Vespa

Filled with extreme fear, I rushed upstairs and burst through the door to find a chaotic scene before me. Everyone was screaming at Bella, who seemed determined not to push the baby out. Dr. Isabella yelled, "Push, Bella, push!" but she refused, crossing her arms defiantly.

Kai's eyes bulged as he shouted, "Push, you stupid bitch!" I stood frozen, hands behind my back, cursing under my breath and feeling a hardness in my stomach.

Grandma Zora threatened that Bella would spend the rest of her life in a dungeon for attempting to kill her great-grandchild, but Bella remained unafraid.

I knew I had to intervene, so I gently grasped Bella's hand and locked my gaze on hers as I pleaded, "You're risking your life to get back at me? Do you realize you could bleed to death?"

At first, she didn't respond, but then her gaze flashed with anger. She slowly lifted her head, and with a sudden, violent motion, she spat in my face. The saliva was thick and warm, hitting my eyelids, streaming

    A/NDear readers, welcome! Please note that this book will be continued in a separate book, which can be enjoyed as a standalone story focusing on Vespa's daughter. I'll be sharing up to 25 chapters here, after which I'll guide you to the new book, allowing you to pick up where you left off. Thank you for your support!Chapter OneAthenaThe witch hunters approached our front porch, and while my dad looked composed, my mom's fear was plain.She was scared for me, and I hated that my powers were a secret that must never be spilled, a hush that should be maintained around the four walls of our house. “We're sure of what we saw, Alpha. There's a powerful witch in our midst,’’ I heard one of the hunters say to Dad. He presented the evidence: a piece of lace crochet containing hidden symbols that only I knew, red and pink candles, and my small pouch of herbs I'd forgotten in my haste to flee.Mom recognized the items and flickered her gaze upward, knowing I was watching them, before comp

    AthenaMy legs trembled like soggy noodles, and I couldn't believe my eyes—my mate was standing right across me. Every other person faded into the background, and I was frozen in place, unable to speak or move. I'd always been told that, as a chosen wolf and an eclectic witch, having a mate was forbidden. The moon goddess wasn't supposed to grant me one. Mom had trained me to believe that being single wasn't a death sentence.Yet, here he was, and our connection was undeniable. I felt a strong bond with him, unlike anything I had ever experienced, not even with my baby sister Stella.I noticed a man with a dark energy aura step out of my mate's car, making my heart race. Then I took in my mate's appearance. He was tall, no surprise there as most Lycans were, and had olive skin, tethering towards brown, and dark curly hair. He looked super rich judging from his outfit and his car."Athena, do you have all your documents in your folder?" Dad asked. I turned to face him, confirming that

    CameronMy mate's confession sent my pulse racing, and I stood there tormented by confusing emotions. One of the emotions was deep fear, and the second one was my pride. No one had ever spoken to me like that in my life; everyone has always wanted to associate with me, including people I didn't want.Ever since I knew what was at stake and knew that the success of my pack and the continuity of my alpha bloodline depended on finding my fated mate, I desperately longed for one and prayed that I would find her.Every joy that I felt had dissolved into this growing fear. While leaving, she turned around and stared at me. Her eyes were the color of ice gray, and although her face looked calm and aloof, she looked like the kind of person that was striped with good and evil.Beneath the innocent persona, she was a bundle of contradictions. She rocked an ash blonde bob with bangs so thick that her eyes would have been invisible if not for their striking color.I had never been so infuriated a

    AthenaAfter a very erratic sleep that was clouded with dreams of a certain eye-catching, curly-headed boy with amber eyes and a dignified face, I woke up to the harsh sound of the morning bell. I got up with a sigh and thought of confiding in my mom, but it was hard. I hadn't even told Mia yet, and I feared that the longer I kept this to myself, the more complicated everything would become.Minutes later, the cobblestone path had students pouring out of their dorms wearing color-coded running wear. I ditched my school sneakers for my old ones because I felt more comfortable running in them. The boys, as usual, tried to outrun the girls, and it was always amusing to watch them try to assert their dominance.We jogged at first, then increased our pace to a run. The tulips, hibiscus, and roses, plus the early morning dew, gave the earth a beautiful scent. My stomach dropped with fear as I realized that Caleb wasn't in our midst, and I figured he must have excused himself from the run

    Athena I jumped straight into action, rushing towards Caleb and wondering what he'd done to deserve such bullying. We were just new students for fucks sake. Caleb wasn't as strong as his attackers, even though one of them looked thin. He was the first one I faced. "What did he do to you?" I yelled at the top of my lungs, hoping my magic wouldn't flare up. As much as I wanted to use it to show them what I was made of, I couldn't - I'd only get in trouble. I didn't want to become the school clown or an exhibit everyone, especially Cameron, would gawk at. The thin boy mocked me, and my anger hit boiling point. I underestimated him, thinking I could take him down just because he was skinny. His grip was surprisingly strong, and I had to wriggle my hand free. "Why does your brother look like a girl? Didn't your dad train him? Didn't he go through the induction process? And he's supposed to be alpha, right?"How did they know so much about us? "Mind your fucking business and leave him

    CameronAt first, I tried to deny what had happened to me, but I just couldn't. It was real, right before my eyes. Voices whispered around me, and curious eyes peeked from around the corners.My friends gathered around, trying to make sure I was okay. To them, I was the MVP on the field, and we were preparing for an inter-school match. But I couldn't explain what had happened. How could I be drinking water, and then the container would choke me? It was some high-level sorcery.When I heard Athena's brother blame her, my stomach hardened, and I struggled to breathe. Was she behind this? What powers did she have? I was itching to know. I saw remorse in her eyes, but I had pushed her to the wall. I was behind her brother's bullying, and I should have done better. "Take that phone off my face," I snapped at a boy with acne as big as bean seeds. He apologized and tucked his phone away.The coach called for order, but I was ready to confront Athena. She took a step back as I approached, sw

    AthenaI somehow managed to avoid Cameron, which sounded absurd since he was everywhere. It seemed like he'd tailored his movements to match mine. Being in the same class didn't help. I was relieved he was super popular, the student body president, and the football team captain - his hands were full.But my luck was running out. Despite his busy schedule, he still made time to make his presence known like he was saying, "You can't run away from me. You're stuck with me forever."Like in the gym, where I was lifting a dumbbell which glistened with my fresh sweat, I was grunting, and watching my reflection in the mirrored wall when I saw Cameron walk in.My body tensed up. I quickly moved to the other side of the room, jumped on the treadmill, and turned my back to him, cranking up my headset to the loudest volume.He approached me, but his friends cornered him, and I snuck glances over my shoulder. I had to give it to him - he was purposeful, and his pursuit was steady like he had a d

    Athena Alex, Caleb, and I sat together in the dining hall, listening to Mia rant about how they didn't make the cut for the music group, which I found very absurd. We sat around a circular wooden table with attached benches, and the hall was streaming with hungry students and impatient servers at the counter. "Mia, please try to eat something. We'll figure this out after lunch," I said, gently pushing Mia's abandoned food tray closer to her, knowing that she had an ulcer, which was aggravated by not eating."I'm not fucking hungry," she fired off, pouring out her frustrations on me. I didn't want to provoke her, so I let it go and listened to her go on and on in her rants, her hands occasionally pounding the table in frustration.“I'm so frustrated with this school. It's unbelievable that teachers and so-called adults are allowing students to dictate what happens. Who could have possibly removed my name and Alex's name from the list? I tried to discuss this with the teacher, but she

    Chapter FiftyAthenaFour months had passed, and the academy graduation day had finally arrived. It was a bright and beautiful morning, and students, parents, and teachers gathered to celebrate this milestone. My dad and mom were there with my sister. Uncle Zika and their wives were also present. I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my dress. I had settled for a simple blue gown that had a long slit. Mia helped me with my hair and makeup, ensuring perfect detail. Oh, and did I mention that Cameron was still alive, and Mia was engaged to her boyfriend Sean? She wore an off-the-shoulder dress to flaunt her mark with pride. I tried not to look at it because I always became jealous whenever I did. Mom and Dad beamed with pride, taking photos of me and Caleb. Cameron's dad, King Marcos, had also arrived, and when I curtsied respectfully, he smiled warmly at me and hugged me. His mom still had not been found, and some people speculated that she might have killed herself. Cameron ofte

    AthenaSex with Cameron was beautiful. I never knew it could get so addicting, and I always thought the act was overhyped until I experienced it. The more the weeks passed, the more I couldn’t get enough of him. He had complained about condoms, saying that it wasn’t like the real thing, but I would always scream at him to stop being stupid and that I wouldn’t be responsible for his death. We kept the news from our parents. Cameron’s mom had disappeared and was nowhere to be found. Cameron pretended to be calm the time we bumped into King Thor, but when he was closing off, he landed a punch on the king's jaw that I heard crack. He got a few bruises from the king’s bodyguards, but I was proud of him. The bastard deserved to be manhandled.Despite everything, I needed validation that I was doing the right thing. I couldn’t tell my mom because she would tell my dad, so the only person I could confide in was my grandmother. One of the weekends, I took a train to her house, which was close

    Cameron's POVI'd never been on the verge of tears in years. It was taboo for boys to show emotion. Lately, life has been unfair to me, and realizing that nothing could ever be okay again has made me feel like a failure. I had always thought my life was great and better than most. Now, it was clear that that was just a delusion. The fact that my parents were on the brink of divorce because my mom fucked that bastard, Thor, made my blood boil.This roller coaster left my body drained. I didn't care how stupid I looked in tears; the feelings overwhelmed me. When the first wave of grief subsided, I finally looked at Athena, who was also in tears. She cupped my chin and kissed my forehead. “Why? Athena. Why does it have to be me? First, it's our bond and the pain of knowing you and I can never be together. Now, this?”“I'm sorry,” her mouth trembled as tears streamed down her face. “It isn't right. I wish I could fix it.”She wrapped her arms around me tightly, and I held her back whil

    AthenaA crease appeared on Cameron's forehead, and he looked pinched and unhappy from my rejection. I moved my hand frequently, trying to distract myself, and thought he would understand as usual, but he seemed too defensive."It's just a dance, Athena. Even strangers dance. Things aren't that bad; please don't push it," I said, remaining calm. Cameron grinned at me, and I didn't understand why he was so stubborn."Fine then, I'm not going to ruin the fun. I hope you wouldn't mind if I danced with another girl.""Break a leg."He looked like I had just slapped him in the face, surprised by my response, but I needed to protect him from myself, even if it hurt. He turned around and left, and soon, he was dancing with a popular girl from school. Watching them felt too painful. I skipped to the kitchen and poured myself a glass of juice to distract myself.I noticed someone at the door and thought it was Cameron, but it was my cousin Alex. He smiled a little too broadly, and there was an

    AthenaI bit the inside of my cheek, feeling trapped and unsure of my options to return to school. It was easy to second-guess myself because teenagers and young adults my age were mean, and no matter how I pretended that words didn’t get to me, I knew that wasn’t true. Stepping off the plane, I hoped I had made the right decision. I flagged a taxi from the airport parking lot, wondered why they were so expensive and hiked their prices compared to regular taxis, but I had no choice because Mom had gotten me a truckload of edibles and even more for Caleb. The driver dropped me off at the school gates, and I didn’t know if it was the hopeful expectation that there was going to be a strange twist between Cameron and me or the fear that things could get worse and that I was shooting myself in the foot. My heart pounded as I dragged my suitcase behind me. I stopped when I spotted Cameron standing and smiling at me at the gate; my heart melted.Our love brought us back to each other in wa

    Cameron My gaze never left Athena. She was too startled by my bold declaration, and even though I was more uncertain than ever about what I was doing, and my dad was caught off guard by my words, I couldn’t help it. A part of me knew I was digging my grave, and I liked life too much to lose it. But at the same time, seeing Athena roused my deep affection and attachment for her. It wasn’t just about lust; there was more to my feelings. I wanted to move closer, to touch her. My pulse raced, and I felt a hyper-awareness of being close to her. Only she could cause me this mental fuzziness and the feeling of possessing her and keeping her safe.Her father looked confused. I heard his quick intake of breath. Athena stood tongue-tied, and shock flew through her mother’s eyes. I could tell my father was irritated.“What is wrong with you?” he whispered harshly, but I was too far gone. Athena looked different, skinnier than when I last saw her. She looked like someone who had been through a

    Athena The next day dragged on without much happening. Everyone soon returned to their lives, with Dad busy with alpha duties and Mom busy with work and the home front. I knew this was how it would be—that everyone would forget my predicament or soon see me as a sore loser who couldn’t overcome the fact that Cameron and I could never be together. But I was wrong. My mom had invited my grandma to come over, which was a real surprise, as my grandma was a pure witch, and it was risky for her to be in our pack. Having her over made me feel a certain type of way. I had inherited her bloodline, and with it came a legacy of pain and heartache. I didn’t know if I wanted to see her.I drifted to sleep but could hear my grandma’s voice in my dreams. When I woke up, I realized she was indeed downstairs. My parents and sister were welcoming her warmly. I remained in bed; a part of me wanted to rush downstairs and fling myself into her arms. Instead, I made my way to the window and peered down

    AthenaThe next few days were a blur of sorrow and nothingness. I struggled to remain alive and succumbed to the sadness that consumed me. I hated myself. I wished my life was over. There was nothing positive to look out for in this bleakness. My parents were concerned, but I chose isolation, finding people's words and concerns irritating. My eyes were swollen from crying, and my bed was bearing the brunt of this depression. I didn't leave it; if the poor bed could speak, it would be screaming n. I knew I would be expelled from school; that was a no-brainer. My dad and mom tried to reach out to me.

    CameronIf anyone had ever told me that this revelation would break the bond I shared with Athena, I would have never believed them because Athena seemed like everything good in my world, all in one package. I devoted myself to her and desired to share everything with her—my body, mind, and soul. I gave my heart to her to treasure with trust. We matched perfectly and had never fallen in love so quickly or completely.A wedding seemed the next logical step. I thought I would feel happy with her and that even if we encountered issues, they would be minor things with solutions.But now, my heart was shattered beyond repair. I was furious, I was afraid, and the thought of bonding with Athena leading to my death frightened me beyond measure. The hurt was raw, and the terror came gasping up my throat in a cold, panting fear.
