Placing the dress on my chest, I turned around to show it to Candice and she approved my showing me her two thumbs.Now, I can only hope it fits because Candice was a size smaller than me.“Thank you so much,” I rushed out and laid out the dress on the bed before hopping into the bathroom to take a quick shower.Once I was done and I had cleaned my body, I let my hair out of the bonnet which I had used to shield it from the water.I got back inside the room and Candice was still there.Sending her a small smile, I pulled my underwears over my body and walked up to the bed.Letting the tips of my fingers run through the soft material of the lace, a small smile played on my lips and I picked it up.I pulled the dress over my body. It was little struggle going through my hips but once I was done and zipped, I heard a small gasp and I wasn't sure whether it had come from me or Candice, who looked equally in awe.I walked to the mirror on the side of the room and took in my appearance.The
Ares' pov“Wow,” the words left my lips before I could stop them.How could anyone look so beautiful without even trying?The only bit of makeup on her face was a light colorless lipgloss.I wolf growled lowly and my pants strained as my eyes raked her body, staying longer on her fair thighs that were clad in the transparent dress, her full hips and round perky boobs that were accentuated by the dress but my eyes stayed even longer on her face.I got lost in those brown eyes of her for the umpteenth time and I didn't want to look away.“You're going with her?!” Karla screeched, breaking the trance Tabitha's beauty had thrown me into.I scowled and turned to her and my wolf growled in warning.Pellar never kiked her and she was only making things worse for herself by interfering with my mate.“Leave!” I commanded.Her lips quivered and she looked like she was about to cry but I didn't care.“You're choosing this-,” she stared at Tabitha and spat in a condescending tone. “-over me?” She
I knew coming here wasn't the best idea but I didn't realize just how terrible it was till I was here, staring into the eyes of my old nanny.She looked like she had ages ten years and her eyes were empty but she managed to give us a small smile.“Welcome, Alpha,” she bowed to Ares, who made a non-committal sound at the back of his throat in reply.She turned to me and of course the recognition and excitement that was on her face each time she saw me wasn't there and she took her eyes off me.“Right this way, please,” she motioned for us to follow her and I swallowed the lump that had formed at the back of my throat and willed my feet to move.“If you're going to puke, don't do it here,” Ares warned firmly in my ear and I could only imagine the expression on my face.I closed my eyes tightly for a second before opening it again and sending him a sarcastic smile but that didn't last long and I turned back to the house that now looked unfamiliar from the house I'd called home for the pa
My dad looked very lost, like he didn't believe what was going on. He would occasionally wipe the corners of his eyes with his handkerchief subtly but I caught on each time.Galia had her head on his shoulder with huge glasses that covered half of her face and I could only imagine how devasted she would look behind them.Jason had a neutral expression but I knew better than anyone else that he was trying really hard to keep it all together.He hated showing vulnerability and I don't think I'd ever seen him cry in our five years relationship but I knew how much all of this was killing him inside. We literally had our whole lives planned out only for it to be cut short this way.A white handkerchief came into my view and when I traced it to the hand that held it, I was met with Ares' poker face.He held it closer, urging me to take it and that was when I realized I had been crying.I hated this.I hated showing weakness especially not in front of someone like Ares but now, he had seen m
“What the hell are you doing in here?!” Jason growled.My body went rigid and I closed my eyes, trying to gather my emotions.I could literally feel him breathing down my neck as I subtly wiped off the tears that had slipped out the moment I entered the room.I slowly turned around to face him and plastered a smile on my face.“I was searching for the bathroom,” I said as calmly as I could.“You could have asked questions. Nobody is allowed in here,” he said and dragged my elbow out of the room. “Don't go in there again,” he seethed and turned to leave.“Wait,” I called, making him stop. “I think there's something you need to know,” I started.He turned around with furrowed eyebrows.“I….I…..”I had practiced this moment a million times in my head and even more times in front of the mirror but right now, when the moment was finally here, I couldn't bring myself to say anything.“Yes?” He asked impatiently.I took a deep breath.Here goes nothing.“I’m…..”“What's going on here?” A sof
I grimaced at the way the bitter liquid burned my throat and heart.I liked it.I liked the feeling.I wanted to be numb.To Jason, to Ares.Especially to Ares because I didn't understand myself and the way my heart palpitated whenever he was near.He had two women in his arms who he would probably take back home after this, which annoyed me even more.Even though I was always surrounded by men in the army, I never had a good relationship with alcohol but right now, I just wanted to let loose and not let my thoughts drown me because I felt I was going crazy.For once, I didn't want to be the Andrea who always had to act prim and proper outside because she was a public figure. I smile as it really dawned on me that I was really someone else.Someone nobody knew.Closing my eyes, I threw my head back and downed the rest of the butter liquid down my throat.“Woah, slow down, tiger,” the bartender chuckled but there was a hint of seriousness in his tone.I hit the now empty glass hard on
Ares povI balled my hands in fists by my side as I stared at her all evening.The two women by my side struggled for my attention but I couldn't care less about them.I kept my eyes on her, watching her every move.My body went stiff the second he took that seat beside her.“What's this fucker doing here?” I growled inwardly.I wanted to rip him off her side but she looked uninterested in what he had to say so I let her be.Besides, I wasn't ready to talk to her with the attitude she had displayed a while ago.She turned to me and the woman by my side muttered suggestive jokes to me but I kept a straight face.I was in a room filled with people but somehow, she was all I could see.Her eyes soon left mine and traced down to the woman beside me and jealousy was written clearly on her face.A small smile tugged on my lips as the thought hit me.She was jealous of me being with this girl and I was going to make her pay and regret flirting with Jason.“How about I take you home?” I mutte
“Make it stop!” I groaned lowly with my eyes closed as I stirred in my sleep.It felt like people were hitting drums inside my head and it was about to split open.“Oww,” I groaned and turned to the side but I couldn't find any comfortable position anymore so gave up and focused on opening my eyes.I snapped my eyes open only to close it back a second later due to the harsh rays of sunlight that temporarily blinded me.After a few seconds of closing my eyes, I slowly opened it again and a frown marred my face as I took in the strange room I was in.“What's going on?” I asked myself as I massaged my temple lightly to ease the intense migraine.I tried to jog my memory.I had gone for the funeral.After the funeral was the party.I tried to talk to Jason but Galia and Ares interrupted that.After that, I got angry seeing Ares with other women and went for a drink.The strange man that seemed to know me and flirted with me.Ares holding that woman.Me kissing the stranger.“I kissed a st
