“Who are you?” I found myself repeating her question.This person obviously didn't like to be asked questions because her over-lined red lips curved up in a sneer.She was beautiful with bright blue eyes but those eyes held animosity as she stared down at me from her six-inch heels.“Haven't seen you around here before. You must be the new maid,” she said.“Haven't seen you around either,” I retorted.I knew I was being annoying but who cares?She narrowed her eyes in slits and bent down a bit so we were eye-level.“You seem not to know your place. I am the Alpha's….”The door burst open, cutting her off and she immediately stood upright and straightened her dress with her palm.I didn't even need to turn around to know who had entered.His presence, strong and domineering filled the room, almost bringing me to my knees.“What are you doing here?” His husky voice boomed.The woman, whose name I still didn't know, turned to me with a knowing smirk and crossed her arms over her chest.I

I stormed out of his study and with quick, hurried steps, marched to heaven knows where.Feeling the need to stop and breathe, I took the first turn and luckily, it was the kitchen.I walked towards the sink, grabbed a glass from the cabinet and placed it under the faucet, letting it fill up.Once it began to overspill, I turned off the tap and threw my head back, downing the water in one go, hoping the cool liquid would quench the fire in my heart on its way.I was livid.Never in my life, past and present, have I ever been treated this way.“Who the fuck does he think he is?” I growled inwardly.“Who does who think he is?” Someone asked from beside me and my eyes rolled to the back of my head.Could someone have any alone time in this place?I ignored her, hoping she would just disappear but of course, I didn't have such luck.“Tabitha, are you okay?” Hilda asked.I kept mute.“Did you get in a fight with someone?” She asked again.I turned abruptly to face her and probably tell her

I opened and closed my mouth a few times, trying to come up with something in my defense, but words failed me.Maybe it was the way the lighting reflected on Ares' face, but I thought I saw just the tiniest smile on his lips before he turned around and walked away, leaving me speechless in the hallway.“Shit, shit, shit,” I muttered under my breath as I repeatedly hit my palm on the part of my forehead that wasn't swollen. Way to make his ego larger than it already was.I growled at the awkward situation and my stomach grumbled, reminding me of the reason why I came out here in the first place.I headed to the fridge and a smile covered my face, the memory of the embarrassing situation with the Alpha, momentarily flying out the window at the sight of all the food in the fridge.My stomach grumbled again and I grabbed bars of chocolate with a big bowl of choco chip ice cream.With the smile still planted on my face, I headed back to the room, hoping not to bump into a certain someone

Ares’ povI clutched the fork in my hand tightly until it bent while I stared at her.I had my eyes on her almost throughout the meal.Heck, I've had my eyes on her since she came here, but I've never seen this expression on her face before.At the name of my beta, she breathed a deep sigh of relief like all was alright in the world and her eyes sparkled like a kid in a candy store.I didn't like it.I mean I liked that she did look softer and happy but I didn't like that she had that expression because of my beta.She only ever looked at me like she wanted to stab a knife through my chest, which only makes it more infuriating.“Why does her countenance bother you so much? I thought you didn't like our mate,” my wolf, Pellar growled at me.“I don't,” I snapped and cut the mind-link.He had been giving me a lot of attitude since this girl came here.I didn't blame him.He wanted a mate.But we didn't need her.We survived this long without one.If anything, her presence here only spelt

It was no news that the funeral of the great warrior was in three days.This gave me mixed feelings but mostly made me a nervous wreck.I've never been in this situation before and I didn't know what to make of it.I also hadn't seen Jason since that day and no, I wasn't fast enough to meet him.He was long gone before I came out of that encounter with Ares that annoyed me for days.I was currently helping Hilda in preparing dinner as different thoughts raced through my mind but the one at the top of that list was how to get to Jason.Maybe if I could…“Ah!” The small cry left my lips and I dropped the knife noisily.“What is it?” Hilda rushed to my side and her eyes widened as they fell on my finger that was now gushing out blood. “Oh my goodness,” she blurted out and immediately turned on the tap and pushed my finger under the sink.“I'm okay,” I said and held back an eye roll at her overreaction.“You're bleeding!” She all but screeched in my ears.“Wow really?” I asked sarcastical
