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

    I woke up to a loud clicking sound.I frowned and stirred in my sleep, willing the sound to disappear but there was no such luck for me and the more I became conscious, the louder it got.I groaned and covered my ears with my palm guy even that wasn't enough to stop the sound.“What's that noise?” I groaned and opened my eyes and the clicking sound stopped.“Did I wake you?” His deep voice asked from the work space in the dark room.I realized I was actually still in his room and I was able to make out his outline as he sat on the chair with his fingers suspended in the air on his laptop.“How long did I sleep for?” I asked and yawned.“A very long time,” he replied.I didn't even know when I slept, the last thing I remembered was waiting for him to come back after he left the room angrily.He walked towards me and I could see him better with the lamp light on the bedside table.He had changed into fresh clothes and he shoved his hands into the pocket of his sweatpants.But what shock

    Ares' povI paced aimlessly in the room across from mine and all I could think of since I left her alone to sleep was the image of her laying on my bed with her hair sprawled out around her head.She described the word ‘sexy’ without even trying and it made me more hooked up on her.What bothered me the most was that in my long life, I never let ay woman sleep on my bed no matter how intimate the relationship seemed. Once I was done with my pleasure, they left my room but easily, without a second thought, I had offered my bed to this girl I'd known only for a couple of weeks.If this what what the mate bond did you one, then I hated it.I hated how weak I was when it came to her.I had only just controlled myself while I changed her out of her clothes and I did it with my eyes closed most of the time.“Fuck,” I groaned. “I should get my laptop. Work would definitely distract me,” I told myself because I felt like I was going crazy.I convinced myself that that was a good idea and walk

    I opened my eyes and frowned at the unfamiliar room.It was only a second before his scent hit me like a ton of bricks and the memories of the last 24 hours came rushing back to me.I sank deeper into the soft mattress that smelled like him and a smile graced my lips as I remembered how gentle he had been with me last night.I couldn't tell what had gotten into him but whatever it was, let me see the side of him I'd never seen before and I was certain not many people had had the privilege to.Our conversation with each other last night had been civil and one would think we were friends.I wish we were.He was a lot more tolerable when he wasn't looking like he was about to kill someone and I caught myself wanting to see that part of him more often.He had even smiled.Not a cocky smirk or an evil smile, an actual one that let me get a glimpse of his perfect dentition.I hated to admit it but he was a very handsome man and I felt something strange whenever I was with him.The door was

    I stared blankly at the open space in front of me as different thoughts raced through my mind as I absentmindedly played with a lint on my sweatshirt.The side of my closet that was filled with black and white was cleared and now replaced with colorful clothings of different varieties and when I asked why, all I got in response was “Alpha's orders.”So far, my plan at getting back to my old life seemed futile because Jason suddenly doesn't come around anymore.I hadn't seen him since that day at the funeral and for the first time since then, I regretted letting my emotions get the best of me.I should have seized the opportunity and made sure I spoke to him.Maybe if I'd done that instead of getting shit-faced drunk and kissing a stranger, I would have been out of this place that seemed to be impairing my mental health.Speaking of the reason why, it had been three days since I last set my eyes on him.Since he asked me out of his room that morning.I had tried to be nonchalant about

    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
