CelineThey say whilst on the one hand where truth can be the saviour for some people, lies can work as venom if said in the perfectly right way, at the wrong time. Vulnerability— Only thing a person can't realize about themselves but at the same time, give away the most, especially to their enemies.When I saw the unsetting gaze of Athena searching for Sebastian everywhere, I knew right away what move that'd get me the best out of this opportunity. Of course, my deep-rooted hatred for Sebastian and the want for revenge can never make me let go of my guards even for a second, I knew where he was cause his own trusted fellow had sold his loyalty long ago. From watching my family get destroyed in the hands of that demon Elijah's hands to standing up on my own feet to seek my revenge, I have seen it all, the best and the worst but the burning flame of vengeance had never lessened, how would it? That bloody Sebastian was still alive, perfectly fine!But not for long, I'd seen his restless
SebastianThe room was a mess, a heap of wrecked useless belongings. I broke everything I found within my reach, trying to find peace in destruction however, I felt empty. Without her, I had nothing but nothingness screaming inside of me. Each second felt agonizing and every breath felt like a burden; I was falling apart, and the shadows around me were detonating, forcing me to face the reality that went much deeper than the ferocious depth of this curse. The claws of my wolf scarped against my skin, the fangs fought to tear through, and my skin steamed as I restricted his fur from making their way through, every vein of my body was seething in the same fire I could see burning in the darkened orbs of him within mine as he stared at me through the mirror. He wanted to rip me apart and get out of my skin, tear away from me on his own and the reason was not unknown.Athena...The woman who snatched every one of my restraints and broke them into millions of pieces that I couldn't put to
AthenaFive days.It had been five days since he'd gone on his supposed business trip which was more likely a false excuse he attempted to put in front of everyone, or may I say himself, only so that he could hide from the fact that he was running away from me and the bitter truth that scared him the most. This entire situation was the toughest I had ever dealt with, the distance he intentionally set between us hurt.I was drowning in the tormenting bottomless denial that Sebastian told Celine that my sight disgusted him....But what if Celine wasn't lying? Her confidence said something else, not even the nearest bit of hesitance was there on her face when she stated those things as if they were facts.No, Sebastian couldn't have said that. The man who denied to give Celine any right over me since the first day he'd bought me when he was fully suppressed under the effects of his curse, could never tell her something like that.I was dying to talk to him but at the same time, I did not
Athena A trail of sweat covered my forehead, my heart beat like a drum ready to jump out of my chest at any time, my hands were shaking so was my breathing that could give away the storm within me the bare minimum.What if the test comes positive? I did not have the nearest idea of what I was going to do then. How could I be so reckless about taking the pills? Since my wolf did not exactly reside in my body and the feel of her presence like a shadow was all that I'd ever felt, I thought I'd not be able to bear the child of an alpha, but unfortunately, I never bothered to get the facts right.....I decided to believe my assumption that had no association with the supposed reality and what was worse is that, now I wasn't even sure if my wolf was as incapable as I'd thought she was. Perhaps, her presence could be more than just an obscure shadow and it could have been good news for me if I hadn't been struck with this unspoken validity in this kind of circumstance where my whole life wa
AthenaAfter long struggles and finding a way out of the mansion to attend the appointment, the reports I got from the doctor confirmed the unnerving truth that I was actually pregnant and if anything this final confirmation did, was making the terrible hopelessness sink even deeper, trap me in a never-ending haze of despair. This news of my pregnancy has attacked me like a disastrous storm, broke me on a level that even Sebastian hadn't managed to reach; To say, I was devastated, it wouldn't even express a tinge bit of my anguish.I was one month pregnant. For a whole month, my baby has been with me, but I didn't know. And now that I finally knew, I was drowning in guilt and remorse. I couldn't picture myself taking my child's life. I'd rather die than commit such a vicious crime."How can I let you go?" Tears freely ran down my cheeks as I put my hand over my stomach. It was only a month but I could already feel my baby's presence, "I can't..."All I could see around me was dark eve
SebastianIt turned out that I ran out of reasons to stay out of town too soon. It was the sixth day, but my control over my beast has already slipped away as if it has been years since I last saw the sight of Athena. Even without being here, she was affecting me which left me wondering in my despair how I was going to succeed in staying away from her when I have intended to push her away at any cost. I couldn't even express what I was going through nor could I, somehow, find a way out of this disastrous dilemma. I was disappointed in myself for letting myself sway away with the wave of the tsunami Athena brought into my life. I burned for her, my soul craved her presence, and my eyes were desperate to see the sight of her and have her in my arms just like...that night.It felt like....I was dying without her. When did she become my need? When did she captivate me so much under the spell of her love that I couldn't realise it even though her love was the only thing I'd ever consider
AthenaI looked at the sky, finding the endless blue of it mesmerizing and feeling drawn to it like a bird wishing to explore the depth of the beautiful white clouds floating freely over it as if it was their own safe territory they set high above, forbidding everyone who planned to invade it. My emotions were not a mess but whatever their state, it turned out to be one of the biggest mysteries for me to solve. I was unable to decipher my feelings but to say the truth, I was reluctant in trying to put them in place anyways.For the first time in all these months, I felt one less burden hanging on my back that would have eventually dragged me more down to the pitfall I have been trying to escape. But this wasn't the relief I was looking for, and at this point, I did not even know if I was going to regret my decision over the course of time that might fly away like a stroke of cold wind.I was determined but this did not give me freedom from the guilt that was growing at some corner to
AthenaI waited hours for his arrival, deep down hoping that he comes sooner and I could end this faster. The more time passed, the more I began questioning myself whereas the truth was that I did not want any change in my perspectives and belief that took so long to build. I'd be a lie if I said that I wasn't scared at all, there was still fear living vividly within me, even though it might be far less compared to my dread of other times.I did not have any idea what Sebastian's reaction going to be after knowing about my pregnancy or if I was going to be able to gather the courage to tell him the truth at all, but one thing I knew for sure was— I wasn't going to let him cage me again. He no longer held the same power over me; The times he had had that authority was gone because now I had a reason to live.But didn't Sebastian have the right to be close to his child? Was I wrong for thinking about taking our baby away from him? I was...or maybe I wasn't— It was the least of my worri
