The Alpha king's Saving Grace Chapter 98
He was so close to me.I could feel the heat from his body.His scent of musk, spice and a cologne mixed with the sea was so comforting and I resisted the urge to close my eyes and lean my back against him.“Tabitha,” he made his presence known even though he didn't need to.But at the same time, my name rolling out of his lips that he had probably kissed Noelle all day with, felt like a wake up call, and all the anger that the view of the sea tried to suppress, came rushing back to me.I wiped my tears angrily with the back of my palms but didn't move.Maybe if I stayed still enough, I would leave me alone.But there was no such luck for me.He gripped my elbow and turned me around.I immediately yanked my arm away from him like he had burned me.A flickering of hurt flashed through his eyes but he quickly masked it with a hard look.“Tabitha…” he took one step forward and I took two back.He clenched his jaw and ran his fingers through his tousled hair and I resisted the urge to loo

Ares' pov My heartbeat was loud, the waves louder, but none of it could drown the chaos in my mind as I watched her leave.My fingers ached to draw her back. My claws itched to dig into her full hips. My voice almost betrayed me and yelled her name. My wolf tried to break out and nuzzle his snout in the crook of her neck but I couldn't bring myself to do any of it.Her words resonated in my mind and I hated myself a little more each passing second I let her take a step away from me.She wasn't even lying.I was weak.Too weak to fight my demons and choose to be with her.But then, this was the plan, right?This was all I've wanted from the first day she opened her mouth to reject me.To get her to love me so that when I left this earth, I would leave a void in her heart that nobody would ever be able to fill.But each time I stared at her eyes that reminded me of a drop of honey in a bowl of milk, I couldn't bring myself to do it anymore.She was better off hating me than loving me.

Ares' pov I stared at the empty bed but shook away the words my mind was telling me.Not even her faint scent in the room, indicating she hadn't been there for hours, could convince me.My legs suddenly developed minds of their own and I walked deeper into the room.Empty.Walking towards the bathroom, I knocked once and waited for her response, hoping with everything in me that she was in there in a pool of bubbles.But given the time of day, I wasn't sure how likely that would be.When I didn't get a response, I pushed the door open.Everywhere was dry and cold, like nobody had been there in months.Dashing towards the closet, I pushed it open but only the glaring white paint of the walls and my clothes on one side of the wall greeted me.Her things were gone!I stumbled on my feet and as if on cue, my head split in a terrible headache, reminding me of my excessive drinking last night.I massaged my temple in a bid to ease the drumming in my head but the more I thought about her le

Dropping the book and cup of coffee on the coffee table in front of me, I stood up.My eyes were fixed on him with my lips in a thin line.He looked terrible, miserable even. But even in this state, he still managed to take my breath away.His hair was sticking out in ever direction, probably from incessant tugging. His eyes were bloodshot with heavy eye bags underneath. He looked like he could get some more sleep but he was standing there, in front of me.I subtly pinched myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming and that he was really standing there but he was.His eyes were thick with emotions and his chest heaved rapidly.“Tabitha,” he whispered and my stomach flipped, the feeling I always got when he said my name.He charged towards me and before I could register what was going on, his arms were around me in a tight hug that restricted my airflow.My arms laid limp by my sides as my mind swirled at what was going on.Nyx purred, cooed and jumped in my mind and I glared at how cheap s

The world spun around my head but somehow, the only constant remained Ares' striking blue eyes that stared back at me with a thousand unspoken emotions.“Say something. Anything!” I yelled in my mind but no words could come out of my throat.My heart leapt out of my chest and did a number of backflips as I stared at his parted lips.After a while of induced dumbness, my tongue soon connected with my brain and I remembered how to speak.“I…”“Shhh,” he interrupted me with a shake of his head.His calloused palm stroked mine in a firm, yet gentle caress.“Don't feel pressured to say anything back. I'm not telling you all of this so I can get a reply from you right now. I'm just tired of running, and I'm ready to face anything that happens from now heads on. No woman has ever made me feel the way you do and I want you to know how special you are. We're not going to rush anything until you're totally ready,” he paused and darted his tongue out to wet his lips. My eyes followed his moveme

I clasped my hands over my mouth but my lips quivered uncontrollably and another blood-curling cry escaped my lips.In an instant, a pair of strong hands gripped my elbows, pulling me into a hard chest.The murmurs around me began to grow and Ares was whispering things to me but I couldn't hear past the ringing in my ears as I stared at Candice's body hanging off the ceiling, held by a thick rope, with her dead eyes staring right at me.“Shhhh, you're okay. It's okay,” my senses came to focus and I heard Ares whispering.He tried to lead me out of the room but my feet felt like jelly and he held my sides to keep me up.My eyes traveled to the maids, some of them looking horrified while others crying hysterically.“Get this cleaned up,” Ares commanded the guards but I couldn't hear anything more as he simply carried me away, up the stairs.I bunched a fistful of his shirt in my palm as I needed to hold onto something to steady my steps.He pushed the door of his room open and led me to

“Are you okay?” He asked in a small, concerned voice.I stared blankly at the piece of paper in my hands after having read its content more than once.His voice brought me back to reality and I couldn't help the laughter that broke out of my throat.It started as a sound between a sob and a chuckle but soon turned into a full-blown laughter.Ares stared at me with furrowed eyebrows, concern written all over his features.He was probably thinking I had gone crazy.It didn't help that my hair was disheveled and my eyes most likely looked like that of a raccoon from all the crying I'd been doing.But after reading the letter, that was the only reaction I could muster.Candice couldn't possibly have ‘ended it all because her sister was gone and there was nothing else worth living for’ like the letter had said.It was all crazy and didn't make any sense.Tears spilled out of the corners of my eyes and I wiped them away as my laughing fit boiled down to small chuckles.I turned to Ares agai

Ares' pov Our tongues lapped against each other for dominance, which she soon gave to me and I took control of the kiss.Our chests were flushed against one another and we breathed the same air.Pellar jumped and howlered at being intimate with our mate and I smiled into the kiss at his reaction.Another member of my body stood erect as she moaned into the kiss.In as much as I wanted to get lost in the compelling passion of her kiss, I knew that if I didn't want things to go any further, I had to stop.I had promised her earlier that we wouldn't do anything till she was totally ready, and I was bent on acknowledging that.Besides, she was grieving, and even if she wanted this, it wasn't what she needed.I was ready to wait for her.Painfully and reluctantly, I pulled away.She whined softly and it made my heart swell that she wanted me as much as I wanted her.“You're not ready for this,” I answered the unasked question in her mind.“But….”I placed a firm finger on her lips but som
