Athena's POV

As I looked down at the women in front of me, I leaned back in my throne. As I looked at all of their faces, the thought of getting a headache danced on my forehead. With each face, I felt more and more upset.

As Amoux brought more women into the room, a small crease began to form between my eyebrows.

"What is it?" I asked with a mix of anger and irritation in my voice. Seeing all these faces I didn't know made me mad. I hated being in a crowd.

Amoux frowned when I asked him my question, and then he looked at the women, confused, and then back at me.

"Why? Didn't you tell me to bring them?" He asked in a hurry. I could also tell that he was upset by the lines on his face. We were having more trouble than I thought because of this.

All because of that stupid bond between mates.

I took a deep breath to get myself back together. I was about to lose my cool. I didn't realize how hard it would be.

"I told you how I wanted them, the women," I said, glaring angrily at the women.

    Lucian's POVI couldn't wait for the next day to get here. I had never been so restless and angry all night, especially for such a small and useless goddess. I was so angry that to say I was mad would be an understatement.I was really, really mad at her. My cynical mind was already planning something to do to her or to help me get out of the mate bond. On the other hand, whatever was going on in my head didn't make my lycan very happy.He had always wanted a mate, and when we found her, he tried to claim her like other lycans would have, but I'm not like other lycans. I'm the leader of the werewolves.Having a partner would make me weaker, not stronger. My enemies would try to hurt her, and they weren't like most enemies.They had a lot of power and would do anything to hurt me and my kingdom. It had taken me many years of hard work and many sacrifices to get my kingdom to where it was today. I wasn't going to let a she-wolf and a goddess turn into a weakness for me.Either that she-

    Lucian's POV"You could have just turned her down instead of bringing me here for this small matter," she said as if she weren't talking to the King of Lycans. I was already mad at her, and it seemed like she was doing everything she could to make me angry.My patience broke, and I ended up growling at her and shaking the ground where she was standing. This seemed to finally make her remember who I really was and how important what we were talking about was. I saw her take a small step back and heard her heart beat fast for a moment.She finally realized how much trouble she was in. She had very faint signs of fear on her face, and it made me and my lycan very happy to have hit the right note with her. I sat back a little on my throne, but I never took my eyes off of her. I never stopped looking at you.This time I said, "I don't like to repeat myself, Fowol. Do what I said," with more authority. My heavy, deep voice was filled with dominance and power that you could feel in your bone

    Athena's POV"I don't understand why women can't go there. Is there something special there?" I asked him. He had already been to the Midwinter Festival. Except for me, the other three had already been there."Actually, no. In that way, it's very normal, but it's also very grand. Everything about it is very grand: the decorations, the people, the events, and everything else. Lucian seems very serious about it, "While Embry and Jacob caught up to us, Locros told me. They had been out for some runs in the snow."What is very important to Lucian?" When Embry joined us, he asked. Jacob was just a few meters away, putting on his training gear to get ready for battle.I said, "The Mid Winter Festival.""Oh, yes, that's a big deal for them," said Embry. "I wish that you could join us,"I told him with a smirk, "Well, I'm going." His eyes grew very big at once. He opened his mouth to talk, but Jacob said, "Hell, yeah!""But they don't let women in there!" Embry had said."Who says I'm going t

    Athena's POVDuring the trip, my heart was always pounding in my chest, and my wolf was pacing inside of me. Everyone else around me seemed excited to go there, but I stayed quiet and moved around in my seat a lot."Why are you acting like that?" "Are there ants in Jacob's pants?" asked Locros. He asked, and Jacob gave him a look right away, while the others laughed.Jacob grumbled, "I gave her the newest set of clothes.""Still, she looks like she doesn't feel good," Locros said, narrowing his eyes at me. He was the one of us who paid the most attention. I didn't know if it was because of his skills or not, but he was very good at figuring out what people were thinking.He was always smart enough to figure out what was going on, so it was hard to keep things from him. I was curious about whether he knew anything about Lucian and me. I'd be damned if he knew, but the way he was acting told me he didn't know.He would have talked to me about this if I hadn't told him.I told him, "Er..

    Athena's POVWe were looking around when loud drums and horns that could shake the ground let us know that the Lycan King had arrived. People moved out of the way for the King's chariot as it wound its way through the town and the crowd, stopping suddenly just a few yards from the stage.The moment I saw his chariot, my wolf started to growl. Even though we were a long way from the stage, I could still see everything clearly as he got out of the chariot and stood taller than everyone else.He bent down for a moment before getting up on the stage and looking around at the crowd. I had to bend a little bit to fit in with the crowd. It was done by accident. Even though I was at the very back of the crowd and wouldn't have been easy for him to spot, I didn't want to take any chances.After all, he was a lycan, and his senses were better than mine. If I hadn't been careful, he could have found me easily even in the crowd. It was better for me to be careful than to get caught and cause trou

    Athena's POV"What do you want to do here?" Lucian hissed at me in anger. When he said that, I got a chill down my spine. I was as still as a shadow and shocked by everything that was going on."Who is it?" Before I could answer, another Lycan sitting next to Lucian's seat asked. I looked at him for a split second. I knew that he was Lucian's second in charge. He looked at me with narrowed eyes and then looked at me from head to toe.The Lycan who brought me here said, "She's a woman."I had to stop myself from saying "Duh!" at that moment. Instead, I locked my eyes on Lucian's as he looked at me with a strange feeling that I couldn't understand."How the hell did you get here?" asked the second-in-command.This made me sit up. My hands and feet were tied together behind me. The room we were in was a small space right above the bar. It was more or less a storage room, with barrels and barrels of rum and other drinks lining the walls.At the end of the room, there was only one very sma

    Athena's POV"Then why did you come?" He yelled at me and looked me straight in the eyes. It was as if he could see right into my heart.To see you. I told him instead that I wanted to see the festival. It was hard to keep going when I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I was getting weaker because of how intense they were, and my wolf was getting closer and closer to being out of control. The bond between mates was very strong and sometimes too much to handle.I wondered if it was like this or if, because he was a powerful lycan and we were different, it was worse for me. I didn't know, but I was sure that if there weren't so many people around, we would have already started ripping each other's clothes off. I could see the intense desire and lust in his eyes, and he looked a little tense.He seemed to be fighting himself. The stress around us did nothing to help us. Being so close to my wolf was already making me crazy. I wondered if the bond between him and his mate was just as stro

    Athena's POV"You think you were going where?" He growled at me, which gave me the chills. I tried to get as far away from him as possible by pressing my back against the wall, but something in his eyes told me that no matter what I did, even if I tried to hide in another world, he would still find me. He would still find a way to reach me.My wolf was always pacing inside of me, and we both felt like a wave of power washed over us. I knew he was trying to make me feel his power on purpose because he wanted me to give in, but I wasn't going to give in so easily. I was ready to fight with him if that was what it took.My father didn't teach me to give up.I gave him a look that was just as angry as the one he was giving me."You can't make me do what you want!" I got angry with him. At that moment, I wanted to growl at him, but for some reason, I couldn't. This made him raise an eyebrow at me, and then I felt his whole body press against mine until there was nothing but our clothes bet

    Lucian’s POVAs she walked out of the camp and swayed her hips from side to side, my eyes burned on her back. I didn't know if this was just how she walked or if she did it on purpose. Maybe it was that stupid dress, which fit her like a second skin and didn't leave much room for my imagination. Whenever I saw her in that thing, it made my hands itch and my inner lycan stir.I kept an eye on her until she left the camp. As soon as I couldn't see her anymore, I went to the Drakkon camp. It was quiet, and no one could be seen. After a long night of celebrating their victory over the Valley, everyone seemed to be asleep. They didn't know that this was just the beginning.Half of what I had planned seemed to go well here. Now, I had to put the second half of my plan into action. This part was a lot more difficult and had to be done right. We couldn't make a mistake. If we made a mistake, it would only set us back.When I went inside, my lycans were already there.

This couldn't have happened by accident.I looked at the Drakkon King and a few of the people on his council. They were already laughing and joking around when they noticed that one of the horse's eyes moved just a little bit.I was only looking at the horse while the Drakkon king talked about his bravery and how he was better than the Lycan king, which led him to finally ask for a treaty. His speech kept going on and on, and he kept bragging about himself.Everyone in the camp was blinded, but they kept cheering for the Drakkon King as he kept talking."Tonight, we need to have a party to celebrate this victory! We now own the valley." He said it, and everyone in the crowd around me cheered and again praised the Drakkon King.After the King's speech, the war preparations that had been going on for the past day stopped right away.

    "Ruel, please be mine," the king moaned as he tried to kiss me for the tenth time. I'm finding it harder and harder to stay away from you "He sighed. I was eating quickly because I wanted to finish dinner quickly so I could go back to my tent. I was done with that Drakkon king.I told him, "I have a price, and if you don't want to pay it, you can't have me." I crossed my hands on my chest and leaned back. At this point, the Drakkon king was so annoying that I wanted to hit him.He was getting weaker and weaker.He stopped moving for a moment. Before he snapped out of it and looked at me with much more determination, his face took on a strange look.He grabbed my face and growled out of the blue "Ruel, I'll take you. You will soon be mine, "The next thing I knew, his lips were right on mine. I was shocked out of the blue. I growled at him and tried to push him away, but it didn't look like he was going to let me go.As he kissed me more, I looked for a fork and stuck him in the thigh w

    Athena's POVThe next day, I started being more cautious.The seal had been altered because the King now had confirmation that there were fake orders being passed around the camp in an effort to confuse the troops.After stealing one of the new seals in just half a day, I immediately went around issuing additional orders to further destabilize the camp. Now, everyone was utterly perplexed. The troops' plans for patrolling and other activities were currently disorganized, which made them weaker.The looks on their faces were just priceless, and I was enjoying this more than I probably should have. Rednor and I ran into each other several times. Each time, he tried to corner me, but I always found a way to get away.I didn't have much trouble duping the Drakkons. After all, I was a wolf, and my senses were much more acute than theirs. The Drakkons' size was the only advantage they had over me, but as long as I kept my head down and played with the king, that wasn't a problem for me. The

My mind was already planning the time and the movements I would need to make to kill them both in a record-breaking amount of time without alerting the camp, and one of my hands was hovering above the dagger hidden beneath my dress.At this moment, I could hear my heart beating in my chest. I vowed to castrate Lucian if things went south at this point.After all, His Harem could use an additional eunuch."Ruel, what happened? Are you okay?" As she got closer, Kine questioned me. I instantly looked around the tent and discovered that there was absolutely no sign of Lucian. Although I exhaled in relief, the expression on Rednor's face slightly worried me."I'm fine, I'm OK. What happened?" I prompted her."When I heard noises coming from this tent, I was just passing by it. It sounded to me as though someone was putting pressure on you. I immediately sped to

He slammed his body into mine, pinning me with his hips as he grabbed my neck to make me look at him.Why do I notice his scent on you? He gave me a growl. I could see the inferno burning in his glowing, in the dark eyes. My spine tingled, and. His hot breath brushed my lips as his face was mere centimeters from mine.I held his stare regally despite the fact that the force emanating from his body would have made any other wolf whimper and quickly succumb.Identify yourself. I dared to ask him, which infuriated him beyond belief. If I had any doubts that he could approach me any closer after this, he proved me incorrect categorically by reaching closer to me and rubbing his body on mine. At this time, our lips were almost in contact.He

    Athena's POVThe following evening, I had dinner with the king of Drakkon. We were both eating dinner and conversing in his own tent. He had already attempted to kiss me five times by this point. Both he and I were becoming more and more forceful in our attempts to kiss each other at this point.Why wouldn't you permit a kiss from me? He asked me once while displaying a really angry expression. He tried everything, including complimenting me and showering me with presents, but I steadfastly refused to even hint at having feelings for him. Even yet, I maintained my pleasant demeanor the entire time, which made it more difficult for him to treat me harshly."If you made me your wife, I would let you kiss me. Couples who kiss prior to marriage are considered sinners in our tribe, and you know how seriously I regard such traditions, "I pouted and gave him a very innocent expression, which made him even more irrational.He was tensely pacing near me, and I could feel it."Since you're no l

I was not blind to the way his gaze swept over every inch of my body while he did so.My wolf was internally appalled by it. She and I didn't want to do anything with him, but I gave him a beautiful grin anyhow since I wanted to keep my head on my neck for the rest of the day.I said, "Thank you," in a soft voice. "Your wife handed me her most fashionable clothes,"He responded with a flare in his eyes and then said to me, When we return to my kingdom, you'll be given a private chamber with gorgeous gowns and jewelry, He bragged. I wasn't sure how much of what he said was true, but I didn't care because I wasn't going to his palace any time soon.I grinned, "That sounds fantastic." I faked excitement and said, "I cannot wait to see your palace and find out what it's like.""You would adore it, my love. I can assure you that "Before extending his hand and escorting me to where d
