Athena’s POV The night seemed long because I couldn't sleep; the thought of the lady lying in the clinic clouded my thoughts throughout the night, and I pondered who she was and why someone could be so cruel to her; I also questioned why I was so concerned about her when she was a complete stranger. It doesn't make sense, but I want to be there for her and protect her. I sighed as Evan stirred in his sleep and placed his tiny hands around my waist. I carefully smoothed his hair and stood up from my bed and headed down the stairs. I went to the kitchen and got a cold drink, gulping it down quickly and tossing the can into the trash can. I grumbled and walked out of the kitchen, only to see Alpha Daniel standing on the other side of the door. "Do you have trouble sleeping?" he inquired, and I grinned in response. "I guess I'm okay," I shrugged, and he gave me a questioning look. "She'll be fine, you don't have to worry too much," he replied, and I smiled faintly. "She makes
Andrea's POV The prospect of death terrified me more than anything else. I had no idea I was such an idiot to believe Alpha Gideon was stupid; Lucas attempted to show me the indications, but I was blind and obstinate. I sat on the chilly tiles of the cell I was in, and my body shivered from the cold; I hadn't clothed properly before being hauled to this dirty area. I knew that if Alpha Gideon doesn't kill me, the cold will, and I don't want to die. I couldn't stand it any longer because my bones were weak, and my teeth were clattering and almost sinking into my dry lips. I crept over to the iron bars and said, "Guards! Guards!"I yelled at the top of my lungs, and after what seemed like ages, the guard appeared. His brow furrowed, fury coursed through me, and I fisted my palm angrily, knowing this wasn't the moment to be upset about how I was perceived. I sighed and looked up at him, "I'm cold, I need a good pair of clothes," I stated, waiting for him to rush along and provide m
Athena's POV I was busy wandering around my room pondering what to do when the spy Alpha Daniel had placed in Alpha Gideon's pack to monitor what Andrea and Lucas were both doing was slain, leaving Alpha Daniel in a very bad state since the morning. If they could have found and killed them, it means they know everything and are preparing for war as well; the battle might start at any time and one party will be forever tarnished. I'm terrified, genuinely scared because nothing is definite; I can't say things will be fine, or we'll all be fine because who knows what Andrea and Lucas have up their sleeves; if they can kill an innocent child like Emily who loved Lucas so much, they can do anything. I sighed and sat down on my bed, knowing that no amount of thinking would result in a solution and that all I needed to do was keep practicing so that I could protect my son and my loved ones. I squeezed my eyes shut and collapsed on the bed, my hands stretched across the mattress. I wa
Andrea’s POV "What are you doing?"Lucas inquired, and I turned to face him. I ignored him and continued to feel the hard sand on my skin. "I'm talking to you, Andrea," he repeated, and I huffed and glanced at him. "You just watch and see, don't bother me," I said, returning to my work. I had to leave since I couldn't remain any longer, and I decided to try a trick to see if it would work. I spotted the guard who gave me clothes the last time he was on duty, and there is no one else who can help me better than him. I smiled and went about my business. My arms were now covered in bruises, which, I hope, will heal and not scar; I don't want anything on my flesh. I sighed and brushed the sand from my body, content with what I'd accomplished. "Help! Help! Please get me out of here!"I yelled at the top of my lungs, but no one responded. I heard Lucas snort and furrowed my brows at him. "What on earth do you think you're doing?"I yelled at him in hushed tones. "I should ask you
Athena's POVI sat in my room, thinking about what Evelyn had said to me, unsure whether I should go forward and help her people. I haven't talked to Alpha Daniel about it. and I am not certain how appropriate it is to have this conversation with him.I gave up pondering and decided to get some work done for the day, so I went to my bathroom and took a bath. I sighed and hastily dressed up before deciding to head downstairs for breakfast. I headed down the steps to the dining hall, where I found Alpha Daniel eating breakfast. I sat alongside him, and he grinned when he saw me. "Good morning, Alpha Daniel," I said. "Good morning Athena, how was your night?" he asked. "It was fine" I replied and at the same time, the chef came in with my breakfast, I slightly bowed my head with a smile as a sign of appreciation before I started digging into my food. I sigh when I notice I can't eat much, and I was busy playing with the food. I groaned again as I heard Alpha Daniel clear his throat.
Athena's POV Alpha Daniel and I headed to his room; I sighed as we entered, and he sat on the side of the bed; I gently crept over to him and sat with him on the bed. "So, what's bothering you?"I cleared my throat when he asked. "Evelyn told me something, and I've been thinking about it and decided to tell you as well," I replied, and Alpha Daniel arched his brow. "Evelyn?" he inquired. "Yes, Evelyn. The woman in the pack's clinic," I responded, and he nodded gently, encouraging me to go on. "She is the daughter of late pack alpha Dawson, the pack alpha Gideon now rules," I explained, and alpha Daniel's pupils dilated. "Isn't she dead? She's been dead for two years now" Alpha Daniel replied and I slightly nodded. "Well, that's what alpha Gideon made everyone believe while he locked her up torturing her to reveal where their army's crest is" I replied "Isn't Alpha Gideon her mate, how can he be so cruel to her?" alpha Daniel said. "She found out they were never mates, h
Andrew's POV The downpour was stronger than I had anticipated, I grumbled as I looked out the window at the cloud, the world was chilly, shivers ran down my spine, and I felt bad about everything. I sighed and walked away from the window when I heard a knock on my door; before I could allow entry, the door was shoved open and Edna entered. The rain saturated her body, revealing the linen she wore inside. My gaze darted around her, and I quickly averted them. "I'm sorry, I was on the pack's farm when the rain started," she said, and I rolled my eyes. "You should have head to your room, you know?" I said, and she gulped down. She suddenly felt reluctant and shrugged. "I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking," she said, and my eyes fell on the floor, the water was dripping from her body and had wetted the floor, I groaned and moved closer to her. "Come here!" I said, holding her hand. I took her deeper inside my room and grabbed a shirt, I threw it at her and she almost fell while trying
Andrea’s POV I look at the tiny hole that the sun penetrated, and it felt strange; it was the most beautiful sight I had ever laid my eyes on, and I didn't think a day would come when I will miss the sun so much, and I couldn't lie, I felt exhausted and drained. I don't think I can last another few days in this cramped cell; I miss my independence so much and wish I could be free again, wearing my nice clothing and having people bend before me. I sniffed, trying to keep the tears from escaping my eyes because I am not a loser and I know I will be out of here soon, either now or later, but I won't stay here forever, I can't let that happen, and I also don't want to die in the hands of alpha Gideon. I saw the guards were unusually active today, so I assumed something was going on. I turned my head to look at Lucas, who had his eyes closed, and I wasn't sure if he was asleep or not. My throat was parched, and I really needed water; it was as if the guards had forgotten that the
