Novel & Cerita The Gift Chronicles Ares

I expressed my heartfelt appreciation. "What are friends for? She said she was smiling. "But then Matilda," she added. "In exchange for not attacking the Crescent pack, Alpha Adrian said you owe him a gift, a gift he would be the one to ask for, and you must grant it," Eva said, her face furrowed, and I took a deep breath. "What do you think Alpha Adrian could ask for?" I asked, my face turned to Eva, wondering what game Alpha Adrian must be up to.

I took her hands in mine and comforted her. “We are absolutely ready for this,” I said. “And if it does backfire, trust that I’ll take care of things.” she nodded with a smile. I leaned in and kissed her forehead. I had already opened the Gift Felix brought back for Ares this morning. It was her parents' crowns. Apparently the one Damon was using was a fake. Her parents really thought ahead. I’ve had it cleaned and properly kept. We made our way to the ballroom. We could already hear the sound of guests associating, and soft music in the background. Smell of spices filled the air, as the people ate and drank together. The atmosphere was that of a joyous one.

For three days and three nights, I stayed by his side, using moonpetal grass and holy water to draw out the poison inch by inch until he finally recovered. After that, Aresios began to appear outside the Hall of Ancient Records more and more frequently. One night, as I was organizing scrolls late into the evening, Aresios came in. He handed me a crystal infused with his own divine power. "Come with me. You don't need to do such hard work anymore." I paused, then pushed the stone back. "There's no need, Lord Aresios. Watching over these ancient scrolls is no hardship for me." He gazed at me quietly for a long time, then left behind a crest engraved with his divine sigil.

His face lit up almost instantly, nodding in mutual agreement. "Flip the necklace, I've a surprise," Alex had a sly grin on his face that picqued much of my curiosity. I looked down and picked up the golden gemstone in between my thumb and forefinger, feeling Ares pace back and forth inside me as she watched the necklace closely. Turning over necklace, I caught sight of the emboldened, calligraphic letters written as A + E. Beautifully engraved into the gold plate of the golden necklace Alex has given to me as a gift.

"What's truly a shame is that such a wonderful man ended up with such a terrible wife. If you ask me, Edwin belongs with Esme. They're the perfect match." Esme blushed, nudging Mom shyly before sneaking a glance at Edwin. He lowered his head and sipped his wine. He neither refuted nor agreed. But his answer came during the gift exchange. He presented Esme with a ruby necklace. It wasn't just any necklace. It was his late mother's heirloom. He had told me about it, promising that he would personally place it around my neck on our fifth wedding anniversary. Now, he was placing it around Esme's neck. I watched without a trace of emotion, my heart completely hollow.

Ceryn didn’t find my comedic reaction funny, if anything, her frown deepened, “I don’t know. You tell?” “I was just going out shopping. I need to buy a present for Ares.” The lie rolled down my tongue smoothly before I could think over it. But considering the ease in Ceryn’s frown, I would say it worked. “Okay, I will see you—” She cut me off mid sentence. “I don’t think Alpha Ares deserves anything from you,” She mumbled under her breath but I caught it. My heart crushed to pieces at the reminder of what I saw at night.

Citizens, once again living in the harmonious balance crafted by the Chrono Custodian's guidance, sought to explore the twists of knowledge and enlightenment that lay beyond the cosmic horizon. Elara, forever attuned to the echoes of the Aeon Nexus, embarked on a cosmic journey to unravel deeper mysteries. The twists of her exploration led her to ancient cosmic libraries, where enigmatic texts spoke of a cosmic artifact known as the "Chronicle Prism." This artifact was said to hold the key to unlocking untold cosmic truths and was hidden across multiple dimensions.

For sure, he already told the groom his answer which he said yes and who knows, the groom might be anticipating at his wedding. I told Ares all the possible scenarios that may occur and happen yet he was sturdy in his decision in life. "Jameson knows the reason if I didn't come. He's a very understanding man so send him my regards and the gifts I bought for their wedding," Ares mumbled. "Yes, boss. The papers of the yacht you will be giving as a gift is ready." In an abrupt moment, my eyes widened. "Y-Yacht as a wedding g-gift?" Ares nodded arrogantly. "Uh–huh. I bought one for them."

Aurora immediately crouched in front of her daughter. "Hazel..." But the little girl kept staring toward the gate. As though still hoping someone would appear. Unfortunately, no one did. Darius turned to the courier. "When was this gift purchased?" The man thought for a moment. "Let me check, sir." He looked through the delivery records on his device. Then replied, "About two weeks ago." Darius fell silent. Two weeks. That meant the gift had been ordered before Dante completely disappeared. "Can you tell me who sent it?"

She could finally hear her mother call out to her. “Cherry.” “Mom.” “Listen to me please. Do you see the woman who handed you the necklace?” “Yes.” “She's a friend. I need you to go with them. They are there to bring you back home.” “Okay.” The Good Witch cast a levitation spell on the girl and she was able to get her out of the tree. Then she had Isabella's father hand her the water sack. She poured the contents over the girl's tail. Her scales stopped flaking and her wounds stop bleeding. The witch took out the shell.
