Jason's Pov “Daddy. Wake up.. wake up.. wake up!” Adriana shouted with each jump on my bed I was already up after the first shout, but decided not to get up to rile her “Daddy! Please get up” she said in frustration “Hello bean. Why are you up so early?” I said turning to face her “I want to make pancakes, but I can't reach the counter” she said sheepishly “Is that your only problem, bean?” I tease “I can't make pancakes and I can't do the flipping thing” she said with a quiver in her voice. One wrong word from me and she'll burst into tears. I try to avoid making her cry as much as possible. “Come here” I open my arms wide for her and she jumps into my arms for a hug. “Let's go make pancakes” “Yay!” “Wait!” I said placing her down and putting on some shoes. “Why do you want to make pancakes?” “I want to give it to the pretty wolf that did rawwr and save Adi” she said referring to Ares That makes the pancakes a little more special. “Okay,” I clap “let's do it” I lift her a
Ares PovI shower and change into my own clothes and head back downstairs. There's movement all around me. Everyone was up.I spot Josh in the living room easily. And walk towards him.“Hi” I said“Your h–” he starts to say when I immediately cover his mouth. I received looks for my strange action. I signal him with my eyes to keep it down. Before I let go of his mouth.“Where can we talk?” I asked“Alpha said we can use his office. It's soundproof and away from straying ears.” He replied. I nodded and he led the way to the office.“This is all going to sound a bit much, but I promise to explain everything in detail” he said“I want to know” I said in determination“I will start at the beginning” he said and tapped something on his own beads and a voice rang out, telling the story…The moon hung low in the dark sky, blessing us with its ethereal glow. The palace was filled with joyous noise at the celebration of the birth of the princess. The king and queen had had her for a while, b
I stay afloat for the next five minutes as my body absorbs all of the power before I descend. I feel the power within me with every inhale and exhale.“What just happened?” Jason asked, looking between me and Josh.“She activated one third of her powers” Josh replied like it was an everyday sight “now we just need to find her mate to complete the activation.” He continued“I am her mate.” He said. “Ohh” Josh muttered. “What activation are we talking about?” Jason asked perplexed“We are not sure, but if the seer was right and if what his dad said was true, there's more to come.” I answeredI feel Athena rise in my mind.“Ask for an open ground. We need to shift. Fast.” she said in a hurry“Is there an open ground? Away from others if possible. I need to shift” I said to JasonHe thinks for a moment before he replies “there might be, come with me.” He said and led us both outside“Josh, this might come out offensive, but I need you to leave. The bead halts my shift everytime I'm in the
I test the limits of my powers for the rest of the day. I realise I can touch the surface of a person's thought if I visualise their face and name in mind, but it took a toll on me to do that.The next day, I look for Madison to ask for her help. She comes along with another friend of hers.“Hi Ares. I've heard so much about you from Madison” the stranger said to meI look at Madison in confusion. I haven't heard a word about the stranger and I wasn't sure what she had heard of me.“She knows about how you saved Adi. She was away for some pack business at the time” Madison clarifies. “Ohh” I said and finally nodded in greeting to her.“This is Isabelle” she said pointing to her friend who waved at the mention of her name“Hi,” I said to her. “I need your help,” I said, turning back to Madison.The urgency in my voice makes her respond seriously. “Sure. What do you need?” She said“I need new clothes. Can you show me to the store to get some things? I noticed I don't have the proper a
He opened the car boot and brought out the equipment. He came along with a dumbbell, battle ropes, a stop-watch, a whistle and jump ropes.He hung the whistle around his neck and held the timer to his chest. “You see that tree with the markings over there?” He said pointing at a tree five hundred metres away “you are going to run there and back. I want to check out your speed.”I stretch out my muscles and feel the adrenaline rush. My heart starts to race in anticipation. At the sound of the whistle, I take off running.I run a minute slower than I would in my wolf form, but I manage to impress him with the time.“You did better than I expected” he said, his demeanor towards me changing. “You were better than most of the guys I train. Since your speed is good, we will be focusing on your other aspects”“Such as?” I asked, eager to learn more.“Your strength, agility, core training, stance and self defence” he listed off his fingers “let's start with the core training. We’ll use runnin
Jason's PovI asked her out. I have already prepared everything for today's date. The picnic blankets, food, wine, covers if she felt cold. I prepared the perfect place.I want to make this work. Ares is already attracted to me, but she's still scared of accepting me completely. I don't blame her, not after what that twat did to her. Besides, I'm willing to wait however long it takes.I've been planning this for a while now. I've handed all pack responsibilities for the day to Luke. He can hold down the forte.I sense her the moment she leaves the room to head down. I walked to the stairs to wait for her to descend so I could offer my arm as a gentleman.Her beauty stuns me the moment I look up. She was already beautiful without effort, but when she's all dolled up like this, she's breathtaking.“Hi” she whispered all breathy“You look absolutely stunning, love” I said, wasting no time complimenting her. I watch as her cheeks redden. Dax, my wolf howls in my head at her reaction.“Tha
Ares PovI woke up with a small yawn and stretch my limbs. The thought of last night comes rushing back and I squeal like a girl into my pillow, his pillows. “We kissed” I said out loud“I know, I saw” Athena replies in my mind“It was great” I sigh dreamily“It was” she saidI felt positive today. I have training with Carlton later today. I whistle a tune as I get ready. Bouncing lightly in my feet. I still have a few hours before Carlton comes to pick me up.*Knock knock“Who's it?” I asked, turning to face the door like I could see through it.“Madison and Isabelle” Madison answeredI open the door for them. “What's up?”“How was it?” “How was what?” I asked confused“Oh you know…” Isabelle said, wiggling her eyebrows at me. I wonder if they know.“My training with Carlton?” I asked. Though I'm not afraid of everyone knowing I'm Jason's mate, I just don't want to go around announcing it just yet. “Yes. What's your opinion of him?” Madison said, bouncing on the bed.“He's okay.
He wasted no time throwing punches and kicks at me. I liked that he wasn't taking it easy irrespective of my gender. I dodged and countered with the moves I just learnt. The more I countered, the more my confidence grew, the more fluid my movement became.“Impressive, Ares! You're getting the hang of it,” Carlton said in encouragement. “But remember, self-defence isn't just about the physical. Always be ready for any surprise attack.” he said before throwing a jab at my ribs.“Ahhh” I grunted, he shook his head tutting. “I said always be on guard. Expect surprise attacks and it won't surprise you when it comes.”“I know. I'm sorry” I said. “Let's work on your blocking. I'm going to throw a few punches and I want you to block them. remember to keep your guard up always and do not leave any opening” he instructed.He threw a series of punches my way and I worked on blocking them. He observed my form and made occasional adjustments to maintain my balance.We continued for a few more min
