Athena’s POV“You are pregnant?”Andrew inquired, his eyes wide with surprise, and he immediately jumped up, his hands trembling frantically. My pulse raced faster, hoping he wouldn't attack me out of rage. “Yes, I am” I answered while swallowing growing lumps in my throat. “How come you are just telling me about it?”He inquired, his brow furrowed, and he appeared betrayed. Betrayed by me, remorse filled my lungs as I methodically planned my next words. “Well, I was terrified. I'm not sure how you'll react, and I'm not sure whether you want me to abort my pups…" He shut me off.“Pups?” he inquired.“Yes, pups, but I have grown to adore this pack, and I adore you. I decided to tell you because it would hurt more if you found out from someone else,” I murmured quietly, my gaze fixated on my legs since I was too afraid to look up.“You should have told me about it,” Andrew said calmly and sighed, I slowly lifted my head up to look at his face, his face was filled with worry and I swall
Athena's POVThe night was filled with nightmares, I couldn't sleep and was tossing and turning all over the bed, but I wasn't at all comfortable, the tears from the night before had dried on my face. I got out of bed, and my hair was like a bird's nest.I looked in the mirror and saw a shadow of myself, so I sniffed and went to the bathroom to make myself look more presentable than I am right now. Andrew has often knocked on my door, requesting a meeting with me, which I have politely declined; he has lied to me and deceived me, all the while unaware that he has a woman with whom he wishes to spend the rest of his life. I didn't feel this bad when Daniel treated me like crap, but it hurts much more when Andrew abused my confidence. I always knew Daniel didn't want me, so maybe that's why it hurt less, but this? I can't take it anymore; every fiber in my veins screams treachery, and I wash my body severely to express how I feel.My thoughts were drawn to Alice, and a sense of betray
Athena’s POVI had no choice but to talk to him because he appeared frustrated by the way I had been treating him. I groaned and moved closer to my door, opening it. I went in first, and he followed. I sat on my bed while he stood at the door frame, his gaze on me, but mine on everything but him. “I am sorry,” he said, and I sneered, how dare he think a simple “I am sorry” could solve anything, I have been in this pack for almost two months now, and yet he hides something contentious like this from him, he was never true with me, to begin with, and I don't know how I was going to get through this? I didn't know how I was going to forgive him; I expected him to say more than “I'm sorry,” but he didn't say anything else. “Are you going to say a simple sorry and everything will be fine?”I questioned, and he squeezed his eyes tight, and I saw him breathe hard before exhaling. “I am not good with words in situations like this, but I have to be honest with you; I am sorry for not telling
Athena’s POVMy smile matches the sun's, its glorious rays pouring down to the earth as I kneel to select some flowers for my herbs, and I am happy to announce that I have learned a lot that will aid me throughout the years.“Let me help you with that, you shouldn't kneel too much because of the babies,” Maya said, and I chuckled. I had been due for a week and my babies had refused to come out of my belly, but I wasn't in pain because I wanted to hold them tightly to myself for as long as I could before finally letting them come into this world. “I can do it, believe me,” I said with a chuckle. Maya, on the other hand, insisted on holding the bowl in which I was collecting the flowers. “No, I can't stand here and watch you do this; it's my duty, and you're preventing me from doing it,” Maya remarked as I groaned and stepped away from the garden, where I heard her breathe a sigh of relief. She bent down and selected the flowers for me. When she was done, she raised her head up, and
Daniel’s POVThe earthly fragrance flooded my nose as I kneeled on the muddy ground to collect something that may be used as proof to find my mate; the huge forest had housed us for a week already after my last visit to a pack hunting for my mate. I left my pack for several months, believing that Beta Carl could take care of the pack without me. Every attempt to find my mate has been unsuccessful because I haven't been able to get a glimpse of her.My wolf has argued that she is alive somewhere, somewhere that is getting increasingly difficult for me to find.I rose from the floor and returned to where I had camped; I saw the map I had drawn and the number of Packs I had visited throughout the months; I noted I had two more packs to visit before I was finished with the quest; I clutched the paper I was holding fiercely, almost tearing it in two.My faith is fading with each passing day, and I prayed to the moon goddess to allow me to find her in one of the two packs. Damon, my gamma,
Athena’s POVThe maids were busy arranging the hall, and I was flattered by how thrilled everyone was about my children's naming ceremony; everyone in the pack had attempted to get themselves occupied with anything that would help the naming ceremony go smoothly.I gave birth to my son and daughter with a lot of difficulties, but with the grace of the moon goddess, I did so safely, Andrew and Alice had a hard time because of that, and I chuckled when I thought about the hassle we all went through “I thought you'd be sick of watching them all the time by now.”I chuckled as I raised my head to see Alice. I had no idea when she walked into the room. “I can't believe these beautiful children came from me.”I cooed at my baby, and Alice chuckled as she sat on my bed observing the children.“They're lovely,” she replied, and I grinned broadly. Andrew entered the room with a smile on his face, and I returned his smile; he has been really supportive, and I am so pleased I met him; he was th
Athena’s POVThe kids' giggling warmed my heart; Andrew was busy playing with them, and they ran all over the place; I could easily say Andrew is the favorite parent between both of usI sat on the bed, my heart gladdened just by the sight of them, and I can't fathom the happiness they have brought into my life. It seems like only yesterday that I was in the theater room with Alice, trying to push them out of my belly, but now they will be celebrating their one-year-old birthday tomorrow.“Stop it, Evan, you're going to pull a tooth,” I said, and Andrew laughed.“You worry too much about the kids, they're fine, and I'm here with them,” he said, and I groaned; I know how much I worry about them, and I can't blame myself; they're all I've got, and if anything happens to them, I don't believe I'll ever forgive myself. “Yeah, I know,” I answered with a smile as I heard a knock on the door and Andrew growled a come in, the door opened, and beta Royce entered my room.“Your immediate atten
Andrew’s POV“Yes, I believe we should build a stronger wall, and the project should begin as soon as possible,” I replied as I examined the pack's wall. It has deteriorated over time. “I heard something troubling alpha,” my beta stated, and I raised an eyebrow at him.“What have you heard that troubles you?”I inquired. “Your step-brother, he has been looking for his mate for the past two years, he returned to his pack over a war that occurred between his pack and another pack, I heard the war recently ended and he was victorious. He's getting set to visit our pack, and you know what I mean, lady athe...”I growled at him, cutting his sentences.“I don't care whether he comes here or not; Athena is mine, and he must deal with it. I'm sure that Athena won't want to go back to him,” I remarked smugly, knowing that my stepbrother Daniel always got what I wanted, always having what I wanted most, and that left me devastated and angry at him and the rest of the world. It feels good to se
