32.1 *Bonus Free Chapter*

(Before Elyn came to Turquoise Falls) 

(Elyn) 

"You can use me all you want," Ares's voice was a breathy whisper as he looked at me, his eyes soft and wonderful and the twitch in my heart grew and it tilted further down. 

"Can I?" I breathed out as I stared into his magnificent eyes, my heart banging loudly against my chest. Something had changed, and I didn't know whether I wanted it to change or not, but it didn't matter. What I did or didn't want. It had happened, and I knew I couldn't get away from this, or turn the time back and go back to how it was once between us.

I had told myself... NO FUCKING FEELINGS. But did I heed to my own warnings?

What did the tell about once bitten, fucking shy of it?! I had never followed any rules, had I? I knew there was something big coming, something I was not ready for, but for now, I didn't want to think about that, or Reyna, or Liam. Nothing. I only wanted to think about Ares and everything he hid beneath his shirt.

And when Ares looked at me like that, like I was the most precious art in the Sorhoi Gallery, I couldn't help but the small sprout of feelings spurting up from somewhere deep inside me. Pop. Pop.

Fucking die, you assholes. I didn't want feelings. I only wanted sex. I only wanted to use his body. But when he said things like that... and when his eyes looked at me like that...

I was in a fucking train to heartbreak city, and I wanted to shoot myself in my chest with a whole quiver of arrows and be done with this for now. Or my brain. Yeah, it definitely needed a kick or two, as well. Whenever Ares Freaking Kincaid was in the vicinity, every brain cell died an instant death.

"Yes," his voice was a soft caress as he took a step towards me, his eyes darkening in his lust and I didn't want anything more than taking him up on his offer.

He pulled me closer to him, his hands roughly searching my body. There was no softness in his hand. It was wild and wanton, the way our bodies moved.

I gripped his shoulder, angling my head to the side, as his claws softly dragged down my spine, sending shots of electricity through me. My body trembled. His movements we jerky, fast as if he had enough of waiting. Nothing was slow or patient about the way his hands found my body.

Through his pants and my pants, I could still feel him turning hard. His fingers dug in to my lush flesh as he gripped my ass, positioning me between his legs so that his erection was now nestled between my legs. I grounded against him, my body wild with abandon. My heart fluttered and then furiously beat when he curled his fingers and bunched my hair, pulling my head back. His eyes were full of fire storm, and I would gladly burn.

"Ares... I-" His tongue plunged inside me, shutting me off. His lips were merciless, punishing, but I enjoyed every bite, every thrust. He sucked my lower lips between his teeth, roughly pulling it, and I knew... finally, finally I had broken his self-restraint.

I almost wanted to tell him that anyone might walk in on our little heated display, but I didn't. I didn't want him to stop. I didn't want him to go on and on. He looked like he was possessed. His eyes flashed back and forth as his hands explored my curves.

He pulled back and I protested, but my words of protest died down when I felt his hot breath hitting the side of my neck, right where my pulse skipped and jumped.

"You- you will be my ruin. I knew... I knew it the moment I met you. That, somehow, you are going to be my undoing. I knew it when I looked into your evil eyes and lost my breath..." he moaned as his fingers in my hair tightened possessively and I enjoyed it. I

found a way to sneak my hand so that I could finally feel his erection. I cupped his bulge, and he hissed.

"You are my damnation, Elyn Frost. I can't run fast enough."

"Don't run, then."

"I don't plan to run anymore. I will take whatever you are giving."

"I want to give you everything."

He stilled for a second and there was a strange look on his eyes before he shook his head and buried his face in the crook of my neck as his hand found my breast. He pressed a kiss against my neck, and sucked the soft, sensitive skin and my body trembled when I felt his canines poking at my skin. He scraped his teeth along my neck, up and down, until I felt like I was made of combustible materials. Everywhere he touched, he left fire burning.

I felt like we were two universes, on the verge of self destruction.

But did I care? No. Not when he hand were making me feel things I had never felt, not when his lips were killing me sweetly, madly.

I only felt the insane burst of feeling. There was no logic or explanation for this. Only madness, and I thrived in that madness.

"Uncle Ares..."

"Oh fuck," he muttered softly as he breath left his lips in a soft hiss. "Not now."

I loved Azlea. I loved the little girl like nothing in the world, but damn... did she have to come right now?

"Are you and Elyn mates?" She looked so eager, as if it was the best thing she had ever heard in her life.

Ares jumped away from me as if he was shocked. He looked down at Azlea and a ragged breath left his lips and I felt my fingers tremble. He didn't answer. The little girl looked curiously before she looked at me, her blue eyes shining in happiness.

"Are you going to stay forever, Elyn?" Azlea whispered as she petted her pet Djorn, Rubik, who was curled on her shoulder. He was there most of the time. I had never seen her without Rubik. It was as if they were twins or something, always attached to the shoulder. The little slithering creature looked at me with big, marbled eyes and fluttered his wings, and cooed. His way of greeting, and he only greeted when he liked someone. Everyone else was enemy to him.

I bit my lips as I looked down at her. I wanted to say yes. But I knew it was only a matter of time. This was not permanent. This was only a pitstop, and I was a moron.

"No, baby girl."

"Bu-but-"

"But I will always be there for you."

She looked like she was debating inside her little brain, before she finally nodded.

"Okay, but-"

I turned to Ares, and he looked at me with a smile. He didn't look like he regretted anything he said or did. But did I regret it?

"I- Ares..."

"What?"

"I need to find my sister."

He nodded, his eyes flashing in understanding and then I see some other unexplainable emotion in his eyes. One that looked like- jealousy. Was he jealous? Why? Why would he be jealous of Reyna?

"And Ares... promise me you wouldn't do anything stupid like Kidnapping her?"

"Yeah, after this lesson... I wouldn't dare." He pointedly looked at me, and I shook my head, frowning at him.

"Oh, don't lie. You love this lesson," I whispered before I turned away from him.

He shook his head with a soft growl. "No, I don't. It is a very complicated lesson, and it is-" he stopped and took a deep breath. "Do you want me to take you there."

"Only until the edge of the Turquoise Falls. I will go from there, and you should come back."

"Go on, then, Cookie. We will be back soon."

"Can we make chocolate cookies, Uncle? Elyn? After you come back?" she said, fluttering her little eyes and I chuckled.

"You called me a master manipulator. Your niece is the best out of the both of us."

"Of course, we can make cookies. Now go."

We waited until she walked in and Ares shifted. I ran my fingers through Storm's lush fur, and he moaned and howled.

"Yeah, little pervert. Not happening," I whispered, and he looked at me, his eyes wide and bewildered. "Didn't you hear... I could speak wolf, so... no, you can't lick my breast."

He howled once again.

"Yes. Ares can. You can't. I don't care how unfair you think it is, now get going."
