Jason’s pov I didn’t know which direction to head to that would have led me to Josh, so I can warn him about his father still being alive. I checked around, and decided to trust that Josh would figure it out eventually. The more I looked at Damon's still body, the more I came to terms with the fact that it is all over. I can settle down and just be with my mate now. Have kids, grow old, and do everything we want. A few seconds later Josh and the rest gathered outside. I could see the old man with Josh, which means he figured it out. Damon be damned. I was still too exhausted from fighting him, but I can’t wait to leave this place. The walls scream about a lot of pain and sorrows. “Is everyone here?” I asked, looking around. “I think so.” Luke looked around before answering. I double checked to confirm that they were all there before I gave the go ahead to leave. “Alright we are leaving, now,” I said. We started heading towards the gate again when a group of people ran out from wh
Ares’ povMan, did he take the reunion seriously. For someone who had just returned from a serious battle, you would think he would have preferred to rest or something. Jason reunited with me into the night. Over and over again, until we both fell asleep too exhausted to continue. Not that I’m complaining about it, but you know.The next morning came, but we were too tired still sleeping in from our previous night’s exercise. We trusted that one of the pack’s caretakers would take care of Adriana for us. I woke up to his handsome face beside me. I explored every inch of his face and body with my eyes and hands. Studying his body.“Hey, beautiful.” Jason whispered, as he saw me awake. “I can feel your eyes all over my body. If you still want more, all you gotta do is ask, and I’ll give you more.” he gave me a lazy smile.“Shut up,” I laughed. “How do you still have the energy for more?” Is he trying to kill me? I might heal quickly, but I don’t think I have the energy to continue. “It
Ares’ pov.I wasn’t sure if I really wanted to rule, but I wanted to know if he would do it with me. He looked at me and smiled. And I knew his answers before he even said them. “I would do anything for you,” he stepped closer to me. “If ruling is what you want, then I’ll do it with you. It will be hard, but I’m sure we will manage.” I knew at that moment that I couldn’t have asked for a better mate. “I love you,” I whispered. That was all I could say. I summarised all of my emotions into those words. His mouth stretched in a smile before he replied.“I love you,” he kissed me deeply and I felt all of his love for me. We only broke apart when we heard the report from the guards on duty at the pack’s border. They have gotten used to reporting things to me since I became in charge.“Luna, Alpha,” he greeted first. “There are some old people here, claiming Alpha extended the invite for them to come.” one of the guys said.“It’s the people I was telling you about,” he said out loud.“Le
Ares’ pov “Hello, sir. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’ve wanted to thank you for saving my life since I heard you were still alive, but I heard you needed time to recover after the ordeal you went through,” I said slowly. “I need no time to recover. I only wished to see you,” he said. “You look just like your mother. It’s wonderful to see again after so many years really.” “It’s all thanks to you.” I said. “If I may ask, what really happened that night, after you left?” when I had asked mum, she had told me, she never saw him return. “Ah, I remember it just like it was yesterday.” he started. “The kingdom stood on the precipice of destruction, its once glorious walls now marred by the scars of war. After leaving you both behind, I went to look for your parents. I held my sword tightly, slaying anything that came my way. The clash of steel against steel, echoed about the walls. I could hear snarling and growling in the distance as the others fought in their true form.`` We all li
Jason’s pov“I love you.” I said to her through the mate bond.I sent her all of my feelings at that moment. First she accepted my daughter, now she’s fully accepted me into her life, and I couldn’t be more grateful. “I love you,” she replied, stretching her hands towards me. “Focus.” She reprimanded me. How can I when she just denied her surname and took mine instead.“I figured you would,” a new voice said from the doorway. We all looked up to find Lyla walking in with a smile. “But either way, you need to continue your parents legacy. You need to get everything in order.”“Lyla, welcome.” I said with a smile. Of course she would know where we are. She must have known we were looking for her, and came here straight. “We have been looking for you.”“Lyla, it’s been a while. You haven’t aged a day since the last time we saw each other,” Josh’s dad said, as he got up. “I’m seeing so many faces I never thought I would see again.” he said with a smile. “How have you been?”“You know each
Jason’s pov“I plan to meet with Luke later and explain things to him,” I said to Ares as I got ready to go to my home office. I looked over to watch her as I finished getting ready. She looked absolutely perfect.“That’s fine with me,” she replied, kissing my cheek. “I trust all of your decisions.” I smiled and gave her a deep kiss before leaving the room. I called Luke as I headed to the office.I’ve explained to Luke what our plan is, so today Ares and I plan to announce it to the pack. We plan to tell them the whole truth. After hanging out with our daughter, we gathered the entire pack in the hall.We waited until everyone was present, including the elders, which I had stayed at the back with, Felix, Hayley, and the guards on duty. Lyla said it would be safe. We waited until everyone was settled in before I started addressing them.“Good evening everyone,” I said to the crowd. “Your Luna and I have a lot to tell you this evening. Those of you that went to fight with us against M
Ares’s povI search his face for signs that he was joking, but I see none. I smiled, moved closer to him and cupped his face in my hands. “It’s fine, Jason,” I said. “I don’t think I’ll be changing my mind.” I smiled at him and he leaned in to kiss my lips. We went to bed that night with clear hearts and minds. Tomorrow, we begin building against our future in a year's time. The next morning, after Jason made breakfast for Adriana and I, I barely saw him for the rest of the day. The pack was so busy with people going back and forth with tools and whatnot. I still went into his office to continue the pack work. Josh came around during the day to help out. We sorted out documents together, and I signed documents that needed my approval on things. I have no idea how Jason has been doing it and juggling his company with Cole, but I’m just about ready to call it quits on the whole paperwork.Things went on like that for the next two months. I started getting used to him less and less. W
Jason’s PovAs the others worked on the castle, I worked alone on the house. I had to tear down some worn out parts and replace them. Cole helped a lot by helping me send the things I ordered down to the pack.It took a lot of time, but I was finally happy with the result. All that was left now was to show it to her. I had already moved our things and Adriana’s to the house before I went to the office to get her. I walked in to find her bent over seriously looking over documents. She had taken it upon herself to take care of the pack work while we worked on the castle. Killian had been kind enough to send some people over, but knowing him, It’s definitely not from the kindness of his heart. He would want something in return. Maybe not now, but I know he will.When he saw Felix though, I saw him smile for the time. A real genuine smile. They chatted and caught up like old friends. He looked more human that day. Cain helped too, and so did James, who got closer to me as we worked toget
