Offered to the Cruel Alpha king Chapter 98
~RichardI stared at the scene for a while and decided to go in because standing at the doorway wouldn't fetch me the answers I so desperately needed.I went in with James right behind me. The doctor and Rebecca were standing by the side, watching the scene. As soon as Rebecca saw me, her tear-filled face was filled with guilt."What exactly is going on?" I wondered."Richard!" Athena cried out, causing me to avert my gaze from Rebecca to her as she finally released Alpha Kendrick from her embrace."I have an uncle; this man here is my father's brother!" she exclaimed.I was taken aback by her words but immediately recovered, realizing I needed to act accordingly. If he was her uncle, then I definitely already knew.With that in mind, I grinned, "You finally found out.""Today just keeps getting better and better!" she threw her hands in the air in excitement. Her bright eyes glittering with joy as she exclaimed, "First, I find out we are having a boy, then I find out I have a paterna

~RichardI shared a look with James, who was seated to my left, signaling him to take charge as I was tired and couldn't answer the questions that required lies anymore.Getting my message, James smiled and responded, raising a brow "Michael, Jessica, and Sabrina?" Thankfully, Athena averted her gaze to him, relieving me from her scrutiny."They all went away on a trip for the same course; they will be back after a few days."I picked up the glass of water before me, steadying my hand as I took a sip. Athena's gaze was back on me."Is that so, Richard?"I choked on my water."Oh, I am so sorry," she apologized, picking up a tablecloth and drying the bit of water that had splashed on my hand and the table. Her question had caught me unaware, causing my reaction."It is fine; it is no fault of yours but mine. I should have been more careful," I replied tiredly.When she was done cleaning, she tossed the tablecloth aside and locked eyes with me to ensure I was okay. That was when I answe

~AthenaWe had just finished dinner and retired to our rooms. All day, ever since I woke up in the hospital bed and saw Richard walk in, his well-toned muscles bulging out of his body, those perfect scintillating ocean-blue eyes of his drawing me in, I desired him. All I wanted was to run my hand through his body and have him make passionate love to me.It felt like it had been ages since that happened. It was quite bizarre that I had all that in mind despite my confused state. My memory was very foggy, and the last thing I remembered was standing outside the mansion, my heart heavy as I waved goodbye to Richard and James, longing for the next time I would see them as their journey was one that was going to last a few weeks.Right now, walking into Richard's room, quite elated for the night we were about to have, I rubbed my belly, remembering the good news I received earlier from the hospital. I was going to have a lovely baby boy very soon, one whom Richard and I will nurture and r

~AthenaNight eventually gave way to morning. The rays of sunlight sifting in through the slightly open curtain, casting a beautiful golden glow in the room. I didn't sleep a wink all night; my mind was just spiraling with different thoughts as I was battling with a bout of emotions. Richard had been awake with me too, trying to make me feel better.A part of me almost felt bad and selfish for doing that to him. He had been through a lot because of me and didn't deserve that at all.We had been silent for the most part of the night. Just having him by my side meant everything. There was no place I would rather be than in his large comforting arms that had tended to me all night.He planted a kiss on my forehead and gradually placed me on the bed, getting up and out of bed, he stretched his body."Do you intend on going horse racing this morning?" I asked, remembering he used to do that every morning in the past. Although today we stayed in bed a little too late.He glanced at me, his

~AthenaAfter getting dressed for the day, Richard and I headed downstairs. He was draped in black pants with a white shirt, his long blond hair tied neatly in a knot at the back, making the chiseled planes of his face more enhanced and set. He looked very magnificent with an aura of nobility.I, on the other hand, was simply dressed in a blue short loose gown with my brown hair tied behind my scalp. I had no powder on my face. I didn't feel the need to do too much. I was still in mourning of the recent happenings.I walked alongside Richard, our footsteps echoing in the distance. Everywhere seemed quiet and serene, almost feeling empty as opposed to how it used to be. It seemed as though everyone in the mansion now went about their business quietly, refraining from engaging in small talks as they usually did.As if sensing my thoughts, Richard explained, "A lot has happened in the mansion, I believe everyone has become a tad bit more careful so as not to fall prey to unfortunate inci

~AthenaAt that moment, I stared at him, lost for words. Had I heard him correctly?"Did you just say you are my birth father?" I asked, wanting to make sure my ears were not playing some kind of trick on me.He nodded his head in response as though he was tongue tied. My breath was beginning to hitch. I dragged my gaze away from him, fixing it on my mother's face. She was the one who was in a better position to explain what the man I had thought was my uncle was saying.Upon locking eyes with her, I could see her eyes beginning to get cloudy with tears. She was about to cry? What the hell was she doing that for?Her words came without me having to ask her anything, "He speaks the truth, Athena. He is your birth father," she sobbed.Still shocked, I turned around to look at Richard. The look on his face showed he already knew. That was it. The lie he had said wasn't his to rectify. The man in front of me was indeed my father.I felt a light pain begin to form on my forehead and raise

~AthenaAfter I had spoken those words, I turned around and stormed out of the conference room. I heard Richard mumble something to them before coming after me. I hurried my steps, darting towards the exit of the building and into the garden. I increased my pace, feeling my chest tightening.I had hoped to feel relief after lashing out at them like that, but what was this heaviness I felt? Why was my heart aching so badly? They had wronged me! All those years, 19 good years! My father had been absent in my life, and my mother, who had been present, had treated me like I didn't matter. I was an obstacle, a thorn in her flesh she desperately needed to get rid of. Therefore, she treated me like I was nonexistent, allowing her husband to physically abuse me, inflicting wounds on me anytime he wanted, wounds she would never tend to. Everything I had to go through at the hands of Sebastian. I had eventually lost my child! Brutally, for that matter! Yet all these could have been avoided. I

~Athena"How is it possible that my father didn't know about me until he was told? Does that mean my mother kept my existence away from him?" Sensing my thoughts, Richard replied, "You are right, Athena. Your mother never told your father about you; she fled her pack even before she knew she was pregnant with child."Fresh tears flowed down my cheeks. It felt as though the dam that had temporarily been holding them collapsed. I didn't have the strength or energy to cry; I just sat there as the tears poured down like pearls from a broken pot. In the end, it was my mother's fault. She had denied both my father and me the chance of meeting each other early in life. My heart ached with pain as I thought about it. How cruel! I had thought it was their mutual decision for him to stay away from my life, but it turned out things were quite as I had thought.Richard wiped my tears again, gazing at me with pitiful eyes. "Your mother had her reasons, Athena."His words immediately triggered me

~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.
