GAIA POV
Ares came out easy going than I expected him to be. He answered my questions patiently, making sure I understood without flipping on me. However, he did not answer some of my questions since he told me he’d leave them to my imagination and guess. The suspense killed me the most. After what felt like forever, the jet landed on a private port. Two black SUVs were already waiting for our arrival. As soon as we got off the plane, two wolves came to greet us. They firstly greeted Ares before bowing in front of me and uttering:
“Lupa Gaia!”
I tried to ask Ares what Lupa meant but to my rotten luck, he told me I will soon find out. We got onto the big cars and quickly left the port. At one point along the ride, I remembered that I actually did not own even a single piece of clothing. I turned to Ares;
“You are aware that I only have these clothes that I’m wearing? If you could call it clothes!” I asked referring to my thin clothes. I was still in my short silk night pants and a camisole. Whoever abducted me was kind enough to pick a pair of Vans sneakers and a hoodie. And that was it!
“Everything you need is already arranged for you at the pack house Lupa!” he replied softly. Although his answers were short and straight forward, he really wasn’t a bad guy. Just that he wasn’t the one to talk a lot. And well me being me, I had what you can call Verbal diarrhea. I always felt the need to talk and once I started, there was no stopping. I knew that I had a very fair share of sense of humor and that people relaxed around me. But really, trying to start a conversation with Ares was like drawing water with a sieve and well, I was going to bother to try.
I gave him a small nod and looked out the window. We drove on a very smooth tar road that lined the cliff. Below was the blue ocean and the sun was just making its way to the horizon. There were numerous yatches in the ocean and apart from that, there was really nothing interesting to gaze at. I automatically searched my pockets for my phone but only to come out empty handed. A ping of sadness stabbed me as I realized the only thing that was going to connect me with my people was actually left behind. A thought of using social media to talk to them crossed my mind and I came down instantly.
I was surprisingly calm, provided that I did not even know where we were headed to. The car just continued to drive, with the other one tailing not too far behind. I closed my eyes in attempt to sleep and luckily, sleep came fast since I was tired. I rested my head against the head rest and caught some zs.

“Lupa Gaia!” someone called me softly and I quickly opened my eyes. It was Ares who was patiently waiting for me with the door open just beside me. I wiped the drool that escaped and rubbed my eyes.
“We’ve arrived!” he announced. Silvanus stood with alertness as I got out of the car and scanned my new surroundings. The pack house was enormous, bigger than I thought it would. And it was livelier than I expected. In my imagination, I saw a creepy old dark castle with bats flying around. But surprisingly, it was good looking and majestic. I turned to look behind me to find a gigantic black iron gate. The fencing walls were so high that I actually had to look up to them. There were a few wolves passing by throwing curious glances my way. I didn’t blame them.
“This way please!” Ares ushered me into the pack house followed by two werewolves that welcomed us at the port. The interior was astonishing. I gasped as I took in the surrounding. The ceiling was so high and painted in magnificent pictures that gave a feeling of watching a movie. Right ahead were four stair cases. The other two were ascending while the others spiraled downwards. Ares once again stood patiently next to me as I took my time filling in the place. After what felt like an eternity of ‘ooohs’ and ‘aahs’ and awe, I composed myself and followed him up the stairs.
We climbed 4 floors before paddling down a dimly lit hallway. At the end of the hallway, we turned to our left side and stopped in front of two huge doors. He pushed them open and stepped aside, then signaled me to get inside. I stood for a moment trying to decipher what he was doing but he just stood there too, waiting for me to enter. I went through the doors into a neat and stylish bedroom.
It was even more big and beautiful than my previous one back in Jukon pack. I slowly walked around the room taking everything in. a king sized bed settled majestically in the middle of the room. It had four ceiling length posters and veils tied neatly to the posts. The quilt covering it was white and gold. Right in front of the bed was a big ottoman, with the same color of the bed. On the wall behind the bed was a big canvas with what looked like roman carvings on it. It was a beautiful dark masterpiece that gave me a feeling of walking in the lion's den. A lounge suite took the right side of the room with a huge flat tv mounted to the wall. On the left side was a door which I assumed to be a walk-in closet. I slowly walked towards it and pushed the door open, then flicked the switch on to reveal a big room filled with clothes, shoes and accessory. It was so big that an actual bedroom would fit in. I walked into it and touched the soft material of the clothes. I got out and switched off the lights. I caught a glimpse of another door and went through it. It was a bathroom with marble black sink and a big mirror marring the wall. The wall on the right was covered with black glittery tiles and 6 shower heads. There was no shielding class to indicate that that place was a shower but I died a little. On the left side was a circular black tub. I walked towards it and grazed my fingers on it. It was smooth under my touch. Out of the blue, the room filled with a scent of rain forest and musk. Silvanus went crazy as the scent became too strong to handle. I tried to ignore it thinking that it was some sort of an air freshener used and that I didn’t sense it when I came in because I was busy being awestruck. Silvanus threatened to jump out but I calmed her. she howled.
‘Easy girl. Easy!' the scent grew even more intoxicating. it felt like it was calling for me, summoning me.
I walked out to go ask Ares if the room belonged to me but slammed into a stone hard chest. I took a step and looked up then froze. A gasp escaped my lips as I stared into the red eyes that I’ve been fantasizing about since my birthday. A very proud smirk decorated his perfect face and his hair was tied in a small pony. Silvanus went even more crazy and growled;
‘Mate!’
I furrowed my brows before slowly muttering;
“Dyaus.”
ZEUS POV
A mixture of rose, citrus and gardenia! Her scent was intoxicating. My wolf growled threatening to jump her bones but I took a really good reign on him. He howled;
‘Mate!’ and just like that, her wolf mind-linked mine. We stood over there with our eyes locked, none of us moving, just talking through our eyes. After a good moment, she broke whatever that was happening and took long hurried strides to the couches.
“H-how? What? But Zeus...You...” she shook her head furiously trying to make sense of what was happening. She closed her eyes and took slow deep breathes, composing herself.
“I heard my mate is Zeus. Alpha Zeus. How come my wolf recognized you as our mate? But mostly, what are you doing here.” she asked with furrowed brows. She looked so beautiful with her unruly platinum hair. But what I found even more beautiful was how confused she was! Her wolf was still trying to come out to meet its mate, but she also had a strong control over it. All along I kept silent, calm. But all I wanted to do was to just rip her clothes off her and claim her while burying myself deep inside her and f*****g her brains out. My wolf was happy for more reasons than one. He hated that I slept around. But he hated every possible guts of Dalina than anyone else. And Dalina was the easiest side piece. But now we had our own mate.
We stayed silent for a few minutes. Our hearts picking up their pace by each passing minute. The mate bond was strong; we couldn’t fight it any longer. Soon, we were going to rip each other’s clothes and have our way with each other’s body. But the waiting was totally worth what came next. Slowly yet so careful, she raised her head and met my gaze, before parting her lips. Realization hit her. Her eyes grew dilated and my wolf felt hers howling. She whispered;
“You are Zeus!” it was not a question but a statement. She let out a bitter laugh before getting on her feet and running her hand through her hair. I waited patiently for her to calm down.
“Hello kitten!” I called in a low scruffy voice.
“You lied. You came to me on the night of my coronation. And you…. You... you lied. Why didn’t I feel the mate bond then? Why didn’t you tell me your real name instead of lying?” she accused with her hands at her waist. She was a feisty little kitten that I wanted to throw over the bed and listen to her mewls while I hovered above her.
“I didn’t lie. At all.” I replied.
“But you did. You said your name is Dyaus!” she pointed out. How cute!
“I did not lie. Zeus is the name of my wolf. And Dyaus is me. The vampire!” my words had her dropping her hands from her waist.
“Zeus is your wolf? The wolf side of you? And Dyaus is another you but in vampire form?” she questioned. Before I could reply she talked again.
“That night in the glass house, you hid your wolf side right? That is why I couldn’t feel the mate bond?” she asked with brows furrowed. I just shrugged in response. That was something she will soon find about, just not yet. She paced up and down with a hand clumped on her forehead. She laughed slowly before cursing.
“Ah f**k! How can I be so stupid?” she stopped pacing and looked at me. Her iris dilated. The tension in the air thickened. Her body melted under my strong gaze and I felt my eyes changing, from red to gold. My wolf taking over.
She took one step to my direction and stopped. That was the only invitation I need. In a speed of light, I had her pinned against the wall with my lips on hers. We kissed hard, our lips fighting for dominance. My wolf sighed in satisfaction for finally having the sweet taste of our glorious mate. She moaned into my mouth, causing me to growl very loudly.
I took hold of her tiny wrists and pinned them above her head, then pushed her shorts down her legs with my free hand. I growled when I touched her bare dripping core. I let out another growl to the realization that she was not wearing any panties. A surge of possessiveness washed over me from the thought that Ares saw her that way. But that didn’t matter because I had her all to myself. She was mine. With that, I growled;
“Mine. So f*****g mine!” she gasped into my mouth. I broke the kiss and trailed my tongue alone her neck. I wanted to sink my fangs in her plump neck and mark her, the temptation was too hard to resist. For the first time in my life, I felt defenseless. I just wanted to have her. All of her. But I knew she wasn't ready. Not yet. She let out a soft moan, her body shuddering into mine. I pushed one finger inside her heated core. She let out a loud cry of pleasure and rocked on my hand. I pushed the second finger, causing her walls to clump tight around me. I moved my fingers in and out of her fast. My pace quickened with every passing second. Her moans grew even more louder, and I knew she was close. My pace became furious, vigorous as I f****d her harder with my fingers, tipping her over the edge. She let out a loud cry as she came hard on my fingers. I rubbed her clit to lengthen her orgasm.
Once our breathing labored, I gave her a soft open mouthed kiss and against her lips, I whispered;
“Welcome home my Lupa!”
