Chapter Thirty-twoLaila PovI didn't get enough sleep that night, and when I tousled in my bed again for the umpteenth time because of what happened earlier. Staying between both Ares and Atlas ignited something in me and if I remained careless, I don't think I'll be able to control myself. “Arg- get yourself together Lai, this isn't the time to have fe-” I stopped myself from completing the sentence and sighed. I pushed myself off the bed and walked over to the mirror where I stared at my reflection in the mirror. The cast had been removed and the faint claw markings remained on my neck, Atlas said it was only a Matter of time before it faded out. Atlas. The feel of him against me had me chewing my lips, why did it bother me so much how I felt? Why now? I never had any attraction well, not the kind I was having but the one that was enough to send heat all over me. I brushed my hair backwards and rushed to the door, now I was thirsty. I needed water, I stepped out of my room and h
Chapter Thirty-ThreeAres PovIt was the day for the party and I was yet to tell Laila about it. It had skipped me until the reminder popped up on my phone. Now I had to talk to her. I got out of my chair and walked towards the door when I halted. It had been a while since I'd spoken to her and from our last engagement it was awkward as hell. She ran away and hid inside her room for the rest of the night.No one was in the house when I stepped outside, Atlas was supposed to be in because he was off duty for today but he was nowhere in, Laila was probably off training as usual. She wasn’t slacking off and after her new control of reflexes she was able to start working on something new with Ayesha.I found them resting when i got to the training ground, Laila was lying on her back while she looked up in the sky while Ayesha was gulping down on a bottle of water in her hand. She noticed me and acknowledged my arrival, Laila remained on the ground with no effort to move away from the grou
Chapter Thirty-FourAtlas POVI was out of my room fixing the wrist watch on my hand when Ares stepped out of his room, he was also dressed in his casual black shirt dress and black suit pants, he had his hair swept neatly to the side. It was natural for the both of us to look our best and right now we matched to the last.“Brother.” he said and we walked down the stairs together. “What time are we supposed to leave?” I asked and he glanced down at his watch. “In the next fifteen minutes,” he glanced towards the stairs, Laila was the one who was holding us back. I hadn’t seen her for the entire day and i got excited knowing she was going to be by our side for the rest of the night.“It’s ti-” Ayesha’s voice was caught away by the door closing loudly. The sound of heels clicking against the marble ground gained our attention and we waited in anticipation, eager and hungry to see her. The sharp perfume she wore made it difficult to ignore her presence, my phone beeped in my trousers a
Chapter Thirty-fiveLaila PovRight in front of me was Alexandro Daiz, Justine’s step brother. It was a surpise to see him and it was harder to believe that he owned this place. I had met with him just once and he wasn’t quite keen on our relationship back then. He never said anything outrightly to me but from the way he looked at both of us, I could tell that it was obvious what he was thinking.“You two know each other?” Atlas asked first and turned to me, I swallowed keeping my lips in a thin line.Andro’s face lit up and he stepped closer with his hands shoved in the pockets of his pants. His tall slim frame easily gave him the advantage over me, but nothing about him seemed dangerous or intimidating.“Watch it Andro- Not a step closer.” There was a bit of tension in Ares' words, like he didn’t want Andro near me.“It’s fine Ares, she’s not so new to me besides, where is the white wolf? You said you were coming with the girl.” Andro asked, turning away from me to look at the broth
Chapter Thirty-sixAres PovThat boy was lucky that she pleaded with me to stop, as far as i was concerned i wanted him to pass out but she came to his aid. There was a subtle fear hidden in her eyes as she inspected his limp body. After she made me follow her to that empty room and say those things to me, I wanted to shut her up with my lips but it was going to keep myself sane afterwards. I was here for information on Morgana, this was the wrong place to make out with her, I made both her and Atlas come with me back to Andro’s office. For a moment i thought he was going to be upset with the fact that i almost choked his own step brother to death, but Andro wasn’t bothered and already had a woman sitting on his lap while he took a deep swing of his smoke and held my gaze.“Great, you’re back.” He cheered reaching for a glass on the side table. “Steph, go call in Mark and Siberus.” The brunette gave Andro a long kiss before she strutted out with her hips swaying in the most seductive
Chapter Thirty-SevenLaila PovWhen he asked me if I was ready, I didn't expect to find an amused expression on his face. I smiled back and then strong hands touched my thighs and I turned to Atlas direction. He had a serious expression on his face.“Ares, I don't think it’s ideal to let her do anything in her dress. It would be a waste-” He turned to the men who had blocked the door. “Especially for these people, they’re not worth that much energy.” he replied and I turned to Ares who seemed to be thinking about what Atlas had said.“You may be right, well then. Laila sat back, and enjo-” He didn’t get to finish when one of the guys charged at him. He easily pushed the guy aside without even touching him and let him fall into the glass table.“Really? You guys will need to try harder.”…………………………………………………………………………………They did try harder but not enough to stop both brothers. Atlas and Ares beat each of them with not a single sweat. There was a solid supremacy that was clear between th
Chapter Thirty-EightAtlas PovI watched from the front as the both of them made out at the back, it was difficult to keep my eyes on the road as it was made out, there was something odd about Laila’s behavior and It affected the way she reacted with Ares. For her to make the move on him, it was clear that whatever she drank back at Andro’s place was not water.I swallowed when my eyes met with them through the review mirror, her back was on display for me to see and Ares' strong hands wrapped themselves through her back, her head tilted backwards as his lips cascaded open her neck, sucking and making a mark. The sudden light flashed in my eyes and then I realized I had taken my eyes off the road for too long. I cleared my throat and fixed my gaze on the road, i tried to put the image of the two at the back of my mind but it was difficult with the sultry noise she was making i doubted myself.“F@#$ it!” i pulled the car over to a halt and turned to them. Laila’s eyes were clossed and
Chapter Thirty-NineLaila POVI stirred against the hard mattrass with a budding headache in the back of my head, i stretched my hands out put instead of clutching my pillow, i touche dthe hard edge of something. My brows furrowwed still with closed eyes I tried to stretch out my legs but it only got tangled in stronger ones.I pried my eyes opened and glanced down at who was beneath me, i blinked once and then twice and then again as i watched Atlas sleep. His chest raised slowly and dipped back down, his face was turned to the side giving me a sided profile of his face. He looked stressed, the crease between his brows twitched and his lips which were in a thin line. I glanced around us and realized i wasn’t in my room neither were we in his room, this was more of an infirmary. “You’re awake.” The voice startled me and i rolled over and missed out on the small bedspace which had me landing on the ground. I winced as my butt collided with the ground. “What in the world?” I muttered
