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

    He took an intimidating step forward and I took one back.I wouldn't say I was scared of him.I wasn't.I was just scared of what he was going to do and even more scared of how my body would react to it.“Why is your heart beating this way?” He asked in his cold, domineering voice but there was a tinge of something else.Something I could only place as longing.It couldn't be, could it?“You can't say anything now?” He asked, tilting his head to the side.I parted my lips and forced myself to say something but no words could come out of my mouth.“You said you wanted to kiss me,” he said and fir a moment, I stopped breathing.“That's a lie,” I shook my head.But as I looked between his eyes and his lips, I wasn't sure about that anymore.His lips curled up in a sneer and he stalked towards me.For each step he took towards me, I took two back.His eyes sparkled with amusement and I knew he was enjoying the chase.“You know, I've never seen anyone as…interesting as you,” he said and my

    With a loud growl, I walked back into the bathroom. It was three times the size of the one I had shared with the girls. There was a huge bathtub on one side with granite countertops and marble floors.I hoped into the shower, keeping the temperature of the water as hot as I could endure.The scalding water hit my skin mercilessly but I loved the burning sensation as I felt the hangover letting up and my tensed muscles loosening.It was also enough to distract me from the mess that was going on in my life.As a child, I had badly wished to have a fairytale love, one where I found my mate.As I aged and wolfed out and didn't find my mate, I took my relationship with Jason even more seriously.We lived each other and we're willing to get married and mark each other as mates and if down the line, one of us later found our fated mate, we would reject them.That was the plan.But in the blink of an eye, everything went down the drain.I got mated to the cruelest, narcissist person possible

    Ares' povI rolled the fork around my fingers as I stared into space.My food had been served more than twenty minutes ago but she was no where in sight.It was official even though I hated to admit it.I couldn't eat without her here.Something I had meant to be a punishment for her now turned around to be an addiction for me.Believe me, I tried but the food only tasted like chaff in my mouth.Her presence did things to me that I couldn't explain.I had to stop myself countless times from going upstairs and dragging her down here with me because I didn't want to seem desperate but I was going crazy.The memory of her full boobs crushing against my chest this morning still felt fresh and vivid in my mind and I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as my pants got tighter.I was still mad at her for what she did yesterday but I really couldn't hold it against her.I had provoked her, she was drunk out of her mind, he's very manipulative and I was certain he had gotten into her head.“That

    His question caught me off guard and for a good two minutes, I couldn't make out any words in reply.It had hit too close to home and I wondered what prompted him to ask that.He took my silence for an answer and pointed his fork at me.“That's what I thought,” he said dismissively.He was really trying to justify his actions Hy that question. Makes me wonder what blows life had dealt him.A pained look crossed his features and for a second, it tugged at my heart strings wondering what he had been through but the problem had been his tone.He had asked the question in such a demeaning way like life had been all glitters and rainbows for me.Maybe, yes.But the past month has been nothing but an endless tunnel of doubt, uncertainties and pain.“Next time, before you think in the devil himself, remember that life isn't fair to anyone and the earlier you get rid of your emotions, the more likely you are to survive in this cruel world,” he said.I couldn't say anything else.Not because I

    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
