Ruin Me, Alpha: Breaking The Enemy's Daughter 43
I ended up in the gardens. The same gardens where Ares had found me after the council meeting, where he'd first started breaking down my walls. I sank onto a stone bench and buried my face in my hands. How had I been so stupid? So blind? All those moments, the cabin, the wolves, the way he'd looked at me in the chapel, I'd thought they meant something. I'd thought he was changing. That we were changing. But it was all a lie. A manipulation. A game. And I'd played right into his hands like the naive fool I was. The pain in my chest wasn't just heartbreak. It was humiliation. It was the sickening realization that every tender moment, every whispered word, every gentle touch had been calculated. Weaponized. I'd handed him my heart and he'd used it to stab my father. "There you are." I looked up to find Julius standing at the entrance to the gardens. But this wasn't the Julius I knew. His face was a mask of cold fury, his eyes glittering with something dark and dangerous. His hand

But he didn't die.The blade glowed brighter for a moment, then dimmed. My father slumped forward, bleeding, wounded, but still breathing. Still alive.I couldn't process it. Couldn't understand. My father was alive. He was hurt, bleeding, but alive.Ares stared at the blade in his hand, confusion flickering across his face. "What—""It didn't work," Julius said, moving forward with poorly concealed satisfaction. "The blade isn't activated properly.""But I saw—" Ares looked at me, and for the first time since we returned, I saw real emotion in his eyes. Shock. Confusion. "The blood activated it. The moonlight—""Apparently not well enough," Luciana purred from her throne. "How unfortunate."My father coughed blood, his body shaking, but his eyes never left Ares's face. "You stupid boy," he rasped. "You really thought it would be that easy?"Ares yanked the blade free, and my father crumpled to the ground. Guards surrounded him, checking his wounds, but he was still breathing. Still a

The journey back took two days. Two days where Ares barely spoke to me. Two days where he kept distance between us, his face carved from stone, his emotions locked down so tight I felt nothing through the bond.It was like that moment in the chapel had never happened. Like his kiss, his promise, had been a dream I'd imagined.My chest ached every time I looked at him. Every time I tried to reach through the bond and felt nothing but emptiness."Ares," I tried on the second day, catching his arm. My fingers trembled against his skin. "Talk to me. Please."He pulled away from my touch like I'd burned him. "Not now, Leah. We need to keep moving."The rejection stung worse than a slap. "But you said—""I know what I said." His voice was cold, flat. Dead. "Things are different now. We're going back to reality. To the castle. To everything waiting for us there."My throat tightened. No. This couldn't be happening. Not after everything. Not after he'd held me, kissed me, made me believe—"So

The Dead Moors looked exactly like their name—dead. Gray mist clung to everything, thick enough to choke on, and the ground squelched under my boots like rotting flesh. No birds sang here. No insects buzzed. Just silence, heavy and wrong, pressing down on my chest until every breath felt like work.Ares walked ahead, his hand never straying far from his sword. Through the bond, I felt his tension, sharp as broken glass.We'd been walking for hours. My legs ached. My back throbbed where the wolf had slammed me yesterday. But I kept moving, kept following him deeper into this nightmare landscape, because somewhere in this cursed place was the chapel. And in that chapel was the blade that would end everything.Last night felt like a fever dream now. His hands on my skin. His mouth on mine. The way he'd made me forget, just for a few hours, why I was supposed to hate him.But morning had come, cold and unforgiving. We'd dressed in silence, packed our things, and started the trek to the De
