Ares. I held Alora in my hand. Her wet hair touched my arm, making me cold for a moment but the shiver that ran through me wasn't because of the wet hair, it was because of those beautiful violet eyes that stared at me in surprise. Her long lashes were so black that they contrasted with her pale skin. Her cheeks were stained red as embarrassment filled her for a second before fear took over as her eyes widened and she jumped away from me in fright. For a second, my arm felt empty. It was like I missed her in my arms, her small frame pressed against me and those violet eyes looking up to me like a savior who had saved her from crashing to the floor. The fear that wafted off her brought me back to my senses. That same fear that I've always wanted from everyone in my pack, my only friend and Beta Seth and my other right hand man Victor. So why was it different with her? Why did I feel weird if she was scared of me? I glanced at Alora as she wrapped her arms around her small
Ares. Everything happened too quickly and despite my speed I couldn't save Alora from the incredible pain she was about to experience and when she stepped backwards, I heard the sound of the broken pieces crumble under her feet as a soft scream escaped her lips as she staggered, falling backwards and landing on her butt. "Ah!" She screamed, closing her eyes tightly as she reached for her foot that had started to bleed. I frowned, glancing at the pieces of glass that laid everywhere, one more wrong love and she would be lying on broken glasses. So I crouched down in front of her as I watched her gently, her violet eyes filled with tears making them glitter softly under the dim light. Then I turned to her feet, there were pieces of glass stuck under her feet and I reached for one of them but before I could touch it, Alora jerked away. The scent of fear filled my nose and rolled my eyes before giving her a glare. "Stop moving." I ordered, watching her swallow as a tear escaped
Alora. Ares shut the door on his way out, and I was left in the darkness of the room that wasn't mine. The only source of light was the bedside lamp, dimly lit beside me and I turned towards it, folding my palm under my head. My mind wandered to what had happened a few moments ago. It had happened all so fast before I could even think or have a reaction to it. Left alone in the kitchen, the rest of the girls had gone and I ate the cake Lana had baked for me. It was the first time I was ever tasting what a cake was. It had a vanilla flavor to it and I munched it happily until I heard the sound of broken glass. That was right, Ares was in the dining room. Lana had told me to keep away from him as he was going through a phase she didn't explain further. I figured it had something to do with the red glow in his back. It must have been serious because Isabel had been with him for almost half of the day. Keeping to Lana's words, I stayed in the kitchen but curiosity got the best
Ares. I shut the door behind me and finally allowed colors to fill my cheeks. There was a gentle feeling in my heart and I reached for my chest, feeling the steady beating of my heart. There was obviously something wrong with me, these strange emotions have been swirling I'm my heart for a while, especially when I was around Alora. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I growled, snatching it out to see Seth's name across the screen again. "What?" I asked, walking down the hallway while staring at my door once more. "Where are you?" Seth's irritated voice asked and I rolled my eyes. "You don't order me around. I'm your Alpha." I warned, hearing Seth cough awkwardly before I ended the call, taking out my gun at the back of my pocket and putting bullets in it before tucking it behind me. I went down the stairs, and out the house, slamming the door behind me before I picked my Ferrari from my garage, driving out my estate while the guards bowed in submission. It didn't take l
Ares. It was already past two am when I finally got home. I released the first buttons of my shirt, closing the door behind me as I went to the kitchen to get water. The thing with Marco had drained me out as I could feel an ache in my shoulders. I froze when I finger brushed the bottle of vinegar and a small smile filled my face before I took out the bottled water. Without using a cup I gulped down its contents before slamming the fridge shut. I sighed tiredly, throwing the now empty bottle in the bin before I headed out of the kitchen and made my way upstairs to my room. Just at the hallway, I stopped, turning to the west wing that I had tried to avoid for years. It was like I could see my young
Ares. I flexed my fingers as Seth stood in front of me, his hand in a position that he was going to attack. He waited for my approval to spar. "Go!" I said and Seth lounged my face very quickly and I ducked low feeling the rush of air brush over my face as I reached for him but he stepped backwards. "You've gotten faster." I complimented and Seth smirked, feeling cocky. And I stared at him with a clenched fist. He cursed under his breath, unable to dodge the attack as my fist collided with his cheek sending me flying backwards. "Not as fast as me though." I finished before cocking my hips to the side as Seth coughed, picking himself from the floor and flexing his jaw. "We'll see." He said and I smiled, feeling excitement in my veins for the second time this night. It's been a while since I sparred with Seth. Seth tried to hit me but I swiftly ducked again, leaving his legs opened to me. I brought my legs around, knocking his legs out from underneath him as he fell on his but
Alora. I opened my eyes to bright lights and I shut them back sleepily. Feeling the rest of my body wake as I stretched on the soft mattress I was on before I forcefully opened my eyes again. I was lying on top of a king sized bed, and it felt so soft under my body. It was dressed with dark bed sheets and there was a dark duvet over my body as I rubbed my arms, feeling warm. I frowned as I looked around the room and tried to figure where I was. Ares room! I recognized the dark uninviting room that I had grown accustomed to the past two weeks. And I looked underneath my palm. Ares' bed too! What the hell was I doing here? I asked myself as I raised my brow in surprise before my brain decided to wake up and remind me of Ares' cup breaking, and me stupidly stepping on its pieces. I remember falling and Ares picking me before placing me on his bed. I had fallen asleep minutes later. A faint blush filled my cheeks as I remembered the feel of Ares' arms around me. There had
Alora. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I looked around the room, a smile on my face. I found the light switch in the wall and I turned on the lights despite the room being bright enough. The chandelier turned on, reflecting its bright lights on tbe room and seeping through the dust. I coughed and walked deeper into the room. Managing to walk with the side of my feet to avoid pressing it painfully against the floor. The bed was huge and soft, but what took my breath away was the view from the windows. Outside my room was the garden just in the backyard. It's beautiful short trees and chirping birds. I could see them all, even the small fountain at its center that housed the ducks. With the sun shining, it looked like something off the pages of one of those story books Jax had read to me when I was little. And I smiled, touching the dusty windows as I coughed again, feeling my nose getting wet from all the dust. But I didn't mind. This place was mine. "He should have told
