Athena

My heart threatened to collapse with panic as I rushed back to the dormitory, grasping the sides of my head and trying to regain control. I couldn't believe what I had just done.

Surely that oak tree I levitated had crushed that fool's brain to powder, but I had to defend that innocent girl. I couldn't just stand by and watch him assault her. Still, the adrenaline that shot through my system made me feel as if I was choking, unable to get enough oxygen. I felt like throwing up and hoped no one had seen me.

I reached the dorm and slipped in through the back fence, using my powers to levitate myself over the barrier. I made my way to my bed, threw myself onto the mattress, and covered myself with the blankets.

I couldn't stop shaking. My body trembled with the aftershocks of what I had done. I felt a heavy sensation of power running through my veins, but I didn't want to live my life like this, killing people. I didn't want to be evil and get used to the feeling of bloodlust. I w

    CameronAthena's body was the most supple and the softest I'd ever touched. She moved seductively, grinding rhythmically into my fly with each thrust and the sensation overwhelmed me. I was going to burst a fucking nut.Even though we weren't technically together, I still couldn't resist her. As much as I wanted to, I decided to wait until she was ready. She'd be mine after all and I didn't want to scare her. My breath grew ragged as I had my way with her. This was right. I slapped her ass to watch it ripple and ground my erection against her backside“You like this, don’t you?” She teased running her fingers along my arms as she swayed against me. “Yeah! Fuck yeah,” I grunted, moving to the beat of the music. Our hips bumped together and the heat between us intensified. Our hands found each other and danced intimately. My heart pounded furiously as she pushed herself against me, grinding to the beat of the music.“You’re a hot, sexy goddess. I want you to use me as your toy all ni

    Athena's povThe students in the chemistry club were energized with excitement, their eyes sparkling and gleaming as they climbed aboard the long white bus heading to Valley Pelt for the annual chemistry competition.Luckily, the death of that abuser was swept under the carpet, and they blamed it on natural causes. He was buried immediately, and I felt a bit sympathetic for his poor wife, who was going to bear the brunt of widowhood and raising kids all by herself. I went down the bus aisle and spotted Cameron, who had reserved a seat for me in the back. I couldn't stop smiling and felt a flutter in my heart. The social night was wild, and I still couldn't believe what I had brought myself to do and the huge risk I was taking. But it's been five days now, and Cameron was fine."Are you always so hyper when you see me?" I joked when we sat together, surrounded by the rustle of bags. The chemistry fair was going to last for three days."Yep, I love being with you," he said shamelessly,

    I sat on the floor, surrounded by the familiar comfort of my dorm, while Mia sat on my bed, helping me stretch my hair with a wide-tooth comb and oil. We won the chemistry fair with a landslide victory and returned with joy. Mom had always been the one to take care of my hair, spoiling me with regular treatments and styling, so it would take some time for me to develop my hair care routine. I closed my eyes, loving the sensation of Mia's fingers on my scalp."So tell me, did you fuck Cameron?""Ew! Why would I answer such a personal question? And why would I even do that? That would kill him!" I retorted harshly at her, turning around to face her. She was laughing."It's not funny!""But you love him, and I can tell you've messed around with him. You're unexplainably happy these days." I sighed and turned away, knowing that she was right. “Of course, I love him. He's my mate.”"Ouuu! Love that for you!" Mia clapped."Stop being ironic. You know this is all a bubble that will burst on

    CameronI felt light and relieved, and every tension was released from my body when Athena was declared innocent and Jennifer was made to look like the big bully she was. Athena didn’t seem as excited as I was, but I could see the release of all tension on her face and how she briefly closed her eyes and exhaled quietly."Seriously, Marcus, you claim to be my friend, yet you cannot even defend my daughter," Jennifer's father, King Thor, said to my dad with a menacing look on his face. His eyes were filled with hate and accusation. Sometimes, I don't understand why my parents could not call out this man's bullshit and cut him off from our lives; they treated him like he was God, and it irritated me so much.He and his silly wife kept on trying to gaslight my dad and kept hammering about all the good things they had done for us, yet we repaid them by stabbing them in the back. Dad remained calm and gentle, trying to reason with them."You're my friend, Thor, and I have no ill intent tow

    AthenaPanic, like no other, took hold of my body. I cringed as the sound of the door banged shut, and my chest felt as if it would burst. I thought my dad would expose my secret when Cameron confronted him. I couldn't bear the thought of it, and I had never seen Cameron so mad. He barged out of the office, and I excused myself and began running after him."Wait up!" I called out, with my boots thumping on the pavement. He was walking fast and had left the administrative building, heading towards a tree. I finally caught up to him and turned him to face me."Cameron, please don't be angry."He threw his hands up in the air. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't be! Why are you and your dad making this more difficult than it should be?"I swallowed hard, and my eyes watered. Indeed, this was harder than I expected. It felt like I was hurting Cameron. Even when I tried to touch him, his body was unnaturally stiff, and he forced himself to maintain eye contact with me. He seemed betrayed.

    AthenaI woke up in an unfamiliar room and looked around. Then, when I saw Cameron's hand resting on my body and his face serene and asleep, I smiled. I stared at him, taking in his handsome features. He seemed so calm, and I wished things would remain like this."Oh shit!" I exclaimed. It was 6:30, and I could not leave the boys' dormitory because the staff members would have resumed their duties, and the boys were outside. I didn't want to start any rumors or speculations."Watching me sleep is sexy and creepy," Cameron stirred in his sleep and opened one eye. "I love it.""Why didn't you wake me up to leave last night? How am I going to leave the hostel now?" His hand went over to the nightstand beside him, and he checked his watch, then started laughing."We're stuck. We'll have to wait until the dormitory clears out.""It's all your fault! I wanted to leave last night, but you didn't let me go, and now we can't leave until class begins.""I don't mind," he said, trying to cuddle

    AthenaCameron's mom disliked me—no surprise there. I would feel the same way if I were in her shoes. I felt so stupid for coming here. What was I expecting? That she would accept me with open arms when I was her only solution, yet I stubbornly refused to help them. My eyes welled up, and my vision blurred when I saw his dad with an eye patch sitting on a chair while a doctor applied some ointment to his eye. Cameron had said his father's eye was getting worse because of the weakness of the stone. I never knew how severe the situation was until I got here.Surprisingly, his father remained kind to me, thanking me profusely for coming to his home. His mother seemed to be judging me for not sealing the bond and bringing their family out of this mess. She didn't seem generally bad, but I knew we wouldn't get along. There was something about her that I did not accept, and I had a solid, discerning spirit and could sense her resentment toward me. She would never accept me. To avoid disc

    I stared at my mom's face. She looked physically stressed and rubbed her temple while taking periodic deep breaths. She had called me to speak with me about Athena, and all her fears and criticisms about Athena were unfounded. The other time, I caught her hiding behind a pillar, watching me and Athena, and even though I had seen her, I pretended not to notice. She had reservations about Athena. Athena didn't mention it, but I could tell there was an energy shift when she talked with my dad versus when she had to speak with my mom. "I don't have a good feeling about her," Mom told me in a serious tone. "She looks weird, and why would she not want to be marked? What lame excuse has she been feeding you and your father?"I found my mom's dramatics amusing and chuckled. "She's not comfortable with it yet. We should give her time."But Mom wouldn't let up. "I don't like her. She seems like a problematic person who is hiding something big. Wake up, see what's happening, and don't be blind

    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.
