Athena Blackstone pov

Patting Gavin's thigh I told him that I was going to go help Henry and Dwayne with dinner.

“I will ask her if she knows anyone who would want a housekeeping job here while I am in there,” I sighed and stood to head into the kitchen.

After getting dinner finished I helped ready the dining table and told Gavin to get his parents.

“Make sure that they are dressed,” I teased and he laughed at me with sarcasm.

I headed to the hidden office and entered the still-open room to see Linda with piles of cut pieces of fabric. Her eyes met mine, and she said, “After dinner, I will need to pin these pieces on you so I can begin sewing them together.

“Okay, for now, come join us for supper,” I said softly, and she actually smiled.

“I would like to incorporate some crystals into the bodice of the gown to accentuate the lovely necklace you're wearing if that's alright?”

I reached up absentmindedly and touched the necklace as I nodded.

“I would love that,” I answ

    Athena Blackstone's pov several weeks later After the secret fitting of my finished gown with Linda, I felt like I could handle the stupid ball. The ball gown was stunning and the crystal design along the top of the bodice made my necklace stand out beautifully. The long shimmering fabric hugged my form and appeared alive when I took a turn around the room. Waves of dark champagne bellowed around my feet and it was long enough to hide my feet. I was thrilled with how comfortable it was. “This is outstanding! And that is a great compliment because I don't care for dresses,” I commented joyously. She smiled happily and said, “You will knock their socks off,” Linda praised causing me to grin. Nodding I started to remove it so she could get it packed up and ready for me to take on my trip. “Do you know if Azel is up for the day yet?” The seamstress asked me as she took the gown from my hands. “You two have been spending a lot of time together. Seems unfair since you will

    Athena Blackstone's pov The remaining days leading up to the King's Ball were filled with Gavin showing the new more mature Azel how to run certain aspects of the pack. I hadn't spent much time with my mate but was spending a lot of time with Linda and my daughter Remy who was excited for her brother. The three of us were enjoying the afternoon on the back patio. “How are you feeling about traveling tomorrow morning to upper New York? Styx said that you could visit Canada if you and Dad get a hair up your butts,” Remy suggested. “I'm apprehensive about the entire thing and hope that I can pull it off without losing my head,” I growled sourly. Snickering, Linda said, “You will be alright. I have made you a gorgeous ball gown and a few lovely outfits for you as well. You will be the bell of the ball.” Furrowing my brow I exhaled deeply. I wasn't certain that I wanted to have anyone’s attention, most certainly the high King's, but I nodded at her because she had done a fantastic

    Athena Blackstone's pov Sleeping fitfully the entire night I growled sourly when Gavin tried waking me and pulled the covers back over my head. Chuckling at me, he said, “If you want to prepare for our trip, you should get up now, honey.” Peeking at him I frowned. “I'm not going to be able to be on my best behavior, not with the night I had,” I muttered sourly yet he continued to smile at me. “Stop that, it's creepy,” I added and he yanked the covers off me completely. “I'm happy because I can finally bring my mate to the ball, Athena. I'm very proud of you and want to show you off,” he said firmly and I cocked my brow at him. “Then you are no better than King Aspen,” I huffed and he shook his head and said,” You don't know how amazing you are nor how much happiness you have given me.” Grinning slightly I climbed out of bed and patted my bare body past him to go to his ensuite. “I'm going to shower,” I sighed, and he watched me pass him with glowing eyes. After cleaning up

    Athena Blackstone's pov Once the plane finally stopped, I glanced out of the tiny window and saw guards, lots of them, and turned to Gavin with a furrowed brow. “It's normal for Aspen to have guards at his Landing strip when his guests arrive. It's supposed to give us a sense of security,” he explained, and I shook my head. “Looks more like a show of power, if you ask me,” I muttered sourly and stood shaking out my hands at my sides. Seeing Gavin puffing out his chest and his features growing stern. It gave him a fierce look I wasn't accustomed to causing me to raise my brow. “What are you doing?” I questioned him. Giving me a stoic glare, he said he was transforming himself into his kingly persona. Frowning, I shook my head and said, “You look like an asshole, and I don't care for it. It isn't anything normal that I have seen before from you and it looks ridiculous.” My wolf was sighing deeply in my head so I asked her what the deal was. “Think of it as a performan

    Athena Blackstone's pov Wondering why he wished to remain within the room. I strolled around as I thought about it while conversing with my wolf. “Perhaps Lady Lyra is a hybrid and compelled Gavin during his last visits, and a part of him remains leery of the whole situation,” she offered. Frowning, I shook my head. “She only gave me a glare when I saw her at the King's court and didn't make a big scene,” I replied. Sighing deeply, Bria growled, “They were watching your interaction with Aspen as it was highly unusual. Plus, he couldn't compel you, and I think the others were aware.” Furrowing my brow I stood near the window and glanced out at the expansive garden below. My eyes lit up at the beautiful fountain that was situated in the center but soon my brow furrowed. “Can I take Aspen's compulsion away from Gavin,” I asked Bria. She hummed and then told me that the only way to break a compulsion is by the source. Shuddering I shuffled myself toward Gavin and looked u

    Athena Blackstone's pov My eyes went to Lady Lyra grinning at me as she offered her dainty hand out to Gavin. I held out hope when he turned to look at me. My lower lip started to quiver when he stood up and said, “I will send for my suit.” My jaw tensed as I stood up and glared at Aspen. “I hope you enjoy the little warped game you are playing, but I can tell you right now I will never remain here,” I asserted and stormed out of his office only to be snatched by one of his guards and shoved back inside. “My servant will escort you to me after the meal,” Aspen said stiffly, repeating what he had told me before and I rolled my eyes. “May I leave now?” He waved his hand dismissively and I stormed out of his office. “Tell Rudik to fight against the compulsion,” I begged Bria and she sighed. “I will try my best, dear,” she replied but with not much encouragement. I returned to the bedroom and sank into the couch and exhaled deeply. I was close to tears as my mind wa

    Athena Blackstone's pov Entering the bedroom I went to the packed gown and brought it out to lay it on the bed. Frowning, since the excitement I held of having Gavin seeing me in it felt like a stake to my heart now. I shook my head. “You can still wow him, he's still a man,” Bria snickered. “He's compelled to only focus on that Lyra chick,” I growled sourly as I stripped and slipped on the amazing gown remaining completely bare underneath it. “Do you think I should put up my hair?” I asked my wolf and she said,” You can flaunt your mate mark to the king. That will irk him,” she said in a snarky manner, making me giggle. A knock sounded at the door and I exhaled sharply. “That better not be that asshole, Aspen,” I huffed and went to open it to see a small man. His eyes looked over my gown and he nodded, “Linda's work is a chef's kiss.” “Who are you?” “Oh, I'm sorry for being enamored by the ethereal sight before me. I'm Pierre, his Excellency's personal designer. He asked m

    Athena Blackstone's pov Once we reached the outside Gavin said to slow down and act casual. “Guests come out to have intimate connections. We just need to behave as such,” he panted as he squeezed my hand and pulled me closer. As the guards rushed past, he captured my lips in a toe-curling kiss that had me growing instantly damp with desire. Grinning against my mouth he asked, “I can smell your lust. Should we go to a hidden spot for a quick mate?” Running my free hand over his swollen crotch, I giggled and nodded, wanting nothing more than to have him inside of me. Lifting me in his arms, he ran through the garden, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. Peeking over his shoulder, I noticed that the guard's presence had waned, and he soon slowed his gate. Stopping at a small walled gazebo I raised my brow at him. “Have you, um, done things here before?” Shaking his head he said, “No, this is Aspen’s. No one enters this area.” Grinning smugly at him I said, “Seems like an i

    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.
