Myla turned to Luane and Noah then grabbed their hands.
“Don't worry, we'll be out of here soon" They smiled at me and nodded.
“Just lead him on till you can finally stab him in the back" Luane advised.
“Don't worry about…."
“Myla?" She froze as soon as she heard Cornelius Voice behind her. She slowly turned and saw him walking towards her with a confused look on his face. She turned back around and heaved a sigh of relief when she didn't see Luane or Noah then she turned back to Cornelius.
“What are you doing here?" Cornelius raised an eyebrow at her.
“I should be asking you that. Ares asked me to come look for you and that you were going to meet your uncle. So why are you here?" Myla scratched the back of her head as she thought of a lie. She had never really been good at lying but she hoped she would be able to convince him.
“Erm… I came looking for my…. My hair pin… yeah my hair pin. I seem to have dropped it somewhere here and it's very important to me so I have to find it" He narrowed his eyes like he didn't believe her but later nodded.
“Oh, Ares found a hair pin yesterday when we went looking for you. Come on, it's time for lunch" Myla nodded. She searched around for Luane and Noah and nodded approvingly when she didn't see them before she followed behind Cornelius.

Ares walked into the dinning room and was content with sight in front of him being only Lucas and his slave.
“Where is everyone?" Ares questioned as he walked over to his seat.
“They are either running late or busy. Why are you looking for them anyway? Aren't I good company?" Ares rolled his eyes.
“I'd rather be alone" Lucas pouted then suddenly stood up from his seat and walked over to Ares.

“Ares, we used to be so close when we were younger. What happened? You know what? I don't want you to answer that. Why don't you make it up to me?" Ares raised an eyebrow. Why did Lucas have to talk so much?
“Why do I have to make it up to you?" Lucas grinned.
“Because you have been so mean to me lately. How can you be so mean to your brother?"
“You are not my brother," Lucas frowned.
“Of course I am. We may not be related by blood but we are still brothers and you can't deny that" Ares didn't have anything to say to that so he just kept quiet. Lucas grabbed his hand with a pout.
“Oh please!! Ares! Say how can I make it up to you?"
“Do you want me to break your arm?" Lucas slowly removed his hand from his seat then cleared his throat.
“Pretty please" Ares sighed. This boy was never going to leave him alone, was he?
“If it's anything stupid, I'm not doing it" Lucas grinned as he clapped excitedly which made Ares give him odd looks.

“You do know you are twenty, right?" Ares questioned. Lucas laughed.
“Of course but please don't remind me, I'm reminded everyday by my father and brothers. Anyways, I was thinking we should attend the festival coming up" Ares furrowed his eyebrows.
“I'm the Alpha king, I was going to attend before this request" Lucas nodded.

“Yeah I know that but what I mean is that you and I go but not as the king and prince but as normal Noble men" Ares immediately shook his head.
“That's preposterous. I'm not doing it" Lucas pouted and was about to say something when Myla and Cornelius walked into the room.
“I've brought her, Alpha king" Ares nodded then turned to Myla.
“Come take a seat, the food will soon be served" Myla nodded then slowly walked over to where he was seated.
“Just sit down on a chair, Little slave" Ares said before she could pull out her slave chair from under the table. She turned to him with wide eyes but nodded and sat down on the seat beside him.
“Oh please, Ares. It's only for that night and plus, since our slaves seem to be friends, they can both come with us" Myla raised an eyebrow at Lucas then turned to glanced at Melody who just smiled at her.
“Lucas, what is it going to take for you to shut up so I can have peace of mind?" Lucas smiled.

“Just say yes to me. You are always so uptight, you can let loose at the festival because no one would know it's you" Myla's eyes brightened. A festival? She remembered celebrating those back at her own realm and it was always so much fun. Was it the same in the werewolf realm?
“Lucas, I don't need to let loose. I'm good as I am" Lucas scoffed.
“Yeah keep telling yourself that" Ares tilted his head at him.
“You are starting to get on my nerves" Lucas chuckled nervously.
“I'm sorry," Area sighed.
“I'll think about it so just leave me alone. You have given me a headache now" Lucas grinned happily as he skipped back to his chair.
Just then, the maids came in and placed all the food on the table. Myla turned to stare at Ares as he placed some food on her plate for her.
“Eat up because we might not be eating tonight" He muttered then went back to his food. Myla couldn't help but feel jittery inside. She nodded and began eating her food.

Lucas glanced at both of them then turned to melody.
“Since my big brother is letting his slave sit at the table, then you can too. Right, Ares?" Ares glanced at him then gave a subtle nod before turning back to his food.
Lucas helped Melody up from the ground and placed a plate in front of her.
“You can take anything you want, alright?" Melody smiled then nodded. She turned to Myla like she was seeking approval which made Myla confused but she nevertheless nodded.
After they all began eating, Myla turned to see Cornelius standing beside Ares. She was about to say something when Leo bursted inside the room. He looked flabbergasted by the fact that two slaves were sitting at the family table and also looked disgusted at the sight of everyone.
He grudgingly bowed his head at Ares then turned to Lucas.
“Father wants to speak with you, now!" Lucas' face immediately turned white. He nodded stiffly and immediately stood up from his seat.
“Let's go, Melody" They all noticed how his voice sounded awfully fearful and it was beginning to bother Ares.
“Follow them and report back everything you see" Ares said to Cornelius after they had gone and Cornelius immediately nodded before walking out of the room.
Myla turned to Ares with a smile.
“You care about Lucas, don't you?" Ares turned to her then sighed.
“He is the only one I consider family here…. He is my brother and it's my duty to protect him" Myla hand went to her heart as it suddenly began to thump. What was going on?....
