~AthenaSabrina stared at the result for a little too long; her eyes were wide in shock. Jessica, on the other hand, was impatient; she wanted to know what was written on the paper."What does it say, Sabrina?" she asked impatiently.Sabrina looked up at her and shook her head in astonishment without saying a word. I felt dread curl up in the pit of my stomach. Just what could be on that paper? I wondered. I looked at the doctor's face and couldn't read his thoughts; his eyes were fixed on me, and I knew something was bubbling in his mind, but I didn't know what it was. I swallowed hard as I waited for the worst.Jessica snatched the paper from Sabrina and read out the content."Two weeks pregnant?" she said in astonishment as she looked up at me. "How the hell did this happen…?"I was stunned. I glanced at the doctor, and he nodded his head when no one was looking and offered a smile. Relief instantly washed over me. How did he know I needed help? How did he know to do what he did?

~SabrinaI got out of the car, and Jessica pulled me aside. She looked like she had something important to tell me. Well, it better not be what I think it is because I really do not mind going against her just this once if it is.I approached her, and she held me by the hand, "Come with me, I need to tell you something."She walked me way down the garden, far away from the earshot of the workers who were tending the garden. She wore a serious look as she shielded her face from the hot, scorching sun."What is it you want to say, Jess?" I asked in a slightly defensive tone just to hint that I was not really going to agree to everything she was going to say."Sabrina, I know you must want to get the news of the result out there, but I advise you against doing so, and I have my reasons," she said in a reasonably low, commanding tone.Just as expected, she wanted to keep what happened a secret. I would not allow it; I refuse to allow it. I arch a brow and cross my arms against my chest in

~AthenaThe tone of Richard's voice, though calm, hinted at a problem. He was different. The man talking to me right now was not the same man I knew. This was the first time I was seeing this part of him."Are you there?" he called out, wanting to make sure he still had my attention."Yes, I am," I managed to say, my voice coming out a bit hoarse as there was a lump in my throat."Okay, I would go straight to the point," he stated matter-of-factly.My heart went into my mouth."I just got a call from Jessica," he paused.I swallowed hard, knowing where the discussion was headed."According to her, there is an urgent matter I need to attend to. She has even involved the council members. That woman is really getting on my nerves at this point," his voice was hard as he said his last words.I kept quiet, not knowing how to respond."Why are you quiet, Athena?" he asked.I thought hard about how best to reply to the question; the best I could come up with was, "Nothing really, I am just w

~AthenaI hardly slept all night. I tossed back and forth restlessly, waiting for the dawn of the day. I had endless conversations with my wolf who was as eager as I was to see Richard again. Unlike her though, I had an unsettling feeling within me. My insecurities were rearing their ugly heads again."Richard is too good for me. I don't belong here. I don't deserve this life; I don't deserve someone like him. What if he finally gets to see it?"When morning came, Tracy knocked on the door lightly before slightly pushing it open and peering in to check my state. If I was sleeping, she would have gone back out.I lay grumpily on the bed, staring at her. Seeing that I was awake, she smiled and got in, shutting the door behind her."Good morning, my Queen. Arise and shine for it is a beautiful day."I groaned and got into a sitting position, stretching myself. It had been a very rough night. My bones were sore and aching.I could really use a proper massage right now."Morning, Tracy, ho

~AthenaEveryone rose to their feet as soon as Richard and I walked in and bowed curtly in greeting. I stared at the faces that stared back at us. Sabrina and Jessica were together, occupying the two front seats on the right-hand side. The two front seats on the left were empty. Shrewd-looking elders filled the seats from the second row to about the sixth one.I could feel several pairs of eyes glaring daggers at me. If only looks could kill, I would have probably dropped dead the second I walked in.I looked at the podium, and there were two seats there. This was my first time being in the conference room. I wondered whether there had always been two thrones or if another was added because I was going to be here today.The room was painted white and had two windows draped with beautiful blue curtains. The ceiling was very high with a chandelier dangling in the middle, being the most prominent source of light illuminating the room. Other tiny fluorescents surrounded the four corners o

~Sabrina"Your Majesty!" James shouted as he rushed towards Richard.Ignoring him, Richard growled at me, "I have had enough of that smart little mouth of yours! How dare you?!" His eyes glowed a dark red; he was allowing his monstrous wolf to get the better part of him again.I scratched at his hand helplessly, hoping, praying he would let go as I was choking so badly it was difficult to breathe, but he wouldn't budge."You might strangle her to death at this rate!" James whispered to him, but Richard still didn't react. Was that how much he hated me? I thought we were friends. Horror filled my eyes as I saw my death nearing. I was strong, but I was no match for him. Richard had a unique ability, one that made everyone around him weak if he wanted to, one that suppressed one's wolf if he didn't want it to be let out.I clawed at his hand, my legs kicking helplessly. I was becoming weak. Was this how I was really going to die?I saw the little witch approach him, wrapping her arms ar

~ RichardAthena asked me to go and apologize to Sabrina for what happened in the conference room. I told her I was going to do that later, but she insisted I find Sabrina and do it at that moment, as leaving it to prolong might foster animosity in her heart towards me and, in extension, towards her too.I went outside hoping to see Sabrina lurking around somewhere or just basking in the sun like she loves to, but she was nowhere in sight. I even asked James and Michael, who were outside, if they had perhaps seen her around; they all answered in the negative.There was now only one place she could be: her room.I decided to go up to her room and apologize. Just after I had apologized and she accepted amidst tears, I pulled her in for a comforting hug, and that was when it happened.She covered my lips with hers, causing my eyes to grow wide. Her lips were so soft and succulent. I opened my mouth to hers and savored it for a bit. Her hand slid down to my manhood, which had become hard a

~AthenaI knew immediately I walked in and saw the demeanor on his face that something was wrong. My fears resurfaced, the fears I have been having ever since he chose me as his mate. Regardless of how much I tried to pretend that I could be queen, I knew deep down that I wasn't good enough.I just waited for the day he would realize it too and decide it was time to let me go. The day my world would finally be shattered, the day I would give up on love and life.He asked me to sit, and I obeyed, waiting to hear him say the words that I had been dreading, but when he spoke, it wasn't exactly the words that I expected that his lips uttered; they spoke words that were different but similar. Words that led me to believe that the scales had fallen off his eyes and he now wanted to be with another woman whom he deemed more suitable to be his queen."I made out with Sabrina."I bit down hard on my lower lip, telling myself crying was of no use despite how shattered I felt on the inside.

~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.

~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.
