The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 49
Chapter 49Dahlia.My heart felt like it was going to do a somersault when he finally started approaching. It was going to bust out of me any second.Yet, why don’t I feel scared? It’s like something draws me to him, but I don’t know what.I blinked back, my eyes still heavy with tears as I dragged myself out of that ballroom. I flinched when his thumb caressed my cheek, looking up to see his deep purple eyes staring softly at me.“Why the tears?” his brows scrunched, anger crossing his face.“Nothing.” His lips pulled over his teeth, and he growled. “Do not lie to me, kid.” His pure, dominating aura rolled over me like a pang in my heart, yet it was harmless. I could feel him trying to get me to spill it, but to my surprise, I could easily fight it back. Almost like I could resist it.The King stared at me as if realizing something, before he gives me a confused look.“Why is my aura not affecting you?” He asked, and I shrugged.“I…don’t know.” It was the truth. I had no idea why

Dahlia.It was stunning. Beautiful even. I can’t believe something like this actually exists in this part of the kingdom. The path on the way here I’m not gonna lie, looked like a staircase to hell. But as my eyes trailed from the stone path lined with flower beds and plenty of white rose on the side, I couldn’t help but gawk in pure awe.“Did you… built all this?” I ask in disbelief.Tatum chuckled, and when my eyes moved back to him I noticed he’d been watching me intently.“You can say that.” He replied.“It’s so beautiful…” my voice trailed off through a whisper carried by a strong gush of air from behind, making me jump.“It’s the vent. As you can see this place can’t survive without fresh air. I installed pretty large vents to help the air intake. Most coming from the outside.”I look at him, tilting my head.“This place is connected outside?”Tatum nods, pointing at the largest vent situated up the corner of two walls. “See that vent? It leads to the dark forest just at the ba

Chapter 51 Tatum’s POV TATUM – 17 years old It’s cold. My teeth chatter as they threaten to break and I don’t think they won’t. I’m not privileged to a goddamn health inspection when I need it the most. My teeth hurts and my gums are bleeding from taking Declan’s punches when last customer refused to pay me for being ‘soft’. How the f*ck could they blame me when their faces disgust me more than they arouse me? Old men who can’t come out yet refuse to either. They pretend the same sex don’t interest them but behind the scenes, they’re pigs who take advantage of teens to do their dirty work. Some only do it for money like me. Well, I think you could say that. The wind gushes and swooshes directly into me, I shiver violently from the cold. My back stings from the repeated lashes I received from Declan after the last guy practically threw me out of the tent. Usually, I would be rewarded with a bowl of rice if I did well, but some days, well, are just plain shit. And I have to fu

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

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

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

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.

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 123 - Final Chapter
Chapter 123 Hades’ POV: Three weeks later. Everything was revealed later that night. The dead bodies piled up in the room, Scarlet’s origin, and the rogues he’d been keeping in that private house Damien apparently gave to him after he’d been crowned prince. King Damien had been furious. Despite what he did, we chose to give him and the others a proper funeral, which will be coming up in the next few days. Hopefully by then, Dahlia will wake up, and accept the mark I’d given to her as my chosen mate. “How long has it been now?” Val asks, leaning against the door frame in my office. I shrug, “A few weeks. Three tops,” I reply and sigh. Val nods, and I look at him. “How’s Cathy?” I ask. “She’s fine, been trying to get her to take her supplements,” “Well, is she?” “Not without a bribe,” he chuckles, and I shake my head. Of course, he can get his woman to make love to him despite being pregnant. But then, it begs the question. “And what about Lola?” “Well, she doesn’t really
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 122
Chapter 122Hades’ POV:“Can we really trust her?” I groan. My beta insists a rogue shouldn’t be trusted, but I have a feeling I should.“Right now, she’s the only lead we got. If she is lying, I’ll give you a go signal. Kill her.” I tell him just so he could shut up already. He nods, but I know the reason he’s acting suspicious is because the last thing he trusts would be damn rogues leading us the way. Our pack is no stranger to rogue attacks, and for his account, he lost both his parents in one.We are currently moving in a large group with my warriors in my front, following Scarlet’s lead. She looks over her shoulder at me, when suddenly she skids to a stop.Because we are not connected to pack link, she has no choice but to communicate to us through gestures. She whines and proceeds to point her nuzzle to a wall.She’s shitting me, right?“What am I looking at?” I ask when I realize I have delivered the question directly to the mind-link.“She tricked us!” My beta snarls, and jus
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 121
Chapter 121Dahlia’s POVHis eyes widen and he instantly grabs the handle of the knife, only for me to push it in harder. Blood spews from his mouth, letting me know I have a chance. Diana comes forward when he tries to get up, lending me her strength to pin him down while he’s currently caught off guard. He growls, his eyes locked onto me in surprise, confusion, and wrath, but I don’t let go. Instead, I grip the knife tighter, pushing as much as I could before I twist. Suddenly, his mouth opens and more blood trickles from his lips. Then he makes a gurgling sound, and I watch him, my heart racing in my chest as I stare into his wide eyes.One minute turned to two as I held the knife buried deep in his heart while he constantly fights. His breathing becomes weaker and weaker by the second, and his inability to utter a word, I figured, is what prevented him from casting any spell. Then, he surprises me when he grabs my neck, yanking me forward. I shriek, holding onto the knife as he
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 120
Dahlia’s POV:I look at him watching me with lust and desire as he roams his eyes over my body. It heats and squirms underneath his gaze, yet I was certain it was none other than the bond making me feel such things. What else would make me look past whatever sick thoughts were going through his head, and everything he’d done up to present?Tatum leans forward, letting me know that somehow grabbed his attention. So I try to keep it by licking my lips seductively, placing my palms on the mattress before I begin crawling to him, stopping at the edge to spread my legs wide open.He growls, his eyes going to my center and I take this as a chance to put my arms around his neck as I pull him towards me. Thankfully, he obliges, but then he stands, shoving me back on the bed.Pushing my elbows against the mattress, I move my body further up the bed where the knife is. But Tatum doesn’t follow. He remains standing at the foot of the bed, staring at me with hooded eyes. My eyes move down to his
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 119
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 fee
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
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 115
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
