Betrothed To The Night

After revealing the unexpected news, Adonis and his wives decided to stay in the royal library for a rest.

Meanwhile, in their sleeping chamber, Ares lay awake beside his wife, his eyes settled on her peaceful form.

They had been talking just a minute ago, but now she was fast asleep.

Ares smiled, amused by her sudden slumber. "Little bird, are you really asleep?" he whispered, his fingers gently brushing against her cheek.
