Ares POV My fingers tapped on the armrest of my chair, waiting patiently. But eager to rip William's head off. A small smirk formed on his face before his office door was thrown open and five warriors started to circle around me. I remained seated, my eyes never leaving Williams. "As you may notice, I'm not complying to help you find that weakling," he said with the same smug smile on his face. "You can either go peacefully, or we will make you, your choice." Gideon was laughing like a maniac in my mind. I know I haven’t been in a large battle recently, but sure he heard the rumors. "Give me a couple of seconds, I'm almost done stretching," Gideon's voice filled my mind. His comment made a laugh escape my lips. First I tried to hide it, but quickly I couldn’t stop the laughter from leaving my lips. Who does this Alpha think he is, taking on the god of war. I shook my head, trying to stop my laughter. I heard some warriors shifting on their feet. Uncomfortable, not knowing w
“Your niece?” She slowly nodded, “she doesn’t know. I tried to keep her safe. I know she doesn’t see it that way, but I protected her from Alpha William. I even tried to keep her from you,” she said. I could hear by the tone of her voice she was embarrassed by her actions. “How did she come here?” “I don’t think I have to explain it to you. You know how reincarnation works. She was born in our family, over and over again. Always living the same type of life. When I found out you were really Ares, god of war, her love. I gave her a book that was left by her parents. It was passed down for generations.” Every life I lived was the same. I was always an Alpha, always a leader. But hearing she had to endure suffering, and torture in every lifetime made me feel broken. I felt hurt and embarrassed about not finding her sooner. I could have saved her from this, from everything. With all my power and status, it took me ages before I found her. I know she has seen some of her past lives, bu
Jamie POV Everything started to blur together, pieces and flashes moving through my mind. “Let’s go girls.” The headmistress’ voice repeated itself. “Straight-line please…” Ares and Carson... My mates… right? “Rhys? Are you here?” I could hear my own voice, but my lips weren’t moving. As if I was spiraling without a light to balance me. Who is Rhys? “Hurry up now...Hurry up…. Wake up, Jamie!!” I jumped awake, panting. Sweat slowly dripping down my face. I looked around, trying to see where I was. Suddenly, someone cupped my face, steadying me. “What is it?” Liza said softly while brushing my cheek with her thumb. When I met her eyes, I could only see concern filling hers. “I..I…” I stammered, unable to find the words. “Are you that shocked you have found your mate,” Liza said with a small laugh. “My mate?” I asked her. My mate, who is my mate? Why can't I remember their names? Wait no, his name. “How could you forget, Alpha Smith, silly,” she said with a squeal. Alpha
Jamie POVEvery passing day we grew closer together. The confusion I once had was no longer there. I wanted to feel every part of his body. Feel him inside me, but he wanted to wait. I wanted to wear his mark, I wanted him to be mine. But I had to wait.He wants to pay his respects to the moon goddess by mating and marking each other at a full moon and not before. He explained the bond would be stronger if we waited for the full moon. I never expected it to be this hard, having him this close but not completely. He was driving me insane. I can't say we haven't cheated a little bit. I touched every part of his body, as he did mine. I never thought I would be this insatiable.I was tossing and turning in bed, Smith still beside me sleeping soundly. I moved closer, gently running my fingers over his bare chest. Somehow the tingles were only there when he was awake. I still don't understand how the mate bond works. But I know he's the one, he h
Carson POV All I wanted to do was rip his head off. But I learned quickly that he and I were the only ones with our wolves here. He created this world, I don't believe I can easily kill him. He somehow got inside her head, making her forget about her mates, thinking he was her mate. I can't take on a god, maybe Ares was right. Maybe he had to be here. But I have to try. I kept a close eye on the two. Smith never left her side. Before they went inside their bedroom my eyes locked with Jamie's. "Please recognize me, put the pieces together. You're not his," I tried to mind link her. But I couldn’t reach her. When they went inside their bedroom my stomach turned. My heart clenched at the thought of what they would be doing in there together. I did notice he hadn't marked her. His scent wasn't on her. "They haven't mated," I mumbled. Relief washed through me. There must be a reason why he's waiting. Maybe I can ask Ares for help. Or at least the Ares that is in this world. But e
Smith dragged me to our room. Holding my hair tightly in his hand. Hurting me with every step he took. I screamed and fought. Trying to escape out of his grip. The lifeless body of Carson was moved out of sight. My heart clenched at the thought of him. He stormed inside our room before he threw me on the bed. The tears that escaped my eyes never stopped. “You aren’t my mate,” I said. The anger that rushed through my veins was somehting I havent felt before. Smith's eyes pierced into mine. The ones I thought I loved changed into something I hate. “You are,” he said through gritted teeth. “A mate of mine would never hurt me.” Before I could take my next breath, my cheek burned from the slap he gave me. The taste of copper moved over my tongue. “You’re mine,” he said while his hand moved to my throat, squeezing it shut. I struggled in his grasp. I tried to scratch him, kick him
Jamie POV I sneaked back inside through the window, hoping I didn’t make a sound. I was a bit surprised to see Smith was still sound asleep. I moved as quietly as possible. Not knowing what to do next. The last words that left Carson’s lips before Smith killed him, resonated inside my mind. “All this isn’t…” I looked around the room, searching for something that I could use against Smith. He doesn’t deserve to live after what he did. I don’t believe he is my mate. And even if he is, a monster doesn’t deserve to live. After I couldn’t find anything, I stepped inside the bathroom. A sigh left my lips when my eyes met my own in the mirror, my hand trailing a path down my neck. Moving past the bruises, Smith left, to the spot where I felt like something was missing. I’m not backing down. With a trembling hand, I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my hand. Wit
“I’m ready. Are you?” Matina asked. With a heavy sigh, I nodded. I hoped Carson would wake up before I went in to get Jamie. Or at least try. Every passing second, I could feel Carson getting stronger and Jamie getting weaker. The bond between me and Jamie is almost nonexistent. Matina handed me a glass, gesturing that I should drink it. It wasn’t the same as with Carson. However, I had no choice but to trust her. I drank the glass empty in one gulp before handing it back to Matina. Ignoring the filthy taste on my tongue, I laid down beside Jamie when my surroundings started to blur. The last words I heard before the darkness consumed me were, “bring her back, Ares.” Slowly the darkness was being replaced by light. The silence that surrounded me before was being replaced by… moans. “What is happening?” I asked Gideon. Who only grunted in response. When my vision was restored, I almost jumped out of my skin when I saw Estelle riding me. “Oh no, get her off now!” Gideo
Jamie POV Years had passed in the blink of an eye, and I was happier than ever. All the struggles we went through, were worth it in the end. I was immensely grateful, that Ares choose this life with us, instead of power. That he choose this mortal life, instead of moving back to the god's lands. “Not so fast, you two,” I yelled after Kaitlin and Nathanial, who seemed to be ignoring me while they increased their pace. I softly caressed my bump, enjoying the sight of my rascals. How could you love someone so much that it almost hurts, was more than I could ever wish for. “Happy birthday, love,” Ares whispered, wrapping his arms around me and resting his head on my shoulder, inhaling deeply. “Have I told you how much I love you?” He asked while his lips brushed over his mark, making a pleasurable shiver move through my body, awakening my core. “Hmm, maybe you should remind me,” I murmured. “Knock it off, you two,” Ripley’s voice snapped us out of our moment, and I couldn’t h
With hollowed cheeks, I let Carson gently trust inside my mouth. His pace was slow and deep, making my sexual frustration rise. I glanced up, and I almost came when I saw Caron’s parted lips and flushed cheeks. Fuck, he looks so delicious. I tried to pick up my pace, but the hold he had on me, made it impossible. There was no way I could hold back the orgasm that was crawling at the surface. I whimpered and moaned around Carson’s cock when Ares picked up his pace, attaching my sensitive clit until my body shattered, and my juices spilled out. I was a mess, riding the aftershocks of my orgasm, when Carson’s pulled himself out of me and gently brushed his thumb over my lips. “Perfect,” he said. I took a couple of deep breaths, trying to calm my body, but the moment of peace was quickly stopped when Ares claimed my lips, making sure I would taste myself on his tongue. Our position changed, without parting our lips. He lifted me in his arms, and I instantly wrapped my legs around his
Ares POV The moment Carson stepped inside, his eyes slowly wandered over my naked body. “Is this your plan? How is this going…” he stopped midsentence when he realized what the plan was. “How didn’t I come up with that sooner,” he mumbled more to himself than me. “Do you need help getting undressed?” I asked, pulling him back to the present. A small blush formed on his cheeks while he tauntingly slow started to remove his clothes. “We have to make sure she feels it right?” he asked with a hint of mischief in his eyes. Of course, this wasn’t going to be quick. I knew they were at it for hours to make sure I felt it when I wanted to kill Aegon. I groaned when he stood before me, naked. Who would have thought I would fall in love with another man? I closed the distance between us and brushed my fingers over his throat, while this need to choke him while fucking him senseless came into mind. My cock twitched because of the thought. I licked my lips before I pressed them on his
Ares POV “How much longer?” I roared for the millionth time. It has been two agonizing weeks. Jamie still hadn’t woken up, and the longer she stayed like this, the more I worried she would never wake up. “Alpha, I don’t know. The poison has left her system, and her wolf is fine. I don’t know why she won’t wake up,” her voice trembled with every word she spoke. “Isn’t there anything I can do?” I was desperate. This feeling was almost worse than the feeling I had when her soul was trapped in that world Hephaestus created. “You can try to reach her through the bond by pushing heightened emotions through it. Terrible fear, rage. As long as the emotion is strong enough, it could wake her up,” Matina said with care. I slowly nodded, and she left without another word. We hadn’t closed off our bond to Jamie, so she must feel our despair and fear. And seeing she wasn’t waking up, it wasn’t enough. “I know,” Gideon said, sounding smug. “Care to share?” There was a moment of silence whi
Carson POV I could feel myself becoming stronger with every passing second, but the pain remained. I knew it wasn’t my own that I felt. It was Jamie’s. My heart ached for her. All I wanted was to hold her in my arms. However, she only had eyes for our pups, and I can’t blame her. They looked so peaceful in her arms. As if nothing had happened. I softly brushed my finger over Nathaniel's cheek, letting the warmth of his skin seep into mine. “Do you want to hold him,” Jamie whispered. She didn’t have to say that twice. I picked up Nathaniel and let him rest against my chest. I hated that I was covered in blood, my own and Aegon’s. “Are you tired?” I asked Jamie when I noticed her eyes slowly closing. She only hummed in response before she fell asleep. I could feel her becoming weaker. The feeling alone made a tear stream down my face. Ares gently grabbed Kaitlin before he let Jamie rest against him. “We’re going to make it,” he whispered, but the fear in his eyes. The worry behi
Ares POV My breath hitched in the back of my throat when I saw what Jamie was about to do. I didn’t want her to drown in the darkness. She shouldn’t be the one that takes their lives. Aegon wasn’t strong enough to help Charlotte fight the command. He didn’t even respond to Jamie’s truthful words. He knew they made a mistake going down this path. A mistake that would cost both of their lives. “Jamie, let me do it,” I whispered when I stood beside her with our pups in my arms. “No, I made a promise, and I’m keeping myself to that,” she hissed while her eyes remained locked on Charlotte and Aegon. I didn’t know what she commanded next, but the change in the air told me enough. My eyes snapped to Charlotte, and before either of us knew what was about to happen, her claws formed on her free hand, and she pushed her claws through Aegon’s chest. Aegon cried out in agony while a stray tear moved down Charlotte’s cheek. Aegon had to release his grip on the hand she still had on her throa
Jamie POV Rage. All-consuming rage. My blood was boiling while my skin tightened. How dare she? It all happened in the blink of an eye; I was thrown against Carson while I felt something puncture my side. I coughed rapidly to get the air I desperately needed. The scent of my own blood surrounded me, and I knew I was injured. But I had to push forward. I pushed myself off Carson and let the same pull as before lead me to my pups. There was no escaping me at this point, and I would have back what was mine. I sprinted out of the room and headed into the forest. Before I even realized Ripley’s wolf running beside me. Ares and Carson’s concerned voices filled my mind, but still, I wouldn’t slow down my strides. “I need you to take out the witch. Otherwise, I can’t command Charlotte,” I told Ripley. Ripley lunged for Tara when Charlotte was about to step inside a car. Ares and Carson stood next to me before another breath could leave my lips. Tara screamed at the top of her lungs w
Ares POV The turmoil in my mind slowly settled when all I could feel was rage and this primal need to protect what is mine. We were hiding in the shadows outside of Charlotte's packhouse, waiting for her warriors to leave. Still, we would be outnumbered, but our odds were better with fifty of her warriors gone. “They are here,” Jamie mumbled. Only when my gaze met hers did I notice the glimmer that moved over her eyes. It wasn't the same as I saw her wolf press forward, but something else. I took her hand in mine and gave it a reassuring squeeze. One that we both needed. The soft rustling around us made me freeze on the spot until Carson’s scent wafted around me. “We can use the tunnel. It’s unguarded. It doesn’t seem she knows we were coming here,” Carson whispered. No one spoke another word when we turned around and let Carson lead us to the underground tunnel. The same we used when we ran away from Hephaestus We still had to choose which of Charlotte’s pack houses we shoul
Ares POVIt took us longer than I wanted, but the moment we stepped over the border, Jamie’s voice echoed inside my mind.“Did you find them?”I wanted to tell her that we did, but we only had a lead. “We are going to Litochoro.”Carson was in charge of gathering the warriors while I made my way to the packhouse. I was in desperate need of holding my mate in my arms and when I heard her voice inside my mind seconds ago, I knew she needed me too.I quickly shifted back and rushed inside. When my gaze met hers, a small smile formed on her lips. After I put some clothes on, I made my way to her and wrapped my arms around her small frame.“Are you okay?” I whispered while I held her close.“The poison is… I had some trouble with my sight, but now that you’re here, I’m fine,” she said with a small smile that did nothing for the pain that roamed through her eyes.I didn’t know what to say, but I’m glad that my presence helps her wolf fight the poison.“We are leaving in fifteen minutes. I’m
