Athena"You are marking her...." It was not a question, but as I let the statement out I couldn't help my agony that became visible on its own, defeating all my restraints."Yes, I guess that's not news anymore, is it?" He cocked an eyebrow.It astonished me how much cold this man could act towards me, what amount of pain he has left to inflict and how much he wished to ruin me after everything that he had done; Ironically he still got the desire to hurt me more, break me and destroy even the last few pieces I have somehow put together.How had a man so cruel and ruthless as he managed to corrupt the place in my heart? Perhaps, someone said the truth— It's the decisions of the heart that write the tale of our demolition. My heart let him in, and now, he has completely ruined me, left me so shattered that all I could see was destruction and not have the strength to show any contempt. "Why are you doing this, Sebastian? What are you getting from all these things?" I spoke, this time ra
AthenaI watched him doe-eyed, watching the rage swarming in his wavering eyes, his hands shaking and rising fury evolving pronounced in his unsteady and rushed breathing. His clothes were nearly on the verge of getting ripped as his wolf began emerging, the very faint sight of the dark fur spread through his skin and the sharp nails cut through the layers of his skin and extended from the tips of his fingers, suddenly his inhale and exhale did not sound human any more, they began to sound animalistic.It was a debate whether his wolf was against me or trying to refrain Sebastian from hurting me. The sight of his wolf was dangerous, nonetheless, facing it did not feel as perilous as facing him. At least, it did not appear as if that beast wanted to destroy me, there was no want of demolition in the dark orbs of his wolf nor was there any rage specifically directed at me; Although there was indeed an unspecified amount of anger burning in them, it was not for me; In fact, it was for t
AthenaThe past few hours were the most peaceful ones I had spent ever since I collided with Sebastian and he threw every upside down.I did not know if Sebastian was going to be considerable enough to actually arrange my departure, however, I also did not think he loved me enough to attempt to stop me or create more hindrances than he already did. Hate? No that wasn't enough of a reason anymore— He has already done everything he could do just so he could make me believe that he indeed hated me and now, I truly believed that he was incapable of love and hatred was the only thing I would ever receive from a man like him no matter how much I tried, how many times I burned to bring the light to him and what sacrifices I made just so I could call him mine.But not anymore.Now that I knew I no longer had to keep fighting. I was free from my curse— The desperate ache to fix him and bring him back— A person I only got a few glimpses of.I no longer had to cry over the filth that had washed
AthenaMy heart felt heavy; Just like the burden of the memories— The moments I'd spent with Sebastian. But what was left to do anyways? I could not just leave my heart behind, it was incredibly stupid and impossible. It was fucking disappointing to stay stuck with the truth that this heart was what keeps us alive— The same bloody organ that makes us take on the dumbest decisions ever and still stay dazed, deprived of the sight of what is right for us to do.The thing I could do was to kill the emotions of it, the sentiments that come for that one specific person only and who was he? I guess that was not news.All these things known and reality imprinted on every cell of my brain, why did it still feel like I was leaving my heart behind? And why the fuck did it saddened me when this freedom was what I had been looking for from the day I was born? Why couldn't I celebrate this blessing the one captived under his curse has bestowed upon me?Fuck it! Just fuck the concept of love— Puttin
Six Months LaterAthena"Sweetheart, have you packed the parcel yet? That arrogant bloke might be here anytime soon," Shelly's voice, draped in an extremely thick British accent like always, came floating in my ears."Almost done, Shelly babe!" I yelled out from the other side of the huge kitchen that currently had more than ten people working, putting their best in their jobs. The fresh aroma of freshly baked pastries was coasting in the air, and some of it wafted into my nostrils which I, to be very honest, did not complain about at all— The entire kitchen smelled delicious.My wolf rolled her eyes, slumping back in my head and letting me know her extreme distaste for Shelly's accent and this sight of her caused a small laugh to slip past my lips.It astonished me how my wolf could get so moody sometimes and act like those high-school mean girls— She had different moods and, today's one was one of those that have always turned out to be a hassle to handle. However, I was happy to ge
AthenaAfter the fulfilment of all the orders and finishing the work till the last bit, all the workers have begun to leave for their homes one by one. Even though today was one of those days where we had the most amount of work to be done, somehow, like some unmistakable sorcery it was also the day when we got all packed up within the least amount of time. Perhaps, it was our luck or just a bit more labour done than actually needed.So it was kind of true that some people actually thrive under pressure— And every one of my co-workers could profusely relate to that.Bidding goodbye to Shelly and being reminded for the umpteenth time of the pepper spray and knife she'd placed in my bag for the sake of my safety, I headed out of the bakery and proceeded to my apartment. It wasn't even night and still Shelly was concerned about my safety though the people here were as harmless as pigeons— Calm and quiet, minding their own business.When I'd first moved to this small town, I did not have
Athena"What are you doing here, Aaron?"He stared at me, something weird crossing his orbs giving away the signs of hesitation he attempted to cover with his best shot at acting confident despite being under the red light— Maybe he had not expected to be caught or it could be the case— He'd not anticipated this particular question. Either way, I didn't care.Sebastian's Beta following me could mean only one thing— It was Sebastian's command. And if that man could send his beta behind me, he, himself knew every detail of my whereabouts and that was dangerous for me. It'd taken me long enough to actually fit my life that I gathered piece by piece, in one place and now the last thing I wanted was to see Sebastian trampling this start of mine too."Athena, I-I...." Aaron hesitated, seemingly drowning in the misery the lack of words has poured over him."You are following me because of Sebastian's order, aren't you?" Rage crawled up my insides at the remembrance of that man invading my wo
AthenaThe soft Mistral winds blew, making their way here with the waves and disappearing into nothingness every time they came in contact with my skin. I released a low sigh, relief flooding in my veins as if the surreal warmth I could find in these cold breezes was the only thing soothing the emptiness inside me.When Aaron brought me here, I'd thought, maybe it was just for a mere second, still I'd this assumption that he'd have a lot of things to say but, it turned out that he was yet to overcome his problem to find the right words.But it seemed more as if his choosing silence for these few moments was not done for the sake of himself but for....me.Well, I couldn't complain.I'd rather spend hours looking at the view of the river than go through the conversations that only reminded me of my past and somewhat tried to push me back into the same pitfall.I wanted to move on. I really did....But everything in this universe was pushing me back to the same spot all over again.Why c
