Dahlia. “Oh, leave her be. She must have been up all night using her phone.” I hear Mom sigh. Gee, thanks for the save Mom. And what does that have to do with my face being red? I swear, elders nowadays think cell phones are the culprit for everything. The question is, do I have a better excuse? Unfortunately, no. No, I don’t. “Yup, that’s it.” I nod and stretch my arms out with a yawn, to make it more believable. I closed my eyes, thankful I got to block out the two from my view. When I opened them, I didn’t expect what happened next. They all gave me weird looks. My brows furrowed, confused as to what they were looking at. My eyes moved to where Hades and Valerian stood, and their faces were the same. Their mouths slightly parted, and their gazes fell on… My jaw dropped and a gasp tore through me in an instant. “What the f—” “Dahlia!” Mom’s sharp voice cut me off before I could finish. I roll my eyes. I swear to the goddess, the woman could hear a pin drop from miles away. “Dahlia,” My heart stopped. I turn to look at my brother, his eyes darkening. “Fix it up. Now.” He’s referring to my blouse. Apparently, I forgot to button it all the way up, exposing a lot of cleavage. The tone of his voice was sharp and commanding. It sounded like a warning. I knew better than to disobey Atlas. He gets… overprotective sometimes. Besides, I couldn’t stand having my cleavage exposed to those guys back there. Especially with the way they were looking at it… I shake my head, trying not to think about it. But those eyes… “Get it together, Dahlia,” I whisper, staring at the mirror. Holy shit, Atlas was right. My face was red. Is it just me or is it getting rather hot in here? But I just showered, and it feels like my cheeks are on fire. I’d probably melt ice if I put some on them. I took off my jacket, tossing it in an open seat. Since I’ll be getting a ride with the hottest, most wanted alphas in Jackson High, I won’t need it. From what happened earlier, I am a hundred and ninety-nine percent sure that the weather wouldn’t affect me one bit. I’d be more worried about the condition happening inside my body. Like right now. The sound of a car revving outside our house had me sprinting to the door as fast as I could. My stomach growled, but I didn’t have the time, or the right, to sit my ass down on that kitchen stool anymore. Mom didn’t miss the chance to throw me a glare. I passed by her pretending she wasn’t there. I better hurry before Atlas drags me into— Oh. My. God. My mouth falls open. I nearly choked on my spit as I took in the enormous vehicle before my eyes. “THIS is your car?” I can’t help but emphasize just how ridiculously huge it is. I know a little about cars. This one, I’m pretty sure, is a brand-new fucking Hummer H1. The latest model, I think. It’s my dream car. So pardon me if I can’t help but gawk at the sleek nightshade black vehicle in awe. “What’s the matter, Dahlia?” My brother looks at me like I’m the crazy one. How could they even afford this? “You like it?” Valerian suddenly appears beside me, making me jump. The guy gives me instant goosebumps and mini-heart attacks whenever he’s close to me. I felt my face heat, again, but I refused to make it obvious this time. “Yeah.” I shrug, holding my breath while pretending I wasn’t in the middle of a mini freakout. “You like riding it?” That’s a weird question to ask. I swallow, “Well, I guess…” I did not know what to say. And the crazy thing is, his question made me feel awkward. Not the cringe-awkward but the hot type of awkward, if you know what I mean. “I have something else you can ride.” Hades smirks, sending me a wink. I was beyond stunned. Is he flirting with me?

T H R E E . Dahlia. “You two, knock it off. She’s off-limits.” Atlas growls. My brows twitch at his words. I try to push down the anger building inside me. He’s my brother AND the future alpha. Mom told me not to get on his bad side, but what the hell? Deep inside, I felt disappointed. They were all I had fantasized about in high school. Why does Atlas have to ruin it all for me? And since when did he get to decide who I could and couldn’t date? I seal my lips shut anyway for the entire drive. In the end, I regretted not bringing my jacket. I wasn’t feeling it anymore. Atlas tried getting me into their little conversation but I just plastered on a fake smile and laughed if necessary. He had me sit on the passenger seat while the guys jumped on the back. Then I realized… Isn’t this their car? Why the hell is Atlas driving it and not one of them? Unless… No. My brother couldn’t be that petty to ask them if he could drive just so… Damn it. He did, didn’t he?

F O U R . Dahlia. “Earth to Dahlia!” She practically shrieks in my ear, making me stumble and almost fall face-first to the ground. “What?” Before I knew it, Lola was walking beside me. “What has gotten into you? Why did you run off?” Lola stared at me, her eyes demanding answers. “And what were you talking about with those guys?” she asks with a raised brow. I mime zipping my lips and she narrows her eyes at me. She clearly wasn’t satisfied, so I was about to tell her when someone brushed hard against me. This time, I really felt like falling face-first. Thankfully, Lola snatched me up and pulled me back to my feet. “Watch it, Lisa.” Lola hissed. Uh-oh. This is so not good. “Oops, my bad. Didn’t see you there, virgin.” She snorts, her eyes mocking me as she places her hands on her hips. Her two minions posed behind her. One on each side. They giggled at the name Lisa called me. My cheeks heat. “Can you believe it? My mate’s sister is a frea

F I V E . Dahlia. I blink five times faster, staring at my bag. “Hey, what are you looking at?” Lola nudges my back. In this class, Lola always sits right behind me. Atlas sits on her right, and Hades and Valerian sit at the far back. Before I could stop myself, my gaze flits to the guys at the back. As if they could feel my gaze, their eyes snap in my direction. Valerian tosses me a smirk while Hades' lips tugged upward into a smile. Quickly, I turn my gaze to the front. This cannot be happening. "What's wrong with you?" Lola asked me after class. "Nothing." Bullshit. What I saw in that bag is anything but. Lola sighs. For once, I'd hoped she'd let it slide. "So, what do you say about this pool party after grad?" "Huh?" "The pool party. Come on, everyone is talking about it." "I'm not." Lola rolled her eyes, not amused. Lola here loves parties. I, on the other hand, loves spending my time with books and N*****x during the night. Sometimes I wonder how we manag

S I X .Dahlia. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing in the mirror. I couldn’t believe it myself, but there was some truth in what Lola said.The swimsuit fit me like a glove. I always wear baggy jeans and shirts to cover my entire body. I have always been conscious of my body. Contrary to the usual simple Dahlia who don’t even care if a hair was out of place before going to school, this was new.It emphasizes my full breasts and slim waist going down to my thick thighs. I know I’m not really fat. Fat is a strong word. Thick is more like it.“You don’t look too bad yourself, Lola,” I smile to my friend who smirks at me before she does a quick spin.Her two-piece green swimsuit with beads scattered on all the right places definitely showed off her curves. Her eyes are emerald green, and they go perfectly well with the swimsuit she wore.“Thanks. Now let’s go and give that big brother of yours the shock of his life,” she says with an evil grin on her face.What she said made me jump bac

S E V E N .Hades.‘Fuck. Just look at her, Val.’ I growl through the mind link I opened with my brother, Valerian, who is gawking at her as we speak.‘Even better than we imagined.’ He grumbled.‘But I think we might have gone too far with this one because I want to rip the fucking head of each unmated male here who couldn’t take their eyes off what’s ours.’‘Not yet, Val.’ I warn him, and he could barely keep control of his wolf. It’s clear he wants blood. But I couldn’t blame him.The moment she walked out here with that thing on, I saw red. The unmated males here are almost drooling at her feet. I even heard some of them whisper about making a move on her. But they would know better than bring hell where they stood.It seems we have to make sure they know little Dahlia here is off-limits. I will make sure of it.“What the fuck is that?” Atlas all but growled where he stood beside us. His grip on the beer growing tighter. Oh no, this isn’t good.“What is what man?” I ask him.“What

E I G H T .Dahlia.I won’t forgive him. He is so ridiculous and out of reason! All I wanted was to have a fun night after graduation.It was when he mentioned Dad that I started falling apart.Seriously, I don’t know what his problem was. Or why he keeps pushing me around trying to control me. It all started when Dad died, and he started getting all overprotective over me.I don’t know what has gotten into his head, but what he said crossed the line.I slammed the door closed behind me. When I ran all the way here, I picked a random room upstairs where I hoped no one could find me. I knew Lola would come looking for me. She’s the best friend ever. That is precisely why she cannot see me break down like this. Not over my brother. It’s stupid, I know.I pressed my back against the wall, sliding down I hugged my knees and buried my head down. I cried and cried until I was sure I had no tears left to cry. When I was feeling better, I decided to head back. Lola must be worried sick about m

N I N E .Dahlia.“Right here, right now.” He growled into my ear. I swallowed when I felt his fingers shove my panties to the side. My eyes went wide just as he pushed a finger inside me, then another one.“W-Wait… please…” I pleaded. But their hold on me was overpowering.Valerian lowered himself to my breasts, popping one out from my bra. The cold night air swept over my skin and I hissed.“Hmm…” Valerian stares at it, licking his lips. Then he moves to pop the other one from hiding.His hands reached out to grab them. This time feeling his hands on my bare breasts made my head throw back. If Hades wasn’t there, I would have fallen ass-first on the ground, but he was holding me in a firm grip while fucking my wet pussy in slow motion. Slowly, Hades lifted my other leg up while I felt Valerian’s tongue lap on my nipple. I moaned.“So hard…” He mumbles softly between sucking and nibbling my nipple, while his other hand cupped and massaged my other breast tenderly. His touch was strong

T E N .Dahlia.“Are you sure about this?” Hades asked, eyeing me with his piercing silver orbs.I nodded, feeling impatient. I began pumping two fingers in and out of me, making them watch.Valerian growled, and oh fuck. How that sound could turn me on more than I realize. If only he’s growling as he pounds into me now…Valerian moves to undo his pants. He didn’t need to pay any attention to clothes on his upper body because he didn’t have any. These two are standing topless with their shirts on when I saw them. I could see every inch of those bulging muscles and ripped eight-pack abs on each gorgeous body, making me drool.I want them, and I want them now. I pumped my fingers faster, staring at their huge cocks the whole time.I didn’t imagine how huge they could be until Valerian pulled down his briefs, revealing a fully-erect cock staring right back at me.Oh. My. god.I have seen cocks before online, nothing like this. I gulped down saliva that almost dripped from the corner of my

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

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
