Chapter 40
Gina, overwhelmed by an intense sense of shame, made a superhuman effort to look away from that she-wolf, whose body was completely naked. His feet seemed rooted in the ground and he didn’t know what to do.
“Why are you doing this to me after inviting me to your room?” Then you treat me badly, Gamma Ares, I don’t deserve to be treated like that, it’s not gentlemanly,” Helena stammered as she put on her clothes.
Ares only fixed his eyes on the little young lady who stood on the front wall of his room, he didn’t understand why she was there, but he noticed that her gaze moved up and down in a restless gesture. He furrowed his eyebrows, and after a deep sigh, expressed his bewilderment aloud to Helena.
“Helena! Who told you I’m a gentleman? You’ve noticed that he commanded a group of warriors, you better leave, I don’t want to waste my time with you anymore.
Helena glared at him with a rage and walked down the hallway, sparking anger.
Ares leaned back from the doorway and folded his hands as he stuck his intense green spheres on Gina and, in a deep, manly voice, expressed.
“What are you doing standing there?” Did you also come to keep me company?
The blush on Gina’s cheeks intensified, flashing through her mind. “He regards me as another libertine wolf.” She was overwhelmed by the intensity of his gaze, which left her noticeably intimidated. He took a few deep breaths to muster the necessary courage and finally with a hint of shyness in his voice, he said.
“Gamma Ares, I’m sorry you’re here. It’s just… Well, I took the audacity to come all the way here to apologize for my behavior in the camp.
Ares felt her flushed cheeks and rubbed one hand with the other, playfully letting go.
“Are you the one who wants to take advantage of me this time?” If so, you can come into my room and I forgive you.
Gina’s eyes widened and with a grimace of disgust approached him.
“Look, you stingy wolf,” he began in a defiant but determined tone. Not all she-wolves in our category are the same. I’ve come here just to apologize for my reaction that day when you called me omega.
Ares laughed as he stretched out his arms and sat up to take a few steps toward her.
“Did you get like that when I called you an omega?” I don’t believe you. Besides, how did you want me to call you if I don’t even know your name? Here’s a piece of advice: don’t put yourself down because you’re an omega. In my lands, all wolves are and treat each other equally.
Ares was a few inches away from her and detailed her, he was impressed by her sweet and shy beauty. But his gray eyes reflected sadness. Carefully, he stretched out his fingers and brushed his knuckles across her cheek, whispering to her in a soft but manly voice.
“But if you want to come with me, I don’t have a problem. It’s not because you’re an omega, but because you’re a very pretty and shy young woman.
Gina, feeling those fingers brush against her face, was alarmed. Since the traumatic thing in her life happened, she hasn’t allowed any man to touch her. In a trembling voice, he replied.
“Don’t ever do that again in my life. I told you I’m not like the other wolves. I’ve already apologized, so I’m leaving.” He almost ran out of there.
Ares saw the despair in her eyes and uneasily watched her disappear down the hallway. He turned, closed the door to his room, and walked out behind her. From the top of the stairs, she saw him leave the mansion and decided to follow her.
Gina left the mansion and walked to her favorite spot. He sat down on a bench surrounded by fruit trees. She didn’t want her mother to see her cry; In that little piece of place, he felt free. In the distance, he looked at the guards and took the opportunity to open the link with his she-wolf. Since the tragedy happened, she was no longer a cheerful and mischievous she-wolf who jumped in the forest. Now, he had rarely wanted to go out.
“Tea, my beloved wolf, I’m glad to see you. Don’t be sad, it’s better that way. That scary wolf doesn’t deserve us.” The little wolf was lying with her head on her front legs. Gina continued. Better come, let’s go for a short walk. It’s been a while since you’ve stretched your legs.
Gina got up, took a few steps into the woods, took off her clothes at the foot of an old oak tree, and transformed into a white wolf with black spots. He stood there, pacing back and forth, seldom straying far from that place.
Ares, who had followed her, noticed her blank stare and it crossed her mind: “Something happened to you and I’m going to find out what it was.” Seeing her undress, he swallowed hard. It seemed to him the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life. Then he saw her turn into a little wolf.
“Let me out,” Orion interrupted him, and immediately transformed. He took a few steps toward the she-wolf. Tea, seeing the immense black wolf approaching her, took a few steps back out of fear.
Orion, in order not to frighten her, lay down on the ground with his head resting on the ground. Overwhelmed with fear, Tea felt paralyzed. After a moment of not knowing what to do, he finally decided to go on a full-speed run through the forest.
Orion got up, shook off his black fur, and ran after her. He just wanted to make sure he was okay. When Tea reached the river, suddenly a renegade pounced on her, but the nimble she-wolf immediately dodged him. This frightened her even more, as the malicious renegades were supposed to have been eliminated. It crossed his mind: “But how are they back here?” As she was about to continue running, she saw how a huge shadow passed over her and attacked the renegade hard, tearing him apart in a matter of seconds.
Tea was petrified as she watched the black wolf protect her. Orion, after killing the renegade, walked up to the static she-wolf and took her in his thick, hairy arms. He settled her on his chest as he emitted a soft growl, trying to comfort her.
“Tea, what are you doing?” Let’s go to the mansion,” Gina protested, annoyed by the wedding. Tea didn’t answer him and just let himself be petted by Orion. He found it terribly reassuring to be like this. He had protected her, he was her hero, and he let her scent envelop him.
Gina couldn’t believe that silly she-wolf would do that. Furious, she said,
“Move, let’s go to the mansion.” My mom must be worried.
The little wolf shifted in her hairy chest, detached herself from Orion and turned her back on him, walked a few steps. Before running, he turned his head back sadly, grimaced goodbye, and sped off.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Orion reverted to his human form. Ares couldn’t believe how Orion had created the bond with his mate.
“How can that be possible if I’ve had her so close and I didn’t realize it was her?” He said, surprised by what he had just witnessed.
“Because it hid its scent. From now on, it must be protected. Someone hurt my mate, I’m sure of that,” Orion growled angrily.
Ares closed the link and walked naked through the woods, pondering how to approach Gina now that he knew who she was. However, he was aware that she wanted nothing to do with him.
