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
Daniel's POV I stood in front of the mirror in my room, looking at my wound, which was practically undetectable because of my quick healing abilities. Everything seemed to be moving quickly, and the moment we had all been waiting for had arrived. I knew I had to act fast to ensure Athena’s and Evan's safety. My door unexpectedly opened, and Athena entered the room with a huge smile on her face, wearing the favorite nightie I love to see on her. "Are you busy?" she inquired as she approached me. "No, I'm not, I'm just looking at myself in the mirror, is everything alright?"I inquired, and she nodded. She stepped closer to me and placed her hands around my neck. "You should take a deep breath, I can see you are worried," she said and I smiled. "Of course I am, I can't wait to get this done with," I said and moved away from her, sitting down on the bed, she moved closer to me and sat down beside me. "Why not lay down and relax, maybe we can talk about random things," she said and
Andrea’s POV “We have to talk” Elder Ryker whispered in my ear and I nodded, gulping down the large lump growing in my throat. My gaze was drawn to the pack members who appeared stunned by the loss of their alpha, and I groaned as I moved forward, knowing I had to confront them. I hoped they didn't say anything bad about me, since I needed these people to support me so that I could achieve all I always wanted. I take my place next to Elder Ryker and raise my hand, silencing the pack members, and even a pin dropped on the floor can be heard, I clear my throat and look at Lucas, who gave me an encouraging smile, though I was nervous deep inside, my expression was stoic, leaving no room for any form of weakness. "It's sad to lose the alpha who is also my love, the pack is in disarray, and everyone is afraid of what might happen, especially after the attack we just survived. But I guarantee you that the council members and I are here to ensure that the state of the pack is not jeopa
Andrea’s POV I returned to my room and shut the door behind me, breathing heavily, I couldn't believe everything I had said to Elder Ryker knowing fully well he was capable of pulling me down with him, he knows a lot, but I also knew if I show him any sign of weakness he will use that against me. I just need to figure out how to get rid of him the way I got rid of alpha Gideon. I thought Alpha Gideon was the only problem I had in this pack, but it appears that a lot more people are greedy than I had anticipated. A tap on my door jolted my thoughts. I groaned and went to the door, where I saw Lucas standing before me, his brow furrowed and appearing anxious. "Come in," I said, opening the door wider for him, and he entered the room. "What did Elder Ryker say, I'm surprised he didn't sell us out," Lucas asked, and I sighed. “He had his selfish reasons for that, you should know by now that everyone in this pack that holds power is all selfish, and they want something” I added a
Andrea’s POV After the self-proclaimed son of Elder Ryker said what he said, I went back to my room and couldn't sleep the rest of the night because my thoughts were fascinated with what he said. The man appeared to know more than he was saying, and while I tried not to be troubled by what he said, I couldn't help but be bothered. I sighed as I continued to turn on the bed. I instantly thought about how he may be saying such things to terrify me, and it would turn out to be unsubstantiated rumors, so I squeezed my eyes shut, determined to go to bed and not trouble myself with unpleasant things since I had accomplished so much today. * I sigh as I open my eyes, my entire body aching, and I stretch like a wild cat. I sighed and went to the bathroom to take a bath. I finished bathing and returned to the room dressed in black. I walked out of the room and into the dining hall. My steps paused when I spotted Elder Ryker, his eyes on me as he approached, "good morning," I said. "Go
