Ares's POV
My body is hurting, a stabbing pain in my abdomen and a ache in my feet and legs as I carry myself further and further from Thomas. Maybe it's selfish of me to walk away from him when I know he's going through his monthly but he should've thought about that before he pushed me out the door. Even the most stubborn person can try to ignore the signs for so long until they have to choice but to read and follow them.
I go back over the events of last night and this morning. His soft features have no place for a frown or anger but they held them and it was directed at me before I had even realized what was happening. I thought your soulmate is supposed to be the one to cherish you and love you forever without any predispositions. No argument, no hate. I guess it's only dumb of me to feel this way after witnessing the shit show Mates put on as a child. I guess I still had a little bit of hope I never knew about.
