KALILA’S POV I had already gone white with fear, so it was a great relief when I looked up and saw who I saw, it was Jeremy. He had a very intent frown on his face and his eyes stared past me with a suspicious glint. I almost tripped and fell but Jeremy was very quick, he reached out a hand and grabbed me. “Be careful, Dahlia.” He said as he pulled me up, his voice wasn’t nice at that moment but impatient.Suddenly, Wendy and uncle Lawrence turned sharply and stared in our direction. Once again Jeremy’s lightening reflexes came to play, he grabbed my waist with one arm and pulled me to him while his free palm covered my mouth. We blended into the darkness immediately while Wendy and uncle Lawrence squinted with a frown in our direction. He let go of my mouth slowly and I whispered, “Let’s go! They’re done with the meeting.” He shook his head, “No, not yet, just watch.”I looked at them again, truly they weren’t done as they kept talking, there was a smile on Wendy’s face. The sam
ARES’S POVI still regaled in the way my last meeting with Dahlia had gone, despite my intentions just to leave her stranded, I was also stranded myself. Leo was right, it was just an ego trip that satisfied neither of us, it still satisfied my pride though. I remembered the desperate look of lust in her eyes as she looked up at me, I could have had her there and then. “But you decided that your ego needed to be satisfied first.” Leo said. “Don’t be so bummed, eh Leo? Dahlia's not running away, things will be sorted out.” I replied confidently as I walked up the stairs. I got to the bedroom and waited for sometime, expecting Dahlia to walk in any time soon but she didn’t. Then I heard a car pull into the driveway and I looked at the time. The darkness was beginning to cover the sky, who was visiting this late? I didn’t bother to check, I just laid on my bed, waiting for a knock on the door. Three minutes later it came and then a maid walked in and bowed to me. “Alpha Ares, you
KALILA’S POVI was still stuck on the reason for Ares’s sudden anger, the glint in his furious eyes had frightened me. Something made me think whatever it was, it was either caused my uncle Lawrence or directed at Jeremy, it was probably both. I didn’t want to get involved, I would ask Jeremy what the issue was the next day. “Dear Kalila, you’re so naïve sometimes.” Nova said as I walked up the stairs.I stopped, “What do you mean by that, Nova?” I asked.“Are you saying it’s only anger you saw in Ares’s eyes?” She asked.What else was there? I thought, wondering what she was driving at, then I nodded. “Yes, that’s all I saw. From the looks of things you saw something else. Share it with me then.” I said, I stood rigidly, listening with rapt attention to Nova’s words.“You've already come to a conclusion, it’s either it was caused by his uncle or directed towards Jeremy. You’re not too wrong, it’s definitely the latter. His eyes held anger, jealousy and a tiny glimpse of hatred. But
KALILA’S POV“Are you sure you’re okay, ma’am?” Angela asked as we left the pack gates, there was genuine concern in her eyes.All I did was look out of the window, each tear that dropped I wiped it off immediately. I needed to hold myself back, it wasn’t worth crying over. I had been a fool to fall for Ares during this stupid mission when all I had to do was protect him. Maybe Wendy was right, maybe she would always win, after I saved Ares and I was back in the human world, who would be left? Wendy of course, she would take my place here and become the Luna after I’ve saved Ares’s fucking life.As those thoughts clouded my head, I remained silent for a while, waiting for something. An advice, a warning, a consolation, but none came.“Why aren’t you saying anything? I know you want to say something so why the hell are you silent?” I asked Nova. “Common, go ahead and say it!”“Relax, Kalila, it’s not a crime that you fell for Ares during your mission. You see him everyday so it’s very
ARES'S POVNow I was really upset with Wendy, I just stood outside as the cloud of dust around me faded, watching the car drive away. I could already picture Dahlia crying and cursing me for 'cheating' once again and all it did was make me angry at Wendy. The previous day I had seen very little of Dahlia, I wasn’t even aware that she and Jeremy were bound for the Blue Moon pack today. When I got back from the meeting, it was in the early hours of the morning and I was already awake before Dahlia was. My first visitor of the day, was of course the one that would ruin the rest of the day for me, it was Wendy. “Wendy? What are you doing here by this time?” I had asked when she walked in with a smile on her face. “I haven’t seen you in a while, Ares. I came to check on you because I was missing you.” She said, perching on the edge of my desk instead of taking a seat like normal people did.That had made me squint at her but I said nothing, anything that made her comfortable, she coul
KALILA’S POVWendy was oblivious to my presence the whole time, she didn’t even bother to turn or look around while she carefully mixed whatever she put into the wine. That was a very big mistake, this was the break through.Ares came into the living room and immediately she plastered a warm smile on her face and walked towards him with the glass. The devil! “Here you go, Ares.” She said and handed the glass to him.Before Ares could take a sip, I walked to him and snatched the glass of dangerous liquid from his hand and placed it on a table. I didn’t bother talking to him at that point or even accusing Wendy, I just walked past him. As expected I heard his footsteps behind me as I ascended the stairs and all I thought about was what I had seen in his study when I ran in earlier. I kept on walking and before I entered the bedroom he caught up to me and held my hand. “Dahlia.” He called, his deep voice husky and hesitant. It was rare for him to sound so unsure of himself.I didn’t l
ARES’S POV “It wasn’t easy right from the start, you know. A bastard like you is always difficult to kill.” Wendy’s father was still talking. “But we figured it out…oh Ares you don’t know how well we figured this shit out.” He said, his eyes were weak and weary but still burning with a hatred and strange determination.I was shocked to my bones, when Dahlia and Jeremy had barged into my office, accusing Wendy of the deed, nothing in me believed it. Nothing in me except Leo who was running wild like an animal on cocaine.“I knew it! I knew it! I fucking knew it!” He kept exclaiming to the extent that I couldn’t think straight anymore. “Leo…” I called but he was still exclaiming. “Leo…Leo?...fuck, Leo!” He fell silent immediately. “Stop talking, please.”I stared at Wendy’s father, still refusing to believe how everything had surfaced. “You had it figured out so well, right? So why am I still alive?”His hateful eyes fell on Dahlia and I felt her body as she clung closer to me. “Her,
KALILA’S POVThe previous night was the best night of my life, Ares finally confessed his love for me and everything in me melted at that moment. I was really shocked by the discovery myself, although Jeremy and I already had a head start, it was still shocking to me. I couldn’t imagine what this discovery did to Ares mentally but I was happy that I could help him one way or the other. On my way to the Blue moon pack, there was a smile plastered on my face the whole time. Angela, who always went with me noticed this and said, “You look quite happy today, ma’am, unlike the last time. You have a lovely smile.” My smile broadened and I looked at her, “It’s a good day, Angela. A very good day.” I said. “That’s no surprise, judging from what happened yesterday.” She said with sober eyes. “Everyone knows, no one really like the lady, Wendy.” “She wasn’t the very likeable kind, was she? A real bitch if you ask me.” I said, I could speak freely now.I suddenly didn’t give a fuck, I didn’
