Ralph's POV

In 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. Closing the door gently, the room now a sacred sanctuary for my wife, I stepped into the corridor making my way to the living room.

    Ralph's POV Amid my turmoil, I resolved to subdue my emotions and chart a decisive path forward. Despite my desire to get Athena, I was unwilling to let Ashina slip away. 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. The same girl who had relentlessly sought Athena's downfall, what transpired in that forest

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. It would be a shame for Damian to allow someone else to defend his pack.But I wasn't taking any chances with Athena. I wanted it to be over as soo

    Ralph's POV Determined to unravel the mystery and seek aid for Athena, I initiated an investigation, summoning the gathered sniffers for a crucial task. "These belonged to your former Luna. Sniff them out, and any substantial lead will earn you two kilos of gold," I declared, noting the widening of their eyes. "You would give us two kilos just like that?" one ventured. "Yes. Explore every corner of the house," I authorized, and they nodded in understanding. "I expect answers by sundown," I declared before departing. As they commenced their work, I monitored their progress, occasionally checking on Athena. Noticing Damian, I approached with a pressing question about Ulf. "Is she buried?" I inquired. "No," came his surprising response. "Why not?" "She's in the same condition as Athena," he revealed, prompting a shocked reaction from me. "What do you mean?" I pressed. "Follow me," he directed, leading me down the corridors, where two guards stood sentinel in front of a door.

    Ralph's POVHiding behind a tree, I knew her werewolf senses might betray my location to Ashina. As she checked behind the tree, I managed to sneak away to another, keeping a careful distance. She began walking cautiously but faster.I trailed behind her silently, and she abruptly halted, evidently trying to discern the source of her unease."Come out, you coward!" she screamed, prompting a scoff from me."Coward?" I replied, teasing her before emerging before her. "You!" she exclaimed, charging at me with her sword. Swiftly, I dodged her attack.Engaging in a sword fight, I kept my sword shielded, considering it more a leisurely dance than a true contest. Her skills and strength paled in comparison, with or without wolfsbane in her blood. Using my left hand, I effortlessly defended against her every move. When boredom set in, I delivered a powerful blow under her ribs with the handle of my sword. She flew backwards, colliding with a tree and crumpling to the ground, vomiting blood

I'm your mate!" she pleaded, stubbornness in her eyes."Ashina, I, Damian, the Alpha of the Cone pack, reject you as my mate," he declared, his words hanging heavy in the air.She clutched her chest suddenly, overwhelmed by pain. Even though Damian attempted to appear strong, the struggle was visible as he departed the dungeon.Rejection is a bitter pill, and its taste is most unbearable for the one cast aside. I instructed a soldier to provide her with something to wear before setting out to find Damian.In his secluded garden, I discovered him, chin resting on his elbows. A sigh escaped me, I knew I needed to carry out my duty and check on him."Are you okay?" I inquired, taking a seat beside him."No," he responded, shaking his head in disagreement."You'll be fine," I offered comfort"I've been a fool. I'm not even fit to lead

    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.

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.
