The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 40
Chapter 40Dahlia.Atlas cursed under his breath, sprinting towards the staircase when a seething, steaming red Lisa appeared in the hallway.“What the f*ck is she doing in our room?!” She screamed at Atlas.“Baby, that’s the guest room. Are you drunk?” “I don’t care! What the f*ck is that b*tch doing here?!”Atlas sighed, stepping forward to rub Lisa’s back in soothing circles. I roll my eyes.“I told you, she’s a guest. Besides, I need to look into her after what happened in the bar last night.” Atlas explained, yet it was crystal clear Lisa was not having it.“What happened?”“She was drugged. I need her close to tell me exactly what happened in that fucking bar. Because this don’t happen. Not under my fucking watch.” Atlas growled out, making Lisa freeze all of a sudden.Surprise flitted in her eyes before she quickly masked it, replacing it with her well-known anger.“Well then, tell someone else to do it! Why does it have to be you all the fucking time?!” she snarled, hatred an

Chapter 41Dahlia.This isn’t happening. This can’t be happening.“Mate!” Lola whimpered back.*****Walking alone I headed towards the park. I was in a desperate state to clear my head and get my shit together before everything around me crumbles before my eyes. My mind is a scattered mess, and I don’t know what to do when jealous is threatening to consume me and guilt is trying to eat its way into my nerves.How the fuck am I supposed to go about this? Hades has a girlfriend, and Valerian is mate to my best friend, Lola. As painful and shameful as it is, I have to admit I still crave for them. My body throbs, hurts for their lingering touch, the feel of their skin brushing against mine, as well as their tongues licking on parts of my body I never knew needed that wet, fuzzy sensation caused by each of their advances.They made love to me last night and now I am about to decide to go about my life without them, or spend every damn day dreaming about those intense, heated moments w

Chapter 42Dahlia.My eyes went up abruptly right after hearing that voice. How could I forget? It’s the same voice that ruined my trip here once she revealed just who she is.“Cathy!” Tatum looked at her with eyes wide in surprise.Catherine raised an eyebrow, narrowing his eyes at her brother who abruptly withdrew his hand away from me, making me all but sigh a breath of relief.“I-I…uh,” I tried to explain when Cathy lifted her hand, stopping me from saying more.“No need to explain. I see what’s going on here.” Cathy sneered, directing it towards her brother who avoided her gaze since the moment she stepped in our view.She smiled warmly at me, making me feel somewhat fuzzy deep inside. Her kind, warm smile reminded me of my mom, although she’d often scold me, not letting me off the hook whenever I did something stubborn.She shifted her gaze to Tatum. With a raised brow, hands on her hips, and a big scowl on her face, she looks like she was ready to go all out on scolding her son
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 42
Chapter 42Dahlia.Catherine, who insisted I call her Cathy, dragged me across every floor and every damn corner of the mall looking for the perfect ballgown. Apparently, her father heard that I was back in town, and he turned out to be best friends with my mother from childhood. Although I was not sure why my mother forgot to mention that part to me. Dad was all she ever talked about, she never mentioned having any other friends beside him, I mean friends of the opposite gender.So, in honor of my homecoming as well as another mysterious surprise announcement for Catherine, he decided to put on a ball for both of us, at midnight.It’s weird, right? I don’t even know the guy, and I’ve only met Catherine a week prior, and now I was about to have a ball intended for me, and Catherine.It would be a whole lot embarrassing if I didn’t go, since it was partly meant for me, and I have no other plans ruled out in mind. So, I said yes.“Yes. Why not?” I smiled at Catherine who was sitting acr

Chapter 43Dahlia.“You must be Dahlia.” He spoke, his deep voice sending me chills.He extended his hand, quite large which is to be expected from a bulky man like him. A warm, welcoming smile split on his face.Catherine nudged my elbow, snapping me out of my trance. “Oh, uhm. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sir.” I said and gripped his hand. I used Sir because I didn’t even know his name, which was my regret because of all the long hours I spent with Catherine this morning, I never even asked for her father’s name.He smiled, shaking my hand.“Please, call me Damian. I’m Catherine’s dad.” I nodded at him in politeness.“I’ve heard a lot about you from Scarlett, and my daughter.” He said, and I smiled. Scarlett was my mother’s name. Judging from that he used my mother’s name so casually, they must have been very close. I know that because Scarlett is not my mother’s first name, but second. And the only person who used that around her was my Dad. I can’t believe my mom knows someone

Chapter 44Dahlia.Damian smiled as he walked over to the railing where I was leaning on, his eyes scanning the forest below us.I closed my fists into balls, pursing my lips into a line. “How did you meet my Mom?” I asked, my heart pounding hard in my chest, not knowing why I felt all anxious around an older man. Well, not only is he an older man but the Alpha King himself. A smirk tugged on his lips. “Hm. Where to begin?” His eyes glistened as he looked deeper into the forest, as if in deep thinking. I waited patiently, giving him time and space to recall whatever he had with my mother. A few moments pass, when he lets his eyes glide from the forest before raising his gaze to lock with mine.Badump. “Scarlett was my best friend. My only friend back in the day.” He smiled, and I lean in attentively to hear more of his words.“Well, let’s just say I was the biggest introvert you could possibly meet in high school days. I never really learned how to speak with people other than comm
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 45
Dahlia.My heart thumped and thumped as I looked down at my closed fists. Not that I was anxious, it’s just that moments after sitting in the car, I felt a piece of paper in my hand. A note… Obviously, the note must have been slipped into my fingers by Damian, which is why I can’t stop hyperventilating in the car. I can’t wait to open it once I get home.Catherine went nonverbal the entire ride, and I didn’t say a thing afraid it would only make the air more awkward. Nearing my house, I hear her phone vibrate and she picked it up nonchalantly. Her screen was visible as she was sitting right by my side, and I saw her father’s nickname pop up on the screen.Daddy. My lips pulled into a thin line as the urge to call him the same thing suddenly came over me. I mentally shake my head, when I heard Catherine click her tongue.“What’s wrong?” I finally asked.Catherine sighed. “Dad is moving the ball to tomorrow midnight. He didn’t even say why.”I didn’t say anything. What was there to sa
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 46
Chapter 46Dahlia.I stared down at the note, blinking. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I wonder why he wanted us to meet. I licked my lips dry, my hands shaking when I folded back the note.Three knocks on my door had me gasping with a mini-heart attack. I crumple the paper in my hand, turn, and open the door.My eyes settled on Hades’ and Valerian’s obsidian eyes. I bit my inner cheeks when I see the silent rage in their eyes.They did not let me say a word as they forced themselves into my room, shoving me back that my ass bounced on the foot of the bed. I looked up in time to see they have locked the door and ushered themselves in.“Get out.” I hissed, baring my teeth as I do not appreciate being broken into my own room, even if these two sexy hunks technically own the house I sleep in.“Answers first.” Hades growled back, instantly making me shut up with the outrage in his voice.“What were you doing in the Alpha King’s Kingdom?” Valerian was quick to ask, and my eyes dart to h

Dahlia’s POV:Tatum held me gently and softly as he led me into the woods. He said he wanted to show me something. So I shrugged and let him take me there. Where we are going I had no idea, but I trusted him. He’s my mate, after all. My wolf purred feeling his body close, his scent, his fingers intertwined with mine. My wolf especially loved his scent. The more he got close, the more she purred and my body burned with desire, a need. Glancing over at him, I felt my heart thump and throbbed at the same time, knowing soon I would have to reject him. Then, guilt washes over me. Immediately, I looked away. I internally sigh, pondering over what I should do next.I have to reject him. I cannot and will not live through a year keeping Tatum around with no real intention of accepting him as my mate. I made up my mind after I left the house and got off Hades’ lap. Yet, I felt guilty.Is this the bond flowing through my veins making me feel these things or is it something else?My wolf huffe

Dahlia’s POV:I held my breath when he leaned in and sniffed me. Please don’t recognize his scent, I pray over and over in my head as my heart thumped.But to my surprise, he pulled away as if it was nothing. He revved the engine before punching on the gas.I secretly let out a sigh of relief. Thank goddess he didn’t pick up his scent. I have no idea why I was so scared of him finding out, when I should be upfront and just tell him already. My wolf howled in my head, preparing for what was to come. I told her my plans. I was going to reject him. I was going to reject my mate.I couldn’t find the perfect time to do it because he was sort of in a beast mode since this morning, making me wonder what has gotten into him that got him so riled up.Looking over at him driving, his eyes straight and focused on the road, I felt the urge to ask. Then I looked away, deciding against it. However, each second that passed my conscious was surely eating me up.There’s clearly something going on wi

Chapter 58Danielle’s POV:“You’re late,” he snarled. I quirked my brows, puzzled by his sudden change in attitude. Still, I felt an urge to apologize because of how angry he looks. “I’m sorry,” I slump my shoulders. I hear him sigh as he walks over to me. He takes my hand in his, making me look up. “It’s fine,” he grumbled, but his the expression on his face told me he was really unhappy. I peeked at his face but he suddenly turned away. Strange. Every time I see him, a smile is always plastered on his face. I wonder if there’s something that got him so riled up today. Nonetheless, I let him drag me to some café. He went ahead and ordered two strong-ass coffee drinks without asking me. I shrugged, thinking he’s probably in too much of a bad mood to ask. I let my gaze linger to the glass beside the counter, and my mouth watered at the sight. They displayed cheesecake tarts and other varieties of pastries such as croissants, which is ultimately my favorite. I know Tatum wa
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 57
Dahlia’s POV:Sauntering down the staircase, I spot my brother Atlas making coffee when he looks up and smiles at me.“Good morning,”I make my way over to the kitchen, glancing around looking for trouble.“Where’s your lovely luna?” I asked mockingly. Actually, I regretted calling her that because now I wanted to puke.Atlas took a sip of his coffee before answering.“How should I know?”I arched a brow.“She goes out in the middle of the night to who-knows-where, she never tells me anything,” he shrugged, sipping from his coffee as he sat on one of the stools at the island. I examine his appearance. His hair is disheveled, looking like someone had run their hands roughly through it and there were visible scratch marks on his neck. Those cannot be mistaken for an accident. If anything, he’d been in a sexcident all night long.“Really?” I scoff, my eyes looking pointedly at the visible scratch mark on his neck. He noticed and laughed, then goes to say something when his gaze went over
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 56
Valerian’s POV:I blinked my eyes. The sunlight pressing softly on my face had me pulling my brows in confusion and irritation.“Too bright,” I murmured under my breath, groaning as I turned over and buried my face in the pillow.Who the fuck pulled the curtains so early in the morning? I groan, annoyed that someone came into my room and messed up my fucking morning.“Good morning,” A soft, tiny voice whispered into my ear, making me jolt awake and look into her direction. My eyes widened at the side of a goddess. Her blonde, curly hair cascaded down her body in beach waves. Her freckles were more visible in this light, and her eyes twinkled beautifully as they reflected the sun’s blinding light. Cherry on top, she’s naked. So fucking naked as my eyes roamed down and further, right where I remember tasting her last night.Wait. I vaguely remember going to this room, and…Oh, yeah. It was Hades who asked me to trade places with him and even get someone to make me look like him as cover
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 55
Dahlia.It was just like that movie I saw the other night, where the woman plays coy and continuously provokes the man until he is no longer able to take it, and decides to take the prize for himself. Compelling her to give in, making her crave for more than just a tease here and there. I was that girl. Right here, right now, I want every inch of his body even if it means committing a sin. The world is sinful in its own damned, selfish ways. What is one, harmless sin, more?I lock my thighs around him, wrapping him as if I was afraid he’d escape and run off to some mating ceremony, getting mated to a girl that is not me. I won’t allow it.He’s mine. I growled as I met each of his thrusts. As he pounded into my flesh, I rocked my hips against him, just as desperate, just as passionate as the lust swimming in his beautiful eyes.I have never seen eyes like his, or Valerian’s. Not even Tatum’s is as unique, and I find myself drawn to them every damn time. It is why I can’t resist him.
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 54
Dahlia.I spent the day with Tatum, feeling like I’ve known more about him than I could in a lifetime. He told me all these fun stories, he’s even good at jokes, too. Even better trying to make a straw still standing on his tongue leaning his head back. He’s quite the joker, and I’ve never seen this side of him before. The first time we met, I was too distracted to actually see him for him. He’s my mate, and I know it’s the right thing to do; giving him a chance. After all, my biggest long-time crushes are unavailable now, leaving me all alone and trapped with this buzzing feeling, a part of me that craves them with every square inch of my body. I wanted them, but they were not meant for me. I tried wrapping my head around that fact by meeting up with Tatum when he rang me in the morning. He’s quite adamant in taking me out on a date, and he said it so sweetly and charmingly I couldn’t say no.Afterwards, he even walked me home and shared some funny stories with me on the way. I feel
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 53
Chapter 53Hades. I looked everywhere in this big-ass mansion, roaming around upending every nook and cranny of this place when I have to. Much to my dismay, I found nothing.Fuck. I ball my hands, feeling them shake uncontrollably by my sides. I couldn’t shake off the anger that’s bubbling inside me now and I want some sort of release. Leaning against the stone wall in this big-ass mansion, I swivel in my heel before landing a powerful, rage-filled punch on the wall. It cracked a little, but I didn’t give two shits if it cause the whole wall before me to collapse. Hell, I’d love to see the whole kingdom crumble if it meant finding her here. If it wasn’t for the Alpha King threatening to cut his funding and withdraw all his vital investments from our pack, I wouldn’t be having this fucking problem. And there’s the matter with my father, who indebted everything to him in the first place, making us a dependent pack. Let’s not forget his adamance in my marrying any she-wolf and providi
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 52
Valerian’s POV“Cover for me.” My brows raised.“Come on, man. It’ll just be until I find Dahlia.” I growl at him in frustration. When Dahlia walked away, he dragged me in this room and asked something of me that I promised myself never to do.“No fucking way.” I would rather make myself look like the old man in the wheelchair, sitting idly with a cigar in his fucking mouth.“No one will notice! Besides, you and I both know we look really alike if we try to look like the other.” I sighed. He’s right. We call ourselves brothers, rarely twins. But there’s no escaping that our features are fucking identical.“Fine, fine. Only until you find her.” I growled, watching as the smirk returned to his lips.“Very good, then. I’ll call her in.” Like he said, a woman with pencil straight hair and formal clothes marched in. I look at Hades in annoyance. He knew I fucking didn’t like it when a woman other than the little flower touched me.She must have noticed my displeasure as she laid her bag
