Ares' pov “What do you say?” I asked, ignoring the presence in the room.Tabitha looked between the both of us, and I ground my teeth, angry that she was even hesitating because of him.“Please,” I added, not wanting to sound like a complete asshole or make her feel I was imposing anything on her.Her eyes locked on mine again and I could see her resolve breaking one after the other.“Fine,” she said.A part of me told me she only said that to discard me and ease the brewing tension in the room. But I would take a ‘yes’ in distress over a well-thought ‘no’ from her.“Thank you,” I moved to take her hand but she swiftly kept her hand away from my reach.That hurt but I decided not to show it.“I'll text you the address. 8 pm,” I said, my eyes boring into hers to see any form of resistance.She made a noncommittal sound at the back of her throat and looked away, but not before I see a flicker of doubt in her eyes.“I'll text you,” I said more firmly to reassure her.She nodded this tim

I stormed into the kitchen, fully dressed, my eyes fixed on Rodolfo, who was perched on a stool, his back to me. The air was thick with tension, and I could feel the weight of unspoken words hanging between us. “Where are you going?” Rodolfo asked as soon as he sensed me, his back to me.I never felt like I owed him an explanation to my where abouts like I did at that moment.The whole day after Ares left had been sour, none of us saying a word to each other, and I spent the day locked in the confines of my room to avoid the awkward tension.There were still a lot of things unsaid between us, but I couldn't bring myself to say them without feeling like a total bitch.Kissing one brother one day, then going to see another brother the next.He turned around and I realized I'd been silent for longer than was considered appropriate."Come," he said, his voice low and husky.I hesitated, my feet heavy with reluctance, but something in his tone drew me in. Maybe it was guilt from me end?A

My breath came out in short, quick pants as I rode out my high. Ares had said he wasn't going to last, but I didn't expect the heavy orgasm to crash down on me the way he did.In less than a minute, my body was heating up again and shame filled me.We still had a lot to talk about and having sex this way didn't solve anything. Heck he was still with Noelle and she was pregnant!I immediately felt terrible but the ache in between my legs made those thoughts fade.I clenched my legs shut, momentarily embarrassed so he wouldn't see me like a sex deprived maniac, but it was well beyond my control.“Don't hide from me,” his husky voice said from behind me.He turned my body so I was facing him and kept his knee in between my legs, keeping me from seeking friction from my legs.“Wee shouldn't be doing this. It's so wrong,” I shook my head.“Why?” He asked, his filled with different emotions that made my insides curled. “We're mates.”“Not anymore,” I said but I sounded like a moan at the en

I woke up the next morning with a smile on my face, feeling like I was walking on air. I was back with Ares, and this time, they were mated. My fingertips traces his mark on my neck and I smiled at the tingly sensation. So this was what being bound to someone felt like.Nyx was as happy as she could be and I'd never felt at peace like I was doing now, in his arms, knowing we had overcome the hurdle that separated us, and I was his like he was mine.It had been two weeks since we got back together, but we still couldn't get enough of each other.We had spent the everyday in these two weeks snuggled up together, only leaving the bed to receive our food that Ares had ordered for, and when totally necessary, and these two weeks have been the happiest of my life.I felt closer to him more than ever now and understood him on a different level since I could now feel what he was feeling through the mate bond, and most times, those feelings were unholy ones that had us tangled underneath the

My eyes opened and the first thing I noticed was the banging pain in my head. The room was utterly dark and somewhere in the far corner, I could hear the steady leaking of water, and the putrid smell of the place hit me square in the face.I groaned in pain, as I tried to move the searing pain in around my chest and arms told me I was bound. The silver burned deeply into my skin, causing me to roll my eyes in pain, and stay still on the chair.I felt something cold trickling down the side of my face and one sniff in the air, I knew it was blood.I tried to remember how I'd ended up in this position and after a few seconds of trying, my memory came back to me in bits and pieces till I made sense of the whole picture.I gritted my teeth and tried to break out of my restraints, but the more I did, the more it burned my skin.I closed my eyes to stop the tears that were threatening to fall. Just when everything was beginning to fall in place, this happens.My mind went to Ares, and I tri
