CHAPTER 69 Scared

  Ares POV

  My heart continues to long for my aspirations, and the realization of having engaged in intimacy with Blaire last night has left me grappling with a whirlwind of emotions. In a haze of inebriation, I find myself questioning the motives behind my actions, as much of my interaction with her seems fueled by a lingering anger towards Bathel for seemingly usurping what was once mine. This introspection prompts a reevaluation of my past decisions.

  Reflecting, I never intended to lose Dana; my intentions were always to shield her from the clutches of the Black River Pack. Yet, despite my efforts to convince myself otherwise, she remains the focal point of my thoughts. This lingering unease persists, and I find myself grappling with unfamiliar emotions that I cannot seem to shake.
