ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 60ATHENA I watched in awe as she communicated with her mate. The possibility thrilled me, especially the idea of two people becoming one, mind and body. I wanted that with Aiden, but he hadn’t marked me yet so it wasn’t possible.“He’s talking with Alpha Smith who’s passing the border to get to your territory.” She informed me after a minute. “I’ve told Brian to pass your message across.”“He did say he was going to be busy.” I whispered to myself, thinking if my presence would be a bother. “Thanks Ella.” I said “Oh, Alpha Aiden said he would meet with you soon.”I knew he was going to want to rush over. “Tell him to take his time, I’m in no hurry.” I replied.“Okay, I’ll tell him that. He also orders you to eat breakfast.”“On it already.” I said, walking towards the fridge to get something to eat, but Ella got there before me. She opened the fridge and peered inside, checking to see if there was anything I would like.“What do you have in mind,” She as
CHAPTER 61ATHENAThe BallI carefully applied the last touch to my lips, gliding on a beautiful shade of orange-nude lipstick. As I admired the final result in the mirror, a sense of excitement stirred within me. Tonight was the night.A sleeveless, long black dress clung to my figure, gracefully accentuating my curves. The fabric flowed effortlessly, hugging me in all the right places and exuding an air of sophistication. I slipped into a pair of high heels in the same color, their elegant design adding height and a touch of grace to my ensemble.Turning my attention to my makeup, I aimed for a glamorous yet natural look. I wanted to enhance my features without overpowering my inherent beauty. I applied precisely lined eyeliner to emphasize my eyes, and a touch of shimmery eyeshadow to add a hint of mystique. A gentle dusting of blush gave my cheeks a youthful glow, while the vibrant yet soft shade of lipstick on my lips exuded playfulness and allure.With my appearance nearly compl
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 62ATHENA It has been a week after Damian’s union and the event was still fresh in my memory. The party was a success and it felt wonderful to see my brother finally meeting and marrying his mate. I now had a sister-in-law,a new friend.Beta Rita and Gamma Brenda were already part of the family, I practically grew up with them. This was why having another sister excited me. I had so many plans, so many things I wanted all of us to do together. We could hang out and talk till morning. If Damian would allow because he couldn’t bear to be away from Tamara for a minute. And then there was Aiden too. He wanted to be with me for hours, so whatever time we had left in the day, we would hang out and do women stuff.Today was one of those lucky days. Aiden would be very busy so he wouldn’t be coming over soon and since Damian gave his permission, Tamara and I were free. So all the females—beta Rita, gamma Brenda,Tamara and I decided to go to the city.We left the
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 63ATHENA I looked away and continued walking. “I’m sorry I haven’t kept in touch. I’ve just been pretty busy this past week. My brother had his wedding and there was a lot to do.” I used the term wedding instead of union ceremony as we called it so it wouldn’t sound weird. It was practically the same thing though.“Wow, congratulations to him. It must have been quite hectic.”“It was. But it was worth it. We made a few changes to our house too, that was fun, but a little bit strenuous too.”“I can imagine.” He replied.We walked in in silence for a few seconds.“So, is she pregnant?” He asked me, directing his gaze to the PT strip I had in my hand.“I don’t know. She suddenly felt dizzy so I suspected this could be a reason. I guess we’ll find out after she runs some test.” He oronanly didn’t know we were talking about another woman now and not my brothers wife, but I didn’t bother to explain it to him as the hierarchy of the werewolf world didn’t really
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 64ATHENA The drive back home was quite gloomy. No one said a word to each other which was a total contrast from the way the atmosphere was when we got here. Of course, it was because of the unexpected occurrence.After the show down between Beta Noah and Liam, they both decided to talk in peace. I had Sebastian to thank for that, at least he was able to get through to Liam and calm him down. He was the only reason they were able to talk to each other without ripping their faces off. After they reached an understanding, we gave Tamara and Liam some privacy to talk.I had no idea what they talked about. Despite how desperate I was to be in on it, I tuned their voices out and stopped my wolf senses from Picking up their sound. I assumed the others did the same because they both needed the privacy. We could all see the tension between them so no one even had the courage to listen in.I knew this day would come but I didn’t think it would be so soon. Their rel
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 65ATHENA I took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. I knew I had to be careful with my words too. Aiden was angry, I could feel it. “Will you keep being like that, or will you listen to my explanation?” I asked, hoping he’d remember our agreement even in this mood.He didn’t reply immediately and as his silence stretched, so did the tension inside me. Still, o waited. I wouldn’t rush him. But then He turned around, taking his eyes off the phone. “I’ll listen to you.” He said and I let out the breath I didn’t know I was holding. Okay, he would listen to me. This was a good start.“Sebastian and I are just friends, nothing more. I met him about a month ago on one of my trips to the city and we ran into each other again today. Turns out, he’s Liam’s cousin.”I paused and watched for his reaction, but his face showed nothing. So I kept going.“The first time we met, we exchanged numbers and he sometimes sends me messages which I’m sure you’ve read.”“You
ALPHA’S Reborn mateCHAPTER 66ATHENA “I told you Aiden, it’s negative.” I hides behind him. But it was obvious he wasn’t paying any attention to me. His gaze was fixed intently on the pregnancy test strip in his hands. He kept reading the instructions on the strip and the kit repeatedly. I sighed.“Are you sure you did it right? Did you follow all the instructions?” He asked, his eyes filled with hope.He had insisted I take the pregnancy test since he had found it in my bag. He suddenly got the thought that I might be pregnant. We had had sex during the full moon so it wasn’t out of place. I was curious too which was why I did it. A part of me know the result would be negative because, in my past life, I didn’t get pregnant until I did my Luna ceremony. But the other part of me wanted to know if that fate had changed too.“Of course I followed the instructions.” I wanted to say it wasn’t my first time using it, but I held myself back. He didn’t know about our past life together ye
ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 67ATHENA Rita was too overwhelmed to respond. She just stared into her mate’s eyes, obviously considering the possibility of what I was suggesting. She longed for it to be true, I could see it.“Go check it out. It would be a joy for the both of you and for the rest of us if it comes out positive.” I said to her in a mind link.“I’m fine baby. I need to pee.” She replied hastily and hurried off to the bathroom.I tried to focus on my food and pretend like I wasn’t nervous at all, but it didn’t work. My feet talked impatiently on the floor as I waited for her to come back with the result. Aiden placed a hand on my laps, letting me know that I was being too obvious, so I got myself together and dinner continued without anyone suspecting anything.Rita was taking longer than usual, long enough for beta Noah to start getting worried. He stole glances at the direction of the bathroom at intervals and when she didn’t come out, he pushed his chair back and got u
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
