ARES'S POVSitting across from him, with my eyes fixed on him was starting to become awkward. I kept my mind as blank as possible so he wouldn't get anything. “Are you trying to stare me to death?” He asked, maintaining eye contact. “You know if you're going to keep your guard up, then it's no fun.”“Let it loose, Ares. Let me hear your dirty thoughts,” he teased, making his eyebrows dance. “Not a chance.”“You'll sooner or later. No one can go that long without thinking, brother.”“We might as well try,” I replied. “Uh-huh. Let's see how you keep up when Nadia's

Luca's POV Two Days Later: A sharp knock echoed as I sketched the final line in my drawing. I closed my notebook and answered. “Come in.”The guard entered and bowed. “Prince, Luca. His majesty wishes to see you in his study.”“What for?” I asked. “He didn't say,” the guard answered. “Okay,” I let the words slip out of my mouth and followed him out of the room. I raised my hand to knock on his door but his voice stopped me. “Come in already.”“He sounds cranky,” I muttered, and pushed the door open. I walked in, and closed the door, taking the seat in front of me as he gestured. “I am cranky,” he said, taking me by surprise. He had heard me. I smiled, remembering he was just as much as a wolf as I was. He sat stiffly, his shoulders squared and his eyes fixed on some papers which he kept signing. I sat, watching him for a couple of minutes while I did nothing but yawned. Having nothing to do and being completely invisible, I read his mood. He was still upset with Ares. That wa

LUCA Gazing up at the hilltop, I saw the guards appear. One pointed like a robot at us and my breath seized. Ares moved but I held him still. “Stay out,” I muttered. “We don't want to offend them.”He scoffed and pushed me away and that's when I sensed it. The guards started to move. “Great job, brother. You just made them come to us,” I spat. “Better. I don't have to wait to get her,” Ares responded, tightening his fist as he turned to face the guards coming down from the hill. They came from all sides, multiplied by tens until they reached a few distance from us and stopped. Ares straightened up slowly when he noticed they hadn't attacked. “Why did they stop?” He asked. “They can't attack unless we do. You would know that if you paid attention in courtesy class,” I almost barked, giving him the side eye. “Neither can we kill them,” he finished. I had my back to Ares, watching the other side carefully. “How terrific that you remember. I thought you lost your brains.”He didn

LUCA“She's gone, Luca.” She cried. “I…I just got her. What should I do?”Her body shook as she shivered. My legs felt a little numb from kneeling but I didn't care. I tried to think of something to tell her to make her feel better but I didn't have one. Should I tell her that her wolf was just tired and would be back soon? Nah, that sounds like I'm drunk. What if I irritate her more? I was out of ideas and kept quiet, feeling her hand claw at my skin from my shirt. I summoned every ounce of strength in me, carefully speaking calmly. “It's okay, Nadia. I'm here.”She sniffed and raised her gaze to look at me. Her teary eyes were dreamy and had sadness in them. I wiped the tears rolling down her cheek and murmured. “Just breathe. That's it. You're doing great.”It took a while but she eventually calmed down and hugged me. I stroked her hair, brushing softly on the strands while her chest rested against my chest. I had come to ask her questions because I couldn't shake off what the

NADIA  “I was out with Luca,” I answered. “We had some…leisure time.” Her face softened and she smiled faintly. “Do you think I am a terrible mother?” Where did that come from?  “Who told you that?” I asked, but she didn't respond. I pulled her into a hug. “Mom, I love you. You're strong and you love me.” “I love you, honey,” she breathed and the door opened, taking us by surprise. Arnold stood there, locking eyes with me.  “You're out already?” He asked, looking shocked.  Mom frowned
