Ares' POV

I hurried to the backyard, where the Delta was leading me. What the hell did he mean by the priestess being dead? She just told me that she was going to find the cure for Violet's sickness about an hour ago.

How could she be dead? I refused to believe it. I was already making plans on how I was going to punish the Delta. He finally stopped right in front of a row of bushes, with his eyes wide as he looked back at me.

I looked at what was in front of him. It was a body. The body had the exact same build as the priestess. And the body was wearing the same clothes that the priestess had on. Just that this body was headless.

There was blood everywhere. “The priestess, Your Highness,” the Delta said in a shaky voice. I knew that they hadn't ever seen anything like that in the pack. It was new. To even me.

The main question was how it happened. Did someone know that she was going to find the cure for Violet's sickness? Did that person kill her to prevent that? I looked at the D

    Violet's POVAdrian's lips touched mine softly. I felt my back start to fold, and I gently pushed him away. “I don't want this, Adrian,” I said, trying my best to smile. “I don't want to ruin the friendship that we have.” He could barely look at me. He was nodding his head and shaking it at the same time with his eyes firmly on my thighs. “We are not ruining anything,” he murmured softly. “Alpha Ares does not deserve you. And you know that. You don't have to be with an old man like him. I'm the future Alpha of my pack as well.”“You could be my actual Luna. And not Alpha Ares' fuck mate.” I wanted to be mad at him, but I wasn't. I turned my neck to the side for him to see. “I'm not his fuck buddy. Nor has he mated with me yet.”“That's because he knows how good and worthy you are. He knows what having you in the pack would do for him.”“If he knew, then he wouldn't have chased me away like that.” He bit his lip, not saying anything else, and I knew that I was right. His jaw was tens

    Ares' POVI woke up in bed alone. I didn't remember taking my clothes off. But I was naked underneath the sheets. My head was banging. Belladonna walked in at just the same time, like she had been waiting for me to wake up.There was an unreadable expression on her face. “Some lemon water, Alpha.” She wasn't calling me Ares. Was it that she didn't just want to rest me? Or had she finally backed away? It was possible that she had now found a new mate. I didn't want to take the water from her, but I seemed helpless. I took it from her, taking small sips. “What happened yesterday?” I asked, and she looked at me with a different kind of look. “I have no idea, Alpha. But I do remember that Jackie had just left the room.”“Jackie was here last night?” I found myself asking, and she shook her head. “You obviously had too much to drink. We would love you to come downstairs and pick the exact designs you would like us to use for the event.”I frowned. Colton was usually the one handling thin

    Violet's POV I held my breath after I spoke. I wasn't planning on speaking. In fact, that was never the plan between Lynn and me. I looked over at her, and she didn't seem disappointed. Alpha Ares turned to look at me immediately. I didn't look away. I needed him to see that he actually hurt me. By hosting this party and not telling me anything about it. Ares did not look okay. There were dark circles under his eyes, and he missed a button. Something that hadn't happened since I had known him. I almost walked up to him and asked him what was wrong. I almost asked if he needed me to make any kind of soup for him. Lynn's hands were firmly in mine like she could read my thoughts. I locked eyes with her, and she shook her head. Every single person in the room was looking at me. I could tell that some of them recognised me from the last party. And for the ones that didn't, they were obviously getting the gist already. My eyes drifted down to the place where his hands were intertwined

    Ares' POV“Are you okay?” Jackie asked as soon as I came out of the room. I wanted to stay back and peep. I wanted to see what he was doing to her. How he was treating her that made her want to be so close to him all of a sudden. “I'm fine,” I mumbled as I headed back to the party. Kyros and Luna were there already, socialising with other people. If I didn't know how they were, I would have blamed them for asking their son to do whatever he was doing now. After all, Luna was always overprotective of Violet. They both smiled at me and approached me without hesitation. “How are you enjoying the party?” Luna asked, smiling more than she usually did. “It's been going as well as it possibly could.” She nodded, taking a sip of the drink in her hand. “Any plans to make the pack more secure?” Kyros asked, and I nodded. I was lying. There wasn't really any plan in place. The first thing I wanted to do was recruit the soldiers. They were the front liners. There was no way we were going to

    ARES’ POVThe party was over as soon as Violet walked out of the party. All eyes were on me, and my cheeks still burnt from the slap that Luna had given me.“The party is over,” someone shouted, and the other guards had started asking everyone to leave. It felt like the slap had brought me out of the trance that I was in. My head was no longer light, and my feet seemed like it was rooted to the ground. “Are you okay?” Jackie asked immediately. I was noticing every single thing. Her mascara was running down her face like she had been crying. But why? “Just leave me alone,” I said, feeling angry for no reason. I started walking away, but she grabbed me by my arm.“You can't ignore me that way, Ares!” she screamed. “Are you going to be just like other men? Get your way and then abandon the girl because she genuinely loved you?”“What do you mean by get my way?” I asked. It was the second time that she was saying something like that. Without even hesitating.She opened her mouth to spea

    Violet’s POVThere wasn’t anybody in the world that would be able to give me a reasonable explanation for Colton being at Alpha Kyros’ pack. My heart skipped a beat, hoping to the Goddess that Ares had sent him to meet me. The sad look on his face told me otherwise, but that didn’t stop me from walking towards him. “What do you want?” I asked, and he frowned.“I get that you’re angry with Ares. But I’m Colton for goodness sake.”“Did he send you to come here?” I asked, and he shook his head.“I’m sorry about how he had been treating you. The whole pack knows everything now. He might just be coming back to pick you up any second.” Every person around me had been telling me the same thing. I bit my lip, trying hard not to tell him that I was going to be making my way to the palace that evening.I shook my head anyway. “If Ares wanted to pick me up, he would have.” Colton sighed. “I don’t know if I’m imagining it, but he hasn’t been okay since the priestess died. He might just be genui

    ARES’ POVI walked into the priestess’ lair. She was casting a few spells and poring over a few books at the same time. It brought tears to my eyes. Was I ever going to get used to the old priestess not being there? The tears dripped down my cheeks, and I caught myself. Why was I crying? Since when did I become so soft? “You are here, Alpha,” she said, noting my presence. I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes. She paused as she stood up. “Are you crying?” I faked a cough. “Your lair is pretty dirty. You have to keep it clean at all times. Your predecessor would have done a better job.” She was practically shivering. I understood that she was a young girl. Fortunate enough to learn so many spells that she could curse every single person on earth at the same time.By the time I was done speaking, it sounded like I was snapping at her. It was her own turn to cry. She gently wiped her tears with the sleeve of the long gown she was putting on.“What’s wrong?” I asked softly, taking gen

    Violet’s POVA piece of wood hitting my head was enough to wake me up. I cried out in pain. I could feel liquid dripping down my face. It was definitely my blood. The metallic taste filled my mouth. I tried to move my arms, but they felt too heavy. I tried the same with my legs, but I couldn’t move. Fuck, I was tied up. I opened my mouth to breathe, and I breathed in dust. That was more than enough for me to cough. I bent forward as I coughed, but even my stomach was tied to the chair. I heard heavy footsteps in the room.“She’s finally awake,” a deep voice said with a hint of amusement. “Is someone there?” I asked. “Please let me go. You can even cover your faces; I won't tell a soul. Please.” A small laughter went round the room. I could clearly hear about three men laughing. “Little girls like her are the definition of kiss and tell.”I shook my head in the darkness and continued pleading with them. “We should go and tell them that she’s awake.” One of them said, and the other g

    Violet’s POVI blinked twice as he told me. Was that supposed to affect me in any way? Even his mother looked shocked. I looked back at Adrian, and his eyes were dancing around my face, like he was looking for at least the twitch of an eyelid. I didn’t give him that satisfaction. I looked back at Luna. Why didn’t she tell me? She could at least have told me that the siblings were getting married together. Was I now a streak of bad luck?“You didn’t tell me about it,” I told her, but she still had her eyes on Adrian. I didn’t know if she wanted to slap him for telling me their top secret or if she was getting angry because there was no such thing. Her expression was unreadable for the first time since I have known him. She took in a deep breath before she finally looked at me. “He never told me anything either.”Then what was his deal? I wanted to ask him out loud. It was the first time that I was seeing his mother genuinely sad. “Who are you getting married to?” his mother asked, an

    Violet’s POV​“No, not that one,” I whined. “The wine-coloured dress behind the blue one.” Ares was trying so hard to pack my clothes. And trust me, I was not making any part of it easy for him. The only part I agreed to pack for myself was my undies. I wanted him to pack them. And I was making it difficult for him with the description of the colours. He was thinking I was in so much pain, so he did not complain.“That’s the last one,” he finally announced as he pushed one of my gowns into the bag. The car was ready, and he led me downstairs. The people at the pack were now bowing down to greet Ares again. I could see the pride on his face as they did that. “Where are you guys going?” Belladonna asked, blocking the exit for the both of us. I wanted to complain, but talking to her was the last thing I wanted to do. As far as I could remember, her business was always with Ares. “Can you just move out of the way?” Ares asked, but she still had her eyes locked on me. I couldn’t help b

    Violet’s POVDid I seem freer? Or was I imagining things? I was smiling everywhere after that kiss with Ares. I had honestly hoped for him to push me away. But he didn’t. He genuinely kissed me. I didn’t want to believe that he was acting with me. He wasn’t. I wanted to believe and hope that he wasn’t playing with me again. I tried to get rid of the thought that he was just playing another game with me as I walked with him through the garden. “You said you wanted to talk?” I asked him, and he nodded.“I think the Elders would prefer to talk to you first.” I nodded, looking at how my hand fit in his perfectly. I blinked. I didn’t want to imagine any more things that weren’t meant to be. That was the one thing I didn’t want to do. I was doing perfectly well without my imaginations. “Just don’t get angry at whatever they might ask of you, because I will be asking you just the same thing.”I wanted to ask what more he was going to say or what the elders were going to say, because he de

    Ares’ POVViolet was being nice. Too nice for my liking. Even when she was trying to be nice, she was never as nice as that. I hoped to hell that she was not pretending. Because if she was pretending, I could as well just go to hell. She was being nice, fine. But she was quite overdoing it. The Elders wanted to have a meeting with her as regards the mating ceremony. I already knew what her response was going to be. And I had already fucked up by bringing the meeting while I was just five minutes into being nice with her. She was at least smart enough to put two and two together. And it wouldn’t take her as much time as it would take a normal person. If she hadn’t already tried understanding everything herself.Maybe there was just no need to pretend with her. I could just go straight up and tell her what she needed to do. If she was ever going to agree with me, of course.She was still staring at me when a knock came at the door. I groaned internally for not locking the door when I

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 46

    Violet’s POVI hurried back to the room, crawling on the steps before Ares could even come out and see me. That was a close call.At some point, I felt bad. All nice and cosy since he said he wanted to take care of me. But that was what he said before, right? That was the one thing he promised to do.All I had to do was go on a date, get poisoned by someone in the pack, and he changed totally. He could not tolerate my ugly face for even a day before he sent me out. Well, my face was okay now, and my back was not. Was he going to send me back because of my ugly back too? Ares saying he wants to take care of me is the one thing I would not believe. He had promised the same thing before. And if he goes to dump me at Alpha Kyros, I don’t think I would be shocked either. It wasn’t the first time, was it?All I wanted to see was~~~~I had woken up, and the room was empty. I didn’t have that much hope to even see him there. But I could swear I felt his kiss on my forehead, but I didn’t kn

    Ares’ POV I watched how tiny she looked on the bed. How had she grown so much confidence? It was hot as fuck, even if it was stupid of her to start an argument with the Alpha of her pack. It made me remember someone. The last person I wanted to remember that day. Even as she spoke, it felt like it wasn't her. Her collarbones were prominent, and I was sure I could definitely count her ribs underneath her dress.I placed my hands on them, and she flinched. She was sleeping for fuck's sake, and she could still feel the pain in her back. I pretended like I didn't see the scar when I went to pick her up. Or the red marks on her face that were definitely from slapping. Even Belladonna had added to that. Or the splinters of wood that were still on her face. She was not lying down on them. I wanted to be angry, but I couldn't. My hands felt too weak to even form any kind of fists. She was extremely weak. And she wasn't healing quickly. Was it all me? Was she that weak because she had trie

    Violet’sPOV I did not bother to open my mouth to say anything. It would be totally useless to throw my legs either. I was a little excited to see him. But now, that feeling is gone. There was no need to be excited at the sight of the person that had tried to hurt me in the least moment I had expected. My ass and my back were on fire. I wanted to cry, but definitely not in front of him.“Why didn't you fight back?” He asked. Was that anger in his voice? “You and I know that you could have easily pushed them away if you wanted. But you just decided to be weak. Today of all days. Today when you were supposed to show me how you really are, you decided to fuck up.” I looked up. “Why would I show you anything?!” I fired back. “After everything you have done to me? After everything I've been through in your hands? After everything I've been through because of the people that you have hurt in the past?”He stopped in his tracks. I held my breath as I waited for him to apologise to me. He

    Violet’s POVFinally, I was going to see them. I couldn’t ignore the gut feeling that was telling me to pretend that I wasn’t feeling okay. Would that somehow save me? Before I could try to fake a stomach ache, I was already dragged outside by my hair. I turned back to see if Eric was following. He was walking slowly behind us. His eyes were sad, and he could barely look at me. I wanted to ask him what happened. Was he sad because he was remembering everything that happened the night before? Or was he sad because he had remembered what Ares had done to him? Or worse, was he sad and scared for me? I didn’t want to think that far. Everything was going to be fine. The weather was still gloomy, just the way I was feeling. Eric’s voice was ever present in my head, telling me all the things that Ares had done to him. I still couldn't comprehend everything I heard. “Move!” one of the men said, shoving me by the shoulder so hard that I fell to the ground. He grabbed me up by my hair agai

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 42

    Ares’s POV I could barely sleep a wink as I waited for the sun to rise. Someone has said they had information as to where Violet might be. It was six o'clock on the dot when I got up and headed out of the palace. I could have easily disobeyed the person that passed the information. I tried not to think about the fact that I had given orders while I was drunk. The fact that I didn't remember doing all those things was alarming. But I couldn't argue with them. It was shameful enough that I was drunk. The whole pack had heard about it. If there was any atom of respect left for me from the pack members after I had asked Colton to take Violet away, it was gone at the news of me asking people to abduct Violet while I was drunk. I could never really comprehend the issue. Or how it managed to spread round the whole pack to the extent that even the Omegas knew about it. I didn't miss their snickering whenever they walked past. Even if Violet returned, what was the assurance that she was
