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
Athena’s POV “Are you ready?” I suddenly heard Alpha Daniel ask and I tilted my head to look at him, I exhaled deeply and forced a smile. “Yes,” I lied. I wasn’t ready, I didn’t know what to expect, and I was not sure how this was going to turn out to be. However I do hope everything turns out well, and I can finally end the reign of alpha Gideon and the tyranny of Andrea with Lucas. “We should go,” he said and I nodded. I stepped out of the room and I saw Miriam holding Evan, Her brows were arched with worry, and I smiled faintly, moving closer to them. I kissed Evan’s cheek and he giggled. “My little man” I murmured and stepped away from them. “You should be careful!” Miriam said, and I nodded. When we exited the pack building, I noticed some warriors waiting for us, as well as several trunks, one of which contained Evelyn's dead body. We got into the car, and the driver stepped on the gas, launching us out of the pack. I softly placed my head on the car seat, looking
Athena's POV We finally found the hall where the wedding was taking place after several minutes of searching. We stood in front of the massive door and one of our men stepped closer and smashed the door open, immediately quieting the assembly as everyone cocked their heads to stare at us. My eyes met Andrea's right away, and all the hatred and pain I thought I had buried surfaced. I remembered how she tortured me, leaving me in the cell to rot away; she never offered me an ounce of pity, and I wasn't going to show her one when I finally lay my hands on her. The look on her face said it all; I knew she didn't expect to see us because of how she clutched her white wedding gown. I raised my head and noticed Alpha Gideon, who was dressed in a suit but was in a wheelchair; I wrinkled my brows, wondering what had happened to him. Alpha Daniel introduced himself to the crowd and Andrea called him a liar, I smirked and walked forward, attempting to convince her that her end was near, an
Athena's POV I fought to free myself from the hand that was holding me so tightly but couldn't, I yelled at the top of my lungs as I was pulled from the hall, Alpha Daniel didn't notice, or he would have run after me and attempted to save me from whatever had his hands on me. As we went out of the hall, away from the pack hall, the person finally let me down. I turned with rage to stare at the obnoxious being's face, and I saw Lucas staring back at me. My anger understandingly grew. "Athena," he muttered, his gaze scouring my body. “Why did you drag me out of there? Are you okay?!” I yelled at him, I wasn’t here for any formalities with him. “I have missed you so much, I didn’t realize how much I missed you until I saw you again in the hall,” Lucas said, and my gaze traveled all over him, I wanted to be sure if he was alright, or if he had finally lost it. “I don’t care about all that, Lucas, You should save those words for someone who cares enough to see you again. I can s
