Return of the rejected white she luna CHAPTER 21
SEBASTIAN'S POINT OF VIEWThrough out the engagement party, I wondered what Athena was doing. I wanted to be with her, spend some time with her instead of being trapped in a crowd with people I didn't want to be seen with.Everything proceeded smoothly, the security has covered the environment as I had ordered, even then I felt worried. My senses never lied when something was wrong. I walked through the maze outside hoping to catch some air and understand what was wrong. Then I saw the lights at the Greenhouse were still on. A smile came to my lips, she was still here, but the minute I thought of her, my heart skipped a beat. I walked towards the greenhouse, the door was ajar."Strange" I thought to myself. As I walked into the room, it was empty. There was food on the table and a glass of wine. The food looked untouched except for a small piece that had been removed.I picked up the glass and put it to my nose, just as fast, I took it away from my nose. "Damn! What was that smell?!"

ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW I hadn't expected to wake up to the light of day again. After the previous night, everything had gone dark, the pain which coursed through me was evidence that I was going to die. The room looked dark because the curtains were closed. There were several bouquets of flowers on the table beside me and on the chair. My entire body hurt and my mouth was dry, my lips felt chapped and everything tasted and smelt like chemicals. I looked at the drip connected to my vein, "another chemical" I thought and threw my head back on the pillow. The door opened and a Doctor I recognized walked in. "Had Sienna brought me to the hospital?" I thought but that didn't sound right. Sienna hated me.Doctor Steve had a smile of relief on his face and I managed a slight grin which made my face hurt."You look like shit Athena. Thank God" it was an odd comment but I smiled at it because it came from a good place. Dr. Steve was the only one in the Stone family who had ever treated me wit

SEBASTIAN'S POINT OF VIEWIt was a crazy decision I had just taken but I knew it was a worthy one. I couldn't imagine losing Athena in this lifetime. I had just risked my family's alliance with Sienna's family but I was already sick of doing everything they wanted me to do. This was one sacrifice I couldn't just make. But why would Sienna even suggest I let Athena die? It all seemed kind of off, who poisoned her? Who took the drink and food to her? And dragged her to the Shed? Only few people had access to the Mansion's properties , so it had to be someone within the family.If I found out that Sienna or Scarlett had something to do with what happened to Athena, they wouldn't like my response.I drove down to the office even though Dr. Steve had warned me about stress. I was an Alpha wolf, I was going to be fine at the end of the day. Athena was all that really mattered to me. Mateo walked into my office almost immediately I sent for him."I need you to run a series of investigations

SEBASTIAN'S POINT OF VIEWIt took alot from me to stay calm, it was too soon to react, I needed more information to confirm these facts. It made complete sense but it was madness in its entirety. Only one thing could distract me and that was Athena. "Mateo" I called. "I want you to find more information on this, and get it to me as soon as possible" I said my eyes going blind with rage. I needed to see Athena, seeing her would make me calm.I got into the car and drove straight to the hospital. I picked up a bouquet of Madonna lilies outside the hospital and took them up to her room. I wasnt surprised to see her up and doing. She was no longer hooked up."Great recovery" I smiled and put the flowers down. She smiled a one sided smile and sat up."Thank you for saving me"she said looking up at me."Yeah " I shrugged."Why?" She asked and I looked down at her. "Why what?" I asked back "Why did you save me? Anybody could have donated that kidney to me but...you chose to do it . Why?"

SEBASTIAN'S POINT OF VIEW"What else did you find?" I asked Mateo quietly while we met outside the Mansion one morning. "Boss, I spoke with Miss Athena's secretary and she informed me that there was an extra parcel ordered alongside ma'am Sienna's Brotelli diamond on the day of the engagement. She asked for the invoice and order request from Miss Athena a day before. I tried to align the results you sent to me with the parcel received and the parcel order was that of a rare spider venom mixed in silver. That's what was written on the order of the parcel she received the goods from. There's only one drop shipper for wolves in the West. That's where I found the order receipt." He said handing me the order receipt. I checked the paper work and everything was just as he had relayed it."What about the background check?" I asked my sunglasses shielding my face."Here is the flash I put every information on" He said and handed me the flash."Hmm" I sighed, I knew I wouldn't like what I wo

ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW"What rubbish are you spitting?" I asked Scarlett becoming extremely furious that she would dare speak about my Mother."Leader of a white wolf pack. Did she really think she wouldn't have oppositions? I respected your mother as a woman of power but character was not her strong suit""How dare you?!" I growled standing up with my claws out ready to fight, but Scarlett sat unwavered."Yes, exactly, reveal the rogue in you. You don't belong to a pack Athena, you belong in the wild with Charlatans just like yourself. Homeless monsters" she said"You're the Monster! You think you are any better than the rest of us?! You're an Animal, Scarlett Stone!" I snarled. She merely laughed at my reaction, she was getting exactly what she wanted."Sit down, Athena, I'm not finished." She said with a compelling authority that made me calm down. Alphas always had that ability over the members of their pack, even a Luna."There is a way out of all of this for you, take the money

ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEWEverything made perfect sense to me as I walked towards the Pier, I had already booked my flight and the next day I was going to leave New York for good, nothing was ever going to bring me back to this horrid place. I looked around as I drove, this time she didn't ask to meet by the Pier, she requested I come to the riverside. Aunt Rojas wanted me to pay one last visit and to meet the family who took care of her and in her words "A place you can always come home if you decide to ever come back".I walked towards the river bank. I called her as soon as I got there. In a matter of minutes, a clan of thirty people stepped out of the forest . They surrounded me but did not attack, they were a pack of multi colored people and I could tell they were wolves of diverse colours. I loved the mix, it felt like home.A man in his 59s walked up to me, his hair white and his eyes were a glowing brown. He looked familiar but I wasn't certain what it was about him that felt fa

SEBASTIAN'S POINT OF VIEW The airport was a really big place and there were over a thousand people there and I didn't know which exact flight she was leaving with. I went to the ticket counter for London. I asked for the flight number and the attendant told me. Apparently take of was in ten minutes, passengers were already boarding the plane. I rushed to their section of the airport which took me another two minutes because of the crowd. I caught up with her just as she was about to board the plane."Athena!" I called out amidst the crowd waving at her.She turned around unsure of who was calling her, she waited a few seconds and turned back to go in"Athena wait!" I yelled again before making it out of the crowd. I could see her eyes widen with shock as I ran towards her breathing heavily like a little boy." What... what are you doing here, Sebastian?" She asked with a confused frown on her face."Were you really going to leave like that?" I asked going close to her."I...I don't u

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
