“ Ping!" A message popped into my phone loudly.
Almost immediately, I rushed out of the bathroom with a towel round my chest, my body still dripping with water because I had not dried it properly.
I picked up my phone and read the message, ‘ please go over to the hospital and donate plasma as soon as you can!’ the message read.
I stared at the screen of my phone blankly, I felt a pang of pain in my chest but at this moment, I was helpless.
The message was from my supposed husband, Sebastian.
Suddenly, another message popped up on my phone.
“ Ping!"
I sighed deeply as I checked to see what it was about. It was a message from the bank, I had received a fund transfer of $750,000 from Sebastian.
“ Goddamn you, Sebastian!" I cursed through gritted teeth as I scrolled through my chats with my so-called mate, Sebastian. Our marriage was strained, although I was his destined mate, he still despised me and only accepted me as his because of Sienna, his lover.
‘ don't forget to go to the hospital'
‘ fund transfer of $500,000’
‘ you are needed at the hospital immediately!’
‘ fund transfer of $800,000’
I had no other intimate or romantic chats with him anymore, our chats were just filled with donations of plasma and fund transfers. I was a powerful white she wolf, that was why my plasma was needed by Sienna, a weak omega who had been suffering from a severe disease ever since she was born.
In our five long and excruciating painful years of marriage, my mate, Sebastian Stone, only spoke to me or made contact with me only to donate or more likely, sell my plasma to none other than Sienna Gonzalez.
Our strained marital relationship was so bad up to the point that I was not allowed to bear his surname as mine. I was treated like a total stranger by Sebastian.
This month alone, I donated my plasma more than ten times! And it was much more than my body could handle.
Feeling down, I plopped down on my bed, I could feel my eyes become sour and watery.
Our pack house was situated at the outskirts of town, away from the prying eyes of the curious humans and it was two hours drive to the hospital and I wasn't in the mood to go anywhere.
I was sad and more especially angry with myself for accepting him as my mate and entering a loveless marriage with a heartless monster!
Although I was a powerful she wolf, The excessive donations I made over the month made me feel weak and drowsy.
“ I'm tired, Athena" my wolf, lurline, growled. " Our mate is toxic”
I sighed deeply, I too was tired. " I know, lurline” I replied.
Biting down on my lower lips, I held onto my phone, staring down at the recent message Sebastian sent. I was unsure whether I should reply to it or not.
Just as I was contemplating on whether to reply or not, a message that threatened to destroy my remaining ounce of self respect popped up in my phone.
‘ ping!!’ it rang ruthlessly.
‘ you fucked up home wrecker!’ it read. ‘ You are nothing but a contracted wife to Sebastian Stone, your marriage with him is just based on lies and deceit! A loveless marriage! You are nothing but a shameless runt! Although you had been married to Sebastian for five long years he had never even touched you or acknowledged that you were his wife!’
I felt my eyes sting with tears, the pain in my heart becoming much more worse. My eyelids became heavy, I could hardly continue to stare at this vague message. I felt suffocated and broken. Of course I was Sebastian Stone's legal wife! Five years ago I left my family and close friends to be with this monster of a husband only to be called a home wrecker by some unknown person?!
Following the despicable message, a picture popped up in my phone yet again. It was Sebastian's calm sleeping face which looked as handsome and as flawless as always. Although I despised Sebastian, I could not help but be drawn to his handsome, delicate and well sculpted facial features which looked like they were sculpted patiently by the moon goddess herself. His dark long hair cascaded down his face, covering up a part of his closed eyes and lord..he looked so yummy!
My eyes traveled to the other person in the picture, which was none other than Sienna Gonzalez. She was nestled in Sebastian's shoulder and although both their eyes were cold, I could not help but notice the sly smirk at the corner of Sienna's lips which showed she was wide awake.
I knew she intentionally did this just to mock me and make me feel even more pained and dejected as ever. Why did she derive joy doing this and what the hell was her reason behind all her foolish actions?!
Just as I was drowning with my misery, my phone suddenly rang, bringing me back to reality.
I looked at the caller id and it was my mother in law, Scarlett Stones, the former Luna of the pack, calling. Just like her son, she was also a handful, another problem I had to deal with.
I rolled my eyes and picked it up.
“ Ma'am” I greeted with a low, gruff voice.
But, instead of reciprocating my greetings, she hollered at the other end of the phone.
" Lazy elephant! Have you forgotten what day it is?! The maids are on break and you need to come and do the dishes, arrange the house and cook for us immediately!”
Without saying a word, I quietly hung up the phone and lowered my head, tears streaming down my cheeks.
Why me? I always asked myself. Why was my life so painful?! I had done everything to please this goddamn pack I entered as a daughter in-law but no one appreciated my hard work! At this point, I was overwhelmed with anger and frustration, no one dared to treat me as trash, never!
I was supposed to be the young Luna of the nightwalker pack but instead, I was treated like trash by both my mate, his family and even the pack members, a nobody! But, despite all these treatments I stayed meek and humble with the fear of upsetting Sebastian.
“ Was my five years of marriage with Sebastian just a joke?” I asked myself. “
Why did Sebastian despise me so much? What have I ever done to him? Was falling in love with him a crime?
I was not a golddigger, I didn't marry him for his money nor did I accept him as my mate because of his reputation yet he treated me like one! Always sending me money to go and do something as filthy as donating my plasma to that bitch, Sienna, all without my free will!
I raised my head up, anger coursing through my veins.
“ It's time for the joke of a marriage to be over" I muttered to myself as I picked up my phone.
Instead of replying to Sebastian's message with what he wanted to hear, I sent another thing instead.
‘ Let's get a divorce, I'm ready to accept your rejection as your mate! I'm done!’
Hendrix POVI stood gravely before the large ceremonial fire, the flickering flames creating dance shadows on the old stones around me. For my family history, this hallowed place carried decades of power and memories. Tonight, I could sense the weight of that legacy heavy with respect and feeling.Raising my arms, I started the hallowed rights passed down over innumerable years. "We come here on this holy equinox to pay tribute to Athena and Sebastian, the fabled founders of our family. Along with building this wonderful family, the mates whose unwavering love and unbreakable friendship shaped the entire path of our lives.As the gathered members of my pack listened with great concentration, my words rang across the quiet forest grove. We gathered together as one on this night, mothers and fathers with babies in arms, wizened elderly with lined faces, raucous younglings hardly able to contain their excitement."Their story is one of huge hardships faced with far more fortitude, of dar
Athena & Sebastian's POV Athena's povI sighed contentedly as I savored the brilliant glow of the fall sunset streaming over the large den windows. I curled in my beloved overstuffed chair while ribbons of blazing orange and crimsons bathed the old timber beams in warm, nostalgic colors.Though my face showed the wrinkles and lines from a very busy life, I felt an ageless tranquility cover me like a gentle, reassuring blanket. Once so brilliant and strong, my piercing blue eyes now reflected a calm ocean of earned knowledge and fulfillment.A faintly familiar smell of cedarwood and spice floated around as two strong, worn-out hands gently rested on my thin shoulders with learned sensitivity. Sebastian bent down to tenderly kiss my forehead, and I reached up to grab his palm. "You look so wonderfully calm, my eternal goddess," he said softly, his voice rasping but preserving that virile tone that still made my heart flutter after all these years. Looking up at him with a gentle smil
Hendrix POVAs I looked at the young people fresh-faced before me, the crackling fires covered the ancient lair in a warm, flickering brilliance. Though soft in years, I could already see the marks of great leaders in their controlled poses and focused eyes.These dogs stood for the birth of a new age to be developed on the hard-earned ideas and visions left to us by my heroic parents, therefore reflecting the future of our combined packs. It was now my great responsibility as Athena and Sebastian's son and Jax my younger brother to educate this new generation those revered values and ancestral knowledge."You all know the significance of why we've convened here this night," I began, letting my rich baritone carry the whole weight of the occasion. "The holy ceremonies to raise you from students to sovereigns over the continuation of our civilization's enlightened precepts."A handful of the younger ones seemed uncomfortable at the gravity of my words. I wore a forced smile on my worn
Anna POVAcross the sandstone walls of the den, soft candlelight danced shadows that appeared to bring the old etchings to life. Scenes of great wars, somber ceremonies, and the otherworldly visues of the ancient ones danced in the dazzling light. I inhaled steadying, letting the holy aura envelop me as I dropped myself onto the soft fur before the ceremonial fire pit. My fingertips gently stroked the strong wood lovingly white oak blessed by Luna Amara herself, drenched in berries. Its airy, cleansing tendrils brushed my flesh like a phantom mist.Since I had formally adopted Alpha's mantle, today was the first full moon. A fresh moon cycle was breaking through a fresh era. One whereby I would guide our unified alliance into an unparalleled period of peace and illumination. No little chore for a young person two decades old. But my spiritual background and the iron will have passed on from my ancestors inundated my very cells with blessed power and conviction. Little footsteps' gen
Athena POVTen Years A flickering in the lifetime of an eternal, but eons appeared to have changed all around me. From the roots of conflict and hardship Sebastian and I had lived, so much had blossomed.The den bathroom mirror flashed back a mature beauty, residual youthful brightness now enhanced by a royal, almost imperial posture. Laugh lines framed whole lips, showing a ten-year history of great happiness. My small, toned body nevertheless turned alpha heads. Sebastian most definitely never gets bored with destroying me every night as lovesick newlyweds do.As I turned the diamond encrusted wedding band around my finger, I felt a gentle satisfaction. Now the perfect unity symbol I had created for that terrible Sienna embodied the purest spousal loyalty. The great light of our love had sterilized her deadly daggers of betrayal and evil. A high pitched shriek pulled me from dream. I grinned, adjusting my summer tunic as tiny feet pounded closer. The door opened and a tiny tornado
Sienna Mother POVMy tending tools' regular clunk against the hard-packed mud floor offered a calm cadence. Every careful cut of root vegetables and herb mixing functioned as a little ritualistic offering to drive out the demons of past misdeeds.I still felt the weight of that darkness weighing down on me, an inky, stifling miasma of sadness, wrath, and misplaced vengeance almost corrupting me beyond redemption even now. The road I had begun down in the name of exacting revenge for my daughter Sienna was one tinged with terrible crimes and sins. But I had been spared completely giving my soul to those horrible depths by the kindness and intelligence of the Nightwalkers and allied packs. My life had been given an improbable continuity, a chance atonement I knew I could never merit.Sometimes even the basic tasks of attending to the spiritual and medical needs of our new haven felt like an unjustified privilege. The mother of a deranged, homicidal monstrosity, how could I be given r
Athena POVOur caravan reached the last mountain pass as the first rays of light were barely peeping over the horizon. A collective silence descended over the worn-out procession of wolves as the jagged forms gave way to the expansive views beyond.This was it the rich valley Hendrix had sought with every deliberate step of our exhausting journey. Virgin and pure like the earth before the embrace of civilization's development, a real paradise unspoiled by human efforts. As we first viewed the panoramic sight, Sebastian's calming presence at my side helped me. From this distance, the promise of refuge emanated from the very ground itself - a rich, earthy scent that piqued my increased lupine senses. Hendrix signaled for the packs to make camp just inside the pass, clearly understanding the need to gather before setting off into our fresh starts. Though tired to the bone, the assembled thrumming masses carried a tangible pulse of relief and expectation."Well!" The austere rumbling of
Sebastian POVOur large pack was leaving the gathering grounds as the first rays of dawn just peaked on the horizon. Though my body had long since given up the vitality of youth, in those first moments an almost electric stream of energy surged through me. This was it, the start of our magnificent journey into hitherto undiscovered territory.My eyes strayed over the line of wolves walking solemnly beside me. So many well-known people, generations of bloodlines and kinships entwined under those lupine pelts. It was a humble sight that sent off a reflexive protectiveness right down in my core.Whatever paths forward, whatever dangers we were destined to face, I would make sure our people came out on the other side intact. Too much had already been given up to let this desperate endeavor fall apart before it could start."You're quite reflective this morning." As Athena dropped into step next to me, her little voice caught my attention. " EVEN for you."I sensed the rueful half-smile of
Hendrix POVI waited in the hole for the packs to react to my suggestion in great silence. The choice of whether to leave our ancestral house felt like a millstone around every lupine throat. It was against every strand of our beings to uproot our whole lives and to turn our backs on the places that had protected us for ages. Still, the hard fact of cold could not be overlooked the human world was invading far too much of our land. If we stayed, exposure and the carnage that would surely follow seemed like an increasingly certain fate. The alphas started nodding their terrible assent one by one. First was Drystan, with his sharp but firm rugged features. The grizzled warrior understood the great need of this circumstance after seeing enough cycles of violence and death. "You make a good point, Hendrix," he rumbled, his rich baritone booming across the hollow. "Much as it hurts, we have to give our packs top priority. If moving is the only way we can guarantee our ongoing safety and
