ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 17ATHENA Where are my goddamn keys?I turned my room upside down in search of my car keys. I needed to get out of the pack house as soon as possible. Where could I have kept it?I stood for a while and tried to relax because I could never find anything when I was searching in a haste. I tried to recollect where I had left it the last time i drove.Dressing table! I was pretty sure I left it there. I went back and looked around for it. It had fallen into the space between the wall and the table, I quickly picked it up and snuck out of the house, careful not to be seen by anyone.Where was I going? I don’t know either, I just knew I shouldn’t be there.You guessed it. Aiden was coming to visit my territory! I heard my brother talking with him on the phone and from the call, I knew he would be here in no time. So without thinking, I grabbed my key and snuck out before Damian would find me and probably stop me from leaving.I drove my car out of the forest and
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 18AIDEN My heart ached in my chest and it seemed as though color had last the world. Everything looked pale and gray to me. No, I wasn’t sick, well, maybe I was lovesick.I missed Athena so much that my heart could burst. I hadn’t seen her in almost twenty four hours and she wouldn’t pick my calls or reply my messages. What was I supposed to do to get through to her.So I made up my mind to accompany Wade to her territory for the training. Of course I wasn’t going to train the warriors, that was what my Gamma was for. My aim and focus was Athena. I needed to see her.My excitement and hope vanished when I got there only to discover that Athena wasn’t there. She had suddenly gone to the city without informing anyone beforehand. She left a note on the fridge before she took off. I knew she was trying to avoid me, she was running away from me and it hurt me.“Don’t worry, she knows the rules. She’ll be back before dinner.” Damian said on seeing my mood.I re
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 19ATHENAHow dare you disobey my order? I have told you that I want you nowhere near my room!” I yelled at her, not minding that I was still trapped between Aiden’s hands. She had a shocked expression on her face seeing me in an intimate position with Aiden. Perhaps she has been glad at my reaction towards him since my birthday and she hoped it would stay that way, or maybe the fact that I snarled at her in front of Aiden surprised her more.“I put your laundry in your closet.” She managed to reply when she recovered from the shock and then she glanced at Aiden, a smile on her lips.Seriously? I must have been so daft in my previous life to not see through her. It was obvious she had her eyes on him. I closed my eyes and breathed deeply to fight off the urge to throw up, her action disgusted me.“Wasn’t my order clear? Do not enter my room for any reason whatsoever. Someone else has been assigned to your duties.”“But it was just the laundry.”“Exactly. It
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 20AIDEN I arrived at the training facility after doing one more round and inspecting the Blue Moon territory. Athena couldn’t come with me and I didn’t ask her to either because I knew she was tired after her training. It turned out better than expected. She was talented and with more practice, she would be a very strong Luna.She didn’t talk to me during the training though. She said she needed to concentrate and asked that I don’t distract her. Of course that was just another tactic to avoid me but I just had to let her be.While making my rounds, I noticed that the pack was really a small one and I didn’t even realize when I reached the boundary that separated it from mine. I thought of ways to improve this pack and form a stronger alliance with them. There had to be something I could do.Of course marrying Athena was the surest way, but that seemed improbable at the moment.I hastened my steps and entered the training ground. Today, the trainees were g
ALPHA'S REBORN MATECHAPTER 21ATHENA I tossed on my bed and changed my position for the third time in ten minutes. It was clear that sleep wasn’t forth coming and my efforts to fall asleep were futile. After a long day at the training arena, I decided to sleep early, so I went to bed right after dinner, without spending a second more downstairs.Who was I kidding? I was trying to avoid Aiden. He hadn’t taken his eyes off of me since we left the training ground. He even followed us home! Didn’t he have his own pack? Why was he here all the time now?Moreover, his gaze was making me uncomfortable. I want to lie to myself and say that I didn’t like it when he looked at me. But obviously, my body seemed to react on their own and I would feel all warm inside. It took a lot of effort to keep myself from going to him just to calm my rapidly beating heart.And what was that at the training ground? Why did he kiss me like that in front of people. And most importantly, why did I like it.?My h
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 22AIDEN I struggled to keep my eyes open but the feeling Athena was stirring up made it impossible. How could she be so good at it? She was igniting fire whenever her body touched mine, and boy was she touching me.My hand instinctively held her hair as she went down on me, taking my dick in her mouth and sucking on it like a kid would relish his ice cream.A moan escaped my lips and I looked down at her, crouched in front of me, pleasuring me. She looked up at me in that instant and our eyes locked. She smirked, her eyes telling me that she was just getting started. I have never seen her so wild, but being on heat could do that to you.Oh Goddess! This woman was a nymph, luring me into sex heaven. Her mouth was magic and everything she did brought me closer to the edge.After teasing me with her tongue, swiping all parts of my cock,she began bobbing her head up and down, taking me deeper till it reached her throat. I was afraid she would gag as I was pre
CHAPTER 23ATHENA I barely managed to get out of the house without getting caught by you know who. He practically followed me around all day and seeing him was the last thing I wanted to do after last night’s and this morning encounter. “Where are you?” He asked as soon as I answered the phone. He probably just realized that I had left the pack house.“Far from you.” I replied, my voice light and teasing. And I meant it, I needed to be as far away from him as possible. Seeing him brought back memories of what we did and I still couldn’t believe I had done all of that. Technically it wasn’t my doing. I was on heat! But Aiden believes I wanted it. I mean why would he think that?“Where’s exactly? And why would you leave without telling me?”“You’re not the boss of me, and I’m not obligated to tell you my whereabouts.”“Athena. Quit being stubborn and tell me where you are. I’ll come to you rig—-“I didn’t let him finish and hung up on him. There’s no point listening to what he had to
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 24SEBASTIAN I watched the smile on her face as we chatted and drank our coffee. Somehow, being with her made me forget everything else and be lost in a world where only her existed. Was I falling for her?“I have to run home now.” I heard her say, bringing me back to reality. “Before someone sends a search squad.” She completed, more to herself than to me but I read her lips and figured out what she said. I was quite good at that.“It’s fine. I had no idea we had taken so much time. Should I walk you to your car?” I asked, wanting to at least spend a little more time with her.“No, it’s fine. You were supposed to have another meeting about half an hour ago. Are you sure it’s okay to be this late?”“It’s fine, I messaged my secretary that I’d be running late.”“Then I shouldn’t keep you any further.” She said, flashing me a broad smile that reached her eyes. Her beautiful cerulean eyes.“Okay, call me or text me anytime. Hopefully, I’ll see you soon.” I re
CHAPTER 87ATHENA I stared at the number of wolves I saw, their teeming number frightening me. How long did it take for Ursula to build an army like this? So this was her plan after all, to gather wolves that had abandoned their packs or been exiled for an offence and take over other territories."Even with this number, she can't defeat the other wolf packs and the witches.""She can, if she wields the stone of Divinity. She'd be unstoppable. Besides, she has one thing to her advantage, no one will see this coming. You didn't either,you just thought your friend was going to try to kill you again and take your place. You didn't expect this did you?"She was right. No one knew what was looming. They would be taken by surprise and with Ursula's power, they would win this war."What about the witches? They can help out too right? She would definitely go after then to take her revenge for being abandoned. Surely they'll help ur.""Ursula has been possessed by an ancient powerful witch, I'
CHAPTER 86AIDENThe room was lit up with streaks of sunlight seeping through the window pane. The sounds of birds chirping happily seemed to calm me and a look through the window showed clear,blue skies. A really lovely morning.How long had I been asleep for? I had no Idea when I has last had such blissful sleep ever since I became Alpha. There was always one thing or another to do and I ended up having no time for myself.I did always have time for my mate though. I was never too tired to see her beautiful face and make love to her all night.Speaking of which, why wasn't she by my side this morning? The day would have been better if I had woken up next to her."Hey, you're up." A voice spoke from the entrance. She peeked through an opening she made at the door and walked in with a smile as she saw me sitting up."Hey." I replied, stretching out my hand for her to come over."It's morning already. I can't come back to bed.""Just for a few minutes Greta. It's such a beautiful morni
CHAPTER 85ATHENAThe drive back to Night Walker Pack was a silent one. Everyone seemed to be lost in their thoughts. What the clan leader revealed was weighty and none of us seemed to have wrapped our heads around it."So, this makes things pretty complicated. I doubt if Greta even knows she's being used. Ursula or Khalene or whoever she is doesn't really care about her desires. She just wants to have her way and gain control of all beings. We need to talk to Greta and tell her everything." I said, breaking the silence."Are you sure she doesn't know all this? She has harbored these plans in her head for years and is finally going through with it. She has betrayed you already and you still want to save her?""We were really close growing up. What if this is the only chance I'll get to save her too? She's just misguided and focused on the wrong thing. Has she even considered the possibility that you're not her mate when she eventually shifts?""I think she really believes Alpha Aiden
CHAPTER 84ATHENAI remembered it suddenly like I hadn't forgotten. When I had died,my body had been taken by someone and placed on someplace that looked like an altar. Who could have taken me there and why? Greta was looking for me then, it seemed she didn't know who could have taken my body. Was it Ursula?Aiden stared at me,waiting for a response. He must have noticed my reaction."I think I've been there before.""When was that? How did you get there?" My father asked."My body was taken and laid there by someone but I have no idea who had brought me there.""Your body? What do you mean by that?"Oh, that's right. He didn't yet know about my death and coming back to life."I'll explain later father. For now, we need to find our way to the realms. If the witches weren't in support of ursula's plans and locked her up, they might still be looking for her now. They might know how to stop her. We need to get there, and fast.""I can help." Karah said showing up at the door and startlin
CHAPTER 83AIDENMy mind was clouded with so many thoughts. Guilt,pain, anger, frustration, all of these emotions gnawed at my heart and nothing I did calmed me down.Did all of that really happen? Did I accuse my mate whom I loved so dearly of something so terrible? How on earth coukd I have done that?I didn't want to believe it, I couldn't wrap my head around it and I wished it was something I could dismiss as a mere dream. But the pain in her eyes had been real, the way she trembled as she remembered it and talked about it. She barely stopped herself from crying as she talked, the pain was choking her and the guilt for having caused that pain was choking the life out of me.I stood up from my desk and paced the room. Her behaviour towards me from that night began to make sense. If course I would have acted that way if I was In her shoes. She came back only to be faced with the same fate again, with the same man who hurt her,who betrayed her. How could I have done that?The glass I
CHAPTER 82GRETA.I had no idea where I was. The last thing I remember was going to bed. I had left the pack house a few hours ago after that huge mistake I made and now I was staying at a motel with the humans. It was the only place I could hide because I knew they wouldn't come looking for me here. It was against the rules to shift in front of non wolves and with the countless different human smells, it would be difficult to sniff me out. I was safe for now.But how did I get here? When did I leave my bed? And where exactly was i now?"Hello!" I called out into the darkness, but the emptiness only echoed my call back to me.The room was dark and the only streak of light that entered it came from a small window , so small that air barely passed through it."Hello!" I called out again,louder this time."Luna." A voice echoed back. There was something about this voice. It was so raspy and seemed to have been crafted with age, but at the same time, it was intimidating, so much so that i
CHAPTER 81TWENTY-TWO YEARS AGOTHE REALMS.URSULA"Xanthe! Xanthe! Listen to me. You're making a mistake." But he kept walking like he hadn't heard me, pulling me along."Let go of me!" I yelled, wriggling my hands to loosen his grip on my wrist, but he held on tight, my struggles not doing anything to change his mind."You're hurting me xanthe!" I screamed, and whimpered in pain. It was the only thing that could stop him. He could never bear to see me hurt. He let go of my hand slowly and stepped away from me.I held on to my wrist and rubbed on it to soothe the pain and allow the blood to flow through again."The council are meeting because of you,Ursula. What you did was an abomination! How could you try to mess with the balance of things as the gods have made them?""The gods? If that is the way the gods think then I dare say they are a partial bunch!""Don't you dare say those blasphemous words!""I do not blaspheme, surely I have every right to voice out my thoughts. I am tired
CHAPTER 80AIDEN Why didn’t I see it? Why hadn’t I read the signs all this while? I would have been able to do something about it before it got to this point.I should have known when Athena suddenly changed towards Greta. It started a day before her eighteenth birthday. She had been furious, she had yelled at Greta and warned her not to enter her room again, I didn’t understand it then but now I did. Greta never liked her, never truly considered her a friend.“I can’t even imagine what you must be feeling right now.” I said to her, my fingers still wrapped up in hers. “You cared about her once, loved her even. Why did she choose to betray you?”Her eyes darted away from mine. They were glassy and it was obvious she was trying to fight back tears.“I have no idea what has gotten into her. Our friendship should have meant more to her, at least it meant a lot to me.”She still sat on my laps after we ended the phone call with her brother. I caressed the back of her hand, the questions
CHAPTER 79ATHENAIt was true what Trisha said. The rumour has eaten deep into everyone's heart and it was on everyone's lips.How did she manage to spread these stories in so little time? The story had gone beyond the border. The people now knew about Greta.Suddenly, everyone was curious about their Alpha's true mate and the female who separated them. Why would she spread such an absurd story? And how did she Do it? Did she get help from someone else?I doubted it was the warrior's doing. They wouldn't dare to betray their Alpha. So, the only logical explanation was that the rumour did not start at Night Walker pack. It started at Blue Moon pack and spread quickly because I was well known already and the pack was a small one. It would have been easy for that kind of story to circulate and since Night Walker pack was the closest to it, the stories were able to infiltrate it.I sighed and shut my eyes. Tamara had called me that morning too. She had informed me of the rumour when it be
