~Zenaida~I didn't know someone was working from the veranda of the second floor. A brick fell in my direction, and because of Drake's help, I was saved. However, I have no excuse with bruises. Just to avoid the falling brick, I slipped down. I had some bruises on my arm and legs. It's not fatal, but it was enough to make me groan in pain.“Are you okay?”I lifted my head when I saw a hand being offered. It was Drake, which made me smile. Just the moment I accepted his hand, I saw Alpha Ares with a new girl passed by to where I slipped away. Alpha Ares knew that I was here but he didn't even lay an eye on me. I can't help but to grit my teeth from his acts.“Careful, Zenaida. You still have bruises. Do you want to be treated?”I turned my attention back to Drake who looked worried about me. Taking a deep breath, I shook my head to him.“Thank you for your concern, Drake, but I am fine. I just need to rest for a bit.”Drake nodded his head to me. He took my wrist, which made my eyes di
~Zenaida~I was still looking at Ares, stunned from what he just mentioned a while ago. It seems like I was facing the different Ares.He just made me so speechless.“I am… Fine.”Ares furrowed his brows from what I've said. He noticed my sudden utterance which looked so embarrassing. Damn.“Yeah, it seems like you're fine. I just want to make sure you are fine because I don't want something to happen to you while you are in my care.”I felt my heart skip a little as I listened to what Alpha Ares had mentioned to me. Is it really for real?I mean, did he really care for me?But… This is so impossible. It came from his mouth that he didn't care about me. I shouldn't be thinking that this alpha, the ruthless of all the alphas, would waste his time just to worry about me. A damaged wolf.“I know what's in your mind. You think that I care, don't you?”I gulped. How on earth did he know my mind?“I didn't say that…”Alpha Ares just shook his head while his eyes were still on me. It's reall
~Zenaida~I ran through my room when I realized what just happened. I never expected that I would act like that with Ares.“What did I do?”As I leaned my back at the door, I was thinking about what happened. Never did I expect that I would utter those words to Ares. I don't know how I will face Ares. I don't know what could be his reaction when he remembered what I've said.“You are such a fool, Zenaida. Now look at what you did!?”I keep scolding myself, and keep on thinking about the possible thing that will happen when I see Alpha Ares. I don't know what to do when I am already in front of him, but it already happened. There is nothing I can do about changing what happened. All that I can do is to be prepared enough, so when I face Ares, I am so ready.After helping myself to feel calmed, I had decided to go out of the room. I checked Alpha Ares' room, but there is no hint of him anymore. He was finally gone, and I have no idea where he went by, so I decided to go out to find Cass
~Zenaida~After those painful words that Ares had mentioned earlier, I look for a place where I know I can feel better. I had decided to take the way at the back of his mansion. There, I found an amazing spot where I knew I could find peace. It is away from the crowded place where wolves are everywhere, and most of all, away from Alpha Ares. It was just easy for him to call me a criminal. Well, I can't blame them though. They just know me based on speculations.I just can't imagine that after everything that happened to me at the Red Moon Pack, I still have a lot of worst things to face in this pack, in Ares' hands. The deal that we both agreed to, I don't know if I could still be able to do it. As time passed by while I was with him, Ares never even spent his time with me, which made it hard for me to start my plan. He never even laid an eye to me, so that he could see my other side, which is my good side. “It was really hard to tame a heartless wolf.”I can't help but to laugh at m
~Zenaida~Just when I thought I was about to be attacked, a strong hand stopped the woman from coming near me. I blink my eyes just to make sure that what I saw is true, but I had proven that it really is. Someone stopped her, and my eyes can't believe what I found out. The man who just stopped the woman from hurting me was actually the monster I thought. It was Alpha Ares. He was responsible for the woman's sudden death.Yes, he killed the woman without doubt. I was shocked from what happened, I couldn't move my legs to run away. I have no choice, but to watch Ares whose hands were covered with blood from that woman already. My heart didn't stop from beating so fast.“What did you do, Ares?”Alpha Ares turned his head at me, his brows were furrowed. I was stunned by my direction, waiting for his words.“I killed her.”He just simply answered. I swallowed my saliva, making me cough.“Is that your way of thanking me after I saved your life?”I was speechless. It just came to me that A
~Zenaida~I stepped back upon seeing the smirk on the faces of these men in front of me. They looked so scary to the point that I almost fell to the ground. I just made the mistake of approaching them because they misunderstood me.“I was about to ask the kitchen's way.”I uttered in the hope that they would listen to my explanation. However, these men aren't convinced. They still continued walking in my direction.“The kitchen is not this way. This is the place of the warrior wolves.”I gulped when I realized the mistake I made. I didn't notice that the way I took in was not actually through the kitchen. It is the warrior wolves' cabin. Damn.“I didn't know that this is not what I am looking for. Please leave me alone. I don't want a fight with all of you.”My heart was pounding so fast while looking at them. In just one mistake, everything would end. So, as long as I have the chance, I will do my best to escape from them. I know that they have different intentions to me. Out of fear
~Zenaida~Alpha Ares raised his hand, which made me confused. I stopped in my direction, thinking what does he mean about it until I noticed his men coming, led by Ares' beta, Stephen. “We cannot allow you to come over to Alpha Ares, Zenaida.”I looked at Stephen, eyes widened in shock. I just can't believe that Ares won't allow me to talk to him. All that I want to do is just to explain my side to him, but he is not allowing me. I couldn't do anything about it if he didn't want me near him.“I understand, Stephen. I will just let him rest for now.”Stephen nodded his head, so I left to avoid Alpha Ares. I know deep inside my heart that what I did is right. I just don't want anyone to be hurt because of me, and most of all, I don't want to have a debt with Alpha Ares again.The things that he did for me were all enough. I can't pay it all anymore. But I still have to do something towards Ares. I need to talk to him, and I will only do that tomorrow, when he's already fine. For now, I
~Zenaida~Those words that came out from Katie's mouth rang a bell to me. I could feel the blood through my body heating up while looking at her.“What did you say?”I still wanted to confirm that I was hearing it right. My head turned at Ares, who was only crossing his arms while looking at me. I had no idea what he was thinking now.“You were Ares' slave. I am supposed to command you, but I am not aware. However, I can still do it now.”I grit my teeth, while listening to what Katie was telling me. I forgot to count the girls of Ares whom I encountered since I came here. Ares is really a playboy alpha. He loves to play with women and just dump them if he gets tired of them. I just can't believe he's like this. Never did I imagine that I would be with a playboy alpha. Maybe, this is destiny. I can't do anything to stop my destiny, and the only thing I need to do is to survive this. I know I can survive on this.“I'm sorry, but I don't work with the alpha's playmate.”Crossing my arm
~Zenaida~A month had passed since Ares survived. I thought I would lose him but the Moon Goddess never allowed it to happen. She answered my prayer and now we are together. It's been a month that we thrive to maintain the peace of all the lands. Drake is the new Alpha of the Yellow Moon Pack as I passed the throne to him. I wanted to focus on taking good care of Apollo. Ares stayed as the most powerful Alpha King of all. He has maintained his position and no one can ever take that from him. After everything that happened, we are finally back with each other. I was able to forgive Ares and give him another chance to prove himself to me. It's already been one month but still, he never fails to show me how sorry he was. Ares even courted me even though I asked him not to do it. He didn't listen to me and just continued on doing it for me. I just let him because this is what makes him happy.Today, I am with the workers of the pack as we prepared an event for all the young wolves of th
~Zenaida~The person who caught the bullet that was supposed to be for me was Ares. He was shot near his heart, making him fall to the ground. I could feel my body tremble as I looked at Ares. My eyes turned at Alexander who was smirking. “Well done. I killed him.”Gritting my teeth, I ran into his direction and killed Alexander with the gun. The gun that he used towards Ares. Tears were still streaming down to my eyes as I took the life of Alexander. I would never stop not until I heard Ares. “A-Athena…”My legs were still trembling as I went back into Ares' direction. He was already hugging our son, Apollo. Apollo let him hug him. The child was confused, but his eyes seemed to recognize that the man hugging him was actually his father. There was blood flowing from Ares' wounds, so I cut his shirt to cover it and to stop the bleeding.“This is the happiest day of my life that I finally feel my son, Athena. You have no idea how you made me happy now.” I don't like how Ares sounded
~Zenaida~We were all surprised when Ares arrived where Alexander and Isabella locked us. There were enemies who followed Ares from the back, but he was able to kill them. At this moment, Alexander and Isabella's eyes were diverted to Ares. I looked at my son and she had fallen asleep. I slowly carry him and put him on the other side. I have to make sure of his safety before ending this battle. “You're still alive, huh?” Ares gritted his teeth as he entered the room. He ran in my direction. We are both facing Alexander and Isabella. Ares' arrival saved us from what these two were about to do. I can't stop rejoicing deep inside when I think about Ares. I thought he didn't care for us anymore but seeing him here made me think that he really doesn't want anything to happen to us.“A man like me will never die easily. I could still remember the reaction from your mate's face before when I pleased her before ending her life. She was calling your name while being pleased, and it's satisfy
~Zenaida~Two days had already passed since Ares came here. I was relieved because he never returns. Maybe he realized that he has no chance with me. I will never give him a chance after all the things he did to me.I just got done taking a bath when I suddenly heard a knock from the door. My heart is pounding so fast thinking about that person knocking from our apartment's door. I took the gun and hid it underneath my dress before opening it.This might be Ares. He knows where I stayed, and I will kill him when he returns. On the other hand, I could feel my heart pounding thinking that it would be him again. Just when I opened the door, I was surprised to see a lot of men outside. I took the gun out from where I hid it, but they are so fast to take it from me. I was already cornered by these men. “Who are you?”I asked with worries written on my face. These men in front of me are not familiar. I know they are not from Ares, and it bothers me so much. My heart starts pounding so fast
~Zenaida~Ares tried to follow me but Drake and the rest of my men stopped him from doing so. I carried my son, and we entered the car just before Ares could reach us. I looked at him and he kept on screaming. The pain that he felt now has nothing from the pain I have felt a year ago. Everything that he felt now, he deserved it. Ares will never have us, not even he will have a chance to hold Apollo.Drake immediately climbed on the car. We leave the pack to stay away from Ares. Apollo is still hugging me, and he doesn't know about what's happening. He's still one year old and whatever happens around him, he would never understand. All I ever wanted is to give my son a complete family but because of what Ares did to me, I don't know if I can do that. The pain was still in my heart. I was already blinded with my anger towards Ares. “Zenaida, I am really sorry. I didn't know that the pack was under attack. I didn't know that Ares was there. Apollo doesn't want to stop crying, so I have
~Zenaida~I kneel not because I am weak. This is not already about myself. I have hundreds of people behind me and I can't watch them die because of me. Alpha Ares is the most fearful Alpha to mess with. He won't hesitate to do what he said if I keep on insisting. This is my way to let him know that I am not against him.I looked at him and found out that he was looking at me. I couldn't tell what could be in his mind at this moment and I don't care. On the other hand, we are suddenly interrupted by the sound of a coming car.My heart suddenly pounded so fast when I looked at it. It's as if my body started shaking when I recognized the car. A man went out and in his arms, there's my son. I couldn't imagine what I was supposed to do upon finding out that Drake had arrived with Apollo in his hands. My eyes turned at Ares who was looking at Drake, his face darkened.I could feel my legs were shaking but I did my best to rush in Drake's direction. Apollo's eyes were filled with tears but
~Zenaida~One week had passed since the encounter between me and Isabella. I have decided to stay in the pack and focus myself on its improvement. After I encountered Ares' enemies, I realized that I should not leave the pack. I know there are threats waiting for me outside. My son needs me and to keep myself, I have to stay there.It was already six in the evening, but it's still so clear outside because of the moon's light. I was on the balcony of the house while my sister was in her room already. I couldn't sleep while thinking about Ares. He kept disturbing my head and I hated this feeling.“I will not allow you to disturb my head again.”Letting out a deep breath, I decided to go inside my room when I suddenly heard the alarm around the pack. My heart pounded so fast upon finding out the meaning of that alarm. Taking out my gun and bullets, I went out of the house to check outside.Carter and all the male wolves of the pack were gathered in the field, preparing for the upcoming g
~Zenaida~Weeks have passed already and life goes on in the pack. It wasn't just the first time that Ares and I crossed paths together. We've been together for business matters since I have already met a lot of Alpha whom I have made a deal with. However, Ares treated me like I was a stranger. He doesn't lay an eye on me which I also did. I promised myself that I would never get affected by him.It was him who did a lot of things to me and there's no way I would be affected by him. Ares has to know that whatever he will do, he cannot affect me. I came back here because of my parents' pack and not because of him. That's what he needed to know.I had a meeting with some of the alphas I made a deal with last time and Ares was there. I went out first because I don't like staying any longer while Ares is in the room. My blood doesn't stop boiling. As I opened the door of the room, I was suddenly surprised to see Isabella waiting outside.Her arms are crossed, her lips forming a smirk. It s
~Zenaida~I approached those Alphas that I know and made a deal with them. I was able to convince them without facing any trouble. After doing that, I told Carter we shall go back to the pack because it's almost in the middle of the night and our travel would take time. The Yellow Moon Pack is far from where the event was held. Carter, who was beside me and my men behind us suddenly stopped from walking. I even stopped walking when I found someone coming on our way.My world suddenly stopped moving when I saw his face. The face that ruined my life. That same face who breaks my heart into pieces and the father of my son. Ares' eyes were also in my direction, looking surprised to see me. Beside him is Isabella who is gritting her teeth and she even moved her body closer to Ares.I didn't wish to meet him in this place. I never wanted our paths to cross again after one year, but it seemed like it was our destiny to see each other once more. My men stay closer to me as their way of protec
