He stumbled backwards a bit like I had physically jabbed him with my words.

I immediately felt a pang of guilt but that only lasted a second.

I had finally let it out.

I had fallen for him in the midst of all this chaos, so quietly that I didn't realize when he rubbed off on me.

But for him, this was all a game.

He looked like he was trying to process what I'd just said as his eyes searched mine.

But I put my guard up and crossed my arms.

The silence between us was so loud and the tension thick but none of us seemed to be ready to break it.

We stayed that way, suspended in time and in each other's gazes.

Mine, firm.

His, confused.

His lips were still swollen and wet from the kiss we just shared making it difficult to focus on my anger.

“Tabitha…” he finally broke the silence.

“Don't,” I cut him off with a shake of my head. “Domt say anything.”

I was so convinced that he was just going to walk all over my feelings that I had laid at his feet with his words and I wasn't sure how much m

    I didn't say anything because I couldn't, but he probably took my silence as a nudge to continue.“The wedding is taking place at my cottage down west and we'll be there all weekend.”I was certain my mortification was evident on my face but he didn't seem to read between the lines.He didn't even get to just spring up something like this on me especially when we weren't on the best of terms.“Do you have any objections?” He asked.His formal tone irked me but I had more important things to worry about.It was one thing to know Jason and Galia were getting married but it was a whole other thing to witness it.“No objections. I'll like to kindly decline,” I said, imitating his tone.“You can't,” he said through clenched teeth. “You're going and that final!” He growled, leaving no room for arguments.But I wasn't done.“I'm not going! You can't just force me to do something against my own will!” I was almost yelling.“The contract you signed states otherwise,” he said with an evil glin

    Ares' pov I clenched my fists to keep from slamming them against Jason's face as he eyed Tabitha up.He was fucking getting married.“Assistant,” I filled in for him.The words sounded very bitter in my throat because deep down, I wanted her to be more but I couldn't risk it.I couldn't tell if it was the satisfied smile on Jason's lips or the unbothered smile Tabitha returned to him that made my blood boil more.I was about to lead her upstairs when we were interrupted.“Look who it is,” his annoying voice made my muscles stiffen.I turned around to see the big shit-eating grin on his face.“What the fuck is he doing here?” I growled angrily at the sight of my half-brother.He wasn't even close to Jason and I knew without being told that he was up to no good.He always was.His eyes left mine and raked Tabitha's body and desire filled them.Why did she have to wear those goddamn sexy shorts?I growled lowly and pushed her behind my back and away from his predatory stare.She didn't

    Surprisingly, the shower had been warmer and more relaxing than I'd expected and I felt all my worked up nerves rolling away with the water down the drain.Nyx was very ecstatic about this new development while I could manage was a scowl but I hoped to get by the weekend without any friction.In any way or form.Hopping out of the shower, my eyes fell on the piles of white towels neatly folded.They looked neat enough so I picked one and dried my body and another for my hair.I put on the new pair of clothes and not knowing what to do with my hair, left it to air-dry.I took a deep breath by the door and focused on calming my breath.When I was sure I was ready to face him again, I opened the door.His scent lingered but he was no where in sight.I had expected to be relieved by his absence but to my chagrin, I felt disappointed.I grimaced at my own feelings and walked to the bed.It was huge and could easily fit half a dozen of people. Ares and I could share it and there would be a

    “Baby, calm down,” Jason turned to her but she wasn't having any of it.“I want her out now!” She yelled.“She can't leave,” Jason said sternly.I wish I could.Galia paused and her eyes became teary.“She's the Alpha's guest. She can't leave,” Jason added in a pleading tone.“And it's my wedding! I don't want her around you!” She yelled.Then something clicked.The reason why she was acting the way she was.She was scared.She had seen me with Jason on the funeral day.“Don't yell,” I counseled in a sweet voice. “We don't want you having cardiac arrest.”I could literally see the fumes coming out of her ears as she glared daggers at me.I gracefully rounded the corner and picked my plate of sandwich.I could feel their eyes on me so I made it worth their while as I swayed my hips.I could already feel the lover's fight coming up and that made me feel a lot better.Without sparing them a second glance, I walked back to the room while Galia proceeded to pulling down the building with h

    It was evening and the house was bustling more than earlier.I hadn't left the room since the incidence and hadn't seen Ares either since then but I presumed more guests were arriving from the loud chatter going on outside.I didn't know how long I planned to remain camped out in the room but I had exhausted my energy for human -or wolf- interaction for the day.Scrolling aimlessly through my phone, a soft knock on the door had me looking up.Ares would never knock.I immediately became alert and asked in an stern voice, “yes?” The door was pushed open and pretty much the last person I expected to see walked through the doors.“Can I come in?” Galia asked.Her tone was still snippy and curt.“Aren't you already in?” I asked and turned back to my phone.From my peripheral vision, I could see her lifting her eyes upward, an action she did whenever she was in a shit position and without being told, I knew she wasn't here on her own will.“I…. I just wanted to apologize. I crossed every

    Nyx clawed at me to let her out but I had to stay in control or things would get messy.It was clear now that he had been one of the people that tortured Tabitha and pushed her into taking her own life.If there was any chance I could get revenge for her, I would do it without thinking twice.I couldn't tell whether it was my blazing eyes or my strong hold on his neck, but raw fear flashed through his eyes for a second.“Now, how would you like me shoving my fingers into your eyes, plucking them out and feeding them to you?” I growled in a voice I could barely recognize as mine.Fear mixed with something I could only peg as desire flashed through his eyes and my hold faltered.He grabbed the opportunity and twisted my arm.I held back a cry as he slammed my front against the wall and pinned my hands behind me.I stayed still, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of a fight even though his fingertips were burning my wrists and I was sure it would leave a bruise.“That has to be the

    “Bitch,” I muttered under my breath and resisted the urge to smash my phone against the wall.At this point, I couldn't tell if it was a prank or a threat but with each passing second that I read the message, it seemed more like the latter.“What do they want from me?” I thought to myself.If it was an ex-girlfriend of Ares', I definitely wasn't a threat to them.My mind played back the image of the chandelier falling on me.I couldn't just wait for them to launch another attack, could I?I pondered but I knew deep down that there was nothing else I could do.Walking over the bed and laying on it, I closed my eyes and remained that way for a long time.Soon, the bustling in the house returned and when I opened my eyes, it was already dark outside.I breathed in the air around me and my heart fell when I realized then Ares hadn't been in here all evening.My rolled over on my side, as I became more awake.My presence wasn't even needed here.

    Me and Rodolfo, Galia and Jason, Chloe and the blonde guy, Ares and Noelle, and the other two couples, that was how we sat and that was how the circle went.Maybe it wasn't an entirely bad thing that I was sitting next to Galia….“Chloe, what's the most spontaneous thing Matt has done?” Galia started.“Easy. Stealing a car and driving in a hot chase from the police before returning the car,” she said and the circle erupted in laughter. “Had to pay an insane fine,” matt added.From the way the looked at each other, I could tell they were a couple.“Noelle,” Chloe asked. “What's the Alpha's favorite color?” “Easy. Blue,” she replied with a wide grin and I ignored the stab in my heart.She turned to give him a peck but his eyes were fixed on me. He didn't push her away either.The questions went round till it got to our turn.“Tabitha, what is the most interesting thing about Rodolfo?” The girl next to me asked.I resisted the urge to slap the amused smile from his face before I grabbe

    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
