Athena's POV

As I slipped on my robe, the soft fabric caressed my skin, providing a small comfort amidst the turmoil that consumed me.

With each step, I could feel the weight of betrayal and humiliation pressing down on my shoulders.

The cabin house was quiet, the air heavy with the scent of pine and solitude.

I made my way to the patio, seeking solace in the cool night air and the familiar embrace of smoke.

As I exhaled a puff of smoke, my thoughts drifted back to that fateful day, six days ago, when Alpha Axel left me standing alone at the altar in front of the entire pack.

We had been through so much, our relationship strained by his past mistakes, but now he was here, offering a genuine apology. "Racheal, I'm truly sorry for everything," he began, his voice filled with sincerity. "I should have listened to you, trusted you more. I let my pride and the expectations of others cloud my judgment. Will you please forgive me?"I looked into his eyes, seeing the remorse and love reflected there. Taking a deep breath, I nodded and replied, "Axel, I forgive you. I've seen how much you've changed and how hard you've worked to set things right. We all make mistakes, but it's how we learn from them that truly matters." A smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and in that moment, I knew we were on the path to healing.
