Chapter 1 (Rejection)

Athena's POV "I, Damian Jasper, the Alpha of Cone pack, reject you, Athena George, as my mate". The words tore through me, a scorching pain gripping my heart. An unspeakable hurt consumed me as he should have declared me as his Luna. Maybe it was a mistake, I thought desperately. Before I could comprehend the unfolding scene, he declared Ashina, my cousin and only friend, as his mate. Tears gushed down my face as I witnessed her acceptance. Was this a twisted nightmare or a cruel reality? "What is happening?" I managed to choke out, desperate for an explanation. "You're a pathetic excuse for a wolf" Damian insulted. Each word cut through the air, exposing my vulnerability to the entire pack. "Why? Why are you doing this?" I barely whispered, my voice barely audible. "You're a disgrace to all werewolves, a disgrace to our kind" Ashina cursed, her hand intertwined with Damian's. "Accept the rejection!" she smirked, her mockery visible. "I... I can't," I stammered, the weight

Chapter 2 (The Escape)

Athena's POV The pain cut deep, and I could hear my mother's anguished screams. But what scared me more wasn't just that my supposed mate wanted me dead. It was the unsettling desire within me, almost welcoming the thought of him ending my mystery. I couldn't muster the strength to plead my innocence. Back in the dungeon, I was left motionless, unable to cry or do anything. Since the final sentence, no one has tortured me. I was just left there, drowning in my misery. I wondered how my heart made it through the night, replaying my situation endlessly in my mind. The next day marked Luna's funeral. As the pack celebrated, my mother reached out to me through the mind link. "We'll get you out of there my Athena" she confidently said. "Mother, perhaps I'm better off dead than alive" I told her, losing all hope. "Don't ever say that! You have been nothing but a blessing to me and your father. You must live and I know we'll be reunited someday, just wait for my signal" she conclud

Chapter 3 (Sismance)

Athena's POVIt's been a few days, and I feel much better. Tala has been incredibly kind and helpful.As a new member of the pack, I'm obligated to meet the Alpha or Lycan. He must be informed of my stay."You're really beautiful" Tala admired as I stood before the mirror getting ready. I smiled at her compliment.Observing myself, I couldn't deny the truth. I possessed a striking beauty with silver hair, captivating gray eyes, and a gracefully appealing physique.Back at Cone pack, the jealousy from other girls was a constant reminder of my unique allure."Do I have to meet him?" I asked Tala, who patiently waited for me as I sluggishly got ready."Why? Because he is a vicious monster who kills without mercy?" she questioned, sensing my fear.In response to my reaction, she laughed. "My dear, you don't have to believe everything you hear. For what it's worth, he is my friend, and he is kind." I was still not convinced. "You have nothing to worry about" she assured me.As we approach

Chapter 4 (A Contract)

Athena's POV"Are you okay?" Tala asked."Yes, I'm fine. I just need a minute" I replied, quickly leaving the room. I couldn't comprehend what had just happened.Was it a real vision? Why did I see Tala? Did that event truly occur? And why am I feeling the pain?These questions circled in my mind until I could eventually calm myself down."Are you okay?" Tala asked as she found me outside."You don't have to accept the gift, if you don't want to. That was silly of me" she apologized."No, it's not that. I love the gift. It's just a migraine" I lied to her.She looked relieved and sat beside me."Can you tell me about yourself, your childhood, I mean?" I asked her.She took a deep breath. "Well that was out of the blue" she smiled."There's nothing much to it. When I was five, Ralph's Uncle Boris invaded our pack and killed my parents" Tala revealed. I almost felt remorse for asking, and making her reveal that, but I wanted to confirm what I saw."Boris tortured me for years, and I do

Chapter 5 (Gaushe)

Athena’s POV I recognize my role as a breeder, yet his harshness baffles me. It's too early for remorse. Optimism fuels my belief that everything will work out. I reassured myself while reclining on my bed. Persistent contemplation, seizing my thoughts. The deed is done, now, I must endeavour to extract the best from the situation. I couldn't sleep early, but at last I did A knock on my door shattered my sleep, and I sluggishly made my way to open it. "Good morning," chimed two servants in unison, their faces beaming with smiles. "Morning." "We're here to attire you for your council meeting," the first lady informed. "I don't quite understand," I managed in a drowsy tone. "You're expected at a meeting this morning. I assumed you were informed," she added, a touch of concern colouring her expression. "Come in," I welcomed them. The second servant promptly entered the bathroom to prepare my bath. "Remind me why I can't dress myself again?" I inquired. "Alpha instructed us to d

Chapter 6 (A Dark Secret)

Ahena’s POVI found myself on the couch, covered in an uncomfortable shame. Did he just turn me down? Was he under the impression that I threw myself at him? His words echoed in my mind. "Get up from my bed and sit on the couch for a while before returning to your room." A peculiar blend of confusion and humiliation settled over the room.He justified his actions by explaining that he didn't want his pack members to be concerned about our relationship. However, he confessed the truth. He wasn't ready to bridge the physical gap between us.The atmosphere was thick with awkwardness, each passing moment stretching like an eternity. I yearned for time to elapse, granting me the freedom to escape this discomfort. Yet, there he lay undisturbed, absorbed in a book. After what felt like an unending wait, he casually spoke. "You can leave." I stood up, making my way to the door, his hushed command following me. "Not a word of this to anyone!" As if I would willingly share the embarrassme

Chapter 7 (Consummate)

Athena's POVI went behind the mansion, shaken and engulfed in sobs. The threat he had issued, promising my death once I gave birth to a wolfless offspring emerged, but it was nothing in comparison to the heartbreak of realizing I possessed no wolf within.Life as it appeared, was full of tribulation, and the goddess seemed to have a particular hate for me. Tala found me, crouching in distress behind a tree.“Come,” she gently urged, extending a helping hand to guide me inside the house and into my room. I sank onto the couch, emotions rushing through me.She sat quietly beside me, allowing me to cry my sorrows without uttering a single word.“I wanted to confide in you, but couldn't find the co

Chapter 8 (Denial)

Ralph’s POV I awoke to find Athena, my breeder, beside me in bed. Startled, I rose to my feet. Taking in the sight of her enticing, naked form against the sheets that bore a few bloodstains.A moment of frozen reflection gripped me as I replayed the events of the previous night. A night where I took alcohol more than intended with friends, leading to an unexpected lovemaking with Athena.Uncertainty clouded my thoughts. While I held the right as her Alpha and the contract, the intimacy wasn't something I had foreseen or desired so soon. Her alluring scent, strengthened by the mating period, had been a constant temptation since her arrival, pulling me in despite my efforts to resist.Attempting to distance myself had proved futile, resulting in a night of unforeseen passion. What added to the complexity was the knowledge that I was her first, a reality I hadn't sought.In search of clarity, I retreated to the bathroom, holdi

Chapter 9 (Dejection 1)

Athena’s POV I woke up with a pounding migraine, forcing myself to remain still in an attempt to calm its intensity.The remnants of a haunting dream lingered, where Damian caught me and my parents. With the threat of impending execution, sharp objects from the crowd thrown at us felt painfully real.Confusion continued as I wrestled with the blurry boundary between dream and reality. Yifa's knock disrupted the lingering nightmare, and as she entered, I shifted my attention toward her."Is everything alright?" I inquired, my voice covered with drowsiness. Her expression reflected puzzlement."Yes, why?""You entered before I could open the door," I noted. Confusion carved her face, prompting me to glance at the door, which swung freely on its hinge."What happened?" I questioned, sitting up."Can't you remember?""Remember what?" I responded, my confusion deepening."You screamed last nigh

Chapter 10 (Dejection 2)

Athena’s POV I didn't like the atmosphere in my room, prompting me to escape outside the main building. The garden outside caught my attention.“Alpha doesn't permit anyone there except himself,” Yifa caught up to me, her voice carrying a note of urgency.“Why?” I inquired with curiosity.“I... I'm not certain,” she stammered, leaving a lingering uncertainty in the air. I nodded, changing my course toward patio chairs in the outdoor lounge. Yifa hesitated before asking. “Can I join you?” I gestured for her to sit, and as we settled into the chairs, silence surrounded us. Eventually, she broke the silence. “Marriage problems?” she asked. I chuckled, attempting to lighten the mood.“I'm not even married. I don't know where to place myself.“As long as you two are intimate, feelings must develop,” she remarked, delving into the co
