UNTAMED FATE CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
ARES’ POVI stood by the balcony rails of my penthouse, high above the Crescent Moon Pack territory that sat hidden in the hills above Los Angeles. From here, I could see the stretch of land we ruled—kids racing around the training fields, warriors sparring in the distance, patrol wolves jogging their usual rounds. At first glance, everything looked peaceful. Serene.But it was a lie. It took a lot to make it look like that.The unease in my chest told me otherwise.I brought the cigarette to my lips, inhaled deeply, and let the smoke drift into the cool air. I never liked smoking, hell, I hated the habit. But recently, it's been the only thing that made the weight on my chest feel a little lighter. As if the smoke could carry away the thoughts clawing at my head.They want to draw out the Moon Guardian… Gerry's words rang loud in my head.My mate.I took another drag, bitterness curling in my mouth.They were playing a dangerous game—and not just with anyone. With me. An Alpha cursed

NOAH’S POVI landed softly on the damp grass and looked up at my window with a smug grin. Classic. I had just outwitted my brothers again, an art I’d been mastering since childhood. Climbing out of windows, ducking security cams, and sneaking into the night like a ninja had been my thing long before I could spell “trouble.”I dusted my hands and pulled my black hoodie tighter, melting into the shadows of the L.A. night. The city buzzed faintly in the distance, but this part of it was still quiet, the moon casting silver over empty sidewalks. My stomach growled for the third time. “Right, hunger strike,” I muttered sarcastically. Since my brothers refused to let me go on the school trip, I figured I’d protest the only way I knew how to,by starving.But who was I kidding? Hunger and I were not friends.So here I was, dressed in full stealth mode—black hoodie, low cap, and my trusty short wig, on a mission to grab a large pepperoni from Lenny’s Pizza, my favorite little corner shop off M

ARES’ POVThe city lights flickered past us as I drove through the shadowed streets of Los Angeles. The scent of concrete and late-night tacos hung in the air, mixed with a distant saltiness from the ocean breeze. The occasional palm tree whizzed by, casting fleeting shadows across the dashboard.From the corner of my eye, I kept stealing glances at Noah.His head was leaned out the window, his short hay fluttering with the night wind like he was some carefree teenager out on a midnight joyride. As if that wasn't enough, he stuck his hand out too, letting it slice through the air. The city was sleeping, but Noah was alive—too alive.“You really want to go on that school trip?” I asked, my voice calm but firm, slicing through the heavy silence between us.There was a pause. Then his voice came, softer than usual. “Yeah,” he said, almost like an exhale. “It’s not just a school trip to me. It’s like… a breather from all this. From my brothers. From my messed-up life.”He turned toward me

I leaned against the edge of the bar, staring at Noah like he owed me answers… or maybe I just liked watching the way his lips moved when he tried to explain himself.He looked at me, eyes glassy, cheeks pink, like he was caught red-handed.Then...Tada!...he pulled out a half-empty bottle of wine from behind his back like it was a magic trick.“Here,” he said with a goofy smile, voice thick with a drunken slur. “This is what I’m hiding.”He laughed, more like giggled, and for a second, I froze. What the hell was that? That wasn’t just tipsy behavior. That was... dangerously adorable.I walked over, snatched the bottle from his hand, and moved it out of reach. He groaned, reaching for it like a toddler wanting candy."Mine," he whined.“Nope.” I sidestepped.He lost balance and tumbled backward onto the couch with a thud. “Oops...couch is spinning,” he murmured, blinking at the ceiling.I sighed and sat on the glass coffee table across from him, setting the bottle down like it was cont

NOAH’S POVThe first thing I felt wasn’t the warmth of the sun slipping through the blinds, it was pain. A throbbing, full-blown war in my skull."Ugh," I groaned, clutching my head. It felt like someone had dropped a goddamn stereo speaker on it during the night. I couldn’t move right away. I just lay there, breathing in the sharp scent of clean linen and something else—cool and earthy, like the aftermath of snow.Wait… where the hell am I?The events of last night were fogged out like an overexposed film reel. All I remembered was Professor Rex handing me a glass of wine, with that smug, dangerous glint in his eye.Okay. I think I understand why the throbbing headache. I must have gotten drunk.Oh God.Did I tell him anything? That can't beI pushed myself off the bed, nearly tripping over my own legs as I dragged myself to the bathroom. Turning the faucet on, I splashed my face with cold water and stared into the mirror. My hair was a full-blown disaster—stuck-up strands and pillow

ARES' POVI stood by the window in my study, watching Noah rush out of the penthouse like his pants were on fire. I had come here to grab my car keys and offer him a ride, but it seemed like someone was in a rush. I let out a low chuckle, shaking my head, before turning to make a call."Get my private jet ready," I said coldly into the phone, my voice firm. I didn’t wait for a response before hanging up. There was only one place I had in mind now.~~~CRESCENT MOON ORPHANAGEAs I walked into the orphanage, bags of treats in my hands, I could’ve had the security carry them out of the car for me, but I wanted to be here. In this space, I wasn't just the Alpha—I am a father to the kids who had no one else."Daddy!" The pups shrieked the moment they spotted me, and I couldn't help the smile that stretched across my face. Their joy was contagious. I dropped the bags and let them swarm me, trying to climb all over me. I spotted a tiny little pup trying her best to get into my arms, so I cro

NOAH'S POV“Gavin, hurry up!” I yelled, gripping the handle above the car door like my life depended on it. My heart was racing faster than the car. Penny had just sent a picture of her and Nathan at Siege’s private airport. I hadn’t told them yet that my brothers had finally changed their minds and were letting me go for the school trip I wanted to surprise them—dramatically, of course.“I’m not gonna be the reason Lucas locks you up in that house like Rapunzel again,” Gavin snickered, his hand lazily draped over the steering wheel. “Just call your friends and tell them to stall the flight.”“Ugh, you’re not helping. Just drive faster!” I snapped, ignoring the smug grin tugging at the corner of his lips.The moment we swerved into the private terminal driveway, Gavin hit the brakes. “Here we are, your royal highness,” he announced, like he hadn’t just nearly murdered us with his terrible driving.I flung the car door open before he could even park properly. “Gavin! My bags!” I shoute

NOAH'S POVWith a loud sigh, I dropped face-first onto the bed, exhausted. The soft sheets barely cushioned the weight of the day, but I was too tired to care. Settling into this room hadn’t been easy—Penny had made it her personal mission to make us roommates. She had pouted, whined, and even dragged me by the wrist to the invigilator's office like some rom-com heroine on a mission. But the middle-aged man barely blinked before crushing her dreams.“Rules are made for reasons and can’t be bent to meet your convenience,” he’d said like it was his life motto. Penny looked like she was on the verge of either crying or committing murder. I had to drag her away before she did both.Eventually, she gave in, reluctantly, and stomped off, muttering about the injustice of the world.Now, alone in the room, I barely had the strength to move. But then I heard the soft creak of the bathroom door opening. I turned my head lazily, and my breath hitched a little.Sebastian stepped out, steam traili

UNTAMED FATE CHAPTER SIXTY-SIX
ARES’ POVA cocky smirk tugged at my lips as I watched little Leister run like hell, his steps frantic, flailing arms barely keeping up with his body. Poor kid must've thought I was naked. That alone seemed to have scrambled his brain and instincts. Hilarious.I stepped fully out of the water, droplets sliding down my skin, glistening under the filtered light that peeked through the trees. My tight black shorts clung to me like a second skin, and I raked a hand through my wet hair, shaking off the excess water.Cute brat. Always skittish, always flushed, like a tiny mouse caught staring at a lion.I reached for the towel I had left hanging on a low branch and began drying myself off, deliberately slow, enjoying the silence of my sanctuary. This wasn’t just any ordinary place...it was mine. A hidden slice of the world untouched by chaos or duty. I discovered it long before my father died… before the weight of the crown descended on my shoulders. Back then, I hadn't cared much for fairy
UNTAMED FATE CHAPTER SIXTY-FIVE
NOAH’S POVAt long last, the hellish French class ended. I swear, if torture had a language, it’d be French conjugation. Penny, Nathan, and I finally stumbled out of the room like war survivors. Nathan and I looked like we’d been run over by a farm truck, while Penny had this annoyingly bright sparkle in her eyes, as if she’d just stepped out of a Parisian fairytale.Nathan turned to me, brow furrowed, finger raised like an overdramatic mom. “Don’t. Do. This. Again,” he warned with mock seriousness.I snapped to attention, saluting him. “Roger that, captain.”Penny let out one of her signature fairy giggles. “Honestly, you guys are just dramatic. I actually enjoyed it!”Nathan and I exchanged a mutual eye-roll so powerful it could’ve triggered a minor earthquake.“Okay, buddies! Time to hit the cafeteria!” Penny squealed, grabbing both our arms like we were heading to Disneyland.But then her tone dropped into a venomous growl. “But that hulk of yours is not coming with us. I swear he
UNTAMED FATE CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE
NOAH’S POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror and almost flinched.Dark circles ringed my eyes like I hadn’t slept in weeks. My cheeks were hollowed out, lips pale, and my usually shiny hair looked like a mop abandoned in a storm. I looked like a haunted raccoon. A very sad, smelly, rebellious raccoon.“This is what grounding does to a person,” I muttered to my reflection, dragging my fingers through my tangled hair. “Congratulations, Gavin. You’ve officially won the Worst Big Brother of the Year Award.”For the past two days, I had been locked in my room like a prisoner of war. Gavin was dead serious about the whole “you’re not leaving till you agree to my terms” threat. The jerk even camped at my door, literally. Lucas was the one delivering meals, knocking gently and slipping the tray in like I was some kind of feral animal. Not that it mattered; I hadn’t touched a bite. Hunger strike in full swing.I groaned and slumped on the edge of my bed, my phone in my hand. My thumb hov
UNTAMED FATE CHAPTER SIXTY-THREE
NOAH’S POVThe hallway was eerily silent, as though the entire building had fallen into a post-party coma. My heels clicked lazily against the tiled floor, echoing in the stillness. I was still in my girl outfit from the Halloween party. Penny had insisted we keep dancing long after the crowd vanished, and like a fool, I agreed. We danced until our legs gave out beneath us, drunk on sugar, music, and fleeting joy.Now, I was paying the price, every step felt like I was dragging a corpse, probably my own.As I turned the corner toward my room, a hand suddenly grabbed my wrist and yanked me into the shadows. I let out a startled gasp, my body slamming into a cold wall. The air left my lungs in a rush, and my eyes struggled to adjust to the dark. But I saw her.Elsa.Of course."What the fuck?!" I snapped, yanking my wrist from her grip. My eyes blazed with fury as I glared at her, trying to conceal the pounding in my chest. Not from fear. From annoyance.Elsa folded her arms across her
UNTAMED FATE CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO
GAVIN’S POVThe second I stepped into the living room, drenched in sweat and breathing heavily from a brutal workout session, I knew something was off. The air felt thick...tense...and not from the stench rolling off my shirt. No, this was something else.Lucas was pacing.And when he paces, something is seriously wrong.Only one person could make my ever-composed, stone-faced brother look like he was about to tear the place apart.Noah.Damn.I dropped my gym bag beside the couch and wiped the sweat from my face with the towel hanging around my neck. “Hey, Lucas. What’s up?” I asked, pretending like I didn’t already know the storm that was brewing behind his narrowed eyes.He turned to me so fast, his boots squeaked against the floor. His eyes...those infamous forest-green eyes...flashed with unfiltered rage. “Where the hell have you been?” he thundered. “I’ve been trying to reach you for hours!”I didn’t flinch. I’ve had years of practice dealing with Lucas’ temper. His anger wasn’t
UNTAMED FATE CHAPTER SIXTY-ONE
ARES' POVThe scariest part wasn’t that Little Leister was doing something to me.It was that whatever it was, I wasn’t ready to rebel against it.Hell, a dark, forbidden part of me was curious...curious to see just how far he would go, and how far I would let him.The soft, slow hum of the romantic song washed over the hall like a spell. Everyone else seemed to fade into shadows as Little Leister and I moved together, syncing to the slow, sensual rhythm. His slender waist brushed against my palm, sending unwanted shivers up my spine. His body fit against mine too perfectly.I could feel his heartbeat, fast and fluttering, through the thin material of his ridiculous gown.He lifted his gaze...those stormy-grey eyes locking with mine, searching, questioning, trembling with an emotion he couldn’t name."I never knew you were attending," he said softly, his voice delicate, almost trembling. The sound brushed against my senses like silk, igniting something dangerous inside me.I arched a
UNTAMED FATE CHAPTER SIXTY
ARES' POVI walked into the massive, glittering hall with Elsa clinging onto my arm like a stubborn vine. She was dressed in a sparkling Cinderella ballgown, her golden hair curled perfectly, looking every inch the fairy tale princess she aimed to be.Gatherings like this were never my thing. Too noisy. Too crowded. Too fake.But Elsa had begged me to come, her big blue eyes shimmering with hope. I could’ve easily said no....should have said no...but I was still trying to play the part of the dutiful mate.Tonight, I wore an all-black ensemble: black button-down, black slacks, a simple black mask covering half my face. The first three buttons of my shirt were left undone, exposing my chest, a sight that earned a few lingering glances from the female students and lecturers. I ignored them all.The second we stepped into the suffocating, over-decorated hall, regret hit me like a punch to the gut. Laughter, gossip, bad music, and even a makeshift strip show happening at one end. The air
UNTAMED FATE CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE
NOAH'S POVI stood frozen in front of my bed, staring at the shimmering black gown laid neatly across it. The fabric sparkled under the soft lights of the suite, almost as if it was trying to seduce me into wearing it.I chewed my bottom lip nervously. Could I really pull this off?Or more importantly... Should I?Sebastian must have noticed my hesitation because he sauntered over, his arms folded across his chest.“You know you don’t have to do it if you’re not comfortable,” he said gently. “Nobody’s forcing you.”I inhaled sharply, the tightness in my chest easing slightly at his words. But still, I shook my head.“No, it’s fine. I'll put it on.”If I'm going to do this, I need to commit.Just as I gathered the gown into my arms, a sharp knock rattled the door."I’ll get that," Sebastian said, already moving away.I turned my attention back to the mirror, trying to mentally prepare myself, but my thoughts derailed when the door swung open with an audible bang.Standing there was Pen
UNTAMED FATE CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT
ARES' POVThe murmuring crowd around the pool began to blur into white noise as my gaze fixed on him. Noah. He stood by the edge of the pool, his short dark, glittering under the sunset, those stormy gray eyes sparking like lightning against the clear blue water. My heart pounded in a maddening rhythm I couldn’t control, like a war drum set off by his presence, but before I could move....He did.Sebastian.The bastard approached him like a predator cloaked in silk, too smooth, too casual. His smirk was a language I understood far too well—it said I know this bothers you.I clenched my jaw as I watched him close the space between them. He grip Noah's shoulders startling him. He moved in closer, and my fingers curled tighter against the balcony rail.Then it happened.He almost pushed Noah Almost.He stumbled, dangerously close to the edge of the pool, but didn’t fall. He caught his wrist at the last second, and that smug smile never left his lips. Noah swatted his arm, then pushed hi
