ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 34AIDEN.Women And excitement!I rolled my eyes at Ella, who was a complete opposite of Brian in their personality. She was more outspoken than her mate and her role as the Beta female didn’t change who she was, although she could take charge when necessary.I shook my head in disbelief at the manner in which Ella and wade took over the issue like it wasn’t even about me. But I had to admit though, I liked how lively the women made the house whenever they were around. I guess I needed a Luna to make that happen for me too. It was what I needed to complement me.“What are we celebrating?” Trisha asked, wiping her hands with a towel. She was coming out from the basement where the laundry room was.“Baby.” Wade exclaimed and ran to embrace her like a pup who hadn’t seen its mother for a long time. Seconds later, the sound of them kissing filled the room. Wade was so into his mate and couldn’t go a day without seeing her.“Stop it babe.” Trisha said after a wh
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 35AIDEN My body shook with the weight of the laughter. Where did that come from? Well, maybe she was right though. I was ruthless sometimes, but only because it was necessary. And yes I was stubborn too. So her saying it didn’t offend me. I found it funny instead.I closed the distance between us and pulled her by the waist until her body touched mine. I loved the feeling.“Yes, I’m ruthless to everyone but you.”She didn’t try to fight me off as she usually did and it felt like she was enjoying being in my arms. It was as though she was a trying to seduce me.“And why is that?” She asked, looking into my eyes.“Because you mean everything to me. Because my heart beats for you. Because you are my world, my very essence. I have a lot of reasons, should I go on?”She looked away but I saw the little smile she was trying to fight off.“You do realize that you’re giving me too much power don’t you? If I am your world, I can also be the one to tear it apart.”
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 36AIDENWe remained in the dining room after lunch to discuss the ball as planned because Damian’s office wouldn’t accommodate all of us. So immediately we cleared the table, we went straight into the meeting.I didn’t mind wherever the meeting was held as long as Athena was there. I stared at her now, hoping I would be able to focus on the matter at hand. But she looked really lovely and she distracted me.I wanted to have my fill before I had to make my rounds around the territory. We had decided that the males would take care of security and make sure the pack grounds was safe enough since a lot of werewolves would be at the event. We decided to meet later after this to discuss more about it. We needed to pair up and divide ourselves into groups. We would take turns in guarding the place.Meanwhile, the women would be in charge of preparing the pack house, decorating the place, welcoming guests and generally manage the event. This was a very critical r
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 37ATHENA I was trying hard to act like I didn’t notice that Aiden was staring at me. His eyes didn’t leave me for a second and even as I found it an outing, my body seemed to like the attention. My feet curled up under the table and the hairs on my skin seemed to rise a bit. What was he doing to me?I breathed in relief when I saw him stand up from the dinning and head outside. The men needed to meet and discuss how they were going to handle the security of the place during the event“Thank goodness he’s gone.” I muttered under my breath. Now I could finally focus on what we were discussing here, it seemed my mate was slowly becoming the centre of my world and it was getting harder to concentrate.“Do you have a favorite color Luna?” Trish asked me, her question drawing me back to the present. We had already started making plans for the ball and we needed to decide the color of the decorations we would use and the patterns as well. We had decided to use
ALPHA'S REBORN MATECHAPTER 38ATHENA The days that followed were quite busy for everyone. We spend the day preparing for the ball and arranging the pack house so it would look better.Brenda and Rita went to the city quite often now to buy the materials needed or to pick up the once they had already ordered. The males were not left out of the arrangements. Training sessions were now longer than usual because they had to beef up security at the ball. Damian, Beta Noah and gamma Theo trained the warriors more than they used to, and they had some help from gamma wade, Aiden’s gamma.Yes, Aiden was there too. He’s stop by frequently to check on the progress and he’d engage the warriors in mock combat too. It helped them learn new combat skills.I was quite busy myself. Of course I wasn’t sitting around. I would join Brenda and Rita in the shopping every now and then. I had a good eye for color and combination, so they had to let me tag along.I wasn’t really good with food though so I
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 39ATHENA Was she buying it? I couldn’t tell. Her facial expression was pretty hard to read. But she seemed to have relaxed a bit and I felt less like a stalker than I first did when I called to her.“Do you live around here?” I asked. I knew the answer would be in the negative but I had to ask anyway. I wanted to know what she was doing here and who the make next to her was. I had to do it casually so it wouldn’t look like I was trying to interrogate them or something. The male with her was clearly a human, very different from her. A she-wolf, and an alpha’s daughter like me.“No I don’t live here. This is actually my boyfriends’ hometown. We’re visiting his family here” she replied, excitement visible in the tone of her voice. She looked up at him and a smile formed in her lips a second later. He smiled at her too. They looked this happy together.I forced myself to smile through the hurt I felt seeing them so intimate and crazy about each other. I felt
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 40BRENDA It was true, everything I’ve heard from my mate. He had said that alpha Aiden had once mentioned that Athena was behaving strange, like she was not herself, and I could confirm it now, there was some truth to it.Athena hadn’t completely changed, there was still a part of the old Athena in there, but a lot had changed about her. For one, she was much more strong willed, assertive, cautious and determined than before, Which was a good thing but still it was odd. I usually found myself wondering what the reason for the changes could be. I mean, the same Athena who was pampered and treated like a princess by her father and brother, who never lifted a finger for any reason requested to be trained and went through with it.I was shocked when she came to me and told me she wanted to learn how to fight and defend herself. Before now, she always told me that she didn’t need to learn things like that because her father, the ex Alpha and her brother, the
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 41DAMIANToday was just like every other day. I had already planned out what I would do, sort of my routine though, but today, I wanted to accomplish more.So first, I decided I would do my job in the office, go through all the files I hadn’t yet worked on, check contracts that was pending, look for new contracts and try to renew existing ones. The probability of renewing them was high, but there was much to discuss first. The most important thing right now was to build more alliances and with the event coming I needed to seek more cooperation with other packs For a small, growing pack like mine, I really needed to build more alliances. It was very important.I had hardly sat down to begin my work when I heard a knock on the door. I turned my focus to the entrance and watched the door open to reveal Aiden.“Why am I not surprised to see you?” I said, reverting my gaze to my laptop. Aiden had become a regular visitor now and if you didn’t know him, you wo
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
