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 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 MONTGOMERY'S POINT OF VIEW*“ 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, h

*ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW*I dialed my lawyer's number and after a few seconds of ringing, he finally picked it up. “ Good day sir, please prepare a divorce paper, I'm divorcing my husband" I said coldly before ending the call.I was expecting Sebastian's call, I knew it was going to be a huge shock to him. And almost immediately, just as I had predicted, my phone rang and the caller id was none other than Sebastian Stone, my almighty husband. A cold smile formed on my lips as I stared at my ringing phone. “ Let's see who begs the other now" I snarled icyly. I had never been this way before, over the years, I was a calm and caring little wife but Sebastian had woken up the monster in me. After the phone rang to my heart's content, I decided to pick it up. “ Have you gone insane, Athena?!" Sebastian barked, his voice sounding raspy. “ The hospital called and said Sienna needs urgent treatment as soon as possible! What do you want huh? Name your price! Ten million? Five million? What

*ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW*As soon as we entered his office, he turned to face me, his eyes blazing with fury.“ What the hell has gotten over you, Athena?!" He roared angrily and his look of frustration on his face gladdened my heart. “ What exactly is your problem?!” He asked again but I didn't reply to his question. My face was pale and emotionless, I was not going to let him manipulate me anymore. “ Athena" he called again as he pinched the skin between his brows. “ I know you have donated so much plasma this month but I also make sure I compensate you for everything! What has gotten over you?!”I was bubbling with anger, how dare him raise his voice at me?! “ Let's get a divorce, Sebastian" I said coldly as I raised my head up to meet his icy gaze. I didn't want to have anything to do with Sebastian anymore. “ Let's get a divorce" I said again, my voice barely a whisper. I raised my gaze, scanning Sebastian. His handsome face and green orbs had never for once looked at me with

ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEWI didn't wait for Demetrius to say anything and fortunately, he didn't follow me out either. “ Queen's hospital!" I said, hailing down a taxi that would take me straight to the hospital Siena was in. As the taxi drove to the hospital, I stared outside the window with a far away look. Telling Sebastian about the divorce was the best thing that had happened to me. I felt as though a heavy weight had been lifted off me, I felt free for the first time in six years of marriage with Sebastian. I was so lost in thoughts that I didn't know when the taxi driver stopped in front of the hospital. “ Ma'am, we're here” the taxi driver announced as the car came to a halt. I Jolted in shock at the sound of his voice but immediately composed myself. " Thanks” I muttered as I got down. I paid him the transport fare. Before driving off, he looked up at me with a pitiful look. " It's well” he said with a light smile as he drove off, which left me speechless for a while but

ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW " oh Sienna Gonzalez '' I seethed. “ I know this is all you have ever wanted I your miserable life; to replace me as Sebastian's rightful wife but not to worry, congratulations, in a short time, you are gonna bear the title of Mrs Sienna Stone, legitimate daughter of the almighty stone's family” a bittersweet smile formed on my lips as those words left my mouth. I knew it was not going to be easy but this was what i wanted, this was the best decision I have ever made. " Stop saying nonsense, Athena” Sebastian groaned as he pinched the skin between his brows. " Don't!" I snapped, turning to face him as my eyes burned with fury. “ Don't you dare tell me that I'm saying nonsense, Sebastian, you don't have the right so I would advise you to watch your words!" Sebastian didn't reply to my outburst, his expression remained cold and unchanging as he lifted the printed picture up and stared at it once again. I glanced at Sienna, she shifted her gaze to Sebastia

ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW Nothing much had changed about the Stone's mansion. It had the same terrifying yet intimidating look about it, the only difference was the time I spent away from it. Slightly I felt nervous, but I was no longer the same woman they had so cruelly maltreated years ago. Now, I was "Adeline's", that was my brand's name. I had built prestige and confidence in myself and I was even more confident about staring Sebastian Stone in the face.There were some familiar faces and some unfamiliar faces as we entered the house, our purpose was stated and we were granted access into the mansion. The first face I saw was one I dreaded, one I desperately wanted to tear down, Sienna. The shock on her face said alot."Athena!" Her pronunciation of my name came with an appalling tone which reflected surprise and disbelief. Yet, She couldn't even hide her distaste. I wasn't bothered by it, her surprise was enough for me."Sienna, fancy meeting you here after a long time. I see you

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
