《The Dark Side Of Mates》全部章節：第 41 章 - 第 50 章

Chapter 41Dahlia.This isn’t happening. This can’t be happening.“Mate!” Lola whimpered back.*****Walking alone I headed towards the park. I was in a desperate state to clear my head and get my shit together before everything around me crumbles before my eyes. My mind is a scattered mess, and I don’t know what to do when jealous is threatening to consume me and guilt is trying to eat its way into my nerves.How the fuck am I supposed to go about this? Hades has a girlfriend, and Valerian is mate to my best friend, Lola. As painful and shameful as it is, I have to admit I still crave for them. My body throbs, hurts for their lingering touch, the feel of their skin brushing against mine, as well as their tongues licking on parts of my body I never knew needed that wet, fuzzy sensation caused by each of their advances.They made love to me last night and now I am about to decide to go about my life without them, or spend every damn day dreaming about those intense, heated moments w

Chapter 42Dahlia.Catherine, who insisted I call her Cathy, dragged me across every floor and every damn corner of the mall looking for the perfect ballgown. Apparently, her father heard that I was back in town, and he turned out to be best friends with my mother from childhood. Although I was not sure why my mother forgot to mention that part to me. Dad was all she ever talked about, she never mentioned having any other friends beside him, I mean friends of the opposite gender.So, in honor of my homecoming as well as another mysterious surprise announcement for Catherine, he decided to put on a ball for both of us, at midnight.It’s weird, right? I don’t even know the guy, and I’ve only met Catherine a week prior, and now I was about to have a ball intended for me, and Catherine.It would be a whole lot embarrassing if I didn’t go, since it was partly meant for me, and I have no other plans ruled out in mind. So, I said yes.“Yes. Why not?” I smiled at Catherine who was sitting acr

Chapter 44Dahlia.Damian smiled as he walked over to the railing where I was leaning on, his eyes scanning the forest below us.I closed my fists into balls, pursing my lips into a line. “How did you meet my Mom?” I asked, my heart pounding hard in my chest, not knowing why I felt all anxious around an older man. Well, not only is he an older man but the Alpha King himself. A smirk tugged on his lips. “Hm. Where to begin?” His eyes glistened as he looked deeper into the forest, as if in deep thinking. I waited patiently, giving him time and space to recall whatever he had with my mother. A few moments pass, when he lets his eyes glide from the forest before raising his gaze to lock with mine.Badump. “Scarlett was my best friend. My only friend back in the day.” He smiled, and I lean in attentively to hear more of his words.“Well, let’s just say I was the biggest introvert you could possibly meet in high school days. I never really learned how to speak with people other than comm

Chapter 46Dahlia.I stared down at the note, blinking. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I wonder why he wanted us to meet. I licked my lips dry, my hands shaking when I folded back the note.Three knocks on my door had me gasping with a mini-heart attack. I crumple the paper in my hand, turn, and open the door.My eyes settled on Hades’ and Valerian’s obsidian eyes. I bit my inner cheeks when I see the silent rage in their eyes.They did not let me say a word as they forced themselves into my room, shoving me back that my ass bounced on the foot of the bed. I looked up in time to see they have locked the door and ushered themselves in.“Get out.” I hissed, baring my teeth as I do not appreciate being broken into my own room, even if these two sexy hunks technically own the house I sleep in.“Answers first.” Hades growled back, instantly making me shut up with the outrage in his voice.“What were you doing in the Alpha King’s Kingdom?” Valerian was quick to ask, and my eyes dart to h

Chapter 48Dahlia.“Thanks, babe.” Cathy giggled as she gracefully slipped out of the car with the help of Hades.I open my eyes and see his gaze is on her now, my heart sank. I know I wasn’t imagining it when his gaze locked on me. A part of me still wanted his attention, though, but I couldn’t do that to Cathy.When Cathy was in level with Hades’, his eyes suddenly traveled back to me and winked.‘You look gorgeous, little flower.’ His compliment sneaked into my mind like a soft purr as he tugged on the mind link. ‘Thank you.” Was all I said as a response.I let Lola go first, so I could go last. I didn’t have a partner anyway. It was Atlas and Lisa, Hades and Cathy, then Lola and Valerian. That’s how it’s supposed to be.Once they all left the car, I gather my bearings and step out, my heels tapping on the stone floor. “Man. Am I lucky or you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever met?”I spin on my heel, my eyes moving past Hades and Valerian before they locked.“Tatum?” My brows
