The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 17
S E V E N T E E N . Hades. The second we saw her in the airport for the first time in four goddamn years, everything just seemed to fall into place. Finally, she’s back. And about damn time. Our balls have gone blue the first year she was absent in our lives. Atlas started sensing something was suspicious about the fact that we’re not getting any sexual action for months. We never told him we were fantasizing about sharing his sister every fucking day. When we got to the airport, we had arrived just in time to meet her. At that moment I knew… I just knew that I needed to have her. No, Valerian and I both needed her. We agreed that no other girl is good enough for us, but fuck it. I just had to go ahead and mess it all the fuck up. There she stood. Her hair was dyed black and cascaded down her waist in beautiful waves. Her eyes still sparkled with that same innocence she had back then. I noticed she started wearing light make-up, which suited her all the more. Then my eyes
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 18
E I G H T E E N . Dahlia. I was behind Atlas when a tall, sexy blonde sauntered into the room with her head held high. Her blue sapphire eyes rounded in delight as she caught sight of the guys, or one of them. “Baby!” She squeaked and practically threw herself onto Hades, who catches her looking shocked. His eyes land on me and I quickly looked away. Tears burned the back of my eyes as I tried to look anywhere but at them. This sucks. I know, and I know I don’t exactly have the right to be jealous or anything but I just am. I can’t help it. Anger coursed through my every vein at the though of Hades betraying me. How could he? How could he take another girl to be his girlfriend? That should have been me kissing him all over beside Valerian. Believe it or not, the three of us had something special that night. I felt it and I felt it deeply. I cannot be mistaken. Somehow, we found our way back to each other and now this? “Sorry, did I make you wait?” She asked while making puppy e
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 19
N I N E T E E N . Dahlia. My eyes immediately went wide. A gasp already forming at the back of my throat but was stopped by none other than Hades. This dangerously sexy, alluring man who had lured me right into his trap. He was kissing me. In order to prevent me from doing something impulsive with my mouth, he covered it with his. The kiss was deep, intense, yet passionate in the same way I hadn’t really expected from him. Hades had always been the charming one of the two, and he always made girls fall hard for him before he eventually takes two steps back and stomps on their hearts, crushing them into bits of pieces until they are left almost unrecognizable. I struggled beneath him, trying to skim my way out of this hot mess where our tongues tangled and lips tasted one another like we have been deprived of something extremely essential to live. And I had just found out now, that it was his breath, his tongue, his lips, and hot tangled mess of a kiss that I’ve been missing
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 20
T W E N T Y . Dahlia. “Hi!” I whipped my head in the direction of the voice. To my dismay, I see Cathy walking over to where I was seated in a somewhat secluded chair in her barbecue party. Atlas told me how she was so adamant to invite me to her place when she heard I was coming home, when all I really want was to go straight to back or better yet, visit my Mom while I’m still here. Nonetheless, I pulled a fake smile before she approached. “Hello.” I greeted curtly. There was no need to introduce myself. Based on her actions, I think she has an idea of who I am. “May I?” She smiled, glancing at the empty chair beside me. I shrug. “Sure, go ahead.” She plopped down on her ass and scooted closer, making me real uncomfortable. “So, you’re Dahlia?” She asked, and I looked at her. Is this some kind of a joke she’s trying to pull? Atlas already introduced me to her in his house. But very well, if she wants to play pretense, then two can play at this game. “Yeah, how d
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 21
T W E N T Y – O N E . Dahlia. “Mate.” We said in perfect sync as the man looked deep into me. And just like that, time became frozen like ice. It’s as if there was only him and me as everything else faded into the background. My wolf, Diana, finally awakened, sniffing the air before she finally recognized our mate that was gifted to us by the goddess. Holy shit, this is really happening. The tall blonde with deep blue oceans for eyes stepped up to me. “Nice to finally meet you, mate.” He smiled. A smile that I must say would have made high school girls swoon. “I…” My throat went dry when I suddenly heard Valerian growl so deeply. Only to realize he had growled at me through mind link. It was quickly followed by Hades who growled in a much lower, quieter voice, yet no less threatening. I glance at them, for a fraction of second, and noticed how their eyes blazed like raging fire. They’re trying to warn me. One step towards my goddess-given mate, and I’d be fac
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 22
T W E N T Y – T W O .Dahlia. “Where are we going?” I ask, looking at my handsome mate who was tugging me right behind him, and I followed. He looked back at me and smiled. Damn, I didn’t notice he looked even better up close. His attractiveness lies on when you get a closer look. He stops suddenly, pinning me in a corner against the wall. My heart thumped erratically and I do not know what to do. Meanwhile, my wolf is over the moon just seeing, touching, feeling our mate this close. My heart pounded rhythmically with the throbbing of my head. His scent makes me woozy, I don’t even know why. Is it the mate bond? Is it how the bond is supposed to make me feel? All my life, my mother drilled into me the importance of mates. How we must cherish it, never let it go. I want to keep her memory close to my heart, so perhaps, I will give it a try. I lifted my eyes. Tatum looks even more handsome up close, the moonlight shining over his eyes as he stares down at me. “Wanna get ou
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 23
T W E N T Y – T H R E E . Dahlia. “You asked for me?” I ask once I finally managed to gather all my voice. Atlas stared out the window, watching the campfire and the others gathered round it. “Is… something wrong?” I press on. His back was turned to me. An omega brought me up here, saying my brother was up here. For some reason, he’d been staring out that window for a couple minutes now. “Dahlia.” He finally spoke, and I let out a sigh of relief. “Goddess, you scared me.” At times like this, I know something is definitely off. I could feel it, no matter how hard he tries to hide it from me. “So, what’s up?” I asked, plopping down on his neatly made bed. I grin, seeing as it got me a reaction from him. His brow twitched ever so slightly, glancing over to me with his brows all furrowed. I glance at his sheets. It was white and had no stains on it. Looking around the room, I noticed he still keeps it sparkling clean. I shrug. Guess some things never change. Sometimes,
The Dark Side Of Mates Chapter 24
T W E N T Y – F O U R . Dahlia. I don’t know why Lisa suddenly came to my mind. Yet it was still reasonable because I have known her since high school waving around the title of ‘Future Luna’ in my face. No matter how much I wished it wasn’t true, she is the Atlas’ mate. I was walking back to my designated room. Apparently, my brother’s house is certainly built a mansion because it had an east wing and a west wing. The omega even had to accompany me halfway because I’d be lost if I walked the long way on my own. Atlas told me the party has ended. Everybody had gone home. I wanted to ask him if Hades and Valerian had stalked off with Catherine, but I knew better than ask that. There was no doubt he’ll get suspicious and start asking questions. Questions I would hate to have the answers to. He also told me Lisa went on a vacation on her own as they had an argument recently. I turns out she was indeed crowned Luna a year ago when she officially turned twenty-one. Which techni

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
