"Argh!" Groaning, Athena covered her face and turned off the table lamp. Darkness fills in the room, even though the window is open, the rays of moonlight flickering inside.A pointed sound of footsteps clicked her ears from a close distance. Dominic came back. As tomorrow was the function, he had a lot of work to do which kept him there till midnight. As she heard the sound of the knob twisting, she closed her eyes shut, pretending to be asleep. She didn't know why she was hiding from him but as the time kept ticking for the final day, her nervousness kept growing.She heard his footsteps inside the room. Amidst the darkness and silence, those footsteps and his existence were enough to give her chills. However, she remained stable on the right side of the bed.His footsteps were heard closer to her and she could feel his existence much more clearly. Her heart throbs against her chest with the burning silence. It feels so weird. She knew that he was staring down at her. Her wolf was
A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE PARTY"I just don't understand, why do I have to take a shower for a party when I already showered once?!" Athena said after coming out of the shower room with a look of irritation plastered on her face. She was already irritated because of many reasons. Starting from, she was sent to the city, among the humans to get ready. Ace was staying with Dominic. Dominic was too busy to talk to her the whole day and last but not the least, Suzanne didn't accompany her today. She was acting too cold toward her suddenly and she didn't know why."You are asking me that?! I don't understand what am I even doing here. I don't like to be around humans much. I can prepare myself just as well." Patricia said with a sigh as they both settled on the comfortable chairs, placed in front of the big mirrors.After they were done with the work for the party tonight, they both came out of the pack house to see a car was already parked outside the building, waiting for them to pick up o
The car stopped in front of the pack house where the party was held. The party was to start at the middle of the night. The timing was perfect to see the glowing full moon. "So, we get down now?" Patricia asked Justin after a few seconds of silence in the car after they reached the pack house. Many cars were parked outside the pack house which said that many guests from neighbouring packs came to witness the marking ceremony of their Luna leader. It was going to be a grand night."No, we won't until you both put this on." Justin said from the front of the car. He turned around and handed something to each of them specifically. When they looked at it clearly, they saw that it was a beautiful mask on their hands. They both looked at it with a small confusion before sharing the same look with her. "Dominic or none of you told me it was a mask party. Why do we need to wear a mask?" Athena voiced out her confusion while looking back and forth between the mask and Justin. "Oh, we didn't
"You seriously didn't think I would let YOU dance with anyone else, did you, MATE?" The very familiar man spoke up in his deep husky voice which made her stomach twist. His face was hidden behind a mask as well. She was angry at her for a few reasons. So, instead of melting away immediately like her body wanted to, she put on a cold face. She immediately tried to get away from him instinctively but he pulled her closer by her waist and that's when she noticed their position and noticed that they were somehow under everyone's attention. Not entirely but everyone was stealing glances of them.Probably they were feeling the strong aura around them which was coming from Athena and Dominic.Her hands were over his shoulder and his hands were on her waist which he was holding tightly and firmly. The sparks were stronger than ever. They were standing very close to each other as he moved both of them with the song in the background."Dominic!" She whispered his name as she looked at the mask
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's finally the midnight. The moon is shining brightly, brighter than ever. It looks like the moon goddess has descended down to the moon herself to witness today's ceremony herself." One of the elders of the region said while looking at the shining moon from the big window at the right wing of the mansion.It was true. No one has ever seen the moon glowing so much ever in their life. It really looked as if something really special was going to happen today and no one could wait to witness it. "As it's already the midnight, I, one of the board members of this region, would like to call the alpha of alphas of the North region on the stage so that he could bring our Luna Lady into the light." Another elder said as he got down from the stage to let the leader get on the stage and own it like he owned the region.The spotlight fell on Dominic as he was standing on the dance floor. Athena immediately took a step away from Dominic so that the spotlight didn't fall o
"Stop! Stop it, Dominic! Listen to me, Dominic!" Athena called behind a raging Dominic who wasn't listening to anyone and continued to pull her to the stage with him. Nobody could understand what was happening. They could understand that Athena was Dominic's mate. But they couldn't understand why she said what she said and why he was pulling her forcefully to the stage. They thought their alpha leader and Luna Lady loved each other too much to mark themselves as soon as possible. Then why was she saying something so absurd that made the alpha angry? Patricia and Justin shared a worried look with each other, fearing that Dominic was going to mark her forcefully. If he actually does that, things are going to turn really dirty. But do they have enough time to negotiate and understand what was going on in Athena's head? No! Everyone was here. If Athena rejects Dominic in front of all these people, Dominic's rank as the alpha leader would immediately be taken away from him, regardless o
"Alpha Dominic, is everything alright? Is there any problem?" One of the elders asked, sensing that something is wrong. Dominic gave a frustrated look at Athena before looking back at the elders. He couldn't think of what to do at that moment while his wolf was going crazy in his mind. "Give us a moment, sir." Dominic said to the man before looking back at Athena. "Why did you say that you were going to reject me?" Dominic asked while looking at her in confusion. He needed all the answers before making a rightful decision. "I was trying to scare my wolf. I thought if I threatened her saying that I am going to reject you, she might behave but it made her crazier." Athena replied in distress. She looked like a child who made a mistake and was waiting for her mom to scold her. And Dominic couldn't help but find her very cute at that moment. But he controlled himself at that moment and turned around to look at the elders, leaving Athena there. He was holding her hand. "Respected elde
"Who are you?" Athena snarled at an unknown man standing in front of the entrance of the living room. The man was standing with his fully armed army. From the aura coming from the man, told them that he wasn't any normal wolf. He was an alpha. But not a normal alpha as well. Someone with more power. Who was it? Everyone had that question in their minds as his presence was almost forcing everyone to bow in front of him if it wasn't for Dominic, their alpha leader's, presence. But the question didn't bother Dominic. What bothered him was Athena's tone. It wasn't her regular tone. It was harsh, manipulating and dangerous, far from Athena's soft, strong and mature tone. What's wrong with Athena? "Athena? What's wrong?" Dominic asked her with a deep frown and his question made her look at him and that's when he understood what was going on. Her red eyes with a fireball in her eyes. Her hands started to form fireballs in her fists and her canines were out as well. It wasn't Athena bu

EpilogueA FEW DAYS LATER"Dominic, do you realise that you didn't have to blindfold me?" Athena asked with a small chuckle as she kept walking wherever Dominic was leading her to. Even though she knew where he was taking her. She could feel it around her. She could breathe the air and tell where she was. She could hear her favourite tune dancing in her ear from a little distance."I know." Dominic replied with a small chuckle but still kept the blindfold on her eyes. Of course she knew where he was taking her. It was their spot after all."I know this place from the deep corner of my heart. I will always know this place in a heartbeat. Why do you always blindfold me whenever you bring me here?" Athena asked in amusement because everytime he brings her here, he does the same. Even though it confuses her, she loves the feeling everytime she sees the place after the blindfold is off. They suddenly stopped walking and she knew that they were there. They reached the place. The sound of

FOUR YEARS LATER"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR ARADIA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" Everyone sang a birthday song to little Aradia, who turned four today. Everyone was happy. Everyone was smiling. "Ari, thank everyone for such a lovely wish." Thea said with a soft smile while looking at Thea who was looking like a princess in her princess gown and beautiful tiara."Okay, godmother!" Aradia said with a toothy grin before turning to look at Nathan first who was looking at her with a teary smile. "Thank you so much, papa. I love you." She said before giving him a hug and he immediately hugged him back. "I love you too, my princess." He said before she pulled away from the hug. She hugged Justin and Patricia as well who was standing there with their two years old baby boy. Then she walked toward Dominic and Athena who were standing nearby with big smiles on their faces as well. She hugged them both together and they immediately hugged her back."Thank
THREE MONTHS LATER "I don't feel good, Suzy." Athena said in a worried tone while looking at Aurelia's flawless peaceful face. Aurelia was born with undefined beauty and they were so beautifully defined at such an age. She got blonde hair from her mother but with a beautiful golden shine. Just like her name. Her eyes are honey golden as well. They have the power of grasping everyone's attention in them."What's wrong, Athy?" Suzanne asked in a worried tone while stopping what she was doing. Athena came to visit her to the shadow eclipse pack this time as she wasn't feeling good in her pack. So, she thought a little change of air would help. Suzanne was doing some paperwork to help Nathan with the pack work while her daughter was sleeping as well."My left eye has been twitching since morning. I don't have a good feeling about it." Athena said as she clutched the pendant which was around her neck. The pendant has always been with her as far as she remembers. It gives her a weird se
A FEW MONTHS LATER "Dominic, calm down. Everything is going to be fine. She is going to be fine. They are going to be fine." Nathan said while trying hard to keep his face straight but inside he was dying of laughter."How would you know about this feeling? You don't know, so don't tell me to calm down." Dominic snapped at him. He didn't have any idea what he was saying. He was just pacing back and forth in front of the hospital room."Well, I think the worry has been messing up with your head because I became a father just one and half months ago. So, I do know how that feels." Nathan said with a chuckle but immediately shut up when he saw the look on Dominic's face. If only looks could kill!"Shut up! What the hell are they doing in there for so long?! Why aren't they coming out yet?! They wouldn't even let me go inside!" Dominic explained in worry and anger. "Don't act like you don't know why they won't let you get inside. You tried to kill the doctor. Poor guy. He didn't even d
"Why is the pack house so empty today?" Suzanne asked as she looked around the pack house and found it completely empty. No people were around. They were walking toward the pack house. "What do you mean?" Athena asked with a small chuckle hearing her weird question as they continued to walk toward the pack house."Well, it's always so packed up but now there's no people around here. Did something happen?" Suzanne asked in a worried tone, her heart was filled with an unknown fear immediately. Athena looked at her in confusion before she smiled in realisation."Oh, I totally forgot for how long you were in a coma. Of course you don't remember what day today is." Athena said with a small chuckle, making Suzanne really confused. She frowned at Athena."What are you talking about? What I don't remember? And what day is it today? And for how many days I was in a coma?" Suzanne asked all those questions in one breath before looking at her expectantly, waiting for answers."Easy there, besti
ONE MONTH LATER"Ahh… my head! It hurts!" Suzanne groaned out loudly as she slowly opened her eyes. She clutched her head tightly with one hand and used the other hand to sit up. Underneath her hand was soft material, meaning she was on bed. But the stench of medicine hit her nose and she knew that she was in the hospital or at least hospital equipment was around her.She was ….alive?She sat up completely and leaned back, at the head board. She finally opens her eyes slowly and looks around in confusion. Her sight was still a little bit fuzzy. She closed her eyes before opening them again and this time was seeing clearer. She looked around the room in confusion as it looked really familiar to her. She looked with more concentration and soon realised where she was. She had mixed feelings about this. She was happy, excited, confused and scared at the same time. She was in her room. In her and Nathan's house.So, without thinking, she hurriedly tried to get down from the bed and that'
They reached the clan of alphas within half an hour. They were divided into various teams to lead the army. Athena and Dominic weren't together at that moment. They decided to go from their elements of power. Athena was going from the lake side while Athena was attacking from the back of the mountain. The war started already but it was led by Nathan and Justin. They were leading other alphas as well but the team of Athena and Dominic didn't show up yet to confuse their enemies.Athena waited twenty minutes before exiting out the back of the mountain. Hopefully long enough for Thea to get the witches and get them captured.Each snarl and growl she heard set her farther on edge. Anxiety rooted her to the spot, while the adrenaline rush was forcing her to keep moving. It was her first time fighting officially and she never imagined that her first time was going to be a war where she was one of the leader Six months ago, she would've never imagined doing what she was doing at that moment
