Athena Blackstone pov

Giving him a raised brow I leaned toward my mate and asked him if he was jealous of the younger man.

Snorting at me he growled, “Certainly not!”

Nodding, I said, “Don't be; Anton was one of my top students. I used to train the guards at my former pack and taught him since he was a youngster.”

Grinning like a goof, Anton said, “Yeppers, that's who I am! Athena's TOP student.”

Rolling his eyes Gavin apologized for thinking we were a thing and asked me if he was going to transfer to our pack.

Shrugging I mumbled, “Perhaps you can ask him if he wants to.”

Seeing Anton’s head bobbing up and down I giggled.

“Guess that's a yes, which is fantastic since Hazel is mates with your Beta. I will have all my dear friends close to me,” I said cheerfully but then frowned.

“Can we find Justine? Could she still be camped at the same location?” I asked Gavin as we continued toward his pack home.

“Hey assassin, can you transfer yourself to people by seeing their

    Athena Blackstone pov “How did he find her so quickly,” I questioned sullenly. “Styx has a direct line to the rogues, and once he got the whereabouts of your pup, he went there immediately and demanded her return. At least that's what the couple told me,” Gideon said. Rubbing my eyes I exhaled deeply and said, “He believes that she is his mate. How can he assume that without her reaching her maturity,” I growled. “Maybe he felt a connection with you and figured that your daughter would be his,” the assassin said reluctantly, causing me to glare at him. Henry, Dwayne, and their daughter Sally were approaching us, and Henry was wringing her hands nervously. Shoving her daughter forward she told her to tell us, gaining both our attention. “I'm giving my resignation, I will be working with another female starting immediately,” Sally stated firmly. I looked at Henry, and she waved her hands before herself and said that she and her husband were staying. Nodding, I side-eyed Gavin,

    Athena Blackstone pov After showing Henry, she was twirling Remy around the kitchen, and said, “I'm so happy for you and Gavin. Your pups are adorable! Um, where is his Highness?” Telling her he was in a meeting with the mercenary Alpha, her eyes widened. “Do I need to prepare another plate for supper?” Shrugging, I told her that she could just encase, and she nodded as she handed me back Remy. “Let me get two bottles for the pups so you can feed them while I finish supper. They will have full tummies and allow you to enjoy your meal in peace,” she said softly and I thanked her. After feeding them both I changed their cloth diapers and laid them down on either side of me on the couch. “What is taking my mate so long,” I huffed and sank back into the cushions. “And what about Gideon and Anton? They're searching for the pup that's here,” I muttered in irritation. The lack of sleep over the past few days was catching up with me, and I was slowly drifting off until Gavin started

    Athena Blackstone pov I opened my eyes suddenly in a complete panic with the sun beating down on my face, and I sat up in bed. Gavin shuffled himself toward me and muttered incoherently. He was still sleeping. “Did you hear the pups at all last night?” I asked him in concern. Blinking his eyes, he yawned and said, “No, I was knocked out and slept like the dead.” Making an annoyed sound I scrambled from the bed and rushed into the adjoining room. Glancing over the mattress I moved the pillows I had used as barricades and found no pups. “They are both GONE!” I shouted out. Gavin ordered me to stop just as I was about to run from the bedroom. “Dress yourself! Do not run around in the buff when other males are staying here!” Snatching the robe from his hand I growled sourly as I slipped it on and tore off down the hall. Scurrying down the stairs I saw Henry dusting in the living room. “Have you seen the pups?!” Nodding, she simply pointed upward and said, “Your friend Anton he

    Athena Blackstone pov “What are they discussing,” I asked Gavin and he shook his head before pulling me aside. “I feel like you should play your part when we arrive at the home of Veronica and Jordan. I want you to wear a gown instead of the guard clothing you normally wear,” he said uncomfortably and I screwed up my face while giving him a sour look in return. “How am I supposed to fight in a damn dress?” I balked. Holding my upper arms he pinched his mouth and stared at me. “I don't care what you wear around here but I think you dressed up for your position will strike a nerve with both Veronica and her horrible mother. Don't you wish to rub it in that you're the queen and not her, eh?” Narrowing my eyes at him my lip started to curl upward. “I suppose that would be fun, but I will rip the dress off myself if I need to attack, so be sure to grab some pants just in case,” I muttered reluctantly, making him smile and kiss my forehead. Leaning over me he opened the kitche

    Athena Blackstone pov Getting bombarded with information, I rubbed my forehead, and Gavin asked me if I was alright. “Yeah, I am processing a lot of amazing stuff, but I don't understand how or why,” I mumbled softly and eyed Gideon, who had paused up ahead. Poking his broad back to get his attention, I crossed my arms, waiting for him to give me his attention. He glanced over at me and asked what. “Tell me why I'm suddenly inundated with all this information to fight and engage in battle,” I asserted, no longer fearful of the dreaded Moon Council assassin. Pinching his bottom lip he huffed and finally said, “I don't know. I was just asked to return the necklace to your neck. Perhaps the Goddess has plans for you.” My heart started to ache and I shook my head. “My future is with Gavin so she's barking up the wrong tree!” “Hush, female, I stopped because there's a group of rogues with mercenaries ahead in the trees,” he warned, but I watched Styx treading ahead undeterred.

    Athena Blackstone pov Changing back to my normal clothing, I passed by the full-length mirror and caught my reflection. I stopped mid-step and turned to look more closely at the necklace around my neck. Lifting my fingers to it, I creased my brow, studying the stone. “Huh, that's odd, “ I muttered. Seeing the heart-shaped stone giving off iridescent colors when I had always thought it was a diamond but this certainly wasn't a diamond. “It's a Rainbow Moonstone, the Moon Goddess’s Stone. She must have altered the necklace,” Bria informed me. “Wish you could tell me why, wolf,” I growled sourly and continued back downstairs to meet with Gavin. Getting a rush of adrenaline I stood at the bottom of the stairs and rubbed at my temple. “The mercenaries are going to join Styx?” I murmured and looked up to see Gideon and Gavin standing before me. “Good, I had hoped he could convince them to join our pack,” Gavin chuckled and glanced at Gideon. Nodding the assassin agreed. “The war wi

    Athena Blackstone pov “May I hold her,” Styx asked Anton. “Wash your hands and face first; you might scare her with all that blood,” he replied sternly, making me cough on my held laughter. Nodding his head, Styx pointed to the inside of the house, and Gavin told him to go ahead and use the kitchen sink. “He is no more bloodier than you, Anton. You shouldn't be so cruel,” I commented as he held Remy. “Got to keep the old fart on his toes,” he smirked and I wagged my finger at him. “You know there's a possibility that neither of you is Remy’s mate,” I informed him so that if it became true it would be less of an issue. Anton eyed me strangely and snorted, “Bullshit, boss.” I tilted my head and shrugged as he lifted her to look at her tiny face. “She came straight up to me. Didn't you princess,” He said with a grin. I was gobsmacked at seeing her nodding her head. Side-eyeing Gavin, I asked him if he knew if they would be talking soon. Thinking about it he said

    Athena Blackstone pov Wiping off the tears on my cheek I remained where I stood and watched Gideon take Azel from the frowning Styx. “Do you need me to pack a bag for them,” Gavin asked him. Shaking his head, Gideon explained that all their needs would be taken care of including clothing. “We haven't had pups at the council headquarters for decades, so they will be spoiled rotten,” he said kindly, and I furrowed my brow. “Don't spoil them. I don't want that, sir. Just teach them kindness,” I growled. “That's what I was insinuating, Highness. They will have all that they need, including love,” Gideon corrected himself and I sighed, “But not their parents.” Once Anton came down the stairs with Remy he eyed us all and asked what was happening now. Styx spoke up and said, “The Moon Council is taking the pups!” Holding Remy against his chest he growled. “Why?” He questioned aghast. “They're both assassins and must learn how to control their abilities,” I explained, an

    Athena Blackstone’s pov Weeks have passed, and I am overdue for my pup's predicted one month of birth. Sitting on the back porch in complete bliss I was thinking about how wrong my mother had been about men. Since being married to Gavin our bond had grown stronger than I ever thought possible. The only downside was that he knew that I was experiencing back aches and we both figured that our daughter would be gracing the world on this day. Hearing the patio door open I glanced at Gavin. “Doc said to get your ass to the infirmary,” he said firmly and I sighed as I struggled to stand up. I looked and felt like a beached whale. “She's gotta be huge considering the size I am,” I mumbled softly while waddling toward him. Kissing my forehead, he said, “You are a healthy mother, and our daughter will be healthy and strong as well. Do you want me to carry you?” I noticed that Gideon, who had remained nearby, was looking a bit distraught. As I passed him, I asked, “What is it tha

    Athena Blackstone’s pov We left the cottage and were currently on the ATV heading back to the house. I was resting my cheek on Gavin's back as he drove down the dirt path. “Are you excited to get wed?” My wolf asked me. “Sure, I will be official afterward and Gavin's Luna queen,” I answered her. “I just wish Hazel was still here to be my bridesmaid and my dad to hand me off,” I added sullenly. “Ask Anton to hand you off, or Styx and Remy and Linda can be both your bridesmaids,” Bria suggested, and I grinned slightly. As we pulled up to the front of the house, I spied a white and black speckled large owl perched on the roof looking down at us, then immediately got a chill. “Is that Aspen?” I questioned Bria and she hummed before saying possibly. Narrowing my eyes at the feathered creature, I watched it tilt its head, spread its wings, and fly off toward the forest. “Is he able to transform into anything?” “Yes, he has that gift from his ancestors,” Bria sighed and I huffed

    Athena Blackstone’s pov Waking up suddenly, I peeked over at Gavin, still sleeping soundly, and pinched my mouth from laughing at his mouth open as he slept. Moving my legs carefully from underneath him I patted my bare feet to the hot spring and grinned slightly as I lowered myself back into the hot water. I rested my elbows on the edge while I submerged my lower half. Closing my eyes as the warmth filled my leg and butt muscles I smiled at hearing Gavin beginning to rise. “You look like a siren awaiting a sailor to entice,” he said sleepily. Snickering, I told him that he was the only semen I wished for. “Hmm, interesting choice of words, temptress,” he laughed and rolled on his stomach, facing me from the bed. Looking over at him I raised my index finger and beckoned for him to join me. “If my woman wishes I will come,” he mumbled and quickly jumped into the deep pool. Watching his head bobbing up with his eyes glowing I inhaled sharply when he submerged and moved purpos

    Gavin Montgomery's pov I had been overjoyed about bringing Athena to the cottage until Gideon appeared. I knew instinctively that it was about the high king in one regard or another, and when my mate ran off to the balcony, I was told what brought him. “Aspen cannot have your daughter. You need to give up your throne, hide, and keep her away from him at all costs…besides, I think the female could potentially be mine,” Gideon asserted, and I looked at him with disbelief. “I'm not going to give my crown to my eldest. I don't know which one of the twins came first, and either way, the other one will feel cheated. Plus, I want Athena to be given the title of queen officially. She deserves it,” I huffed. Rubbing his eyes the assassin was gritting his teeth. “Aspen is a cruel and crazy fuck with too high of expectations! He will break your child’s spirit and not allow her to become the woman she's meant to become,” he stressed firmly and I gave him a stoic glare. “It's true, Aspen n

    Athena Blackstone's pov The following morning I was in a daze. Nothing seemed real as I watched my friend Hazel’s wrapped body get consumed by the flames of the pyre. I didn't sob like yesterday but tears rolled down my cheek. My thoughts were completely void of Aspen and the white wolf I had seen, and my body wasn't giving me a warning, so I just focused on what was happening before me. “She had finally gotten her happiness and it was taken from her,” I think to Bria. “It happens to all of us, some sooner than others. That's why you must live your life to the fullest and be happy,” she said softly. Seeing my mate standing with Nick, I noticed that he was looking at me with concern, and I curled my lip slightly to let him know that I was okay. “Is he still planning on going to the mountain after this?” I questioned my wolf. Silently for a moment, Bria replied with a simple yeah. Sighing deeply I hoped that it would bring me a little bit of happiness. “Life cannot

    Athena Blackstone's pov Feeling as if my entire world was crumbling around me I was thankful for Anton. When we reached Gavin's, he was wiping his eyes and said, “Stay alive, boss lady. I can't lose you too,” he said emotionally, and I nodded before giving him a motherly hug. “Thanks for bringing me home,” I mumbled softly and turned to see Gavin standing on the front porch. Shaking my head at him, his eyes filled with grief. “Is Nick alright?” “No, he is hurting,” I replied and he sighed. “Go inside and eat. You missed dinner, and the pup needs nutrients. I'm going to go help Nick. I'll return later,” he said firmly and I nodded as I stepped up the stairs. “Are you going to be okay,” he asked me in concern. Peering up at him with my reddened eyes and damp cheeks I shrugged. “I will manage. I've got family, but Nick has no one but his pup. He needs you now more than I,” I said solemnly. Kissing my forehead he told me that he loved me before rushing off to help his

    Athena Blackstone's pov An hour or so later, my family was all gathered in the living room, and Remy hugged me tightly when she first arrived. She could tell instantly that I was bothered by something and asked me to tell her. “We will in a moment,” I told her sullenly. Gavin exhaled deeply and then stood up to address them all. “Your mom and I had an issue at the King's Ball and unfortunately had to save our asses by signing our unborn pup over to King Aspen,” he said firmly, and Styx visually shuddered. “That's insanity; he is part demon, werewolf, fae, and related to Ormguddina, the snake witch, along with the high demon Mammon, who can shift into anything and is extremely dangerous,” he growled, and I eyed him, then my mate. Swallowing uncomfortably, I growled, “I knew he was odd, but it was either the contract, or he was going to kill your father and keep me for nefarious reasons.” My daughter side-eyed me with sadness and reached her hand out to me. Taking it I looked

    Athena Blackstone's pov The helicopter ride home didn't even faze me. My brain was occupied with the pup that was growing within me. “Athena, he would have killed us both. First me, then you eventually,” Gavin stated. Shaking my head I huffed and growled, “So we offered up our daughter like a sacrifice. Is her life less important than ours?!” I was crestfallen as a mother and a warrior. I'd failed and eyed Gavin critically. “Perhaps he should not be my mate. I could have been the Goddess’s warrior and not had to deal with any of this failure,” I thought bitterly as a tear rolled down my cheek. Seeing me crying Gavin wrapped his arm around me and pressed my head against his chest. “It's better to face things together, Athena and the grass isn't always better on the other side,” Bria growled in my head. Rolling my eyes I told her that didn't make any sense and continued to drown in my frustration. Once we finally landed, Dwayne wasn't there to pick us up so I just s

    Athena Blackstone's pov Time seemed to crawl by, and my anxiety over our fate increased with each second that passed. Watching Gavin taking a piss in the same corner that I had, I sat while resting my forearms on my knees, growing impatient. “When is that dick going to get here?” I growled sourly in frustration. Returning to my side Gavin said, “He is seeing his guest off since it's the end of the ball and also probably dealing with Lyra’s corpse.” Frowning, I side-eyed him and said, “Sorry you had to do that.” “Do what?” “Kill your former lover,” I muttered and he shook his head and laughed sarcastically. “She was pushing me, and I warned her to stop. If anything, the blame falls on both her and Aspen,” he asserted, and I nodded. Exhaling deeply I huffed and buried my head between my knees. Gavin placed his hand on my back and rubbed me for comfort. “I'm happy that you agreed to marry me,” he mumbled softly near my neck. Lifting my head I furrowed my brow.
