Ares' pov My muscles tightened as I stared at her.Her eyes held so namy emotions but the one that was so clear was hurt.My heart clenched, knowing I was the cause of that hurt.“Ares,” she called from where she stood, not bothering to walk towards me.I mentally cringe at the emotion in her voice. Or lack of.I didn't move either. I couldn't.It was a huge dick move on my part but at the time, it looked like the best idea.As I looked at the heavy clouds in her eyes, I realized just how terrible it was.“What's going on?” She asked, carefully keeping any emotion away from her voice.“Nothing,” I replied.How could I bring myself to tell her?“Nothing?” She furrowed her eyebrows and a slight irritation was evident in her tone. “You literally ghost me for days and you say nothing?” She spat.I winced at the harshness of her tone, but she wasn't done.“What? Is it something I did? Something I said?” She asked.Just great.Now she was blaming herself for my stupidity.“The love you con

Ares' pov The rest of the morning and afternoon had gone by with us chatting and making love. A lot of the latter.We were currently cozied up in the bed, under the sheet. Her naked body pressed against mine, filling me with warmth while her perky buds poked my chest.I could already feel myself getting hard again even though it had barely been ten minutes since I released my seeds inside her womb for the umpteenth time.She had unlocked an insatiable hunger in me that no matter how many times I had her, it simply wasn't enough.She shimmied a bit, probably trying to find a more comfortable position and my eyes rolled back. I held her hip down to steady her and I released a growl from my chest.“If you don't want me to fuck that little cunt of yours again, don't move against me like that again,” I warned lowly.Something primal flashed through her eyes but disappeared a second later and she giggled into her palm.“Sorry,” she muttered and remained still.I sighed and buried my head i

A small smile played on my lips and a lone tear rolled down my cheeks as I stared at his deathly pale face.I knew I loved this Alpha, but I didn't know how deeply till I watched his almost lifeless. It even scared me how much I loved him.I wanted to tell him. Remind him. But it was all in vain.“Hey, stranger,” I muttered.I took his cold hand in mine, stroking it gently like he would always do to me whenever I was tensed.“I braided my hair myself today,” I told him, turning to the side a bit to show him the not so neat braid hanging at my back.Only, he couldn't see it.I sighed when I didn't get any response.I should be used to the silence by now.It had been a week.A whole week without hearing his voice or seeing his smile or hearing a snarky comment from him.It had been a week, but it still felt very new to me and I knew I wouldn't ever get used to this Ares.He hadn't opened his eyes since that day in the rain, and every day, I blamed myself.Maybe if I had distanced myself

My heart stilled and slammed in my chest a second later, and I looked at him with what was probably an unreadable expression, as everything I thought I knew all my life came crashing down at my feet.His chest was poked out, and I didn't miss the hint of pride in his voice.“What?” I choked out.“Why do you look so surprised?” He scoffed. “I'm telling you this secret, so don't go running your little mouth. Oh, wait, you won't. You're going to die. Like your mate,” he said with glee.My whole body bucked with anger and bright red clouded my vision as I growled and pushed my restraints.All the while, I had a difficult time wrapping my head around the fact that all this while, he was the one responsible for my death.No wonder the voice sounded so familiar, and the scent was one I was sure I knew, even though he had done a good job masking them.“You…you killed her?” I growled loudly, hoping with everything in me that he would laugh in my face, and say he was kidding.He did laugh, an u

It took a few seconds for the words to register in my mind, and for who ‘Master Fae’ to click, and when it did, I tore my eyes away from the spot I could swear I had left Jason in.I made a mental note at the back of my mind to revisit the issue, but for now, I had to focus on not appearing more insane than the guards already thought I was, while pondering why the man was here.I use ‘man’ very loosely, because what am I supposed to call him when I don't even know what he is?All I know is that there's something…. different about him.“Let's go,” I said to the guards.They parted for me to walk in front of them, and I did so with my shoulders squared and head held high.When I got to the living area, it didn't skip my notice that the maids were up and about. My eyes fell on Hilda, who was keenly asking the other maids some questions to probably make sense of everything, and I let out a sigh.Nothing at all made any sense to me.“Where's he?” I asked the guards, expecting him to be aro
