Niall's P.O.V

I woke up with to my alarm beeping. "Shut it off." I hear someone complain next to me, so I quickly shut it off and rolled off the bed to get ready for the day. "Come back." And that told me that Ares still hasn't given Liam control.

"I have work to do. Do you wanna help me? I would like to spend as much time with my mate as I can before I get the meanie back." I said and Ares groaned. "Hey! You spent time with Mystic last night, don't you think it's my turn now?" I pouted.

Okay I'm up." He said and walked out of my room to go get ready while I get ready in my room.

I went downstairs in the kitchen and found him sitting on the table, waiting for me. "What do we do first?" He asked.

"Make breakfast for the pack." I said and we got to making breakfast. I found out my mate is useless in the kitchen. "Okay, let's do this. I make breakfast while you set the table and we'll do the dishes together?" I proposed and he eagerly nodded.

"As much as I hate these idiots for what they have been doing to you, I don't think killing them would be appropriate." He said and I agreed with a kiss to his cheek.

"Oh!" Ares and I looked at the person standing in the doorway. "I came to help but it looks like you don't need it at all. I'll make sure to tell Denise that you're fine." Luna said.

"Say hi to Ares, Luna." I softly put emphasis on 'Ares' so she knows it's not Liam with us, but his wolf.

"Oh." She said with disappointment in her voice. "Morning Ares." She mumbled before leaving the room.

"Liam is going to break her heart so badly." Ares said and I only nodded because even though it's painful for me to admit that I'm going to be rejected as soon as Liam gets control of his body, it's still the truth.

"Liam is still asleep, so tell me where you're running off to." Ares asked after a while, which made my eyes widen because I haven't told anyone that I'm planning to run away yet, so how did he know? "Mystic told me that you might run away when we were talking last night." He said and I understood.

"I don't know. I still haven't decided if I'm going to run away yet. I don't want to make Mystic suffer because he can't be close to his mate, but I don't have anything here for me. But I think I'll stay." I said to him.

"Mystic told me that you might wanna stay and endure pain just so he can be with his mate, that is why he asked me to tell you to leave. I love you Niall, just know that, but I also don't want you to stay here. Please go- so what do we do next?" Ares suddenly changed the topic which told me something is wrong and I should play along.

"You help me take the food to the table. Is Liam awake yet?" I ask to make sure he's the reason Ares stopped talking.

"Yes and he wants his body back, but he can wait for a few minutes." Ares said and something told me his definition of 'minute' is hour.

"How many hours do we have?" I asked him with a smile on my face.

"The whole day. Maybe even tomorrow." He said and I started to laugh when his eyes flickered from gold to brown and then back to gold.

"Let's celebrate, My Love!" He cheered and did a fist pump, making me laugh even more. "I'm taking you out on a date tonight." He then said to me as he walked closer.

"Well I'd love to go out with you." I put my arms around his neck and he put his around my waist. He leaned in and kissed me, but that was short lived because we heard someone clear their throat, making us jump apart.

"Well it's good to know that you're thinking about us, Liam. I was waiting for you to come tell me who your mate is." His father said.

"Don't bother." Luna mumbled. "Ares honey, are you and Niall joining us for breakfast?" She then loudly said so we can all hear her.
