Hi everyone, the update schedule is changing. You can check my f*book page for the explanation. You can also find my free story there. Gives you something to read while you wait for updates :)
"BRING ME HIS HEAD!" My voice echoed through the packhouse, rage pumped through my veins. Where is he? Where is Alpha Smith? He never returned to his pack, it's as if he just disappeared. There were whispers that he had fled to Europe. But when we sent some of our warriors there, the whispers changed, saying he's in Mexico. I ordered every Alpha to help in the search. Some declined, fearing for their own safety if they sent out too many of their pack members. Today was the day we went to one of those packs. Today I would go back to where I found her. Gideon was ranting my mind, pleading with me not to kill the entire pack. I hated how they made her feel weak. I wanted them to be punished. But I knew she wouldn't want me to, I have to be better. I have to be better for her. Carson stayed behind, not wanting to part from Jamie's side. I don't blame him, he can keep her safe. But I don't think Alpha Smith meant to kill her. I still don't understand his motives. I still can't figure
Carson POV It didn't take a lot to convince Ares to let me stay with Jamie. I was grateful he let me be here, I don't know how he does it. The only thing that's on my mind is Jamie. I can't even think straight. Every day I hoped there would be a change, hoping she would wake up. I know Ares went back to Jamie's old pack, I hope he kills their Alpha and Luna. I don't think Gideon wouldn't allow it, but fingers crossed. I heard the rumors, how they traffic she-wolves. But I could never find any evidence. If I had only searched harder, I could have gotten her out of there sooner. We even had a coven of witches working 24/7, trying to find a solution for the spell Jamie is under. But every day was a disappointment. I hold Jamie's hand gently, before kissing it softly. "I'm sorry for not being able to protect you," I mumbled under my breath. Her hand softly twitched, maybe it was my imagination. But I can't have imagined it, right? I mind linked to one of the staff to bring Tara up.
Ares POV My fingers tapped on the armrest of my chair, waiting patiently. But eager to rip William's head off. A small smirk formed on his face before his office door was thrown open and five warriors started to circle around me. I remained seated, my eyes never leaving Williams. "As you may notice, I'm not complying to help you find that weakling," he said with the same smug smile on his face. "You can either go peacefully, or we will make you, your choice." Gideon was laughing like a maniac in my mind. I know I havenโt been in a large battle recently, but sure he heard the rumors. "Give me a couple of seconds, I'm almost done stretching," Gideon's voice filled my mind. His comment made a laugh escape my lips. First I tried to hide it, but quickly I couldnโt stop the laughter from leaving my lips. Who does this Alpha think he is, taking on the god of war. I shook my head, trying to stop my laughter. I heard some warriors shifting on their feet. Uncomfortable, not knowing w
โYour niece?โ She slowly nodded, โshe doesnโt know. I tried to keep her safe. I know she doesnโt see it that way, but I protected her from Alpha William. I even tried to keep her from you,โ she said. I could hear by the tone of her voice she was embarrassed by her actions. โHow did she come here?โ โI donโt think I have to explain it to you. You know how reincarnation works. She was born in our family, over and over again. Always living the same type of life. When I found out you were really Ares, god of war, her love. I gave her a book that was left by her parents. It was passed down for generations.โ Every life I lived was the same. I was always an Alpha, always a leader. But hearing she had to endure suffering, and torture in every lifetime made me feel broken. I felt hurt and embarrassed about not finding her sooner. I could have saved her from this, from everything. With all my power and status, it took me ages before I found her. I know she has seen some of her past lives, bu
Jamie POV Everything started to blur together, pieces and flashes moving through my mind. โLetโs go girls.โ The headmistressโ voice repeated itself. โStraight-line pleaseโฆโ Ares and Carson... My matesโฆ right? โRhys? Are you here?โ I could hear my own voice, but my lips werenโt moving. As if I was spiraling without a light to balance me. Who is Rhys? โHurry up now...Hurry upโฆ. Wake up, Jamie!!โ I jumped awake, panting. Sweat slowly dripping down my face. I looked around, trying to see where I was. Suddenly, someone cupped my face, steadying me. โWhat is it?โ Liza said softly while brushing my cheek with her thumb. When I met her eyes, I could only see concern filling hers. โI..Iโฆโ I stammered, unable to find the words. โAre you that shocked you have found your mate,โ Liza said with a small laugh. โMy mate?โ I asked her. My mate, who is my mate? Why can't I remember their names? Wait no, his name. โHow could you forget, Alpha Smith, silly,โ she said with a squeal. Alpha
Jamie POVEvery passing day we grew closer together. The confusion I once had was no longer there. I wanted to feel every part of his body. Feel him inside me, but he wanted to wait. I wanted to wear his mark, I wanted him to be mine. But I had to wait.He wants to pay his respects to the moon goddess by mating and marking each other at a full moon and not before. He explained the bond would be stronger if we waited for the full moon. I never expected it to be this hard, having him this close but not completely. He was driving me insane. I can't say we haven't cheated a little bit. I touched every part of his body, as he did mine. I never thought I would be this insatiable.I was tossing and turning in bed, Smith still beside me sleeping soundly. I moved closer, gently running my fingers over his bare chest. Somehow the tingles were only there when he was awake. I still don't understand how the mate bond works. But I know he's the one, he h
Carson POV All I wanted to do was rip his head off. But I learned quickly that he and I were the only ones with our wolves here. He created this world, I don't believe I can easily kill him. He somehow got inside her head, making her forget about her mates, thinking he was her mate. I can't take on a god, maybe Ares was right. Maybe he had to be here. But I have to try. I kept a close eye on the two. Smith never left her side. Before they went inside their bedroom my eyes locked with Jamie's. "Please recognize me, put the pieces together. You're not his," I tried to mind link her. But I couldnโt reach her. When they went inside their bedroom my stomach turned. My heart clenched at the thought of what they would be doing in there together. I did notice he hadn't marked her. His scent wasn't on her. "They haven't mated," I mumbled. Relief washed through me. There must be a reason why he's waiting. Maybe I can ask Ares for help. Or at least the Ares that is in this world. But e
Smith dragged me to our room. Holding my hair tightly in his hand. Hurting me with every step he took. I screamed and fought. Trying to escape out of his grip. The lifeless body of Carson was moved out of sight. My heart clenched at the thought of him. He stormed inside our room before he threw me on the bed. The tears that escaped my eyes never stopped. โYou arenโt my mate,โ I said. The anger that rushed through my veins was somehting I havent felt before. Smith's eyes pierced into mine. The ones I thought I loved changed into something I hate. โYou are,โ he said through gritted teeth. โA mate of mine would never hurt me.โ Before I could take my next breath, my cheek burned from the slap he gave me. The taste of copper moved over my tongue. โYouโre mine,โ he said while his hand moved to my throat, squeezing it shut. I struggled in his grasp. I tried to scratch him, kick him
Jamie POV Years had passed in the blink of an eye, and I was happier than ever. All the struggles we went through, were worth it in the end. I was immensely grateful, that Ares choose this life with us, instead of power. That he choose this mortal life, instead of moving back to the god's lands. โNot so fast, you two,โ I yelled after Kaitlin and Nathanial, who seemed to be ignoring me while they increased their pace. I softly caressed my bump, enjoying the sight of my rascals. How could you love someone so much that it almost hurts, was more than I could ever wish for. โHappy birthday, love,โ Ares whispered, wrapping his arms around me and resting his head on my shoulder, inhaling deeply. โHave I told you how much I love you?โ He asked while his lips brushed over his mark, making a pleasurable shiver move through my body, awakening my core. โHmm, maybe you should remind me,โ I murmured. โKnock it off, you two,โ Ripleyโs voice snapped us out of our moment, and I couldnโt h
With hollowed cheeks, I let Carson gently trust inside my mouth. His pace was slow and deep, making my sexual frustration rise. I glanced up, and I almost came when I saw Caronโs parted lips and flushed cheeks. Fuck, he looks so delicious. I tried to pick up my pace, but the hold he had on me, made it impossible. There was no way I could hold back the orgasm that was crawling at the surface. I whimpered and moaned around Carsonโs cock when Ares picked up his pace, attaching my sensitive clit until my body shattered, and my juices spilled out. I was a mess, riding the aftershocks of my orgasm, when Carsonโs pulled himself out of me and gently brushed his thumb over my lips. โPerfect,โ he said. I took a couple of deep breaths, trying to calm my body, but the moment of peace was quickly stopped when Ares claimed my lips, making sure I would taste myself on his tongue. Our position changed, without parting our lips. He lifted me in his arms, and I instantly wrapped my legs around his
Ares POV The moment Carson stepped inside, his eyes slowly wandered over my naked body. โIs this your plan? How is this goingโฆโ he stopped midsentence when he realized what the plan was. โHow didnโt I come up with that sooner,โ he mumbled more to himself than me. โDo you need help getting undressed?โ I asked, pulling him back to the present. A small blush formed on his cheeks while he tauntingly slow started to remove his clothes. โWe have to make sure she feels it right?โ he asked with a hint of mischief in his eyes. Of course, this wasnโt going to be quick. I knew they were at it for hours to make sure I felt it when I wanted to kill Aegon. I groaned when he stood before me, naked. Who would have thought I would fall in love with another man? I closed the distance between us and brushed my fingers over his throat, while this need to choke him while fucking him senseless came into mind. My cock twitched because of the thought. I licked my lips before I pressed them on his
Ares POV โHow much longer?โ I roared for the millionth time. It has been two agonizing weeks. Jamie still hadnโt woken up, and the longer she stayed like this, the more I worried she would never wake up. โAlpha, I donโt know. The poison has left her system, and her wolf is fine. I donโt know why she wonโt wake up,โ her voice trembled with every word she spoke. โIsnโt there anything I can do?โ I was desperate. This feeling was almost worse than the feeling I had when her soul was trapped in that world Hephaestus created. โYou can try to reach her through the bond by pushing heightened emotions through it. Terrible fear, rage. As long as the emotion is strong enough, it could wake her up,โ Matina said with care. I slowly nodded, and she left without another word. We hadnโt closed off our bond to Jamie, so she must feel our despair and fear. And seeing she wasnโt waking up, it wasnโt enough. โI know,โ Gideon said, sounding smug. โCare to share?โ There was a moment of silence whi
Carson POV I could feel myself becoming stronger with every passing second, but the pain remained. I knew it wasnโt my own that I felt. It was Jamieโs. My heart ached for her. All I wanted was to hold her in my arms. However, she only had eyes for our pups, and I canโt blame her. They looked so peaceful in her arms. As if nothing had happened. I softly brushed my finger over Nathaniel's cheek, letting the warmth of his skin seep into mine. โDo you want to hold him,โ Jamie whispered. She didnโt have to say that twice. I picked up Nathaniel and let him rest against my chest. I hated that I was covered in blood, my own and Aegonโs. โAre you tired?โ I asked Jamie when I noticed her eyes slowly closing. She only hummed in response before she fell asleep. I could feel her becoming weaker. The feeling alone made a tear stream down my face. Ares gently grabbed Kaitlin before he let Jamie rest against him. โWeโre going to make it,โ he whispered, but the fear in his eyes. The worry behi
Ares POV My breath hitched in the back of my throat when I saw what Jamie was about to do. I didnโt want her to drown in the darkness. She shouldnโt be the one that takes their lives. Aegon wasnโt strong enough to help Charlotte fight the command. He didnโt even respond to Jamieโs truthful words. He knew they made a mistake going down this path. A mistake that would cost both of their lives. โJamie, let me do it,โ I whispered when I stood beside her with our pups in my arms. โNo, I made a promise, and Iโm keeping myself to that,โ she hissed while her eyes remained locked on Charlotte and Aegon. I didnโt know what she commanded next, but the change in the air told me enough. My eyes snapped to Charlotte, and before either of us knew what was about to happen, her claws formed on her free hand, and she pushed her claws through Aegonโs chest. Aegon cried out in agony while a stray tear moved down Charlotteโs cheek. Aegon had to release his grip on the hand she still had on her throa
Jamie POV Rage. All-consuming rage. My blood was boiling while my skin tightened. How dare she? It all happened in the blink of an eye; I was thrown against Carson while I felt something puncture my side. I coughed rapidly to get the air I desperately needed. The scent of my own blood surrounded me, and I knew I was injured. But I had to push forward. I pushed myself off Carson and let the same pull as before lead me to my pups. There was no escaping me at this point, and I would have back what was mine. I sprinted out of the room and headed into the forest. Before I even realized Ripleyโs wolf running beside me. Ares and Carsonโs concerned voices filled my mind, but still, I wouldnโt slow down my strides. โI need you to take out the witch. Otherwise, I canโt command Charlotte,โ I told Ripley. Ripley lunged for Tara when Charlotte was about to step inside a car. Ares and Carson stood next to me before another breath could leave my lips. Tara screamed at the top of her lungs w
Ares POV The turmoil in my mind slowly settled when all I could feel was rage and this primal need to protect what is mine. We were hiding in the shadows outside of Charlotte's packhouse, waiting for her warriors to leave. Still, we would be outnumbered, but our odds were better with fifty of her warriors gone. โThey are here,โ Jamie mumbled. Only when my gaze met hers did I notice the glimmer that moved over her eyes. It wasn't the same as I saw her wolf press forward, but something else. I took her hand in mine and gave it a reassuring squeeze. One that we both needed. The soft rustling around us made me freeze on the spot until Carsonโs scent wafted around me. โWe can use the tunnel. Itโs unguarded. It doesnโt seem she knows we were coming here,โ Carson whispered. No one spoke another word when we turned around and let Carson lead us to the underground tunnel. The same we used when we ran away from Hephaestus We still had to choose which of Charlotteโs pack houses we shoul
Ares POVIt took us longer than I wanted, but the moment we stepped over the border, Jamieโs voice echoed inside my mind.โDid you find them?โI wanted to tell her that we did, but we only had a lead. โWe are going to Litochoro.โCarson was in charge of gathering the warriors while I made my way to the packhouse. I was in desperate need of holding my mate in my arms and when I heard her voice inside my mind seconds ago, I knew she needed me too.I quickly shifted back and rushed inside. When my gaze met hers, a small smile formed on her lips. After I put some clothes on, I made my way to her and wrapped my arms around her small frame.โAre you okay?โ I whispered while I held her close.โThe poison isโฆ I had some trouble with my sight, but now that youโre here, Iโm fine,โ she said with a small smile that did nothing for the pain that roamed through her eyes.I didnโt know what to say, but Iโm glad that my presence helps her wolf fight the poison.โWe are leaving in fifteen minutes. Iโm
