~Zenaida~Ares carried me like a bride as we went back to where our car was. I tried to convince him to put me down but he's not listening. He still wanted to continue what he was doing with me and I just let him until we returned from our pack. We were just quiet the whole ride and it's not because I was ashamed of him. It's because we just felt the moment of being with each other. Ares imprisoned me in his arms while we were traveling back. I just let him until I remember something.“What about your men?”Ares furrowed his brows. A smile formed on his lips because of my sudden question to him.“My men were able to escape before the game started. They are back to the pack now.”I was just surprised from what I've heard.“Do you mean, you already know that my sister's husband no longer has your men before the game?”Ares nodded his head that made me sigh. I really have no idea about what's running in his mind. I know I failed to ask about this earlier but I respect Ares. He's not oblig
~Zenaida~As I said those words to him, Ares stood up from sitting next to me. He turned his back at me, facing the window. I bit my bottom lips from what he did and I thought he was annoyed because I mentioned Alexander's name. However, I never expected what he said next to me.“If I just had the chance of killing him for you, I would have. Alexander was an ass for doing that to you. You didn't deserve to be fooled. He fooled you and if he was alive, I would kill him for your peace.”Tears started to form in my eyes again as I heard those words from him. Ares is sincere with the words he left and it's obvious based on how he looked at me. His eyes were telling me that he didn't really like the idea that I dream about him.“But he's dead, Ares. You have no idea how I wanted to attack him for giving me so much pain. He was the reason my life was almost destroyed. I would also kill him if he's just alive but no. He's dead and I can't do anything about it. I can't avenge what happened to
~Zenaida~After almost an hour of travelling, I noticed some houses on our way. I can't help but look at it. Upon seeing the place, all I could feel was relief. It seems like the place has a part in my heart that I couldn't even understand about. I've never been in this pack. I know that I didn't visit this pack but I could feel that I've been here before.On the other hand, I just felt Ares pressed my hand, which made me look at him. He was already looking at me, while his brows were furrowed.“Ares, what pack is this?”Ares let out a deep breath before answering me.“This is Moonlight Pack, Athena. One of my ally packs. This would be our first destination.”I nodded my head from what he said. I wasn't able to utter a word with him when Stephen already opened the door for us. Ares and I got out of the car and I couldn't help but be amazed upon seeing the place. The pack is beautiful as it is surrounded with beautiful trees and there were even plants in here. Although this is smaller
~Zenaida~Tears suddenly fell from my eyes as I heard those words from Audrey. She just mentioned to me that I looked like my mother's father and I've realized a lot of things. My mother and I didn't have a nice relationship. I haven't felt the love that a mother should pour to her child. All my life, I was like a slave who followed orders from them. She never defended me when dad beat me up. Mom didn't take good care of me when I was sick and just let the maid do their job. She doesn't support me when I make achievements and most of all, she wasn't with me when the Red Moon Pack wanted to kill me.All this time, I reminded her of her father, who she hated so much that she thought he didn't care about her. All the questions in my head were now answered. I thought I wasn't their biological daughter because of how they treated me. Perhaps, they were just being so rude to me because I reminded them about my mom's father. The Alpha who didn't give the pack to Ailani, my mother.And it hur
~Zenaida~I stepped back when a group of men entered the room. My heart started pounding so fast when I realized that these men in front of us were not part of Ares' men. On the other hand, I felt Ares' men beside me, trying to protect me from them.“Are you Ares' wife?”One of these men started asking me. I can't stop swallowing my saliva thinking what they want from me.“You are not allowed to come near us. Alpha Ares will not show you mercy!”I heard those words from one of my husband's men. They are trying to stop them from getting near us. However, the enemies seemed deaf. They started walking into our direction with a smirk on their lips. I know I wasn't trained enough to fight, but I will not allow them to stay close with us. I will not allow them to use me against Ares. Maybe by fighting back these men, I could already help Ares.“We are not scared about your Alpha. We need her and no one will stop us from getting her!” They ran into my direction. I just froze in my position
~Zenaida~Beta Stephen told us that they already found the body of my aunt not far from the village. She's dead already and it really made my heart shattered into pieces. I can't stop crying for my aunt's life. I just can't imagine that she would be gone this early. She hasn't given another chance to reconcile with my mother. Aunt Audrey died so early.The Moonlight Pack lost their Alpha already. Ares already found out those men that attacked my aunt's pack based on what the wolves said who lived here. The pack has an enemy from the neighboring pack and they are the reason for the attack today. Worse, Ares found out that the one who attacked the Moonlight Pack was also one of his allied packs. It suddenly angers me because my aunt's life was taken. That pack has to pay for killing her as well as for killing those innocent wolves because of their attack.We buried the body of Aunt Audrey. Darkness has finally arrived and we decided to stay the night. Ares was planning an attack for the
~Zenaida~I was looking at him, my eyes seemed shocked upon what I had heard. The way Ares told me that I was already his weakness brought so much confusion in my head. It also fears me because once the enemies find out about it, they would never hesitate to use me against him. Ares has to know that it's time for him to teach me. It's time that I should learn to defend myself. This way, he doesn't need to worry about me that much because I already know how to defend myself. Enemies can no longer touch me because I also have acquired the skills just like Ares.It's also a great help for Ares because he doesn't need to worry about me when enemies suddenly appear in front of us. All he can think of is the pack. As long as I could, I am willing to risk my life to protect his people, to protect the place who accepts me, and fight for the pack who gives me another hope.“Just teach me everything, and you will have nothing to worry about, Ares.”Ares took my hand and pressed his lips against
~Zenaida~ No one expected that I would come out from the car, not even Ares. He was in shock from what I did which made him unable to do something as the enemies turned their attention on me. They began hissing while their eyes on me. I know they are going to attack me but before they do that, I did prepare the gun.The enemies began running to my direction but before they could even come near me, I started shooting them, all of them. Ares and his men went back into fighting to help me beat these enemies. I never imagined that I would be able to conquer my fear when it comes with killing. If I was still the same as before, I probably passed out now when I saw blood but the moment I saw how they attacked Ares made me forget that I have fears. The thing that I was thinking from earlier is to save him. To help him beat all the enemies who dared to get on his way and this is what I am doing now.We are able to beat all the enemies and no one dared to fight him. The rest of the men from t
