The Last White Wolf
Chapter 7

Ares POV

After saying goodnight to Thalia, I started to make my way towards my bedroom. “Ares, meeting in your office now!” my mother mid linked me, sounding even more irritable. With a deep sigh, I went downstairs to my office. My whole family was present for the ‘meeting’ my mother just called.

My mother was standing by the window staring out into the forest. My father and sister were sitting silently on the chairs in front of my desk like naughty children and my Apollo was lounging on my couch playing with his phone, as usual.

“What is this about?” I asked closing the door. My mother turned around and gave me a deadly stare. “Your mother apparently has some sort of issue with your mate.” my father disclosed. My wolf snarled at her, the thought of her trying to prevent us from mating, aggravated my wolf and it took all of me to hold him back.

“She is not a werewolf. She is human! You should be mating with a powerful wolf, not a pathetic human girl! I will not allow this” she scolded, “And you know that there are already arrangements made for you to mate with Madeline. It will be disgraceful to inform them now that you have changed your mind. It’s an insult to this family and an embarrassment to our pack!” my mother shouted.

Madeline is an Alpha’s daughter from a small pack called the Blood Moon Pack. We have met a few times. She is a beautiful woman, nice body, blonde, blue eyes and big boobs. But honestly, I have nothing in common with her. She is also very spoiled and full of herself. And I don’t believe in the chosen mate thing, I think someone should first try to search for your true mate before settling for a chosen mate. The Luna has given us true mates for a reason. My mother, on the other hand, does not believe in true mates. She chose to mate with my father and my father was forced by his father to mate with her. My father has a true mate, but she was banished from our pack a long time ago.

“I never agreed on being mated to Madeline! I did tell you that I’m not interested in having a ‘chosen mate’, that I will rather wait and search for my true mate! And I don’t need your permission to mate with Thalia!” my mother’s face turned red with anger and her wolf came forward, disliking the disrespect.

“Excuse me!? I am your mother and your Luna of this pack! You will not speak to me like that!” my mother shouted even loader. My wolf came completely forward “AND I AM YOU ALPHA! YOU ARE THE FORMER LUNA OF THIS PACK! YOU WILL NOT DISRESPECT ME!” me/my wolf shouted at her. No one has ever spoken to her like this before.

My father got up from his chair, fixing his buttons on his suit jacket. “I think this has gone far enough. Aphrodite, I think you should retire to bed. I would like to speak with our children.” my father suggested. Without a word my mother left my office, slamming the door on her way out.

Everyone was quiet, even Apollo, not sure what our father is going to say or do. “Wow, I can’t believe you actually stood up to our mother!” Athena broke the silence. “Athena!” father grumbled “now is not the time.” “Sorry father, but it’s true. I think it is about time Ares stood for himself. She is ruling this pack like she is the Alpha, and she is not. She has never been an Alpha to start with.” Athena mentioned. “I know Athena. But we are not discussing your mother at this moment. This is about your brothers’ mate.” Father said with his stern voice.

“What about my mate father?” I asked, intrigued by what he has to say about Thalia. “I do not have a problem with Thalia. I think she is a lovely lady.” he continued “But she is, however, a human. There is much to take into consideration. I have never heard of a human mating with a werewolf, an Alpha in that matter. You are either born with the gene or not.” father explained. I sat back into my leather desk chair, letting out a deep sigh. It is not like I haven’t thought about it. It is something I don’t understand. I don’t know why the Luna gave me a human as a mate. But the feelings I had for Thalia was pure and true, I cannot deny it. I love her.

“This matter is better discussed in private,” I told my father through our mind link. “Yes, I agree” father replied.

Apollo stood up from the couch and stretched himself out lazily “Well this was an interesting night. Our big bad Alpha got a puny little human girl as a mate” he smirked while yawning, he turned and walked out of my office. I ignored him, not willing to give him the satisfaction of reacting to his inappropriate behaviour.

“Ares,” Athena breathed “I know my opinion is never needed by some people, but please know that I will respect your decision in mating with Thalia. I like her, even if she smells different from other humans.” “Thank you, little sister. I appreciate it.” I admitted. We have always been close, even if it doesn’t look like it. Our mother has always tried to turn us against each other, but Athena and I always managed to have a good and strong relationship. Apollo, on the other hand, he is a mommy’s little boy.

Athena got up and gave my father a kiss on his cheek “Goodnight father, good night brother” she greeted and walked out of my office, closing the door on her way out.

Thalia’s POV

I was brushing out my hair when there was a light knock at the door. “Come in” I called out. “Good morning beautiful!” Ares greeted me cheerfully. “Good morning handsome” instantly regretting my corny greeting. He chuckled and pulled me into a tight hug, kissing me hard.

“Did you sleep well?” he asked, “Yes and you?” I answered truthfully, “Yes, I just missed you άγγελος (angel)” he continued “Are you ready for today?” “Yes, can’t wait!” I giggled.

We had a nice breakfast by the pool, this house was more like a castle on a cliff overlooking the forest and mountains. It’s absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. It looked ancient, and the walls were made with stone and big wooden windows. Forest trees surrounded the house with small and big water fountains and Greek statues.

We walked through the forest passing small streams and fountains. Today has truly been amazing. Ares gently placed his hand in mine, the tingles making me shiver with pleasure. We stopped in front of a big fountain. Ares turned towards me kissing me softly, taking my breath away. He pulled me closer into him, my skin is tingling with electricity, leaving me feeling dizzy and woozy.

I am clinging on to him, scared my legs will give in under me if I let him go. Ares pulled me upright, chuckling at me, “Are you all right ο άγγελός μου (my angel)?” Ares breathed out heavily. I gave him a nod. I stared into his now dark, almost black eyes, filled with lust, I am feeling a bit lost in them.

“Ares?” I murmured “Yes ο άγγελός μου (my angel)?” he whispered while kissing my neck, “Please tell me more about the ‘mate thing’?” I asked curiously, Ares’ face lit up with excitement he took my hand and we sat down on a bench in front of the fountain.

“Well, as I explained before, a mate is like your soulmate. When a werewolf replaces their true mate, you smell this amazing scent that only comes from your mate. And when your eyes meet, you just know you two are meant to be. I knew the second I smelled you that you were my mate, and when our eyes connected, I was positive. Plus, your wolf goes nuts in your head. Xylán wouldn’t shut up. He kept screaming ‘Mate’ over and over again. It was pretty obvious you were mine.” he continued “Normally after you have met your mate, you will then proceed with the mating rituals by marking your mate and mating with each other.” he explained, stroking his long fingers over my neck.

“Mating meaning sex?” I asked, I looked down, feeling my cheeks glowing red with embarrassment. Ares lifted my chin up, turning my face towards him. “Yes, no need to feel shy άγγελος (angel), it perfectly natural” he said while taking my hand and kissing it. I giggled at him.

“What does marking mean?” I asked feeling even more awkward for my red tomato face and for having to ask him all these questions. Ares chuckled again “Marking is the way wolves stake their claim on their mates. A male wolf marks his mate by biting her neck.” he said while tracing his long fingers from my neck onto my shoulder, sending shivers through my spine. “Their scents will then slightly mix, and it wards off other males letting them know that the female is taken. And the bigger the mark, the higher-ranking male. The alpha’s mark is the largest, and other males tend to steer clear of an Alpha’s mate for fearing they’d be murdered for going near her. Which they would. Female wolves of higher ranks can also mark their mates.” Ares explained.

“My father has a book about the origin and rules of werewolves. If you want, I can give it to you to read?” he asked “Thank you. It’s probably in Greek isn’t it?” I giggled, Ares sat back rubbing his head, “Yeah, it is” he laughed “I can help you translate it?” he suggested “I see your plan. You only want to spend more time with me.” he took my hand again and kissed me tenderly “I never want to leave your side. When we get back to the pack house, we can start...” he got silent and his eyes glazed over.

“I’m sorry άγγελος (angel)” he continued “I have some urgent matters to attend to quickly, I will be right back. Do you mind waiting for me here?” he asked, “Not at all.” I said and he pulled me in towards him, kissing me tenderly. “I promise, I will be right back,” he said. Ares stood up from the bench and started to remove his clothes. I felt how my cheeks are turning red again. I swear red is going to be my natural colour from now on. Ares folded his clothes neatly and placed it on the bench. He gave me a cheeky smirk. The butterflies in my stomach started to flutter again. “You are not used to seeing naked men, are you?” he said laughing a bit, “No I’m not” I shrieked while looking up into the sky, my cheeks feel like they are glowing red hot.

Ares kneeled in front of me, placing his hands on my cheeks while I still looked up into the sky, “Look at me.” he ordered calmly. I breathed in deeply turning my eyes into his now darkening eyes. My heart started to race when he gently began to stroke my cheek with his thumb. “You’re still a virgin.” he stated “Yes...” I confessed. Ares kissed me and smiled “So am I...” he stood up and started to change into his beautiful wolf. He licked my hand and took off into the forest, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

Ares still a virgin I thought to myself. It felt kind of impossible, I mean a man looking like he does must have woman throwing them self at him constantly. Don’t think he would be lying about something like that, what is the use of lying about being a virgin...

***

I sat at the fountain what felt like forever, thinking about Ares and everything. I heard movement from where Ares has left. Out of the tree line, his wolf appeared. While he was approaching me, he changed into his naked human form. Ares pulled up from where I was seated into his arms and kissing me deeply. But it felt different…

Ares pulled away from my ears and licked my ear, making me shiver. “Did you miss me babe?” he teased, holding me tight in his arms while he kissed me down my neck. This is feeling wrong... something is not right... this... this is NOT Ares! I looked into his eyes; they were darker, bluer than Ares’ eyes.

“Who are? You’re not Ares?” I pleaded while his grip tightened around me.
