The Alpha king's Saving Grace Chapter 22
I watched as tears slid down her cheeks after her rant.For some reason, heart tears pulled the strings of my black heart.Yes, I had a heart but it was cold and empty.I hated it.I hated seeing her tears.I had to resist the primal urge to wipe her tears and pull her into my arms but clenching my fists on my sides and my eyes darkened.“I'm not going for the funeral. Neither are you,” I said firmly and turned around and walked straight to the door without looking back, resisting the urge to go back and pull her into my arms.It was just the mating bond and nothing else and I wasn't going to let a stupid thing as a mating bond make me get attached to a some girl.“Our girl!” my wolf, Pellar, who had been clawing at me to let him free as we took in her scent, growled at me.“Fuck that!” I growled back and hit my fist violently on the wall.I pulled my hand back and scowled at the fist-sized hole that now dainted the wall outside the dining hall and walked away.I didn't need a mate!I

I folded the clothes harshly and piled them on one another, trying to find an outlet for my anger but nothing I did seemed to quell my anger because I had spent the whole night trying not to let my heart burst out of my chest with how mad I was.Who did he think he was to tell me what to do and what not to do?“He's the Alpha. You live under his roof and you can't get away from here if you want to,” my subconscious so gracefully reminded me.“Alpha my ass,” I said through gritted teeth and threw the dress shirt in my hand on the pile.It was the way he could conveniently brush my request off and make it look like a trivial matter. I wouldn't lie but it hurt. It hurt real bad to see that all of my sacrifices, all the years I lost to the army, was just nothing in his eyes and I wouldn't admit it to anyone but a part of me, a small part of me wanted to see the pride in his eyes as he talked about the best soldier in his army.But there was nothing but indifference and I was forced to ge

Once again, time stopped and I got enthralled with his deep ocean eyes that were capable of making any woman in the world swoon.“Except me,” I mentally convinced myself.I always wondered what thoughts and emotions and stories those eyes held.If there was anyone that was very good at hiding their emotions, it had to be him.He cleared his throat once and something snapped inside of me, making me to immediately pull my hand with the sword down and correct my stance.From the way he stared at me, I knew I was in trouble.I knew for sure that we weren't allowed to go upstairs unless explicitly asked by him but I had gotten lost in my tour that I took the stairs without realizing.Plus, he caught me in his sword, which I wasn't entirely sure was forbidden but I could tell that even though it wasn't, he wouldn't let it slide easily just because it was me.The man obviously had a problem with me and….“I didn't see you at breakfast today,” he said, breaking me out if my thoughts and I cou

Ares' povSexy.Fierce.Daring.Smart.Those were the few words to describe Tabitha. For someone as small as she was, she sure had a lot to say and she didn't mind saying them.Her firm grip on the sword, her unwavering stance and the way she effortlessly stroke the sword in the air was hypnotizing and only made me realize there was still a lot to know about the interesting woman.I had barely scratched the surface.She moved with such grace that only years of swordsmanship could bring, making me wonder where she learnt that from.I was just about to commend her skills but as soon as her captivating eyes landed on me, I knew I had to address a more important issue.I hadn't realized how into my skin she had gotten until I didn't see her at breakfast and the food tasted bland in my mouth, making me leave it, barely eating anything.I tried to shake it off but after a few hours of staring at my laptop screen and reading a line over and over again without comprehending, I knew there was t

Ares' povWith fury rolling out of her in waves, she glared at me one more time to punctuate her words before stomping out.“What the fuck was I thinking?” I muttered to myself and ran a finger through my hair.My first instinct was to pull her back and kiss her plump luscious lips while muttering apologies but I shoved my hands into my pockets and watched her leave instead.Watching her leave was good.I wasn't supposed to be having those thoughts about her and apologizing wasn't my strongest fort. In fact, I never apologized to anyone but I found myself wanting to do that for her.“Goddamit! Why can't things be simple with this girl?” I groaned.“Alpha Ares, do…do you need anything?” One of the maids asked, standing a very good distance from me.I scoffed inwardly before doing a U-turn and marching back to my study, secretly hoping I would catch her eye but my luck ran out there.Just before I got to the last stairs, something clicked in my mind and I turned to see the maid still st

“What?” I spat and all the smile disappeared from my face.He sat there staring at me emotionlessly.Why was it always this way?And for a moment, I already had my head in the clouds, thinking he would let me go with him and now this.How on earth was I supposed to do that?In five hours?Has he seen this house?!Under his supervision my foot.“Ares….”His eyes darkened and a low growl vibrated through his chest but something told me it wasn't a warning growl. Anyway, I corrected myself.“I mean Alpha Ares, how am I supposed to do that?” I asked with bewilderment.His eyes returned to normal but something flashed through them before disappearing again.“With your hands,” he said and I held back an eye roll at his obvious response.“I mean….”“That's my only condition. If you can't do it, then I'm sorry you can't go,” he said with a shrug.I bit the inside of my cheeks.He hated me and my guts, I get it.But asking me to clean the whole mansion alone and in five hours too was just down

A shadow loomed over me as I stirred in my sleep. I slowly opened my eyes and almost lept out of my skin when I saw that I wasn't dreaming and someone was actually standing over me.“What the fuck?” I whisper-yelled as I covered the comforter over my pajamas-clad body. “Get up,” he said nonchalantly.“It's not even 4 am,” I groaned, wanting nothing more than to sink deeper into my mattress and going back to sleep.I could barely see his face with the dim light of the lamp above my bedstand but the pointed look on his face stood out in the dark as he glanced between me and the alarm clock.3:58.“You've got to be kidding me,” I muttered under my breath.“You have two minutes to meet me outside,” he said coldly and left in three long strides without waiting for my response.Someone remind me why I agreed to this in the first place.I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to quell the headache that was beginning to form on that spot before sighing deeply and standing up from the bed.I

I couldn't move.It felt like a magnet was pulling me closer to him and before I knew it, we were breathing the same air. Literally.Maybe I didn't want to move.He looked even more charming up close. His blue eyes had flecks of grey which I hadn't noticed before and I just realized how spotless his skin was.His minty breath fanned my face and time seemed to stop as he stared at me, switching between my eyes and my lips.I could almost see the wheels turning in his head as he weighed between what was right and wrong and in less than a second, he made his choice and leaned even closer.But just before our lips could touch, I moved to the side, placing my lips a few centimeters from his ear.He had made his choice but I hadn't made mine.“You don't affect me,” I said, even though the slight tremble in my voice betrayed me because being this close to him and inhaling his sweet musky scent made my brain fuzzy.I pulled away and he had a dark look in his eyes and his Adam's apple bobbed.

Six years later“And there you go,” I placed Adele's little plate in front of her.“Mama, give daddy some,” she said when she noticed I was yet to serve Ares.“Yeah, give daddy some,” Ares wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.“You're disgusting,” I laughed and swatted his arm before going back to the kitchen to get our own plates.Breakfast went by quickly with Ares asking the kids about their week in school, and light chatter went round the table.After breakfast, I sat on the couch, surrounded by the loves of my life. Ares snuggled beside me, his head on my shoulder, while the twins, Emily and Jackson, and their baby sister Adele, played on the floor. The room was filled with laughter and the sound of tiny feet pattering around.I couldn't help but think about just how lucky I was to have a complete family with the man I love. In the last six years, the pack has thrived to new heights, but no matter how busy he was, Ares always made time for his family and I couldn't be more gratefu

I slowly opened my eyes, groggily taking in my surroundings. I was in a hospital room, surrounded by beeping machines and sterile walls so white it made my head ache.I felt like I'd been run over a train many times and every part of me ached.Ares jumped up from where he was seating on the couch, grabbing my hand. His eyes were red-rimmed from lack of sleep, tugging at my heart painfully."Hey," he whispered, his voice cracking with emotion. "Welcome back."I tried to speak, but my throat was dry and sore. He helped me sit up, and quickly handed me a glass of water, and I drank greedily, the cold water sliding down my throat and bringing life back to my body.“You're here,” I mumbled after handing the cup back to him.He nodded rapidly and clasped my hand with his, bringing it to his lips. “You're here too. You came back for me,” he kissed my hand.I brought my hand hooked with IV up and ran my fingers through his overgrown hair. His shoulders shook lightly and I knew he was crying.

I gulped. The malice and anger in his voice were so palpable I didn't doubt him.He sneered, seeing his words had the desired effect on me before pulling away.My eyes followed him as he walked to the far end of the room and picked a sword from the wall.He let the sword hang loosely on his hand and the tip grated on the concrete floor, making a shrill sound.He stopped a few feet in front of me, and I clenched my teeth, looking as bold as I possibly could.“Jason, do we have to kill her?” Galia asked, biting her lips.He turned to her and his eyes narrowed in slits.“Don't tell me you're chickening out now,” he spat.She shifted her weight from one feet to the other, looking uncomfortable. “It's the Alpha we want. We don't have to kill her,” she repeated.“It seems like you've forgotten what this bitch did to you. To me!” He yelled. “Let me remind you.”I could see Galia's resolve breaking, but he was trying to get in her head.“She made you irrelevant. You lived in her shadows for y

My eyes opened and the first thing I noticed was the banging pain in my head. The room was utterly dark and somewhere in the far corner, I could hear the steady leaking of water, and the putrid smell of the place hit me square in the face.I groaned in pain, as I tried to move the searing pain in around my chest and arms told me I was bound. The silver burned deeply into my skin, causing me to roll my eyes in pain, and stay still on the chair.I felt something cold trickling down the side of my face and one sniff in the air, I knew it was blood.I tried to remember how I'd ended up in this position and after a few seconds of trying, my memory came back to me in bits and pieces till I made sense of the whole picture.I gritted my teeth and tried to break out of my restraints, but the more I did, the more it burned my skin.I closed my eyes to stop the tears that were threatening to fall. Just when everything was beginning to fall in place, this happens.My mind went to Ares, and I tri

The meeting was dragging on longer than expected, and I shifted uncomfortably many times in my seat.I sat at my place at the head of the table, staring blankly at the papers in front of me while the presenter’s voice grated at my consciousness.I was supposed to be attentive and giving my inputs on crucial business deal with the foreign investors, but my mind kept wandering and my wolf kept pacing, making me even more restless.Pulling out my phone, I dialed her number for the third time and clenched my fist around the device when I was sent straight to her voicemail.I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been plaguing me all day.After a few minutes, I tried to focus on the numbers and figures, but my thoughts kept drifting back to Tabitha, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of dread.I tried to mind-link her through the matebond, but all I got was silence.“Fuck!” I slammed my fist on the table.Some people jumped in fear and others looked up at me warily, concerned

I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face, feeling like I was walking on air. I was back with Ares, and this time, they were mated. My fingertips traces his mark on my neck and I smiled at the tingly sensation. So this was what being bound to someone felt like.Nyx was as happy as she could be and I'd never felt at peace like I was doing now, in his arms, knowing we had overcome the hurdle that separated us, and I was his like he was mine.It had been two weeks since we got back together, but we still couldn't get enough of each other.We had spent the everyday in these two weeks snuggled up together, only leaving the bed to receive our food that Ares had ordered for, and when totally necessary, and these two weeks have been the happiest of my life.I felt closer to him more than ever now and understood him on a different level since I could now feel what he was feeling through the mate bond, and most times, those feelings were unholy ones that had us tangled underneath the

Ares' pov I opened my eyes to the rays of sunlight peeking in through the curtains and the memories of the night before came playing in my eyes like a record.A smile covered my face and I turned to snuggle up with her but the bed was cold and empty.My eyes opened, wide awake now and my heart slammed in my chest at the thought that it was all a dream, but before I could go into a panic attack, the bathroom door opened.I released a deep breath as my eyes landed on her innocent brown eyes, her hair tied I a messy bun at the top of her head.“Everything okay?” She asked with a small smile, but I didn't miss how nervous she was.Six months apart, and yet she looked even more radiant than I remembered. Her now short brunette hair framing her face beautifully, and her skin glowed with a warm, golden light.I took a deep breath and reached her in three long strides, wrapping myself around her in a warm embrace.She squealed before relaxing into me. It was a wonder that the connection bet

My breath came out in short, quick pants as I rode out my high. Ares had said he wasn't going to last, but I didn't expect the heavy orgasm to crash down on me the way he did.In less than a minute, my body was heating up again and shame filled me.We still had a lot to talk about and having sex this way didn't solve anything. Heck he was still with Noelle and she was pregnant!I immediately felt terrible but the ache in between my legs made those thoughts fade.I clenched my legs shut, momentarily embarrassed so he wouldn't see me like a sex deprived maniac, but it was well beyond my control.“Don't hide from me,” his husky voice said from behind me.He turned my body so I was facing him and kept his knee in between my legs, keeping me from seeking friction from my legs.“Wee shouldn't be doing this. It's so wrong,” I shook my head.“Why?” He asked, his filled with different emotions that made my insides curled. “We're mates.”“Not anymore,” I said but I sounded like a moan at the en

Ares' pov I saw red as I stormed in and saw Rodolfo on her. On my mate!My feet moved before my mind, and the next thing I knew, I was pinning him to the wall.His eyes widened with fear but before he could say anything, I let my emotions take control and began slamming my fist into his face.He was helpless in my hands and my wolf was out to play, but nothing seemed to soothe me. Not the repeated scrunch of his bones breaking under my fist, or his painful growls, or the blood splattered all over his face and my fucking fist.Nothing seemed to calm me.My wolf wanted blood and I wasn't sure I would stop even if he dropped dead to the ground.My relentless pounding on his face continued till a needy whine rolled out of her lips and everything around me stopped.I let him fall like a sack of potatoes on the floor and mind-linked my guards I'd come with to come in.I immediately rushed to her quivering side before they entered and yanked off my coat, wrapping it around her and scooping
