“Athena!” Andreas shouts, grabbing my arm. “I’m okay,” I tell him as he inspects my arm, but I start to hear growls from behind me as my pack starts to rise from the ground, snarls filling the air as Alpha Leon laughs. “That was just a warning shot. The next one won’t miss.” Andreas’s head snaps up, and he lets out a murderous roar. Cassia roars as well, and they both surprise me by shifting and running toward Alpha Leon. The rest of us roar and shift, and we run toward Alpha Leon and his pack as they shift and run toward us. We clash in the middle of the field. The sickening sounds of bodies colliding, and the tearing of flesh fill the air as both sides attack each other. I finish subduing one of Leon’s wolves, and I look around for Ares and Ellie, and I realize they ran past Alpha Leon’s men and are trying to get the shooter out of the tree. I watch as Ellie and Ares pull the shooter down from the tree by his ankle, and his screams fill the air as they kill him. But I notice on
“How long is this bloody tunnel?” I ask, my breathing shallow as I try to fight the claustrophobia I’m feeling. “I think I see a light up ahead,” Cassia says. “We’ve been down here for nearly thirty minutes. Where do you think it leads to?” Elder Andino asks. “I have no idea, but we need to be quiet and prepare for what’s on the other side,” Athena says, the glow of her blue eyes helping light the way through the pitch-black tunnel. ‘Is Enyo in control?’ I ask her. ‘No, why?’ ‘How are your eyes blue if you’re in control?’ I ask her, confused. ‘I don’t know. It just happens sometimes. It’s like I can draw on a power from within me, and when I do, it’s Enyo’s eyes, but I’m fully in control,’ she explains. I nod, not really understanding. “Maybe you should shift,” I whisper. “Just in case there’s more of Alpha Leon’s men or the rogue pack waiting for us.” “I agree,” Elder Laskaris whispers back. Athena stops, quickly undresses, gives me her clothes, and then shifts. Enyo shakes
“WHAT DID YOU DO?” Alpha Leon screams from the back of the pickup as Harry brings it to a stop near the cellar doors. “We didn’t do this,” I tell him as Harry pulls him down from the back of the pickup. “LIAR!” He screams, dropping to his knees as he looks over the bodies on the ground. “WHERE’S MY MATE AND SON?” “Alpha, you need to listen to me and hear the words I am saying. We. Did. Not. Do this,” I tell him slowly. “We found everyone like this.” He looks up at me with a broken look in his eyes, then turns to look behind him at the trucks. “Where’s Roy?” I motion to Harry to get Roy out of the truck. “Alpha, why didn’t you feel this happening?” Elder Andino Asks. “You should have felt the pain of losing the connections to your pack as they died.” “We hadn’t performed my ceremony yet,” he explains sadly. “So, you’re not even this pack’s Alpha? You held the meeting with us tonight under false pretenses?” I growl angrily. “I was going to be!” He yells. “So you say,” Ryna says
Near the cabin, looking over the pack’s land, I place a bouquet of white calla lilies at the base of the wooden cross that now marks the final resting place of Dad and his mate, Teresa. Tears stream down my face as I think back to the ceremony we held for them this morning, and I kiss my hand and place it on the cross.“Love you, Dad. I hope you’ve found peace with your mate. Tell Daddy I love him,” I cry.I wipe the tears from my face as I stand and turn to look out over the Blood-Moon territory. I wrap my arms around myself, trying to keep warm from the cold and take a deep breath as I try to calm down. So much has happened in the last few months, and I haven’t had time to sit back and process any of it properly.I’m Alpha, and this is my territory to protect now. It still feels surreal.Flashbacks of the last few days fill my mind, and I close my eyes and try to block everything out, especially the horrors of last night. The memory of us all silently sobbing as we watched an entire
Andreas P.O.V“Okay?” I whisper, unable to stop my heart from suddenly racing.Athena closes her eyes and nods slightly.“I need you to say it, Angel. I need to know you’re ready,” I say, my voice suddenly husky and laced with lust.Athena opens her eyes again, her eyes switching between green and blue as she looks up at me through her lashes.She takes another shaky breath and says, “I’m ready, Andreas. I want the world to know we belong to each other.”I smash my lips to hers, unable to hold back anymore. She gasps, giving me the opening I need to kiss her deeply, our tongues fighting for dominance as I place both hands on her ass and lift her up. She wraps her legs around my waist as she wraps her arms around my neck tightly, and I’m enveloped in her citrusy scent.I pull back for a moment, both of us breathing heavily as I place my forehead to hers.“We can’t do this in the snow, Angel, but I can’t wait to get back to the house,” I tell her gruffly as I turn and head towards the c
TW/CW: Torture.I hear myself groan as I begin to wake up, but when I open my eyes, I’m shrouded in darkness.‘What the fuck?’ I think to myself. I try to move my hands to rub my eyes, but I can’t, and I can feel myself start to panic as I realize my hands are bound.‘Andy, it’s okay. You’re just blindfolded,’ I hear Ares say in my head.Andy? And how can I hear Ares in my head, like I hear Enyo?“Ah, he’s awake,” I hear a voice say from somewhere in front of me.“He? What the fuck are you talking about?” I try to say, but nothing comes out.‘Why did they blindfold us?’ I hear Andy’s voice in my head, talking to Ares.‘I don’t know. They’ve been quiet since you were knocked out in the cage,’ Ares responds.‘Ares? Andreas? What the hell is happening?’ I try to ask them, but I get no response. I try to move my head to see if I can hear anything about where we are, but I don’t seem to have any control over my body. ‘Enyo? Are you there?’ I ask, trying to feel for her, but I get nothing.
“Alpha,” Doc says as he lowers his head in respect, then hugs me. He pulls back suddenly, sniffing the air, then looks at me. He moves my hair from my neck and grins. “I’m so happy for you,” he says with a wink.I blush and brush my hair back over my mark. “Thanks,” I mumble.“Covering it will not hide anything,” he says with a chuckle. “And there’s nothing to be ashamed of.”“I’m not ashamed,” I tell him. “I just don’t think it needs to be announced to everyone.”“The entire pack will know by the end of the day, Alpha. Your scent has changed, and everyone is going to be thrilled.”“I didn’t notice,” I say, sniffing myself.“Where is Alpha Andreas? I should check on him to see if there have been any changes to his condition.”“He’ll be here in a moment,” I tell him. “How are the chosen doing?” I ask, changing the subject.“Two are still under the close eye of Doctor Andrews. That would be Jack Ryan and Philip Gray,” he says, looking over the paperwork on his clipboard. “The other two,
Andreas P.O.VAthena and I leave Connor and Will with Doctor Andrews and walk hand in hand back to the front of the hospital.“Alpha Andreas,” Doc calls out as he catches up to us.“Please Doc, call me Andreas.”“With all due respect, Alpha, I’d rather not,” the Doc says with a smile. “I’d like to examine you because of your marking to see if it’s had any effect on yourself or your wolf.”“We have somewhere we need to be, Doc,” I say, looking at my watch.“This is important, Andreas,” Athena says. “I’ll mind-link Noah and have him and Rich transfer Leon to a conference room while you get looked at.”“A conference room? Are you sure?” I ask her.She nods. “He’s the only link we have to the Rogue pack. I’m going to try to work with him diplomatically. If that fails, he goes back to the cells,” she explains.I nod in agreement and turn to the Doc. “Lead the way.”The Doc leads us down to an examination room and closes the door behind us.“The usual?” I ask.“Yes, Alpha. I’ll examine your
