Chapter 78 (Game of Intrigue 2)
Athena’s POV
Ashina 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

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

Pursuing Athena seems more productive than staying idle in this uneasiness.As another full moon approached, there would be no celebration, sparing me from the burdens of paperwork and council meetings. I sat alone in my office, drowning my thoughts in alcohol.Suddenly, Tala reached out to me through the mind link, urging me to see her. Reluctantly, I agreed."Drinking again?" Tala noted as she entered my office."What do you want?""To punch you in the face," she replied with a straight face.I dropped the glass cup on the stool beside the couch and gestured for her to sit beside me."I knew you'd be this way, that's why I came

The night unfolded without a break, our relentless journey leading us to Cone Pack as the morning light embraced the horizon.As we approached the border, the soldiers, vigilant guardians of Cone Pack, intercepted us.

Their leader, unwavering, demanded the purpose of my visit.Rusty to verbal battle with those beneath me, his words ignited a flame of irritation within me.

Ralph's POVIn the bitter aftermath of what transpired, the weight of regret pressed upon me, I was a day too late to shield Athena from the unfolding tragedy. Clutching her tightly, pain and guilt consumed me.Alone in the room, time slipped away unnoticed as I wrestled with remorse. Memories cascaded, vivid recollections of the day I first saw her depart with Tala, the first intimacy we shared in a bed, and the memorable imprint of our expedition to the waterfall.Fueled by a surge of anger, I rose, tenderly adjusting her on the bed. Kissing her forehead and lips, tears streamed down my face, a silent testament to my grief.With the back of my palm, I wiped away the evidence of my sorrow before retrieving my sword.

Turning to Damian, I implored him for a detailed account, leaving no fragment unspoken.“I heard Ulf scream, and I dashed,” Damian began, recounting the chaotic events. I interjected at the mention of Ulf.“Ulf?” Rollin had referenced her to me, yet her presence remained unseen.“Yes, she attempted to protect Athena, but Ashina thrust a sword through her. The wounds run deep,” Damian explained.“Ulf sacrificing herself for Athena?” My voice echoed with disbelief.“You appear taken aback,” Damian remarked.“Indeed, I'm grappling to comprehend all of this,” I replied.“I'm unaware of your history with Ulf, but they shared a profound connection, often inseparable,” Damian clarified.The revelation about Ulf left me incredulous.

I exclaimed, holding my nose."At least have the decency to wash your mouth before you battle words," I complained, and he got pissed off."What are you here for?" Damian asked him."For the women you took away after killing my men," he explained."Let's get this over with, I have something important to do later," I interrupted them."The pregnant lady is my wife, and I can't allow you to be anywhere close to her," I alerted him."This should be fun," he smirked."So when I kill your Alpha, you'll be submissive to me," I gestured to his soldiers."Let's have a battle to the death," I suggested.It's usually done when a werewolf challenges the Alpha, one of them must die, and the victorious one becomes the Alpha.They stepped back, and we were left with him in the middle.
