KALILA POVMy stay at Dahlia's pack wasn't all that bad; it was an intriguing place, and I actually liked it. However, there was one factor that I had grown so used to, Ares. I had fully settled into Dahlia's room, which was marvellous. It was designed with only the best furniture and a few paintings that I guessed Dahlia had been attracted to. It was a place genuinely befitting a princess. Frankly, I was treated like one, mainly by Dahlia's parents. Her mother had seen to it that all my needs were thoroughly catered for."Oh, dear! No way, you're not to do a thing! Does Ares make you work when he has servants?" she would often ask.She made me feel like a little girl returning from a harsh boarding school. I often wondered how she would react if I were to tell her that I had become a regular at Ares's dreadful dungeon."You would see another level of freak out. She loves Dahlia more than her father. I'm not sure your marriage with Ares would last a second longer," Nova often told me

KALILA’S POV The door vibrated from the impact as I slammed it violently behind me when I walked into the room, Angela had met me coming up the stairs and from the flustered expression that came to her face, I could tell that she had noticed the contorted look of anger on my face. I felt like a kettle of water on a red hot fire, I was fuming, even as I sat down in front of the mirror by the bed and stared at my face. I didn’t like him, at all. Ares was everything bad to me and I hated the fact that I was tasked with the gruesome mission of keeping such an arrogant man alive. I wouldn’t have minded being on the other side, I really didn’t like him. Although, coming back to the Crescent moon pack, I hadn’t expected him to welcome me with open arms, a hug and perhaps even a kiss. No, I had come back unannounced and I knew he wouldn’t like it. But the direct and harsh in which way he had made it crystal clear to me that my presence was unwanted here got on my nerves. As I kept s

KALILA’S POV In a way I was right about my assumptions, Ares was very reluctant to let me go when I brought up the topic of visiting the Blue moon pack. I was starting to discover how much of a jealous man he actually was and it gave me a slight feeling of satisfaction. I approached him the next day, after a night of deep thoughts and consideration, I knew the Blue Moon pack had to be my next destination. Whatever I could get out of Melissa would be a very important clue in the puzzle I was trying to solve. Ares spent the whole morning in his study and I was forced to go there for the first time. With a gentle knock, I opened the door and he was quite startled to see me. “If you have any questions yet again, I’d advice you-” He started to say with an annoyed look on his face. “No, no, I don’t have any questions, just a request.” I said and stood awkwardly by his desk. He didn’t gesture for me to sit. “Well what is it? You're invading on my time.” He said curtly as he regarded me.

ARES’S POV “What’s going on with her?” I thought with a frown on my face as I returned to my study. I pulled a drawer out and took out a cigarette and a golden lighter from it. “She has been acting funny ever since she came back from that Blue Moon pack, something must have happened there.” “You bet.” Leo concurred and I detected the accusing and suspicious tone in his voice. “She’s definitely been acting all strange, like she’s trying to hide something or shit.” I sat thinking for a long while, I hated the way Dahlia completely occupied my thoughts at times like this. On a certain night, she had been in the living room, staring at the fire that glowed brightly at the fire place. It had started to snow and I guessed she was cold, but there was a fire place in my room too, so I asked her to use that one. She had refused and insisted on staying in the living room. I had been so confused that night and I felt she was doing everything within her powers to avoid me, that was unnatura

ARES’S POV I closed the door behind me, my face was already turning red but not fully with anger, I was also jealous, I had to admit it after Leo’s recurrent voice in my head. “It would be very nice if you shut the fuck up, Leo.” I snarled at him. “Why? And why are you getting worked up over nothing?” He asked. “Nothing? Over nothing? They were signaling something to each other behind my back, when did they become so close?” I replied with a question. “Let me see,” Leo said thoughtfully. “Right from the days before she became your Luna.” ‘I’m not comfortable with it.” I said flatly. “Since when did you give two fucks about her? Let the bitch be.” Leo said indifferently. “What?” I exclaimed, failing to believe what I just heard, did Leo really just call Dahlia that? “What did you say, Leo? I thought you were on her side?” “Look at that glowering and intent look on your face, your nerves jerk off at the mention of her name. I was just messing with your little b
