Chapter 40 Third Person POV

At the sound of snarls and growls, all anyone can truly do is watch as Ares and the Rogue battle amongst themselves to see who would be the victor over the other. "Too slow little pup" taunts the Rogue, clearly enjoying every little bit as they continue, neither one giving or submitting to the other. "Think again. Just who do you think you are anyways?" snaps Ares, getting tired of this game of

Wits:

"Me? Why I'm the Rogue King. And she's my Queen" grins the wolf, his eyes never once leaving. Ares's face. Fear slowly rising to grip at his chest at the mention of the Rogue King. "Rogue King?" asks Kai, his attention now on the wolf as well. "Yes.. I'm the leader of all Rogues. Every last one of them. We bow to no one, not even to that of the Lycan King" laughs the Rogue, finding it very amusing as he watches the younger pups. Eyes never leaving Ares as they now stood face to face instead of fighting one another. "Err... Yet, you're trespassing. Remove your Rogues and no one has to get hurt" growls Ares, his eyes never leaving sight of the other wolf, Zeus clearly annoyed by their presence. "And if And if I refuse?" asks the King.

"Then you and your pack shall face death" answers Ares, the two of them now mere inches from one another, their eyes boring into the other as if waiting for one of them to strike once more. "Ares... ..." whimpers Athena, not wanting her mate to get hurt by the tone of his voice. "He'll be fine, love, trust him" whispers Eros, still in that protective stance as he watches, his eyes only briefly moving to look at his mate before turning his attention back to his brother and the Rogue. "Hmmm.." pausing, the Rogue King weighing out his options before smirking. "I have a better idea" and with that he moves to ram into Ares, knocking him into a tree with a yelp not fully prepared for something like that to happen to him. "ARES!" cries Athena.

"FALL BACK!" shouts the King as he looks to his small group of wolves, returning his focus back to Ares who laid by the tree.

We'll t I take our leave, for now, but mark my words I'll be back and when I do, your precious Luna shall be mine" laughs the Rogue King turning as he leaves, his pack following shortly after him.

Waiting until he was gone, does Athena move to rush over, nuzzling his nose as she did. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" she asks, a bit panicked.
