Ares' pov

She laid peacefully on my bed, wrapped underneath the sheets with her hair sprawled out around her.

My grip on the knob tightened as I took in the sight in front of me.

Closing the door quietly so as not to wake her up, I walked towards her without making a sound.

Indeed, she was sleeping with her lips parted lightly.

I held my breath as she moved, probably to find a more comfortable spot and after a while, she sank deeper into the mattress.

A lot of questions floated through my mind but I just stood there and watched the sleeping beauty in my bed.

After a while, I walked into the bathroom to take my bath, thankful that it was soundproof so I wouldn't wake her and I let my fist do the job no woman seemed to be able to do.

The thought of her laying on my bed just a few feet away from me sent me over the edge and in no time, my palm was filled with my release.

Resting my head on the wall, I focused on regulating my breathing before rinsing my hand and body.

    “Candice! Candice!” I called out to her and hastened my footsteps to meet her but she didn't stop walking.“Candice!” I tapped her shoulder when I finally got to her and she whipped her head quickly and for a second, fear flashed through her eyes.“It's just me,” I said softly, raising my hands slightly in the air.She heaved a sigh and placed a hand on her chest, probably to calm her heartbeat.“You scared me,” she said, her breaths coming out ragged and forced.“Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you,” I apologized even though I was confused as to why she would be sacred in the house. “ It's just I had been calling your name and you didn't respond,” I added.“I…I didn't hear,” she said vaguely.“What are you thinking about?” I asked.“Stuff,” she shrugged.I noticed something on the side of her eye and I cocked my head to the side to get a better look at it.She traced my line of sight and quickly brought her head down and her bangs covered her eyes.But my curiosity got the best of me

    Ares' povI stayed in my room working while keeping my ears down to hear her leave the room but the sound of the door opening never came.I tapped on the keyboard furiously, channeling my anger to it.Why was she so difficult?How did a simple question as that have her flare up so much?She was just so unpredictable.I scowled deeply.Why was she so concerned about the sister of the maid who had died while….My phone rang, pulling me out of my thoughts.I pressed the green button and placed it against my ear.“What?” I growled into the speaker.“Alpha. The first part of the proposal as been corrected. I'd like to run it through you to see if we should go ahead with the rest or if there are any changes you'd like to implement,” Jason said, going straight to the point. “Would you want me to email it to you or come around and….”“Email it!” I replied immediately and ended the call.I intended on keeping Jason away from my house as much as possible.Tabitha's stupid crush on him didn't in

    My eyes fluttered close on their own will and butterflies erupted in my stomach.His lips were so soft and gentle, everything I had ever imagined it to be.The kiss was better than any I'd ever had.I could taste the wine he'd been drinking all night on his lips and I melted into him.He held me closer to him by my hips and our chests stayed flushed against each other.His kiss was gentle and slow, as if he was savouring my taste and commiting it to memory.Unknowingly, my fingers came up and I wrapped them around his silky hair, never realizing how soft they were until that very moment.He pressed his body into me and I could feel his erection poking my stomach.Heat flared out of me and pooled in my panties.“Fuck,” he moaned into my lips as he inhaled the scent of my arousal.My legs felt like jelly at the sound of his moan. My knees buckled and if it wasn't for his hand that were holding me firmly by my hips, I would have fallen.I couldn't compare anything to this kiss because it

    Waking up the next morning, I sighed deeply, feeling like a heavy weight had been placed on my chest.The embarrassment from last night came rushing back to me and I threw my head back and groaned. It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that I finally closed my eyes and let the warm embrace of sleep embrace me and I was already up early.Stretching my body, I turned to the clock on the bedside table.My eyes bulged out of their sockets as I read the time.11:14.That definitely wasn't early.It was already way past his meal time and I knew there was no need rushing out anymore.I relaxed into the bed and let my mind wander.In as much as I still had a lot of questions to ask and things to know about him, I wasn't sure I wanted to have any more meals with him.For the sake of my sanity.The farther I stayed from him, the easier it would be to overcome these stupid feelings that were creeping their way into my heart.I was certain I was just feeling this way because of Jason's

    I mentally face-palmed myself for not taking off my clothes first but decided to think about it later.With my snout high in the air, I howled and that was when I realized how much I'd missed shifting.I walked towards the lake and for a moment, my breath seized.Instead of the shiny brown that my wolf used to be, my fur was now a silver color that shone brightly under the sun.Silver wolfs were very rare and there were a lot of myths about them but nothing seemed out of the ordinary about my wolf asides how weak she was.I stared at my reflection in the clear water for a while before Nyx whipped around and took off towards the woods.Her paws hit the ground and raised dirt on the way.Her speed wasn't so fast but I relaxed back into the run.The wind blew past her beautiful fur and the trees got thicker till we were fully in the woods.Adrenaline pumped through me as I ran tirelessly through the thick forest.Nyx was having the time of her life, running, dodging and jumping fallen br

    Ares' pov“Why do you attract trouble, Luna?” I asked the woman in my arms but when I looked down, she was already fast asleep.I sighed and increased my pace in a bid to get to the house as soon as possible and get her off my arms.Not because I didn't want to hold her.Far from it.Her soft, feminine body fit perfectly into my arms and her nipples, hard from the cold air pressed against my chest, making me lose control.I increased my pace and soon, my house came in view.I pushed the front door open and rushed upstairs.The maids I passed had their heads bowed but blushed profusely from seeing my naked state.I paid them no mind and rushed up to my room and for the second time that week, I was laying here bloodied body on my bed.I threw on the first pair of shorts I could find in my closet and rushed back to her in seconds.I turned her so I could get a clear view of her back and my chest tightened at the cut.Nobody had the right to hurt her except me!Whoever that was was so luc

    My eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the dim light of the room.It was already dark out and I wondered how long I'd been sleeping for.Soon, my eyes came to focus and I groaned, realizing I was in his room. Again.My eyes widened as a thought crossed my mind.“Please, no,” I mouthed and slowly raised the comforter above my body.I threw my head back to the pillow and groaned loudly.Again.I really needed to stop passing out.Nyx!“Nyx?” I called.I waited for a few seconds but there was no response from her.“Nyx?” I called again, my voice coming out panicked.She's weak and injured and I didn't know what that meant for her.“Nyx?” I tried one more time and just when I was about to go into full panick mode, I heard her small voice.“Tabitha?” She said and I breathed in relief.“How are you feeling?” I asked her.“I'm better now. I healed faster thanks to our mate,” she said.My jaw ticked and I was just about to shun her about calling him our mate but the door burst open, cutting me o

    “What?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.A million thoughts raced through my mind at once.Does he know?How come?“Who are you?” He asked again, breaking me out of the jumbled mess that was my mind.“I…I don't understand,” I frowned.I was going to feign ignorance till he said whatever he knew.He cocked his head to the side, studying me intently.I almost shrank under his intense gaze but I kept my eyes glued to his, not batting an eyelash.When he saw he couldn't break me with his stare he sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.“You're silver-wolfed,” he said.“What?” I asked, still holding my breath.“Your wolf,” he repeated.Nyx.He was just talking about Nyx.I subtly breathed out in relief before turning back to him.“And?” I asked.“I haven't seen one of those in many, many years,” he said, laying emphasis on the ‘many’.His voice was heavy and his eyes were clouded. I could almost tell he had had an encounter with a silver wolf. But what I couldn't tell was whe

    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
