Athena POV
After dinner, I was left feeling even more confused about Erik than before. It left me with a night full of staring up at the ceiling. As the sun started rising and a new day had started, I rolled out of bed unrested and unable to soothe the knot in my stomach. Before I could even get fully dressed, there was a knock at the door.
"One second," I shouted. I slipped on my burgundy sports bra, a loose white Tee and burgundy leggings. I opened the door to see Alpha Erik standing there. My eyes widened as I stared at him, and my heart started racing beyond my control. His face was hard as he looked like he had a night without sleep as well. I roamed his face as I looked at his chiselled jaw and his eyes dark with emerald sp

Chapter 11 - Nightmares "Unbelievable," I shouted in frustration as I turned from the door. I turned around to look at the room I was now stuck in. My eyes widened as I looked around the room. In the middle of the room was a four-poster bed. There were two doors, one that led to a bathroom and another that led to a closet bigger than any closet I ever had. It was fully stocked with clothes for every event. The room was bright, with white walls and pops of gold throughout. When I walked into the washroom, my eyes landed on a huge soaker tub and a walk-in shower. A large mirror that spread across the wall. "I have never had anything so beautiful in my life. There has to be a mistake. I'm sure Beta Drake just put us in the wrong room." I said to Phoenix
Alpha Erik Pleasure
Chapter 12 - Pleasure Athena POV "I can't believe we're doing this." I groaned as I got out of bed. Phoenix stayed silent as I approached his door. "If he doesn't answer the first knock, we're turning around and going back to bed," I said, more to myself than her. "Whatever you say," Phoenix laughed. Her excitement was twisting my stomach in knots. I reached up to the door and tapped gently, hoping he didn't hear it and I could retreat to my warm and safe bed. I waited a moment before letting out a sigh of relief and disappointment. I didn't know why I let her talk me into coming, but at the same time, she didn't really have to do much convincing.
Alpha Erik Awakening
Chapter 13 - Awakening Unknown POV "I know where the child is. It's only a matter of time before they shift. Once their wolf emerges, we will take them." She laughed. The thought of all the power she would gain if she successfully captured my daughter was horrifying. But I had to hope she was ready and trained well enough to see through it all and claim her rights to the throne. "You will never win, Dela. I won't let you use my child for evil." I spit at her. She smacked my face scratching my cheek with her nails. My body has become numb to the pain I've endured throughout the years. I didn't give her the satisfaction of witnessing any reactions. Instead, I looked up at her and smiled, earning myself a punch to the stomach. She laughed as I grunted from the force of her
Alpha Erik Lies
Chapter 14 - Lies Athens POV I was in and out of consciousness the whole walk back to the packhouse. Being with Alpha Erik made the pain tolerable. My body had already sweated out the sedative he gave me. I was coated in a thick layer of sweat, and my muscles were shaking from exhaustion. I couldn't make out anything anyone was saying. The pain demanded all my attention. Even Phoenix was having trouble snapping me out of my trance. I felt the warmth leave me and was replaced with a cold surface. My body welcomed the cold as it was overheated. It wrapped around my body like kisses from the winter skies. I was too lost to the discomfort to realize that I was now naked. The cold was slowly replaced with heat as the sheet was placed on top of me. My skin
Alpha Erik Second Wave
Chapter 15 - Second Wave "Athena, wake up." I heard someone whisper into my ear. I slowly opened my eyes. A girl with a warm smile greeted me. "I'm so happy to meet you finally..." she said excitedly, her voice soft as she gently cupped my cheek with her hand. "Where am I? Who are you." I asked, dazed. Last I remembered, I was in the shifting room alone. Now I was in an empty room. With a girl I had never seen before. Her hair was long and the colour of lavender. Her skin was fair, and her eyes were as bright as the blue sky. "I've been waiting a long time to meet you. It isn't easy being locked away. Phoenix had no problem reaching you, but I couldn't break down your walls." She huffed before laughing at
Alpha Erik Obligations
Chapter 16 - Obligation Eriks POV "Tom and Greta, I need to speak to them." She whispered before passing out. Her body was covered in sweat as it gave in to the exhaustion. Most wolves passed out and slept for days after a shift. Yet, she was awake and moving around after her first shift. She was strong and resilient. She wasn't afraid to show her emotions throughout the changes. Due to her magical abilities, she shifted faster than most did too. It would normally take a day or two to switch from one form back to another completely. But, she did it in a matter of hours. She had been in here for a day and had completed both shifts. I picked her up and carried her back to her room. Placing her on the bed, I grabbed one of my shirts and slipped it over her head. Covering her up, I headed to the door, turning around to gi

Chapter 16 - The calm Athenas POV The last thing I remembered was hearing their names. After that, my brain was blank. My mind felt as though I hadn't slept in days, but my body felt fully recharged. I slowly sat up, trying to register where I was. Finally, realization flooded me the room was mine. Looking around, I could see a dark figure sitting on a chair in the corner of the room. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I could see it was Erik. His head leaned back as he snored quietly. I pushed myself off the bed heading to the bathroom. I quietly shut the door behind me. I turned and looked at myself in the mirror. I gasped in shock as I looked at myself. My skin was practically glowing, and my eyes were as bright as the moon—my scarlet hair was n

Chapter 17 - Before *Nineteen years ago* Dela's POV "What do you mean you can't find her," I yelled, rage coursing through my body. "We looked everywhere for her. We tracked her up until the edge of the forest before she disappeared." My guard's eyes were full of fear as he watched me approach him. I grabbed him by his throat, my nails piercing his skin. My lips turned up at the sight of the blood running down my fingers. My aura seeping into him, absorbing his power as my own. "What did I say would happen if you let her slip through your fingers," I whispered in his ear, my voice full of venom.

Alpha Erik Epilogue
Epilogue Three weeks later Damon The pressure of the crown was building as Alora and I settled into our new roles. My father was no longer here to keep the council at bay with their demands. But despite it all, I had found that I enjoyed this new life I had been given. The new responsibilities allowed me even more control over the Kingdom than the Captain of the guards ever could. All be it; I did miss the battle prep and daily training. But I still found holes in my busy schedule to take Alora out to the training fields at least once a week. I knew that eventually, our routine would become steady, and we would have more time to relax, but new rulers came with change and to have change, you needed to vote on old and new laws to pass. Alora and I had already made some big changes, like incorporating technology from the human realm into our daily lives to allow us easier communication with other realms. But there were still a lot of issues with the old ways of running our Kingdom
Alpha Erik To Love and Cherish
Chapter 49 - To Love and Cherish ErikPeace was something that was talked about constantly. During wars, it was what we fought for. While ruling a Kingdom, it was what we strived to maintain. But I had never truly known peace until now. The thought of finally being ridden of this pain inside of me, knowing that soon I would be with my love once again, was freeing. The final night with my family started out slow, but it eventually picked up and ran right into the night. There was laughter and tears exchanged around the table as we shared stories of my past and everyone got a chance to say goodbye, getting the closer they needed.And as everyone turned in for the night, I found myself alone again; unable to sleep, I found myself outside. I stayed up looking out at the stars waiting for the sun to rise. I closed my eyes, letting the warm breeze brush across my skin, engraving it into my mind. "So you really are going to spend your last moments alive, sitting in a field of flowers like
Alpha Erik Goodbyes
Chapter 48 - GoodbyesErikI watched as the sun set beyond the forest, the oranges and pinks of the sky blending together as the sun bid it farewell. It had been a long time since I had nothing to do, no responsibilities with the crown or of the guards. I thought it might help me move on from the hell that the last year had been without Athena, but now I realize that was a stupid notion. It was lonely, and the weight of losing my mate weighed heavier on my heart now than it did while I still ruled.I kept as busy as a retired King could, helping Damon when he needed to seek council or helping Apollo if he needed a hand with training recruits, but I knew that they both didn't really need my help. They just didn't want me to feel left out. Apollo was a natural at his role, and so was Damon. Despite what Damon said when he first discovered he would be the next in line to inherit the throne. He took to it as a bird took to the sky. He was a born leader and shined when he was in control o
Alpha Erik Home
Chapter 47 - Home Alora It had been a month since I had been crowned Queen of Gardenia, the days seeming to slip away as the kingdom welcomed the summer solstice and our ruling.I was busy learning my new role, Damon's father and Grandfather helping ease us both into the important roles we both now held. However, it was easier having Helga by my side. I was happy to have her as my royal advisor, and Rachel had said she was a natural already. I knew she would be, though; she always loved to take control and never gave up the opportunity to tell someone off. It was also working in my favour because Lord folic was so busy fighting with her that he always missed out on voting for new laws or changes to existing rulings. Damon loved it, and it made the council meetings less gruelling. It was absurd how many times we had to have a council meeting. At least once a day, and most of the things brought up were trivial problems. By the end of the day, I was just happy to get some alone time
Alpha Erik The Crown
Chapter 46 - The CrownDamon It felt like an eternity had passed as I waited in the royal chambers with my father. It felt even longer when we exchanged goodbyes at the throne room, and I waited at the dais while he sat on his throne. Melody stood in front of my father, a smile stretched across her face, glowing brightly. The room was full of people, some from the council, others from royal families, friends, family, and people from our Kingdom. All watching and waiting for the ceremony to begin.I was in a black royal jacket that was made with silver threading, and our family crest stitched into my left breast pocket. The wolves were placed proudly amongst the roses and the sword that separated them as they howled at the moon. My silver crown was placed on my head, but that would be changed once mine and Alora's vows were complete and only after the mothers accepted us as the new King and Queen to signal the dawn of a new era. Drake stood to the right of me, his mate, my mother's
Alpha Erik Long Live The Queen
Chapter 45 - Long Live The Queen Damon "Again," I commanded as Alora worked to keep the wings she had summoned to remain on her back. She had learned quickly how to handle the phoenix flames since she had already worked with the fire element. But now came the hard part, only half shifting. I did it all the time, especially in battle, morphing my nails into claws and elongating my canines. But nothing about that was easy; it came with time and practice, but Alora wanted to have it mastered. With the coronation and our mate ceremony happening tomorrow, she wanted to be better at it. Not only to prove to the council and our people that she was a worthy Queen but also to herself. I didn't want to be the one to tell her to slow down, not after she had spent so much of her life ruled under someone else thumb. But I had warned her of the risks of exhaustion and told her that when I saw fit, we would end the training for the evening.Alora begrudgingly accepted my condition, and I kept tr
Alpha Erik Worship
Chapter 44 - Worship AloraI flipped through the pages of the phoenix book the jinx family had kept for generations. There was so much to process, like what abilities I now possessed because of what I was. It made my head hurt; there was so much to learn, so much to figure out. I was now different than normal fae; I was now a shifter. But, unlike most shifting fae, my order didn't communicate with me. Instead, it was a part of me; we were one and the same. I would still live an immortal life, only having one enemy that could stop me from ever being reborn, permanently ending my life. A Basilisk. A venous snake shifter that, like me, was rare, most believed them to be extinct. But now that I existed, one would be born, if not already—the universe now having to find balance in all forms. It was mindblowing the things I had already read about. For example, I could enchant items with my flames, similar to everlasting fire. But unlike everlasting fire, I couldn't break wards or spells w
Alpha Erik Warning
Chapter 43 - WarningDamonI sat at the dais, my legs hanging over the edge as I waited for Cedric to arrive with the artifacts Alora and I asked for. Balor was right when he said the Jinx family would bargain for their priceless information. The smug look on their faces was wiped away and replaced with wide gaping mouths as they stared at the amulet in shock.Diana had muttered a curse under her breath. One I was sure she wanted me to hear because she said it so close to me. But I bit my tongue as I handed over the amulet, not wanting to risk them being stingy with their end of the deal.Alora was waiting in the Library, looking over whatever other books Audra had found for her. Now that Alora had her dream magic again, she was more determined than ever to find out what else she was capable of doing. I couldn't help but admire her for her devotion and eagerness. I was still reeling in from the mind-blowing realization that not only was Alora a rare Pheonix shifter, but she was also
Alpha Erik Full Circle
Chapter 42 - Full CircleAloraIt's funny how even after you have overcome your deepest fears that they can still creep up on you. That was how it felt right now, anyways, as we arrived at the Dream realm. It was a ghost town, everyone seeming to either vanish with my mother's magic or flee as soon as they were freed from their promise to her. The streets were quiet, the ports empty, and the palace looked haunted. The golden paint was already losing its shine and fading with the faded magic. The windows were dark and unwelcoming as we approached the not-so-gilded gate. It was now that I felt the fear of my mother creep up on me. The well of my fears bubbled in the pit of my stomach. For decades I walked through these gates and made my way to my mother's throne room to report my findings and give her the things she requested I steal. The motions all felt so familiar, but with Damon by my side, they also felt different. I knew he could sense my hesitation as we approached the giant w
