XAVIER'S POV

“She ran away.”

“What?” I bolted up from my position as Athena continued to give me a confused look. She didn't know that Scarlet was in the dungeons. “How the fuck did she get out?”

“I have no idea, Alpha. As per your orders, Colby and I were dragging the witch to the dungeons when we saw the two guards dead on the ground, with their neck cut open and blood oozing out of it. The doors to the dungeons were open and there was no sign of Scarlet. Anywhere,” Cameron finished, looking at his feet. My pulse quickened as I bolted out of my room, the door slamming shut behind me. Anger surged through my veins, a fiery torrent fueled by Scarlet's audacity. I stormed through the dimly lit corridors, my heavy boots echoing off the stone walls.

Cameron's warning resonated in my mind, and as I neared the dungeons, a foreboding tension gripped my chest. The stench of dampness and mildew filled the air, but beneath it lingered the unmistakable metallic scent of blood. My pace intens

Panton sighed before speaking. “Scarlet was never your mate to begin with. Well, not at least the real one. She used a potion by a strong witch, covering her scent and changing it to make you feel drawn to her.” “But how is that even possible?” I frowned, not believing what he was saying. “In the world of witches and wizards, everything is possible. She was given a task by her lovely brother. To get close to you. To find out all the ins and outs of the pack. Every strength and every weakness that you possess. And that could have been only possible if she stuck to you like a mate would. I never got good vibes from her. But once during a trip, I saw her heading towards a coven hidden in the woods. She was trying to be discreet obviously. But not that successful in it.” What the hell was even happening here? Magic cou

    ATHENA'S POV I decided to come back a little earlier than Xavier. Just telling him that I was feeling tired and wanted to rest, did the job. Knowing that he is going to be busy for a few more hours with the training, I decided it was my time to sneak out. And so, making sure to stay undercover, I got out of the pack house and made my way into the woods. I would honestly save myself time and go there directly if it wasn't for Xavier's overprotective nature. He made sure to send some company with me to make sure I got back to the pack house safely. It was hardly five minutes away from the training grounds. I tried convincing him that I was going to be fine, but he, being himself, obviously didn't have it. I just hope he never finds out about my little adventures in the woods, otherwise I'm not sure how exactly he would react. Or who was I kidding. I knew exactly how he would react. He would go all alpha on me, scold me even and probably multiply the guards and his petty agents for me

    ATHENA'S POV“Is everything ready?” I asked Oneka as I fixed my hair. Honestly, I curse the day I decided to take the matters of planning this whole event myself. Xavier was right, I should have just hired an event planner. “Relax, Athena. You seriously worry too much. Everything is under control.” “I hope so,” I sighed, giving a little twist to the lock of my hair that was framing my forehead before finally giving myself an overview in the mirror. “Here, fix your lipstick a bit.” Oneka handed me the shade I was wearing and I blushed remembering why it needed to be fixed. Of course, Xavier barged in a few minutes ago, as soon as I got my makeup done and kissed the living shit out of me because he said, and I quote ‘You don't expect me to behave when you deprive me of yourself for too long.’ I didn't even take that long to get ready, to be honest. But who can get anything into the thick head of the big bad Alpha. “Are the kids ready?” I sat on the bed to put on my heels. “Yeah. I

    ATHENA'S POV“Are you sure you want to do this?” I held Oneka's hand into mine, giving it a gentle squeeze. She had gone through a lot. Suffered a lot. Cameron betrayed each and everyone of us in the worst way. But the impact it left on Oneka, was compared to no one else. The heartbreak, the pain she felt was unlike any other person who was connected to him from the pack. She sighed, her hands shaking ever so slightly that if I wasn't holding them, I would have missed the action. “I'll…” her voice cracked before taking a deep breath. “I'll be fine, Athena. I've known Pi for way longer than I've known Cameron. I think with Cameron, it was just never meant to be. Being with Pi, I think, just comes naturally. It's like I'd never had to try to be myself with him. Looks like I was just in denial or a fool to realize it, when everyone around us literally teased us about being a couple.” She smiled sadly, her eyes holding gratitude for the guy who supported her throughout her life, nonethe

It was as if the heavens themselves were mourning alongside me, shedding tears that mirrored the desolation in my heart."Athena?"Oneka's voice pierced through the silence, pulling me back from the abyss of my thoughts. I turned my head slightly, acknowledging her presence without uttering a word. She entered my room with a tenderness that only she possessed, wrapping her arms around me in a sideways embrace."It's time," she whispered, her voice barely audible above the sound of the rain. I felt the weight of her words, the gravity of the moment pressing down on me like an anchor dragging me beneath the surface of an unfathomable sea.Tears traced silent paths down my cheeks, betraying the numbness that had engulfed

    XAVIER'S POVMy hurt twisted, not being able to fathom the fact that I was so close to losing everything in my life. Let me rephrase that. I was close to losing my life. That's what I felt currently knowing that my mate and my pup were fighting for their damn lives in that closed coven. And all I could do was wait. And stand like a fool, be of absolute no help. “She'll be alright,” A voice broke me out of my thoughts. I turned around to see it was Maggie. “She’s a fighter. I know she will get through this.” I felt a pang in my heart seeing her like this. In one flesh. Unlike my mother. “No one gave you the right to speak to me. Just because you are not dead right now, doesn't mean you can talk to me. I'm the Alpha of my pack.” Instead of getting scared like she was earlier in my choke hold, she had the audacity to smile. It was a sad one. But nonetheless. It was a smile. A one I hated seeing. She doesn't deserve to smile after putting my mother in misery. “You're just like him. You

The atmosphere was tense, fraught with the weight of impending fate. The witch's gnarled fingers danced with precision as she added ingredients to the bubbling liquid, her movements both fluid and deliberate.Glancing towards the couch where Athena lay, pallid and still, the witch's heart clenched with sympathy and regret. The last Arctic Wolf on earth lay motionless, her breath shallow and pulse weakening with each passing moment. The witch knew the gravity of the situation; if the potion failed, there would be no hope left to preserve this majestic creature, nor to propagate her species for generations to come.With a resolve born of desperation, the witch quickened her pace, the liquid in the cauldron simmering with an otherworldly intensity.

The light blinded us all as the wind gushed past our figures, slicing the silence with a heavy rustle forcing us to close our eyes to prevent them from catching dust that was suspended around us. It took a few seconds, maybe even minutes for everything to settle down and return back to normal when I was finally able to see again. My warriors who were not killed by the beasts, stood alive with some scratches and gashes. Oneka was held by the vampire guy who intervened. Scarlet stood out of the picture, sheltering Maggie behind a cover of bushes. She was here all this time? Why didn't she take part in the fight alongside her brother? Cameron lay dead on the ground. Cameron….My heart ached at the thought that he out of all people went against my back.My eyes fell on Cyrus, his body split into two like his other beast army. And then my heart technically bursted out of its ribcage when I saw Athena's wolf passed out on the ground. Not moving an inch. “Fuck

Anger churned within him at the sight of his decimated beast army, their once formidable ranks now reduced to a pitiful few, whimpering on the ground in the throes of death. The rest of them, already split into two.The remnants of Xavier's werewolf army, though shaken by the onslaught, stood resolute, their spirits undaunted by the chaos that surrounded them. With steely determination, they rallied to their leader's side, their resolve unbroken by the specter of defeat.Everyone was shaken by the recent events but none had the idea of what it was.
