ALPHA AXEL'S POV.The news of Athena's visit spread throughout the palace. I had to leave an important meeting to rush to the palace. I couldn't believe Athena dared to try another attack on Rachel.“Gather everyone here, how could Athena enter the palace without anyone noticing” I shouted as I walked into the palace. “I have looked into it, Athena might have been able to enter through the use of dark magic, the sentinels never left their posts, they are quite as shocked as we are” Daniel defended as he walked towards me.“Where is Rachel?” I asked, my voice edged with concern.“The sentinels can't find her, but according to one of the sentinels, he said Rachel went to hide in a place that only you have access to”, my beta Daniel explained calmly.Immediately I ran to my library, flinging the door open as I walked in. “Rachel”, I called. “Rachel, where are you?” I shouted, but there was no response. Daniel walked in, shutting the door behind him.“Let's check behind the bookshelves”
RACHEL'S POV.I sat down and I bit my fingers anxiously, my face contorted with fear as I patiently waited for Davina. Memories of yesterday flooded back into my mind, I could not believe Alpha Cole was working with Athena.“This can't be happening”. I shook my head. I trembled inside as I was in a complete state of panic.“Rachel” Davina called as she walked into my room. “Are you okay?” She asked, her voice laced with fear as she hugged me tightly. “I came as soon as I heard,” she explained.“Athena was here, Davina” I bolted out as I held her hands. “I am going crazy, I don't know what to do, to say, to think…” I stammered as my words trailed off, fear crawled up my throat as I gasped for air.“Okay, take deep breaths and tell me what happens” Davina squeezed my hands as she took in a deep breath gesturing for me to take a deep breath.Reluctantly I took in deep breaths as I locked eyes with her, I was half mad in terror, as color drained from my face.“Okay, now tell me what happe
RACHEL'S POV.I sat down quietly in the moving car, taking a deep breath as I stared silently at the window. Besides me was my mother who stared at me, her face etched with concern.“Rachel” she called calmly as stared at me. “Are you certain?” She asked, her voice edged with fear and confusion.I turned to my mother, locking eyes with her, I wasn't sure of what had happened that day. I tilted my head quizzically. Memories of the incident flooded back to my mind, events that have no answers or an explanation. Memories of luthus attacks filled my thoughts. Luthus had appeared and tried attacking me, but it could not move closer to me as though something was protecting me, after many futile efforts, it disappeared into thin air.“I don't understand how you were protected from luthus,” my mother muttered. “Luthus is a powerful creature, even I couldn't fight it easily, it takes only a very powerful witch to do that”. She frowned as she tilted her head backward, confusion etched on her fa
Axel's POVStanding at that doorstep, I pounded heavily on her door, since yesterday no one had seen my sister, and the bodyguard had lost track of her at the hotel. We have checked the CCTV footage and everywhere but she has one missing. There was no sign of her, apparently, the hotel where James was staying had a technical problem so there was no surveillance yesterday, and there was no way for us to keep track of her. I have tried calling her phone so many times but she wasn't picking up.I was worried sick about her. After what Dario and I faced the other day in the witch's house, I wouldn't want my sister to be abducted by her and used as a sacrifice as well. Dario and I had a plan to go in search of a witch, perhaps find someone who would be able to help me see if Gaston was still alive. A part of me wanted to ask Rachel about it but then I held myself back since I hadn't apologized for what I said to her the other day. I have been looking for the right time and have been letti
RACHEL'S POV.I stormed out angrily from the witch's courtroom, I couldn't believe my coven could betray me and side with a black witch that has no intention of helping them.“Rachel, wait” Selina called, as she ran after me, resentment grew inside me like a tumor as I walked out without giving her a simple glance. “Rachel, stop” she called again.I got to the car, jerking the door open and a strong hand held my arm. “Rachel wait” my mother nodded reassuringly. I patiently waited for Selina as she got closer, anger spread through my being.“Rachel, I know that the coven had decided to side with Cara but don't give up yet, I will try to convince the witches and show them that Cara is just bad news” she patted me reassuringly.I looked back and saw Cara, resentment festered in me as I glowered at her, Cara expression was calm as if she was the one who had lost the battle. “I wouldn't give up, even if all the members of the coven are against me, I'll show them that we didn't need them,
AUTHOR'S POV.The whole palace filled with silence after Daniel made his renouncement of being the beta of the pack.Rachel locked herself in her room, as everyone blamed her, some gossiped that Rachel was mad, elders in the palace talked about dethroning her, and even Alpha Axel was not supporting her. “Rachel” Davina called, “Rachel, please come out please” Davina pleaded, banging hard on the door.“She's mad,” some maids whispered as they passed by. “She curses at everything, and now she accuses Arya of being Athena” They laughed. Davina stared brazenly at them with a hostile glare. The Maids quickly left in fear.“Let me try,” Alpha Axel said, coming closer.“Alpha Axel” Davina's mouth fell open. “I have tried everything I could but she wouldn't open the door for me” Davina explained, her face etched with sadness.Alpha Axel nodded reassuringly as he gestured for Davina to move, leaning closer he shut his eyes tightly. Davina stared at him blankly.“Rachel, I know you can hear me
ALPHA AXEL'S POV.My mouth fell open in disbelief, I looked at Daniel who nodded in agreement to Arya's revelation. “That's awesome,” Davina said, her face etched with pretentious happiness.Rachel hissed and went out angrily, as I followed her out. “Rachel” I called as I hurriedly ran after her, Rachel ignored my calls and walked directly to the room, slamming the door hard on my face as soon as she got into the room.“Wow Rachel, thanks for taking it out on the door and my face instead of taking it out on Arya and Daniel” I joked, immediately my face flickered to confusion. “What are you doing?” I asked.Rachel ignored me as she packed her clothes inside her box. Immediately she fell to the ground, clutching her stomach in pain.“Rachel, are you okay” I asked, running over to her but she jerked me away from her. “You should go prepare to be the best man for your best friend,” Rachel said coldly as she struggled to stand up.“Rachel, where do you think you are going to?” I asked,
RACHEL'S POV.The next day, the whole palace was filled with visitors from different places as they came in their numbers, all elegantly dressed. It was Daniel and Arya's wedding ceremony.“Rachel” I heard a familiar voice call. It was Davina. “Wait up,” she said, running over.“I didn't expect you to be this early, aren't you supposed to be in bed by now” I joked taping her.“It's ten in the morning, just in case you didn't notice,” she replied, her lips curled into a bright smile. “This place is beautiful”.“It’s beautiful, right? I know I did it all by myself to make up for how I treated Daniel and Arya yesterday” I smiled as I waved to the visitors who paid their respect.“Wow Luna, this is so lovely” a lady shouted coming towards me with a huge smile. I and Davina exchanged glances wondering who the woman was.“It's so beautiful, I heard you headed all the decorations yourself” she smiled as she stared at my baby bump. “Oh my Gosh, I haven't seen the kids since when the queen was
AUTHOR'S POV.“Ladies and gentlemen the moment you have all been waiting for, I present to you our Alpha and his Luna with our three most favorite triplets in the world, please welcome Alpha Axel and Rachel” Davina shouted as the door opened revealing Alpha Axel and Rachel, behind them were maids who carried their triplets.Alpha Axel and Rachel walked into the hall majestically as they locked arms together, the whole hall filled with applause as they walked in, flowers and petals were thrown on them as they walked on the red carpet.“Rachel,” Davina shouted as she ran to hug her. “Congratulations, you are now officially the Luna of this great pack, you have given them three heirs at the same time, I am so happy for you”. Davina laughed as she held her hands.“Thank you so much sis, I love the decorations,” Rachel said as she glanced around.“I think that should be me, you should be thanking” Sam appeared from the back as she hugged Rachel, her face etched with a bright smile. “Congra
ALPHA AXEL'S POV.I ran inside the cottage as soon as I broke the door, my face flickered with shock as I saw Stephen holding Ardolf's head. I clenched my fists in anger, as tears brimmed in my eyes, I couldn't believe both my mother and brother were killed by the same people.“How dare you?” I shouted angrily as anger flared up in my veins. “You are indeed a monster,” I snapped.“Oh, you mean this?” He scoffed, raising Ardolf's head. “I thought you might want it as a gift” he chuckled.“Enough” Rachel commanded, her voice laced with venom as she walked in. “He is mine” her voice mixed with Mira's.“Rachel…” Stephen scoffed. “I heard you lost your children, I am so sorry for your loss” he scoffed. “Vampires were never my favorite, I had always hated them” Rachel eyed as she walked closer.“Bitch” Stephen cursed as he ran to Rachel, pushing her out the door and they both landed on the ground. “You shouldn't have” Stephen shouted as he tried choking her.My eyes opened in alarm and I t
AUTHOR'S POV.The evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky, the sky was ablaze with the fire of the setting sun. The forest was filled with the sounds of chirping birds as they flew around the forest. The air filled with smoke coming from the chimney of a small cottage in the forest.“I can't believe Athena's dead” Ardolf's voice echoed through the forest, his voice laced with venom as he slammed his fists into the wall. “What are we going to do? He shouted at Stephen.Stephen immediately burst into laughter as he stared at Ardolf. “Athena brought this on herself, I warned her but she didn't listen to me and she met her demise as a consequence” Stephen scoffed.“I told you to wait, but none of you wanted to listen, Stephen just has to let his greed drive him in pursuit of the last piece of artifact, Ardolf desperately wanted the throne and Athena wanted revenge…” Cara paused as she glared at Stephen. “Sounds
RACHEL'S POV.I woke up with excruciating pain in my head, I could hear high-pitched ringing in my head, I slowly opened my eyes, and I was in a room. “What happened?” I muttered as I tried sitting up, “How did I get here?” I asked.“Rachel, are you okay,” Alpha Axel asked as he helped me up. “Are you okay?” He asked, his voice laced with concern.“What happened?” I asked as I scratched my hair in confusion. “ Why don't I remember anything?” I scoffed.“You don't remember anything?” Alpha Axel asked as he stared at me, his brows furrowed in curiosity.“I remember running with…” I paused as my memories started flooding back, my eyes widened in fear as I remembered we had been attacked by Luthus. “You don't need to stress yourself,” Alpha Axel said as he held my hand with a reassuring smile.“Luthus,” I said. My heart hammered loudly in my chest. “Luthus attacked us” I revealed, fear etched on my face.“And you killed it, you killed Luthus” Sam revealed as she walked closer. “You kill
AUTHOR'S POV.Alpha Cole and Alpha Axel sat quietly in the room, Alpha Axel's face etched with a mixture of seriousness and concern. Alpha Axel was brows furrowed in confusion as he thought about Alpha Cole's revelation, immediately they heard a scream followed by the alarm bell.“What was that?” Alpha Axel asked as he jerked up, exchanging glances with Alpha Cole. “The alarm bell” Alpha Cole answered, his brows furrowed in concern. “It seems we have an intruder,” he explained.“Intrude?” Alpha Axel asked, his mouth fell open in disbelief. “Could it be Stephen?”.“No, Stephen knows better than to attack the Whispers in their territory”. Alpha Cole explained as he walked out, Alpha Axel followed him outside quietly.Alpha Axel and Alpha Cole walked out quietly as they searched around for any suspicious movement. “Let’s go to the gate,” Alpha Cole suggested. “We need to know what is happening first,” he explained.“I need to check if Rachel and Davina are safe,” Alpha Axel said and ma
RACHEL'S POV.“Are you sure of what you are saying?” I asked as I stared blankly at Arya, I couldn't believe Athena was on the train.“I saw them talking but that was before Alpha Cole came” she explained.“But Alpha Axel didn't tell me anything,” I said as I bit my lips, fear and anxiety etched on my face.“Maybe he didn't want to make you worried,” Arya said, immediately opening the door, revealing Sam.“We are under attack” Sam revealed as she hurriedly walked towards us. “We need to get you to safety”.“But we just got here,” I said, exchanging glances with Arya, as I gasped for air in fear.“Luthus has penetrated the palace,” Sam said as she dragged me, Arya followed behind.“I can attack it, I think I know of a stronger spell”. Arya revealed as she trailed behind us.“Should I remind you that the Whisper pack and black witches do not get along?” Sam scoffed as she led us to a dark passage.“I grew up with Teresa, isn't she the black witch that works for the Whispers, I can pose

I shrugged. “She wasn't saying anything meaningful, she just kept on blabbering about how she is a victim and how she will take revenge” I scoffed.“We are here” he paused as he turned to me, his face contorted with seriousness. “My father hasn't yet approved of our alliance, so please do not do anything to annoy him” Alpha Cole warned before opening the door.The door opened revealing a bright room, the room had a very pleasant scent, it was filled with different shelves that contained many books, and a wine bar was located at the side. The room was etching with luxury.“Welcome home so
ALPHA AXEL'S POV.I slowly turned my head as I glared at the lady, my fist clenched as I gritted my teeth, fire evident in my eyes. “Athena” I muttered angrily, my eyes started glowing as my claws grew longer, I was ready to attack. “You finally showed your face,” I scoffed.“I have always been by your side, sometimes but you never noticed,” she laughed.“It is good that you finally came to see me because this time I can finally kill you for good” I glared at her, but immediately my face flickered to shock as she burst into laughter.“Axel you haven't changed, you are still that boastful and proud shit but somehow you always look charming unfortunately I have changed, I have become stronger than you could ever imagine” she scoffed, her voice laced with pride.“I had always hated you after I knew you had become a vaewolf, I couldn't believe you would stoop so low, and now I just feel pity” I shook my head in disappointment, my voice laced with pity.“Don't you dare pity me” she snappe
AUTHOR'S POV.“Are you ready Rachel?” Alpha Axel asked as he approached her, carrying two bags filled with his belongings.“Almost ready,” Rachel answered. “I can't believe today's the day to travel to the Whisper pack, what do you think the Whisper pack would look like?” Rachel smiled as she folded her clothes neatly and arranged them in a box.“I don't know but all I care about is for you to be safe, and to bring Brandon back and finally get rid of Stephen, Ardolf, Athena and Cara” he explained, gritting his teeth, “I would be waiting for you outside,” he said and walked out. Immediately the door opened and Lucien walked in. “Rachel” he called, his face etched with seriousness and remorse. “I heard you guys were leaving today, is it safe for you and your babies?” He asked, his voice laced with concern.“It's fine, we don't have a choice,” she smiled. “What are you doing here and where is Davina?” Rachel asked as she locked eyes with him.“She was coming with me but I told her to wa
