Athena

Till I reached his study, my gigantically pulsating heart was ready to jump out of my chest at any time.

Yes, it was no secret that I felt extremely nervous even at the sight of Sebastian but today my fear was at its peak once again and the reason was what he did yesterday. His words were still rushing in a loop at some corner of my head, no matter how hard I tried to push them back into oblivion they just wouldn't go.

After struggling for the entire time walking towards Sebastian's study, I finally accepted the fact that I had nothing to do but face it. So, I stopped in front of the door and knocked twice.

"Come in." His melodic voice came immediately.

Sucking in a breath, I opened the door and stepped into the room. My eyes took a quick look around everywhere— All the files and other documents were neatly arranged, there was black carpet covering the entire floor, the lightning was not dim; Two of the windows were left open giving a way for the fresh air to percolate the room

  • My Cursed Sadistic Alpha : Sebastian’s Curse    Meeting Them Again

    AthenaSebastian led me to the hall, partially dragging me with him as if he could sense my reluctance and it bothered him.If only he knew why I really didn't want to see anyone from that pack. Shadow pack was small, there were not many privileges that were provided and not many people in the pack too, so each face was familiar and I was sure anyone from there could recognize me as well.And the last thing I wanted was to face the people from my horrendous past. It'd weaken me and being weak was the last thing I could afford."Sebastian, can you please let me go? It's not that important for me to be there...so please." I managed to muster with my shaky voice."You don't get to decide what is important or not, you will do what I say and want," He spat, and threw me on the couch causing a yelp to leave my mouth as I landed on the surface, "Keep your mouth shut or else you know what I'd do to you.""Please listen to me once, I'd do anything you say or...""What are you even thinking?

  • My Cursed Sadistic Alpha : Sebastian’s Curse    Sweet Revenge

    AthenaOne of Sebastian's guards was quick to hand him his gun and he slowly made his way to my parents. Their eyes widened and I could see how afraid they were, it seemed like they were going to break apart in any of the next few seconds.The shaky movements of my mother's hands and her eyes taking a glance at the door told me something that had gone in her mind and she made my assumption come true when she took off to run to the doorway.Bang!The sound of the bullet being fired by Sebastian's gun was all that was heard throughout the entire hall before a blood-curdling scream broke through mom's throat. She fell to the ground, crying in pain and my eyes noticed the blood that gushed out of the wound on the back of her leg where the bullet penetrated in."It's gullible of you to think that any of you can get out of here alive," He chuckled, it was sinister, "Now decide which one of you wants to die first. I don't have the intention to waste much time on any of you, so make it fast."

  • My Cursed Sadistic Alpha : Sebastian’s Curse    His Care

    AthenaMy tears were not willing to stop. The burning feeling in my heart did not recede even for the absolute smallest amount at its finest. The torments that they put me through when they were alive did not bother me as much as now, after their death.I felt so lost. As if there was a big weight hanging over my shoulder, trying to drag me into the ground and let me out again.They were dead but those memories weren't. My whole life all I saw got was pain and misery. Never, even for once, I got the chance to smile. It was debatable whether there had been any moments that I had, where I truly felt any sparks of happiness—Maybe, the first and last time was the day when I saw Sebastian for the first time before it all vanished into nothing.There was only one question I found myself asking to this date...Why me?Why it was me against the world? Why it was me who needed to go through all of this pain that broke me, left me so shattered that finding a way to mend myself once again was n

    AthenaHe picked me up by my thighs and pressed me against the glass shower wall, the cool surface against my heated skin made goosebumps cover my entire body. He looked deep into my eyes, and his blue orbs pierced right through my soul, leaving a mark that might never fade. I slid my hand around his neck and used the other hand to grab onto his shoulder for balanceI felt drawn to him. Every fibre of my body wanted to drown in him, pull him close, look at him and notice every detail because I might not get the chance again to have him like this. So unguarded and calm, looking at me as if I was the first and last he'd ever look this way.He grabbed his thick shaft and shifted a bit away only so that he could press the tip of his cock against my entrance. A zap of shock exploded in my body and my lips parted. There was no pain today, he was not rushing anything. He was slow, gentle, and somewhat careful.He pressed his nose against my neck, before he slowly pushed inside his entire len

    AthenaThe sound of familiar footsteps and, some shuffling noises was what woke me up from my doze. I rubbed my eyes to get rid of the drowsiness and slowly sat up holding the duvet around my body. My stare automatically moved to spot Sebastian who absentmindedly tucked in his midnight blue shirt and fixed his black tie before moving to grab his Rolex from one of the drawers of his watches.He looked as if he was in a hurry. Something did not seem right, he looked so restless as if he wanted to leave soon as he could. Was it because of what happened last night? This behaviour of his was absolutely contrary to my expectation.I grasped the duvet around my body and slowly got down from the bed, the cold tiles underneath my feet made a zap of shiver run up and down my body causing goosebumps to rake my skin. I was tired, and even though this was just the start of the morning, there was no energy within me whatsoever. Yet I gathered myself and walked towards him, his attention not even fo

  • My Cursed Sadistic Alpha : Sebastian’s Curse    Problem

    AthenaI have walked into the kitchen for the first time since I was brought into this mansion, however, only to distract myself from the thoughts that only roamed around Sebastian. The encounter I had with him early this morning was still unnerving me in some manner and the last thing I wanted was to let the fear be alive within me once again.I prepared the cookie dough, my eyes absentmindedly focused on the scenery outside the window, it allowed me to look at the beautiful garden outside but that eye-catching view did not help me forget. I absentmindedly began drifting into the thoughts of Sebastian once again.Was it worth it to keep fighting or all of it was directing me to turn into a whole different person whose heart will be as cold as Sebastian's?No. I was not going to give up. What will giving up reward me? Nothing but regrets and a life that might be without pain but that wouldn't hold any meaning as well.There was nearly a pin-drop silence in the kitchen. No maids were

    Athena"Mam, Alpha has sent these for you to wear tonight." A servant handed me a few bags before she got out of my sight. I curiously opened the bags and the first thing that caught my attention was the wine-red gown. My brows rose in surprise as I looked at the gown. It was stunning— The elegant V neckline, the stones, embroidery, laces and embellishments, complimented the beautiful dress, and the side slit cut skirt made the gown look even prettier. It was hard to take my eyes off the dress yet I managed to get myself to look at the other bags.As I opened the second bag, there was a blue velvety box. I took it in my hand and unlocked it. There was a beautiful ruby necklace and earring set. It could be said without needing to examine twice that this was worth more than a fortune.I moved to the next bag and there was a pair of lace-up ankle strap high heels. It screamed the same luxury as the other accessories.The fact that he spent so much for the sake of one party astonished me

  • My Cursed Sadistic Alpha : Sebastian’s Curse    Burn

    AthenaThere was something strangely enchanting about Sebastian dressed in all black. He have worn a black suit, the jet black colour went way too good with his lightly tanned skin. The contrast hit differently. Even though he hadn't looked at me even for once since we got inside the car, I miserably failed to take my eyes off him. With his hair swept backwards and gorgeous features standing out under the faint light of the vehicle, He looked breathtaking in a way that could make anyone fall for him with just one single glance.How could someone be so beautiful and cruel at the same time?Sighing, I finally gathered the strength to look away and focused my gaze outside through the window. The ride to the venue was not too long, it took us around twelve minutes to reach the place.The car stopped in front of the gate of the hotel which looked less like a hotel and more like a palace. Sebastian was super wealthy, and of course, I had expected this party to be held somewhere fancy but t

    Sebastian"Sebastian, you have to talk to Vincent. Enough is enough; I can't handle him anymore," Athena walked into the room, her hair cascading down her waist, her skin flushed with frustration, "Moreover, we don't even have enough room for toys and dresses now. There are still hundreds of things that Asher hasn't even tried yet, but he just dropped off more than ten bags full of outfits, just now! Asher's growing so fast; he won't even get to try all of it. It's all going to be a waste. God, I can't take it!"She threw her hands over her head. In her flowy white maxi dress, with no bra on, she did indeed look tempting. It might make me seem like a complete jerk, but I wasn't paying the least amount of attention to her words compared to what I was paying to her body now.Oh, how I would love to tear that dress off of her and have her on the bed, clutching onto the sheets with her silky hair sprawled all over the pillow while with each thrust, I'd drive deeper into her—it'd be a deli

    Athena"Luna, there's someone who wants to meet both of you," the maid informed us."Who is it, sweetie?" I asked as I gently placed Asher in his crib. This was his second nap of the day, and in his soft snores, there was a hint of Sebastian. He had definitely taken after his father in terms of looks and a few habits."He says his name is Tristan Perez.""What, Tristan?" I asked, my brows rising in surprise, and Sebastian's reaction mirrored mine as he immediately closed his laptop."Bring him in," he said, “Right now."The maid promptly left the room.It had been four months since that fateful day when Sebastian, after apologizing to Tristan, me (even though I was unconscious at the time), and our newborn baby, disappeared. He had promised to return the following day, but Tristan had vanished without a trace. No phone calls, no visits, no messages, and no news. Cora had been devastated, but she eventually found the strength to move on, accepting the possibility that he might never re

    AthenaFour Months Later"Sebastian, Vincent, I need to feed Asher. You two need to give him to me, right now!" I yelled for the second time, standing at the doorway with my arms crossed over my chest."Do you want to go to Mama?" Sebastian asked, planting soft kisses on Asher's cheeks, eliciting a chorus of giggles, "We don't think so. He's happier with Daddy and Uncle Vince.""Yeah, our little fighter is happier with us than with you, Athena. You seem to bore him all the time," Vincent chuckled, gently taking Asher in his arms and playfully nibbling on his ear, "What a big boy you are, huh?!" He planted a loving kiss atop Asher's head."Yeah, Mama's boring," Sebastian joked, pretending to lie down across Asher's lap. Asher, ever the daddy's boy, leaned in and gave Sebastian a kiss of his own, complete with a cute but slobbery open-mouthed smooch. That was his way of kissing."See, even Asher agrees with us," Vincent said with a proud grin.Goodness! When I had Asher, who could have

    AthenaEverything around me felt too light, and my body felt burdened by an inexplicable weight. I was acutely aware of my own breath, the gentle touch of someone's fingers caressing my cheeks, and the faint, delicate movements of a small figure nestled in my arms.Do the departed continue to breathe? Perhaps in their consciousness, or maybe in a manner imperceptible to the living. Do the dead really breathe?Am I among the dead now? If I am, then why do I still sense that touch, one that seemed to coax my soul to the surface with every stroke? Why do I feel the presence of someone incredibly dear to me, as though a part of my essence had drawn near?Thoughts raced through my mind, clamouring for attention, until one realisation surfaced — my baby.My eyes slowly fluttered open, adjusting to the soft, ambient light. The surroundings were unmistakably familiar — our very own home, and our shared place—Our room.So....we made it?"Love," Sebastian's voice whispered beside me, and I turn

    TristanI had made a mistake. A great one. One that I couldn’t undo no matter how much I wished.Cora handed me the diary as we all stood outside the hospital. The morning winds were bitterly cold or maybe, it was just the cold within me."This is Celine's diary," she said, her demeanour different today, unlike the times when she used to follow me around in an attempt to make me acknowledge the mate bond I had been denying until now. Of course, I knew the reason—she had seen the kind of person I had become.And who would ever want to be with a man like me? Worthless.I hadn't done this right. I made Athena pay a price she wasn't supposed to pay—all that pain and suffering just to see her child's face once. She had endured too much for my revenge, a revenge I shouldn't have sought in the first place. But what else could I do? I wanted to hurt Sebastian, and she was the only one who truly mattered to him in this entire world.Celine died to save Athena. Had I made her sacrifice go in va

    Athena"What kind of sick joke is this?" Sebastian growled. "She can't even breathe, and you're asking her to push? Is this another one of your schemes to put her through even more suffering? Listen, Tristan, why don't you just leave? You've already succeeded, then just go.""Look, I'm not lying. I know I should be the last person you'd trust, but if you want to save her, this is the only way. It had always been this way.""Do you expect me to believe that? You're the one who brought my mate and child to this condition. And now, you suddenly change your mind and say you're willing to show a sick way to save her?""I don't know why I'm doing this, okay?" Tristan shouted. "I still don't know if I'm supposed to save your mate and child and give you a happily ever after when you've ruined hundreds of lives, including the one I loved. I'm not even sure if I won't regret my decision if I save her... but," his voice dropped low, "I don't know if I'll be able to forgive myself if she dies bec

    Vincent"Where could it be?!" I scoured every corner of the room that my sister had once lived in. Each belonging I touched, felt like a piece of my soul leaving my body. She had degraded herself into being someone's... object, all to avenge a duty that was never meant to be hers in the first place.I had failed as a brother. First, I couldn't save my wife and child, and then my sister— I had failed as a brother, a husband, and a father. Perhaps, at some point, even as a son, the day I emptied all the bullets in my gun into my mother's body.What else could I have done? She wasn't the mother I once knew, or maybe she never was. She’d become just a wife, a woman consumed by revenge for her husband's death, stooping to any level she could."Fuck, I need to find it!""Do you really think she wrote about it in her diary?" Cora's voice was laced with frustration, mirroring my own. Despite her wound, she'd insisted on coming with me. Seeing her struggle and fight through the pain just to be

    AthenaIn just a matter of minutes, perhaps five at most, another howl echoed from the same direction I had just fled. The urgency to rescue my child and escape intensified. The deeper I ventured, the jungle's darkness engulfed me, beyond the approaching dusk, as if the very terrain absorbed my every pawfall.Adjusting to my newfound lupine form proved challenging, despite the profound potential it held. Joy should have welled within me, had circumstances been different. Amid this life-and-death urgency for my child and me, my half-life of hell ended. The ash-hued fur now enveloping me marked my shift – bones realigning, former doubts erased. A single question remained, paramount: Can I save my baby?I did not know but I knew, I had to. No matter what, I had to.Irrespective, I surged forward with unrelenting speed, and the strength in my body grew. But the abdominal ache deepened, sapping my strides. My efforts persisted, each second ticking toward an impending reckoning. My deliver

    SebastianThere was no trace of her anywhere. Every search and every query yielded negative results.Fuck this!A bead of sweat trickled down my forehead. My heart's rhythm grew louder, each passing second eroding my grasp on composure—I can't forgive myself if anything happens to her or our child. Past mistakes already burdened me, and failing them now would be unbearable."Any leads?"."No, Alpha. No sign of her," came the reply."Then search around! Why the fuck are you calling me without anything to report? Damn it!”"Apologies, Alpha. We'll expand the search."I disconnected and flung the phone away. This situation was maddening. Worry consumed me, and Aaron's tactics, unexpected. I had misjudged his feelings for Athena, forgetting the twisted core that might lead him to harm her for his ego's sake.Damn it! I should've seen this coming. Accompanied her instead of letting her go with Cora.How could I act fucking careless?!I sped up the car, the dark night heightening my fears.
