Chapter 67 – I Am No Princess
Antheia’s POV
The town was busy as we pass by. There are men pushing carts, lifting several boxes, children running around, and women trying to chase them down and scold at them. I saw a couple at the side road with a baby on the woman’s arm, and they are both smiling at the little child. And the thought came in my head again, reminding me of what Raven said before he left.
Once he comes back, will I be ready then?
The answer to that is very evident, the fact that I have to question my self’s preparedness is an obvious sign that I am not.
I am not sure if I should be glad or not, that Raven is currently away right now so I could have time to think about it. Sure, he is not forcing me nor pressuring me
Chapter 68 - Symbolized By This RingAntheia’s POVI helped in cleaning the bookshelves that are not being used at the moment. At this time of the day, there are already people who are coming in and out of the library building, doing their tasks, borrowing books, and staying inside to have a more peaceful environment to study in. After meeting Tanya’s daughter Timmy, I also met the other workers here in the library and learned their names. And that meet and greet and a bit of chit chat lasted for like two hours or so because by the time that we had actually started to get to work then it was already past 11 AM, and in the next hour we will have our lunch break again.As I do my work I somehow always catch where Yael is, still looming around, though trying to blend in with the other clients of this library, his bulky feature and rough appe
Chapter 69 – In Heat: Her Chasing GameAntheia’s POVNext day and Alpha Raven is not yet around, he has not arrived with any of the pack warriors yet, and there was still no news about their mission. I have already asked Yael numerous times for updates, it was even every hour, but still, there was none. No matter how much they try to comfort and calm me down by saying that this happens very often and the Alpha sometimes stays out for a week or more, it was not helping, it is making me more anxious.However, I am not sure if that was the only thing I am anxious at or if it was the thing that was causing my anxiety and worry, and the turmoil inside me was not calming down, and I do not know what is wrong with me. I could not talk to my wolf Finary as she was silent at the back of my consciousness however I could feel her heavy breathing syncing with mine, it was not the type of labored breathing or difficulty
Chapter 70 – Satisfying With Another ManLea’s POV“Oh my gosh, send an order to the nearby villages to send the mated former pack warriors to encounter the pack warriors who are following her. Oh goddess, goddess! If she get farther, other pack’s warriors or even rogues might caught her scent!” I uttered in worry and immediately Yael took my advice and sent my mate to carry out the order.When things like this happens, when a female werewolf goes in heat, her pheromones and scent would spread in the area reaching even a kilometer, and if it reaches the nose of the unmated male wolves they would go crazy and wild, to the point that they will be snapped out of their rational thinking and all they would ever care was to satisfy their carnal cravings, as well as for the female werewolf, she would want to be satisfied and have a very satisfying release and in most cases, it must last for multip
Chapter 71 – His Return and PunishmentAntheia’s POVThe man’s hand roam around my body, touching every curve that he can travel at. His mouth lapped on the crook of my neck, then sucking and biting my soft skin. A mated pack warrior ran towards us but I could barely recognize him as my eyes were drowsy, my eyelids closing and I am getting drown at the pleasurable friction this man’s member was doing against my burning skin.But the man from my pack who tried to reach for this man on top of me was immediately thrown away by two men who were with this man pleasuring me, I believe they are already mated since they are not craving for me. They then stood beside us, with their back turned to us, watching the people around, as if guarding us, not wanting to interrupt this man from pleasuring me.“F-ck you are so hot, b-tch, do you want to feel my c-o-ck inside you? Stretching your tight w
Chapter 72 – Marked and PleasuredAntheia’s POV“Ahh! Hmp!” I cried as another s-pa-nk came, with the sound of his hand’s collision on my skin resounding around the room.I tried to wriggle out from his grasp and but he held me down firmly.“Count. You have been a really bad little one.” He growled as another hand came slapping my b-u-tt cheek.“Four.” I whimpered and I felt the combining of pain and pleasure to my core, it was very teasing and strong, and I could feel the tip of his glory poking the cleave of my bu-t-t cheeks.“Raven please.” I said as I tried to pushed my hips back to meet his er-ection but he pushed me back down and another spa-nk came.“Five.” I breathed as I could feel it already, the bundle of nerves gathered in my lower abdomen is ready to explode. Just one more, just one more collision, one
Chapter 73 - Bruises and Love BitesThird Person’s POVMorning came and visible bruises and hand marks from yesterday and last night’s event had painted Antheia’s body. In her thighs, legs, arms, waist, and love bites around her shoulders, collarbones, neck, and chest. Her body was sore, but satisfied, no doubt of that. She was now left alone in bed, still in a deep slumber while the Alpha, although he wants to stay beside her until she woke up, he has a duty to do and somewhere to go. It is already 11 in the morning and he needs to be out there to make sure that the pack is doing all fine. Antheia stirred in her bed and felt the sore in her body, especially in her private region. Unaware of the time, she remained her eyes closed, gladly, the Alpha chose to not open the curtains and expose her to the sunlight risking waking her up. He wants her to have a good rest, he knows that her body was beaten too badly… in a good way… when she was in heat. That was not how he planned to take he
Chapter 74 - She Is And Will Forever Be“ Come in. “ Alpha Raven uttered and thus Lea did and handed a glass of water to the Alpha for Antheia to drink when she woke up. He placed it on the bedside table before turning back to Lea.“ Leave the ointments in the bathroom and fill the tub with warm to mildly hot water. You know what to do. “ the Alpha ordered and Lea immediately complied, entering the bathroom and placing down the ointments near the sink for the Luna to use later, and then she filled the bathtub with mildly hot water, the right temperature to soothe the body of the Luna. She also added some herbal liquids to the tub to help in the relaxation of Antheia’s body. And once she was done, she informed the Alpha and left the room. A nudge on Antheia’s shoulder was made by Alpha Raven, but Antheia only moved a little, not opening her eyes. “ Baby, you need to wake up now, it is already noon you have to eat. “ Alpha Raven uttered with a gentle voice and sat on the bed beside he
Chapter 75 - An Invite to RossathornAntheia’s stayed in the house for a week to heal herself before going out to work. What happened when she was in heat was never spoken about again by anyone in the pack. Men who were injured were compensated, and the enemies that touched her were dealt with. She felt guilty for what happened, but it was not something she could control. She was not that strong enough to stop herself from being in heat, nor the werewolves who desired her. It was a natural occurrence in werewolf communities, and everyone understands it, and the consequences that come with it. It is in their nature.She held a tiny bundle of tulips on her hands while she walked upstairs to Alpha Raven’s office, and without knocking due to excitement of showing her mate what she got in the foster’s village, she strode in without permission to enter- though she does not really need any permission to go wherever the Alpha Raven is. She is his gem, his precious, and love, he loves to have
Chapter 87 – Her Home and BelovedThe Rossathorn Pack easily found Mindor and extracted the truth from him. He was the only remaining person alive who knew the truth from that night Luna Elena gave birth to the successor of Rossathorn. He revealed the truth, that it was Connor who ordered him to dispose of the child, but he kept her. However, despite the truth that he kept the child alive, the Rossathorn pack did not forgive him for the life he had given Antheia, the sufferings she had to endure at the hands of the alpha of Muggar pack. They let him live and his family, but in misery. They had become low workers of the pack, working in the fields and mountains owned by Rossathorns. The fate of Mindor and his pack had been known to Alpha Raven who had once put them in misery for what they did to Antheia. But he never found out the reason why. He assumed that Mindor had a great debt to pay to the Rossathorns, and Jane indeed had done a great job of keeping the truths from the public. No
Chapter 86 - DNA Match“Elena.” Luna Elena’s father, Arnold called to her but she was not listening. She had left him on her table for a few minutes while he sorted some papers to be passed to the advisors of the pack after her signature and approval of them. “Elena, I have been calling for you. What are you looking at?” Arnold looked out the window as well when he noticed the shaken expression of Luna Elena. And in an instant, his eyes narrowed at Antheia’s back and the bold red laurel marking on her back.“Who is she? She bears the Rossathorn’s mark. I do not recognize her being a part of our family.” Arnold said not being able to recognize Antheia since it was her back that was turned to him.“She is just a guest.” Luna Elena said.“No outsider of this family bears the same mark. Where is she from? Is it real or a tattoo to mimic the Rossathorn’s crest?” Arnold inquired, also surprised to see someone with the same mark. He remembers that his wife, Luna Elena’s mother also bore the
Chapter 85 - Revealed BirthmarkJane led the way to the backyard where Luna Elena was already waiting for them and watching over Jane’s kids and two of their nieces playing together. It was just the three of them, Jane, Luna Elena, and Antheia, because they did not want to attract unnecessary attention to the young lady which may cause an uproar of speculations especially since Antheia has a resemblance to the young Elena. They wanted to investigate quietly and even though it may seem rude and unright to investigate Antheia without her knowledge, they still chose to proceed without letting her know because they did not want to bother the young lady with their speculations. Not until they have proven and made a positive conclusion. As they settled down in their seats and enjoyed their tea and salads with some light chicken dishes, the conversation was light and was mainly about Rossathorn pack and how the once barren backyard turned into one that is filled with different kinds of flowe
Chapter 84 - Invite Her“Speculations,” Luna Elena uttered sighing even though she was considering the possibilities of the things that her sister Jane had said. She rested her back against her chair and stared at nowhere on her wooden table.“Then give me permission to prove it to you,” Jane said and Luna Elena looked at her.“Sister, you already went beyond without my permission and yet now you are asking for permission?” Luna Elena sarcastically smirked. “Just for formality.” Jane replied.“What do you need?” the Luna asked.“Invite her again here. For a cup of tea perhaps?” Jane suggested“Why?”“We need her DNA, Elena. That is the most guaranteed way to prove that she does not belong to our family, or if she does. You and her.” Jane said and the Luna was about to protest again but Jane already spoke first, cutting her off.“I am not trying to put your hopes up, Elena. It is just to make sure.”“Fine. Send her an invite.” Luna Elena said.“Got it.” Jane uttered feeling accomplish
Chapter 83 - Jane’s InvestigationJane told Luna Elena what she had learned about Antheia. She did her own research on Muggar Pack, the Alpha and Luna of the Muggar Pack that raised Antheia, and what happened to Antheia before she turned eighteen. She found out about Antheia being a daughter of a slut of the Alpha of Muggar Pack and that she lived like a servant to the Alpha’s family until she was disposed to the traders which placed her in the auction where Raven had found her, which then later after a few months, the traders and people behind the auction were arrested, and punished. Jane, as a blood born Rossathorn, wherein their family and generation were known to be great spies and investigators, let her curiosity about Antheia lead her to all those information. But now she faces a dead end. She was not able to find the reason or the cause as to why Antheia bears a similar mark to a blood born Rossathorn. Jane also investigated the members of the Rossathorn family if they have a c
Chapter 82 - The Pain of Losing A MateOnce the chief maid left the room and the doors closed, Jane spoke, “You have got a pretty tattoo right there.”“Huh?” Antheia reacted, not knowing yet what Jane was talking about.“Your tattoo, at the back of your shoulder, can I see it?” Jane said.Antheia turned her back to her and fixed her robe, pushing down a sleeve to reveal the back of her shoulder which held her birthmark as she said, “Oh, this one? It is not a tattoo. I do not know. I have had it since I was a kid and I noticed that it also grew as I grew up.”Jane had her eyes locked on the birthmark, she knows it because she has it too but it was just a very little mark on her, it was also fading and not very visible, however, on her sister Luna Elena, it was located at the side of her abdomen, very evident and larger, a symbol of the first born Rossathorn and a rightful successor of the pack. “It is pretty. Is it some sort of a birthmark?” Jane uttered.“Probably. I am not sure. I r
Chapter 81 - Red Laurel MarkingAntheia’s eyes graced the portraits decorating the walls of the corridor. She does not recognize any of them yet, until the last portrait adorned with gold frames, it was Luna Elena in her middle twenties when she was appointed to succeed the Rossathorn pack and became officially the Luna. “This is Luna Elena.” she guessed and Jane confirmed.“She is. She became the Luna that day and led the pack.” Jane replied.“I did not see the Alpha of Rossathorn Pack,” Antheia asked curiously.“He is gone. His name was Connor. He died from a disease, already more than a decade ago/” Jane replied.“Oh.” Antheia thought, and a realization came into her head, “They do not have children?” she asked as she remembered some gossip she heard at the hall earlier when some people around her were talking about Luna Elena not having a child, a successor, hence the elders of Rossathorn Pack are in disarray, deciding which among the close relatives, a blood born Rossathorn, wou
Chapter 80 - Meeting Her“So, are you going to meet her or not?” Jane uttered, pulling her sister Luna Elena out of her reverie. Luna Elena looked at her and asked, “Where was she from again?”“She is the mate of Raven Lanford from Kingston Pack.” Jane answered and Luna Elena just nodded lightly before Jane led the way among the crowd toward where Antheia was rooted.Antheia smiled when she saw the approaching Luna Elena and Jane.“Greetings to you, Luna Elena.” Antheia uttered with a warm smile which the former was not able to reciprocate for she was still baffled and surprised at the resemblance the young lady has with her features. Luna Elena did not speak nor acknowledge the greeting from Antheia, until Jane cleared her throat. “Oh thank you, dear. Are you enjoying the party?” Luna Elena asked.“Yes, yes. The desserts were really great, especially the strawberries and cheesecakes” Antheia replied. And when another bowl of strawberries was being served to the table, and refilling
Chapter 79 - Luna Elena; A Glimpse of Her Past“Yes, but not Crowden, that is Raven. Crowden was away, and we figured I was mistaken to be Crowden’s mate, so he said, I could just come here instead with Raven on his behalf.” Antheia explained, as instructed by her mate if anyone asks about them and the mix up.“Oh, that is fine. The two lead the Kingston Pack side by side anyway.” Jane said and took a sip from her wine as she looked around to look for her sister Luna Elena, hoping that she was already done talking to some people.“I’m sorry, may I ask where the restroom is?” Antheia asked when she felt her urinary bladder needed a relief.“Go straight to the right, there will be a door that will lead to the restrooms,” Jane replied, pointing behind Antheia the direction of the restroom.“Thank you.” Antheia placed down the saucer and was about to turn around but stopped when Jane added, “I will wait for you here, alright? I want you to meet Elena.” and the former just then nodded in r
