Ares' pov I woke up with a start, and immediately snapped my eyes shut as the bright light from the window flooded in and momentarily blinded me.“Fuck,” I groaned and pressed a finger on my throbbing temple.The sound of running water from a distance echoed loudly in my ears, making me groan.Slowly, I opened my eyes again till they got used to the light, and a crease formed on my forehead a second later when my environment wasn't in any way familiar.I massaged my temple, trying to remember how I got here but the splitting pain in my head limited my memory.I took in the scent in the room and my body stiffened at the familiar scent. It smelled like Noelle and sex.I took deep breaths and focused on remembering.The meeting.The rain afterwards.Rodolfo stopping me.The pub.Noelle.Noelle!My eyes snapped open at the last one and I jumped out of the bed.I looked at the time on the clock and my eyes widened.“Fuck!”11:30.Tabitha.It wasn't until I was fully out of the bed that I

“Hey, beautiful.”A warm smile spread on my lips, mirroring Rodolfo's expression.“Come in,” I moved to the side. “Well, technically, I don't have to ask you to come in because it's your place,” I laughed awkwardly.“Nonsense,” he waved me off. “You can stay here as long as you like,” he repeated the same words he'd been saying for the past two weeks.“Breakfast?” I asked, forcing cheeriness I didn't feel into my voice.“Sure,” he nodded and came all the way in.I skimmed through the space that had housed me for the last couple of weeks and went towards the open plan kitchen. The house was spacious, peaceful and airy, and as much as I liked staying there, I knew I had to leave soon.All my attempts at buying a ticket to go far away from here with the little money I had saved up, proved difficult, which was why I was still here. The flight was always cancelled last minute.“Where are you lost?” Rodolfo's voice brought me back to reality, and I flipped the pancake just in time before it

Ares' pov My cheek stung, but it was child's play compared to the ache in my heart as I realized how big of a dick I was after the words left my lips.“Tabitha, I'm…”“Don't,” she held a shaky hand up, making me swallow the rest of my words. “You may leave and I'll really appreciate it if you don't show me your face again.”Her cold, emotionless voice caught me off guard, but I knew it was just a front to hiding what she was really feeling inside, so I pressed.“Tabitha…”“Rodolfo, please see them out,” she said and turned around.Different emotions ran through me as I watched her retreating back, but all the words melted in my tongue at the reality of what was going on.“You heard her,” Rodolfo broke my thoughts with a smug look on his face and his chest poked out.I knew I should be thankful to him for keeping her safe, but the thought of him being so close to her sprung a bitter feeling in my heart and my anger returned a hundred fold and I gripped his shirt. “I was with you that

Ares' pov My eyes scanned the page for a few seconds before I crumpled it and tossed it into the trash can.My teeth were clenched, eyes dark and hair disheveled, the same state I've been in since morning.I didn't even know if it was evening yet because my curtains were drawn close and time seemed to stop around me.I grabbed my bottle of whiskey and took a big gulp, some of its content spilling on the paper in front of me, but I didn't care. My wolf life was a mess, so everything around me could as well be a mess.Her words kept replaying in my mind like a broken record, haunting me, mocking me.I had remained in my frozen state, just looking into space and everything she said about the beautiful life the child would have breezed past my ears.I had a hard time accepting it.It was too difficult to.I had never knocked up any woman, not because I was able to, but because I was always extremely careful.And now this.I couldn't deny the child and bring it into this world to suffer f

Ares' pov The tall roof of my house came into view and I couldn't wait to finally settle on my bed after a long day at work.I parked my car and I massaged my temple where a permanent migraine has taken camp in my head as I walked into the house.I had intentionally incorporated more hours of work into my daily routine because of…..“Baby,” she screeched, walking towards me…her.My scowl deepened as I tried to move past her but she remained unmoving in front of me, placing her hands on her hips.I had once admired Noelle for how persistent she was, but in these past few months, there was nothing I hated more than it. I'd never seen anyone that keeps coming back no matter how much you push them.She was nearing her last trimester and the doctors had advised she had people around her round the clock, and even though I had ordered for as many caregivers as possible to move into her house, she insisted to stay in my house and even went as far as starving herself for days till her body c
