95.

-HER-

My eyes found Alres’ silver ones first. A shiver ran down my spine instantly because the look that was decorating his face was quite lethal in itself.

I instantly looked away and found the vibrant blue eyes of the queen of wolves. She had a cold look decorating her face but she seemed much more welcoming than Arles.

“Glad to see you all back in one piece,” Arles spoke as his eyes lingered on me. He didn’t seem glad to see me at all and neither was I.

“Thanks for you help,” Ares spoke above me for the first time. The sarcastic tone in his voice didn’t go unnoticed by me. It was odd to me. I didn’t know what to make it.

The air in the room was thick with tension. They didn’t seem happy with each other.

“I am-“

“It’s quite late now. I think you all should go and rest. We will talk tomorrow,” Nefret interfered when Arles was about to speak further.

“That sounds great,” Celeste spoke to diffuse the tension as she stepped forward while I heard Ares’ brother mutter something under his breath along the line that he might have broken a rib or two.

Meanwhile, I still remained in Ares’ arm, making the situation a bit awkward. I tried to nudge him and motion him to put me down but he didn’t. Although I was aware of his tight hold on me. The emotions that I was feeling through the bond wasn’t making the situation easier for me.

Without saying much, Ares walked out of the room and walked through the similar corridors that the ruins had. The only difference being that these stone-built corridors were clean and well lit.

“You can put me down, Ares,” I tried to talk to him when we were alone but again, he was mostly unresponsive to me. He looked ahead and that same urgency was on his face again. It was as if he wanted to get somewhere urgently.

I could feel his wolf pacing inside him too. His hands felt like steel around me and I didn’t miss how his jaw was clenched. The silver from his eyes was slowly disappearing, making me grow tense. I didn’t know what happened to him but it was slowly starting to scare me.

“Ares?” I tried to talk to him again but he just wouldn’t listen to me. He took a sharp turn before we were standing in front of a huge door with a lot of patterns on it. It was the only time he put me down to work on those arrangements.

It soon made sense to me that behind that door was his wing. As soon as he was done arranging the patterns on the door, he was about to scope me again but I stepped back a bit.

“I have legs,” I informed him.

At this, he finally looked at me and I almost gasped to find his eyes have turned pitch black. There was this feral and hungry look on his face that had triggered the flight or fight response in me but at the same time, somehow made me needier.

“My Pharaoh,” He gritted as he stepped closer to me. His voice sounded so deep and guttural. It had my heart racing and my stomach churning. The tension in the grew even more as the door slowly opened for us.

He took another step closer to me before he wrapped his fingers tightly around my wrist and tugged me to the other side of the door before it sealed shut behind us, sealing the two of us in together.

In the next moment, he was crashing his lips on mine to give me the most intense kiss that we had ever had. I was mostly taken by surprise at the way I was being kissed but slowly I gave in as he pressed his body against mine and deepened the kiss.

My bottom lip was being sucked roughly before he slightly nibbled on it. I couldn’t help but moan at the strong sparks that emanated from the kiss and travelled throughout the rest of my body. I had never felt them so intensely before, making me wonder if it was his wolf who was making this happen.

As our tongues engaged in wars, the fierceness of the kiss increased because he was dominating all of a sudden. It was as if he wanted to devour me all at once. The sparks slowly grew so strong that it almost felt like they were going set fire to us.

At one point, I had to push him back slightly to just to catch up on my breath. My heart was very loudly pounding in my chest but it didn’t seem like he was done yet because I heard him make a noise which sounded similar to groaning before he was picking me up again and taking me deeper into his residential wing.

“My Pharaoh,” He grumbled as his eyes looked down at me possessively, making me quiver, “I’ll not let anyone take you away from me anymore,” He grumbled before he was kicking open a door and carrying me inside it.

Before I could look at the room, I was being placed on a soft surface which I realize was a bed. He very quickly detached all the belts and weapons from his gear before crushing his lips against mine again.

I kissed him back completely this time. After being able to see him after so many days, his possessiveness was turning me on. He didn’t need to use his words to tell me how much he had missed me while I was gone. The way he was kissing screamed the truth already. If anything, that made me feel needier and needier.

For a moment, he abandoned my lips before finding the mark on my neck.

“We will never part again! You’re mine!” He growled again before biting on my mark again. I moaned his name out loud as he sunk his canines deeper into my skin. My body was reacting to him very intensely because of the way my core throbbed, it felt like I was going into heat again.

I wanted him so badly at that moment.

"I am all yours," I told him before I was being devoured by his beast.
