Athena's POV

Tears cascaded down my eyes watching my mate leave with my child. My child!

I wasn't prepared to be a mother.

it felt awkward having to breastfeed a child...a child from my womb. I wanted nothing to do with it...but I couldn't watch it die.

I realized how much I loved her.

Even if Dante wouldn't grow to like her, I made up my mind to be everything she would ever want in a mother.

I would make sure she doesn't go through the pain I went through as a girl child.

She would be stronger than I ever was.

She was my priority.

I looked out the window. I succeeded in breaking a portion, but it wasn't enough to grant me an escape without tearing my skin.

I groaned in pain, making more impact. Every hit pierced my knuckles.

The distance from the second floor to the ground was enough to break me to pieces.

But there was a slim chance for survival if Sue helped me with the jump. My baby needed me.

I would give her a beautiful name as soon as I have her back in my arms. Cosmo, bec

I said nothing to Charlotte, but I mind-linked Tyler.He was in charge of her. Why didn't he do his job?"Athena please, stay here," I turned to her, making her sit on one of the chairs in the hallway. She finally agreed. I pulled Charlotte out of the castle, the little boy ahead of us."can you explain this?" I asked Tyler, still clinging on to Charlotte, who was beginning to wince from my tight grip."I have nothing to do with this, My King," Tyler confessed.The same moment Charlotte voiced out beside me,"I came myself. I couldn't watch you suffer, my King."My brows were furrowed as she spoke."What nonsense. I warned you never to step feet into this place," I spat angrily."I heard the news of the birth of your child and I knew you might be disallowed the position if you didn't provide a suitable heir."My gaze met that of Tyler, swallowing hard.She was

I panicked, taking his hands as though he had all the answers to my question."No one's trying to kill you. You're safe now," he answered."What about the baby? Our baby?" I asked, attempting to get up, but he held me still."The baby is fine and she's asleep. Tell me, what can you remember?""There was a woman. I saw her but I can't make out her face," I replied, staring vaguely at the carpets, forcing myself to remember everything that happened before the fire.I rose my gaze at him, "Why? you look worried? Do you know her?"He gestured a no and stood up immediately."I'll be back. Stay with her," he ordered the nurse without giving me a second look.I walked up to Cosmo's cot, and took her in my arms."Someone's trying to kill us, but the King and I wouldn't let them," I spoke with my child like she could understand me.

    Dante's POVI was preparing to leave one of my endless meetings when Tyler mind-linked me,"The Queen tried to attack her own baby, My King.""What nonsense are you saying, Tyler?" I questioned, unable to believe his words."We found her transformed in front of the baby. She was probably about to tear it apart when we rushed in."My brows were creased. Athena had grown to love her child even more than she loved me. There was no way she could kill our child.I rode back home hastily, after rescheduling the other meeting I had with the council."Where is she?" I yelled at the guards at the entrance to the Palace."She was tied up in the basement, my King," one of them replied.I slapped him hard on the cheek."How dare you tie up the Queen! My Mate!" I roared. I couldn't contain my anger. In no time, the blood of the guard was all over the place as I ripped him apart.I ran up the stairs, toward the basement, while mindlinking Tyler."Who gave you that order!" I growled, making my way t

She stood up frightfully, the woolen cloth dropped to the floor.I hit her on the face, "How dare you try to ruin my family?" I gritted.She gasped, sobbing quietly."Don't beat my mother," the boy shouted, running towards her and holding on to her dress.I looked down at him.It was hard for me to accept him as my son, though he looked so much like my younger self."Next time I find you both lurking around, I'll make sure I feed you to prisoners," I spat angrily. "and you..." I dragged the boy toward me, "I don't want you playing outside. Is that clear?"His eyes began to water. I stepped away from him and resumed my full height."Now, listen carefully. Some important guests would be coming tomorrow and I need you to act your best self, including him."I mind-linked the maid expected to dress them up. A knock came the same moment.It was a ma

Right King Dante?" Russ asked, calling my name but facing Charlotte."We don't have the whole day, Mr. Russ. Let's get started already," I cut in, shooting Charlotte a threatening look.If I hadn't stopped him, I was sure she would have said something foolish as her lips parted."Very well then. Charlotte White?" am I correct?""Y...yes" she stuttered, looking down as she spoke."Do you have a problem with my looks or is it just your form of showing respect, Queen Charlotte?" "Everyone knows how intimidating you can be, Mr. Russ. Unfortunately my mate isn't comfortable around you two," I replied, biting my tongue. It felt like I was betraying Athena by addressing another woman as my mate.I caught her surprised look, but I retained my straight face since I kne

I roared, stepping toward her. This was not the Charlotte I knew. It was somebody else entirely.I was able to shut her up, watching her pant heavily."Ben, go back to the room," she said to the boy, who sat watching us both."But mum, I'm not done eating..." Ben retorted, my eyes still fixed on Charlotte."I said go to the room!" she yelled again.This time, he got up grudgingly, stamping his feet on the floor and running out of the dining."You haven't changed Dante. You're still the beast you've always been. I'm so sorry for poor Athena. When she finally finds out about your true nature..." Before she completed are words, I choked her neck tightly, with gritting teeth,"You know nothing about me and you keep her name out of your mouth... you slut," I warned, fastening my grip until she began

I need to speak with the council. If this is their definition of protection then clearly I've been deceived."I tried not to worry, sending multiple messages to Athena, hoping that she would respond."Don't tell me you miss me that much," she finally replied as I headed back into the palace."Goodness, Athena. I get you want to punish me, but not this way. I need to be sure of your safety every minute now.""Why? is something wrong?" she asked.I hesitated at first. I didn't want her to panic. She was finally enjoying her stay with me, I couldn't take that away from her."Everything is fine. I just need to h

He was my only hope to remain the ruler of the Western region. My reaction was near to insanity."Tyler, get your ass down here!"

Of all the things to do in a situation as critical as this, she thought it right to laugh.How pathetic."You had something to do with this, didn't you?" I groaned, all my efforts damned on taming my raging emotions, enough to rip her to pieces."It all proves one thing, King Dante. No matter how much you try to hide it, you love me and you love our son."Then, I saw Ben behind her. Unhurt.I shut my eyes for a moment, as though snapp

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
