Jamie (Aphrodite) POV My whole body was aching as if I had been hit by a train. I felt myself slowly waking up. I could hear Ares calling for me. However, my throbbing heart made the sound of his voice hurt my ears. “Can you please be quiet,” I mumbled. He responded with a small growl. I tried opening my eyes, but the sun was hurting my eyes. I noticed we weren’t in the packhouse anymore. My eyes started adjusting to the light. Only then did I notice we were in the same car as the day I went shopping with Carson. I found the scent of Ares southing me, making the pain slowly subside. I was still mad at him for what he did. But with everything I saw, I understand why he did it. I noticed him staring at me. I laid back down, placing my head on his lap. “I’m not forgiving you, but I do understand.” I looked up, meeting his eyes. I felt the mate bond snap into place. I could hear my wolf Rhys screaming, MATE MATE MATE. I chuckled, I could feel how happy she was she could finally rec
Carson POV It hurt me to say those words, but I had to listen to my Alpha. He knew instantly she was talking to me. I want to be there for her, always. Be by her side. I hope I can someday, but I doubt he will let me. The pull she has towards me will fade. The love she feels for me will fade. With her being the reincarnation of the goddess Aphrodite or is she Aphrodite? Aach, my head. It is so confusing. Ares wants me to reject her, but I can't. The pain it will bring her, the pain it will bring me. I won’t reject her. I know she doesn’t recognize me as her mate, so maybe it won’t hurt her. But I can't let her go. I know if I do anything, Ares will kill me. He made that perfectly clear. He doesn’t care what it would do to Jamie. He only wants her to be his. When she completes the mate bond, there will be no room left for me. Her friend, Liza, hadn’t been quiet for a sec. My head hurts because of her constant blaring. I don’t know if she noticed, or if Jamie told her anything. But sh
Ares POV She can't keep denying me. I know what she feels. She has to accept me as her mate. If she doesn’t, we would both be back in limbo. With everything she saw, all her past lives. How could she still choose not to complete the marking? When she slapped me, I left her room. I needed to give her space and time. She is only eighteen. But she is Aphrodite, so actually she is older than me. Well, her soul is. I sent some of my men to get some food for us. I don’t want to leave this house until the marking is complete. My beta can take care of the pack business. It would keep him busy and distracted. He will soon forget about her. He can't be her mate. Impossible. After I did some minor work, I made my way back upstairs. I was debating if I should see her, or leave her alone. I was pacing in the hallway when I heard her moans. I walked to her door, listening in. By the sound, I knew it was her and Carson. “I want to be with you, you are my mate. But so is Ares. He has to accept it
Jamie POV Ares took me back to his house, without answering my question. I had a feeling he was up to something. I couldn’t put my finger on it. Ares wanted me in his bed, but I wanted to be alone. Actually, I wanted to be in his arms, but I couldn't. He has to accept I have two mates. They are both parts of my soul, I need them both to feel complete. To feel truly happy. He has to come around. I was lying in my bed, my mind was going over everything that happened. The pull towards Ares grows stronger every second. As if my mark is burning, my entire body is burning in desire for my mate. I could feel my arousal rising, I needed some sort of release before I could sleep. I tossed and turned, kicking the blanket off me. A small knock was on the door before Carson walked inside. “I can smell you outside,” he said with a purr. My eyes wandered over his bare chest, slowly moving down. His boxers were tight around his hardened length. I bit my lip unwillingly. I got up on my knees a
I thought because of what happened a couple of nights ago, Ares accepted Carson. Letting us be together. Having both of my mates by my side, the mates chosen by the goddess herself. Ares made sure Carson was busy, he sent him to one of his packs. He said that there was a conflict there and Carson had to stay to resolve it. I had a feeling it was a load of crap. He just wanted Carson out of the way. Making sure we couldn’t be together. Every day was getting more difficult to be without him. But Ares didn’t seem to care how much it pained me. I knew he wanted me for himself. He did try his best, taking me out to dinner. Making sure everything was perfect. But it could never be perfect without Carson. Because of the distance between me and Carson, we couldn’t even mind link. We did text each other every day. But it was not the same. I wanted to hear his voice, feel him in my mind. I was having lunch with Liza, she kept saying loving words about Ares. How much she likes us together. “
I lifted her up and took her to my bedroom. She couldn’t resist me anymore. Finally, she’s mine. I tossed her on my bed, making her whine in response. She clawed her way back to me. Eagerly she kissed me again, her fingers roamed over my body. She started undressing me. She wasn’t holding back anymore, and neither would I. Her fingers made a path through my chest, moving down. The tingles emerged everywhere she touched. Making me moan out of pleasure. My member was already throbbing in anticipation. We needed to have her now, claiming her. Claiming what is ours. I gently pushed her on her back, kissing her roughly. I pressed myself between her legs, pushing them further open with my body. She pressed herself against my hardened length while a moan left her lips. Vibrating around my tongue. A small piece of guilt lingered in my mind. Am I making the right call by taking her in this state? I want her to want me for me, not because of the concoction. I knew the concoction wouldn’t las
Unknown POVI screamed and screamed. Destroying everything in my path. They have found each other. After all these decades, they found each other. NO! They don’t deserve happiness. I know I promised not to interfere. But I can't let her be with him. She was supposed to be mine. She was my wife. She betrayed me. She doesn’t deserve a happy ending. NEVER!Aphrodite, I’m coming for you and this time there will be no loop hole. No one to save you from my wrath. You and Ares will never be safe again. I will make sure you never set foot on Mount Olympus. NEVER!She belongs to me! I thought it would bring me peace, having her live her life as a mortal. Not finding love, over and over again.It’s time to take matters into my own hands, but first I need to find a vessel.
We sat down in my office; annoyance was written all over my face. I hate when Alpha’s come by unannounced. I wanted to go back to my mate. The whole conversation I had the feeling he was stalling. “Why do you think he is really here?” I asked Carson through the mind link. “No idea, there are no wars brewing. As far as I know. He’s stalling,” Carson replied. I was glad he noticed it as well. I thought maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me. Alpha Smith kept talking about small pack matters, those that are not any of my concerns. I lifted my hand up, signaling to stop talking. “Why are you here?” I said with a small growl vibrating through my chest. My patience has its limits Alpha Smith cleared his throat, trying to hide something. His discomfort or was it something else. He looked to Carson and then back to. Me before continuing, “it has come to my attention that you have someone here…” his eyes roamed the room once more before his nose tried to pick up a scent. The growl
