ATHENA’S POV “Fuck!” I cursed as he tongue fucked me thoroughly. His tongue entered my folds like he owned it. Pushing in and out until I cummed again without a warning. This was the third time now, I guess? Or the fourth? Heck, I lost counting. He got up as his eyes met mine heatedly, my cumming dripping down his lips. “Taste how sweet you taste, sweetheart,” he slammed his lips on mine without giving me a warning and my mouth immediately filled with a tangy, sour flavor. So this is what I taste like? “Mhm,” I moaned against his lips before he got up, swiping them clean with his tongue. “Fuck, the sinful things I want to do to you!” He grunted. “Then what's stopping you?” I was surprised at the newly found boldness within me. He had awakened a wild cat that I didn't know ever existed inside me. And to make it worse, I wanted to explore all my dark, forbidden sides with him. I knew he could unlock them all. “Hahah,” he chuckled like I was a kid. “You'll be screaming once I am
XAVIER'S POVFucking hell. This girl was going to be the death of me for sure. Once I had a taste of her, it was like I couldn't stop. It was impossible to stop. I would have gone two more rounds if she hadn't been so exhausted already. I know I already drained her by making her cum more than she could take. But I can't be blamed. It was her fault she looked so fuckable, so gorgeous every time she orgasmed. Her lips parted just a little to let those sinful moans slip out of them, making me want to fuck her senselessly, till she forgets to breathe. Till she forgets her name, her fuckign existence. The way her tight cunt squeezed the shit out of me, sending me jolts of pleasure, driving my Exodus out of his mind. I had to literally fight him for control. I knew if he took charge, then it would be too rough for her to bear. Especially since it was her first time. Yes, I knew and I didn't even have to ask. Her tight pussy was proof enough that she was so pure and all mine. But every fe
ATHENA'S POVAs I slowly opened my eyes, the harsh sunlight pierced through the curtains, intensifying the pounding in my head. Groaning, I attempted to sit up, only to be greeted by a chorus of protests from my protesting muscles. Every inch of my body seemed to ache, as if I'd run a marathon on rocky terrain.Peeling myself from the tangled sheets, I winced with each movement. My limbs felt like they had a personal vendetta against me. The faint scent of last night clung to my skin, a mix of sweat and a lot of sex.My hand extended to the other side of the bed, only to find it empty. A frown marked my face upon noticing the absence of Xavier. He left? The sheets were still warm, so it only means it's been a few minutes since he left. He can't leave, he likes us. Didn't you see how he was with us the whole night? My subconscious mocked me. Yeah, but what if I wasn't good? It was my first time. What if he didn't like it? Gosh, you really need to start giving yourself more credit. M
ATHENA'S POV“Are you sure this is necessary?” I tried to keep my hair straight, getting my hair blow-dried. “You could have easily done that in the pack house. What was the need of coming here?” We really did not have to come to the salon for this. I understand it was my Moonday, but we didn't need a full makeover for that. I would have done a good job myself at the pack house if I had been provided with some makeup and whatever stuff this lady was using on my hair. “Of course it is! I'm not settling for anything less for my soon-to-be-luna,” Valerie chirped. Really, where did the girl even have this much money to book this appointment for me? “OK, but we are going home after this.”“Uh, uh, not happening.”“What do you mean?” “We are going shopping after this,” I hissed at the slight tug I felt when the hairstylist rolled my hair. “Sorry,” she quickly mumbled. “This is so unnecessary, Valerie. Really. What if Xavier's worried?” “Oh Moon Goddess, Athena! You worry too much. Alph
XAVIER'S POVMy heart ached seeing Athena being tormented like that. “Hey, hey, I’m here,” I whispered, struggling to take the pain away from her, only if I could. The issue was, I couldn't. I saw fur starting to sprout out on her face as her screams of agony echoed among the people who were gathered. Everyone had looks of worry etched on their face for Athena, as she went through the painful process. “You need to take her in the open, Alpha. She is shifting. She'll feel more suffocated in the crowd,” Cameron said. “Right,” I picked her up in my arms, trying to be gentle, but she hissed as soon as my hands met her back to steady her. “Ow! It hurts everywhere Xavier! It feels like every bone in my body is breaking,” I could feel the pain in every word she said. I knew what it felt like to shift for the first time. Fucking excruciating torture. That, too, continuing for hours! The experience was different for everyone. For some it took a few hours, others maybe half a day. And for t
XAVIER'S POVAthena’s wolf was beautiful. Absolutely freaking gorgeous. She was freaking gorgeous. I can't believe I was so lucky to have her in my life in the first place. She was small, the size of a pup, which was confusing no doubt, but even then her wolf looked so ethereal, it could make heads turn easily. ‘First, you need to relax.’ I knew she was panicking and overwhelmed with everything happening so suddenly. Anyone who would have been in her place would have been the same. But I'm so proud she handled everything so gracefully, so effortlessly. I was glad she gave all she had to let her shift process get over as quickly as it could. ‘Just think of yourself in your human form. Imagine your hands, legs, hair, your body. Just close your eyes and concentrate on it, and you'll shift back to your human form,’ I conveyed through our mind-link. ‘Ok,’ she whispered hesitantly before obeying. And within a few minutes, the sounds of bone cracking were heard again and Athena shifted bac
AUTHOR'S POVElder Panton stood patiently, waiting for someone to finally make their appearance. His head whipped towards the door when he heard a knock. “Come in,” there was an urgency in his voice. “What's the update?” He asked the man who had just entered his room, with his hand tucked in his pockets. “You seem in a rush?” “I just want the answer!” Elder Panton was desperate to know what was happening. He wanted to know whether his strategy would work or not.“Alright, alright. The update is, that you are pretty much fucked,” the guy announced. “What do you mean?” “He has marked her. He had already claimed her as his mate. There is nothing much you can do now,” Panton groaned in annoyance, knowing Xavier had destroyed his plans. “And to add a cherry on top, she got her wolf as well. So we can't use that point either now.” “When?” “Her eighteenth Moonday.”“Fuck!” Panton exclaimed. “Fuck indeed.” Panton’s hands clenched in a tight fist as the urge to destroy something took ov
ATHENA'S POVXavier left immediately after lunch to have the meeting with the elders and I grew more anxious with every passing second. The Longer the meeting lasted, the more I panicked thinking about the worst case scenarios. Was I just supposed to sit here and wait until he comes back? ‘Of course, stupid.’ I heard the voice in my head again. My wolf! I remembered Xavier's words. Could I communicate with her?'Ah, this stupid girl,' I mentally saw her rolling her eyes. 'Of course you bloody can. I can practically hear your thoughts. You are me! And I am you! We are technically the same person, or animal if that makes sense.'Woah, she could hear me all this time. What's with the attitude though? ‘Seriously? You are saying I have an attitude? I am literally just marveling over the amazing brain you have.’ ‘Hey! You don't have to be so mean! I finally decided to talk back to her. Enough with the sass.’‘Yeah, well you can't blame me. I am only a version of yourself.’‘Yeah, then at
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
ATHENA'S POV The rain drummed relentlessly against the window pane, each droplet echoing the emptiness within me. I sat perched on the edge of my bed, my gaze fixed on the somber scene outside, where the world seemed to blur into shades of gray under the heavy downpour. 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
AUTHOR'S POVThe witch's heart raced as she sprinted and burst into the clearing where Alpha Xavier stood, a primal fear gripped her soul, her words stumbling over the weight of their significance.Behind her, the haunting echoes of the coven's chants faded, drowned out by the urgency of her mission."Alpha Xavier! Athena. She..." The witch faltered, her voice trembling with the weight of unspoken dread.Xavier's eyes narrowed, his posture tense with a primal instinct to protect his mate at all costs. "What? What happened to Athena?" His voice crackled with raw emotion, the air thick with the palpable fear of impending loss.Her voice of reason, interjected, words laced with desperation. "Your pup is giving Athena a hard time. We need to operate... like right now."Xavier's mind raced with the cruel reality of the situation, his thoughts a whirlwind of despair and determination. "But that's not possible. We don't have any doctors with us, and she is in no condition to be moved. It wil
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
Author's PovIn a dimly lit chamber illuminated by flickering candlelight, the witch stood over her cauldron, the air heavy with the scent of herbs and incense. 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. Each ingredient added was a whispered plea to the forces of nature, a plea for Ath
XAVIER'S POVShe did it again. 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
AUTHOR’S POVAs the dust settled and the echoes of Athena's radiant display faded into the ether, Cyrus rose from the ground, his form shrouded in a veil of malevolent fury. Dusting himself off with a disdainful flick of his hand, he surveyed the battlefield with a cold, calculating gaze. 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. Or how it happened. "Enough!" Cyrus's voice thundered across the battlefield, a declaration of defiance amidst the chaos of war. With a swift motion, he
Author's PovThe battlefield seethed with chaos, a maelstrom of clashing, roars of defiance, and the acrid scent of blood and sweat. Athena and Nate surged into the heart of the conflict. Nate, his primal instincts awakening, transformed into his lup wolf, a magnificent and formidable wolf, his muscles rippling with the promise of ferocity.As they charged forward, the clash of armies reached its crescendo. Cyrus directed his gaze toward Athena. With a swift motion, he unleashed a bunch of silver bullets aiming to blind the very hope that rallied her allies. Not before putting a few into Xavier's wolf which lay limp before his feet. He immobilized him, each silver bullet piercing through flesh and bone, shackling Xavier in a web of agony. With a final shot, Cyrus aimed directly at Athena, his malevolent intent a venomous whisper in the tumult of battle. “Let's get this over with.”Time slowed to a languid crawl as Nate, attuned to the impending danger, watched with a primal urgency.
