~Zenaida~The next morning, I woke up so early and found out that I was already alone on the bed. I looked for Ares around the room but I couldn't find him, instead I saw his white shirt. I picked it up to get dressed since I couldn't wear my gown back. Maybe Ares was downstairs, so I will look for him there. However, I saw Stephen instead. He was waiting for someone and I couldn't stop feeling nervous about it. I approached him to ask if he saw Alpha Ares.“Did you see Ares?”Stephen stood up on the couch when he heard my voice.“Alpha Ares has something to do, Zenaida. He called me to pick you and bring you back to the mansion.”After I heard those words from Stephen, all I felt was disappointment. I was disappointed because after what happened between me and Ares, he didn't even care to stay beside me. He didn't even bother to wait for me to wake up and tell me that he had to leave. I just can't believe that after Ares got what he wanted from me, he would leave me just like that.
~Zenaida~My friends and I got separated after Caroline's voice echoed around the place. The head of the maid just arrived, making all the workers go back from their work. On the other hand, the head maid went to where I was, so I pretended that I didn't notice her coming.“Zenaida.”I lifted my head when I heard her voice. She was already in front of me. I don't know what the head wants from me, and it started to make me nervous.“Is there anything I can do for you, Caroline?”Caroline crossed her arms while still looking at me. I know Caroline doesn't like the idea of me being here and I couldn't blame her. Most of them don't like me for being with Alpha Ares except my friends.“Did you hear the gossip?”I furrowed my brows as I looked at her. I don't know what her plan is for asking me about it.“Gossips?”She suddenly laughed from what I had said as if my question looked funny to her.“How did you become a Luna if you're always late with the news?”A deep breath escaped from my th
~Zenaida~Darkness has finally arrived. Drake didn't show up himself to me and I already know why. He doesn't want to put himself in trouble and he really thought by not showing himself, my mind would change. I have my words and whatever I said earlier should be followed. Cassandra and Zoey finally arrived. I thought these two won't also come but then I was just surprised that they arrived exactly when I was about to leave.“Let's go?” They nodded their heads when I asked them. A smile formed on my lips and we began to walk to where the nearest bar was located. My friends knew the place and I can't wait for it. I can't wait to drown myself with alcohol, so that I could forget about Ares. It's the only way that I know can help me.“Are you sure about this, Zenaida?” I smirked from Zoey's question. They are still doubting about coming to the bar but I am really serious about it.“Yes, of course and we deserve this. Our lives sometimes need a break. Let's not just focus on work. We des
~Zenaida~I woke up early in the morning with a headache. I just barely remember what happened last night and how I got into my room. But the scene between me and Ares suddenly flashes into my mind. I mentioned something to him out of my anger. I could remember everything now and I was embarrassed to myself because of what I did. And most of all, I regretted saying those words to Ares. There might be an effect and I'm such a fool for saying those. I started to be nervous about what could be his action against my words last night. I'm being so clumsy and now I have a lot to explain to him. There was a little chance that Ares would believe me after last night but I need to talk to him. Therefore, I took a quick bath to look for Ares. Once I finished everything, I tried to find him in his office but he's not there. I just decided to go out of the mansion in the hope that Ares might be in there and I wasn't wrong.He was sitting on a table drinking his coffee. I was about to approach him
~Zenaida~I walked out before Ares could stop me. There's no use of staying with him. I don't want to push myself with him because I know it's impossible that he would fall for me. I just can't believe what happened to me.After everything that happened, I ended up falling in love with Ares. I already warned myself before that I will not allow him to tame my heart. I should be the one to tame his heart but it looks like I was the one being tamed. Ares tamed me instead and this is insane. Loving a ruthless Alpha King was a wrong decision. However, I couldn't stop my heart. I couldn't stop it from wanting Ares.“Zenaida.”I stopped walking when I suddenly heard a woman's voice. I turned my head to her and Isabella is what I saw. She was already crossing her arms, face filled with jealousy.“I want to talk to you.”A deep breath escaped out of my throat from what she said. I could already guess what she wanted from me based on how she looks at me.“If this is about Alpha Ares, back off.
~Zenaida~I never expected to read the note above my bed. It came from Ares and he wanted to see me in his office. He wanted to talk to me about something, about us. I just couldn't believe it, and now I'm stuck between going or just ignoring it. My heart was telling me that I should follow the note that he wrote but my mind was telling me that I will only fool myself again.“No, I will not see him.”I crushed the note and threw it in the trashcan before laying on the bed. I looked at the ceiling and the alpha's image flashed into my memory again. He doesn't want to leave my head, especially those words that I've read. Ares put a time in there when to come but I stayed on the bed. It's already an hour yet I couldn't decide what to do.I couldn't decide if I should see him or not but my heart says I should go. My heart was telling me that there's no wrong with trying. Ares wanted to tell me about something and now is the chance to know if he felt something for me. This is now my chance
~Zenaida~Ares didn't say anything. I just felt his lips already against mine which made me shocked. I could feel my eyes widened from what he did. My heart was still pounding so fast as Ares began to move his lips, tempting me to answer it. I used my hands to push him away but he didn't allow me to escape. Ares made sure that I couldn't get away from him and after so many attempts that I did, I ended up giving in to him. It's hard to resist, especially to the man I love, which is Ares. The anger that I felt earlier was gone after he kissed me on my lips.I wrapped my hands around his neck, letting myself driven by his kiss. Ares wrapped his hand around my waist and carry me. I just felt Ares putting me down on the bed. The way he looked at me, my anger and disappointment for him were gone. Ares moved his face closer to me and without further ado, he kissed me once again. I couldn't imagine that by kissing me, all the pain I felt because of Ares were gone. It was just a kiss but I ca
~Zenaida~After the intimate conversation between me and Ares, he brought me outside the room. My heart was still pounding so fast thinking that my life would change after we came out of that room. Ares was holding my hand and he didn't even want to let it go. I tried to pull it away but he didn't allow me. I just bend my head because I still can't find the courage to meet the eyes of those we met on the way. You know, this is new to me. I still can't believe that our agreement would become real.“Ares!”I tilted my head when I heard that familiar voice. My eyes widened when I saw Caroline with her daughter next to her, crying. I tried to pull my hand but Ares didn't allow me, so I gave up.“What's this all about, Ares? I thought you wanted my daughter?”I bit my bottom lips because of Caroline. I could still remember her threat last time and it's still fresh in my head.“That was just your thought, Caroline. Where did you get that idea, huh?”I was shocked by Ares' response. His resp
