Carson POV It hurt me to say those words, but I had to listen to my Alpha. He knew instantly she was talking to me. I want to be there for her, always. Be by her side. I hope I can someday, but I doubt he will let me. The pull she has towards me will fade. The love she feels for me will fade. With her being the reincarnation of the goddess Aphrodite or is she Aphrodite? Aach, my head. It is so confusing. Ares wants me to reject her, but I can't. The pain it will bring her, the pain it will bring me. I won’t reject her. I know she doesn’t recognize me as her mate, so maybe it won’t hurt her. But I can't let her go. I know if I do anything, Ares will kill me. He made that perfectly clear. He doesn’t care what it would do to Jamie. He only wants her to be his. When she completes the mate bond, there will be no room left for me. Her friend, Liza, hadn’t been quiet for a sec. My head hurts because of her constant blaring. I don’t know if she noticed, or if Jamie told her anything. But sh

Jamie POV Ares took me back to his house, without answering my question. I had a feeling he was up to something. I couldn’t put my finger on it. Ares wanted me in his bed, but I wanted to be alone. Actually, I wanted to be in his arms, but I couldn't. He has to accept I have two mates. They are both parts of my soul, I need them both to feel complete. To feel truly happy. He has to come around. I was lying in my bed, my mind was going over everything that happened. The pull towards Ares grows stronger every second. As if my mark is burning, my entire body is burning in desire for my mate. I could feel my arousal rising, I needed some sort of release before I could sleep. I tossed and turned, kicking the blanket off me. A small knock was on the door before Carson walked inside. “I can smell you outside,” he said with a purr. My eyes wandered over his bare chest, slowly moving down. His boxers were tight around his hardened length. I bit my lip unwillingly. I got up on my knees a

I lifted her up and took her to my bedroom. She couldn’t resist me anymore. Finally, she’s mine. I tossed her on my bed, making her whine in response. She clawed her way back to me. Eagerly she kissed me again, her fingers roamed over my body. She started undressing me. She wasn’t holding back anymore, and neither would I. Her fingers made a path through my chest, moving down. The tingles emerged everywhere she touched. Making me moan out of pleasure. My member was already throbbing in anticipation. We needed to have her now, claiming her. Claiming what is ours. I gently pushed her on her back, kissing her roughly. I pressed myself between her legs, pushing them further open with my body. She pressed herself against my hardened length while a moan left her lips. Vibrating around my tongue. A small piece of guilt lingered in my mind. Am I making the right call by taking her in this state? I want her to want me for me, not because of the concoction. I knew the concoction wouldn’t las

We sat down in my office; annoyance was written all over my face. I hate when Alpha’s come by unannounced. I wanted to go back to my mate. The whole conversation I had the feeling he was stalling. “Why do you think he is really here?” I asked Carson through the mind link. “No idea, there are no wars brewing. As far as I know. He’s stalling,” Carson replied. I was glad he noticed it as well. I thought maybe it was my mind playing tricks on me. Alpha Smith kept talking about small pack matters, those that are not any of my concerns. I lifted my hand up, signaling to stop talking. “Why are you here?” I said with a small growl vibrating through my chest. My patience has its limits Alpha Smith cleared his throat, trying to hide something. His discomfort or was it something else. He looked to Carson and then back to. Me before continuing, “it has come to my attention that you have someone here…” his eyes roamed the room once more before his nose tried to pick up a scent. The growl

Ares POVI have sent some scouts to Alpha Smith's pack, to keep an eye on things. He never seemed to be the kind of man who drops everything to meet his mate here. Why didn't he take her to his pack when he met her? I was working in my office, with Carson beside me. He kept moving restlessly in his chair. He was slowly getting on my nerves. "Can you please stop moving," I said with a growl. He froze on the spot before he sighed, "when can I mark my mate?" We both stared at each other for a moment. Before I could answer there was a soft knock on the door, saving me from this conversation. "Come in." Jamie entered with a beaming smile on her face, one that made my love for her grow. I didn't notice at first. But when I saw the bruise on her jaw, a vicious growl left my lips. I was beside her in a second, holding her face to the side. "Who did this?" I tried my best to hide my anger. But my body started trembling from the rage moving through me. "Ow it's nothing, I wanted to t
