Chapter 23

"I'll kill him!" Ares growled as I explained to him the reason for my sudden departure from Aether's pack, sitting in his room the next day.

He was pacing around the room, furiously whispering to himself and I sighed, getting up from my seat to comfort him.

"Ares, calm down, you said you needed him, remember?" I reminded him, unfurling his clenched fists.

"That was before I knew what he did to you!" Ares' eyes flashing the colour of his wolf's, his fists clenching in anger.

I sighed and unfurled them again, pulling his face so his eyes met mine. They instantly softened and he leaned into my touch.

"I'm sorry, May... it's just...what kind of deranged wolf does something like that!?"

"He lost his mate, Ares, he thought I was his second chance." I said softly, wrapping my arms around myself and going to sit back down as the painful memories resurfaced.

"Well, you're mine," He said, coming to sit next to me, "Forget him, I can win without his help anyways."
