Athena’s POV We returned to the pack with heavy hearts, and even though Alpha Daniel assured me that everything was okay, I couldn't help but feel angry with myself for suggesting that notion. What on earth was I thinking? I return to my room and close the door. I rested my back on the door and felt pain all throughout my body, especially in my legs. Andrea's burns started aching again, and I'm not certain why; I haven't felt pain in certain parts of my body in a long time; perhaps it was because I saw Andrea again, and my body reacted in that way. I sighed and stepped back from the door, opting to take a relaxing bath before turning in for the night. I entered the bathroom and stood naked, I let the shower pour on me while I closed my eyes, the image of the tortures I went through invaded me and I saw Andrea smirk as she let the guards do whatever they wanted to me. I instantly opened my eyes and sighed heavily as I stepped out of the shower; seeing Andrea again had proven tha
Andrea’s POV I felt restless and unsure of what to do. I haven't been able to eat anything for the past three days. Perhaps elder Ryker was correct; I should have kept quiet and avoided confronting him. He may now suspect I have ulterior motives and attempt to delve into my background. I sighed deeply, knowing that the only way to relieve my stress was to pay a visit to Alpha Gideon and tell him how pitiful he was. I wrapped myself in a robe and exited the room. I entered Alpha Gideon's chamber, pushed the door open, and saw him lying on his bed with his eyes asleep. He opened his eyes when he noticed someone walking into his room, I smirked and approached him. "All right, all right. I assumed you were asleep, but it appears that your misery was keeping you awake. I pity you, I must say," I remarked tauntingly, and it helped with my nerves for some reason. I realized I enjoy being at the top, having power over others, and effortlessly manipulating them to do my bidding. Alph
Andrea's POV "Wh…what did you just say?"I asked and he smirked. I don't know what his name is, and I suddenly felt stupid for admitting I had ulterior motives. "Are you suddenly scared of me, almighty Andrea? You wanted the truth and I offered it to you" he said, and I could hear my heart beating loudly against my rib cage. "I don't believe you, "I said affirmatively and he scoffed. "You can choose to believe whatever you want Andrea," he said, and he started walking away "At least tell me your name!"I screamed after him. "You had the opportunity and tossed it away Andrea, I see no reason for you to know my name anymore"He replied, and I was left to watch him helplessly walk away from me. All the grief I thought I had buried resurfaced, and I was left wondering what the father and son genuinely desired if what he stated was true. I took a big breath and returned to my room. I fell on the bed and locked the door as soon as I entered my room. I squeezed my eyes shut, and my
Athena's POVI stood outside the window in my room, letting the cold breeze wash over me. Evelyn had been laid to rest for a few days. I was lost in contemplation since I didn't know what to do. Alpha Daniel had been so preoccupied with his people's military preparations. I understood that we must exercise caution because we cannot simply enter a war without thorough planning. Wars are easy to find, but difficult to get rid of. Alpha Daniel was not prepared to lose his people in this fight, and he wanted to consider a better method to make the war less damaging while still winning over Alpha Gideon and Andrea. I hadn't been useless for the past few days since I started training again. This time, I'm not going to sit back and watch someone close to me be taken away; instead, I'm going to fight my fights and win.I was walking away from the window side when I heard a knock on the door. I opened the door and I saw the spy I had dispatched to spy on Andrea and Alpha Gideon return. I sm
Athena's POV Alpha Daniel pushed me on the bed and I licked my lips. I watched him take off his shirt, revealing a muscular body with broad shoulders and strong arms. He looked at me as he removed his shorts. His eyes were intense as he stared down at me. My heart was beating faster than ever before. I could feel my pussy getting wetter by the minute. I wanted to touch myself, but I didn't want to make it obvious. "What's wrong?" He asked. I bit my lip and looked away. "Nothing," I said. He smiled at me and started to remove his pants. I couldn't help but stare. He was wearing black boxers that barely covered his bulge. Alpha Daniel leaned over to kiss me, his tongue danced along my bottom lip and I welcomed him exploring my mouth with enthusiasm. My hand trailed over his chest and stomach, then back to his chest, where my hands caught his nipples, I felt him stiffen at my touch. Even though he didn’t stop kissing me, the way he suddenly stiffened caused me to pull back a littl
Alpha Gideon I was becoming weaker, and I could see my end approaching, which I refused to accept; I am not ready to die, and I can't die now after everything I have been through; I have worked so hard to be where I am today, and it would be such a waste if I died. I looked out the window at the sky, pleading to the moon goddess to heal me. I know it will take time for her to listen to my prayers after all the evil I have done to get to where I am now, but she has to reconsider because all I have gone through was also her fault. She should have brought me into this world from a well-known and notable family; instead, she brought me into this world from a trashy family; I grew up being teased, people pointing accusing fingers at me, and they never missed an occasion to show how worthless I was. I'd had enough of everything and knew it was time for me to take matters into my own hands; I couldn't sit back and wait for the moon goddess to continue writing my fate because I was goi
Gideon’s POV The day arrived swiftly, and I awoke stretching my body, I had hissed while stretching my body so badly because my body had gotten sore from resting in one position, I decided to pretend until I was certain I could reclaim my lost splendor. The doorknob abruptly moved and I instantly relaxed. Two maids entered with a bowl of water, one holding the bowl and the other a towel. I lay quiet as they approached, watching as they carefully placed the bowl on the floor, the girl with the trowel dipped it in water and gently cleansed my skin, and I lay still, letting them do whatever they wished.When they were through, they bowed to me and walked away with the dirty water in the bowl and a wet towel; I was dying to see Mary and tell her the antidote had worked just beautifully. The door opened again, and my lips curved into a smile, which quickly faded as I realized it was the doctor entering the room, rather than Mary. The doctor approached me and checked my vitals. I ponde
Andrea’s POV I groaned and rose from my bed, bored, and considered what I might do to make myself feel better. I sighed and left my room, deciding to check on Alpha Gideon, the fact that he was still alive troubled me because it was already time for him to die. I was bored by having partial control over the pack because I wanted to be the only leader of the pack before Elder Ryker tried to have the pack for himself, the witch didn't warn me the concoction would take so long before he died. My head hurt as I thought about Elder Ryker and his so-called son, whose objectives I don't understand. I gently walked out of my room and went to Alpha Gideon’s chambers. I sighed and halted my steps in front of Alpha Gideon’s doorstep, I tried to open the door, but it was locked. I wrinkled my brows, puzzled as to why the door was locked. "Is Alpha Gideon dead, or is he finally on his feet?" I wondered. Several thoughts ran through my mind at once, and I felt upset. I attempted to open th
