CHAPTER 79 Did He Do Something To You?

  Dana POV

  As he closed the distance between us, his strong hand gently enveloped mine, offering a reassuring embrace that filled me with a deep sense of security. With Ares's eyes fixed upon us, I couldn't help but notice the subtle shift in his demeanor, a silent acknowledgment of the bond shared between Bathel and me.

  "What brings you to this place?" Bathel's voice resonated with a restrained anger, his protective instincts palpable in the air.

  "I am not here for you, your people, or your territory," Ares retorted, his tone unwavering despite the tension in the room. "My sole purpose is Dana," he declared, his words carrying a weight that sent a shiver down my spine, a reminder of the uncertainty that always seemed to accompany his presence.

  "What? Are you trying to harm her again!?" Bathel's voice rang out, his arms instinctively moving to shield me from any potential danger.
