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
“What's going on?” Hilda rushed towards me, glancing between me and Karla's retreating back.“She's crazy,” I shook my head, waving her off.I tried to walk away but she grabbed my upper arm, making me halt in my tracks.“No,” she said and seriousness dripped from her voice. “Beware of Karla. She's not as innocent as she looks,” she warned me.I sighed and placed my hand over hers.“I'll be fine, Hilda. Don't worry,” I assured her.She looked at me skeptically for a few seconds before letting go of my hand.Not wanting to hear anything further about Karla, I walked straight to the kitchen to fix my breakfast.I already had a lot on my plate to worry about someone of zero importance.I got to the kitchen and fixed up a very quick breakfast and soon, I was done scarfing down the food.“Shit,” I muttered under my breath as a thought crossed my mind.Rinsing my plate off, I ran back upstairs and didn't stop until my new room came in view.Just as reached the door and was about to turn the
Ares' povI walked past her even though I wanted to stand there and keep exchanging words with her.I hadn't expected her to sign the contract as quickly as she had done but she did, proving to ke once again that she wasn't a regular girl.I didn't even know why I drafted that silly contract in the first place.It wasn't anything serious.Just lines stating she would make sure all of my needs are met and it wasn't anything she wasn't already doing.“Alpha!” The head maid, Hilda, called as soon as I got to the bottom of the stairs.“Yes?” I asked without stopping or glancing at her.“Are you going to work?” She asked.I frowned at her question.“Do I pay you to question my in and out?” I growled.Her face paled and she immediately bowed her head.“I'm sorry, Alpha, I shouldn't have asked,” she apologized quickly.I rolled my eyes and without another word to her, walked to the front door.I hopped into one of my luxurious cars and got it started.I had an important meeting to attend to.
I stared at his broad back as he went over to stand by the window.I was still in shock, not by what happened but by the look I had seen on his face when I opened my eyes.It was the softest, most caring look I'd ever seen on anyone's face. Like the look one would give to an injured puppy.His touch was soft and feathery and when each time he pulled out a glass and fanned it with his mouth, my eyes involuntarily fluttered close.I never knew he had this gentle side to him.“.....okay?” A friendly voice broke me out of my thoughts.I looked at him expectantly but his own look mirrored mine and I realized he was waiting for a response.What was his question again?“Huh?” I blinked.“Let me know if you feel any pain,” he repeated.“Okay,” I whispered and my eyes left the greying doctor to the brooding man that had his back to me.The man got to work on my legs and I bit my lips to keep from crying out.To keep myself distracted, I looked around Ares' room for the first time.It wasn't li
Ares’ povI stormed out of the room, banging the door behind me and marched downstairs.I couldn't exactly tell why I was angry but I was.I got to the living room and everything had already been cleared and one wouldn't even think a chandelier had fallen minutes ago.A few men were in the middle of the room, fixing a new chandelier.“What we wrong?” I asked, ignoring their greetings and going straight to the point.The man who was probably the leader walked towards me and bowed.“The chandelier was already weak, Alpha. It's just too bad nobody noticed it on time,” he said.“How is that even possible?” I frowned.He immediately bowed his head and remained that way.They were painting it as an accident but I knew better.Something like that couldn't have just been an accident.I glared at him for a few seconds before walking away.I knew just the right person to ask.I marched upstairs and pushed her door open.Her eyes widened momentarily from the dressing table before they softened a
