Offered to the Cruel Alpha king Chapter 128
~AthenaWe all heard that loud explosion from a distance. It could only mean one thing: they were close. I was scared to my bones. Tiny beads of sweat formed on my forehead."They are here, Richard, they are here," I panicked."What are we going to do now?" my mother asked. She was as scared as I was. But the other three, I couldn't really tell. If they were scared, they were doing a pretty good job of hiding it.Turning to James, Richard ordered, "Let's go to the penthouse and see how far away they are from here.""What penthouse? Where are you going to?" I called after him." I know where they are going," Jessica said as James and Richard disappeared up the stairs."Please take us to them at once," I pleaded."Follow me, Luna."I ran up the stairs with Jessica and my mum; she was so fast we were trying to keep up the pace with her."Please, slow down," my mum called out, cowering with a hand on her knee, as she tried to catch her breath.After a few seconds, we continued; Jessica an

~AthenaWe all turned, following the direction the voice had come from, and there stood the sorceress, the one we had just spoken about. She had a long staff in one hand and an orb in the other. She wore a black gown, with her hair tied in a bun behind her. She looked so young I could swear she was almost my age, but the voice that had come out of her was terrifying, almost inhuman. Her eyes were fierce, orange like burning fire. Her strange voice now made sense; those were not the real color of her eyes."How are you here? How did you get here?" my mother asked, her voice a cocktail of fear and confusion.Just then the sorceress gently hit the staff on the floor, and her eyes changed color and went back to their usual ones. "I would have come sooner, but I made a stop at two of the locations of the explosions and helped take out our rivals."My eyes widened in shock. How was she even doing it? How could she have already been to two different locations and then…here? I wondered."She

~RichardI watched Athena leave with her mother and Jessica. A part of me went with her. I had vowed after she survived the incident with Sebastian that I was never going to let her out of my sight ever again, but look where we are now. Fate has dealt us a heavy blow, showing us how cruel it can be. She would be safer there than she would be here.There is definitely going to be a bloodbath here tonight, and I don't want her to experience any of that. She has been through so much already; she doesn't need to be put through any more traumatic experiences.Nuella, James, and I led the members of staff, the elders, and everyone else in the building outside, into the woods, but not too far away from the mansion. They would stay hidden there until we returned from procuring the weapons from the firearms department. Every man was eligible to wield a firearm for this battle; the only people who would be exempted are children, and thankfully, there are none around.I had told Jessica to tell

~RichardOur eyes were fixed on them, waiting to know what exactly was wrong and why they hadn't gone in yet."Do you think they know we are not in there?" James asked, his voice hushed."It is not possible. I created a great force inside the mansion; they would definitely sense the energy and believe that there are people inside," Nuella whispered."If that is the case, why are they not going in for the kill?" James asked."At this point, I think we would just have to wait and see what they intend to do," I replied, and just then the witch smiled and stretched out her hand to Frederick."Look," I tapped James, who was a bit distracted; he was glancing behind him, as though he was making sure everyone was staying put in their positions.He turned just in time to see Frederick put something in the witch's hand. "What could that be?""I don't know, it looks like…""It is a time bomb! I can hear the timer!" Nuella said, her eyes shut as though she was focusing on something. They want t

~AthenaJessica, my mum, and I were running as fast as our legs could carry us when my mother suddenly fell to the cold ground."I can't, I can't go any further," she said, trying to catch her breath. We were all out of breath. We had been running ever since we left the mansion without pausing, so I wasn't surprised she was already exhausted. In fact, I was tired too, but we had to go on; we had to keep running, and I needed to make her understand that."Mum, please, we need to get going," I begged. She shook her head and took in a lungful of air as she tried to steady her breathing.Jessica, who was scouting the area with her gun in hand, backpedaled to us, her eyes not leaving the woods. She lowered herself when she reached us and spoke with a serious tone, "I am afraid we don't have the luxury of resting, Rebecca. We just need to get as far away as possible from the mansion. Right now, we are just about three kilometers away.""I am so tired, I can't…"My mum was still in the midd

~AthenaMy heart leapt into my throat as I heard my mother scream, "Athena!"Jessica immediately lunged at us and swiftly swung her leg in the air, kicking the gun away from our grip. I fell backward to the floor, still in shock at what had happened. Jessica pinned the man down with her body, delivering strong blows to his face. She had witnessed everything that had happened.My mum rushed to my side immediately. "Athena, were you shot? Are you hurt?" she asked, her voice trembling with fear.I held her hand, preventing it from roaming further on my body. "I am fine, Mum. I wasn't shot," I sighed."Really?"I nodded, seeing her eyes flood with relief. It was fortunate that as werewolves, we had sharp eyes that could see clearly in the dark.We glanced in the direction of Jessica, who was pinning the man to the ground, hitting him as hard as she could. At this point, his face was bloodied. I had known Jessica was strong, but I didn't realize how strong until now.I had been amazed by t

~RichardIt has been at least about one hour since we fled into the woods. James and I, along with a few other men, were with us. Nuella had gone in the opposite direction. She had said she was going to lure the witch to herself.James and I have at least killed about 100 men that crossed our paths. We killed them silently without using bullets; it was better that way because we didn't want to draw attention to our hiding spot. Hearing Nuella say that the witch helped Frederick forge bullets that could actually kill me had shocked me to my bones.Due to that fact, I had to be very careful and play the waiting game. When Nuella, James, and I reached an intersection in the woods that was divided into two pathways, I had dropped my cloth at the entrance of the left side of the woods where Nuella said I should run into, with hope that the witch would sniff my scent and send Frederick in to find me while she would go in search of Nuella's energy.For the past hour, he hasn't crossed our pa

~AthenaWe had only been running for about fifteen minutes when Jessica spoke, glancing at us from the corner of her eyes."They are gaining ground on us. Both of you will have to continue without me. We can't let them see all three of us," she said, short of breath."No, let's all run together and hide," I refuted."No, my queen, that wouldn't be a good idea. I will wait and fight them off while both of you keep running and find somewhere safe to hide.""Richard said you should protect us, not leave us!" I uttered loudly, the wind carrying my words."Trust me, my queen, this is the best protection I can give," she stopped running, and we stopped too.I shook my head at her, "You can't do this Jessica! We are all in this together."She held my hand and that of my mum's, "Please listen to me, both of you. I need you to keep running and not look back. When I am done fighting them off, I will come find you, okay?"I didn't have words, I didn't want to leave her, but I knew her mind was m

~AthenaA feast was being held at the mansion with the whole pack in attendance. The gardens were filled with people from the resettlement area while the king, his dignitaries, and elders were in the great hall dining. There was plenty of food and drinks for everyone.It has been one month since I gave birth to my three little warriors. On the day i gave birth to them, my life changed completely. I felt a kind of inner peace that I had never felt before as they were laid beside me on the bed. All the pain I experienced while birthing them suddenly disappeared and was replaced with an unspeakable kind of joy.I had thought I was going to have just one kid. Throughout my pregnancy, I never went for an antenatal checkup even though Richard had suggested it a few times. I was very healthy and strong, so I didn't feel the need to go…maybe if I had, the doctor would have found out I was going to have triplets.My father and stepmother arrived a day after hearing the news, and my stepmother

~RichardSitting at the head of the dining table, I looked to my right and left at the two most important people to me in the world... One was heavily pregnant, looking like she was about to pop any minute, and the other was infectiously cheerful tonight because he had made a bold move, disregarding his fears, and it paid off big time.A few months ago, per my advice, James had told Nuella about his strong feelings for her. To his utter shock, she had revealed she fell head over heels for him from the first moment she set eyes on him in that dungeon. Their relationship blossomed quickly. I saw my best friend become the best version of himself. Nuella completely changed him and made him so much happier than I had seen him in years. I was eternally grateful to her. Fast forward months down the line, James told me he was finally ready to make that big move. I was so happy for him, and here we are now.He asked her to marry him, and she accepted his proposal. Two young bloods specially

~AthenaIt was a Monday morning. Richard drove me to the hospital after I complained about being sick. He left me in the care of the doctor as he had an important errand to run with James."I will be back in two hours, love," he said as he kissed my forehead.After he left, the doctor asked me what exactly was wrong with me, and I told him the symptoms I had been having for the past few days. I had kept them to myself as I didn't want to trouble Richard or anyone else. Today was quite different, unfortunately. I felt very lightheaded and weak and was unable to get out of bed until Richard came to my rescue and insisted on taking me to the hospital himself.The doctor took a sample of my blood and left.After a few minutes, he came back, a bubbly smile stretching his lips.I sat upright on the bed where I was resting, wondering why he was looking happy."Queen Athena, I bring you good news," he said cheerfully. I narrowed my eyes at him in surprise, as I thought of what good news he c

~RichardThe effects of the war have taken their toll on my kingdom these past few weeks. It will really take a long time to get over all that has happened, all because one silly man thought it was wise to avenge the death of his wicked, soulless brother.All the men who surrendered during the war have been put to good use rebuilding my pack, which they helped destroy. They have been allotted different duties in the pack. Some were sent to farms to become laborers and help the people in rural areas till the lands, plant crops, and harvest them. Others were sent to labor in building infrastructures, some of which were destroyed during their attacks with explosives, and so on.As for Alpha Gerald, after keeping him locked up for a week, I set him free, along with his men. He cried in appreciation, and we signed a peace treaty to seal the fact that we had now become allies.Today was the day of the scheduled meeting with the elders, and I still had no clue what they wanted to discuss, a

~AthenaToday, my father and his Luna will come to Black Knight Pack for my mother's burial, which is tomorrow. When he called and told me he would be coming with his Luna because she wanted to see me, I didn't know how to react to the news.All I said was, "Oh… Great.""She is a good woman, Athena. You will love her," my father had said.She was supposed to be my stepmother, but I was feeling quite nervous about seeing her.It has already been two weeks since the war was fought. Nothing is the same anymore. There is great grief all over the pack, in the resettlement area, and even in the mansion. Scores of people had lost their lives. I heard Richard and James discussing the other day, and they mentioned that the death toll had risen to 600 as bodies were still being found in different places. The only good thing about this fight was the fact that more people from the enemy pack had died. For every one lycan that was killed, four werewolves were killed too. So the ratio was 1:4, wh

~AthenaI was so tired but also excited about the fact that I had finally been saved by the two most important men in my life. If only my mother were alive to witness this moment, then my joy would be complete.It seemed as though the war had come to an end. Everywhere was a bit too serene. I didn't ask any questions on our way home as I was too tired to do so.When we got to the mansion, I was surprised to see a whole lot of people in front of it. They were scattered everywhere, sitting on grass and from the way they were being loomed over by some men wielding guns, I just knew they had to be from our enemy pack. We were about to make our way inside when three men from the crowd spoke one after the other.They were begging Richard to set them free. When the first had spoken, I felt a familiar dread curl up at the pit of my stomach. I brushed it off. No way! It just can't be.The second person spoke, and I still brushed it off. However, when the third person spoke, I felt that famil

~RichardI rose to my feet and ran a hand through my hair in frustration. Where has Athena gone? Why wasn't she in the cave as she was supposed to be?"No! She has to be there! I told her to stay there until I come," Alpha Kendrick bellowed in denial as he got to his knees, peering into the cave."Athena!" he screamed, his voice laced with pain. I could imagine how he felt as a father, and that was because I felt even worse. I didn't want to give in to my fears, though."Athena is safe, wherever she is," I internalized, trying to be positive.I checked the ground for fresh footprints that might belong to her, footprints I could trail to her new location, but I didn't find any."Athena!" Alpha Kendrick called out in shock. I immediately spun around."Come to me, my child," he added, extending his hands.With my heart in my mouth, I rushed towards him and went on my knees, peering into the small cave.There she was!She looked so frail as she staggered. I immediately rushed into the cav

~RichardHearing that Rebecca was dead was a very hard pill to swallow. Her death was especially painful because she had just made peace with her daughter, and they both needed time to create long-lasting, happy bonds. The moon goddess should have allowed her some more time, for Athena's sake! I sighed.I was looking out the window as we drove through the woods when my eyes suddenly latched onto something…someone…No! It can't be!I ordered the driver to stop the car, which he immediately did."Richard, what's the problem?" James asked, and I ignored him, rushing out of the car and towards the body lying on the ground, my heart racing rapidly.It was her! It was Jessica!"Fuck!!!" I screamed into the air, raking my hand through my hair in frustration as I sank to my knees, clamping my hand over my mouth as my body surged with emotion and pain, finding expression through the hot tears streaming down my face.I hardly ever cried, but for some reason, I couldn't help but do so at the go

~KendrickI was almost at the territory of the Black Knight pack when I got a call from Alpha Scott. My heart had been very heavy since receiving the second call from Athena informing me of her mother's death.All through the night, I had relived the years we shared, recalling pleasant memories from our past that I haven't seemed to let go of after several years. She was the first woman I ever truly loved, and I have never loved any woman as much as I loved her. Now she was gone. She didn't deserve to die.I answered the call from Alpha Scott and found out that King Richard was there with him. From his questions, I realized that he didn't know anything about Athena's whereabouts nor what had happened there.I told him I had some bad news, and his first inquiry, as expected, was about his wife. He wanted to know if she was okay.I paused, trying to find the best way possible to break the news about Rebecca's death to him."Alpha Frederick! Are you there?" he called out at my silence.
