It still surprised me to see how calm Ares seemed. I love how much he has changed. I slowly placed myself on Carson’s lap while my eyes were locked on his. A smile formed on my lips when I noticed the small blush on his cheeks. I could hear his heartbeat going faster and faster. I can't believe how long I have waited for this. How much has happened in these last couple of months. Finally, we are going to be one. I pulled my hair to the side and tilted my head, giving him the space he needed. Ares sat behind me, slowly trailing a path with his lips over my shoulders. A soft moan escaped my lips while I felt Carson’s c*ck twitch between my legs. Tears started to fill his eyes, “I love you,” he whispered before his lips fell on mine. Kissing me softly before trailing a path down my jaw to my neck. Until he found the right spot. A shiver moved through my body when he started nibbling it. My whole body was becoming warmer by the second. He was driving me crazy when he grazed the
Ares POV I knew there was a possibility this was going to happen. However, if I ever wanted to be free from my past, from my mistakes. I had to come clean. I had to ask for forgiveness. I knew Ripley couldn’t give me that, I didn’t expect him to come back with an army. But when I saw those red eyes piercing into mine, I knew why they were here. “Keep Jamie safe,” I mind linked Carson. “Always, I promise,” he responded through the mind link. I didn’t want to tell Jamie what I was going to do, she would never let me go. And I can't blame her. Every step I took was harder than the one before. I took a deep breath before kneeling down. Waiting for them to come out of hiding. They must know we are alone here, this isn’t a trap we set for them. Slowly five wolves emerged from the dark forest. Their Power radiated from them. I can't remember the last time I was surrounded by wolves with these auras, not in this life. They bared their canines, snapping and growling in my direction. I
Ares and Carson dragged Smith inside while the group of red wolves stayed outside in their wolf forms. When I was about to follow them, I felt a slight nudge on my shoulder. Ripley's eyes pierced into mine for a moment. It would be so much easier if we could mind link. I wanted to continue my path, but Ripley nudged me again and slowly walked away. Did he want me to follow him? “Well, if you don’t I will,” Rhys' voice echoed inside my mind while I felt her take over. I let her have the lead and watched closely where we were going. Soon we were surrounded by dozens of red wolves, all going in the same direction. I hadn’t had the chance yet to get acquainted with the forest surrounding the cottage. I know why Ares and Carson didn’t want me to go outside. I understood the danger. After around twenty minutes, we arrived at a clearing. Everywhere I looked, I saw red wolves. It seemed they were waiting for something. Rhys stayed close to Ripley, moving through the wolves until we
Jamie POVCarson handed me his shirt when I reluctantly left Ares's lap. The pout that formed made a small laugh escape from both of them. “Just wait, little wolf. When everyone leaves, we are going to enjoy the restored mate bond to the fullest,” Ares said while his eyes were filled with mischief and lust. His words made a shiver move down my spine and my core flutter in anticipation. Carson’s eyes flickered to his wolf when the scent of my arousal surrounded us. My eyes wandered over his now bare chest and I bit my bottom lip unintentionally. An act that didn’t go unnoticed. Before my eyes found Ares again, he had me already pressed against one of the trees and claimed my lips as his. I moaned while I wrapped my legs around him and my arousal only climbed higher. His hand slowly trailed a path over my covered breast until his fingers touched my bare skin. My moans vibrated around our tongues while he dipped his finger between my folds. Even the sound of someone clearing his t
Neither Carson nor Ares wanted to release the hold they had on me when we continued our path. I couldn’t help but laugh at the two overprotective males. Even though I wanted Ares to mark me right here right now, Ripley insisted to wait until we were in the red wolves’ territory. “You were destined to have both of their marks. However, I think it’s safer to complete the marking behind closed doors and not when we are moving through enemy’s territory,” he said. With a grunt, Ares agreed. I held his hand the entire journey, hoping it would give him the reassurance he needs. I’m not going anywhere. I think he doesn’t realize I need him more than he needs me. “We have to shift,” Ripley’s voice brought me out of my thoughts. I didn’t know if I could. My body was exhausted. Every muscle was hurting. I took a deep breath and tried to call Rhys forward, but she stayed back. I tried again when Ripley and Carson had shifted, but still… Rhys wouldn’t come forward. “I don’t think I can,” I wh
His fingers trailed a path over my neck, to my shoulder and slowly moved further down until he twirled them around my nipple. I moaned when Carson captured my lips with his while Ares continue teasing me with his small delicate touches. “I want you riding my cock when I mark you.” Ares whisper made my core clench while a blush formed on my cheeks. Ares gently tugged on my nipple making me part my lips from Carson’s. When my eyes met his, a shiver moved down my spine. I took a deep breath before I position myself. I held his gaze while I slowly lowered myself on his cock. Letting my walls smoothly wrap around it. My breath hitched in the back of my throat while my lips slowly parted. His eyes briefly flickered to his wolf while his canines formed. Carson gently pulled my hair to the side and I tilted my head while my eyes remained locked with Ares. I started to move my hips back and forth making a breathy moan escape my lips. Ares moved closer until I felt his warm breath fanning
Days had passed and we were still waiting patiently to hear what the verdict is. However, my mind couldn’t wander about that for too long. Today was the day we were going to the pack doctor. The only thing Jamie did at the moment was eat, sleep, and be horny. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining. However, it did hurt my ego a bit when she fell asleep during one of our sessions. I don’t think she even remembers, but it will be something that would haunt me till the end of times. “You’re so extra sometimes,” Gideon huffed inside my mind. “Says you.” My eyes rolled in annoyance before I focused back on the nervous taps of Carson’s feet hitting the waiting room floor. “Miss Jones?” A nurse called out, making me growl in response. Jamie slapped my thigh before narrowing her eyes at me. “We aren’t married,” she said and got up to follow the nurse. Since when isn’t marking enough? I shook my head and quickly followed behind her with Carson beside me. Before we could follow inside
Ares POVMy eyes fluttered open when the first rays of sun prickled my eyes. I was tangled between my mates; the sight alone made my heart swell.I slowly and carefully freed myself from their embrace and quickly got ready for my meeting with the elders.And besides my meeting with the elders, I knew it was just a matter of time before Luna Charlotte shows up to get what I promised her. Without my deal with her, I wouldn’t be here.Ripley was already waiting by the car when I walked out of the house.“Were you afraid I wouldn’t show?” I asked with a small laugh.He shook his head with a sigh and opened the door for me. I narrowed my eyes at him and kept a close eye on him.I knew he would do everything in his power to keep Jamie safe. However, I do believe he doesn’t tell us everything.It took us a good thirty minutes before we arrived at what seemed a packhouse. Without wasting any time, Ripley parked the car and went to the door. The omegas that were working around the packhouse fr
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
