Slowly peeling both of her eyes open, Luna sat upright on her bed and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hands while thinking about the time she spent together with Ares last night. She was too tired after they dined at one of the finest restaurants in the City. After dinner, Ares took her to the Land of Wonders, the tallest building in the Capitol, and he brought her to the rooftop where the entire City is widely seen.They waited until midnight for the fireworks. She forgot that yesterday was Sunday, and the same day, the City has its tradition of ending the weekend with a fireworks display and their sign to welcome the week with noise, for they believe that the more noise you make, the more money will be earned come to you.She heard a bark from Lunar, who jumped on her bed and wagging his tail, running towards her. Her eyes lit up when she saw the pup beaming with excitement. She missed this baby so much!"Hi, baby! Did you enjoy your vacation with Uncle D

Fury welled up in Luna's eyes as she saw the angry man who spoke and slowly approached in her direction. He was holding a gun that he immediately cocked when he saw her looking at it. "In case you are wondering who am I, let me introduce my humble self to you. I am Rico Balthazar, and people called me Don of Lucia. Have you heard it?" Hearing the name of his captivator, Luna's brows creased and a smirk formed from the corner of her lips. She doesn't know what is going on inside her. She was supposedly afraid by now, judging that the Balthazar is holding a gun in his hands full of gold rings. "Oh, I haven't heard about you. I am nothing but a newcomer to the City of San Jose. But I met your coward, asshole, and dickhead son." Luna said, gritting her teeth as she looked directly into his eyes, full of disgust. A loud slap echoed across the room. Luna pressed her lips together, pull

Luna sighed when she felt Ares's warm lips as she gently played with her tongue. He seemed to be floating in the clouds due to the sensation that enveloped his body. She felt the gentle motion of one of his hands on her nape, pushing her head better to cover her lips. He was almost in a daze. She wanted some more. But suddenly, Ares stopped and pressed their foreheads together as both chased the breath. "I don't know why this is happening to me," Ares said while closing his eyes and still chasing his breath. "Ares." Luna's only whisper. Ares let out a loud sigh, then straightened up his body, facing the dark ocean. But after a while, it moved and handed him the jacket that she had just noticed he was holding. "Wear it. You might get sick. It's too cold out here." Luna weakly accepted the jacket from here and then sighed when she suddenly felt he was serious a

Ares was drenched in blood while his palm was obstructing blood flow on the left side of his stomach. He couldn't count how many stab wounds he'd received after the fight inside the old warehouse.  He and Liam were standing on the cliff's edge, looking out over the vast and boisterous ocean. They both received severe wounds in unseen areas of their bodies. That's the sole thing he does in every battle to avoid getting stuck and injured in the face or anyplace else that may be seen.  "Those scumbags! We probably wouldn't have found Luna if it hadn't been for the tracker you placed on her bracelet."  Liam was annoyed as he adjusted the tie of the torn cloth of his long sleeve to cover the blood flowing on his left thigh. Their clothes have almost been ripped apart and soaked in the intense odor of blood from the people they slaughtered. "Wherever they bide Luna, t
