Andrea’s POV I was lost in thought about what Lucas told me a few days ago, about alpha Gideon hiding someone in the abandoned side of the pack building. I don't know what to make of this, and I'm so irritated that Lucas is making me scared. I'm not very interested in Alpha Gideon's history, present, or future. All I care about is gaining control of his pack and utilizing his army. I groaned and exited my room, needing to drink something to calm my racing heart. I headed to the bar and grab a strong wine, clutching it tightly in my fingers as I walked back to my house, when I noticed Gamma Thomas walking away, and he didn’t see me, an idea suddenly popped into my head and I swiftly moved over to meet him. "Gamma Thomas," I yelled, and he turned to face me, his gaze falling on the bottle of wine I was holding. "Andrea," he exhales, and I grinned; I know my very presence disturbs him. "Do you mind sharing this wine with me, I'd like to drink with someone, and please don't say
Athena’s POV It's been four days since Alpha Daniel left the pack; I've been wondering what he's up to, and every time I see Evan, he reminds me of him. I went out of the pack building, practically dazzled by the sun's brightness, and I groaned, shielding my face. I noticed Philips, and he grinned as he approached me; he's been polite to me since the day he followed me to the pack clinic, and I don't mind his company at all. "The sun is shining brightly today," Phillips observed, and I nodded. "Yes, I noticed, it's blinding," I remarked, and he chuckled as we began heading towards the training center; gamma Alfred doesn't play with any of us, and he made sure we trained thoroughly; I don't blame him because we are indirectly preparing for war. I abruptly came to a halt as I noticed a guard approaching us; Philips ultimately came to a halt as well, "What is it?"I inquired as the guard came to a halt in front of us, his hands on his knees panting heavily, and I wondered why he wa
Lucas’s POV I gently returned the keys to Mary without her awareness. I saw there were other keys and decided to steal one so that I could readily visit that place whenever I wanted. It was late at night, and most people had returned to their chambers. I decided to go to the abandoned section of the pack's building to make sure I had seen that woman correctly; who knows, I could have been hallucinating. I was walking down the corridor when I heard footsteps and immediately hid between the walls. I observed Alpha Gideon walking down the direction I would have taken and cautiously followed his footsteps, making sure to stay away from him because I didn't want him to see me stalking him. He finally stopped walking in front of the half-alive lady's door, opened the door with the key in his hand, and went inside the room, I stood outside, and after what seemed like fifteen minutes, he came outside and locked the door before walking away, I watched him walk away, and when I was sure he
Athena’s POV It's been three days since Alpha Daniel returned to the pack with injuries; I've taken it upon myself to care for him, and I'm finding it difficult to concentrate on training. Gamma Alfred offered me some time away to look after Alpha Daniel and I have never been more appreciative; I know I shouldn't care about him after everything he's done to me, but I can't help but worry when he's not in good health. "Evan stop that!"I yelled when Evan attempted to remove the bandage wrapped over his father's arm. Alpha Daniel chuckled, and I sensed love and affection in his eyes for Evan. "You should leave the little man alone," he replied, and I snorted; he had stayed close to Evan for the past three days, and Evan had always slept beside him, leaving me lonely in my chamber. We heard a knock on the door and I whispered come in, the door was pushed open; Miriam entered the room with a new bowl of water, as I had requested. "Thank you," I murmured as I took the bowl of wat
Andrea's POV Moans and grunts came out of my mouth gently as I gripped the bed hard, my gaze fixated on Gamma Thomas as he continued to thrust deep inside of me, his brows arched and sweat matted his hair to his forehead, much like mine. I abruptly pulled him off me, and he lay on the bed next to me, panting fiercely. "Why did you push me off you?" he asks as I mount him and put his erected member into my wet entrance, sitting on top of him. "I want to be at the top, I hate being at the bottom," I muttered and he grasped my breast and I lolled my head back and began moving. gamma Thomas moved to meet me halfway, and we made rhyming sounds as our bodies collided. "Faster! Shit! Oh!"I kept groaning as he moved, hitting my g-spot, and my eyes lolled back; a deep sensation filled me; I know I'll be coming soon, and Gamma Thomas began grunting louder, and his dick grew larger inside of me and I know he will come in no time. I bit my lips to keep myself from screaming, but I couldn'
Lucas's POV It was another sleepless night, and I couldn't figure out why I was bothering myself so much about this lady; I could have pretended like Andrea wanted and gone on with my plans, but I was trying to be cautious because you never know what might happen in the next minute. I got out of bed and walked outside to check on Mary because I'd observed she didn't sleep much at night. Mary smiled at me as she stepped out of the room she shared with four other servants. She thinks I'm into her, but I'm not; she irritates me, but for the sake of what I want, I keep up with her, appearing to be madly in love with her, we walked out of the pack building and walked through the field under the crescent moon. I groaned as I gazed at the sky, wondering how long I would have to fight sleeplessness, and when I would eventually steal the alpha King title from Alpha Daniel and have Athena beside me. I giggled at my ridiculous thinking, which caused Mary to tilt her head and glance at me.
Athena's POV When I entered Alpha Daniel's room, he appeared to have recovered very quickly; he was laying on the bed with a magazine in his hand, flipping through it. He raised his head to look at me, and I smiled before moving farther inside the room. "You seem a lot better than now, one can hardly guess you were involved in an accident," I said, and he giggled, dropping the magazine he was holding. "I recovered quickly thanks to your care," he remarked, and I laughed. "Stop flattering me, I'll go back to my chambers since you're fine by yourself," I muttered as I attempted to walk away from his room, but he halted my steps with his next words "Wait!" He said, and I turned to look at him, arching my brows at him, "where is Evan?" he asked. "With Miriam, he enjoys Miriam's company a lot" I replied and he nodded "Can you stay with me, just for a while? I would love to be in your company, I enjoy your company as much as Evan enjoys Miriam's" Alpha Daniel said, and I chuckl
Daniel's POV I almost yelled when I heard a knock on the door, interrupting my thoughts; I couldn't believe I finally had my hands on Athena after fantasizing about her for so long. I'd been dying to kiss her, and now I finally had her in my arms, kissing her as if my life depended on it. The kiss was passionate, and it felt like a missing piece of me was restored; I wanted to fall to my knees and thank the moon goddess for bringing back Athena to me, but I was upset because the kiss ended too fast. I groaned and got out of bed, adjusting my shorts since my dick was bulging in my pants and I didn't want anyone to notice and embarrass Athena. Athena's cheeks were flushed, and she appeared to want the ground to open up and swallow her; I grinned at how childish she was; she looked like a high school girl caught with her boyfriend; I averted my gaze from her and cleared my throat. "Come in," I replied and the door opened, I saw beta Carl, his gaze trailing on both of us as he wen
Athena’s POV It’s been a month since the death of Andrea and Lucas, and it still felt unreal, this past month has been the happiest I have been in my life. I have never felt so at peace, sleeping with no course to worry about. I looked at my wedding dress, and it was breathtaking, I ran my hand through it and it was a masterpiece, with delicate lace and silk, adorned with shimmering beads and sequins. I smiled as I took it from the hanger and wore it. Slowly slipping into the wedding dress, I felt an indescribable sensation. Every delicate stitch seemed to weave love and happiness into the fabric. As I stood before the mirror, I gasped in awe at the vision it reflected. My eyes shimmered with tears of overwhelming joy as I finally realized my dream of being a bride. I stepped out of the room when I was pleased with the way I looked and met beta Carl outside, he had promised to walk me down the aisle and I have never felt so glad. Beta Carl stretched his hand and I slowly placed m
Athena’s POVI watched as Lucas gulped for air while struggling to stay alive, he died and Andrea screamed and ran over to his dead body. She tried to carry him, but she had no power as she cried profusely. “Lucas! Lucas wake up!” she screamed and the kind part of me felt bad while watching her cry, but I suddenly remembered how she laughed devilishly as they killed Emily, every ounce of pity I felt for her left immediately and I scowled. “Are you ready to give up now or not?” Alpha Daniel asked a land, and Andrea shot him an angry look.“I would rather avenge my brother! Avenge my mother who died pitifully in the wilderness, avenge my father who was killed and reaped his title!” Andrea screamed and she stood up, trying to attack Alpha Daniel. I move closer to her and yank her hair, pulling her down, “don’t you think it’s time for you to give up? It’s time you stop everything you are doing and reflect on yourself?” I said, and she elongated her claws, trying to tear my face like I
Athena’s POV I was about to lunge at Andrea after snarling when I heard a screeching yell that caused me to tilt my head immediately. I discovered it was Donald who produced that sound, and I attempted to control my heavy breathing as I stared at him. Elder Ryker was able to escape Alpha Daniel's strike when I noticed him, and his eyes widened in amazement as he saw his son, his body went pale quickly, and I smirked, it seemed what Donald said was true. He must have assumed his son was dead. "You…you are alive?"Elder Ryker pushed himself to say, and his son frowned at him. “You must have thought I got burnt in that car, I escaped and here I am, it’s nice to see you again Father!” Donald said as I stepped closer to them after he mentioned the crest. “What’s going on here?!” a man who I didn’t recognize asked but looking at his attire he seemed to be the chief commander of their pack. “My father, Elder Ryker is responsible for killing the old alpha, Luna Evelyn’s father, for h
Daniel's POV The night was quiet, and I sighed as I looked up at the sky; I had been outside for a while now, trying to clear my mind of the many things that were racing through it. This week, Beta Carl has been quite active and helpful in attempting to get everything in order. I wandered farther into the garden, admiring the gorgeous flowers and attempting to forget about everything going on around me. I sighed and decided it was time to return inside and meet Athena; I've grown so attached to her that I can only sleep better in her arms. I was headed towards the pack building when I heard a bomb detonate. The ground trembled, and I staggered; I tilted my head to see what was going on; I strained my ear and heard the cry of war approaching. My eyes opened in surprise; I hadn't anticipated being attacked. "There is a war approaching, everyone should get ready for a battle," I yelled to the pack members over the mind link as I dashed toward the pack house. I ran up the stai
Andrea’s POV When I saw the crest in Athena's hand, the blood on my face drained and I turned pale. The same crest that Alpha Gideon and I have worked so hard to obtain is now sitting on Athena's hand. I always assumed the crest was something tangible, not realizing that was not the case. When alpha Daniel and Athena exited the courtroom, I tried to rise but my body felt weak as I reflected on everything I had gone through to reach where I am now. I finally pulled myself up and began walking to my room; I can't let Athena and Alpha Daniel gain control of the army; I've sacrificed so much for this, and I'm not going to let it go easily. I slumped on my bed and I entered my room. * I couldn't sleep all night because I was tossing and turning in my bed, and the only time I tried to sleep, I had a terrifying dream about Athena killing me. At the first roasting crow, I got out of bed and decided to take a bath. I finished bathing and dressed in all black because I was still grie
Daniel’s POV Fear gripped me right away. I couldn't trust anyone, let alone a stranger when Athena spoke to me over the pack's mind link. As a result, I was instantly bothered. "What's the matter with you? You went quiet?" Alpha Andrew inquired, and I sighed. "Athena just spoke to me through the mind link; she said a man approached her and asked to speak to her and me," I replied, and they both narrowed their eyes. "Who is that man?"Alpha Andrew inquired. "She doesn't know him," I said. “I think it’s best if we go over and meet her immediately, we can’t be too sure of anything, you know” Beta Carl stated "He is right, we should go meet her right away," Alpha Andrew stated as we all stood up. We walked out of the house and encountered Athena, who was standing beside her with a man whose face I had never seen before. I was taken aback when he referenced the war and claimed to be Elder Ryker's son. I moved in closer to him. "Do you know the gravity of punishment you will re
Athena’s POV The car stopped in front of the pack building, and we both got out. We went inside, and I noticed Alpha Andrew and Edna, who seemed anxious when they saw us, and they approached us. "How did it go?"Alpha Andrew inquired hurriedly. “Exactly like I had thought, Andrea and an elder were blatantly refusing what I had said, but the rest wanted to comply” Alpha Daniel answered. "That elder must be gaining something from whatever is going on," Alpha Andrew responded. “Of course, it’s obvious but it’s not a problem to me, I am going to put them in their places like I have always done” Alpha Daniel answered. "I believe you, you should rest because you appear tired and Athena too,” Alpha Andrew said, and I nodded at what he said. “Yes, we will do that” Alpha Daniel replied, and we walked away from them. I went back to my room and sighed lying on the bed, I heard a knock on the door before the door was pushed open, Miriam came in with Evan, and my face broke into a smi
Daniel’s POV “The crest?” Elder Ryker asked and I smirked. He must have thought he was smart, but he wasn’t smart enough. Murmurs erupted in the hall as people were busy saying different things, no one had seen the crest for long, and it would be surprising if they saw it. “As I had said, Evelyn talked to us regarding everything that had happened in the pack, she told us Alpha Gideon wasn’t her real mate, he bewitched her to believe he was, just to get the alpha title when he finally succeeded, he killed her father and poisoned her every day after locking her up and lied to the world she was dead, he poisoned her and tortured her just to have his hands on the crest because that was the only way he would have full control over the pack’s army,” I said and the murmurs increased. My gaze was drawn to Andrea and Lucas, who were shivering. They appeared afraid, and I chuckled; I would give anything to see them look that way every day. "How sure are we that you're telling the truth? Sho
Athena’s POV I sighed as I looked out my window. I wasn't mentally prepared for the journey ahead of us; Alpha Daniel had sent a letter to Andrea, alerting her of our presence in the pack. The door swung open, and I turned to see Alpha Daniel enter the room. When he saw me, his face burst into a smile, and I swallowed when I noticed the black shirt he was wearing; Alpha Daniel looks nice in anything, but he always looks hot in this specific shirt. "Are you trying to seduce me?"I inquired, and he chuckled as he moved closer to me, wrapping his hands around my waist. I exhaled, resting on him. “I don’t mind seducing you over and over again if that makes you give me another child” Alpha Daniel replied and I chuckled. “You talk about babies too much, don’t you think?” I raise my brows at him. “I want a baby from you Athena, I want to see every stage of pregnancy in you” he murmured and slowly kissed my ear, I closed my eyes and wrapped my hand around his neck. I suddenly rememb
