All Chapters of Alpha's Redemption-Countdown To 90 Days: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ARES'S POVIt was almost midnight when I eased the limo into the dimly lit garage of my mansion and turned off the engine. Exhausted, I slumped into the driver's seat, barely able to keep my eyes open. I had sent Dolph home two hours earlier, knowing I'd be working late at the office. He had protested, always eager to serve me, but I insisted on driving myself home.As I sat in the garage, I pondered the strange behaviour of my staff. They would often protest and opt to work even when I ordered them to take a break. But as soon as I insisted, they would leave with relieved smiles. I couldn't understand why.The reason I had dismissed Dolph was that I didn't want to involve him in the mystery of the strange scent that had been following me. There was something dangerous and unknown lurking around, and I didn't want to put anyone in harm's way.Stepping out of the car, my nose twitched as the scent grew more assertive. It was almost as if there was a cloud of it hanging over my mansion.

KALILA'S POVAs the Rolls Royce came to a halt in front of Ares's mansion, I mumbled a quiet "thank you" to Jeremy. There was a strange look in his eyes as he turned to stare at me, studying me closely. "Are you sure nothing is the matter, Dahlia?" he asked.The drive had been silent, and I had said nothing. Jeremy seemed to sense my emotions and understand them clearly, as he didn't attempt to start any conversation."No, Jeremy, you've been so helpful to me recently. I can't thank you enough," I replied."Say no more, Luna," he grinned.I shot him a stern look, and he released a chortle. Once I got out of the car, my mind again focused on the issue that had been bothering me all day.As I entered the house, lost in thought, I didn't even realise when Angela slipped up beside me and took my handbag, as had become her habit. I only noticed her presence when I arrived at the bedroom door and almost jumped."Angela? How did you get here?" I asked, puzzled."I walked you up, ma'am," sh

ARES’S POVI strode into the mansion and was immediately struck by the elegant décor. The decorations were flawless, befitting of the coronation of an Alpha. Judging from the bills Jeremy had left on my desk, the event planner was quite pricey. Earlier, before leaving the house, I had observed Dahlia in action as she hustled and bustled around the hall, supervising the servants and coordinating the arrangements. I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for her determination and dedication to ensuring everything ran smoothly. However, that feeling was quickly replaced by annoyance when a thought suddenly struck me."Why is she doing all of this when I've made it clear she wouldn't be present at my coronation?"The thought lingered in my mind as I watched her. Despite her efforts to impress me with her work ethic, I remained resolute in my decision. Dahlia's persistence was starting to grate on my nerves. If she thought she could win me over by working hard, she was wasting her ti

KALILA POV"I'll take it from here," Ares said, dismissing the others with a wave of his hand. The sound of retreating footsteps faded away, and soon after, another set of footsteps approached the cage. Ares grasped the bars tightly and spoke slowly, his voice low and menacing, "I know you're awake, Dahlia."I lay still, trying not to betray any movement that would confirm his suspicion. But inwardly, I was trembling with fear. Maybe I hadn't thought this through enough. Ares was not only wicked and heartless, but he was also smart, and I was afraid I had underestimated him. I heard the sound of a lock snapping, and the cage door creaked open as Ares stepped inside.He didn't say anything for a moment, and I wondered if he was staring down at me, waiting for me to make a move. I didn't dare open my eyes, not even for a second. Suddenly, his warm fingers brushed my hair aside, and I couldn't help but squirm at his touch.In an instant, I knew I had made a mistake. A huge hand grasped

Kalila’s POV:I heard roars and thunderous applause from above. It was apparent to me that the ceremony had either started or finished. There was a slight chance that Ares was not already rolling on the floor and clutching his stomach, maybe even coughing out blood. That would have been a wonderful sight to behold if my freedom from this world didn't depend on his life."Nova! Help me out; what do I do?" I asked in a panic.Time was running out, and with each passing second, my anxiety and heart rate increased. The previous night, time seemed to have been crawling by, but now, it was racing with the speed of a cheetah."Come to think of it, staying here with me is not so bad after all," Nova replied."Nova!" I exclaimed, frustrated.That was her way of saying that my situation was utterly helpless. I looked around the corners of the cell, not fully aware of what I was looking for. A gap? A hole? A crack in the walls? I honestly didn't know."Nova, when does my... when does Dahlia's wo
