Jason's Pov“Do you think something's wrong?” Josh asked as he paced the room “she's been asleep for two days!”“She is just resting,” I said. I really hope that is what she's doing. “I'm sure she'll come around soon”After Ares passed out two nights ago in my arms, she hasn't woken up. James allowed us to stay until she recuperated.Her parents have been coming five times a day to check on her. They stay far away and just ask James how he's doing. Their actions show how bad they feel about what happened to her.I've given permission for Cain and Killian's pack members to return back home with the promise of holding a meeting soon with them to thank them for their help and give them a run down of what happened.“I think we can travel with her now.” Josh said “surely, you must know how Adriana misses you. Plus I'd like to see my mate and assure her I'm still alive”I took a deep breath. He was right. I do miss my daughter a lot and I know if I stayed any longer, she'll be hard to conso
Ares’ Pov“Just because I said I gave a piece of my soul to Athena doesn't mean you should expand yourself to this point” Selene said. “What were you thinking, child?!”“Am I dead?” I asked fearfully. I didn't want my thoughts to be true, but if it was then I'd gladly accept my fate. At least I know I died saving Jason and all the others.“Not quite,” Selene said “but if you had pushed more than you had, you would be dead now”“So how am I here?” I asked “wait! Is this another warning? Does it ever really end?”“You are as dramatic as your father,” she chuckled. “No, this isn't another warning. When you passed out, your subconscious must have wanted to come here and having Athena's soul back made it happen”“How can I go back?” I asked, “Jason must be so worried.”“All in good time.” She said “Give yourself a chance to recuperate” “But..” I started to protest.“Do you want to miss a chance to spend with your parents while you are recovering?”“There's no way for me to go back right n
Jason’s PovAfter we got back last night, I carried Ares up to our room. I wasn’t surprised to see my daughter laying there. I laid Ares gently and kissed her head and my daughter’s, softly. I could have cuddled with them both, but I didn't want to risk waking Adriana, so I sat on the chair at the far corner of the room and watched them both as they slept peacefully.The night felt the longest it had ever been. I watched the sun shine through as the morning finally came. Both my girls were still sleeping. I went downstairs to make breakfast for Adriana after brushing my teeth and washing my face. It's been a minute since i did that. When I finished, I took themeal up to our room and covered it up. Went to her room and got her toothbrush.“I promise to be good if you wake up” I heard my daughter’s voice from behind the door. She was awake and definitely speaking to Ares. I pushed open the door. When she saw me, she jumped from the bed into my arms.“Daddy!” she said excitedly.“Hi, bea
Ares’ Pov I know Jason is surprised by my action, but all I could think about at that moment was how much I wanted him and how long it’s been since I’ve been with him. Like with him, with him. “Baby, you have no idea what you are asking for” Jason whispered before flipping us over with me under him. He trailed his hands softly down the sides of my body before bringing his left hand to raise my head up for a bruising kiss. The force of the kiss forces me to arch my back off the bed. He growled into the kiss before breaking away to kiss my mark. My nipples hardened to a painful point and Jason wasted no time tending to it. He sucked the first into his mouth while he fondled the other with his hands. Pleasure coursed through my body at an unprecedented pace. I released a sigh of contentment the more he touched me. Groaning and moaning with each pleasure. “I've missed you so much, love” he said “especially those little sounds of pleasure you make.” “Don't tease me Jason” He didn't
We had our, got dressed and headed downstairs together. I was surprised to not find anyone even as we made our way out of the pack house.“Where is Everyone?” I asked Jason when I couldn’t hold it in anymore.“They are already waiting for us at the hall.” he answered “I called them while you were still dressing up” I nodded without pausing my movement.We simply held hands as we walked the rest of the way to the hall. I hear voices as we get closer to the hall. The air was buzzing with energy and positivity.The minute one person saw us he stopped talking to his friend and started clapping, then his friend joined in and soon the entire hall was in an uproar and we slowly made our way to the stage together.The applause continued on for the next two minutes before Jason signalled them to stop.“Evening everyone” Jason smiled at the crowd and received beaming smiles right back. “I’m sure by now you all know what happened the last few days” the crowd nodded.“Well, I’m going to give you
Jason’s povIt was strange seeing Ares talking to Lyla last night. She used to suspect her, but suddenly they seemed close. There was a sense of familiarity and a new bond that had formed between them.“Josh,” I called as I walked towards my parked truck. “Meet me at the border in five minutes, you’ll be going with me to Killian’s pack” I informed him.I drove steadily to the pack’s border and found Josh already waiting for me. “Get in.” We drove steadily to the Jade wolf pack. I still have to properly thank him for his help.Two hours later, we slowly pulled up at the Jade wolf border. The guards let us through after confirming our identity. I even recognise two of the guards. They went with us to Maverick’s pack. They had a look of awe on their faces as we nodded in their direction.We pulled up and made our way over to his office. I’m sure the guards already informed him of our arrival. As if confirming my thoughts, he was outside already waiting for us.“Jason” Killain said as he
“When you say leave, what exactly do you mean?” I asked seriously. I was seriously confused about what brought this on. Did he feel mistreated at the pack? Was he still scared about losing his parents? Was he too stressed at work?“I don’t mean it in the way you think” he tried to hastily explain.“Please help me understand,” I said. “I just want to move out of the pack. Everything is fine.” he said in his usual calm tone “I mean Luna is fine, the pack is safe and now just feels like the best time to find my own thing” he finished“You want to leave because the pack is safe?!” I asked “okay, where exactly are you planning to move to? Another pack or something?”“I’m thinking of moving into town. With the humans. It will let me be closer to the job and clear my head” Cole said “plus I don’t have the best memories here or anywhere actually and I’d really love to make some.”“Is it because of the rejection thing?” I asked in concern. “What about your sister and your aunt? What do you p
Ares’ Pov“Come on. It’s one party until you leave us.” Madison whined to Isabelle again. Trying to convince her to come to the party we were throwing her. “I’m sure your mate wouldn’t mind waiting one more day. Back me up here Ares”“Yeah. She’s right. I think James might understand.” I offered her a small smile. “He’s going to have you everyday from tomorrow. So just give us the rest of today.”“Fine. Fine. You both suck at convincing someone,” Isabelle chuckled a little. “But I’ll go if you stop trying.” She finally stopped packing. “So where is this party going to be held?”“The living room actually. We could just have wine, eat and say our tearful goodbyes.” Madison said. “Plus I have news that I’d like to share with you.”“What news?” Isabelle and I echoed after each other.“More reasons why you should party with me” Madison said in a sing-song voice.“You definitely got my attention now,” Isabelle said, dropping the clothes in her hands.“Athena, I know I’m supposed to be letti
