Andrea's POVMy legs were stuck in place, reluctant to move closer to Alpha Gideon, who had stopped gulping for air and had stopped moving. My body immediately went cold, and when I regained my strength, I came closer to him and knelt before him. I tried to feel his pulse, but he wasn't breathing, his chest wasn't moving, and he was dead. I screamed and collapsed on the floor, crawling back with my hands and ass rubbing the ground. I know I've always wanted Alpha Gideon to die, but this wasn't how I intended it; I didn't want his death to impact me so that I could win the people's hearts.Tears welled up in my eyes, and I was terrified; I had never been so terrified in my life. I was unsure of what to do, and I didn't know if there was any way I could dispose of his body without being discovered. Several things raced through my mind at once, and I blamed myself for stabbing him with the hairpin.But I couldn't totally blame myself because if I hadn't murdered him, he would have kille
Andrea’s POV When Elder Ryker noticed us, his feet paused, his sight went between me and Lucas, and then his focus dropped to the wrapped dead body. "What exactly is going on here?" What did you wrap in a big blanket?"Elder Ryker inquired, and I cocked my head to glance at Lucas, he had a look on his face that said, "I told you so," he had predicted this, but I was too desperate to think it through. "We don't owe you an explanation, Elder Ryker, I didn't ask you while you were holding a candle in the middle of the night," I said, smirking, and he leaned closer to me and sniffed. His eyes sparkle like a predator who has finally caught its prey. “Holding a candle in the middle of the night is not suspicious Andrea, but wrapping a whatsoever in a blanket and dragging it out of your room in the middle of the night is suspicious,” he said and my frown deepened. I wished I could just flick my finger, and he'd be gone; I had no one else to blame but Lucas; if he had accepted the tim
Athena’s POVAs the men gathered inside the trunk, ready to go to war, the moon shone brightly, and Miriam stood outside, holding Evan in her hand. Athena moved closer to them and kissed the top of Evan's head, murmuring, "I will be back soon." "Are you certain about this? Isn't this dangerous?"Miriam inquired, and I offered a feeble smile. "It's dangerous, but we have to take the risk and fight for eternal peace," I replied, and Miriam gave me a look that indicated she didn't believe me. "However you are not required to leave. alpha Daniel and the guards are more than enough to fight this battle; just stay back for Evan," Miriam grumbled. “As we have discussed before, I am going for this battle and I will be back, you have no reason to be scared, I assure you that everything will be fine, okay?” I said and Miriam gulped slowly nodding her head. Alpha Daniel suddenly approached us, his outfit radically different as he was dressed for a battle, his eyes darting between us, and he
Daniel's POV I moved away from Athena as soon as I asked her to stay where I would be able to find her, I grabbed my sword fiercely, waiting for the first person to attack me,The Pack inhabited the moonlit meadows as they gathered before me and my men, some of their men had shifted into their wolf form just like some of my men, their fur shimmering at night and they growled lightly. The night was still, and the garden held its breath as we gathered in a clearing, their eyes gleaming with determination and fury. Their muscles tense and their teeth bared.Amongst the men who stood, a man stepped forward. He was slightly older than the rest and I arched my brows at him, I was sure I had seen him before. He cleared his throat as his eyes wandered around us before settling his gaze on me. He was adorned with a silver crescent necklace, and stood tall, his howl resonating through the trees.“To what do we owe this attack?” the man asked, and I stepped forward. “I only want to speak with
Athena’s POV Lucas's eyes darted between us before he sighed and decided to walk away, I cracked the bone in my neck waiting for Andrea to attack first. Andrea’s bone cracked as she shifted into her wolf, my bones cracked too, and I shifted, which made my senses heightened and energy pulsing through me. Andrea stalked me like her prey. Her silvery-white fur was illuminated by the moon. She moved with calculated stealth, her eyes focused and unyielding. The atmosphere grew tense, we stood at the edge of a clearing, our eyes locked in an unwavering stare. A gust of wind rustled the leaves, and unexpectedly, the clash began. Andrea lunged forward, teeth bared and claws extended, aiming to strike me down with swift precision. But I, having anticipated her aggression, effortlessly dodged the attack, swiftly pivoting on my hind legs. In a swift countermove, I leaped onto Andrea’s back, my vicious teeth sinking deep into Andrea’s shoulder, drawing blood. A guttural growl escaped Andrea
Andrea’s POV I watched as Alpha Daniel dragged Athena along with him and wondered what had happened; it had been months since I had seen him so close, and he still looked as good as he usually did; as soon as they were out of sight, I sank to the floor, panting heavily. I noticed I was injured and bleeding severely; I had underestimated Athena since I had no idea she had grown so strong; the battle was almost surreal, and each assault was deliberate. She would have defeated me if it hadn't been for the years of training, and I wasn't sure if that would have happened if Alpha Daniel hadn't interrupted the fight. I then noticed Lucas coming towards me, his eyes darting around. I noticed everywhere had become quiet and there were no cries of battles anymore. “Are you okay? What happened? Where is Athena?” Lucas asked, his eyes darting around. “They left! I don’t know why they did it, I am injured, help me to pack’s clinic, I need immediate attention.” I said and Lucas nodded.
Andrew’s POV I stepped out of the pack building and stretched my body, my bones cracking as they had been stiff from being in one position for so long. My pack duties and business have taken up a lot of my time recently, and my body is often aching. I decided to go for a stroll because I couldn't stay in my office any longer; I yawned and began walking; I noticed the pack members going about their business, and the smiles on their faces made me happy. I came to a halt when I noticed Richard, a pack council member who was also in charge of handling various aspects of the pack business. When he was close to me, he paused and diligently bowed before standing up straight. “ I was heading to your office before I found you here,” Richard said and I nodded. “What happened?” I asked, and he exhaled deeply, I noticed the file he had in his hands. “It’s about the recorded sale at the coast,” Richard said, and I knew he had no other reasons for asking about me except business which I wa
Andrew’s POV I let out a sigh. I exited my room with Edna, and walked outside the pack building with her, the guards on duty assisted with our luggage, which they placed on the car booth, My beta took a step closer, his hands clutched behind him, his stare fixed on me. "Be careful, Alpha, and we hope to see you soon," he said, and I smiled. “Yes, don’t worry, I will keep in touch, and don’t hesitate to call me and let me know if anything is going on that I need to be aware of” I replied and he nodded. My beta took a step back as I entered the car with Edna. We rode out of the pack after the driver started the car, the ride was filled with silence, Edna was busy with her phone while I was looking out through the window. * The massive gate of the pack appeared in front of us, and the guards on duty let us in right away because Alpha Daniel had previously informed them of our arrival. We drove through the bushy lane before arriving at the housing. The car came to a stop in f
