-Knight’s POV--

And there I said it.

"Stories end that way?" she asked.

No, our story starts to that. This is not about them. This is about us, Athena. I wish to tell him that.

"Why? How do you want it to end?"

She pouted. "I don’t know. Maybe a happy ending? I hate sad endings."

I watch her face intently. We’ll make it one, baby. If only you would accept and trust me.

"So what’s your answer to my question?"

"Hmmm, if it’s alright if a wolf falls in love with me?" she thought for a few seconds. "Logically, I think no. But if I’ll go with my feelings, I think yes."

"What kind of answer is that?"

"Well, it ain’t true. But if it's true, then what’s wrong with being in love? Love should never be a sin. That’s why I don’t get why God would make that the child’s curse. Love should never be a curse." She smiled at me.

Athena, is it possible to fall more deeply? Because you’re right. You will never be my curse. Loving you will never be a curse for me. Because if that’s the case, I’ll thank t

    --Athena’s POV--I knew from the moment we came back to the city that everything would change.Our flight left in the afternoon and arrived in the evening. Knight drops me off at my apartment because he’ll be going straight to his office. It’s past office hours. I don’t know why he seems to be unable to let go of his work."I’ll call you," he said when his car stopped.I nodded and didn’t even glance at him. I got my body bag prepared to go out of the car."Athena," he called me.I had no choice but to look at him. I pretended as if everything was normal."Hmm?""I said, I’ll call you."I said, "Sure," and stormed out of the car. I didn’t look back at him.The moment I stepped inside my apartment, I immediately felt the emptiness. I sighed heavily. God. We've only been apart for how many minutes, so what's in store for the next few days?I didn’t have the time to change clothes. I slumped into my bed and let go of the things I'd been holding onto for the past three days since I'd been

    Well, I could just make excuses. But I think my conscience is full of lying. I already told myself that even before we returned here to the city, I would gradually move away from him.It's hard for me to lie to him, so if I lie to him now, I don't think I can handle it. I penetrated the sea of people. I turned into a hallway without looking around to see if he followed me or not. I reached the hallway that leads to the private rooms and rest rooms, because there were only a few people here. "I'm sorry," I apologize to those who I bumped into, even though I don't know if it's my fault.I'm in a hurry. Wearing five-inch heels, I rudely walked down the dark hallway. I just want to get away. I don't care where else I end up. I bumped into a man with two other men. They were laughing, but when I interrupted, they stopped. The guy I bumped into tried to talk to me, but two men in uniform stopped them. I don’t know what happened or who they were.I kept running."Miss, are you alright? Why

    "So let go of me, and let’s end this thing between us."His embrace tightened more. "No, no, no. Please, Athena…"Tears gushed like a faucet. I bit my lip just to stop my sobs."I’ll be good. I’ll do anything you tell me, anything you want, just not this please. I want us to work. I want to commit to you. Please…""I said let go!" I pushed him with all my might.And since he’s weak at the moment, I succeeded in pushing him. He really is weak. His eyes were bloodshot. I could see the desperation in the way he looked at me."We can still make this work, baby. I promise you. I’ll let you fall for me. I’ll do my best-""I will never love you, you understand? You will never be good to me, and so am I to you! Why can’t you just let go of me? "He shook his head continuously. "No, I don’t believe you. I might be a fool, but I’m not delusional, Athena. I felt it. The way you kissed me. The way you held me and the way you looked at me. That gave me hope. That kept me going. So I will never bel

    His place was so dark. No noise could be heard as soon as I arrived at his place. Dimmed lights, deafening silence, and the loud beating of my heart- that reigned in his whole penthouse.I silently walked inside to look for him. I scanned the whole living area and didn’t see any shadows of him. My chest got heavier. Why am I still wondering? Of course he’s not here. I should know where he is already.I’m not mistaken. When I got to the hallway, I saw the door to his room half open. A dim light was coming out of it. I pushed it slowly. My eyes traveled to the man that was seated on the single couch, and behind him was the view of the city.He’s half naked. A white towel was covering his lower body. His legs are spread apart while both of his arms are resting on his side. He’s looking like a ruthless man, very different from the man I know.With gritted teeth, I stood there watching him. I couldn’t see his face since his room was dark and the lights from behind him were not helping eith

    -- Knight’s POV--"So what now? Are you just going to stay here and let yourself drown in that sh*t liquor of humans? " Lucas stated.I chuckled bitterly. I wish to get drunk, but Lucas’ bane is disgusting just by thinking about it. This seems to calm my nerves, so this will be fine."Are you not going to go back to your place?"Right. I’ve left the penthouse for good for a month now. Which means it’s been a month now since Athena left me. A month later, when Athena decided to leave me and prove to me that she stayed in our set up for nothing but money and sex.I drank the whole bottle of liquor. If only this liquid could kill me, then I’d hit the jackpot. But no, I know what fate I need to deal with. By now, I know that no death could end my misery without getting Athena involved.But it still hurts me. I feel like I’m dead inside already. Her leaving me and hearing from her own mouth that she didn’t feel anything for me even the slightest bit. I tried, I tried hard to make her stay.

    --Athena’s POV--"Athena, please... You need to eat. "That has been Erin’s favorite line for the past few weeks. If she’s not convincing me to eat, then she’ll be saying things that will somehow lighten me up. In the end, she’ll just fail.I hugged my pillow to cover my face more. I heard her sigh and the side of the bed shifted, and I believe she sat beside me."Are you going to be like this for the rest of the time? You don’t go out of your room, you don’t eat. I'm glad you still have the initiative to take a bath. " She laughed.I didn’t answer her."You want to go to the mall later?" She asked. I bet she’s trying me with all of her cards just so she can make me socialize with her."I’m tired, Erin. I just want to rest. " I grunted."Rest? After weeks of locking yourself into the room, you still need rest?" I can sense her sarcastic tone.I sneered and turned to the other side of the bed. I hate that she knows the answer to that yet she’s still trying to make me confess."You know

    "Someone's outside," Erin said as she pushed open my door.My brow furrowed. "Who?"I didn’t wait for her answer. I stood up from my bed to see what she was talking about. I've kind of learned how to get by for the past few days. That night, when Erin cried in my arms, that became my awakening. I realized that my life doesn’t revolve around just me.Yes, I wanted to think about myself. But I think I couldn’t bare to see people suffer because of me. I don’t want to give them a hard time just because I gave them a hard time as well."I didn’t open it since it might be someone you know…" She couldn’t continue. We both know what she’s trying to say.Really? Knight would send someone after a month? Why not the day after I bid my goodbye. I came to the door and peered at the peephole.As soon as I saw who was outside, I backed out and my eyes widened. My body turned cold."Why? Who was it? " Erin held my shoulders.The doorbell buzzed again. I acted immediately. I went inside again and took

    "Your father won’t give this up, Ms. Collins."They say fate is inevitable. It’s inescapable. No matter how much you want to get away, no matter what you plan to escape, you’ll find yourself heading towards your fate.Right at this moment, I don’t know where I am going. I’m just finding myself walking and walking towards an empty and shallow future."Why? Is he still not cooperating? "Mr. Admir showed an expression of disbelief. I immediately knew the answer. My shoulders fell in disappointment. I want to get mad. But all I felt was the tiredness that was swallowing me whole."How about his health? Is there any progress? "He sighed. "You could talk to his doctor."I avoided his eyes. I don’t feel alright with his tone. I know it’s bad news. We drifted off from the technicalities of the case. Most of it, I don’t understand. Sometimes, when I hear terms that I understand, I butt in some questions that only catch my concern."But there’s a chance that he’ll get out, right?""We could j

    --Athena’s POV--"Athena! Athena! Wake up! "With a cold sweat, shaking, and a pounding heart, I woke up. I looked around to see where I was. I’m quite relieved to see the trees and hear the chirping of the birds. I might have fallen asleep here in the tree house."You’re having nightmares again?" Knight asked with a worried tone.I avoided his eyes and I sat properly. I’ve been dreaming a lot of weird things lately. It all started when my life was taken from innocence. I thought it was just a normal dream at first, but as I got older, I noticed how frequently I dreamed, not to mention how those dreams are connected, like they're a story."It’s much worse today," I whispered."How come? Did you dream of flying dragons now? " He laughed.I gawked at him. How would he react if I told him that it’s not just flying dragons but wolves that fight with swords that could kill only them? I shook my head and decided to just keep my mouth shut."We should go now. My father will look for me, "I u

It's not winter yet, yet the cold can still be felt."What is your name again?" Grandma asked the child."Knight," he answered.Grandma smiled at him sweetly. "Nice to meet you, Knight."The child simply smiled."So when are you going to go home?""Mom will pick me up. I'll call her. " He said."Why? Where was she? ""She's busy with our company."The grandmother nodded. "And how did you end up with those children?" She's talking about the children who live in the slums."I'm bored. I wanted to make friends. ""With them?"The child shrugged. "What's wrong with them?"The grandma stopped and smiled afterward. She tapped the child's head."Right, nothing's wrong with them."Grandma was surprised when the child suddenly reached out for her hand.

The old woman was speechless. She didn't even fight back or even speak."Grandma!"The old woman smiled when she heard the children approaching her. She was struggling, so these children helped her."You didn't have to push her!""Shhh, son, you don't need to bark at her." The old woman lectured the child.The child just pouted and went with the grandmother. They found their place next to an alley. They settled there."Have you eaten?" The old woman asked."Not yet.We didn't find a side line today, grandma. "The old woman smiled in a motherly way. She rummaged through her bag and brought out the few pieces of bread in there. The children celebrated and shared it in the dark night."It looks like it's going to rain, Grandma. There is no moon today. The stars are few as well. "The grandmother patted the

I said to Lucas, the beta of our pack."Grendel's pack has arrived as well."I quickly turned to Lucas. He's smirking.

In the few years we haven't seen each other, what important thing could he want to tell me? "Lucas shrugged his shoulders.I rolled my eyes. "You can leave." I ordered."Oh wow," he uttered.What is his problem this time?"Sometimes, I can't help but think that we are better off in the world of people.

    In life, you have different things you want to pursue, may be material things, events, a person, or anything. The world is made to be inconsistent, and so are we.It seems that whatever we desire, it will never end, it will never finish. We always have new wants, always have new desires. There will never be contentment.You always seem to be looking for something. You always seem to be missing something. And all this time, I always believed that we are like that because it's our norm. That we are made that way with our own differences.But now, I realized that maybe, that's why we can't be satisfied: we can't see the reason and purpose of these things.I lived in vain. My whole life seems to have been dedicated to enslaving the world.I fooled people because I wanted to help others. It doesn't make sense, doesn't it? I hated my father and ended up forgiving him. Still, it does not make sense.There will always be a twist and turn with everything; there's no consistency, because there'

    That kiss intensified. From gentle kisses, it became fiery and longing. Our lips fought. I don't know if it's because we've been through so much that we're so thirsty for each other.But the only thing I know now is that I want to make him feel how much I love him. As I've said a while ago, I want to be selfish just this once. I want to love him without thinking about anything. I want to show him how much I love him without holding back.The way he held me with care was different from his aggressive kisses. I resisted his kisses. The coldness I felt earlier now has been replaced by a warmth that caresses not only my skin but also my heart.His hands roamed around my neck and down my body. Now he is slowly getting up and positioning himself in front of me. I moaned, feeling his mouth suck my neck lightly.This scene is strange, especially in light of the past events. I loved him and it hurts me so badly.He stopped and sniffled my neck, smelling whatever it was, probably the smell of s

    We stopped in the middle of the forest. We stopped at a stone house, and it was alone in the deserted forest.I silently scanned the abandoned looking house. The floor creates noise due to its fragility. At the entrance, we were greeted by a wooden door. Knight opened it up and let me come inside before he came after me."Whose house is this?" I asked.Inside is the old equipment. Everything was there, the bed, the table, the scattered and dirty utensils in the kitchen. It appears to have been abandoned."We used to stay here when we were still young and wandering around the forest." he answered.I glanced at him. "We?"He nodded and avoided my gaze. I dropped my gaze to the floor because I got what he meant. He definitely misses his friends; not only is it obvious to him, but I know how fresh it is for him.I was only with them for a while, and just hearing their story made me sick. How much more for him? For someone like him, who had kept it all inside for so long, they are the ones

  • Fajra Meets the Alpha   The Alpha’s Grief

    I can't explain the rage Knight showed seconds after Meshka was caught and killed himself in front of him.His naked body flexed in the cold night. He walked back holding his head, controlling his anger, but he couldn't contain it. He walked back and forth, continuously roaring and shouting his anger out.I covered my mouth with my hands to stop the sound of my sobbing. My eyes blur as I watch him become miserable.He had the choice in his hands. If I were in his position, I would be able to kill Meshka because of my anger. But he didn't do that. He was his friend, and for sure that's what was on his mind as well.No matter how evil Meshka was, he never wanted him to die. He wanted peace. He wanted to sort things out without bloodshed. But things didn't go his way."Fuck! Fvck! Argh!"I sobbed, seeing him that way. He punched his chest, grabbed his hair, and roared loudly until he shifted into his wolf.My eyes, although they were blurry, were still able to comprehend what was happeni

    It's so ironic. On a cold winter night, my father saw Knight in the woods, here in the same place, and he saved him. That started the curse.The moment Knight left his pack, the curse materialized. My father was sent to prison. I had to find money. Peter found him and made him our target. I met him in a bar. Something happened. I fooled him. No, I fell in love with him.And I can't believe that it's all meant to happen. I feel like I'm being played with. It's not good to feel as if your life was a joke or something. It's like you're in a show and someone is controlling your life.Imagine how frustrating it is for Knight, especially. For sure an alpha man like him would be under someone's verdict and desire. For sure it was hard for him.What he said was true. If we kept on running away, it would never end. The same things will occur consistently. Bree died, and so did Ulva. How many lives must be lost before all is at peace? One's life in exchange for everyone's life? Am I thinking ab
