Everything was rushed having not had the luxury of time on our side. Though I knew it was Vanessa that stabbed me her parents couldn’t be sure, when they investigated, they couldn’t catch any scents other than mine and Athena’s so without proof nothing would be done. Alpha Jake was able to secure us a last-minute invite to Vanessa’s ceremony under the guise we were happy for her having been accepted. We would be staying in the pack house due to Athena being an alphas daughter so getting to Axel shouldn’t be to challenging. If we were under the same roof as him, we stood a better chance. Alpha Jake said the layout of the Gemstone pack house was vastly s

Axels POVIt had been one long arsed day consisting of patrol duty and now I had to sit through dinner with every alpha my father had a treaty with as they came to congratulate me on a mate bond I refused to accept. I’d much rather be out taking a double shift on patrol than sit next to Vanessa and my mother pretending to be happy. When I told Athena and Hector about my mother’s branding, I wished I’d told them the truth. As far as they knew the brand was still in place. I didn’t agree with my father on much but when he said not to let a single sole know of its removal, I whole heartedly agreed which in turn led me to allow my mates believe it remained.Walking back through the pack house I headed straight to my room in dire need of a shower. I was covered in thick dry mud and had little twig pieces along with leaves stuck in my hair among other places. Counting my lucky stars that I reached my room without running into Vanessa not wanting to spend any longer in her compan

Athena’s POVDinner had to have been the most awkward thing in the entire world. Whoever had done the seating plan clearly didn’t realise my sister and I couldn’t stand each other. As you could guess we had been seated at the same table and let me tell you we could literally cut the tension with a knife. Also sitting at our table were two other Alphas who had bought their betas and their Lunas. Whilst the Alphas were four bourbons deep into their conversation I sat there quietly listening to snippets of the conversation between the Lunas and my sister that I was pretty much forced to sit with. Mingling had never been a strong suite of mine preferring to stay silent and observant, you could learn a lot about someone if you sat back and listened. l had always lived in the shadow of my sister, Vanessa fitting in to any crowd she came across like it were effortless. In between feigning participation in the Lunas conversations, I hadn’t

Axels POV Ten minutes had gone by, yet Athena hadn’t returned. Fear and worry swirled inside me; my thoughts went straight to Vanessa as she was also conveniently missing. Looking over to Hector I could see worry and pain written on his face telling me something was definitely wrong. Standing up I asked Hector to join me for a private word, I needed to know what was going on. “Where’s Athena, I haven’t seen her in a while?” I knew something was wrong but needed it confirmed and Hector was the only one able to do that. “I don’t know but something isn’t right. I can’t… I can’t feel her. I can’t feel the bond. I know she’s alive otherwise I would have felt her tether snap. She wouldn’t justblock herself like this not after everything she’s been through” seeing him worried like this had my stomach doing back flips. All I wanted to do was comfort him, to show him he wasn’t in this alone, but I couldn’t. There was

Vanessa’s POV“I will do it” those four words were like magic to my ears. I knew he was only doing it to save Athena, but I didn’t care, I was getting him and that’s all I wanted; well until I knew Hector was my mate. Once marked I would have Hector taken care of, so I didn’t need to worry about him.“Prove it. Take me here. Take me now in front of Athena. I want you to prove to Athena that she can’t ever have you, that only I can make you feel like a man” I was extremely confident within my own body, most wolves were. If he meant what he said he wouldn’t care who was watching.“Let’s go back to the pack house and I will give you all I am. I will give you my mark and I will give you me. You have won Vanessa, do not punish your sister more by making her witness it”“I don’t think so Axel. For all I know you

Hectors POVI had spent over an hour searching for Athena with no luck, even through the bond I felt nothing. It was if a barrier was preventing us from connecting with one another. When Axel disappeared, I knew something was seriously wrong, he wouldn’t have not come back knowing our mate was missing. I had this disturbing feeling in the pit of my stomach that told me either Vanessa or Axels mother were involved. If that was the case Athena was in serious trouble and needed to be found asap. Athena had grown in strength since her wolf came that much was obvious by the way she carried herself alone, her entire aura had changed it was stronger more confident. Even if she hadn’t noticed,
He’s My Mate Chapter Twenty Four
Athena’s POVTo do what he did, to sacrifice his chance to be with his fated mates and tie his soul to my sister, there was no doubt whatsoever in my mind that he meant what he said. Every fibre in my body believed him, it was this precise moment I realised how rational my decision to reject him was. I should have heard him out, I should have known there was a reason behind a future alpha doing what he had done. Though I never would have guessed his mother branding him. He loved me and marking Vanessa was his way of not only apologising for everything but proving that one statement to me. My heart fluttered as it raced, those alluring brown eyes and his voice that sent the swarm of

Axels POVMy skin blistered and burned as Alpha Jake continued his interrogation, I knew why he was doing it for I would have done the same. After what Athena had been subjected to, he needed to be sure that I wasn’t just another bully in her life. Had I a daughter I’d be just as ruthless if not worse. Alpha Jake could torture me to his heart’s content for my answers wouldn’t change. I loved Athena and I knew with all my being she felt the same. If I could have turned back time I wouldn’t have even breathed in Vanessa’s direction, but since I did more than breathe her way Athena was right to reject me. I know I hurt her, and I will forever hate myself for do

Vanessa’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, I realised I was home, back at the Moonlight pack I could sense it. I wasn’t however in my room nor was I in the dungeons. I was in a room I’d never seen before; it didn’t have windows and the door looked to be reinforced steel. Deciding to try my luck I gripped the handle hoping it wasn’t locked but it wasn’t only locked it also contained silver which burned the skin on my hand leaving the impressions of the groves in my skin. How did I get here? I thought to myself, the last thing I remembered was being taken down by Beta Benson. The only way they could have known where we were was if Axel had told someone. I didn

Hectors POVMy hands clenched my chest. My heart soaring with pain. Axel had been gravely injured and our bond to him was fading. Athena was on the floor her mum taking Roman as she began to thrash in pain. The look on her face said all I needed to know. We were running out of time. Axel was dying. Forcing the bond away was just enough to dull the pain enabling me to move. Crawling over to where Axel laid unconscious a sliver knife sat embedded in his chest. Feeling for his pulse it was there but it was getting weaker by the second. Silver was fatal to us and the position it was in made it impossible for me to remove.“Come on let’s get him to the hospital” Alpha Jake and my father were at my side in a heartbeat. Both helping me to my feet before picking Axel up. The fighting had stopped, the rogues running away as their leader met his demise. No-one chased after them, my mate was every ones priority at this moment.“My darling oh my goddess” my mum cupped my face tears falling from he

Axles POVMembers of my Gemstone pack were arriving today excited to see Athena take over as Alpha. She more than deserved it. Still to this day I’m both thankful and blessed to have a mate as kind, forgiving and strong as she is. Athena had been put through the ringer more times that I could count, yet each time she beat the odds and came out with her head held high. I knew I didn’t deserve her, nor did I deserve Hector, yet they loved me unconditionally. The day Roman was born, I barely made it to the hospital in time. I had been so stuck in my downward spiral of regret that I shut everyone out. My daughter didn’t know who I was which I knew was my own fault, and it was also my father’s birthday. It wasn’t until one of the omegas came flying through the door that I realised why my phone had been constantly ringing. I had never felt so scared as I did the moment, I ran through those delivery doors. Athena had tears streaming down her face while Hector sat next to her nursing what look

Athena’s POVOne Year Later“Come on we’re going to be late” My words were rushed as I threw the changing bags into the boot. My parents were throwing a party for Layla as she turned one today, and we were going to be late… again.“We have plenty of time, stop worrying” Hector came up behind me placing a kiss on my cheek before getting into the car. Checking the children were strapped in their seats properly I got in beside him. Lately we were always late which really irked me, I was someone that liked routine though lately I didn’t even know what that was.“Please tell me Axel will be back in time. I haven’t heard from him” The day I killed his mum he left for a few weeks and truthfully, it did us all good. We needed time and space and he knew that. He knew I wasn’t just going to roll over and forget everything that happened. That I wasn’t just going to forgive him, and he accepted that. When he did come home however, both Hector and I were waiting for him. Our relationship isn’t perf

Athena’s POV Magic zapped through the air. The more they used the harder it became to breathe. Their standoff was still going, each of them proving just how well skilled they were. The heat in the room was becoming unbearable as all their spent energy made the air heavy. Axel had created a sword made of fire, he slashed and swiped it towards his mother but even for an older woman she was quick. I wanted to help him but the more he channelled the weaker I became. I may hate him at the moment, but I didn’t want him to die. No. I wanted to make him suffer, to grovel and then I would decide whether or not I wanted him.I was snapped back to my surroundings when Axel cursed. His own flame sword embedded in his stomach. He tried to pull it out, but it wouldn’t budge, his mother laughing as he struggled.“Silly boy. I have more power than you could possibly fathom. Each one of my ancestors passed their own power down when they died and as a result, I’m the strongest yet. Throw in the perks

Athena’s POVI couldn’t help the chuckle that left me when Axel singed Aunt Marie’s fur. The growl she gave him really did cheer me up. I could feel his hesitation about being near me, but truthfully, I was grateful he hadn’t left my side. As much as I’d hated to admit it, I felt safer with him. Everything moved so quickly, more and more portals began to open allowing more wolves to enter. We were surrounded. Axles pack warriors had been blocked from the pack house with some kind of barrier spell. My mum and dad’s wolves were fighting side by side the entire time. They were the ideal couple, something I had hope me and my mates would one day become. They loved, moved and fought as one. Axel was fighting in human form as Thor had retreated following the death of my sister, though he was able to use his fire element to take out the odd opponent here and there. If he could take them down safely that was without burning the entire place to the ground. With us stuck in here that would be a
He’s My Mate Chapter Fifty-Five
Axels POV The moment Hector drank from the bowel I felt a tether stronger than the mate bond snap into place. He was now connected to me in every possible way. I was pissed off immensely, I had told him not to do this and by the sounds of it, Athena had too. Harnessing too much power at once when your not used to it can be dangerous in more ways than one. Some the power kills, their bodies unable to control and contain it, while others become power mad like my mother’s bloodline. Hungry for more that soon channelling wouldn’t be enough. They would want a permanent fix, whereas the channelling would only last while our blood was in his system. This meant he would only have twenty-four hours before the spell was over; that’s if he could survive. “How do you feel Hector?” Jakes voice held a worried tone, he had watched him grow from a boy to a man. If something happened, it would be heart breaking for him to tell his parents. Hector didn’t answer, instead stuck his arm to the side allo
He’s My Mate Fifty Four
Hector’s POVI knew I was hard on Athena, but I needed her to understand the seriousness of her actions. She had always been the more sensible out of us so to see her make a split-second decision like that, it was terrifying. It wasn’t just her life she was now risking but that of our pups. If something happened to either of them it would finish me. Axel had been distant since he returned. His pup placed in the children’s ward at the hospital as he refused to bond with her. Everything had turned from bad to utter shit. We were avoiding each other even though we knew we needed to be together to accomplish what needs to be done. To harness the power of my mates it would likely kill me, but that was the duty of a silver wolf. To protect the gifted wolves. I had blocked out the emotions of my mates, their feelings blending and merging with my own it felt like my head would burst.Knowing we wouldn’t have long until the evil bitch reared her ugly head again, I headed to Axel’s office. I kne

Athena’s POV The moment I walked past my family and mates my stomach began to churn. I had killed my sister, the baby in which shared mum’s womb and the girl I was once inseparable from. Though those memories now replaced with nightmares. She had been my biggest tormentor, the one to make me hate myself the most. Rounding the corner, I could hear Axels screams as the mate bond he had with Vanessa snapped. I had forgotten he would feel the pain of her death, though a small slither of me felt he deserved it. I remember Uncle Nick telling us how it felt when he lost Aunt Marie. He said the pain was so intense he felt as though he couldn’t breathe. That every part of him ached, his heart broken, and a feeling of emptiness consumed him. It wasn’t something he had ever wished on anyone, except the man that took his mate from him. That’s how I felt about Vanessa. She took everything from me, my mate, my chance to give him a first born and a love that would have been epic. The mate bond kept

Athena’s POV I wake as if it's an emergency, as if sleeping had become a dangerous thing. My heart beats fast and there is a buzzing in my brain that sends electric pulses through my body as it replays the last few scenes from before blacking out. I had been bitten by a vampire then the witches, they were chanting but I couldn’t understand what they were saying, I knew it was Latin because of the dialect but I didn’t know the language. Sitting up and looking around I had been placed back in my room. Had they not learned I wouldn’t stay put? Not when my pup was the target. Walking to the doorway I stopped in my tracks when I hear the muffled voices of both Hector and my mum. I tried to listen in but only managed to pick up fragments of their conversation. What I heard sent a pang of pain to my heart. Axel had been intimate with Vanessa before knocking her unconscious. The worst part was that he done a bodge job of a c-section to remove the pup after finding out her pregnancy had been m
