ARES
One thing I hated after being lied to was being told what to do, and the third worst would be betrayal. But there was always going to be the in-between, which I never liked to be a part of.
My mom was furious. It wasn't my business. She decided to listen to Lucia, so she could handle whatever came with it.
“That's fine. I see how you have turned out to be. Your father did exactly as I thought he would. Be useless and let you go rotten,” my mom blabbered.
I was getting tired and losing my appetite, but half the table was filled with my favorite food and I wasn't about to let it go just because of her. I rarely get to eat my favorite dishes.
“Do you want ano
Ares’ POVI knew my mother well enough to detect when she felt threatened. It showed the moment she saw Evelyn, but the recognition in her face told me she had seen her before.I didn’t doubt it since my mother could be crazy at times. She would spy on anyone with anyone. And that meant Lucia.“Is that how you train our kids?” Mom asked. Her voice was blaring with rage.I was tired and frustrated. The food had gone cold and still she was not dropping this crazy part of supporting Lucia.“Don’t question my parenting skills. I have heard enough from you today,” Dad replied coldly.
NADIAI felt Ares’ wolf from where I stood. He meant business. I had never seen him this way. He defended my mom. That was unexpected of him.Gabrielle's eyes turned slowly and landed on me. I knew she wasn't going to take this easily, but she was equally scared as I was.Arnold relaxed in his seat, saying nothing. I had expected him to be the one asking questions, but he did nothing.I was a bit pissed, but then I realized he was letting Mom handle things so she would be respected. Gabrielle was once a royal and was also born a royal. That meant my mother could not show weakness for a second around her.“I'm not sitting in that stupid chair to watch you all eat. I c

NADIAI hadn't expected the turn of events in my life. Arnold looked like he had seen a ghost. His mouth dropped open, his voice breaking. “Gabrielle?”I had heard that name before. Wasn't that…? Oh hell.Ares confirmed it just before I could change my mind. “Mom?”The dining room turned into chaos and I was lost in it. I turned to see my mother's face from across the table and she looked hella mortified. Her chest heaved heavily, her eyes wide open.Gabrielle stepped in, and my pulse spiked. “What in the world?” I muttered as I watched the woman walk in. She was an exact copy of my mom, the same face but with darker wavy hair.
ARESI chewed my food slowly. I didn’t like this feeling. And Nadia seemed to be riding it for me. Why was I losing my stance with her?Lucia tried to feed me again, and I refused.“Come on, baby. Just one more,” she said, and I held back the urge to tell her off.I gave up, exhaled, and opened my mouth. I chewed again and focused on my food. Lucia went further, cutting a slice of chicken and raising it to my face.I couldn’t help but wonder what she was thinking. “Lucia, I have my own plate,” I whispered. I was trying to be polite.She didn’t listen and pushed the food close to my mouth. “Please, for me. Just this once
ARESOh my God! What is she wearing?! My eyes and mind went wild. My sense of reasoning disappeared, and I forgot why I had come to her room.When I opened my mouth to speak, nonsense spewed out, leaving me more confused than I started.This wasn’t me. “She’s pretty and hot,” my wolf said. His tone was calm with a building excitement.“That’s not helping me right now,” I complained. My breathing had turned ragged, and I swallowed repeatedly to force my nostrils to work.“She looks good. Why don’t you tell her?” My wolf whistled. He never whistled. This was crazy.I made another attempt to speak, and nothing left my lips
