---AVALON POV---
This war will never come to end. There is no end near.
The Warewolves, warlocks, witches, Lycans, vampires, and creatures of different breeds has been coexisting for centuries and Asmodeus was not going to be the one to break their coexistence.
They do not just want to agree on that.
It was Ares' last straw of powers and my own divine powers that helped portal us back to earth.
It was not an easy task.
It usually takes hours before a pentagram can be drawn by warlocks and witches. But then we had both drew it within munites with both our powers.
I and Ares made a very great team in making the journey back to Earth successfully.
I had missed the sunlight, the beauty of the earth. His palace-our palace.
The refreshing breath of the earth. It makes me want to cry.
Ares notices but didn't comment.
He allows me do my thing.
"I am sorry". He suddenly says.
I act like I didn't hear him.
What was he apologizing for again. He has always been the one apologizing whenever I make a big deal out of nothing.
"Did you hear me?". He demands softly his hand snakes around my waist.
The smile that i give him when he kisses his mark on my shoulder is refreshing.
And it makes me feel relieved.
"Yes".
I answer softly. I have been waiting for the day he would tell me he wants me. Because I was taught back in my village that when a warewolf marks his mate, they become possessive and wants to complete the bond.
What surprises me is that Ares did not even comment about his mark.
Rather I always caught him staring too long at his mark.
"What are you saying?. Yes, what?. Yes I am forgiven?. Yes you want me consent to calling of my marking on your neck?. Too much thoughts in your head my love. Which one to go for I don't know!". He says turning me to him and I could feel a shiver ran down my spine when he pouts.
His lips alluring. This man was a sin to human kind.
His beauty, godly. Not accepted to me. Men are not allowed to have lashes like his. But he does, his lashes are rather longer than mine.
It makes me jealous of him.
Especially his lips.
"Yes. Only if you get back to your duties and we both get this demon out of our ways and make sure that whatever happens after we want to face our demon we put our lights together right back. One thing, we are in a more greater trouble than the demon chasing us. I utilized my powers remember?. I am not suppose to. What if something happens to me?. Ares what if the prophecy-".
I rant worriedly not yet answering his question.
"I know, we can continue this talk tomorrow when we take over the kingdom that is ours and we can speak about our problems. But for now let's get busy gazing at the stars and enjoy the beauty of the sky. Haven't you missed the beauty of the sky?. And I can see you are avoiding my questions." He says, cocking his head to the left to scrutinize me.
I felt a slight headache, he was trying to get inside my head to find out my answer but I am not allowing him.
"Well, get the hell out of my head your majesty, if you really want your answers. You do not get to cheat". I snapped.
He pouts and placed his hand on his chest trying to say he hurts so bad and that he is pained.
I chuckled loudly.
"Tell me" he growled. I could feel his presence out my head.
"Well, I forgive you. And you are not completing the bond why?. I thought every Warewolves can not survive the pain of marking their mates and then not completing the bond especially when they are separated for long. I was taken away from you by Asmodeus for like a month?. And you haven't gone crazy?". I tease him.
"No not like that. I cracked. Everything I did felt like I was doing it with a blindfold. I lost everything. Energy, power, strength, rulership. And what not. I almost lost myself to my insanity. I had searched the earth for you I couldn't find you. I was beaten down. Now I can't cry when life beats me down. Cause no one cares about my broken heart". He explains reminiscing about his days without me.
I felt those things too. But I am pretty sure it wasn't has though must have felt.
When I was in EDOMEI. I felt the pull, the bond we share through the mark on my neck.
"I am sorry". I muttered silently.
I just want be to next him.
But I couldn't. We were far, too far from one another it hurts.
"Still in your head little flower".
His voice boomed from behind me.
"Little flower?". I sqweal at the new nickname me gave me.
"Yeah?. Don't like it?". He asks smirking.
"I do". I muttered.
"I know you would. Thanks for forgiving me. I don't know, I really want us to not think of our problems tonight. Tomorrow comes our problem to deal with." He says his voice in a monotone.
He didn't offend me from him to ask for my forgiveness. He didn't have to be sorry.
He must have read my mind because he says.
"I have to. I walked away on us. We had to argue, I ran away like a coward leaving you to overthink. And for that I apologize". He says carefully choosing his words.
His fingers on my belly isn't doing a good job.
I am feeling my toes curling.
"May I?". He asks. Demanding my consent to kiss me. And his own mark, he has been staring at it all day. I could not help but succumb to his gaze.
If there is one thing I admire about Ares Elijah Mickelson, is that he does not force me in to doing things.
He always ask my consent before he does things.
Which shows his respect for me.
Did I just say I admire him?.
Oh this man will be the death of me.
My cheeks flush as he brushes his lips with mine.
He begins to torture me with kisses and begins to explore my mouth. We are moving in sync.
His body against mine.
This night his kisses are different.
He is passionate, rough, demanding and I could feel how much he wants me.
And I want him to. But I am not giving him the pleasure of it. I am not going to give in first.
I am not going to allow his over egoistical self think he can make me weak. Never!..
"What are doing Ares?. Getting attached to me?." I tease. He rolls his eyes. Those green eyes.
My best color.
I had once hated that color because it was those eyes that murdered my sister and mother.
But I find my self falling into those captivating forest green eyes.
"In two weeks I bet you we will be completing our bond". He challenges.
Oh it's a challenge he seeks, then I am in for it.
"Is that a bet?. I don't fall for your charms" I lied through my teeth.
He chuckled sarcastically. He knew me too well. I am always drooling over his heavenly body.
I liked to see him, his well tonned muscles, his oh so attention demanding body.
I scoffed in jealousy. Folding my arms on my chest.
""Want to bet?". He cocked his head trying to figure out what I was thinking about. I had blocked him off completely.
"Then a bet it is."I consent to his challenge.
I have been away for a while now. But I am back y'all.
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
