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
Athena’s POVI sigh as I hear snoring near me, I feel weak deep within, and I try turning on the other side of the bed I'm sleeping on, but my hand lands on a hard surface, I'm shocked, and I open my eyes immediately. I screamed when I noticed a naked unknown man lying opposite me. I stood up and fell to the floor, naked, and hurriedly grabbed the blanket next to me, wrapping it around my body; I was astonished to discover that there were two men in the room.I struggled to recall the previous night's events; I remembered a strange man coming to me and speaking to me; I remembered suddenly losing consciousness and gasping; I looked around the odd room and realized I had been kidnapped.Tears welled up in my eyes as I considered what might have happened throughout the night that I didn't remember when I heard the door open, and I was surprised to see Andrew enter the room with his beta and lady Edna. Lady Edna's face is permanently plastered with a wicked smirk, Andrew is enraged, an
Daniel’s POVI didn't expect the war to last so long; I underestimated the pack, but I am not someone you should mess with; I will trample on you and make you wish you had never thought of irritating me.“We're almost at the Dark Wand Pack,” Beta Carl said, and my heart raced. I'd missed Athena so much that I'd spent several nights dreaming of her and our child, always seeming to have her in my embrace and playing with my son, only to wake up to reality the next morning, the aftermath of the dream leaving my heart, aching and yearning for my mate.I see the love I would have had if Athena was still with me, and it hurts even more that I was the one who destroyed the lovely life I would have had. We were standing in front of the Dark Wand pack's massive wall when the gate suddenly opened, and I saw Andrew, my step-brother, approaching me; I hadn't seen him in years, and he hadn't changed. He had to have known we were coming.“Stepbrother!” I scoffed, his angry eyes mirroring mine; nei
