Hector’s POV
Pain radiates throughout my body, my skin hot as sweat dripped off me I could feel a cold liquid being pumped into me as it burned my insides. My eyes felt heavy as I forced them to open. The room was dark except for the lamp that sat to the left of my bed along with a jug of water and a glass. I went to sit up but found myself unable, the pain was too much so I laid back down with a grunt. A long line of stitches went vertically down my chest, I was only stabbed so now I was curious as to the size of the incision. Taking a look around I was in a hospital but a fancy one at that, I was in a private room that much was clear. It wasn’t your usual sterile boring white walls bu

Axel’s POV I knew my father would have a problem with me being mated to a man yet a small part of myself hoped he could look past it and accept me. Accept me for who I am because Hector was right, as my father he should be happy because I am. And I am happy, though once the bond to Vanessa is gone perhaps, I’ll start believing it myself. For now though I just had to get on with it. My father and I left Hector in the hospital, he wanted to be discharged but I managed to persuade him to stay just until the morning. My mother was being kept in the alpha suite and heavily guarded. She was his mate, so he didn’t want to have her put in the dungeons, so being as this was a magic free are
Athena’s POVMy heart broke for Axel, his father had made the heart wrenching decision to end his own life in the hopes of taking his mate with him forcing the bond she created between their son and Vanessa to break; only he failed. Once marked the high priestess should have felt pain so excruciating as the bond between herself and her mate snapped that it should have killed her, but she hadn’t even flinched. She didn’t love her mate if she had she would have at least shed a tear but nothing. No emotion towards her husband nor to her son as he cradled his father’s motionless body. She didn’t remotely try to comfort him, no instead she smirked. She smirked as if what she had just witness
Athena’s POVI didn’t have time to admire the newfound strength I felt flowing in my veins as Hector dropped to his knees a scream shaking the ground as his arms stretched out either side of him. I moved to help him, but the Beta restrained me which confused me.“He must do it alone. Your assent may have been painless a gift given to you by your great grandmother, Hector however won’t be as lucky. This is going to be his most painful shift yet, worse than his first. We must prey he survives it for others in history weren’t as lucky” I wanted to fight against his grip but found myself rooted in place at his words. Why was this happening to Hector and what did he mean by others in history? He clearly knew more than he was letting on however I couldn’t dwell on that, not yet. Through the bond I could feel Hectors pain like it was my own, only it was more of a dull ache for me. I felt the burning sensati
Vanessa’s POVLoud bangs erupted from outside followed by high pitched screams and roars. Something was going on and for once I was glad to be locked in here. I had spent the last twenty-four hours cuffed to the bed on bloody bed rest to prevent miscarriage. Something that wouldn’t have happened had Athena stayed away from my mate and not gotten into his head to make him doubt my pup’s paternity. I’m not stupid I know my days are numbered, but when I get my chance and I will, I will make that bitch pay. Twin sister or not I fucking hate her. Not a day goes by that I don’t regret saving her when she was attacked by them rouges. I should have left her there in
Hector’s POV The moment we arrived back at the pack house the fear on everyone’s faces was evident. Something was going on and I knew Athena had noticed it too. The way they looked at Axel in his wolf form was almost un-nerving. It had me wondering how often he actually lost control, as by the looks of their faces and the fear radiating from them this had been the first time any of them had witnessed it. The Beta had warned us against Axel, he made it sound as though he was dangerous, and people got hurt each time. Yes, his pack members seemed to fear him now, but they never showed it before last night. Axel’s father had constantly told him he needed to rein in his anger, to not let it get the best of him yet when he did lose control no-one was hurt. Had he lost control numerous times as we were led to believe then surely, he would have done so before now especially with all the shit Vanessa caused. Thor had kept any damage to a bare minimum the only place tak
Vanessa’s POVThis Adam had completely underestimated me, underestimated my wolf, he assumed that me being pregnant and held hostage meant I would just comply with whatever he wanted to do. Eh wrong. When he squeezed my nipple and the tear gates opened, he thought it was because I was scared of him and what he was going to do to me. Eh wrong again. Yes, he was bigger than me and had I not begun my training there was no doubt in my mind that he would have beaten me given the chance but luckily for me I’ve sparred with my fair share of beefy men. So, was I scared of him? No, no I wasn’t not while I knew Jewel was with me. The high priestess had injected me with something
Axels POV We were searching my entire pack territory for the Beta when I doubled over, major cramps forming in my stomach. The feeling of stretching and pulling just as painful as my first ever shift. I didn’t know what the pain meant but knew immediately it was to do with the pup inside Vanessa, it was causing her pain and the growing mate bond forced me to feel what she felt. I opened the bond link between us just in time to hear her scream for me before her voice fades away. I tried to force the link to re-connect but nothing, it was as if she just wasn’t there anymore. She hadn’t blocked me out I would have felt it, the same for if she had been asleep. This was entirely new and there was no doubt my mother was to blame. I had blocked out my bond for Vanessa as best I could which only met someone had forced me to feel this, to feel what was happening. Vanessa had months before the pup would be born so it wasn’t their birth I’d felt, and I wouldn’t have thou
Athena’s POV From the moment my parents arrived, everything moved forward incredibly quickly. Axel had an omega bring up some desks so we could use the lounge as an office as Axel didn’t want to waste crucial time on checking the actual office for bugs. Now, maps covered them entirely while my mates and my dad ranted on about possible locations in which the high priestess could be holding up with Vanessa. My mum several times tried to have an input, but the guys wouldn’t give her a chance which made her angry big time. I’d lost count the number of times she’d growled at him while I couldn’t help but sit back and think just how sexy both Axel and Hector looked while in full work mode. Axel was well aware that the pebbles could open a portal straight to his mum, but my father warned him against it. He said that he could appear right in-front of her then our plan would have failed before it had even begun. It was a kick in the balls for him, but he
