Return of the rejected white she luna CHAPTER 8
ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEWA week had already passed, and my work at the mansion was still progressing, and for the past one week Sebastian and constantly showed up to supervise how the work was going. He personally came every single day, he probably didn't trust my expertise. I refrained from querying him about the money he had sent. These people were not going to get a reaction from me, meanwhile Sienna made it a point of duty to rub her engagement to Sebastian in my face. He had assigned her to other duties like food and drinks for the expected guests. This infuriated Sienna so much that she made it a point of duty to frustrate her team's efforts. Everyday she came with a new request, of it she didn't want the blood diamonds changed, she would request for more diamonds on an already finished piece. We went around in circles for days but I kept my cool.The cutting point was when my secretary and I got to the Greenhouse and found all the jewelries ripped. Her finished pieces had been

ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW "How dare he?! Who in the world does he even think he is?!" I fumed as I barged into my room. "The effrontery Sebastian Stone!" I bellowed.He had always thought he owned me, like the mere breath I breathe was his to control. How dare he think that it was okay to hurt me after years of giving myself to him, and then wake up one day and remind me of it all. "How dare he?!"I paced up and down my room hoping for just enough breath to curse the existence of the man who ruined my life. A man who took my ability to live and tossed it into trash. Now he felt sorry, Sebastian Stone was sorry for hurting me? What a joke. Where were his ice cold shoulders now? And what did they hope to achieve by trying to make a fool of me? I had had enough of the Stone family, if this contract wasn't damn binding, I would have let it go already. Now I had to finish the stones and get out of this stupid city.I picked up my phone and it was another message from Sienna saying she had c

SEBASTIAN STONE'S POINT OF VIEW I received a call that night as I walked through the woods to the Mansion. Ever since someone broke into the Greenhouse and destroyed the replicas Athena had been working with, I began to be more conscious. As she walked home that night, I followed her, not because I thought she couldn't handle herself but because I knew something was wrong.Earlier as I did a full walk through of the Mansion grounds, my phone rang and the security at the gate said he had seen two men following Athena after she left the Mansion grounds.I decided to follow her immediately, and he wasn't wrong. If I hadn't gotten there in time, she would have been killed."What business did she have with the Black Moon Pack that made them want to attack her?" I wondered as I bandaged her arm while she slept.She lost alot of blood, and needed to rest. I wasn't going to leave her side until she was string enough.I watched her lashes flutter before they came open. How did I ever manage t

ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEWHe was gone before I woke up, he had made breakfast; toast and beef sauce.I had never known Sebastian to be so kind and it made me wonder what he was hoping to achieve with all this, after all, he was getting married to Sienna.My phone rang, it announced through the room"Call from Valerie...call from Valerie""Hello," I picked it up"Good morning Ma'am ""Good morning Valerie, what is it?" I asked, my body still hurting from the fight."We received a call from a new contractor this morning but she asked to speak to you directly, so I asked her to hold on while I put a call across to you" Valerie explained."Did she say why?" I asked."No Ma'am, she simply asked for you specifically. She said it's urgent and would prefer you handled it specifically" Valerie replied"What a strange request," I thought to myself. "Put her through" It only took a few minutes before the deep female voice sounded through my speaker."Athena Montgomery?" The voice said"Yes, that's

SEBASTIAN'S POINT OF VIEWSienna was the first person to find out I had returned. As soon as I opened the door, there she was, I immediately wondered if she had heard everything Mateo and I had discussed."You didn't sleep at home last night" she whined in a childlike manner. Sienna had always been innocent that way"I...I had an emergency to deal with at the office, stayed late, and couldn't come home" I replied avoiding her gaze."Athena hasn't shown up yet for the jewelry and we are running out of time. I told you we should assign the job to another. We can't rely on her." She said. I understood she was worried about the marriage but after last night, I wasn't even expecting Athena to show up today."She will come, give her a bit more time," I said plainly."Sebastian, we don't need her, there are a lot of other special and uncomplicated designers to work with." She pressed on."We'll talk about this later, I need to clean up," I said and excused myself.Mateo had to solve the silv

ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW I arrived at the Stone Mansion three hours later to meet Sienna, she had been blowing up my phone all morning. It made me wonder if she cared about my presence at the mansion at all."You called," I said walking into the Greenhouse."Where the heck have you been all morning?!" She bellowed at me. I scowled at her for the sake of her audacity."I mean, I've been trying to call you, I was worried sick" Her sudden change of tone caught me off guard. I turned to look behind me and it suddenly made sense, Sebastian walked in."Has any progress been made?" He asked, his voice gruff and stiff. He looked ruffled and out of sorts. Something was bothering him and it was obvious.My gaze remained on him even though his focus had shifted. What could have been bothering the great Sebastian Stone?"We were just about to begin" I replied in an equally stuff tone. It drew his attention. He stared at me for mini second before turning to Sienna. "How was work?" She asked placi

ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW" I don't understand what you are trying to pull Sienna, don't you have like a ceremony to plan or something? The full moon will be out in a fourth moon's time, from my standpoint, you must have a lot to do." I said to her."Why? So you can have Sebastian to yourself? Well, isn't it obvious? He never loved you then, he doesn't care about you now. In a fourth moon's time like you said, our union will be sealed with blood and we will be bound mates for life. Something you never got the chance to achieve " she smirked.I simpered at her naivety, "Tsk tsk tsk, poor Sienna, you're the only one who thinks there's a prize we are both competing for. There is absolutely nothing and I mean absolutely nothing you and I have in common. Not even Sebastian Stone, because I divorced him and you, you're just eating up my leftovers like you always do. Just like my plasma saved your life, my divorce from Sebastian Stone is the only reason you're still in this house. So, go wash

ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW I took off my jacket in front of the mirror and gaped at my arm. The wound was completely gone. Not even a sign that I had ever been hurt. I pulled out the necklace Rojas had given to me, even now in the fasin light of day, it still glowed.As I stared closely at it, that's when I saw it, the bird.The same fleur-de-lis I had seen on the Stone Family ring. What was the connection? Why did the my mother's stone have the same insignia as the Stones Family ring? What was the connection? I wondered.It also made me wonder why the Nightwalker pack were the ones who found me. Aunt Jasmine had only specified that my Mother left me on the bridge. Suddenly, I was wielding a power stone and that meant I could be a target, but what did it have to do with the Stone family though?My screen lit up and the first thing I saw was a message from Rodriguez, the bronze was ready. I texted him my address and asked him to drop it off first thing in the morning.As I stared out at

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

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
