Surprised, I turned to see Marcus standing right behind me, his gaze fixed on the man.

The man immediately took a step back, bowing his head in respect. The other warriors straightened up, their alertness returning.

After a minute, the man looked up again, addressing Marcus, "Alpha, the selection this wom—"

"What she says goes. Do you have a problem with that?" Marcus's voice held an edge, his gaze piercing through the man.

The man seemed on the verge of bursting a vein or two, his face turning bright red. He swallowed hard, shaking his head, and returned to the crowd behind him.

As he looked up again, I met his eyes with a smug smirk, watching his anger intensify as the corner of his mouth twitched in frustration.

Marcus and I made our way back to the car, driving off from the scene. After half a mile, Marcus stopped the car, and stepped out. Opening the car door, he pulled me out and pressed me against the vehicle. His body formed a protective cage around me, his hands grippin

    I sniffled, my vision blurred by tears, and slowly lifted my head. Before me stood Ares, his hand tightly gripping the back of Stacy's neck. She appeared frightened, but she didn’t dare fight off his hold. The only word that escaped her lips was a breathless-"Alpha..." "What do you think you're doing?" Ares' voice was chillingly calm, but a storm raged in his eyes. I instinctively covered my exposed chest, realising my soaked white dress clung to my body, revealing my underwear. A broken sob escaped my lips and I quickly looked away, too ashamed to look at Ares. Fire blazed in Ares' eyes like never before, his anger consuming every inch of his face. He flung Stacy away without mercy, and she tumbled to the ground, her knees scraping against the rough surface, blood mingling with the rain. Ares seemed unfazed by her pain. Stacy, stunned and defeated, scrambled to her feet, her face a mask of disbelief as if she had been punched. "Alpha, she's not one of us. She's seducing Alpha

    "Alpha Ares left the pack house an hour ago for Miss Daisy.” He replied. “She is hosting a charity event.”"Sorry, Daisy...?"Zach elaborated, "Daisy is his childhood friend. She has been friends with all the alphas since they were kids. They grew up together."The name Daisy flashed in my mind, and I recalled the call in the room that day. When Ares had kissed me the first time.It was probably the same Daisy.Zach continued, "Alpha Ares never misses any event hosted by her.”"Okay," I muttered, forcing a smile. "Thank you."

    Every time he touched me, my body responded with a life of its own, and he acted as if it were nothing.I didn't want this to happen again. I was already drained from trying to handle his touch without overthinking about the relationship between us.Instead of withdrawing his hand, he threaded his fingers through my hair, caressing the back of my head and pulling my face closer to his own. His mouth descended on my skin, his tongue grazing the spot. His tongue traced a path along the sensitive spot, sending shockwaves through my body.I nearly lost my balance, my fingers clutching his hand for support, my nails inadvertently grazing the skin on the back of his head.His lips claimed my neck, teasingly grazing

    The frustration faded in an instant but it was replaced by an even deeper disappointment."But you said you were coming," he muttered into the phone. "Is there really no way? Can't anything be done?"The girl on the other end spoke a few words to him, words I couldn't hear, but they brought more disappointment to his face."It's alright. I understand."He hung up the call, his face marked with a sadness I had never seen before. His eyes lifted up and met mine in the front view mirror and it was as if that’s when he suddenly remembered I was in the car too. A shadow of regret came across his face immediately.I sat upright, fixing my clothes. My

Their clothes were tattered, washed out, and full of holes.…Rogues?I swallowed hard, shuffling back on the ground, my instinct urging me to flee from them as soon as I could.

    I entered the pack hall the following day. Thankfully, Kai hadn't returned to the bedroom the previous night. Despite my fear, I struggled to fall asleep until the early morning hours, constantly on edge, fearing his arrival at any moment. The lack of sleep weighed heavily on me as I made my way to the hall. Upon arriving, I noticed that everyone had already finished breakfast. Silently, I ate my own meal while overhearing hushed conversations and glances directed my way."Hey," a gentle voice caught me off guard from behind. Startled, I looked up and saw Ares standing before me.I stood up, the sudden movement making me feel dizzy. Ares swiftly steadied me, preventing me from collapsing, and helped me back into my seat.Taking a place in the chair next to me, he faced me directly. "Are you feeling better now?""Somewhat," I whispered, my voice barely audible, unable to speak in a loud voice without feeling a throbbing ache in my head.”"You turned out to be Kai's mate," he remarked
