The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 40
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

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

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

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.“There, you’re done.” Lola’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I was too occupied with my thoughts, thinking about what Hades said about Damian. The look in their eyes were too real to ignore. They wanted to warn me from him, but why?Lola smiled in the mirror, while I looked at myself, unable to believe what I see.I look beautiful. And not with my usual make up. To me, mascara and lipstick were enough to get me through the day, but this…This is on a whole new level.I smiled, turning to Lola. Wrapping my arms around her waist, I tugged her sidewards towards me. I felt like wanting to give her a hug.Although I told her I was going to do it by myself, she insisted to help. “I’m sorry for being an asshole,” I apologize, referring to the entire day of ignoring her when I found out she was Valerian’s mate.Lola patted my head.“It’s okay. I get it.” She sighed, her words prompting me to look at her in mild shock.“You know, even if we are mates, I don’t feel it.” I swivel

Chapter 119Dahlia’s POVIt took me a few seconds to realize how many boxes were stacked in this one room. Sixteen. The only thing that gave me a little comfort was that I only recognized one of the scents. Thalia’s, which means recently, he’d only killed one of the women though I have yet to see proof of Scar’s. That woman is tough as gold. I’ve been holding on to small hope that maybe, she escaped. I also noticed how Tatum disclosed so little information about her, that strengthens my resolve to believe he is lying.As long as I have hope, I can hold out a little longer. I have to.It’s taking longer than expected for me to reject the effects of wolfsbane, leaving me still in a paralytic state though my mind is conscious. Tatum turned his back for a second, when I felt the mind-link open up.‘Dahlia!’ A deep voice boomed in my head, and there was no mistaking it.‘Hades,’ Relief would have flooded me right in this instant, if only Tatum haven’t somewhat sensed it as he strode towa
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 118
Chapter 118Dahlia’s POV:I wake up groggily and groan, a loud ringing in my head as I try to gather my bearings. My head is pounding, and I try to lift my hand to massage my temple only to find it is useless; I can’t move, not just my hand, but my whole body seems paralyzed. Although I can feel my lips and tongue, meaning I can only speak but not move for the next couple of hours, or more.As I come to, I hear my wolf groaning subtly in the back of my mind. That’s when I remembered, Tatum. I stepped outside my room for a while to check on the shouting when I bumped on him out of nowhere. Then, he pulled out a syringe and injected me with wolfsbane.Wolfsbane! I gasp to myself.Relief floods me to know that the wolfsbane hasn’t gotten to Diana, at least not yet. Wolfsbane, when injected directly to werewolves, could damage us in unimaginable ways, damage our wolf. “You’re awake,” a loud voice rips me out of my thoughts as I try to look in the direction it came from. My blood runs co
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 117
Hades' POV:The moment I heard the commotion, felt the shift in the air, I knew something was wrong. My heart thunders in my chest, a nagging instinct I can’t ignore.The warriors are scrambling, trying to form ranks, but I’m beyond reasoning, beyond commands. My blood burns with the need to protect her. The faint rustle of movement catches my ear, and I turn just in time to see one of my warriors running toward me, breathless. His eyes are wide, panic creeping into his voice.“Alpha, there’s been a breach,” he says, his voice shaking. “It’s Tatum. He’s taken her.”A jolt of ice shoots down my spine. The world around me slows, as if time is stretching, elongating, mocking me.Tatum.I don’t know how he managed it, how he could have gotten this far without my knowledge. We were prepared for attacks, for skirmishes, but this... this is different. This feels personal. He’s always been a threat, but now, it’s a war I didn’t anticipate.I don’t think. I just move.The ground beneath my fe
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 116
Dahlia’s POVThe room is quiet, save for the soft hum of the heater and the distant murmur of the pack house settling for the night. Hades hasn’t left my side since the confrontation at the border, his presence grounding and reassuring. Still, the weight of Tatum’s rage lingers in the air, heavy and suffocating.Hades stands by the window, his silhouette framed by the silver moonlight. He’s tense, his shoulders stiff and his arms crossed over his chest. I can feel his emotions like a pulse in the air.“Stop blaming yourself,” I say softly, my voice breaking the silence.He turns, his dark eyes meeting mine. For a moment, he doesn’t say anything, and I see the war waging within him. Then he exhales, a sound heavy with frustration.“I should have never let you go with him,” he says, his voice low but sharp. “Tatum shouldn’t even have the chance to get near you.”I push myself up from the bed, my limbs still weak but my resolve strong. “He doesn’t have me, Hades. I’m here with you.”His

Chapter 115Tatum’s POVHades' smugness sends rage spiraling through me. I stand at the border of his precious pack, my fists clenched so tightly I can feel my claws biting into my palms. He thinks he’s won. He thinks he’s the better Alpha.But he doesn’t know what I’ve been through. What Dahlia and I have been through.She’s my mate. My wolf howls in agreement, pacing relentlessly in the cage I’ve forced him into. He wants to tear through Hades’ chest, rip him apart limb by limb for daring to claim what isn’t his.“She’s not his,” I growl, my voice low but laced with venom.Behind me, my warriors shuffle uneasily, their loyalty unwavering but their nerves visible. They know the risk of challenging Hades on his own land, but they also know I won’t back down.“What’s the plan?” asks my wolf, my other half. He’s infiltrated my mind with filthy thoughts these days, and no matter how much I want to shut him up, the thing is forever connected to me. The same way Dahlia is connected with me
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 114
Chapter 114Hades’ POV:Watching Dahlia in her sleep, it’s as if the whole world fades all around me. In this very moment, nothing else matters. Nothing but the woman sleeping soundly on my bed. She looks so beautiful, and the sweat that glistened on her forehead and her disheveled hair did nothing to compromise her natural beauty.I lift my fingers and slide my index and middle finger gently up her cheek, admiring her and her soft features as she sleeps.My eyes move from her dark eyebrows, long, thick eyelashes and freckles scattered on her face.“So f*cking beautiful,” I purr, “And so f*cking mine,” I murmur under my breath, when my wolf huffs.“Not yet, she isn’t,” he says, and my brows furrow.“What do you mean?” I ask.“Look at her neck,” I move my gaze down her snow-white neck, and found a small bite mark, right where her mark sits on her neck. The mark on her neck mocks me, a bitter reminder that she belonged to that bastard.“Not for long,” my wolf growls, and I suppress a

Dahlia’s POV:Slowly, brutally, he pounds into me, letting instinct take over as our arousal lace in the air. It’s purely maddening, addicting even as he drives his cock in and out of me, when he suddenly lifts my other leg and places it on his shoulder before thrusting back in, going as deep as he possibly can in this angle and hitting my g-spot perfectly.“Oh… Hades…” I moan as he continues with his pounding. I can feel his balls slapping against me and goddess, I want more. At this rate, he’s going to make me self-combust with the aching need to feel him deeper…Just when I thought he can’t get any deeper than he is now, he lifts my hips, my back suddenly in the air as he thrusts quicker, harder than I thought was possible. “Hades!” I scream, my hands ripping into the air as I tug on his hair. My hips buck, eyes roll to the back of my head when I feel it.He groans. And I feel his thrusts slow briefly just as my hips buck against him. He growls before picking up his speed, and a m
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 112
Dahlia’s POV:I woke up feeling hot. Literally. My body feels like it’s been under the scorching sun for too long that when I woke up, I feel like I had just come fresh out of the oven when instincts finally kick in. My entire body is flush, feeling like it’s about to burst any second if I don’t satisfy my need, my pulsing, aching desire to touch and feel something moving inside of me. And when I open my eyes, I see him, and the ache grows ten times even stronger. Hades sits in front of me with a curious look in his eyes, amused even. His eyes follow my every move, and I feel every bit of need to feel him close to me, so close there should be no space left between our bodies…So when I try to move closer and feel him on my fingertips, a new sense of anger and irritation builds up inside me when he refuses my every touch.Yet, the sounds I make to express such anger comes out as a loud moan, all while feeling the need to have him closer burns on my skin. “Hades…” His name tastes deli
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 111
Hades’ POV:My eyes widen, and once again I am slammed with her mouthwatering scent, which seemed to strengthen my senses and awaken my innermost desire. Lust swirls in her eyes as she crawls onto my lap, the slightest graze of her hand against my crotch has my cock twitching. I lift my eyes to see her watching me hungrily, her eyes completely black in her haze. She moves closer, sliding her claws down my sides before she leans forward, breathing heavily when I feel her lick my face. She purrs, and I clench my jaw. Her hands fall on my abs, and I groan when she moves lower.I grab her wrist and her hip with my other hand on the small of her back and press her against the wall. She lets out a small moan that makes my wolf growl with the need to fuck her senseless. I growl. She has no idea how much I want to fuck her until she screams but right now, here isn’t the safest place to satiate her needs.As much as I wanted to claim her right here and now, I can’t do so without risking us bo
