Athena's POV

I felt my heart skip several beats. The crowd I was supposed to save began to back away. I turned around. Like one that had no sense of danger--that was far from the truth.

I recognized the voice. On turning around, I recognized the face too.

"Let them go. And have me instead," I called out to him.

He stood ahead. Relaxed. His usual expression that seemed to evoke fear even out of the bravest of warriors.

"You only made it easier for me," he replied calmly, smoke puffing out of his mouth as he spoke.

I looked back at the crowd and yelled at them,

"Shut the hell up."

Their fear was justified considering the kind of man before us.

But I had to fake some sort of dominance. Fake confidence. Anything to make him realize he wouldn't have his way so easily.

I turned around. He wasn't there. He was the same man that threatened me to turn against Dante before I broke free.

"No one has pulled a successful escape from me. Just look at you. If only you sided with me, you wouldn'

    Athena's POV"Say nothing," he whispered, his eyes glinting in the moonlight as he laid me down on the cold, hard slab. I felt weak and vulnerable, my body exposed to the harsh elements, but there was something in his touch that made me feel safe, even as I sensed danger lurking all around us.The wind howled, whipping my hair around my face as he bit into his wrist, drawing forth a few drops of his dark, viscous blood. With a steady hand, he brought the wound to my lips, and I felt a strange, almost primal urge to drink.As the blood trickled down my throat, I felt a sudden surge of strength, my senses sharpening as the world around me came into sharper focus. But even as I felt my powers returning, I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something mysterious and dangerous about this man, something that I couldn't quite put my finger on.With each drop of blood, I felt a deeper connection forming between us, a bond that defied explanation and seemed to transcend time and space.

The others growling at her ready to tear her up.I growled at my newest pack members, asking them to back away while I transformed back to my partly human form."You either bow to my rule or dare to be their first prey," I threatened. She kept wailing. The pain of betrayal must have caused her so much but she didn't seem to surrender,"Never! I'd rather die than bow to a female Alpha, let alone the one whom I so much despise. Bitch!"The others threatened to attack but I stopped them."Let by gone be by gone, Scarlett else, you've the chance to run and never look back. it's the only favor I can afford you or I leave you to my hungry pack," I threatened, my voice loud and threatening."Not until I collect all that belonged

    Athena's POVInstinctively, I replied, "Mother?" unsure of the appropriate word to address her, after knowing my real mother died years ago.My utmost shock was finding her in Dante's palace, holding Cosmo."It's truly you, Athena," she breathed, her voice breaking from the same feeling I felt. Longing. She was alive all these years. All these years I wished I had someone to share my anguish.My foster mother, or rather my mother was alive. She was the only woman in my life that stood the mother figure for me. I forgot all about everything for the next moment and ran into her weak embrace.My eyes watered as I looked in awe at her. Every strand of her hair was grey. But there was no mistaking her eyes and her voice. I hugged her again. Unable to believe my eyes."Fate has brought us back together. I never thought i'ld find you ever again," she sobbed. I took her hands, as he seemed to be weak. I guided her to one of the seats in the lobby."Athena... I'm sorry for all I've caused

    Dante's POVI couldn't tell if it was the recent stress from the kingdom or my emotions toiling with my mind, but I could swear that I felt her presence. I perceived her.I knew it was impossible for her to be around. No one would ever come back after such rejection."Why are you out of your room, mother?" I approached my mum as I arrived at the lobby.The other woman in front of me backed me, but I saw my daughter in her hands. She must be one of the maids.I noticed the tears in my mother's eyes. I was forced to ask,"What happened while I was away? Was there another attack? Can someone answer me? Where are the other maids?" I continued, but I got no reply. I was about yelling at the woman, whom I mistook for a maid when she turned around."Athena..." my words trailed off. My worry-stricken face melt into fear, passion and regret. I lived to regret the very day I rejected her. I wished there was some way I could seek forgive or turn back the hand of the clock. But I knew Athena. T

    Athena's POVThey all gathered around me, wanting to here how and where I found Cosmo. I walked into the cabin, along with the same woman who helped breast feed her in my absence. I uttered no words to anyone, including Kevin."Under no circumstance should she ever leave your sight," I ordered and went back outside."Gather around, Every single one," I sent a message to the general mindlink. Waiting at the forest clearing. I marveled at the growing pack as they converged in troops. Drooping heads, agile spirits. That was all they knew best to do. If they were competent, Cosmo would have never left my sight. I would never have set my eyes on Dante. I would have lived with the version of him I chose to believe. Now, it was all ruined. Too late to go back in time. He was the beast. He was everything I never imagined. The worst. And there was no going back this time. My tiny hope of us getting back together had been dashed against a rock.But to make that work, I had to prepare my pack.

    Athena's POVPain exploded in my skull as Scarlett's fist connected with my temple. The crowd around us gasped, ready to come to my defense, but I held up a hand to stop them. I was the Alpha, chosen by the moon goddess herself. There was no way an ordinary wolf was stronger than me. But as I stumbled back, reeling from the blow, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of doubt.Scarlett advanced, a sneer twisting her blood-stained lips, "So much for an Alpha," she taunted, and I gritted my teeth, struggling to pull myself together before she could land another hit."That's enough," growled Kevin, stepping forward. His eyes glowed a soft orange, a sign that his wolf was close to the surface. "She's trying to kill you, Athena."I glared at him, my heart pounding with a mix of fear and anger. "Stay out of this, Kevin. This is strictly my business and I'll prove a point to her.""I swore to protect you on the night of your coronation," he reminded me, his voice low and fierce.

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.

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

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

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. 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.

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.
