Isabel suddenly turned to Ares and hugged him.
“I'm sorry but you know how awfully jealous I become because of you, Ares. I love you so much and I hate the fact that you treat this slave better than you do to me so I wanted her gone and I still want her gone" Ares sighed as he removed Isabel's arms from around him.
“Isabel, you of all people should know how much I hate it when others touch what belongs to mine and you tried to have my slave killed?" She shook her head frantically.
“No…. At least, not at first. I had asked the man to sell her off to the Lycans but when I found out you were looking for her I got more angry and…." Ares grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up as his eyes instantly turned red.

Cornelius and Myla stared at him in shock.
“You have been getting on my nerves recently and I'm starting to loose it with you. One more slip off and not only will our marriage be off but our kingdom will go against yours and surely, you don't think you'll win" He threw her to the floor then walked away.
Isabel rubbed her hand on her throat and she coughed then she turned to Myla with furious eyes. How dare Ares disgrace her like this because of a slave? She was going to make her life miserable here for as long as she lived. Even though her plan failed now, she had others up her sleeve.
“Myla, Come!" Myla snapped out of her trance immediately followed behind Ares.
“Why?" Ares paused then turned to Myla.

“Why what?" She raised up her head to look him in the eye.
“Why are you doing all this for me? You almost hurt your fiance because of me" Ares tilted his head at her.
“Do not feel special Myla because you'll only be fooling yourself. This is how I am to my properties and you are one of them" Myla paused her lips.
“I don't believe you" He stared at her for a while then flashed her an amused.

“Then tell me, Little slave. Why do you think I treat you that way?" She stared at him and said nothing. Well what was she supposed to say? That he liked her?
He chuckled when she didn't answer him and turned away.
“Listen Myla. Do not overthink my actions because it means nothing. Maybe it may seem like something to you but it really isn't to me. In as much as I want to have you in my bed with your clothes off, I am your master and you're my slave. Other than that, do not expect any other kind of relationship…. For your own good" Myla frowned. So she was over thinking then? But why didn't it feel like it?
They both walked back to his room in silence as Myla cursed herself in her head for asking him such a question. Not only had it denied it out flat but he had also hurt her ego. She scoffed inwardly. If he weren't for the mission, their status weren't so far apart.
She was going to be the leader of her clan and he was the leader of the werewolves so…..
Her eyes widened. Why was she thinking about them being compatible? She shook her head. She needed to speak to Noah and Luane now so they could speak some sense into her.
“Erm…. Ares?" She said as they stood in front of his room door. He turned to her with a raised eyebrow.
“What is it?" She scratched the back of her neck nervously.
“I was wondering if you'd let me to check up on my uncle. I promise nothing will happen to me and I'll be back soon" He was about to say no when he remembered what she'd said earlier. If he was really treating her different then he needed to stop so he nodded.
“Sure" Then he walked into his room and closed the door behind him. Myla smiled happily and hurriedly ran out off the castle and into the forest at the back of it.
It was much brighter and didn't looked as scary and confusing as it did the day she went missing. She shook off the thought and looked around for Luane and Noah.
Sure enough, she was able to spot them in the shadows of the forest. She ran up to them and slapped both their heads from behind.
“Ouch! What was that for? Jeez, you have always been so stealth on your feet" Myla narrowed her eyes at them.
“I know you guys saw when that man tried to kill me so why didn't you help?" Noah grabbed her hand.
“I wanted to but Luane said we needed to let that Demon guy help you" Myla furrowed her eyebrows then turned to Luane.

“Why?" Luane sighed.

“You said you wanted to get closer to him, right? Him saving you was going to make him get closer to you" Myla frowned as she dropped Noah's hand.

“No it didn't. He just told me I should get out of my imagination. He sees me as a property, nothing else" Noah clenched his jaw.
“I say we kill him now that we have the chance" Luane rolled her eyes.
“I know Myla is always slow when it comes to this but Noah, you were with me and you saw the way Ares almost went crazy looking for Myla" Myla's eyes widened.
“What?"
“We watched as he turned into his wolf and tore those men into shreds in just a blink of an eye. We could see that it was very hard for him to control himself because of the way he was raging. Noah and I were even about to jump in but then you fainted and it was like his senses returned. He changed back into the his human form and carried you himself back to the castle" Myla's eyes widened.
“So does this mean I've gained his trust?" Luane glanced at Noah who had a frown on his face before turning back to Myla.

“Not necessarily but it does mean he has some kind of feelings for you which you could use to your advantage" This was something Myla had thought about earlier when she thought Ares had some kind of feelings for her but hearing that even Luane noticed that Area had some feelings for her made her heart…. flutter?....
