So I'm just going to say this. I didn't upload this chapter yesterday because of internet issues. I'm currently in another city for a few weeks and the internet is bad here, so until I get back home before things get better. It's really sad to see that I was accused of 'playing you guys' when I was facing some problems. I'm really sorry about it honestly. So from now I wouldn't be updating outside the update days anymore. I'll keep to Mon, Wed and Fri so I don't promise and then something comes up because most times I write and schedule its release. So please update will ONLY be on Mon,wed and Fri. If you want to leave a review it's fine, if not. It's ok. I wouldn't force anyone to do so. Thanks, I'll be updating again in a few hours, please be patient. Thanks Jane♥️
Alora. "Who did this?" I asked, looking up at Ares who stared at me silently. Watching me carefully. "My family." Ares responded, tearing his eyes away from me to look at his wrist. There was a deep scar that pierced through the other side of his wrist. That was a scar I had seen a lot of times on Ares. While the other ones were new. There was so much about Ares that I didn't know. He was powerful, but there seemed to be someone else beneath the facade. And I found myself curious about it. But as usual, Ares threw those walls back up, hitting my hand away from his chest before glaring at me. "You're going back to your room." He said, before he started down the hallway angrily, slamming his foot heavily on the cold hard floor. I didn't move, I couldn't move. Not after I had seen that. "Why aren't you healing?" I asked, confusion filled my face before I looked up to Ares who had stopped in his tracks. A dark aura surrounded him and I wanted to step back in fear. But I could
Ares. It's been more than fifteen years since anyone came into this room and played the piano. I vividly remembered locking this room and anything that reminded me of him. The piano was Zeus' and he cherished it greatly. And anytime he played it, it reminded me of the pain I had passed through, that vulnerability and my innocent self. The sound of the piano reminded me that I once had a time where I was defenseless. My heart ached at that. So why had I allowed Alora to play? I knew she was great at it, I've heard her play twice, each time different from the last. The first time she played was more of being curious, remembering the keys and while I felt a tingle it wasn't as compared as the one in my heart right now. The second time she played, I could feel her heartbreak, her fears, anger and sadness. For some reason, it was a pain I could relate to. But this time, the melody was different. The sound of each key floating against each other brought a peace within me that
Ares. I woke up with a start, breathing heavily from the nightmare I had. I rubbed my eyes, sitting up as I adjusted to the bright lights from the sun seeping through my windows and dark drapes. My eyes adjusted to the bright room and I sighed glancing briefly at my bedside clock. It was past six and I sighed, jumping out of bed as I walked into the bathroom. Staring at myself in the mirror, I had huge eye bags under my cold blue eyes and my face was pale with sweat covering my forehead, even my dark hair was wet. I sighed, running a hand through my hair tiredly as I looked down at my torso from the mirror. The blood stained bandage was still wrapped around my stomach. I had accidentally opened the wound last night and was too tired to change it. It wasn't like I could change it anyway. I made a mental note to visit the pack hospital today since I had banned Isabel from the house. A pang of guilt surged through me as I remembered Alora's tear filled eyes from last night. An
**This chapter is dedicated to you! For still being here, thank you♥️ Alora. The moon was bright outside and I had stepped out of the bathroom, my hair was wet, pressing against my back. It was red now, having changed last night as I ran upstairs after Ares had given me the concert tickets. I smiled, tucking my towel under my arm as I reached for the tickets on my bedside table. But even though I couldn't understand what it meant, it still managed to bring a smile upon my face. Drying my wet fingers on my towel, I held the paper in my hand, a grin filled my face and my eyes watered for a second before I blinked them back, blush filling my cheeks as I remembered how I had thrown my arms around Ares last night. I hadn't meant to. Infact, I had been so angry, staying in my room all day, not even listening to Lana when she called me, saying the girls had gone to the mall to get dresses for the pack ceremony tomorrow. I remained in my room all day, watching the garden pool, as th
**This chapter is dedicated to Amy for your support on my buy me a coffee. Thank you ♥️ Alora. Today was the Pack Ceremony. And as I walked out of the bathroom, I stopped to admire the sun outside my window. It was bright outside, and considering it was autumn, I could see some fallen leaves in the garden. Retying my towel around my chest, I rubbed my wet feet against my bathroom doormat and headed towards my bed when the door to my room opened suddenly. I froze at the sight of Ares entering my room. Ares was devilishly handsome in a black suit and black shirt that he had loosed the top buttons carelessly, exposing his hard muscular chest. His suit jacket clinged to his biceps, leaving me with only an outline of those strong arms that had grabbed me a few times. His black hair was carelessly tousled around his head, like he had just woken up and didn't bother caring to brush it leaving it a beautiful mess. His dark blue eyes were tired as they stared at me coldly, before the
**This chapter is dedicated to Sharmaine Martin for your support on my buy me a coffee. Thank you♥️ Ares. "Send another scout to the northern borders." I said, making Seth look at Victor warily. "Alpha, we already did." Victor responded and I sighed running my hand through my hair tiredly. "And the southern borders?" I asked again and Seth nodded. "Yes, Alpha. You've been paranoid all day. You can be rest assured. Everything will go fine tonight. It's past four, you should be heading back home to get ready for the ball tonight." Seth said worriedly and I frowned, looking at my phone expecting a text from Lana saying she has gotten Alora's dress. But I got none, making me sigh angrily. "Are you still taking Alora for the ball as your escort?" Victor asked and I nodded. "Yes. I asked Lana to get a dress for her. She should be heading back by now. I should have sent someone else, she probably has a lot to do." I responded, dropping my phone on the desk as I growled under my
**This chapter is dedicated to Vanessa Cruz for your support on my buy me a coffee. Thanks ♥️ Alora. "Well..I'm going with the Alpha as his escort and his lover." I said, watching four pairs of eyes widen as their jaws dropped. My cheeks flamed red at having said that. Obviously, the girls hadn't realized that Ares and I had somewhat gotten closer and I had been drawn into his plan to get Ezra off his back. Raya recovered first, walking towards me with her eyes squinted as a frown filled her lips. "Was that why you both were holding hands yesterday?" She asked suddenly and I blushed harder, raising my hand at her. "What?! No!" I said a little too loudly, making Camilla frown as she stepped forward to join Raya. "Hold on, they held hands?" She asked surprisingly as Carmen followed after her sister, coming to shake my shoulders. "You held hands with the Alpha?" Carmen asked, her face filled with confusion as Isabel shook her head and came to pull Carmen away. "Yes, and they
Alora. Camilla and Carmen sprinted out of the kitchen with the speed of light to meet their mother who I could hear closing off the sitting room door, breathing heavily as if she had been running to catch the girls. "Wait for me!" Camilla shouted as she followed behind her sister, throwing off the kitchen door as they vanished from out sight. "They are really looking forward to the ceremony today." Isabel giggled, pushing her glasses up her nose as Raya nodded, looking at the door with a smile on her face. "It's their first event so far and they get to see their friends who attend the same human high school with them since they didn't resume at the start of the term." She said and my smile fell at the thought of being the cause of it. It seemed like everything I did was only to cause the girls sorrow when they did nothing else than make me smile and take me out of the shell I buried myself in. I made a mental note to talk to the Alpha about uplifting their punishment. It has been
