ATHENA’S POV

My mind became alert, and I felt my hand twitch. I hadn’t the slightest idea for how long I had been asleep, but everywhere hurt. I was tired and a few seconds awake, I already wanted to go back to sleep.

There was a lot of chaotic noise in the background that made my head bang. I started to get worried, not expecting that I would get memories from the time I lost my parents. It was something similar and it made my heart drop.

I had forgotten about the reason I was on the bed and without even realising I was already on the edge of the bed, I stood to my feet.

I should have known that I didn’t have strength in my legs as much as I used to. I wobbled my way out of the room with my heart racing seeing as there were people running here and there in panic.

It didn’t take long for me to realize what was going on. I spotted one of them and from the scent too, I could tell it was a rogue attack.

I felt adrenaline pump through my veins and I pushed myself off the wall. Something b

    NERO’S POVIt didn’t take a genius to know that these rogues were the same Zavier and I arranged to have Athena handed to. And when my eyes met with the Leader, I thought he could be reasoned with, that was until I got to know what he did.I should have known that Athena’s return would make him desire revenge. Athena didn’t tell me all that happened that night, not that I gave her a chance to explain how she made it out and away alive. But maybe if I had known, I would have been able to do something about it.If I had known that his son tried to rape her and she managed to escape, I would have killed him a second time for touching her.“What a hypocrite.” I heard my wolf growl at the back of my mind. “What did you expect was going to happen when you agreed to give her up as a breeder?”I hated when he his points made me feel like the bad guy. And seeing as I have had a change of heart, I really did outdo myself each time.This time I was hell bent on ensuring her safety.But no matter

    NERO’S POVAthena was still fighting for her life and it was safe to say that I was an asshole. I was still seated on the floor, waiting, hoping and praying to the moon goddess – an act I hadn’t done in a long time – that Athena would make it.She has to make it.Silver was no joke, and if I hadn’t made it get into her system on the day of her whipping then this would have been a much easier healing for her. But now that the doors were shut, there was no way to tell if the doctor has found a way to stop the bleeding.Tears continued to flow from my eyes, each bead holding the regret that I now carried. I should have known that my want for her was much deeper than having my face buried deep between her legs.And she tasted so fucking good I want that for the rest of my life.I heard footsteps, urgent and angry ones make their way to where I was seated.“Get up!” my mother snapped, pulling my arm. “You don’t get to be here, you do not have the right to, especially not when you have made

  • Arranged to the Alpha Prince   Holding a Grudge

    NERO’S POV After the doctor left, my mother made sure I was put away. I was made to stay away from going close to her or even getting a glance at her. “I don’t trust you not to kill her while she’s unconscious.” She had said to me while I begged for them to let me see her. It was on me, I did this to her and now everyone else knew she was not safe around me. While we all waited through the night, my mother and a few maids walked in and out of the room. It worried me to the point where I couldn’t sit and do nothing. I pulled one of the maids aside and demanded an explanation. “The Princess is still trying to fight off the rest of the poison in her system. She has high fever that’s why Luna demands that we bring bowls of cold water so that her body can be wiped with a cloth.” The night passed by slowly but Athena made it out. I didn’t sleep a wink, I just couldn’t get my eyes to close when I knew that she was still in a critical stage. Plus, I wanted to be the one awake when day fin

  • Arranged to the Alpha Prince   The Truth

    NERO’S POV I was so close to ripping Zavier’s head off for the words he spoke. Not just because he was bold enough to speak them but solely because I knew how much of a twisted prick he could be. He could be planning to sneak into the room she was in with the intention of ending her while she was unconscious. I couldn’t let that happen. “I’m not going to lose her again.” I said to myself on my way back to the pack. I had two new missions in mind and they had to be done right away while the rest of my plan would wait until she was awake. First, I needed to have her protected at all times then I would tell my Father about the heirloom. I walked through the Palace gates with intentional steps that were ready to make a change in mine and my wife’s lives and headed for the throne room. I needed to see my Father as soon as possible but not as his son. When I got the throne room, my Father was seated with a few council men. They seemed too busy and didn’t notice me on time. Good, everyo

    NERO’S POVThe guards stared at me like they were doing something wrong and they felt guilty for it. While I walked freely to the cell myself, they refused against my wishes to lock me up. Instead the door was left open.I sat in the cell with my back leaning against the bar. While my eyes glued to the wall Athena was chained to, I couldn’t help but recall the words I said to her. How broken she looked when I told her the cost of stealing the heirloom, and how she was a lowly thief.I was an idiot.Right then I struggled with knowing she was there yet I had let my mouth dig an even deeper hole for myself. How she must have felt alone with no one to talk to or even confide in when I did things to her. Sure, my mother stood in as hers but that couldn’t have been the same with having hers.I’ll never make you feel like you’re alone in this world again, Athena. That I promise.I was making a lot of promises, but I was determined to keep them. This time I was going to keep them even if it

I was unable to open them or move a muscle in my body.All that I could do was strain my ears and I heard chatters around me, some audible and the others muffled. It made me wonder what was going on. For some reason my heart started to race and I didn’t know why. Something about the noise felt oddly familiar and not in the good way.When I managed to force the eyes open, my fingers and toes twitched at well. I saw that I was back in Nero’s room.

There were so many questions I knew that he wanted answers to and for the first time in a long time, my father and I were finally having a heart to heart conversation.Zavier should have been the one I should have spoken to about this, maybe even include my father but he was such a messed up fucker to even listen to a word I would say to him about my feelings changing for Athena.Well he knew, that I understood but not my father. And I knew he was going to give me the best advice if I needed him to.“I’m sorry but you’re going to have to talk plainly son.

The same word had a lot of meanings that were now dear to my heart like she was.It meant her personality, the one that was brave enough to love for as long as she did, holding on to her feelings hoping I would understand the truth and fall for her. And now I did. I fucking loved her more than anything in the world.It also meant her beauty, one that took my breath away each time I looked into her eyes whether she had makeup on or not, close to her or far at a distance. It hooked me, every single time.And if I was being truthful to myself, I could say that I was attracted to her when we first got married, I was just too bitter to believe or admit it.Athena walked into the room and I couldn’t help but feel jealous and proud at the same time. Jealous because every man and woman stared at my wife, but proud because they too could see what I saw in her and what I was seeing on her appearance.This

    ATHENA’S POVI was startled awake by the noise around. It wasn’t that kind of noise – one with the screams and death, but it was one that was loud enough to have me wondering what was going on.After my work out session at the training field and my conversation with Nero’s Mother – more like she spoke and I listened – I spent the entire night barely able to sleep.I had never felt disappointed at the people who raised me but I couldn’t also deny that I was. Their act reminded me that I was not their child and for that I missed my parents dearly.I slipped out of my covers and swung over my legs till they touched the floor. I stood up and made my way out of my room, rubbing my eyes from the sleep I barely got.As soon as I opened the door, I met with the corridors being decorated. It was pretty but it confused me. “There’s going to be a ball and you’re attending.” The Queen’s words rang in my ear and I groaned.But maybe I could escape during that time. Maybe I could find a corner to h

    CHANGE OF POVAlpha King Leon sat on his bed unable to sleep. He was filled with worry he couldn’t help but feel. Not to mention the guilt that was eating away at his soul.Its all my fault. He had said to himself severally as he felt that it truly was.Beside him in bed was his mate, his Luna Queen. She too was quite with her own thoughts, ones that drifted to her daughter now daughter in law.“It’s not your fault Leon.” She voiced out of nowhere, having heard his thoughts, the ones she had noticed had bothered him for a few days. “You couldn’t have known she was going to jump in and save us.”He sat upright from the position he was leaning into the bed on. “But it is Olivia, can’t you see. All I had to do was grant them the divorce like they both wanted.” He rubbed his temple, feeling a wave of dullness rub through him. “If we had gotten them divorced, they both would be living their lives separately. Athena wouldn’t be in so much pain because of us.”The Queen nodded, agreeing with

    ZAVIER’S POV My house was a wreck at this point but I didn’t care. I didn’t now, I wouldn’t later. “That son of a bitch ratted me out. Now I’m a fugitive!” I growled feeling the heavy weight of betrayal press me down. How could Nero stand there and watch his parents declare that I be arrested? What sort of friend was he? He hadn’t shown up at the house in a few and after our last conversation, I grew worried that he meant what he said about me letting my hate for Athena go. And how I was supposed to stay away from her. Somehow, he forgot what she had done and the promise that he made to both Zara and I. Somehow, he wanted me to just trust that he was now a changed person and I was supposed to believe him. It was hypocritical what he was doing. And I resented him for it. “What am I supposed to do now?” I groaned to myself, wanting nothing but to finish what we started. Or what I thought I wanted us to finish. I hated how I was jealous of him. I truly was. He was my friend and I

    NERO’S POVIf I had felt a tug in my chest when Athena told me she hated me in the past and I didn’t care about it, it meant a great deal to me this time.She hated me, but why wouldn’t she after all hell was the only thing I made her go through, in the one year we had been married?She wanted me to stay away from her and that’s what I did or I tried to do. The last thing I wanted was to annoy her more than I already was so for the first time I listened to what she wanted, but only for some time.The night passed on, and a new day came. I wasn’t excited for it except that it was new and I could spend it finding ways to fix my mistakes.I concluded my morning routine in a hurry dashing out like a man late for an appointment. I made it to the breakfast table before everyone and seeing that, I waited for her to show up.Half an hour later, my father and mother showed up, hand in hand whispering to each other like they hadn’t literally woken up in each other’s arms.They were mates in lov

Somehow, the garden had new additions to it and it made it even more beautiful than I remembered it.While I enjoyed the view, I couldn’t help but feel sad that I wasn’t around to help with the change.I loved gardening, but no one knew that. The one time I had come down to it, Nero saw me and ordered that I never step foot in it ever again.What would he say if he saw me right now? Would he think I was tainting the beauty of the scene here?I took in another breath, releasing it about the same time my mind drifted to when he hugged me upon knowing that I was awake.That action of his was strange to say the least. I wanted answers and the Queen didn’t seem ready to answer my questions and I didn’t know why.Maybe if insisted she would have told me. Maybe that’s what I needed to do.I walked around the garden some more, letting my hands touch the flowers that bloomed a
