The rest of the car ride for the day was filled with conversation about ourselves. I told him stories of my childhood, dreams, and everything in-between. He shared many things as well, and told me his mother was going to rip him a new one if we didn't meet soon.

"A human as a Luna. Is that typical?"

Ares flattens his mouth trying to think of the best way to respond, "Not particularly, but it's also not a problem. When you return the mark you will be as close to wolf as you'll ever be. The pack cares more about its heirs, and how the dynamic stays or changes."

"And you own an entire street?"

"Oh twelfth? Yes. That is pack street. All of the pack mates try to work the same strip of malls, it allows for easier trading and business support. As well, my pack doesn't enjoy the humans as much as they should so they choose to keep to themselves as much as possible."

"You realize how crazy that sounds. And I haven't really met these people. Simply ran into them with Jess whenever we were trying out coffee."

Ares laughs to himself looking over to me as we pull into a nicer hotel, "It will be entertaining for you me to watch you realize how much the wolves run within this country. And any country. Humans are oblivious to the true power we hold against them."

I cock my head to the side trying to figure out what he's insinuating, "And why is that?"

"Have you realized yet that the rich are mostly wolves, and we control the banks, government, and most forms of farming or trade? Wolves hold the keys to the worlds survival, and yet you all believe that your the apex species."

He exits the car walking around quickly to open my door. I exit as graceful as I can trying to seem like I deserve to stand next to this god of a man, "Are you planning on ruling the world one day or something?" I joke.

Ares raises a brow with a smirk coming over him, "Don't we already love. Now come on, we need to get you rested and fed."

The valet with hotel service grab the car and bags for us. Ares keeps a tight hold of my hand leading me into the lobby. His face turns into an emotionless void when we approach the desk, "Room for two."

The attendant peaks over to me, her face scrunching in disgust, "We have two rooms available. I can get you both your cards."

I give a large, annoyed, smile, "Just the one room is fine."

She peeks over to Ares, her smile becomes soft, pleasant, "Are you sure about that sir?"

"One room." He keeps a cold face, dropping his card on the table, "And let me speak to Jeremy."

"The man of the house? He's sleeping-"

"Tell him its Ares. Now go before I head up there myself."

"What are you doing?" I whisper under my breath trying to keep it as quiet as possible.

"An old friend seems to invest in human filth for his employees, just want to see how he's doing."

The lady comes back, a taller black man coming around the corner. He gives Ares a large smile pulling him into a hug, "Ares! A pleasure to have you staying with us." He turns to the desk, "Make sure to give them the luxury suite!"

"Sir- thats booked for tomorrow..."

"Do I look like I give a fuck? Ares and his wife are staying with us, they deserve the best. Handle it."

Her face pales, body jolting up to run across the lobby, "Yes sir!"

Jeremy gives us his attention, and I attempt to hide behind my Alpha, "It is truly a surprise to have you here this evening. Come lets get a drink and discuss. You must have a ton on your plate."

"Yes, that would be wonderful. Veronica, would you like to join us or retire to bed?"

"Uh, I'll join I guess."

Jeremy claps in excitement, "Even better! It's time I met the queen of the lands! I heard you took put that fucker James."

I think Ill like you.
