Isabel suddenly turned to Ares and hugged him. “I'm sorry but you know how awfully jealous I become because of you, Ares. I love you so much and I hate the fact that you treat this slave better than you do to me so I wanted her gone and I still want her gone" Ares sighed as he removed Isabel's arms from around him. “Isabel, you of all people should know how much I hate it when others touch what belongs to mine and you tried to have my slave killed?" She shook her head frantically. “No…. At least, not at first. I had asked the man to sell her off to the Lycans but when I found out you were looking for her I got more angry and…." Ares grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up as his eyes instantly turned red. Cornelius and Myla stared at him in shock. “You have been getting on my nerves recently and I'm starting to loose it with you. One more slip off and not only will our marriage be off but our kingdom will go against yours and surely, you don't think you'll win" He thr

Ares stood up from the table with a sigh. “Are you done eating?” He questioned as he turned to Myla. She nodded and hastily stood up. Her eyes drifted towards his plate which made her frown. “You didn’t touch your food, are you okay?” Ares tilted his head at her with a smirk. “Do not worry about me little slave” “Why can’t I worry about you? I asked you to be my friend, remember? And friends care for one another” Ares walked over to her without breaking eye contact. “When did I agree to be your friend? So you think it’s right for a slave and it’s master to be friends?” She shook my head honestly. “No it isn’t but I would like to be your friend” He tilted his head. “Why?” “Because you seem like you need one” His eyes suddenly softened and Myla felt like she had gotten to him but he just turned away from her and walked away. “We can’t be friends so don’t hope on it” He muttered as he walked past her. Myla sighed. Why did he have to be so difficult? She turned around

Lucas suddenly coughed to break the tension. Ares cleared his throat as he looked away from Myla. “You look nice in that dress” Myla smiled. “Thank you, I really like it” Ares nodded then turned around and walked away. Cornelius rolled his eyes as he followed him. “Is something wrong?” Myla questioned as she walked towards Lucas but he just shook his head with a smile. “He just got blinded by your beauty for a second and needs to recover” Then he turned to Melody and outstretched his hand towards her. “Let’s go” Melody smiled then took his hand as they walked away. Myla smiled as she watched the pair. She was glad Melody was bought by Lucas.~ They all stood in front of the palace waiting for the carriage. “What’s that? That’s not the royal carriage” Ares muttered as soon as the carriage packed in front of them. “Well you are under disguise, aren’t you? If we were to carry the royal carriage then it defeats the whole purpose of this

Of course Myla couldn't say it like that unless she was ready to blow her cover. Instead, she said; “Oh… what happened to the chief then? Did.. did you kill him?" Ares turned to stare at her. His stare was becoming so penetrative that Myla had the urge to look away. “That's a story for another day, Let's go?" He turned away before she could reply. Myla sighed before following behind him. “Oh where's ma'am Isabel and Cornelius?" Myla asked as she suddenly noticed that only her and Ares were walking together. “She was complaining about her feet so I asked Cornelius to carry her back to the castle" “And he agreed?" Ares turned to her with a tilt of his head. “Why wouldn't he?" Myla shrugged. “Well I just thought Cornelius wouldn't want to leave your side especially in a crowded place like this. Anything can happen, you could get mobbed" Ares chuckled. “Cornelius doesn't really care about me that much, he just acts in front of you all" Myla gi

Ares pulled away from a breathless Myla with a smile on his face. “Thank you for making this night so memorable for me. I don’t think I’ve ever been this free, this alive, this… happy” Myla smiled then placed a soft kiss on his lips. “I’m happy to hear that” Ares seemed like he wanted to say something else but then, Cornelius appeared and covered Ares’ head with his coat. “It’s raining Alpha, you shouldn't be out here. I’ll take you to a shed right now” Ares rolled his eyes as Cornelius led him away while Myla followed behind him. They arrived at an empty shed and Cornelius immediately created something that Ares could sit down on. Ares groaned suddenly. “Stop treating me like a child, you don’t always have to worry about me. Besides, I’m fine” Cornelius sighed. “Being out in the rain isn’t good for you and neither is it good for you, Myla. Why didn’t you lead him to a shelter?” “I was the one who wanted to stay in the rain so don’t s
