Myla yawned as she woke up the next morning with a stretch. She rolled to the other side of the bed and immediately froze when her hand landed on someone's face. She opened her eyes slowly and saw Ares' annoyed face staring down at her.
Myla screamed then jumped out of the bed. She glanced down at herself and heaved a sigh of relief before turning to Ares with a glare.
“What are you doing in my room?" Ares scoffed.
“Your room?" Myla frowned then her eyes widened when it finally dawned on her. She had thought everything that had happened this far had been a nightmare but it was all real! She was a slave now to this demon boy in front of her and she slept on his bed!
“Oh..... I'm sorry, I forgot" He stared at her for a while then stood up fro
Isabel stared down at Myla with wide eyes. âOh my, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you" Myla's eyes immediately softened. Maybe the lady wasn't as bad as she had thought just now. Myla smiled at her then gently stood up from the ground. âIt's no problem," Cornelius huffed from beside her. âShe's a lady, how dare you talk to her so formally?" Myla clenched her fist. This Cornelius guy was getting on her nerves. âShe doesn't need to answer to anyone except me, Cornelius" Everyone froze, including Myla at Ares' words. Isabel turned to Ares in disbelief. âBut she's a slave, it's only proper...." âShe's my slave not yours and she doesn't need to answer anyone else. Isn't that right, little slave?" Everyone's eyes immediately shifted to Myla and she hated the attention. She turned to Ares and scowled as soon as she saw the smirk on his face. He knew what he was doing; he was trying to put her on the spo
Myla stared back at Ares with wide eyes while he stared at her with a smirk. His eyes trailed down her body and she instantly sucked in her breath. She felt like he was undressing her with his eyes and for some reason, she didn't mind it and that infuriated her. âI'm glad you would, Ares" That seemed to snapped Ares out of his thoughts. He turned to Cornelius with a nod. âLeave us now, I have to be somewhere with my slave today" Cornelius glanced at them hesitantly then nodded. âAlright, if that's what you desire. Make sure you watch over the Alpha king" Cornelius said to the guards before walking away. âLet's go," Ares murmured, then walked away. Before Myla could take a step further, she heard someone yell Ares' name from behind them. They both turned around and Myla saw a boy her age running towards them with a smile on his face. âAres! I hardly see you these days, where have you been?" Myla noticed how hyper the guy was and she was kind of surprised at how freely he
Myla opened her mouth to say something but no words came out. Ares smirked as he moved away from her and placed his hand behind his back. âCome along little slave, we have somewhere to be" Myla was about to nod when she caught sight of Luane and Noah. They waved her over and she couldn't help but smile. âWhy are you smiling? You're liking the idea of spending time with me?" She turned back to Ares and almost sighed out loud. Why was he so narcissistic? âErm.... I really need to pee" Ares stared at her for a while then nodded. âYou can pee behind those barrels" Myla gasped. âI'm not a dog!" Ares raised an eyebrow at her with an amused smile on his face. âListen, this is the Werewolf Realm and the only reason no one has pounced on you yet is because you're by my side" Myla narrowed her eyes at him. âWon't that save you the trouble of having a human besides you? I thought you hated humans?" Ares' eyes immediately darkened an
Myla gulped at his words and immediately turned away from him. She used this opportunity to look around and saw that no one else was shaken up by the scene so this was probably something they were used to. She turned back to Ares and saw that he wasn't even looking at her anymore. âCornelius" She heard him call out and was a little surprised. Hadn't he asked Cornelius to leave them alone? She was even more surprised when Cornelius appeared beside her. âI'll take care of it" Was all Cornelius said before handing Ares another pair of shoes and having some guards clean up the body. Ares nodded at him then took the shoes and wore them before turning back to her. He stared at her for a while then turned Cornelius. âTake her back home, I'll go by myself" And with that, he walked away. Myla sighed but was actually grateful for that. Her head was feeling very light and she just wanted to rest her head. She turned to Cornelius and saw that he
Myla choked on her spit and immediately started coughing. âThat coughing isnât going to get you away from doing what I asked, Little slaveâ Myla gritted her teeth. âI canât do that, Sirâ Ares tilted his head at her. âAnd why is that, little slave? Aren't these little things what I bought you for?â Myla bit her lip which made Ares growl. âDonât ever do that in front of me, Little slave unless you want to see how monstrous I can getâ He murmured which sent chills down her spine. She got over her initial reaction and stared at him with confusion. What should she never do? Defy him? Before she could ask him, he moved away from her and walked towards the closet. âGet me something to drink, little slave and return back here immediatelyâ Myla nodded and quickly ran out of the room with a sigh of relief. That guy almost gave her a heart attack. As she walked around in search of the kitchen, she noticed that the maids were all looking at her weirdly with
Myla walked behind Ares still in shock about what happened. Who the hell was that man? She was too curious now. Just then, Ares abruptly stopped and she mistakenly bumped into his back. She groaned as she rubbed her forehead. What was he made of? Rocks? Ares turned to her with a tilt of his head. âThereâs no way you would have gone that way if someone hadnât directed you there. Tell me who did it, nowâ He said calmly but his eyes told her clearly that he was in no mood for games. Myla glanced at all the maids that were staring at her with wide eyes except the girl that directed her there. The girl was staring back at her with deep hatred and Myla couldnât help but wonder why. She hadnât done anything to anyone yet and if she were to tell Ares that it was this girl that sent her there, she would just garner more hate and she didnât want that. She turned to Ares and shook her head. âNo one sent me there, I genuinely got lostâ Ares narrowed his eyes on h
Myla stared at him for a while in utter shock. She was about to say something when Cornelius barged into the room with wide eyes. He turned to them. âI heard what happened" He walked up to Ares and grabbed his hand. âAre you okay?" Myla furrowed her eyebrows. Why was he asking Ares that when Ares was the one who murdered someone? Ares rolled his eyes as he snatched his hand away from Cornelius' grip. âOf course I am, when have I never been?" Cornelius heaved a sigh of relief then turned to Myla with a frown. âWhat did you do this time?" Myla fought the urge to roll her eyes. She knew for a fact that he knew she was the victim here but he just wanted to put the blame on her. âWhy are you her, Cornelius?" Ares questioned as he walked over to the bed and sat down. âYour uncles are requesting your presence. Everyone is already there so they are waiting for you now" Ares sighed. He could never get to rest around here. He stood up from the
They all turned to her in shock while Ares just looked amused. âI'm sorryâĶ I didn't meanâĶ." She tried to say but was cut off by Ares words. âThen tell us the right way, Myla" They all turned away from her and glanced at Ares in shock. âAres, I know she's your slave but she just basically insulted all of us. We have thoroughly thought about this plan for weeks" Leo spoke up. Ares turned to them with a scoff. âReally? Because the plan I heard just now seemed like it was formed by an incompetent child" They all gasped at his words including Myla. âAres, with all due respect we have been the ones in charge of the raid every year andâĶ " âAnd I'm always called to come help because your plans are always useless. If your plan was so good like you claimed, I wouldn't be needed all the time" Leo frowned then turned to the others for help but no one looked him in the eye. Ares turned to Myla. âTell me what you think we should do, Myla" Myla tur
As Myla and Cornelius walked out of the castle, towards the backyard, Myla kept thinking of ways to ditch him and go look for Luane and Noah. She knew Cornelius was already suspicious of her so any wrong move now and she would blow her cover. She was about to say something when Cornelius spoke up. âDo not worry, very soon Ares will come back to his senses and realize that pushing you away won't solve his problems" She stared at him with a raised eyebrow. âCornelius? Is that really you? You were my number one hater when I became Ares' maid" Cornelius shrugged. âThat was because I felt like you wanted to hurt Ares but you have proved to me that you aren't here for that and that you really like him so I'm giving you my blessing" Myla couldn't help but frown. How would Cornelius feel when he found out that he had been right about her all along? She sighed. âCornelius, is it okay if I can be alone for a while?" She expected him to question her but ins
Ares chuckled lightly behind Myla. They were so close to each other that she could feel his breath on her neck. âWhat's funny?" She questioned as she furrowed her eyebrows. âYou're tense right now. Relax, I'm not going to do anything to you" He whispered. Myla sighed. âI Know you won't do anything but It's just thatâĶ. I'm not used to laying so close to a guy. The only guys I've laid this close to were my father and best friend" Ares raised an eyebrow. âYou lay this close to your best friend? Why?" Myla shrugged. âWe have just always been close from birth so whenever he wants to stay over, he sleeps in my room" Ares frowned. âHmm" Myla giggled. âDo not worry, he's like my brother" Ares scoffed. âI wasn't worried" He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her closer which made Myla gasp. âWhat do you think you're doing?" âI'm helping you get used to laying next me and I'm lending you my body heat, you're welcome" Myla chuckled. She turned around in his arms and stared int
Ares pulled away from a breathless Myla with a smile on his face. âThank you for making this night so memorable for me. I donât think Iâve ever been this free, this alive, thisâĶ happyâ Myla smiled then placed a soft kiss on his lips. âIâm happy to hear thatâ Ares seemed like he wanted to say something else but then, Cornelius appeared and covered Aresâ head with his coat. âItâs raining Alpha, you shouldn't be out here. Iâll take you to a shed right nowâ Ares rolled his eyes as Cornelius led him away while Myla followed behind him. They arrived at an empty shed and Cornelius immediately created something that Ares could sit down on. Ares groaned suddenly. âStop treating me like a child, you donât always have to worry about me. Besides, Iâm fineâ Cornelius sighed. âBeing out in the rain isnât good for you and neither is it good for you, Myla. Why didnât you lead him to a shelter?â âI was the one who wanted to stay in the rain so donât s
Ares held her hand with a smile. âShall we start over and try to enjoy this festival? I've never been able to enjoy it before" Myla smiled as she held onto his hand tightly. âIf you promise to do everything I tell you to" Ares chuckled. âAlright, sure" Myla grinned then dragged him over to the dance going on in front of them. âMa'am, can we dance with you?" Luckily, the woman didn't look at Myla like she wanted to kill her. Instead, she smiled and nodded. âSure" Ares pulled his hoodie over his face as Myla dragged him over to the circle of people dancing. âCome on, have fun" Myla yelled as she swayed her body to the music. Ares stood there awkwardly as he stared at everyone. He didn't know how to dance! Was he supposed to move his body like her? Myla stopped dancing with a sigh as she noticed he wasn't dancing with her. She grabbed his hand and made him look at her. âDo not think about it, just let your body move" Ares groaned.
Of course Myla couldn't say it like that unless she was ready to blow her cover. Instead, she said; âOhâĶ what happened to the chief then? Did.. did you kill him?" Ares turned to stare at her. His stare was becoming so penetrative that Myla had the urge to look away. âThat's a story for another day, Let's go?" He turned away before she could reply. Myla sighed before following behind him. âOh where's ma'am Isabel and Cornelius?" Myla asked as she suddenly noticed that only her and Ares were walking together. âShe was complaining about her feet so I asked Cornelius to carry her back to the castle" âAnd he agreed?" Ares turned to her with a tilt of his head. âWhy wouldn't he?" Myla shrugged. âWell I just thought Cornelius wouldn't want to leave your side especially in a crowded place like this. Anything can happen, you could get mobbed" Ares chuckled. âCornelius doesn't really care about me that much, he just acts in front of you all" Myla gi
Isabel slapped Myla's hand away and pushed her away from Ares. âWhat do you think you're doing, Slave? You seem to have forgotten your place" Cornelius caught Myla before she could fall to the ground. âIsabel, if you're here to cause a scene then you might as well go back to the castle" Isabel frowned. âBut Ares," She whined. âI'm warning you, Isabel" Then he walked away. Isabel glared at Myla before following behind Ares. Cornelius immediately left Myla and followed Ares. âUghh! This is all my fault. If I hadn't spoken out about where we were going, That witch wouldn't be coming with us now. Don't worry Myla, I'll find a way to get rid of her" Lucas muttered as they walked quickly to catch up with Ares. Myla turned to him with a raised eyebrow. âWhy are you saying that to me, Prince Lucas?" He tilted his head. âBecause you and Ares are a thing, right? You like him" Myla scoffed loudly. âI do not like him, why does everyone keep
Lucas suddenly coughed to break the tension. Ares cleared his throat as he looked away from Myla. âYou look nice in that dressâ Myla smiled. âThank you, I really like itâ Ares nodded then turned around and walked away. Cornelius rolled his eyes as he followed him. âIs something wrong?â Myla questioned as she walked towards Lucas but he just shook his head with a smile. âHe just got blinded by your beauty for a second and needs to recoverâ Then he turned to Melody and outstretched his hand towards her. âLetâs goâ Melody smiled then took his hand as they walked away. Myla smiled as she watched the pair. She was glad Melody was bought by Lucas.~ They all stood in front of the palace waiting for the carriage. âWhatâs that? Thatâs not the royal carriageâ Ares muttered as soon as the carriage packed in front of them. âWell you are under disguise, arenât you? If we were to carry the royal carriage then it defeats the whole purpose of this
Myla sat down on the bed with a sigh. After what had happened, Ares and Cornelius had made her stay in the room while they went for a meeting and Myla quickly found out that her day to day life would be boring without Ares ordering her or Cornelius constantly bickering with her. She smiled but it immediately turned to a frown when she realized why she was smiling. Myla stood up from the bed and walked over to the window with a sigh. She didnât understand what was going on but the longer she spent time with Ares, the more she tried to convince herself that he wasnât that bad because thatâs the way it seemed to her but was that how he really was?âĒ Ares drove his hand into the manâs eye socket and dragged out his eyeball. The man fell to the ground, screaming in pain while Ares just rolled his eyes and threw the eyeball on the ground and stomped on it because squatting in front of the man. He grabbed the man by the hair and lifted his head up so they were eye leveled. âI told you
Ares stood up from the table with a sigh. âAre you done eating?â He questioned as he turned to Myla. She nodded and hastily stood up. Her eyes drifted towards his plate which made her frown. âYou didnât touch your food, are you okay?â Ares tilted his head at her with a smirk. âDo not worry about me little slaveâ âWhy canât I worry about you? I asked you to be my friend, remember? And friends care for one anotherâ Ares walked over to her without breaking eye contact. âWhen did I agree to be your friend? So you think itâs right for a slave and itâs master to be friends?â She shook my head honestly. âNo it isnât but I would like to be your friendâ He tilted his head. âWhy?â âBecause you seem like you need oneâ His eyes suddenly softened and Myla felt like she had gotten to him but he just turned away from her and walked away. âWe canât be friends so donât hope on itâ He muttered as he walked past her. Myla sighed. Why did he have to be so difficult? She turned around
