My whole being stopped when I saw my parents dead body before me, drying my throat, stealing my ability to fathom accompanied by a scream of anguish.“Noo!!”A screen of tears blurred my vision, my chest throbbed explicitly in pain, not believing their bodies were before me with fresh blood flowing out yet not a single sign of a breath.“Mother..!! Father..!!”Screaming with tears streaming down my face, I rushed to their side, holding their bloody body close, checking their pulse in hope but to no avail.“No, no, no, please don’t leave me. You can’t leave me!” Releasing the unbearable and painful sob of my life, I kept Father’s hand in mind. Their blood began to stain my dress as the tears had no halt.Sobbing badly, I felt suffocated, devastated to lose him. I felt the purpose of my life being slipped, leaving me vulnerable and worthless.“Who am I without you guys? What am I going to do? You can’t leave me like this.”Opening my blurring and agonizing eyes, I took a closer look at
After being knocked out badly and being accused of the crime I never committed, my eyes gradually opened and I found myself in a room. Seemingly in an infirmary as my body throbbed in immeasurable pain, my body felt weak but I could feel my insides curling. “Argh…” With my chest being stabbed and agonized continuously, my eyes felt heavy from the constant crying but it was not enough to empty my heart.Mother, Father… and Darius, how dare he blame me for that?“Where.. Am I?”Groaning, I looked around and saw an elderly lady, coming to me with a smile.“Relax, Dear, you are safe and with me.” She reassured me.I recognized her among the oldest she-wolves with exceptional medical skills.“Are you alright, Dear?” She asked softly, checking my body. “No, I am not okay. My body. It’s hurting… badly. Make it stop.” I told her honestly, my voice cracking but it was hurting too much.Taking rapid breaths to subdue the pain but tears pricked and began to roll down from the corner, turnin
With crushed hopes and a heavy heart overflowing with mourn, I was thrown before our King to decide my miserable future.‘But, at this point, what do I have to lose? My family? My lover? My child? What did I have left in the first place?’“My Lord, here is Athena Becker.”Jared informed, pushing me forward as I fell on the ground, tears smeared over my cheeks. I had never felt this pathetic in my entire life.All horrible emotions were attacking me all at once.“My Lord, please, I didn’t do anything. This has to be a misunderstanding.” I whispered desperately.But, I doubt any justifications would help me at this point, I had nowhere to escape. “How could you do this, Athena? Murdering your own family?” His Majesty asked from disappointment, frowning at me. “I swear, my Lord, I haven’t done anything. I was returning home and when I did, I found them dead. Ask Darius, he was with me.” I cried, bending on my knees, joining my fingers together, turning to Darius.I was begging for merc
'His one statement in my defense could have saved me. But he proved he was selfish and chose to drown me for his advantage.'I was thrown away after losing my family and my reason to live. By the hands of the ruthless Alpha who discarded the love we once had and murdered my soul.It was horrible, I was afraid, infuriated, anguished and amid that, being in the dungeon made it all worse.“Ah, come here.” The jailer said, grabbing my wrist, pushing me against the wall.“Leave me, please…” Shutting my eyes, all I could do was to beg him for mercy, to spare me my left dignity."Why?" He chuckled devilishly, touching my skin with his disgusting hands.“Let me go…” Harassed and abused physically, I gave up on myself. The pain inflicted on my soul was inexplicable.It turned me cold, it turned me emotionless.All with one desire burning in my hollow chest. Revenge'I swear I will make you pay, I will return the same anguish you gave me, Darius.' I thought furiously, not caring if there we
PRESENT.“You are right. Allow me to end this misery for you.” Darius breathed out, curling my hands in a fist.After torturing my body to show he had captured me, I pinched his nerves and he grabbed the bottle, broke it. “Do it… release me. I am not dying to live anyways.” I scoffed, not removing her eyes from him as he approached me slowly.He was determined to end me, to kill me and free both of us from this anguish.“Goodbye, Athena.” He breathed out.“And beside…” I looked away for a second and decided to hit him where it hurts the most to steal the breath from his soul with a hysterical smirk.“When your hands didn’t hesitate to kill ‘our’ child then why would they stop before hurting me?”The second those words left my lips, his eyes widened. I could sense the hint of hesitation and agony which flashed in his eyes.All the memories he buried flashed before his mind and the bottle fell from his hands with retreating steps.“What is stopping you? Kill me and avenge Luna how I h
DARIUS ALFONSO.Her words, her gleaming hatred, all of her emotions were flashing before my eyes and infuriated me. I failed to subdue it.I was looking down with my fingers joined together, looking down with an inscrutable expression over my face which my Father noticed.“What happened, Darius? You look disturbed.” Father called, resting his hand over my shoulder.Exhaling, I pressed my teeth together and looked down more.“Because I am.” “Did Athena say something?” He sighed, taking a seat next to me.“What else could it be?” I sighed, rubbing my temples as Julius also entered, frowning deeply at my demeanor but it was uncontrollable.“I don’t understand, Brother, that woman is nothing to you then why do you care? Let her speak whatever she wants.” He sighed, shaking his head in disappointment.I exhaled loudly to display my exasperation, turning to him gradually.“I am not a statue, Julius, who could turn oblivious and emotionless. It… infuriates me.” Taking a pause, they all not
ATHENA BECKER. “What was wrong with him? Why compassion for someone who killed his lover? And why was seeing him close to me infuriating me?” I muttered under my breath. It was reviving old memories and increasing my pain. I hate it when he comes close to me. I hate it when he touches me. I hate all of it because I knew it was fake and the gentleness of his touch forced me to think about things I knew were a deception. ‘Stop it, Athena, don’t be fooled by his affectation and fake display of compassion. All of it is a lie.’ I mentally scolded myself. I must leave as quickly as possible before I get swayed. With a deep breath, I was hoping to shift my mind from his thoughts to somewhere else. But t o amplify my condition, he came. “Dinner.” His piercing cold tone came, placing the tray of my everyday food on the mattress. It had been a month and I was eating the same food constantly to the point I was getting sick of it. My lips curled downward. But then I thought of using th
I ran, I ran where my feet took me. Wanting to go as far as possible, so far that if I scream or die, he won’t be able to reach me. Too far from him. “Please, tell me it’s a lie. This has to be a lie.” I managed to grab my weapon as they had my blood on them and I could feel them before rushing out of his domain. “No, no, no, it can’t be. Please!” I whisper-yelled from stress. My heart was on the verge of bursting from my chest, my mind was clouded with unwanted and painful cognition, stealing my ability to think and perceive properly. My throat was dried, my body was shaking badly with blood stained on my clothes, my lips began to tremble followed by unwanted tears brimming in my eyes. “FUCK!!” I screamed, shutting my eyes with those intolerable sensations. A painful tear rolled down my cheek, my chest tightened badly, feeling my mate was in pain but- I would rather die than to accept this bond. ‘How could I feel that in the first place? I am a human, this shouldn't be poss
After separating our paths with King Hadrian and doing the exchange, giving him his mate. We returned to the land of rogues.The place where no rules apply and you live happily.“There is your new home, guys, a place where a human and werewolf relationship is not forbidden. Where you can live happily.”Janine happily introduced to the enormous land, almost a community living in harmony.The proud work of Janine Becker. Blood Hunters.“You made it?” Athena asked in disbelief, glancing at her, not expecting she was capable of creating such a masterpiece.“Yes. The second I had to stain my hands with our parent’s blood, I swore to myself to create a world where such laws won’t exist. I have created this place for you guys, for us.” She nodded sorrowfully, curling her hands in a fist from powerlessness.“Janine.”Returning a sweet smile, Athena held her shoulder, giving it a stern squeeze. Sighing, she removed her hand and returned a beautiful toothy smile.“But, no more tears. This is yo
PAST.DARIUS ALFONSO.A tear rolled down my cheek, I was with Janine, curling my hands in a fist, gritting my teeth."Why did this happen to me?" I growled after finding Blue as my mate. She was on the ground with a graceful smirk over her lips, pushing her short hair behind."You are the first person I have seen who was depressed after meeting his mate." She teased me but I was not in the mood for it."What should I do? Why didn't you do anything?" I argued, holding my sides, pacing around with frustration.She scoffed, "I am not your babysitter. They are going to keep an eye on you. If they find out you are with a human- they will kill both of you.""I know. But, I don’t want to break Athena's heart. She is too fragile, Janine." I whispered desperately.I was afraid of her reaction, afraid to hurt her and I knew this bond would drown me in the end- which it did.Rising from the ground, she stared dead into my eyes."Do whatever you want but if my sister's heart breaks- so will your
I was in utter disbelief when I saw her, looking more elegant than before. Her hairs grow long but the dominance surrounding her never faded.“You… are alive?” I asked vaguely.Clinging onto Darius’s arms, blinking in confusion at her while she merely smirked at my reaction.“Yes. Alive and well.” Nodding her heels clicked against the floor, approaching us gradually while turning her glance to King Hadrian.“I don't understand… how..?” I asked, swallowing hard, turning to Darius and back to her.“I couldn’t understand, they told me you had died, I was accused of it then how..?” I asked, narrowing my eyes with bewilderment.But displeased with my reaction, King Hadrian turned to me, frowning at me.“Are you deaf, Athena? I just told you she helped me in assassination.” He mocked, reminding me.But I was too lost in Darius’s words and my realizations that I failed to grasp the depth of his words. Janine was alive all along.“She was there all along.” King Hadrian scoffed but I was too
A needle pierced through my soul when I heard it. I could feel my worlds coming to a crash when the truth hidden from me came to the surface.In a hidden corner, I prayed that he had a reason. And I kept hating him for five years.“No, this ill fortune land. How could it do this to me?” I whispered, covering my mouth.My steps stumbled but Darius held my shoulder, staring intensely at my teary eyes hoping to console me but nothing could help me.“As long as it was a juvenile love, they ignored us but after my mate… After finding Blue, I… remained loyal and committed to you.”How wrong I considered him?“Three months after meeting Blue, you were with me, you didn’t leave me. You… loved me all this time.” My lips began to shake, holding him with all my might, tears blurring my vision. He nodded, heartbroken, “Yes, I did and they came to know about it so I had to make a harsh choice and to save you, I chose Blue.”He explained and I continued from where he left off, completing the jus
“My revenge is completed today.” “W-What? All this… y-your revenge?” He couldn’t form a sentence properly anymore. His jaw dropped, losing his breaths to perceive what he heard but to no avail. The look of flabbergast on his face was extremely desirable. “T-This can’t be… We were mates.. Weren’t we?” “So what?” He shivered, having no words at this point while deep down he understood that it was all my plan but was not ready to accept it. “What? You thought I would be weak and pathetic again after seeing how weak ones are treated in this cursed land?” “What everything… a lie? A ruse?” He asked and I couldn’t answer. No. It wasn’t. “Weak dies. That is the rule and you are not the only person who is good with manipulation.” I told him seriously. Pointing my finger at him, pressing it over his heart, feeling how rapidly it was thumping. “Manipulation?” He was in complete shambles, not wanting to believe what he was hearing but I confirmed it. “Although you almost broke m
We were in the throne room, tears were glistening on my cheeks, clinging onto a female hunter who was hugging as I sobbed. “Monster.” I hissed at Darius, holding her while glaring at him. Darius was before everyone. He was on his knees, hands cuffed behind his back, looking down while everyone was staggered how he could do this. But he knew he fucked up because of being too emotional. “Continue.” King Hadrian came, frowning deeply at Darius, motioning to the person to start the court where his punishment shall be decided. “Name?” They asked Darius. His head was hanging low. Failing to look up, curling his hands in a fist as I kept glaring at him with my watery eyes. “Darius Alfonso.” His cold tone came out. “Status?” They asked him again strictly. “Alpha of the Scarlet Moon pack.” “Crime?” “Cold blood murder of Jax, head of the hunters.” I growled to find this look of emotionless on his face, having no regret of staining his hand in Jax’s blood. My Lord growled to he
ATHENA BECKER. Dressed as a bride, at my wedding night, I stood still with my heart thumping abnormally as Jax entered nonchalantly. “Hey.” He smiled, waved at me, and kicked the door close. “Hey.” I smiled back, looking down bashfully, not believing I actually got married to Jax. My wedding night. This thought was drying my throat. Vexing me in anticipation to imagine it would lead. “You.. look beautiful.” He whispered, taking my hand and kissing my knuckles, smiling sweetly at me. “Thanks. You are looking handsome too.” I whispered sheepishly. “You should change. The dress must be heavy.” He cleared his throat, moving back and taking off his coat and bowtie. “Yeah. I am going to do it. I wanted you to see here first.” I nodded, tugging my hair behind my ear, taking off the jewelry and unhooking the dress. We both changed into something comfortable. My face flushed when I looked at the bed, the thought of what was about to happen arose a tension in my body. Jax had change
After pushing her into a turmoil of distress and stealing her strength at my open threat, we returned and the disquiet expression on her face made me smirk devilishly. Everyone could feel the terror emitting from her while I was smirking with my hands in my pockets, walking with a high head.Leaving them pondering what we talked about which left her in an abyss.“Athena?” King Hadrian’s mouth gaped to find Athena being unable to lift her gaze.He could feel her fear and glared at me for taking advantage of her emotional state and worsening it.“What did you do, Darius?” He asked seriously, rising from the throne and coming closer.“My Lord, he.. He..” Athena opened her mouth to whimper but shrugging my shoulders, I kept my posture. “I threatened her. I gave her a warning.”I acted nonchalantly and put my one hand in the air as if it meant nothing. His mouth gaped, frowning at me, displeased.“And you know the consequences of threatening my huntress and going extreme, don’t you?” He
We walked, I could feel her breaths tightening around her throat, inviting me causing the impish smirk on my face to widen. I glanced at her from time to time to increase her tension and embarrassment. “What happened?” I asked, magnifying her stress, pushing her into a corner. “Nothing.” She whispered, not lifting her gaze from the ground. “Why are you here?” She asked faintly, disturbed about my strict posture but I spoke dominantly. “I believe I told you I want to talk to you alone.” And the second we were all alone, I grabbed her arms roughly and threw her against the wall. She gasped, afraid, shaking in apprehension. “Darius.” She swallowed hard the lump in her throat and was about to push me away but I put my hand over her lips to hush her. “Shh.” My one hand was above her head to trap her petite body under my, looking down at her nervous and stressed form with a sinful smirk. Moving my finger gradually over her lips, making her quiver, leaving her numb as I could feel
