Athena always knew something was wrong with her wolf. Not literally but she knew her wolf was a little different than others. From the time she first shifted to till the time she last shifted before her wolf was lost, she has noticed an unnoticeable change in her wolf's colour. She didn't know if she made sense or not. The first time she shifted, her wolf's colour was brown. Plain brown. She loved her wolf's colour. It was pretty common in colour but she didn't care, she felt special to have a wolf even. But after one year or so she suddenly realised how much her wolf changed its colour slowly. From light brown, it turned to deep brown. Then, over the years it turned to dark chocolate and after she shifted after months yesterday, IT WAS FREAKING RED! She was a red wolf! 'Beautiful we are, aren't we?' The familiar voice of her wolf pulled her back to the present and she looked at Lisa with widened eyes. She still had a hard time believing everything. She still couldn't believe it.
"D.... Dominic...! Dominic... Dominic? Dominic!" Athena's voice trembled as she barged into the room where Dominic was and found him lying on the hospital bed lifelessly. She felt all her energy left her body at the sight of him. Different kinds of machine and wires were attached to his body. Two big bandages were wrapped around his stomach and his chest. He looked so defenceless at that moment. The man who never let anyone look at him in the eyes and talk was laying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed for goddess know how long. Could things be worse than this?She cried out as she felt her heart breaking at the sight of him but the moment she took a step toward him, to run to his arms and ask him to wake up for her and hold her in his arms, someone stopped her by holding her arm. She immediately stopped and looked at the obstacle with dark and dangerous eyes. A growl erupted inside her chest, making the man flinch. He looked like another doctor. "Luna, please calm down." He sai
"Mommy." Ace cried out while hugging her neck tightly. Athena let out a sigh as she hugged him back, close to her heart."Ace, my baby!" She whispered out while caressing his back lovingly. Patricia brought him to the hospital after he started crying for uncountable times, demanding for his mommy and papa. Athena walked out of the room and entered a small empty room with Ace in her arms. She didn't want him to make Dominic's room more stressful than she already did. And their friends gave them privacy by not following them. They understood that Athena and Ace needed a mother and son bonding time."Mommy... Mommy, are you okay? Are you hurt? Did you cry?" Ace pulled back from the hug while looking at her with teary eyes. He was caressing her face with his small hands, making her smile at the sweet and cute gesture of her son."Oh, my baby. Calm down. Mommy is absolutely alright. See, mommy got no hurt. Mommy didn't cry as well, my love." She said while cupping his face and kissed all
FIVE DAYS LATER"How's Dominic?" Athena jumped at the sudden voice and the file which she was reading fell from her hands. She turned around and found the group standing there while looking at her in amusement. She quickly picked up the file before walking toward the table. "Well, hello, Nathan and everyone. I didn't realise when you came." She said with a small chuckle as she put the file down and leaned on the table. Everyone else entered the room and got settled on the couches. They were currently inside the office room of Dominic in his mansion. But the only difference is that he wasn't present in the room. He wasn't there to sit on his chair like a king. Even if the chair misses him, she could say that. Even though staying in this room was suffocating, it was soothing in a way as well. He spent most of his time here. His scent lingered here like a lazy season. She loved to keep herself lost here. May that be in work or in his memory."We could say so." Justin said with a chuck
"Good evening, everyone!" Athena said with a loud and clear tone while having a bright smile. She was standing on the third floor of the pack house while looking down at hundreds of pack members who gathered around in the second floor and living room. They all looked up at her with a similar smile as her."Good evening, Luna." The pack house boomed as they all wished her back together. Athena literally has to close her ears to stop her ears from bleeding. The noise was so loud but it was so heartwarming that she chuckled out in happiness. "I have never seen them wish Dominic so enthusiastically." Justin joked with a smirk, making Athena, Patricia and Suzanne chuckle. While Nathan smirked back at him. "He is going to hang you upside down from this railing for stating the obvious truth." Nathan joked and Justin's face grimaced thinking how true that was."Well, they lose their enthusiasm as soon as they look at the strict face of Dominic but in reality they love him more than anything.
"How are you Athena?" Suzanne asked in a caring tone while getting inside the living room. Patricia followed beside her and they sat on both sides of her."Not very good." Athena replied with a sigh while leaning on Suzanne's shoulder and holding Patricia's hands. They both gave her a worried look. Patricia squeezed her hands in an assuring way while Suzanne rubbed her back. They were worried for her."What happened? Are you okay? Is Dominic okay? Is everything okay?" Suzanne asked in a really worried tone, making Athena smile in gratitude. Suzanne gets worried for her very easily. "Dominic is still the same. Showing no progress at all. And about me, my wolf just returned after months. It's getting restless for a run. But we can't go on a run with the things going on. It's really stressful." Athena explained with a sigh, making them frown at her."Why not?" Patricia asked with a small frown, trying to look for the reason why she couldn't go for a run."Dominic is not well. I can't lea
"Thea? What are you doing here?" Athena asked in confusion after finding her very close friend standing in front of her and looking at her with a smirk. She shifted back to her human form after finding Thea there."Shouldn't I be the one asking you this question? What are you doing here?" Thea asked while walking closer to Athena while Athena wore the undergarments and robe she brought with her. "What do you mean?" She asked with a frown while trying the knot of her robe."Your mate is sick back there and you are roaming around here, misusing your power." Thea teased. Athena rolled her eyes hearing her."How do you know about Dominic? And what power are you talking about?" Athena asked with a frown."Did you forget that I am a witch, Athena?" Thea asked in a smug tone."Did you use your magic to keep your eyes on us?" Athena asked in disbelief but she let out a sigh after that because she didn't expect more than that from Thea. Thea was a dirty witch with nice intentions for the peopl
"D... Dominic... I...I... found a way to heal you." Athena cried out in happiness as she got inside the room and fell on the bed, on top of him. She couldn't control her happiness after finding out the way of healing him."Oh my god! I am so happy! B...but... But it needs... It needs me to mark you." She mumbled out in a nervous tone."I...I am scared, Dominic... I am very scared." She cried out softly."If... If...after waking up... You don't take your rejection back, if...if you ever reject me again... I am going to die, Dominic. I am going to turn into ashes. Did you hear me?" She asked while shaking him by the collar of his shirt. "I...I know, I trust you. Trust me, I trust you a lot. I am ready to die for you. But I don't want the death of betrayal. I am not going to get peace even after dying like that." She cried while keeping her head on his chest. She suddenly raised her head and looked at him in determination while wiping her tears away."So, at this moment, I am putting my
