Omega to Alpha 38. Self Reflection
Athena’s POV"Athena... it's you," he whispered. I reached out for a tighter hug. His beards were all gone but there was no way I could mistake those eyes for another."You know each other?" Tyler's mother asked as she watched us exchange pleasantries.The Shaman chuckled as I guided him toward a double-sitter sofa in the living room. "It's a long story, Becca. She was one of my students in my old pack," the shaman explained as I sat beside him.I couldn't keep my jaws together as I was both delighted and shocked to see him. "How did you get here?" I asked. It suddenly felt like a family reunion."Is the king aware of your previous status in our old pack?" I added.It didn't look like he was ready to answer any question."You need to go easy on those questions," Tyler's mother, Becca, added as she held on to her husband.I stared at both of them, wondering how much Dante knew about me."King Dante knew I was the Shaman of Lion's Mane pack. I was among the few he spared the day of the
Omega to Alpha 39. Untold Story
Athena's POV"What?" I exclaimed. An intense shock ran through my spine, making me stare vaguely at his bald head. My mind couldn’t digest what I just heard.Mr. Styles was my father. Not that I regarded him as one.He kept wailing and holding on to my arms when all I expected of him was to clarify the bomb of a news he threw at me without caution.“Your mother died the night she had you. I was left alone with a kingdom to rule and a child to look after.” He was finally talking, although with a broken voice.Most of his words were slathered with persistent sniffing and coughing, but not enough to miss any detail.My mother died? Who then was Olivia Styles? What nonsense was the Shaman speaking? My mind raced, an obvious confusion written all over me.“Then there was a war after I announced the death of your mother. I was drunk that night. Our pack was still a budding pack and there were just a few warriors. We couldn’t win the battle.” he paused and resumed his incessant sob. I stood
Omega to Alpha 40. Suspicions
Athena's POV A strange heat piled up within, slowly I gained back consciousness. With a throbbing head and a weak body that couldn't hold me up for long, a smiling face was the last thing I expected to find on my mate's face."From now on, you order me around until my new love comes home," Dante remarked casually.My brows were furrowed, listening to him, with pounding heart. Was this a rejection? But, his expression didn't complement his words."Our child is growing right here," he said, placing his hands on my belly.My eyes were wide open, joyful tears streaming down my face. I was becoming a mother. I've been given a chance to correct the mistakes my parents made.I caressed my belly, smiling sheepishly. "That explains why I've been feeling sick," I said. I managed to get out of bed, with Dante's help. It felt like a lump was fighting to come out of my throat. I held on to the bathtub, greenish liquid pouring out of my mouth. and splashing all over the white ceramic."What ca
Omega to Alpha 41. Intruder
Athena's POVDante's voice grew louder as I climbed down the flight of stairs, heading toward the direction of the sound."You don't give them a chance and come here to complain about it. Strengthen the borders and go after them!"My heart began thumping, his temper grew wild.Something must be terribly wrong for my mate to react with such intensity, and it only made me more frightened."I paddled slowly to the last staircase. I gasped, Dante bumped into me in his rage."I gave you a simple instruction. I said stay put in bed. Didn't you see the maid I hired for you?" he rose his voice at me.I stood there in shock, with my jaws dropped."I was worried that something might be wrong. I heard..." He interrupted me before I could complete my words that came out broken."And what if something's wrong? Can you help with that growing in you?" he roared, eying my belly like I was wearing filth."I'm the Queen and this is your child. You inducted me, so I deserve to know what happens in the
Omega to Alpha 42. Haunted past
Athena's POV It was a matter of life and death. There was no one around to save me, I had to help myself out of the situation or get killed. He made no attempt of getting off me soon. I played the only trick I knew might work, one I learnt from training in my old pack-- play dead. It was a risky venture if the attacker continued exacting pressure, but I tried it regardless as I was losing my strength drastically. I stayed still, I released my grip on his thick arm and acted dead. He got up from me instantly, a drop of his beading sweat fell on my face as he turned to face the door. I reached for the lamp on the drawer and aimed at his head. It hit him on the side of his face as he wailed in pain, glass shattering on the floor as I crawled out of the room hurriedly...panting. "Dante! Somebody help!" I screamed out and in the mindlink. I was approaching the study when I saw Dante rushing towards me. I pointed at the door from which I came as he squatted beside me, "what happene
Omega to Alpha 43. Masked Enemy
Dante's POVHer question got me startled, staring wide-eye at her.Who must have told her? I made sure to clear every traces of my past that could pose as a threat to our relationship."I don't understand" I replied, playing the ignorance card and hoping she wouldn't go further. I was wrong. "Why didn't you tell me about it?" she questioned, her swollen eyes releasing tears down her cheeks.I hated to see her cry, but it turned out I have been doing nothing less than that lately. I already hated myself for it."So it's true then. Who cares about how I found out?" she sobbed, making me feel broken.They were mistakes from my past I never intended for her to know, just for the sake of what was already happening, seeing her hurt, or seeing me as a bad guy."I promise it's nothing to worry about," I whispered, rubbing off the tears on her face."Look at me, Athena," I raise her gaze up to meet mine, staring deeply into my eyes. There was something about her stare that always made me fa
Omega to Alpha 44. Western Rule
Dante's POVIt was well past midnight when I arrived back to my Kingdom.First thing in the morning, I was going to summon Tyler to the palace. I could have visited him that night, but the healer advised he got adequate rest at night.Athena was still curled up in bed, deep into sleep when I returned to the room.I stared at her for a while, wondering how she'll react if she ever finds out the rest of my secrets. If Charlotte could get her all worked up, how much more finding out her mate was a cold-blooded murderer?.I wouldn't let that happen. We had to find a way, any way. My reputation also mattered. I couldn't lose the kingdom to anyone outside my bloodline.I tumbled in bed until I gave up trying to find sleep. Thankfully,I didn't wake her up. I buried myself into work at the library.***"Who amongst you has a runny mouth?" I asked after summoning all the maids that worked closely with Athena. It was still very early in the morning, they stood faced down on a single file. W
Omega to Alpha 45. The Induction
Dante's povI've had sleepless nights for the past few months, as the Lycan kings awaited the results of their newly elected leader for the westside."what about Charlotte? Do you monitor her movements?" I asked Tyler, seated beside me in the carriage."She seems timid, easily manipulated. She wouldn't be a threat. My only concern is Alpha Fenrir. I don't trust him?""I trust her...and if it happens that way, I'll make sure I kill them both..As for Fenrir, he's no match" I replied. The journey was quiet until we arrived at the Lycan's Council meeting. The passages were busy with suited men from different parts of the world, judging by their fashion sense.I picked up my suit case and headed for the large entrance with Tyler by my side."Stay here," I ordered him while I proceeded in.Most of the leaders were already on their respective seats, each representing thier kingdom.Mine was positioned somewhere in the middle of the large conference table.I sat comfortably, taking off my ha

Omega to Alpha 87. Finding a Mate

Taking out the dark magic of the vampires, burning down dungeons with vampire prisoners.A week passed and still I hadn't reached out to Kevin.Each time Cosmo would ask of him, I gave her the same reply,"He left."I realized no one could take his position better than him."He helped us overcome the vampires. He killed his people for us. Why wouldn't you trust him? He's saved us twice," Sue scolded one afternoon, when I got back from visiting the construction at the borders.Dante also built the training center as promised at the center of both kingdoms.I tried not to believe her. Kevin was a werewolf and a Vampire. It was hard to trust hybrids like him. But I gave in, sending him a mindlink,"We need you back, Kevin." I waited for a reply but it didn't seem forth coming."Alpha," one of the guards came to me, as I sat at dinner with Cosmo."You've a letter," he added with
Omega to Alpha 86. New Legacy
Athena's POVOf a truth, I was more than glad to see Kevin again. And the fact that he saved my life yet again from the blues melted my heart. 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. Maybe Kevin could help me forget about him. The sight of Dante soaked in his blood, needing help, tortured me.I was barely a meter away. Tears dropped down my cheeks as we stepped out. I managed to hide those tears as Kevin said,"We have to burn the bodies."i halted in my steps, squatted to the same eye level as Cosmo,"Are you alright?" She nodded a response, as I noticed how feebly she looked."What's wrong?" Kevin asked."She passed out earlier.""I know a safe place she can stay untill we clear the mess around here," Kevin hadn't completed his statement when Cosmo began to throw up. 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
Omega to Alpha 83. Vampires' quarters
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
Omega to Alpha 80. Steamy pleasures
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
