Myla gulped at his words and immediately turned away from him. She used this opportunity to look around and saw that no one else was shaken up by the scene so this was probably something they were used to. She turned back to Ares and saw that he wasn't even looking at her anymore. “Cornelius" She heard him call out and was a little surprised. Hadn't he asked Cornelius to leave them alone? She was even more surprised when Cornelius appeared beside her. “I'll take care of it" Was all Cornelius said before handing Ares another pair of shoes and having some guards clean up the body. Ares nodded at him then took the shoes and wore them before turning back to her. He stared at her for a while then turned Cornelius. “Take her back home, I'll go by myself" And with that, he walked away. Myla sighed but was actually grateful for that. Her head was feeling very light and she just wanted to rest her head. She turned to Cornelius and saw that he

Myla walked behind Ares still in shock about what happened. Who the hell was that man? She was too curious now. Just then, Ares abruptly stopped and she mistakenly bumped into his back. She groaned as she rubbed her forehead. What was he made of? Rocks? Ares turned to her with a tilt of his head. “There’s no way you would have gone that way if someone hadn’t directed you there. Tell me who did it, now” He said calmly but his eyes told her clearly that he was in no mood for games. Myla glanced at all the maids that were staring at her with wide eyes except the girl that directed her there. The girl was staring back at her with deep hatred and Myla couldn’t help but wonder why. She hadn’t done anything to anyone yet and if she were to tell Ares that it was this girl that sent her there, she would just garner more hate and she didn’t want that. She turned to Ares and shook her head. “No one sent me there, I genuinely got lost” Ares narrowed his eyes on h

They all turned to her in shock while Ares just looked amused. “I'm sorry… I didn't mean…." She tried to say but was cut off by Ares words. “Then tell us the right way, Myla" They all turned away from her and glanced at Ares in shock. “Ares, I know she's your slave but she just basically insulted all of us. We have thoroughly thought about this plan for weeks" Leo spoke up. Ares turned to them with a scoff. “Really? Because the plan I heard just now seemed like it was formed by an incompetent child" They all gasped at his words including Myla. “Ares, with all due respect we have been the ones in charge of the raid every year and… " “And I'm always called to come help because your plans are always useless. If your plan was so good like you claimed, I wouldn't be needed all the time" Leo frowned then turned to the others for help but no one looked him in the eye. Ares turned to Myla. “Tell me what you think we should do, Myla" Myla tur

“You don't have to come with me, Cornelius. I'll be fine on my own" Cornelius scoffed. “Do you think I care about your wellbeing? If it were up to me, I would have fed you to the lycans but I know Ares would be mad at me. I have no idea why he cares for you" Myla paused. “He doesn't care for me, he just sees me as a…. Pet" Cornelius rolled his eyes. “Whatever," Myla sighed. How the hell was she going to get rid of Cornelius now? She looked up and glanced at the rooftops and couldn't see Noah and Luane anymore. She was about to panic, thinking they were coming to meet her, when she spotted them in the shadows. “We have got a message from your mother" Noah mouthed. She nodded and gave him an okay sign before turning back to Cornelius. “Erm…. I really need to pee now" Cornelius stopped walking and turned to her. “You need to pee? Can't you hold it in till we get back?" Myla shook her head. “Unless you want me to pee in front of you

Cornelius sighed as he watched Ares flip the page of the book he was reading. “If you have something to say, you can say it and stop sighing like your family was killed” Ares said calmly without turning to him. “You almost lost yourself, Ares. You know why you never let your wolf out but you did because of that human slave? I don’t get you” Ares sighed as he closed the book and placed it on the table in front of him. “She’s my responsibility, Cornelius. You of all people know I would do something like this if you went missing so what is the problem?” Cornelius ran his fingers through his hair out of frustration. “You care for her way differently then you care for me and you know that, it’s very evident. Just because she went missing, you asked the whole troop to go look for her? She’s a slave, Ares, it’s not normal” Ares tilted his head at him. “Well I’m not normal and I tend to do things that are out of the ordinary. I don’t think I have to
