“Isabelle,” I called, she looked at me, “now” She nodded and immediately left to search for Ares.“Do you think you can take out the other guy while I shut him up for life?” I asked Cole without breaking off eye contact. He simply nodded.“Hold up on your violence.” Maverick said “I'm sure your hands are itching to punch me, but if it's any consolation, she was mine first before she became yours”I let out a growl “she was never yours”“Temper, temper.” He said “how do you feel about a little chase, let me show you the extent of how prepared I was for you” he said.“I'm not interested in playing hide and seek with you. Let's settle this here and now.” I said, as Cole and I stepped closer in his direction “I've been waiting a long time for this too”“Too bad” Maverick said “I enjoy the games” he said before he and his companion ran in the direction of the pack.Cole and I quickly went after them. Anger and fury igniting my speed. We slowly come to a halt when we see the chaos around us

Ares' Pov.“What did you do to me earlier?” I asked Clara. She said she wasn't helping Maverick, but the incantations and the mumbo jumbo jazz she did earlier makes me believe otherwise.“I thought you said you weren't helping him? Don't tell me you have the chance to kill me yourself?” I asked“Are you terrified yet?” She asked. When I said nothing she continued “don't worry, I still plan to kill you myself” she smiled.“So what did you do earlier?!” “I simply made the wind pick up speed” she shrugged “slicing his palm was fun though”I just wanted to be sure she didn't give me anything like he kept bragging about. I would love to see his face when he finds out he's got nothing.“Your little mate is here” she paused her movements to look at me “don't worry, Maverick will keep him entertained until he comes for your body.”She still believes she can kill me without any issues. That's hilarious. “So, when are you going to kill me exactly?” I was genuinely curious.“You are dying so, I

Roan might not care about his Elemental Color, but Alanda definitely did. Not only him, but everyone in this field did as well. Their Tribe had made the Elemental Affinity test thousands of times, but they had never seen a Dark Elemental Color.However, Alanda had an idea bout it. Juri had commented with him in the past about it. It seems that there are some extremely rare element users in the world. Obviously, the region around the Astreg City didn't have anyone like that. At least, not until now.??Alanda noticed everyone looking at him, waiting for the result of the test. In the end, he could only say what he thought that it was."Cough, Cough. Level 7 Darkness Affinity."Alanda didn't even need to tell Roan to go to the side since he was already there. Not only that, but he could see an awful expression on his face."Next, Rean Larks."Rean smiled brightly at Roan on the other side and ascended to the stage. At the same time, he thought.'Hehe! You definitely will try the same thi

Jason's Pov“Do you think something's wrong?” Josh asked as he paced the room “she's been asleep for two days!”“She is just resting,” I said. I really hope that is what she's doing. “I'm sure she'll come around soon”After Ares passed out two nights ago in my arms, she hasn't woken up. James allowed us to stay until she recuperated.Her parents have been coming five times a day to check on her. They stay far away and just ask James how he's doing. Their actions show how bad they feel about what happened to her.I've given permission for Cain and Killian's pack members to return back home with the promise of holding a meeting soon with them to thank them for their help and give them a run down of what happened.“I think we can travel with her now.” Josh said “surely, you must know how Adriana misses you. Plus I'd like to see my mate and assure her I'm still alive”I took a deep breath. He was right. I do miss my daughter a lot and I know if I stayed any longer, she'll be hard to conso

Jason’s PovAfter we got back last night, I carried Ares up to our room. I wasn’t surprised to see my daughter laying there. I laid Ares gently and kissed her head and my daughter’s, softly. I could have cuddled with them both, but I didn't want to risk waking Adriana, so I sat on the chair at the far corner of the room and watched them both as they slept peacefully.The night felt the longest it had ever been. I watched the sun shine through as the morning finally came. Both my girls were still sleeping. I went downstairs to make breakfast for Adriana after brushing my teeth and washing my face. It's been a minute since i did that. When I finished, I took themeal up to our room and covered it up. Went to her room and got her toothbrush.“I promise to be good if you wake up” I heard my daughter’s voice from behind the door. She was awake and definitely speaking to Ares. I pushed open the door. When she saw me, she jumped from the bed into my arms.“Daddy!” she said excitedly.“Hi, bea
