Athena's POV"I should have stayed with my mother," Ulf whispered, stimulating a chuckle from me."Why laugh when our lives are at stake?" Ulf retorted."Relax. If they intended harm, we'd be gone by now.""Well, there are fates worse than death," Ulf mused."You make a valid point," I concurred.Heavy footsteps echoed down the stairs, revealing the leader. A massive, unkempt figure exuding a masculine aura with rough brown hair and deep red eyes."Why are there two of them?" he croaked."We found them together," a soldier responded.Approaching, he roughly inspected my neck for markings, repeating the process with Ulf before stepping back."The pregnant one has a mate, the other is of no use, mateless…," the Alpha began but was interrupted. "I'll claim her as my mate," a soldier interjected.In an instant, the leader unsheathed a short knife, aiming it at the soldier's throat, who collapsed into his pool of blood."No one interrupts me when I'm speaking," he vented.Ulf and I gasped

Athena's POV I felt a tremor of fear as I hesitated to continue eating. Ulf, noticing my unease, gently held my left hand in an attempt to soothe me.“You don't like the food?” the Alpha questioned, his voice hoarse.Fear silenced me initially, but when he repeated the query, I mustered the courage to respond.“No,” I stammered.“Then eat!” he commanded.Despite the lack of enjoyment, I hastily continued stuffing the food into my mouth.“I called you two here to make an announcement,” the Alpha began, and both Ulf and I paused our eating.“White hair, you have an important role to play later on,” he addressed me.“And as for you, the mateless one, you will become my Luna,” he dropped the bombshell.Awe filled my widened eyes as I glanced at Ulf, who shared my astonishment. The room resonated with the audible thud of our accelerated heartbeats."If you're done eating, you may leave,” he commanded. Ulf boldly questioned, surprising everyone. "Do I have a say in this? I mean, you abduc

Ralph's POVWe've been on this journey for days, and there's still no sign of her. Perhaps we've been looking in the wrong direction.A heaviness lingered in my heart, if only I could turn back time, I'd make corrections to ensure she felt comfortable enough to share more with me.My initial impression must have instilled fear, causing her to withhold vital information even after we fell in love, afraid of my reaction.I let out a deep sigh and settled on a tree trunk, elbows on my thighs, head bowed, contemplating the twists of my life."What's troubling you?" Tala's concern echoed in her voice."I feel like I've failed as a husband," I confessed with another heavy sigh, lifting my head to gaze into the abyss."Hmm, true."Tala, never one to sugarcoat, sighed as well and joined me, sitting close."You can't blame yourself for everything, sometimes things just happen," Tala consoled, carefully choosing her words."I'm worried about my pack. We've been away for a while now," I confesse

Athena's POV For days, our attempts to gain access to the Alpha's office proved futile, leaving us confined to our rooms for the most part. Only twice were we permitted to join him for meals.On this particular day, a breath of fresh air came in the form of new clothes. The Alpha summoned us to the dining room for a shared meal."In five days, we'll celebrate the full moon, and that's when I'll take you as my wife," he declared to Ulf, his eyes penetrating."Also, that is the day you will fulfil your duty to me," he added, directing his gaze towards me.My heart sank into my stomach, the weight of his words settling heavily upon me. He had concealed this information, but knowing the truth left me torn between emotions.Despite the impending challenges, I knew I needed strength, so I pushed the tasteless food down my throat. Ulf, perceptive as ever, recognized my silent struggle and mirrored my determination until our plates were empty.“I can see the news got you both excited," he n

Athena's POV "Damian?" I called out, my initial joy transforming into shock, my heart thumping rapidly."Wear these," a soldier handed us oversized clothes, clearly belonging to them."How did you find us?" I inquired of Damian."I've been tracing your trail since you disappeared, but you've always been a step ahead," he replied."Thank you for saving us, but we need to go.""You seem to misunderstand the situation, you're my prisoner," he announced, a smirk playing on his lips."What?" Ulf and I exclaimed in unison."You killed my mother, remember?""I did not!" I retorted vehemently."Okay, look. She may be your prisoner, but it has nothing to do with me, so I'm leaving," Ulf declared."Yes, you don't need her," I pleaded."I can't let her go, she'll tell others where you are," Damian said nonchalantly."Please, Damian...""Bring them along," he instructed his soldiers.Placed in the middle, we walked until reaching their camp, where we began a journey fraught with tension."Why ar

Athena’s POV I stood apprehensively in front of Damian's house, nervously gulping as sweat formed on my forehead. "Are you okay?" Ulf inquired. "Yes. Just some bad memories," I sighed deeply. "Let's get this over with as soon as possible," she advised. I nodded, and Damian ushered us in. I couldn't help but wonder how Ashina would react upon seeing me. "Take them to the guest room," Damian instructed a servant. "We're sharing a room?" Ulf questioned. I rolled my eyes and gestured for us to follow the servant. The guest room was spacious, featuring two beds. Ulf slumped onto one of them, and I couldn't shake the feeling that this visit would stir up more than just memories. The room boasted a wardrobe and two dressing mirrors, with an additional door leading to the bathroom. "Now I see why he needed you for wealth," Ulf insulted. "Come on, it's not bad," I giggled. "This is just a bathroom in Stormwind," she exaggerated. "That's why my husband is the wealthiest Alpha," I de

Athena's POV“You should let me handle Ashina's disrespect,” I pleaded with Ulf upon returning to our room.“I have no doubt she was the murderer and tried to hurt you,” Ulf asserted.“You know, sometimes the suspects are those we least expect.”“It's pretty obvious with this one,” Ulf scoffed.“I have to touch her to scan her memory,” I concluded.“Use any slightest opportunity.”“I will. Let's rest now,” I urged Ulf, who was already lying down in her bed.It was late afternoon, so I settled onto the comfy bed, soon drifting into sleep.Amid a peculiar dream, I found myself bleeding, the blood flowing down my thighs. Alarmed, I screamed.“What is it?!” Ulf jolted from her bed.“Just another nightmare,” I managed to utter, touching my baby bump to ensure I was okay.“Another?” Ulf a

Athena's POV"How did this happen?" Damian inquired after Ulf summoned him to our room."I fell," I simply replied."And your wife's bodyguard couldn't assist her?" Ulf criticized."Oh, you mean Zeeb. He can be nonchalant sometimes.""Remind me why Ashina needs a personal bodyguard like him," I air-quoted it."She is a Luna, and some might be jealous of her, attempting to harm her.""Really?" Ulf rolled her eyes, suggesting boredom."It was her idea, wasn't it?" I asked."What are you two saying? Are you implying, Oh! Come on! She is my mate?" he added."When is the doctor coming? My ankle is on fire," I diverted the topic."I've already called him, he will be here any minute now.""Okay," I replied, and he turned to leave."One more thing," I stopped him."Did you tell Ashina about my telepathic ability?" I asked."Yes, I explained to her how you can uncover the murd

Sting of betrayal Chapter 104 (Finale)
Athena's POVFive years later… As the evening sun cast its golden glow upon us, I found myself drawn once again to Tala's grave, my hand instinctively resting on my swollen belly as I settled onto the grass beside her final resting place."Hey, dear... I'm sorry I haven't visited for a while. A lot has been happening," I began, my voice soft as I spoke to the silent earth beneath me. "You know, as the head of the council of Alphas, it's been hectic, but I enjoy it," I chuckled softly, the weight of my responsibilities tempered by the knowledge that I was carrying new life within me.Bringing out the water bottle I had brought with me, I took a sip before carefully arranging the forest flowers I had gathered on Tala's grave, a small gesture of remembrance and love."You know, I miss you Tala," I continued. “Let me tell you what had been happening, Ulf is still carrying her duty very well. Whiterun is now a full pack... Can you believe that?" I asked with a hint of disbelief in my voi

Athena's POVAs Ostana's urgent plea pierced the air, we wasted no time, gathering provisions and milk for Queen before setting out.With each step, our pace quickened, the rhythmic thud of our boots echoing against the forest floor as we plunged deeper into the darkness. As night fell, we used torches. It was nearly midnight when Ralph, exhaustion etched into his features, finally suggested a moment's bedtime. We collapsed onto the cold earth, our breaths mingling with the night air.With the first faint blush of dawn, we rose in relentless pursuit, we secured rides on passing carriages, trading fleeting moments of rest for precious time gained.Days blurred into one another. In our haste, I couldn't spare a moment to check on little Sarah and her family.Weeks slipped, each day bringing us closer we reached the soot we left the car, luckily we found it there.

The next morning Otsana's thoughtful gesture greeted us with an array of provisions, promising sustenance for the journey ahead."Your assistance is greatly appreciated," Ralph expressed his gratitude."It's always a pleasure," Jacob reciprocated with a warm smile."We'll surely return on our homeward path," I reassured them."Travel safely," Otsana's smile held both goodwill and concern.With renewed resolve, we embarked on our adventure, guided by Otsana's suggestion of a faster route.At nightfall, we nestled within the embrace of the forest. As dawn broke once more, we arrived at a small pack, where we hired a carriage, easing the burden of our journey.Days passed each pack offering glimpses into their world while cautioning us against the dangers that lay ahead.

Athena's POVWe embarked on our journey, yet an unsettling hunch gnawed at me, whispering of impending trouble.Stopping at several camps along the way to inquire about Whiterun, we encountered nothing but confusion and ignorance."I believe we should seek guidance from familiar faces," I suggested to Ralph, my unease growing palpable."Which pack shall we approach first?" Ralph inquired, his gaze locking with mine."Fable pack. I yearn to lay eyes upon Sarah," I declared. Thinking of the little girl.Before we ventured further, Ralph halted me with a solemn confession, redirecting my focus towards him.He recounted the incidents between himself, Tala, and the family. Anger steamed within him at her accusation of calling me a thief, but to his surprise, laughter bubbled forth from my lips."This is no joke," Ralph retorted, his tone grave and resolute."I understand, yet her accusation holds a grain of truth,

Ralph's POVSince our return home, the relentless pull to reclaim the kettle has haunted my thoughts incessantly. Unable to shake its grip, I beckoned Tala to my office, eager for counsel.“I'm contemplating dispatching our finest soldiers to retrieve it,” I confided to her.“Come on, Ralph,” she countered.“What?”“Remember what you said during our quest for Athena in the woods? If not for the pressing matters at hand, you would have relished the moment.”“And?”“And I refuse to let this opportunity slip through your fingers. Embark on this journey with Athena, just the two of you,” she urged.“But what about Fridolf?” I interjected“Everyone stands ready to care for him. He's no longer a newborn, he'll be perfectly fine,” she reassured.“I suppose, but I'm unsure how Athena will take to it,” I mused
Sting of betrayal Chapter 98 (Fridolf, Peace)
Athena's POV A full moon was upon us. Ralph insisted on celebrating our baby's arrival stirring a sense of reluctance within me, nestled beneath the warmth of our shared blankets."Do we truly need to go through with this?" I questioned, my voice muffled by the plush confines of our bed."Yes, my Queen. It's a momentous occasion, one that deserves to be celebrated in grandness," Ralph implored. "Very well, you've persuaded me," I conceded with a soft chuckle, the corners of my lips curling into a gentle smile.With a concerted effort, we roused ourselves from the comforts of our bed, preparing for the festivities that awaited us under the moon's luminous embrace. Gonzolo and Tidwulf joined in our celebration, their presence infusing the atmosphere with an air of jovial friendship. So many werewolves poured in from different packs to celebrate with us. Adorned in matching royal blue attire, Ralph and I radiated regal elegance, our garments adorned with intricate decorations that sp

Each intricate detail breathed new life into the familiar confines, transforming our quarters into a veritable haven.The magnificence of our expansive bed is almost like that of a small room, beckoning us into a realm reminiscent of a storybook fantasy.

Athena’s POV The joy swelling in my heart was indescribable, a radiant warmth that contrasted with Ralph's constant indoor presence, caring for our baby.Even when I managed to coax him outside, his return was swift. I resolved to visit my Uncle before our departure. With the shaman departing at dawn, farewells were exchanged.Choosing to leave our child in Ralph's care, Ulf joined me to go see my uncle. The werewolves we encountered along the way cast peculiar glances my way. Ulf reassured me, claiming it was likely fueled by rumours that I needed to grow accustomed to, a phenomenon potentially exacerbated in Stormwind.Arriving at my Uncle's residence, the state of disarray suggested distress, yet he seemed to be managing admirably. "Uncle," I enfolded him in a prolonged, tight hug, reluctant to release him. Ulf extended her greetings as we settled into the couch in the somewhat chaotic sitting room."To what do I owe this visit? You should have called me," he remarked, and I res
