"Jace stop! Please!" I begged. "Don't worry Emi, I'll be gentle for your first time." Jace mumbled against my skin. It feels like spiders crawling under my skin. Everywhere that he touches me hurts. Where the hell is Luca? Suddenly we heard a roar. It was so loud that the entire forest quaked under it's power. Jace froze on top of me. Is that..? A figure broke through the treeline next to us. Relief flooded me when I took in my mate. I can even smell his smokey scent now. Ares is here. He made it to me. Just in time too. "Ares." I breathed out his name. "How the hell did you get here?" Jace seethed from on top of me. You can see the anger in Ares eyes. He just caught someone trying to force themselves on his mate. I'm sure that Ares is beyond angry right now. Jace should be scared
