The Dark Side Of Matesย ย ย Chapter 69
Chapter 69Dahliaโs POV:I could feel his dark eyes glaring daggers into me. Twiddling with my fingers, I kept my eyes fixed on my brother instead.Atlas cleared his throat and leaned forward with his elbows on his knees.โSorry to ask you this but, why so sudden?โ I knew he would ask me that because I told him Tatum and I wanted to start off as friends, and he approved it.I had no answer for that. I glanced over at Hades whoโs burning eyes are steady pinned on me. Hurt shone in his obsidian eyes, and I looked away.I opened my mouth, but no words came. To my relief, Tatum stepped up and spoke.โWe thought there is no point in holding back. After all, weโre mates.โ Tatum said, looking over at me. His hand extended to reach mine, squeezing it gently.In an instant, a low, rumbling growl resounded through the room. The sound coming from Hadesโ chest.Atlas shot Hades a look. Hades cleared his throat and began to intervene.โAre you sure about that? According to were law, it is forbidd

Dahliaโs POV:โHere we are, home sweet home,โ Tatum said while I gawked at his newly-furnished house. Earlier, I was confused why he did not head to the Alpha Kingโs territory. He smiled and said we are going to his house, not his fatherโs. I shrugged, but I did not expect his house to be a freaking mansion.My eyes drawled in the sight of the large, three-story building designed to fit the modern, contemporary style while keeping a light touch of wood, showing old-fashioned style as well. Inside, however, was the real deal. Every object screamed supreme wealth that surpassed even my brotherโs.I cleared my throat, trying to keep my dignity and composure as I nodded at Tatum.โThis way, Maโam,โ a small wispy voice made me turn my head to see a beautiful girl dressed as a maid, a wide smile plastered on her face. Her hair was blonde and had a fair complexion, with smooth silky skin. I looked her over when I noticed something weird about her outfit. It was quite revealing. Not too much

Valerianโs POV:โFuck! Fuck! Fuck!โ I heard cursing coming from upstairs. No one else is here when I arrived, and I have a feeling that was my brother punching the shit out of that poor wall.Rushing up the stairs, I stopped at the doorway when I see my brother, half-shifted, as he attacked the wall by Dahliaโs room repeatedly.Without thinking, I approached him. He growled, a low menacing sound coming from his throat.โGet off of me!โ he snarled, forcing me to stumble as I looked at him like heโs gone mad.Recognition flashes across his eyes and he came forward to help me to my feet.โShit, Iโm sorry, man. Itโs justโฆ fuck!โ he cursed. I furrowed my brows.โWhat happened?โHe went silent for a moment, and I waited patiently as his fur retracted to his skin. He lets out a deep sigh, โItโs Cathy.โ He started.My heart sank to my stomach as he mentioned her. Technically, she is his and I had no right of claiming her. I gritted my teeth.โWhy Cathy?โ I looked away from him, not wanting

Dahliaโs POV:I woke up smelling the most heavenly scent I encountered, the smell of the rain and forest combined. When I came to, I felt an arm draped over me. My ass is pushed up against something hard, then I stiffened.I jolted awake, my eyes moving to the man laying beside me who is no doubt my mate, Tatum.To my horror, he was topless, allowing me to see his well-formed pecs and ripped body and I cannot help assume he had no clothing whatsoever all the way down there.I let out a scream not long after realizing I am lying with a naked man in bed. โWhatโs going on?โ He snapped, blinking at his surroundings before his eyes landed right on me.โY-Youโre naked,โ I stuttered, gasping when his hand gripped the edge of the duvet before tossing it off of him. I squealed, covering my eyes immediately.โIs something wrong?โ I hear him say, but I refuse to look at him unless he puts some damn briefs on at least.โLook at me.โ I shake my head.โDahlia, look at me.โ He repeated, leaving me

Dahliaโs POV:I feel his eyes on me the moment I visit the dining area Ayesha had shown me the first time. Feeling his gaze on me, I felt uncomfortable. Despite the jacket covering my upper half, I knew he could still see my milky thighs which were left exposed. I was lucky to find a jacket. If I hadnโt, it would feel like walking out to the stage in a bloody strip club.โWhat are you wearing?โ he asked as his eyes rake over my body. I felt the urge to wrap my arms around me to hide, but his intense gaze kept me rooted in my spot.โI told you there must have been some mistake,โ I murmured, avoiding his eyes watching me intensely.โNo, I meant that.โ He said, pointing to my jacket.โI found it,โ I said, looking at him. His lips pursed, a hint of displeasure flashing across his eyes.My entire body stiffened, waiting for his next words.โNevermind, it is your first day,โ he gritted.โCome, sit.โ He said as he beckoned me closer.I stared at the ridiculous amounts of food on the table f

Valerianโs POVโMate,โ my wolf growled in my head the moment the door swung open, and there she was.The sweet scent hit me like a punch to the gut, making my chest tighten. Iโd avoided her for so long, hoping to escape this moment. But now, there was no turning back. She stood there, amber eyes wide, frozen in the doorway.โValerian,โ she said, her voice soft, โWhat are you doing here?โI tried to speak, but the words wouldnโt come. I couldnโt look at her without my wolf clawing at me to claim her, but my heart twisted painfully at the thought. โYou canโt have her,โ I reminded my wolf, who growled at me in response. I sighed.โIโโ I began, but then she stepped forward, crossing her arms.โYouโve been avoiding me,โ she said bluntly, her tone coming out sharper now. โWhy?โHer directness caught me off guard. My jaw tightened, and I looked away, my fists clenching at my sides.โAnswer me!โ she demanded.I snapped my head back to face her, anger flaring in my chest. I wasnโt angry at he

Dahliaโs POV:โI am sorry, I didnโt know,โ he whispers, kissing my forehead before he cups my face. He tilts my chin to look into his piercing forest green eyes. I felt drawn to them, mesmerized in the way they seem to suck me into their depth. Then he pulled back and tucked some hair behind my ear. I looked away, but his fingers pressed on my chin tilted my head back.โI will have someone collect your luggage and bring it back to you,โ he said, for which I was grateful.โIn the meantime, the manager called me and said your new clothes will be arriving first thing tomorrow morning because of some delays. So you would have to make do with the clothes given to you for a while,โ he said.โOkay,โHe nodded to me with a smile. When he moves to leave, I tugged on his sleeve.โWhen will you be back?โ I asked, not wanting to be left alone. โIโll try to be back as soon as I can, Dahlia, then weโll talk.โI am not sure what he wanted to talk about, but I nodded my head and watched him leave.

Dahlia's POV:It struck suddenly, a searing pain that radiated through my chest and brought me to my knees. I gasped, clutching at my ribs as my wolf whimpered in my mind.โWhat is this?โ she growled, her voice trembling with a mix of anger and confusion.I didnโt have an answer. All I knew was that the pain wasnโt mine. It was his. Tatumโs. Or rather, it was his pleasure, twisted into agony by the bond. My stomach churned as bile rose in my throat.โWhy does it hurt so much?โ I whispered, though no one was there to answer.My wolf growled again, louder this time. โFollow it.โI didnโt want to. Everything in me screamed to stay put, to ignore the bondโs pull and pretend it wasnโt happening. But the pain was relentless, forcing me to move. My legs carried me through the halls like they had a mind of their own, each step echoing the dreadful pounding in my chest.The sounds hit me before I even reached the door.Moans, loud and unapologetic, rang through the quiet hallway.

The Dark Side Of Matesย ย ย Chapter 123 - Final Chapter
Chapter 123 Hadesโ POV: Three weeks later. Everything was revealed later that night. The dead bodies piled up in the room, Scarletโs origin, and the rogues heโd been keeping in that private house Damien apparently gave to him after heโd 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 Iโd given to her as my chosen mate. โHow long has it been now?โ Val asks, leaning against the door frame in my office. I shrug, โA few weeks. Three tops,โ I reply and sigh. Val nods, and I look at him. โHowโs Cathy?โ I ask. โSheโs fine, been trying to get her to take her supplements,โ โWell, is she?โ โNot without a bribe,โ 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. โAnd what about Lola?โ โWell, she doesnโt really

Chapter 122Hadesโ POV:โCan we really trust her?โ I groan. My beta insists a rogue shouldnโt be trusted, but I have a feeling I should.โRight now, sheโs the only lead we got. If she is lying, Iโll give you a go signal. Kill her.โ I tell him just so he could shut up already. He nods, but I know the reason heโs 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 Scarletโs 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.Sheโs shitting me, right?โWhat am I looking at?โ I ask when I realize I have delivered the question directly to the mind-link.โShe tricked us!โ My beta snarls, and jus

Chapter 121Dahliaโs 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 heโs currently caught off guard. He growls, his eyes locked onto me in surprise, confusion, and wrath, but I donโt 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

Dahliaโs 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 heโd 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 doesnโt follow. He remains standing at the foot of the bed, staring at me with hooded eyes. My eyes move down to his

Chapter 119Dahliaโs 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. Thaliaโs, which means recently, heโd only killed one of the women though I have yet to see proof of Scarโs. That woman is tough as gold. Iโve 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.Itโs 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.โDahlia!โ A deep voice boomed in my head, and there was no mistaking it.โHades,โ Relief would have flooded me right in this instant, if only Tatum havenโt somewhat sensed it as he strode towa

Chapter 118Dahliaโs 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 canโt 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. Thatโs 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 hasnโt gotten to Diana, at least not yet. Wolfsbane, when injected directly to werewolves, could damage us in unimaginable ways, damage our wolf. โYouโre awake,โ a loud voice rips me out of my thoughts as I try to look in the direction it came from. My blood runs co

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 canโt ignore.The warriors are scrambling, trying to form ranks, but Iโm 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.โAlpha, thereโs been a breach,โ he says, his voice shaking. โItโs Tatum. Heโs taken her.โA jolt of ice shoots down my spine. The world around me slows, as if time is stretching, elongating, mocking me.Tatum.I donโt 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. Heโs always been a threat, but now, itโs a war I didnโt anticipate.I donโt think. I just move.The ground beneath my fee

Dahliaโs 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 hasnโt left my side since the confrontation at the border, his presence grounding and reassuring. Still, the weight of Tatumโs rage lingers in the air, heavy and suffocating.Hades stands by the window, his silhouette framed by the silver moonlight. Heโs tense, his shoulders stiff and his arms crossed over his chest. I can feel his emotions like a pulse in the air.โStop blaming yourself,โ I say softly, my voice breaking the silence.He turns, his dark eyes meeting mine. For a moment, he doesnโt say anything, and I see the war waging within him. Then he exhales, a sound heavy with frustration.โI should have never let you go with him,โ he says, his voice low but sharp. โTatum shouldnโt even have the chance to get near you.โI push myself up from the bed, my limbs still weak but my resolve strong. โHe doesnโt have me, Hades. Iโm here with you.โHis

Chapter 115Tatumโs 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 heโs won. He thinks heโs the better Alpha.But he doesnโt know what Iโve been through. What Dahlia and I have been through.Sheโs my mate. My wolf howls in agreement, pacing relentlessly in the cage Iโve forced him into. He wants to tear through Hadesโ chest, rip him apart limb by limb for daring to claim what isnโt his.โSheโs not his,โ 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 wonโt back down.โWhatโs the plan?โ asks my wolf, my other half. Heโs 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
