ARES’S POV “Hop in with me, Ares.” Wendy said as we approached the garage. “Why? I have my own cars.” I replied as Dolph came over and handed the keys of a Rolls Royce to me. “Silly, it would look weird if we are both heading in the same direction in different cars.” She rolled her eyes. I stared blankly at her for a while, then shrugged, “I don’t see anything wrong with that.” “Oh common, Ares, are you just trying to avoid me?” She asked. “This chick doesn’t just give up, does she?” Leo exclaimed in bewilderment. “If I go with you, obviously in your car, how do I come back?” I asked. “You can call Dolph when you’re done.” She replied with a smile. “That’s so dumb. Let’s go then.” I couldn’t believe I was actually giving in to her wish. “Great!” She exclaimed excitedly and flipped the keys to her car in the air, then caught it expertly. “Hold on, where the heck are you going?” I asked, watching her move to the driver’s seat. “You can't drive me, go settle in t
KALILA’S POV I wanted to tell Ares about what Wendy had said, I also wanted to ask him about who the girl him and Jahdiel had fought over was. But I couldn’t do either of those things, Ares would never believe me if I told him Wendy had threatened my position in his pack. And I was very sure that he wouldn’t want to talk about the girl they had fought over. “So you have no idea who she is?” I asked Melissa. “No idea, I wasn’t in their class. Jahdiel and Ares were in a different class so I can’t possibly figure out which girl they were both attracted to.” She replied. I remained silent for a while, it was a start, a good start actually. I had to talk to Jeremy as soon as possible. Maybe he would have something to tell me about this, a hint or so. I also thought about talking to Jahdiel, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to elicit anything useful from him. All he wanted to do was flirt with me and I was sure he would get mad when I brought up the topic. “Hey, take me for a tour
KALILA’S POV Ares stepped into the living room in the evening and Wendy emerged from the stairs. I was watching Ares’s reaction with utmost interest and I could tell that he was stunned by her sudden presence. “Wendy? What are you doing here again?” He asked, shooting a glance at me, then staring back at her. “Oh come on, Ares, don’t sound so disappointed.” She said with a hint of annoyance. “I know I am.” I remarked bluntly and she glared at me, but I didn’t spare her a glance. “It's not that I’m disappointed,” Ares started and I rolled my eyes, why was he trying to make her feel better? Or was he really not disappointed? “But this is just too sudden, what did I tell you about informing me before showing up here?” “Your phone wasn’t reachable all day.” Wendy said in a childish voice as she sat on a couch. Ares reached into his pocket and muttered curses under his breath, he had probably kept his phone on silent while the meeting was going on. He sighed, “Come with me.” He comm
KALILA’S POV It was really starting to irritate me now. Deep down, a part of me felt like the moon goddess had purposely set Wendy on my path as a obstacle to make the whole mission more difficult. What annoyed me more was her timing, I was so close to getting the whole story. Even though there was a high chance I wouldn’t know the lady in question, I could always ask Melissa for her help. “Wendy? What are you doing here? I thought you would be resting by now?” Ares asked, quite startled by her presence. “I'm bored alone in that house, so I decided to take a walk and I stormed upon you two a few meters away.” She replied, but I had a feeling she wasn’t lying. She had probably been watching both of us from a window in the house and decided to do what she does best, interfere. Ares regarded her from head to toes, then said, “You’re taking a walk in pajamas?” That had to be it, she didn’t have time to change so we wouldn’t escape from her sight. She was such a bad liar, eit
KALILA’S POV Wendy’s eyes were calling unto him, I just stood there with eyes telling him, don’t you dare think of giving it to this bitch next to me Ares. A crazy thought came into my head, was he going to make us struggle for his overcoat? As the seconds passed by, I felt a cold chill permeate throughout my body, I was freezing. “You're cold?” He asked, looking at Wendy. She nodded. “Here.” He handed his overcoat to Wendy and turned, then walked away. I stood there as bits of snow dropped on my head and shoulders, I was in a state of complete disbelief. Ares didn’t just do what I thought he did, believe me, I couldn’t express my shock. Wendy put on his coat, it swallowed her and stopped almost at her ankles. “That feels so warm, and good.” Wendy said, her eyes blazing with triumphant mockery. “Not just the overcoat, but the feeling of winning again. Remember what I told you, Dahlia?” She snickered in an evil manner and walked away.I remembered Wendy’s words back at th
KALILA’S POV I woke up the next morning with a warm feeling, I had wrapped myself up in a blanket after showering the previous night. It was still very cold, the chill of the morning and that of the night hardly had any difference. I was checking my time now with each passing day, I really hoped the goddess of the moon was on my side, otherwise I would be sunk. I stretched on the bed like a wild cat until I felt my bones fall perfectly into place. I felt so tired, it was probably because of the walk of the previous night. I had to contact Melissa soon, I didn’t want to meet Jahdiel just yet, maybe she could get his own side of the story. Ares’s was pretty palpable and after hearing what he had said yesterday, I couldn’t blame him completely. I sighed heavily, it was going to be a long day, I still had to talk to Jeremy later on. I felt so lazy as I crawled off the bed, I stopped suddenly as I saw Ares seated on his desk. “Oh shit! He had heard me groaning while I was stretchin
ARES’S POV I couldn’t say I was happy with Wendy’s presence at the pack, I wasn’t at all. Dahlia had complained about the discomforts Wendy’s presence brought to her to me twice, but there wasn’t much I could do about it. After all, I was the goof who had promised Wendy’s father that I would do anything within my power to help him during hard times. When I said that, I didn’t mean him bothering me with the task of harboring his beautiful yet very annoying daughter. I hadn’t seen her all day so I decided to stop by and check on her on my way to the pack office. “Dolph hold up, stop the car here.” He said and the car was brought to a stop. I walked in and met a servant, she bowed at the sight of me, there was no sign of Wendy. “Where’s Wendy?” I asked impatiently. “She left the house not long ago, Alpha Ares.” The timid servant replied. Where could she have gone to? I thought as I left the house and got into the car. I arrived at the pack office about ten minutes later,
KALILA’S POV “Oh no! Get that diary away from her!” Nova exclaimed with panic in her voice. I still couldn’t believe my eyes, I was so scared and everything in me was trembling. Wendy probably knew everything by now, about Dahlia, about me. She might even know that my name was actually Kalila! I was freaking out but I was too shocked to even do anything. “Don’t just stand there like a goof, go and take it away from her, Kalila!” Nova bellowed in my ears and suddenly jolted me out of my frightened thoughts. I cleared my head, took a deep breath and walked over to her. She heard my footsteps and raised her head, she was quite startled but didn’t bother hiding the diary. “What the fuck are you doing with that?” I asked in a stern voice. “And why are you even in this room?” She shrugged, “It’s Ares’s, isn’t it?” “It’s both Ares’s and mine, hand over the diary, now.” I said, stretching out my hand. She regarded me silently for a long, uncomfortable moment. I was so tensed
