My eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the dim light of the room.It was already dark out and I wondered how long I'd been sleeping for.Soon, my eyes came to focus and I groaned, realizing I was in his room. Again.My eyes widened as a thought crossed my mind.“Please, no,” I mouthed and slowly raised the comforter above my body.I threw my head back to the pillow and groaned loudly.Again.I really needed to stop passing out.Nyx!“Nyx?” I called.I waited for a few seconds but there was no response from her.“Nyx?” I called again, my voice coming out panicked.She's weak and injured and I didn't know what that meant for her.“Nyx?” I tried one more time and just when I was about to go into full panick mode, I heard her small voice.“Tabitha?” She said and I breathed in relief.“How are you feeling?” I asked her.“I'm better now. I healed faster thanks to our mate,” she said.My jaw ticked and I was just about to shun her about calling him our mate but the door burst open, cutting me o

“What?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.A million thoughts raced through my mind at once.Does he know?How come?“Who are you?” He asked again, breaking me out of the jumbled mess that was my mind.“I…I don't understand,” I frowned.I was going to feign ignorance till he said whatever he knew.He cocked his head to the side, studying me intently.I almost shrank under his intense gaze but I kept my eyes glued to his, not batting an eyelash.When he saw he couldn't break me with his stare he sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.“You're silver-wolfed,” he said.“What?” I asked, still holding my breath.“Your wolf,” he repeated.Nyx.He was just talking about Nyx.I subtly breathed out in relief before turning back to him.“And?” I asked.“I haven't seen one of those in many, many years,” he said, laying emphasis on the ‘many’.His voice was heavy and his eyes were clouded. I could almost tell he had had an encounter with a silver wolf. But what I couldn't tell was whe

Morning rolled in quickly and my eyes fluttered open.I looked out the window and it was still dark out.I turned to check the time on the bedside table and it was still 3:11.I took in my surroundings but a frown soon made its way to my face as I saw Ares laying on the couch.I could easily see in the dark now because Nyx was awakened, which aided my werewolf vision.I had no memory of laying on the bed last night.The last thing I remembered was us moving from the work table to the couch.I brought my wandering mind back to reality and stared at the man sleeping opposite me.For the first time, I saw him sleeping. I almost thought he didn't sleep.I sat up on the bed to have a better look at him and a smile I couldn't control formed on my lips.He looked so peaceful.No frown.No creases on his forehead.No glare.Just as peaceful as the babies that he so much disliked.I giggled softly at the thought of comparing him to a baby to his face. He would probably have my head.I couldn't

Ares' povStaring out the window of my penthouse and taking in the skyline view, I didn't get the satisfaction I was expecting.I sipped on my cup of coffee and it was made just the way I liked it but even that didn't bring the comfort I was expecting.Nothing brought me the peace that being around Tabitha brought me.I sighed at the realization and ran my fingers through my hair.She always had a way of creeping into my mind even when I was doing the most mundane things.I had caught myself more times than can count comparing her smile to that of other beautiful ladies I met on a daily basis.Comparing the effortless sway in her hips and comparing the way her eyes lit up whenever she was feeding her curiousity or talking about a topic she enjoyed to other women.The more I tried to stay away from her, the more impossible it got and she clawed her way into my mind.Taking another sip of the hot coffee, I let my mind wander.There was really more to her than meets the eye.Each time I

His shoulders were hunched and his eyes were fixed on the screen of his laptop.His hair stuck out in every direction like he had been running his fingers through it all day.I swallowed the lump that had formed at the back of my throat, not knowing whether to go further or remain there till he permits me.He was already very angry and I didn't want to step on his toes even more.Although he never raised his head from the table, he was fully aware of my presence because his body stiffened and his jaw was clenched.Nevertheless, I cleared my throat, announcing my presence.He remained quiet and the only sound in the room was the sound of his fingers gliding across the keyboard.Taking a deep breath, I squared my shoulders and walked into the study.I dropped the tray on the table, maintaining as much distance between us as possible.He still remained quiet and I stood upright.His silence was unnerving and I subtly wiped my sweaty hands down the length of the leggings I had changed int
