Alora. "He's dead." Lana said, making my eyes widen in surprise. Ares had a brother? Older or younger? He played the piano and now he was dead? When? How? A thought question ran through my head as I dropped my feet to the floor shyly looking at the food whose scent wafted off my nose. Lana let out a soft laugh and I looked at her. "I can hear your stomach growling from here. You can eat if you want." She said, pushing the plate closer to me. A part of me was scared to take it. What if she poisoned it to get back at me for upsetting her twins? Another part of me knew Lana wouldn't do that. Why? Because she gave you a few smiles and a jacket to cover your scars? I almost nodded at the thought as I looked away from the food. That little trust that I had for Lana had crumbled away from the incident earlier and I suddenly wanted to be back in Ares' room to hide under his bed away from everyone. "I won't force you to eat but you should. You look thinner than the first

Alora. I finally went back into the kitchen with Raya and the heat from the sun and the thick coat I wore was cooking me on the inside and I missed the feel of the cold AC against my skin. Which was normal because I barely spent any time outside. My body was used to the cold and warmth of the house as I had spent five years inside Jax's room. "Lana is gonna kill me for slacking off." Raya chuckled as we pulled open the kitchen door and walked in. The cold air hit against my face and I sighed. Thankfully, the kitchen was empty as Camilla and Carmen were probably still working upstairs. Raya immediately went to the sink to do the dishes just as Isabel walked in tired. She took off her glasses immediately, dropping her box on the counter before going to the fridge to take out a bottle of water. I sat away from her, watching as she drank the water quickly before turning to me. "How are you doing?" She asked, dropping the cup in the sink as Raya flashed her a knowing stare that

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

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. 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
