Ares' pov

The rays of sunlight peeked in through the curtains and hit me, causing a frown to mar my forehead.

I turned around a bit to shield my face from the su mn and possibly get more sleep and that was when I felt it.

Her warm, bare leg thrown over my torso with her hand on my chest and my own hand on the other side of her, holding her close.

“Shit,” I muttered and snapped my eyes closed to control myself and my dick.

Controlling myself wasn't easy but it wasn't as difficult as controlling my dick because it was already fully erect.

Seeing her sprawled out of me had to be the sexiest thing I'd seen in a long, long time.

She was sleeping peacefully and when I could finally look at her without feeling the primal urge to have her beneath me and rock into her, I turned to look at her.

She was so beautiful this close.

Her long lashes rested above her cheekbones and I took in every freckle on her cheek.

A small smile played on my lips at her attempt to comforting my last night.

    Ares' povStaring out the window of my penthouse and taking in the skyline view, I didn't get the satisfaction I was expecting.I sipped on my cup of coffee and it was made just the way I liked it but even that didn't bring the comfort I was expecting.Nothing brought me the peace that being around Tabitha brought me.I sighed at the realization and ran my fingers through my hair.She always had a way of creeping into my mind even when I was doing the most mundane things.I had caught myself more times than can count comparing her smile to that of other beautiful ladies I met on a daily basis.Comparing the effortless sway in her hips and comparing the way her eyes lit up whenever she was feeding her curiousity or talking about a topic she enjoyed to other women.The more I tried to stay away from her, the more impossible it got and she clawed her way into my mind.Taking another sip of the hot coffee, I let my mind wander.There was really more to her than meets the eye.Each time I

    I jerked from how hard he had slammed the door and I closed my eyes tightly.I turned to the nearest wall and hit my head repeatedly on it.I've fucked up first hand.I cringed at how horrible and sour the whole situation had become and I walked into my room with slumped shoulders.I hated this feeling.I felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest and repeatedly stormed on.I had never had anyone look at me with a such intensity as he'd done few minutes ago.He hadn't said anything but his eyes said everything his lips didn't.Though blank, there were a lot of emotions behind those dark eyes of his and I felt weak to my knees.Unable to stand on my own feet anymore, I sat on the bed as I weighed the situation.Jason was my boyfriend and I'd made it clear that I didn't want anything with Ares, so technically, I didn't cheat on anyone.But why then was I feeling like the worst, most slimy cheat that ever walked the surface of the earth?I wished Ares had said something.I wishe

    His shoulders were hunched and his eyes were fixed on the screen of his laptop.His hair stuck out in every direction like he had been running his fingers through it all day.I swallowed the lump that had formed at the back of my throat, not knowing whether to go further or remain there till he permits me.He was already very angry and I didn't want to step on his toes even more.Although he never raised his head from the table, he was fully aware of my presence because his body stiffened and his jaw was clenched.Nevertheless, I cleared my throat, announcing my presence.He remained quiet and the only sound in the room was the sound of his fingers gliding across the keyboard.Taking a deep breath, I squared my shoulders and walked into the study.I dropped the tray on the table, maintaining as much distance between us as possible.He still remained quiet and I stood upright.His silence was unnerving and I subtly wiped my sweaty hands down the length of the leggings I had changed int

    The stinging pain had me biting my lips to keep from crying but a second later, his palm drew soothing circles on my ass.He continued his assault till I lost count but what shocked me was the scent of my arousal that filled the air.He noticed it too because he took deep breaths and his body went rigid.He hit the last one and a whine escaped my lips, not out of pain but out of annoyance that he had stopped.What was wrong with me?!“Next time you think about doing something silly like that, think about your punishment,” he said coldly.I quickly tugged my panties up to my waist and blushed under his gaze.If this was the punishment I got each time, then I didn't mind ‘doing something silly’.“Need I remind you that I won't be this lenient next time,” he said and I felt like a bucket of cold water had been doused over my head.I grabbed my torn shirt quickly from the ground and walked towards the door.The pleasure I had felt from his touch had left me and was now replaced by anger.

    I chewed my bottom lips as I watched him with his eyes closed.I had said this countless times before but it seemed like he wasn't getting my message.I didn't belong to him and it was better to make it clear now so it wouldn't come as a surprise when I go back to my life.He opened his eyes slowly and I held my breath, waiting for the string of curses that were sure to follow but to my surprise, he turned back to adding more things to my plate.“Here,” he handed it to me when he was done.Confusedly, I collected the plate from him and he proceeded to plating his own food.His silence was beginning to annoy me.“Are you not going to say anything?” I asked.He gave me a one-shoulder shrug in response.“I'm not going back and forth with you anymore on this, Tabitha,” he said in a bored tone.It was good to see he as no longer mad and now speaking normally to me but at the same time, that unnerved me.“What do you…..”“Shut up and eat,” he cut me off.There was no malice or anger in his

    I couldn't breathe.The air around me ceased.My vision became blurry and the sounds around simply waved past my ears.It seemed like every other part of my body had come to a complete shutdown expect my eyes that couldn't look away from the screen.The wide smiles on their faces mocked me and tore at my heart and I wanted to run the other way and squeeze myself in a fetal position and bawl my eyes out if that would make me stop looking at them but my whole body betrayed me and I could only watch the duo, waving happily at the screen.“Don't they look beautiful together?” Hilda cooed beside me and from my peripheral vision, I could see her wiping tears from the corners of her eyes.What the hell?Once again, my body blocked everything out and my eyes zeroed in on the 59.60-carat oval-shaped fancy vivid pink Type IIa diamond engagement ring on her middle finger.Yes, I knew that ring so well, even with just a glance.I had talked about getting engaged with the luxury all my life and Ja

    He walked a few feet again and stopped.He turned to me and his brows were furrowed together like he was seriously contemplating his next words.For some reason, I was anxious about what he wanted to say but I kept my mouth shut and waited for him.“Do you….would you want to come to my penthouse?” He asked.My shoulders slumped and I felt like a heavy weight had rolled off them.That was definitely not what I was expecting.“I mean…it's nothing serious, just someplace I go when I want to unwind,” he said flippantly when I didn't reply for a long time.From his tone and the way worry lines marred his forehead, I knew it wasn't ‘nothing serious’ but he was trying to play it off cool.Why would he want to invite me to his penthouse?“It's okay if you don't want to…..”“I'll come,” I cut him off immediately.His tensed muscles visibly relaxed and he nodded once.“Get ready then. You can take your bath here and I'll just….”“No!” I disagreed immediately and sprang up to my feet.I was hear

    His body immediately tensed beside me, making me stop in my tracks.“Hey,” a man with a wide smile waved at us.Ares obviously wasn't pleased to see him because his countenance changed and tension rolled out of him in waves.I looked back at the man and the closer he got, the more familiar he became.I narrowed my eyes in slits, trying to juggle my memory and as he pulled his lip ring into his lips, it hit me.The man from that night.“Fancy seeing you here,” he said to Ares and cocked his head to the side.“What are you doing here?” Ares growled.“I just…” he shrugged and dropped his hands by his sides. “Just came to get a good view. Why? Am I also banned from coming here?” He asked with a sly smile.Whoever this person was, he knew how to push Ares' buttons and he was doing it with ease because the man was boiling with anger.“And I see you came with your girl, no?” He continued and his eyes zeroed in on our intertwined fingers.Realization hit me like a freight train.

    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
