Andrew’s POV“Alpha Andrew! Are you going to abandon me here? You pledge to always protect me, yet you abandon me in the dungeon!” Edna yelled, and I came to a halt, angrily brushed my hands, and walked back to meet her. “You should be grateful, you should be grateful that I did not kill you after what you did,” I remarked, and she snorted.“You don't care about her! You're only this way because of your stepbrother!” Edna shouted, and I put my hand inside the jail, clutching her garments. As I drew her closer, she hit her face on the rods that held her in place. “Don't tempt me, Edna, you should not tempt what I can do, I can kill you with a snap of my fingers,” I said dangerously, my finger elongating, her mouth immediately shut, and I saw fear lingering in her eyes, I let go of her clothes and she fell on the floor, she raised her head to look at me and her eyes brimmed with tears. I moved away without feeling sorry for her, wiping my hands on the handkerchief I was carrying, whe
Athena’s POVI groaned as I clutched my palm on my head and felt a severe headache pass through my skull. I yawned as I gently opened my eyes.I looked around the room and realized it was unfamiliar to me, my eyes widened in awareness that I might have been kidnapped, I attempted getting up quickly but fell on the bed groaning, I grabbed my head once again attempting to soothe the agony I felt“Easy lady,” a strange voice muttered, and I quickly darted my gaze to my side, where I noticed a man standing with a cup of coffee in his hand, a small spoon in his right hand, and stirring the contents of the coffee cup.“How do you feel now that you're up?” he inquired, and I closed my eyes groaning; the last thing I recalled was rushing with my kids within the forest, and I blacked out when I was struck by a large piece of wood.“What am I doing? What happened to my children? What is your name? How did I end up here?” I inquired, and he chuckled. “A question at a time,” he taunted, continui
Athena’s POVWe exited my room, and Alpha Lucas took me to the one where my children were. As soon as I saw them, my eyes welled up with tears and I hurried to meet them. "Are they okay?"I inquired, my eyes welling up with tears. "They're fine; they're just sleeping right now and will wake up soon."Alpha Lucas spoke up, and I nodded."All right, thank you so much for your hospitality; you could have left us to die in the woods," I said, and he smiled warmly at me. We discreetly exited the room so as not to disturb the children. As we walked outdoors, I noticed numerous camp houses all over the place. I was stunned and slowly tilted my head to look at Alpha Lucas"We are a group of rogues who have formed our own pack; I am their leader and alpha, and I make sure to provide for and cater to them."Alpha Lucas spoke out, and I nodded. I was perplexed as to how I had ended up among rogues."How did you find me?"I inquired, and Alpha Lucas began walking slowly, and I followed him. "We wa
Edna’s POV I was busy pacing about in my room, I was happy that Athena was caught and everything went according to my plan. Andrew has grown to fall in love with Athena, and that wasn’t what we agreed on initially when I found out Athena was living in the pack when I was away. I wasn’t just chosen to be Alpha Andrew’s mate, I have helped him grow this pack, and I was there for him through thick and thin, and it was only reasonable that we end up together to strengthen the pack and its borders. I traveled to several packs to get business done, to do things that will bring more earnings to the pack and strengthen the power of Alpha Andrew only to help him avenge against his brother who has taken his rights Andrew approached me one of the nights and told me about how Athena was his step-brother’s mate, and he wanted to use Athena against his brother, he had pleaded with me to let him do everything he wanted to do, and he will come back to, which I foolishly accepted the condition.
Athena’s POVThe sun rose early in the morning. I yawned and turned to the opposite side of the blanket I was resting on as a ray of sun hit the room. I fluttered my eyes open and lay on my back; there was no leisurely rotation of the fan for me to gaze at, so I quickly stood up and checked on my children.I grumbled and was ready to stand up when I heard a tap on the camp tent I was sleeping in. I groaned and stood up. When I opened the tent, Grace was standing there.Grace has been the kindest person I have encountered in the pack so far; she loves children and always takes her time to care for my kids. She had a broad smile plastered on her face. "Good morning, Grace," I said."Good morning, Athena, and how are the kids?" She inquired, peering around my back to see the kids, and I pulled away, allowing her to enter the tent."They're still sleeping," I chuckled."They look so beautiful in their sleep," she added, and I smiled at my kids.I've been living in the camp for three weeks
Athena’s POV I left the woods together with Alpha Lucas and the two guards. We returned to the camp home and saw a group of people gathered. I increased my steps towards them, and I saw three men laying on the floor, and they were bleeding badly.My heart skipped a beat because I haven’t witnessed such brutal injuries. They were gulping and trying to hold onto their lives. My hands started shaking, and I moved closer to them.I bent down on the floor immediately and tore their clothes away. I looked at the wound and it looked bad. I winced at the pain they might be going through and turned to look at the people surrounding me. "I need a bowl of water and as many towels available?" I screamed, and I saw three ladies scurry away.A few minutes later they came back with three bowls of water and a lot of towels that I couldn’t count. I took one of the towels and dipped it into the water. I soaked it with water and squeezed the content away from it. I used it to clean one of the injured
Lucas’ POV "We understand Alpha; we hope that will be enough for the pack members," Louis, my beta, said, and I nodded. They bowed their heads and left my office.I stood up as soon as they left and went outside. I was strolling through the pack when I saw Athena; she was busy teaching some of her students how to mix herbs. I halted my steps and smiled when I saw them.She is radiantly beautiful wherever she is, and everything looks perfect on her. She suddenly tilted her head and saw me. She stopped what she was doing and bowed her head. My legs started moving towards her on their own accord."Alpha Lucas," she said. The moment I was close to her, I smiled, and every other person around her bowed their heads to acknowledge me."You must be very busy; I shouldn’t disturb you," I said, and she chuckled."No, I am not; I was almost rounding up," she said, and I nodded at her. "That is all for today, and I hope you were able to assimilate everything I thought you would," she said, and t
Athena’s POVThe breeze was blowing my dress, and I was trying to chop some herbs while holding the hem of my clothing tightly. "Let me assist you, lady Athena, the breeze is too strong."I chuckled as Grace remarked, I actually enjoy the weather and find it calming, even though it's chaotic."Don't worry, I can do it myself. You can assist me in getting some water," I remarked, and she nodded."What exactly do you need water for?"Grace inquired."I need it at the clinic to water some plants," I explained, and she nodded again, adamantly refusing to leave me alone.Alpha Lucas has gone out of his way to provide a clinic for me, and I adore it; it's my safe haven, and I often marvel at how lucky I am to get to this point "I'll stick around with you and get the water later."Grace insisted, and I giggled because I knew she wasn't going to let me go. My giggling came to a halt when my gaze involuntarily landed on Alpha Lucas; he saw me, grinned, and began advancing toward me. "It's wind
