Gideon’s POV I had left the party to have a short discussion about the pack and the party in general, only to return and Andrea said the thing that terrified me; I tried to push myself to speak, but words failed me, and I collapsed on the floor. Now I'm lying on a hospital bed in the dark, unable to define what's wrong with me; my body seems weaker than usual, I can't move a finger, and I've never felt so weak in my life. It felt like I was dead, and it was difficult to open my eyes; I wanted to scream and call for help so badly, but it seemed impossible; I saw my dreams and everything I had fought so hard for falling before me. My heart was aching tremendously, and I wasn't sure what to do. I heard the door open and thought it was the doctor who was here to help me, I needed to open my eyes so badly and I wanted to stand up from there, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Andrea, I finally realized I made the worst mistake by letting her live in the prison, I should have killed
Andrea’s POV My excitement knew no bounds as I watched Alpha Gideon lay helplessly on the ground; my plans were already in motion, and all I needed was to gain the people's trust and have complete control over the army, crest, or no crest. Since Evelyn went missing with the crest, she must have perished, and the crest is now useless because no one possesses it. I was startled out of my trance when I heard a tap on the door. I wrinkled my brows and walked to the door, expecting to meet Lucas, but instead, it was one of the maids. "I apologize for intruding; I was asked to inform you that the alpha has gained consciousness,” the maid said, and my eyes widened in shock. “Are you sure of what you are saying?” I asked and she nodded. “Yes, I am sure” she replied and I exhaled deeply. “Okay, you can leave now,” I said, and she bowed one last time before walking away. I began pacing around my room, irritated; I knew I wasn't supposed to be terrified because the woman promised
Andrea’s POV The elders entered the room, their gaze darting around us. I glanced away instantly, unsure of what to answer, My pulse began to race, praying they wouldn't want an urgent pregnancy test, I realized they were waiting for my response and I cleared my throat, I'm not a wimp, and I wasn't going to show them I'm terrified. "I am pregnant with Alpha Gideon's child, he was going to announce it after the wedding," I replied, and I saw hope in their eyes. "Luna Evelyn couldn't conceive before we lost her, which broke our hearts, and now our future Luna is pregnant?" one of the elders said, tilting his head to look at the other one, who only shrugged. “She is not yet the Luna which makes the child an illegitimate child. Alpha Gideon is lying helplessly in the clinic, and we are not sure what is wrong with him. This is a critical matter that needs deliberation” the second elder said, and I was quiet. I know this is the lottery I needed to win these people over, with the fake
Athena’s POV I was astounded by the amount of blood Evelyn was vomiting; for someone who is emaciated and hasn't had any proper nourishment for days, she had a lot of blood to cough up. I felt pain in my hand and raised my shirt; I saw the crest she had transferred to me blazing and tears streamed down my face; I felt my lungs closing in on me and I could barely breathe. I gasped for more air before collapsing on the floor. "Athena!"Alpha Daniel called and stepped closer to me; he held me closer to him, and I could hardly talk, "What's wrong with you? doctor! Nurse!"He yelled. “My hand is burning…. I can hardly breathe!” I struggled to say and one of the nurses rushed over to meet me, They tried to help me up, and I suddenly screamed. I felt my soul detaching from my body and fear gripped me. I wasn't prepared to die, and I didn't want to die. I'd do anything to stay alive. The thought of Evan and Alpha Daniel overpowered me; what would I do if I never saw them again? My bo
Andrea’s POV I inhaled slowly and looked at myself in the large mirror in my room; the elders had summoned me for a meeting about the pregnancy; I hoped the witch did an excellent job and I wouldn't have to explain myself. Before leaving my room, I gave myself a pep talk. When I passed Lucas on my walk, he quickly moved over to me, clutching my hand. His eyes darted around, and when he was sure no one was watching us, he cleared his throat and looked at me. "What exactly is going on? I've heard rumors about you being pregnant, but I don't think now is the time to get pregnant."Lucas remarked, and I took a big breath. “Trust me, Lucas, everything is under control, I have a meeting with the council elders and I have to go now,” I said, and he gave me a skeptical look, he finally sighed and let my hand go. I went away from him and towards the courthouse, breathed deeply as I approached the courtroom, I squeezed my eyes shut and noticed my hands were slightly quivering, and event
Athena’s POV I swallowed the lump in my throat and looked down at the black dress I was wearing; my heart still ached from Evelyn's death; I knew I hadn't known her for that long, but her death saddened me as if I had known her for years. I murmured “Come in” as I heard a knock on the door. The door was pushed open, and Miriam walked inside. Her gaze flew around my body as she exhaled, her brows raised with concern. "Are you okay?" she said, and I smiled sadly; she was also dressed in black in memory of Evelyn. "No, I'm fine. Where has Evan gone?"I inquired. “He is sleeping. Alpha Daniel called for you, it’s time to lay the lady to rest” Miriam said and I nodded. “Thank you, Miriam, let him know I will be joining him soon” I replied, and she nodded before walking away. I looked in the mirror one more time, inhaled deeply, and stepped out of the room with my small purse. I stepped down the stairs and noticed Alpha Daniel and Beta Carl having a discussion; they were both dr
Gideon’s POV I lay on my bed like a dead man because I couldn't do anything for myself, There was hardly any difference from when I was in a coma and I don't know why Andrea was taking so long to give me the antidote, I know she wants to torture me and I don't know how long I can put up with this torture, I want to be back on my feet and finally have control over things around me. I heard the doorknob click and the door was pushed open, Two elders from the pack council entered, and their gaze landed on me, they seemed troubled as they approached me. They sat on the stool next to the bed and the first elder, Elder Ryker cleared his throat. “How are you feeling, alpha? We wanted to be certain you are alright” he asked and I swallowed the lump in my throat. “Good” I force myself to say, and they look at each other, nodding their head. “We have something important to discuss with you, We held a meeting the last few days and We are uncertain if the future Luna has discussed it with yo
Andrea’s POV Finally, the day arrived for the wedding ceremony. As I stood before the mirror, my heart raced with anticipation, even though I knew the ceremony wasn’t out of love. Thanks to my maids, I slipped into my wedding dress. As I looked at my reflection, a wide smile spread across my face. The gown hugged my curves in all the right places and cascaded beautifully down to the floor, creating an aura of elegance and grace. My dress was adorned with delicate lace and intricate beadwork, adding a touch of timeless charm. The veil, gently resting on my intricately arranged hair. “You look so beautiful,” one of the maids said, and I smiled at her, I have always looked beautiful in anything, and I am proud of it. I took a moment to soak it all in, appreciating how the dress made me feel. It was finally time to meet the priest, I stepped out of my room and saw Lucas who was dressed in a beautiful two-piece suit, he had a smile on his face and his eyes traveled down my body. “I
