Chapter 74 (Mysterious Ailment)
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

Athena's POVIn the dense woods, my breath struggled as I reached the scene. Seeking support, I leaned against a sturdy tree, the cool bark grounding me.Ulf's wolf had subdued hers, the air filled with the distressed whimper of the captive. Summoning my voice, I addressed Ulf."She won't run anymore."Ulf shifted to her human form, the girl shifted as well but remained curled on the ground."Thanks, Ulf. I would've collapsed before reaching her," I acknowledged, and Ulf reciprocated with a high five, both of us catching our breath."Now, tell us everything," I demanded from the trembling girl."I know nothing," she mumbled, but time was a luxury we couldn't afford.I assisted her to sit up, her back against a tree, while I squatted in front of her, urgency driving my actions."Do you recognize me?" I inquired, but she only shook her head."I don't need many words, I'll get what I require," I declared, reaching fo

After a quick shower, we gathered in the dining room for dinner.Ashina was conspicuously absent, and Rollin, the once fearful servant, served Damian's meal.After dinner, I felt a mischievous motivation to tease Ashina. Deciding to go alone, I left Ulf behind and knocked on her door, entering before she could respond.The scene I walked into, with Ashina and Zeeb, her bodyguard, raised eyebrows. She sat in front of her dressing mirror, clad only in a towel, while he stood behind her, hands resting on her shoulders.Despite the questionable position, I opted to play ignorant and engage her in conversation."I didn't allow you in," she retorted, eyeing me through her mirror."I didn't realize you needed a bodyguard in your room this late to keep you safe,"

It's past noon already," Ulf complained."Hmm," I murmured, my determination unwavering."What do you still need to check? You have all the evidence," Uld questioned."Not yet. Ashina's army is a threat. Any wrong move, and they'll attack Cone Pack. I won't let that happen," I explained, my concern evident."So?""I want

Athena’s POVAshina wouldn't yield easily, and I understood that. My baby had already gone through enough with me, I shouldn't risk consuming alcohol just to gain an advantage."After snatching Damian from me, I thought it was because you love him," I scoffed."What?"“Why can't you drink with him? Does he irritate you, or are you just being a chicken hiding under a pregnant woman?" I pushed her."How can you say that?" Damian asked."Well, clearly, she doesn't love you. She only wanted to be Luna," I declared with a serious face."I'm under no obligation to prove anything to you," she fired back."Of course. I know everything, so there's no need for that," I said, taking a sip of herbal tea."Fine, I'll drink a few cups with you," she said to Damian, and I smiled.Ulf continued her drinking battle with Zeeb, the bodyguard, while Ashina engaged in the competition with Damian, her eyes fixed on me

And that reject of the goddess called Ashina! What nonsense!” Ulf unleashed a barrage of curses.“Ulf, now's not the time for curses. Let's focus on finding a solution,” I urged.“What solution? The only sensible option is to return home and spare ourselves further distress over Damian,” Ulf declared adamantly.“You d

I queried, raising an eyebrow as she playfully draped her shoulders, eliciting a collective chuckle.Damian took charge, instructing Gamma to ready the soldiers for a calculated attack the following night."What about Ashina?" Ulf inquired, her gaze probing."I must deliver a verdict on her and Zeeb, a public reckoning to serve as a warning to others," Damian responded with conviction."It won't be simple, especially considering she's your mate," I cautioned.Ulf, unrelenting, fired back, "It was no trouble when he sought your demise.""Ulf," I scolded."Whatever."A rare mome
