, I mumbled a quiet "thank you" to Jeremy. There was a strange look in his eyes as he turned to stare at me, studying me closely. "Are you sure nothing is the matter, Dahlia?" he asked.The drive had been silent, and I had said nothing. Jeremy seemed to sense my emotions and understand them clearly, as he didn't attempt to start any conversation."No, Jeremy, you've been so helpful to me recently. I can't thank you enough," I replied."Say no more, Luna," he grinned.I shot him a stern look, and he released a chortle. Once I got out of the car, my mind again focused on the issue that had been bothering me all day.As I entered the house, lost in thought, I didn't even realise when Angela slipped up beside me and took my handbag, as had become her habit. I only noticed her presence when I arrived at the bedroom door and almost jumped."Angela? How did you get here?" I asked, puzzled."I walked you up, ma'am," sh

KALILA'S POVIt was an unusual Saturday. The mansion teemed with more servants than I knew existed. Dressed in white, they scurried around the house, calling my attention from different angles to assess and commend their work. If I ever thought work at the office was stressful, this was a tsunami.It was the most boisterous atmosphere I had ever witnessed at the mansion, and I was sure it hadn't been like this for a long time. The coronation fever was evident everywhere, permeating the entire building, grasping everyone in its festivity. The only people that didn't seem happy were Angela and me. Or maybe only me."Do you think you need a break, ma'am?" Angela asked. "You've been working all morning, even harder than that so-called event planner over there."I craned my neck to the right and saw the event planner at the dining table, stuffing his large mouth with pancakes. It was the first time I had seen a male event planner, and this one was lazy and more of a liability than an asset

ARES’S POVI strode into the mansion and was immediately struck by the elegant décor. The decorations were flawless, befitting of the coronation of an Alpha. Judging from the bills Jeremy had left on my desk, the event planner was quite pricey. Earlier, before leaving the house, I had observed Dahlia in action as she hustled and bustled around the hall, supervising the servants and coordinating the arrangements. I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for her determination and dedication to ensuring everything ran smoothly. However, that feeling was quickly replaced by annoyance when a thought suddenly struck me."Why is she doing all of this when I've made it clear she wouldn't be present at my coronation?"The thought lingered in my mind as I watched her. Despite her efforts to impress me with her work ethic, I remained resolute in my decision. Dahlia's persistence was starting to grate on my nerves. If she thought she could win me over by working hard, she was wasting her ti

KALILA'S POV “So, we’re back here. At least it seems more comfortable than the last time.” Nova murmured. “Stop talking, Nova.” I said.There was no word to describe how cruel he was. He was both the villain and the one I needed to save in my quest. What had I done wrong? I hadn't attacked Wendy just for the sake of it the first time or did anything else to deserve this cruel treatment. I vented my frustration to Nova, who had been talking to me all night, telling me not to take it out on Ares. She reminded me he wasn't the main reason I was on this quest. Although he was the main subject of my mission, the ultimate goal was for my benefit."Hey, Kalila. Relax and ease your mind," Nova said."Ease my mind?" I cut in, incredulous. "Can you hear yourself, Nova? He locked me up again.""I know, and that's why I'm talking to you. I'm not only your wolf; I can also be your guardian and counsellor," Nova replied.I sat on the floor, silently listening to her."Ares is the one you need

KALILA POV"I'll take it from here," Ares said, dismissing the others with a wave of his hand. The sound of retreating footsteps faded away, and soon after, another set of footsteps approached the cage. Ares grasped the bars tightly and spoke slowly, his voice low and menacing, "I know you're awake, Dahlia."I lay still, trying not to betray any movement that would confirm his suspicion. But inwardly, I was trembling with fear. Maybe I hadn't thought this through enough. Ares was not only wicked and heartless, but he was also smart, and I was afraid I had underestimated him. I heard the sound of a lock snapping, and the cage door creaked open as Ares stepped inside.He didn't say anything for a moment, and I wondered if he was staring down at me, waiting for me to make a move. I didn't dare open my eyes, not even for a second. Suddenly, his warm fingers brushed my hair aside, and I couldn't help but squirm at his touch.In an instant, I knew I had made a mistake. A huge hand grasped

ARES POV As I tried to take a breather from all the attention, Alpha Lance approached me. "Ares," his deep voice called out."Alpha Lance, you're looking very well," I complimented."And you look even better," he replied."I'm younger," I joked.We both laughed and as it died down, he continued, "There isn't much to say today because it's about you. Congratulations, Alpha Ares." He patted me on the shoulders and walked away.I made my way to the VIP section, where the elders of my pack were seated, waiting to crown me. We exchanged greetings, and I was relieved that I had finally acknowledged everyone."Look at him," a voice said from behind, and I turned sharply."Uncle Lawrence!" I cried, embracing him."I was with your father when you were born," he said."Please don't start, Uncle Lawrence," I interjected, knowing he was about to launch into his favourite story about my birth."It had been a stormy night!" he began.I tuned him out, knowing every detail of the story. He finally e

KALILA POV I looked up at the moon and asked, "Will Nova still be with me?" "Nova dies with you as Dahlia." The goddess replied. I cleared my throat and took a deep breath. "I wish to stay here and live as Dahlia and Ares's Luna," I said, and something like a heavy weight was lifted off my heart. The satisfaction I had been looking for just flooded into my body like a fucking tsunami. The void in me was filled to a plethora, and the smile I had been struggling with formed on my face. This was it, and this was the discovery of myself I had been searching for all this while. I was meant to be here, with Ares and the rest of them. "Very well, Kalila, your wish has been granted." She beamed at me."Just like that?" I asked, hoping an out of the body experience would happen. Like something magical to signify it was done."Just like that," The moon goddess said; it was the last I would hear of her for quite some time. I watched the moon fade as it ascended back into the dark void; sl

KALILA'S POV The moment I blacked out, I knew that was it, that was the end of "Dahlia" and the return of Kalila. I did it! Three months, three whole months of torture and endurace, and love and pain had finally come to an end. I was in something like a dark hole; all around me was darkness.But something wasn't right, something wasn't right with me; I didn't feel that satisfaction; I didn't feel that plethora of happiness I had always pictured that I would feel when this moment finally came. There was a void in me, an emptiness that only increased as I felt myself growing further and further away from the Crescent moon pack, from Ares, Jeremy and Angela and Melissa, and everyone who wasn't trying to kill me, and the only question I could ask myself was 'Why?' Why was it like this? Did Nova's departure cause the emptiness in me? It could be.Nova was already a part of me; I loved her; even when we didn't see eye to eye; even when I didn't heed to her advice, I loved my wolf. I
Alpha's Redemption-Countdown To 90 Days HUNDRED-NINE
ARES POV I sat in my study; my fingers were shaking as I smoked cigarette after cigarette. My mind was in complete turmoil; all my threats were gone, all of them. I expected a happily ever after with Dahlia; even though I knew she wasn’t who she claimed to be, it suddenly didn’t matter anymore. My love had reached new heights for her, and all I wanted in this whole world was for her to remain by my side. But I wasn’t battling just any werewolf or Lycan, and my obstacle was the Moon goddess herself.“You can’t lose her, Ares. You have to do everything within your power to keep her.” Leo said. Although inside of me, his voice was as sad as Jeremy’s. “What can I do, Leo? It’s not in my hands anymore; if it was against mere mortals, I would have handled the situation and kept my Luna. How am I supposed to hold her back if it was the wish of the moon goddess to take her?” I asked the thought of Dahlia leaving for good didn’t even want to register in my mind. “Then there’s only one th

ARES'S POVMy heart lurched when Angela rushed into my study breathlessly. I stared at her with wide eager eyes, waiting for her to deliver the news that made her so tense and seemingly excited. “She's awake! The Luna is awake, Alpha Ares, Luna Dahlia is finally awake!” She kept screaming and I jumped up from my chair and ran out of the room. When I got to the door, only then did I slow my pace and tried to act cool and collected. Although I managed to pull it off when I walked in, my heart was beating wildly and crazily. My hands were itching to touch her smooth, austere skin, my lips were craving the feel of hers. Everything in me was channeled towards her but I was Ares, I had to be calm. Jeremy was coming back today from a healer, he had been heavily wounded from the battle and had to be rushed away. The doctors did their part but Jeremy still insisted on a local healer to ensure that the scars went away quickly. After Dahlia/ Kalila and I spoke for a while and I revealed tha

KALILA’S POVThere was something about the way the guards regarded me when they led me outside the palace. I only thought about it more the next day after I woke up on a pile of carefully selected grasses. When I had stopped struggling and accepted that Ares hated and rejected me, I just let the guards take me away. Outside the pack house, they had let me go instead of dragging me all the way and I walked out with them by my side with a little dignity. I couldn’t find Jeremy anywhere, he probably didn’t want to set his eyes on me either. The guards gave me a bemoaning look before they bowed and said, “So long, Luna Dahlia.” They still acknowledged me as the Luna, I had won almost everyone over in the past two months and a few weeks. I thought about Angela and how she would react when she figured out that I was gone. Perhaps, she would be as disappointed as Ares and Jeremy after learning about the secret I had kept from them.Regardless, I wasn’t going to leave so easily, I couldn’t

ARES’S POVThe sound of the glass on the wall was like a shrill cry of a baby. It came crashing down to the floor in splinters and I just stared at it with bloodshot eyes. “Fuck!” I exclaimed aloud and bit my lower lip hard until I felt a rush of blood.This couldn’t be happening, this couldn’t be fucking happening. How could this be? How could this be real? It was absurd, it surely couldn’t be possible that another person’s spirit would take over someone else’s body. It made absolutely no sense! I looked at Jeremy who still had the diary in his hands, then Jeremy looked at me. “She didn’t take the diary with her.” He said gloomily. “She’s Kalila, she’s not Dahlia. She…she confessed it to me and I’m sure as her close friend she must have done same to you. What did she say?” I asked, dropping to one of the couches in the room. “Wait, before you sit, get me a drink.” Jeremy stood still, not moving and not obeying my orders I squinted at him and cocked my head sideways in confusion
Alpha's Redemption-Countdown To 90 Days Hundred-Five
I let him go and took in deep breaths. “Alright, I’m not Dahlia, I’m Kalila. That’s my name and I’m not a werewolf either, I’m human. I was…I was killed by a girl named Millicent who awfully looks a lot like Wendy, that’s why I attacked her at the office party the first time I saw her. I was reborn into Dahlia's body, I don’t know how either. You have to believe me when I say that.” I swallowed hard, feeling a lump at the base of my throat. “It was fated by the Moon goddess, she gave me instructions and told me why I was reborn here. She also gave me conditions and a mission to fulfill before I can return to the human world. And that mission is to keep Ares alive, and I had just three months.”He shook his head in disbelief and bewilderment, “That’s fucking crazy, you’re fucking crazy!” He exclaimed and I had to hold his hand again. “Jeremy, that’s the truth. You have to believe me!” I said firmly. “I know it’s crazy, I know it’s difficult to believe but that’s the damn truth and I’m

KALILA’S POVJahdiel was crazy! He had to be but he was very smart too, I had to warn Ares. “Dolph! Drive faster! Please!” I suddenly yelled and Angela turned to look at me in confusion while Dolph stepped hard on the gas pedal. “Ma’am, is anything the matter?” She asked.“Everything is the matter, Angela, every fucking thing is the matter!” I replied hysterically.When Dolph parked the car, I didn’t wait for Angela to get the door for me, I sprang out and ran into the house. “Where is he?” I wondered as I didn’t see Ares in the living room. I ran to his study and threw the door open, he wasn’t in there either.“Ugh! Where the fuck is he?” I exclaimed with frustration and panic as I ran up the stairs. I walked into the bedroom and that was where he was, seated at his desk with a very grim expression on his cold face. “Ares!” I exclaimed and ran towards him.There was nothing stopping him from believing me now, our relationship had blossomed and there was trust and love between u

KALILA POV “Leaving already, Lisa?” Melissa asked and the beautiful lady nodded quietly and walked out. I stared at Melissa quizzically and she sighed, “That one is a keeper for my brother, that’s his favorite whore. She lets him do anything with the handcuffs, whips and his teeth, they’ll make a brutal couple. But I forbid it, I won’t be able to sleep at night with her screams.” “Hmm…” I nodded. “He has quite his range of women.”“And he’s behind us right now, what a creep.” Melissa said, looking past me and I turned around to find Jahdiel staring at us at the foot of the stairs. “You usually plunge into a heavy sleep after…you know…that…so what are you doing here?” Melissa asked.He stared fixedly at me, “I found out we had a guest, do you mind if I had a word with our guest?” He asked.Melissa’s hesitant eyes looked at me first and I nodded. “Well, seems like she doesn’t have a problem with it. But!” She pointed at him. “I won’t let you talk to her like that, I’m sure you reek o
