AthenaWhen I woke up I found myself on the bed alone. The rays from the sun were responsible for waking me up.Yawning I rubbed my eyes to wipe away the drowsiness and got down from the bed. My mood was not as heavy as all the other times because last night had not been tough for me, everything that'd happened was within a limit and that is why I have not woken up with a huge weight over my chest and terrible memories.The only unpleasant thing was the dream about my parents. It was basically a flashback of what they'd done to me and sold me to those auctioneers just because I did not have a wolf. But on the brighter side, I actually got to feel my wolf nowadays, and it'd only happen when Sebastian would be around me, his presence triggers my wolf's emotions. However, I was still not sure how I got out of that dreadful dream, but I sure felt a soft caress in my sleep; The warmth of someone that helped bring peace to my soul.Shrugging my thoughts away, I freshened up and took a qui
AthenaOn my way to my room with thousands of different thoughts bombarding inside of my head, I accidentally bumped into the last person I wanted to see—Celine.Her purse fell from her hand and I stumbled backwards."Ugh! Can't you see where you are going?" She groaned, bending down to grab her purse and collect her belongings that fell I did not bother to pay more attention to her and attempted to walk away. Having a conversation with her was the last thing I wanted.But then suddenly I heard her muttering."Fucking slave."My feet stopped on their own, my fists balled up to my sides and I turned around instantly, "What did you just say?"She stood up straight, grabbed her purse and looked at me, "I said exactly what you have heard.""It's rich coming from a woman like you when all you do is suck my mate's dick and run here and there around him like an obedient dog would do for his treat," I crossed my arms over my chest, "So it's better for you if you keep your mouth."Her face tu
AthenaThe night came sooner, and my thoughts went louder and louder. Sebastian still hasn't come.I was worried and mostly scared, I did not know where he was or what was he doing. There could be so many dangers out there and he could get potentially hurt.Minutes that passed soon turned into hours and the night advanced into its darkest duration.And finally, after what seemed like an eternity, I heard the familiar heavy footsteps before the door opened revealing Sebastian.He was here but not exactly in the way I have expected, he was injured. More than just injured.There was blood seeping out of the wound on his palm, a big cut was there on his forehead, and multiple injuries covered his arms; His shirt was all torn and shredded as if he'd just come from surviving a storm. "Sebastian..." A worried gasp slipped past my lips on its own and I rushed towards him."Oh my god...you are injured," I began panicking, I'd never felt this sort of restlessness like I felt today watching thi
Celine"Yes, I have sent the money to him. Hopefully, it'll be enough for the next few days, I'll try to arrange more before I can send it once again." I told her on the phone, being careful to not speak out loud even though the door was locked. "Sebastian's not really coming to me, nowadays, most of the time he'd be around his damn mate or in his office, I'm not getting the chance to ask for his credit card, that's why I'm unable to arrange the amount I was supposed to."I could not risk anyone hearing me especially that fucking Sebastian Valdez."You know the amount might not be enough for him, especially after the destruction Sebastian made at his hiding spot. He can't stay there anymore.""I know, but Vincent shouldn't have tried to pull such a stunt when he was told to stay underground after our last plan failed. Why did he even plan something like that with that stupid guy whose mind only revolves around money? He could have just asked me about it," I let out a frustrated sigh,
SebastianI slammed my fist on the desk unable to focus on anything other than the face of the one woman— Athena.It was not supposed to be like this, I was not supposed to be thinking of her all day long. There were so many important tasks for me to fulfil and here I was, sitting here for the past few hours and looking at the scattered papers in front of me, yet not being able to figure out why was I exactly doing this.However, it was unavoidable to not of her when it was about her safety that concerned me so much.Motherfucking Vicent Thompson was trying to hurt my mate. That bloody bastard!Even though our enmity started because of his want of taking revenge on my damn father which to be honest I thought was fair but over the years I have gathered enough reasons to kill this guy. I'd never killed any innocent...in my perception. People's views and mine were different. How could someone be called innocent if they are willing to lie to cover up their misdeeds?Loyalty is rewarded b
AthenaTill 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
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? In
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."
