NINETY-ONE

KALILA’S POVI got bored of waiting for Jeremy to come back, Ares’s acetic mood completely changed and thickened the atmosphere the moment he walked in. I had a feeling that whatever he wanted to say to Jeremy would be very important and I had the impulse to listen to what they were saying. At first, I resisted the urge to go and eavesdrop on their conversation, but this was one of those rare occasions Nova was a bad influence. “You're burning with curiosity already, it wouldn’t hurt to catch a bit of what they are saying and what’s making your mate angry.” Nova said in that smooth cooing voice. She wasn’t wrong, I really wanted to know what they were talking about but what if the door suddenly swung open and Ares caught me? What would I even tell him I was doing there? No, it was too much of a risk. “Don’t you know how Ares ends a meeting? The moment he rises to his feet, the meeting is over.” Nova said. “Common, just go.” Nova was right, it wouldn’t be difficult for me to figur

NINETY-TWO

KALILA’S POVI was so shocked as I just stood there, I saw the look of surprise in Ares’s eyes, it was obvious he hadn’t expected it but why did he just sit there? Why did he just stay still and let her kiss him? The anger in me was burning fiercely as I saw the look of satisfaction in Wendy’s eyes, the bitch! I stormed into the living room angrily, it wasn’t me that was in full control of my body anymore, my emotions took over completely. “What the fuck did I just see?” I yelled, glaring murderously at Wendy.She almost jumped from the couch with shock as she saw me, her face went completely white. Ares remained calm and only a flicker of surprise flashed in his eyes. I felt like strangling Wendy at the moment. “It’s not what you think Dahlia.” He said, getting to his feet.“I guess I’m color blind then, or short sighted and what I saw wasn't Wendy kissing you!” I yelled, my voice laced with anger and bitterness. “Right, Ares?”Wendy rolled her eyes and got up, “Why are you making

NINETY-THREE

ARES’S POVThere was something about Kalila’s timing, she always had to walk in at the worst time possible. Wendy had visited and we talked about the party, she wasn’t happy with the way I had left. “Ares common, you didn’t even stay up to ten minutes.” She complained, pouting at me. “What happened?” “Something came up, I had to leave immediately. After all, I told you I won’t stay long and I would send a driver to come and get you but Dolph came back empty handed. Why didn’t you come back with him?” I asked. “I thought something pissed you off and you had completely forgotten about me, so I hitched a ride with Ralph. I even saw the look on your face before you walked out. I didn’t want to interrupt then because I thought you both were talking about business, because that’s how you look whenever you’re talking about business. So I continued talking with the group of ladies with me, when I turned again, you were gone. Ralph said you left suddenly in an upset manner, what happened?”

NINETY-FOUR

KALILA’S POVI laid on the bed in frustration and slowly arranged my dress back into place. Ares was just evil, the complete definition of a fiend, why would one arouse a woman and leave her half way? When we were at it, I had completely lost myself in the moment, Ares's touch sent a ravaging fire throughout my body and all I could do was give myself to him wholeheartedly.The bastard. I could have just slept there, was this his own way of apologizing for what happened the previous day? If it was, then he was very petty. The sky wasn’t too dark so I decided to head out to the garden to catch some fresh air, there was still a want in me for Ares. What he did to me was torture, I remembered the stupid question he kept asking me. What was my idea of love? He probably did all that just to show off, how egoistic of him. I sat down on a garden bench and I saw the beautiful marigolds at a corner, growing peacefully and beautifully. I hated them. I sat alone for sometime, then someone pulle

NINETY-FIVE

KALILA’S POV I had already gone white with fear, so it was a great relief when I looked up and saw who I saw, it was Jeremy. He had a very intent frown on his face and his eyes stared past me with a suspicious glint. I almost tripped and fell but Jeremy was very quick, he reached out a hand and grabbed me. “Be careful, Dahlia.” He said as he pulled me up, his voice wasn’t nice at that moment but impatient.Suddenly, Wendy and uncle Lawrence turned sharply and stared in our direction. Once again Jeremy’s lightening reflexes came to play, he grabbed my waist with one arm and pulled me to him while his free palm covered my mouth. We blended into the darkness immediately while Wendy and uncle Lawrence squinted with a frown in our direction. He let go of my mouth slowly and I whispered, “Let’s go! They’re done with the meeting.” He shook his head, “No, not yet, just watch.”I looked at them again, truly they weren’t done as they kept talking, there was a smile on Wendy’s face. The sam

NINETY-SIX

ARES’S POVI still regaled in the way my last meeting with Dahlia had gone, despite my intentions just to leave her stranded, I was also stranded myself. Leo was right, it was just an ego trip that satisfied neither of us, it still satisfied my pride though. I remembered the desperate look of lust in her eyes as she looked up at me, I could have had her there and then. “But you decided that your ego needed to be satisfied first.” Leo said. “Don’t be so bummed, eh Leo? Dahlia's not running away, things will be sorted out.” I replied confidently as I walked up the stairs. I got to the bedroom and waited for sometime, expecting Dahlia to walk in any time soon but she didn’t. Then I heard a car pull into the driveway and I looked at the time. The darkness was beginning to cover the sky, who was visiting this late? I didn’t bother to check, I just laid on my bed, waiting for a knock on the door. Three minutes later it came and then a maid walked in and bowed to me. “Alpha Ares, you

NINETY-SEVEN

KALILA’S POVI was still stuck on the reason for Ares’s sudden anger, the glint in his furious eyes had frightened me. Something made me think whatever it was, it was either caused my uncle Lawrence or directed at Jeremy, it was probably both. I didn’t want to get involved, I would ask Jeremy what the issue was the next day. “Dear Kalila, you’re so naïve sometimes.” Nova said as I walked up the stairs.I stopped, “What do you mean by that, Nova?” I asked.“Are you saying it’s only anger you saw in Ares’s eyes?” She asked.What else was there? I thought, wondering what she was driving at, then I nodded. “Yes, that’s all I saw. From the looks of things you saw something else. Share it with me then.” I said, I stood rigidly, listening with rapt attention to Nova’s words.“You've already come to a conclusion, it’s either it was caused by his uncle or directed towards Jeremy. You’re not too wrong, it’s definitely the latter. His eyes held anger, jealousy and a tiny glimpse of hatred. But

NINETY-EIGHT

KALILA’S POV“Are you sure you’re okay, ma’am?” Angela asked as we left the pack gates, there was genuine concern in her eyes.All I did was look out of the window, each tear that dropped I wiped it off immediately. I needed to hold myself back, it wasn’t worth crying over. I had been a fool to fall for Ares during this stupid mission when all I had to do was protect him. Maybe Wendy was right, maybe she would always win, after I saved Ares and I was back in the human world, who would be left? Wendy of course, she would take my place here and become the Luna after I’ve saved Ares’s fucking life.As those thoughts clouded my head, I remained silent for a while, waiting for something. An advice, a warning, a consolation, but none came.“Why aren’t you saying anything? I know you want to say something so why the hell are you silent?” I asked Nova. “Common, go ahead and say it!”“Relax, Kalila, it’s not a crime that you fell for Ares during your mission. You see him everyday so it’s very

NINETY-NINE

ARES'S POVNow I was really upset with Wendy, I just stood outside as the cloud of dust around me faded, watching the car drive away. I could already picture Dahlia crying and cursing me for 'cheating' once again and all it did was make me angry at Wendy. The previous day I had seen very little of Dahlia, I wasn’t even aware that she and Jeremy were bound for the Blue Moon pack today. When I got back from the meeting, it was in the early hours of the morning and I was already awake before Dahlia was. My first visitor of the day, was of course the one that would ruin the rest of the day for me, it was Wendy. “Wendy? What are you doing here by this time?” I had asked when she walked in with a smile on her face. “I haven’t seen you in a while, Ares. I came to check on you because I was missing you.” She said, perching on the edge of my desk instead of taking a seat like normal people did.That had made me squint at her but I said nothing, anything that made her comfortable, she coul

HUNDRED

KALILA’S POVWendy was oblivious to my presence the whole time, she didn’t even bother to turn or look around while she carefully mixed whatever she put into the wine. That was a very big mistake, this was the break through.Ares came into the living room and immediately she plastered a warm smile on her face and walked towards him with the glass. The devil! “Here you go, Ares.” She said and handed the glass to him.Before Ares could take a sip, I walked to him and snatched the glass of dangerous liquid from his hand and placed it on a table. I didn’t bother talking to him at that point or even accusing Wendy, I just walked past him. As expected I heard his footsteps behind me as I ascended the stairs and all I thought about was what I had seen in his study when I ran in earlier. I kept on walking and before I entered the bedroom he caught up to me and held my hand. “Dahlia.” He called, his deep voice husky and hesitant. It was rare for him to sound so unsure of himself.I didn’t l
