Omega to Alpha 29. The Mark
Athena’s POVThe subtle smell of salad cream and the soft texture of the sheets caused me to open my eyes. I sat up and scanned the place. It was a familiar environment. The same room we had our first intimate night—my first ever. I found Dante sitting on a sofa chair beside my bed, with a pensive look.He rushed towards me immediately I sat up and offered me a cup of water that was on the nightstand.“How do you feel?” he asked as he sat beside me with a worried look.“Weak,” I answered truthfully, after emptying the glass of water down my throat.“Thank you for helping me out there,” I continued as he fluffed the pillow for me to recline.“Thank you for helping me find you. I was worried sick, Athena. I’ll get you something to eat,” he remarked as he prepared to stand. I held back his palm on the bed,“Mark me, Dante,” I said rather in a commanding tone. I wanted him to be sure I felt the same way for him. I wanted to clear up whatever doubts that may be bothering him. He looked sur
Omega to Alpha 30. A Tour
Athena's POVI had completely forgotten about Dante’s presence beside me. I turned to him with a pretentious smile and assured him,“It’s nothing to worry about.” He didn’t look convinced so I went further to say,“It’s the trauma I suffered in the vampire kingdom. I haven’t gotten over it.” His worried expression dissolved into compassion as he hugged me. I had to lie. I was an omega after all. No one wanted to have anything to do with us.I knew Dante wouldn’t be an exception. He didn’t need to know who I was.His baritone vibrated through my ears as I leaned on his chest,“I’ll help you forget everything about it. Every single thing. You’re mine now. I’m responsible for every one of your emotions and I’ll do anything to make you happy. Anything. He tilted my head and leaned a kiss.I laid on his chest, as my thoughts prevented my eyes from closing while my mate slept like a baby without worries.“I have a little surprise for you,” he exclaimed. I must have managed to sleep as I saw
Omega to Alpha 31. The Truth
Athena's POVI sat up as soon as he placed the routine goodnight kiss on my cheeks and laid by my side. I pretended to be asleep all along. I knew such a flight wasn't one I couldn't carry out in the day, especially when I knew he was still mad at me from the last tour. I slipped silently out of bed.There was no time for a proper outfit. Dante was a light sleeper except for when he's had a release. The slightest of sounds would wake him up. I wasn't ready for that conversation.It was a few minutes past ten o'clock. I took one last glance at him as I got to the door. It was no time to rethink my choice. 'My mother needed me,' I convinced my mind but the truth was, my heart didn't want to leave that bed behind—the soft sheets and the warm muscular body on it. I closed my eyes tightly and left regardless. This time, I took enough to prepare me for a fight just in case I needed it on the way—a bow and arrow drenched in wolf's bane. I had stolen it from one of the werewolf hunters
Omega to Alpha 32. Exile
Athena's POVI was nearly shot on the leg as I leaped back.“I've been searching for you. But look…fate brought you to my doorstep."Her eyes were wet as her tears kept flowing down.I didn't know what she wanted. I didn't understand why she was there with no one around. She must know something. But first, I had stop her from killing me.“You took everything away from me. Everything!" She continued.“I have no idea about what you're talking about,” I stuttered, raising my hands in fear as though they could shield me from another silver bullet.“I'm going to ruin you, Athena. The way you ruined me. I can never forgive myself for helping you that night. All these wouldn't have happened. I would have found a way to escape on my own." She buried her face in her palms as the gun dangled in the air. I tried to crawl to pick my bow and set up an arrow. But she caught me instantly and shot me on the leg, without missing this time. I groaned in pain, clasping my right leg with my two han
Omega to Alpha 33. New Alpha
Athena's POV"Carl? what happened to mum?" I sobbed as he helped me up and gave me a tight hug. "Were you there when it happened? How did you escape?" I went on with the question while he pulled out of the hug and looked into my eyes.Tears dropped down our faces. He was all grown up. There was no way I could have guessed he was my younger brother."It's a long story, sis. I was lucky to escape during the fight along with some others. He promised to take care of Us you know. So here I am. A warrior in a new pack.""Do you know who killed them?" I asked as he helped me to a wooden bench away from the others."Rumors have it that it was one of Alpha Gonzalo's enemies," he replied as he pat my hair."I never imagined i'ld ever see you, Sis. Father told me you were banned from the pack anytime I asked of you. That was before the war that claimed his life.""What about mother? Did she..." i broke down in tears. It was impossible to think that my only purpose of existence had been killed
Omega to Alpha 34. The Return
Athena's POV"You went missing for days, Athena. You finally come back home and the next appropriate question you feel you should ask is why I did what?" Dante replied slowly as he walked towards me."You didn't think i'ld be hurt right. You keep running away from me every time without a reason and now you stand there questioning me? Don't I deserve an answer too?""You killed my parents Dante. Don't you even dare act the victim. You killed my entire pack," I yelled back at him. He was still approaching me when I felt the urge to bring out the weapon with me."Stay right there or I'll shoot!" I ordered. He seemed shocked as he halted."Tell me it's a lie Dante and I'll believe you. Tell me you didn't kill them. Tell me!" I was losing my mind. The mate bond didn't help remedy the situation as the gun quivered in my hands."Athena, I can explain but please put the weapon down," Dante spoke softly as he tried to persuade me. It didn't work. I was so mad at him. The fact that he didn't d
Omega to Alpha 35. The Prisoners
Athena's POV "Is there a problem?" he asked as I turned around."Of course not. My wolf needs a little stretch, nothing more," I responded, while hiding my nervousness.If Tyler knew what I was about to do, he was sure to stop me."Alright, My Queen. I'll be here if you need anything," he replied while I continued down the hall. "So you think he's watching us?" I asked Sue as I left the first turning to my right."Very possible. Abort this mission, Athena. I see no point in going ahead. He killed your mother but he's apologized," Sue scolded."But I'm not doing this to avenge mother's death. I'm doing it for them.""Have you thought about what would happen to them if they're left to wonder alone in the forest. They could get killed by some rogues or even the Vampire Lord.""At least I gave them the chance to choose a better life. They would have to fight just like I did," I replied as I turned around to confirm I wasn't being followed by Tyler."You and I know your survival was out
Omega to Alpha 36. A Confession
Athena's POV"No you didn't, Athena. You're just saying that to get me angry and it's working!" Dante roared as he walked up to me and held my shoulders.My eyes began to water as I saw his tears,"Did you let them go?" he asked, forcing each words out of his mouth with gritting teeth as his eyes penetrated me.I affirmed by nodding my head, holding back the tear that was begging to drop. "Why did you do it without my permission?" he asked as I felt his grip tighten on my shoulders."Because I had to. They deserve a better life as much as I do," I replied as my voice began to break."You know what I think. I think you're sick, Athena. You have no idea of what you've done. I should never have marked you as mate from the very beginning," he spat while he turned to the guards,"Tyler! Send every troop you can get and make sure you bring them back to me alive. Get out," he yelled at them as they stormed out of the hall.I didn't understand why he reacted with so much intensity as he kept

Omega to Alpha 86. New Legacy

As he held my wrist with Cosmo in our middle, it only felt right to give love a chance.But there was Dante. And I felt it. I felt the spark like it never left.

Kevin rushed to carry her and ran. I trailed his steps, scared for my daughter's life. Her bod
Omega to Alpha 85. Final Showdown
Dante's POV"Who are you?" I demanded, turning around. It was pitch black but I saw two blood shot eyes glowing."A prisoner, just like you're now. You smell like fresh blood.""I'm not a prisoner," I corrected, ignoring who ever it was as I tried to find my way out."It's a waste of time," the voice said.I was beginning to believe the words until I felt a door knob. But, it pulled open without my effort. I backed away as three men barged in to me, holding lamps. "What have you done, Dante!" the man in front, with thick beards roared, while the other two men held me down."Have we met?" I asked, without regard for the authority he seemed to command.There was a loud noise coming from outside. Like a war. Then I realized my warriors were around, giving me more courage."How dare you come into my kingdom to cause havoc!" I caught a view of the turbulence outside behind him. It was a bloody sight. It was hard to tell who was winning the fight. "I presume you're the vampire Lord, ar
Omega to Alpha 84. Saving Cosmo
Athena's POVMy heart pounded heavily as we got into the surroundings of a large mansion. I had Cosmo climb on my back before we passed the rocky slope. Her weight slowed me down, as the witch led all through.I saw a large mansion, and my uneasiness only grew wild.She pulled me back as I continued toward it,"We have no business with the Vampire Lord, remember? It's this way," she said.We took the first turning to our right and proceeded down a flight of stairs that had mosses and spirogyra growing all over its surface."Where's this place?" I asked, in awe."the sacred grounds. It was the same place my people were killed and sacrificed. We would most certainly encounter opposition here. It's never left unguarded."I instinctively clutched my arm around Cosmo's wrist on my neck as we continued down the multiple stairs.She gestured for me to stop, her eyes glistening as she looked around us.A piercing cry struck me. Cosmo's cry. "Cosmo!" I yelled as I pulled her from my back to t

Dante's POV"I need your help," I broke the surprise on his face as I approached the front deck."How may I be of use to the King?" Tony asked with his crooked voice, broken with old age."The Vampire Lord. I need to know him. I need to find him. Is that too much to ask of you tonight?""My King, does not believe in sorcery. I'ld rather not bother you," he said with a bow."It's an order, Tony. It's the only chance I have. Get on your horse. Are your legs too feeble to ride?" I enquired, as he pulled an Arabian horse toward me, immediately I made the order."My skills are very much intact. my major concern is our sudden visit to the vampires. Their powers are twice as much now," he suggested, brushing the hair of his horse like one preparing for an honorary visit. "That's why you're coming with me. Do whatever you have to do.""I'm stricken with age Alpha. I'm not the best man for a fight. I can only see in part. That's the only power I have. We may need back up."We rode out of the
Omega to Alpha 82. Dry Bones
Athena's POVThe pack's healers fed the witch with herbs she'd requested herself, pointing at trees around, including wolfsbane.I squatted beside the old witch, watching how she rolled the herbs into several balls, applying the juice into every opening on her face, including her nostrils.She kept a few of the balls in her clothing,"We may need some of these. Just in case," she said.Behind me was a troop. The entire pack, arranged according to their war experiences and agility. The feeble ones amongst us were made to converge at the middle. An order we've maintained since our conception as a pack, forming a defense against the weak. Everyone prepared their weapons. Animal horns, drenched with liquid silver and wolf bane, arrows, daggers, and spears. The only weapon I had with me was the witch who seemed to know alot about our enemy."We don't have much time," the witch said in a crooked tone groaning in pain as she got back on her feet.She held a walking, but what she did with
Omega to Alpha 81. Sinister Affair
Dante's PoVI was confused. Someone was in there with her. Who was it that made her laugh more cheerfully than I ever made her? After all my efforts at making things work. Why did they choose to hide in such filth?"I don't know what's going to happen now that he's marked me. We might have to cut our seeing,"Charlotte's whisper reached my hearing even louder. There was no mistaking her voice. I followed her scent. The surprise clouded my reasoning of what could be.I was more interested in knowing how the conversation would end. I wanted to find all the answers without having to confront both of them yet my rage boiled like wild fire."His reign is for a while. We've come this far. Very soon, we'll form our own empire. I'm tired of staying in the dung. But, anything to be with you.""You flatter me.""Some day we're gonna have this on his bed. Make you moan and cry my name.""That's too risky. He'll kill you.""I've never been afraid of death. You're quick to forget my status. I'm

Dante's POVAlarmed, she scanned my face and the flowers in my hands.I didn't know what to do but my heart raced.She had to say something. I desperately wanted her to accept my offer before I changed my mind. After all, that was what she always wanted. The moment only grew more awkward and to my amazement she dashed out of my presence."Charlotte!" I yelled, dumping the roses in my hands to chase after her. She tripped on her dress but I caught her before she got up."That's not how to treat your husband, the king!" I raised my voice. It was too late to caution myself, as tears began to stream down her face."I'm sorry," I managed to say, looking into her eyes to soften the moment."There's no doubts, you're drunk again," she responded, pulling away from me and running towards the palace.I watched her run from me, heaved a sigh before trailing her footsteps.I didn't expect her to be difficult.I had to end all of it today. I had to prove to my mother that all she wanted from At
Omega to Alpha 79. Mending Hearts
Dante's POVShe was gone. I scoured every conceivable place, desperately searching for her, but she eluded me. My mother made it even more challenging for me to forget."Have you looked into neighboring packs? Don't you care about your daughter at all?" my mother interrogated one morning during breakfast."I've done everything I can, mother. There are no packs around save the vampires. Besides, She's better off without me," I replied, burdened with overwhelming guilt."Immersing yourself in strong wine and distancing yourself from your family won't lead to healing, my son. Find my grandchild as soon as you can."Her words struck me with such force that I dropped my cutlery in frustration, unable to bear the weight of her unending accusation."And what about Ben? Charlotte is the Queen Mother. It was wrong for me to have fallen in love with a werewolf in the first place. This is my way of setting things right, just as you wanted," I snapped back, muffled by the towel on my lips as I re
