CHAPTER 14

I swung around and said, "Yes.

".

But he just hugged me and kissed me passionately. After we backed up, I cast a perplexed glance his way.

"My Love, I just had to do that. I'm not mad at you, no. I'm upset with this person because they offended me. You didn't tell me about that, which makes me disappointed that you didn't have enough faith in me to do so. That is not the cause, I tried to correct him, but he interrupted me by saying, "But that doesn't mean it would never be. I'm sure you'll tell me about it later. While you should be cautious around the person abusing you in the meantime, I'm positive of that. I was very moved by his conclusion. "Promise me, you'll do it!". He treats me with a level of respect and comprehension that I have never experienced. Only my mother, who recently passed away, had ever treated me with this level of respect and understanding.

He caught my eye, and I gave him a serious look before wrapping my arms around him. He hugged me back and took a breath of my neck. After a moment, we moved back, and I stared into his stunning forest green eyes. Standing on my tiptoes, I poked his lip.

"Goodbye, Ares. Will you come meet me tomorrow?

I asked hesitantly.

I'll miss you, Sweetie.

Naturally, I'd like to meet you tomorrow, he answered with a smile.

He remained there until I got there, when I closed the door, and then I went back to my house, going around.

When the door finally opened, I saw that he had arrived as I was putting dinner on the table for him.

What are you cooking today, bitch?

he demanded with a scowl.

I said softly, "I'm making meatball spaghetti.

".

"Fine.

He warned, "You're going to get some good punishment today if it's not ready in no more than 15 minutes.

Fortunately, despite my hurried preparation, it came together in under 15 minutes. I placed it in a dish and covered it. and then walked over to his room's door and banged on it.

He screamed "What," and I answered, "Sir, dinner is ready. ". I was not allowed in his room, but one day I made the mistake of entering while he was away, and as a result I suffered several injuries, including severely broken ribs, a concussion, bruises all over my face, and more. I haven't gone into his room to hear what he has to say since it happened two years ago. If I had, I would have had to keep viewing my body the same way I did back then.

I shook my head and made an effort to forget about that horrible incident before going to my room and getting comfortable to sleep while thinking about Ares, who was appreciative of a good night's sleep.

I ought to go running.

My wolf's reasoning was in line with mine.

I pulled into a parking spot and morphed into a huge reddish-brown wolf in the nearby forest. All of these feelings, including the anger I felt upon seeing the bruises, the sadness I felt when she refused to say who had done that to her, the frustration of doing nothing, and the regret for being a bad partner, all hit me as I ran. I wanted to move so quickly that, while I would be just a passing wind to humans, I would be just a brown blur to any other wolves.

After running for hours, I eventually went back to the packhouse. I decided to research her a bit while I was running and told my lovely partner that I would wait for her to reply, but I can't help but think about it and feel ineffective. I'll look around a little and make a list of people I don't think would hurt her, just to make sure she won't get hurt any more. At the same time, I'll wait for her to tell me who it is and the entire tale—which I know she will—to make sure she doesn't.

Bren, I need you to look for people close to Alana, and it needs to be finished by tomorrow, but not in the Alpha voice.

".

Alpha, of course.

Bren asked in full Beta form, "But what happened to our Luna, is she alright?

She is not, in fact. "Someone hit her again, and she won't tell me who did that to her," I sighed as I said.

"Oh, I have no doubt that Ares would tell you. Brother, have faith, he said as he softly patted my back.

My dearest friend, you are now.

".

"I know, I just hope she tells me soon and stops hurting.

the inability to protect her.

I'm dying while attempting to keep her safe. I wish I could do something. I said, burying my head in my hands, "I feel like the worst partner anyone could have.".

You understand that you are a good friend in every way. In fact, it shows how great a partner you are because you were able to keep your cool and control your anger. Bren's friend Macy, who had apparently joined our conversation, consoled me by saying, "I'm actually proud of you.

"Are you?" I softly enquired.

"Of course, I am. You are a wonderful friend. I'm positive Alana will feel the same way once she finds out that we exist and that you are her mate. In the same way that I think I'm lucky to have Been in my life, she would think she's lucky to have a compatible partner. Everything will be fine, she assured me as she hugged me. Bren hugged her from behind, kissed her cheek, and whispered softly before pulling away.

I gave her my sincere gratitude and said, "Macy, I really need to hear it. ". She responded by smiling. That was followed by her and Bren leaving me in my office alone.

I'd make a fantastic friend. Alana, I'm going to track down the person who assaulted you, and they will pay for it. No one will be able to upset you after that, Queen, Mi Amor.

The god of Greece.

Fortunately, Ares didn't bring up my bruises when he first learned about them a few days ago. The past week or so has been joyful and typical, and now that I think about it, I actually enjoy being typical. I enjoyed being normal because I had a good, considerate boyfriend, a generally upbeat atmosphere in the home, and a smile on my face all the time. The fact that I haven't been abused or have any fresh bruises on my body or face is yet another fortunate development. To put it mildly, the past week or so has been joyful and typical.

Let's return to the present since classes have ended for the day. The time has come for me to meet Ares. I had spent a few minutes looking through my sparsely stocked wardrobe, trying to decide what to wear. I don't have many options, but I'm attempting to choose the best outfit. I decided to wear a straightforward, loose cream sweater with black jeans. Before leaving, I put some foundation, mascara, and my favourite cherry chapstick on. I also let my blonde hair down.

I knew Ares had arrived when the bell rang as I was departing. The moment I moved a few steps to open the door, I was engulfed in a tight hug. I released his hold and hugged him back.

I missed you, he murmured, sighing. I chuckled lightly as my cheeks warmed up.

Ares: "We just recently met.

".

I'm aware that it took some time. For so long, I've put off doing this. He put his lips on mine before I could even ask him a question, and I gave him a passionate kiss. A quick make out session resulted from this. Then I understood that even I had forgotten about this. Ares was sorely missed. But it's impossible to forget someone you saw just yesterday. I mentally shook my head to clear it.

Ares didn't say, "Let's go, he murmured. He smiled as he noticed how much I had been laughing and giggling lately. I continued to giggle. Ares is changing me, and I like it. I'm loved, strong, and self-assured. I've been waiting so long to feel everything, and I'm overjoyed to be doing it now.

Is everything okay, Mia?

he inquired while placing a gentle hand on my shoulder. He calls me Mia and lots of other sweet nicknames.

Yes, Ares.

"I'm fine," I murmured, "just thinking about how much you improved my life and how I can make amends.

He forced me to look into the most stunning eyes in the world by cupping my cheeks. I should tell you, Mia, that you have made my life better and made me a happier, better person. "And the question is: How am I going to compensate you for being with me?" he said as he kissed my lips.

Finally, after that, we joyfully departed in his car for the place Ares was transporting us to, but without telling me.

When we arrived, Ares signalled as he stopped the car.

".

He came to my door and I thanked him for coming.

I noticed a charming and inviting restaurant.

It felt cosier and more welcoming when we went inside.

Here, everything exudes warmth and hospitality.

I'm really enjoying it.

I remarked after we sat down.

"I agree as well.

This is my favourite spot to go when I want some quiet time and a satisfying meal.

I agree, he said.

What would you like to have?

the young waiter enquired of us.

I didn't like how long he stared at me.

I was convinced that even Are

s knew what had happened by the low growl that came from his throat, which made the boy whose nametag said Luke turn away from me.
