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
We went to bed that night with troubled minds. If werewolves are coming all over from different packs just to join our pack, who is to say the people that tried to kill when I was a baby haven’t heard too. The next morning, I followed Jason to the pack’s border. Apparently he told them he wasn’t going to let strangers into our pack and they decided to camp outside our borders last night without questions. The guards on duty kept a watch on them the entire night, but they didn’t do anything strange. Which made things even stranger. “Morning Alpha, morning Luna” the guards greeted. “Morning guys” I replied with a smile, while Jason just nodded at them. “Anything happen?” Jason asked while keeping his eyes on the group of people camping not far away from our border. “Not really,” Gareth answered. “They have been quiet since you left last night. Honestly, it’s kinda creeping me out.” “Can you go ask them to send a representative so we can talk?” Jason asked. “Okay.” Gareth bowed and
Two weeks ago.“This pack seems to be unguarded. Should we check it out?” a male voice asked.“I don’t feel like adding extra work for ourselves.” the other voice replied. “Let’s just get what we are supposed to get for Damon and leave. You know how he gets when he doesn’t get what he wants.”“But come on. Aren’t you a little curious?” the first voice asked.“Fine. two minutes and we are out”They headed in and made their way to the field by following the footprints and witnessed something remarkable. They saw Jason use his flames whips, but the most remarkable thing was seeing Ares using her bow. That’s not something that happens everyday. They slowly made their way back out while they were occupied with Fiona. “Isn’t it a good thing I made us check it out?” the first voice asked.“Isn’t that the princess that Damon thought had died?” the second voice asked. “How is she still alive?”“Don’t ask me, Vincent.” the first voice said “I’m just as shocked as you are.”“We are definitely g
Jason’s pov“Jason,” Ares called my name softly. We were in the comfort of our room after she told me to take my time that she could wait.“I’m listening beautiful,” I answered.“Remember back when I told you I spoke to the moon goddess and my parents?” Ares asked slowly.“Yeah I do.” I replied. “Did she tell you anything?”“Yes she did” she answered. There was no look of worry on her face, but I could tell how uneasy she felt through the mate bond. Which made me uneasy too.“Please tell me.” I pleaded softly. “Don’t make me guess.”“Let me just start at the beginning.” she said. “When I met Josh and we went into your office to talk, well I found out that my parents died trying to save me and so did Josh’s dad. Who left as much information as he could for us behind before he joined the fight again.”I nodded my head and she continued. “Well, Selene just warned me about how the people that attacked are still alive and they know that I am too and they aren’t all forgiving.”“Basically,
Joselyn and her crew travelled west after their rejection from Jason. They kept heading west to where Damon was. Joselyn had to report what she had found to Damon. As soon the guards spotted them from afar, they opened the gates and let them through.Everyone with Joselyn departed as soon as they got through the gates leaving her to walk up to the castle doors alone. As she walked, she thought of how she was going to relay the information she found without triggering her death by his hands.“Let me through.” Joselyn said to the guards.“Why?” the first guard asked why the other eyed her entire body.“Because his highness sent me out on a mission,” Joselyn said. “Will you let me through or do I have to move you myself?” The guards moved out of the way, but informed Hale of their incoming visitor.Joselyn navigated the huge castle herself as she had been there before. She made her way steadily to the throne room where she knew Damon would be. She could already hear voices the closer she
Ares’ povSince I told Jason about the future threat we might face, he’s been multitasking. Expanding himself way more than usual. Having numerous meetings with Josh and the rest. He barely has time to cook for Adriana and I anymore. It took a lot of convincing to get Adriana to believe her dad was just busy and not avoiding her. She was worried she broke her promise of being a good girl.I wasn’t exactly avoiding Madison, but I didn’t want to worry her with talks of threats on our lives when she’s pregnant. So I did what any good friend does, I say hi and pretend like nothing’s wrong which I assumed Luke was also doing.“Hi. You are finally back.” I said to Lyla as I walked into the pack’s living room. She had been going and coming for about three days now, and I had a feeling she'd been back for more than an hour, but just didn’t want to bother me yet.“Hello, Ares. How are you?” Lyla asked. “I’ve been great. I’ve been patiently waiting for you.” I informed her.“Yeah. I had to get
