Andrea’s POV When I locked my gaze on her again, I couldn't help but feel a surge of rage coursing through my veins. I had a flawless plan in place, but she ruined it by becoming pregnant for Alpha Daniel and becoming his mate. Alpha Daniel and his family have taken everything from us, even our right to remain in the pack. My grandfather was the alpha king, who purportedly stepped down for my father, but Alpha Daniel's father went ahead and killed him, and then he expelled us from the pack; we were simply kids trying to survive in the wild. We had planned our lives in order to exact revenge on Alpha Daniel; I had to find methods to return to the pack and let his vile hands on me simply to make me his Luna, and then I would have him killed and seize what was rightfully ours. The plan would have been simple and straightforward if Alpha Daniel hadn't discovered she was pregnant, but Athena botched everything, and I now have to devise a new strategy to bring him down, destroy all
Andrea’s POV “I will be back by dusk, I have some things to take care of,” I said and Lucas dropped the glass of wine he was holding “Where are you going to? We haven’t had any proper discussion since you arrived at the pack” Lucas said, and I snorted, fisting my hands and trying so hard to control my raging heart. “And whose fault is that?” I asked cockily, and he rolled his eyes, looking away. “You don’t understand me, and you are not trying to understand me at all,” Lucas said, and I raised my right brow at him, what nonsense is he saying that he wants me to understand “I am not going through this with you again Lucas, have a great time with her while I go out there and do what I can do,” I said angrily Lucas sighed frustrated, he stood up and moved closer to me.“Let’s have a late dinner when you are back, I can’t be on bad terms with you sister, we have been through a lot of difficulties together to suddenly disagree,” Lucas said and I snorted“It took you so long to realize
Lucas’s POV My eyelids fluttered awake, and I squinted immediately; light rays invaded my eyes, and I clutched my head hard, feeling a crucifying headache. I dragged myself out of bed, wondering how I got here; the last thing I recalled was having dinner with Andrea before collapsing. "Lucas!"I abruptly heard my name and turned around, but I was the only one in the room. "Lucas! You must regain everything we have lost!"I groaned as I heard my mother's voice and turned around, but there was no one in the room. "Mother! Mother! Mother! Please don't die! Stay with Andrea and me!"When I heard my younger self cry, I screamed and collapsed to the floor. "He killed father, banished us, and made us rogues, we had no food or water to drink, we barely survived, and now his son is the Alpha king!"When I heard Andrea's voice, I screamed and gripped my head firmly. I'm not sure what's wrong with me, and I'm not certain why I'm hearing multiple voices; I feel like I'm going insane. My he
Athena’s POV The cries of Evan woke me up early, and I groaned standing up, I saw Emily sleeping peacefully in her crib and I smiled. I picked Evan from his crib and laid him on my chest, patting him slowly. He continues crying nonstop and I decided to go outside, the air was a bit cold, and I wasn’t wearing clothes that fitted the weather, I was still trying to make him stop crying when I suddenly heard footsteps, I saw Grace walking towards me, she smiled and yawned at the same time “The air is crispy, what are you doing here at this time?” she asked, and her eyes landed on Evan “Oh he is crying, bring him here,” she said, and I gave Evan to her. Evan stopped crying when Grace carried him, and we burst into laughter, he is so used to being with Grace that he immediately stopped crying after she picked him “This is hilarious,” I said, trying to calm down my laughter, I suddenly saw a lot of guards approaching us and the smile on my face died, I was worried about what happened
Daniel's POV The war between Andrew’s Pack and mine raged on, exhaustion began to set in. The once fierce and aggressive wolf warriors we sent to fight for us now moved in slow, sluggish movements, driven purely by sheer willpower to continue fighting. Blood and sweat dripped down our matted fur as we each desperately tried to gain the upper hand, but the victory seemed to be slipping away with each passing moment. Day and night, we fought tirelessly, not wanting to succumb to our opponents, the hatred between us had become so ingrained. As time went on, the war never ceased, and it grew more violent with each passing day. We both suffered heavy casualties as we fought tooth and nail for dominance. The once lush and lively forest was now dark and desolate, with broken trees and piles of rubble littering the ground. Andrew once filled with a lust for power and control and wanted me desperately dead, now looked weary and fatigued. Deep lines etched onto our faces, showing the countle
Athena’s POV I had never imagined that I would find myself in this situation, but I found myself standing in a cold, sterile cell with iron bars for walls. At first, I felt numb. I couldn't believe everything going on around me, I had lost my freedom and my daughter, and now I don’t even know where my son is. It seemed unreal, like a bad dream I couldn't wake up from. But as the second turned into hours and the hours turned into days, reality set in, and I found myself feeling increasingly depressed and hopeless. I felt so lonely, and I had several dreams of my children in my hands and each day I wake up feeling so depressed. But I refuse to sink into a dark hole of despair, I wasn’t going to die without killing Andrea, I will definitely avenge the death of my child. With that hope buried deep inside of me, I suddenly had the energy to stand up, and I looked around the dungeon hoping I could find something to help me escape. I won’t be able to get my revenge if I am stuck here,
Athena’s POV “I don’t want to listen to your story!” I screamed, and he chuckled, he held the irons tightly and snarled at me, I had to move back a bit as his claws slowly elongated. "Isn't it intriguing to discover the reason behind your presence here?" he asked with a hint of amusement in his voice, his lips twitching with a faint smile as he moved them slightly to the side. "Please, just release me! Being trapped here is unbearable," I pleaded before slumping to the ground in exhaustion. The way they were treating me was taking a toll on me and I just wanted to leave. The cell had an unpleasant odor that only added to my misery. As I slumped in my cell, without warning, he grabs onto my clothes, he pulled me forward, causing my head to hit the cold iron bars. The blow left me feeling lightheaded, my eyes struggling to focus as I looked back at Lucas. I had not been eating well since I'd been imprisoned, and with every passing moment, I could feel my strength waning. He let go
Athena’s POV As I collapsed onto the ground, my legs were too feeble to hold me up any longer. Andrea was prolonging my punishment, but I couldn't help wondering if she would be capable of withstanding what I had in store for her. Exhaustion had set in, and I could feel my energy slipping away with each passing moment. I let out a deep sigh of contemplation as I tried to conjure up a plan. Upon hearing rapid footsteps, I immediately quieted down. I was confident that the guards wouldn't come to inspect me now since they had only taken their leave a few minutes prior. Their constant checking ensured that I didn't make a run for it, but my current depleted state left me questioning the sense in attempting an escape. The steps halted in front of the cell and I raised my head up immediately, I saw Grace standing, and I was shocked, I quickly crawl to hold the iron bar while she knelt before me with her eyes filled with worries “What are you doing here?!” I asked, and my eyes darted ar
Athena’s POV It’s been a month since the death of Andrea and Lucas, and it still felt unreal, this past month has been the happiest I have been in my life. I have never felt so at peace, sleeping with no course to worry about. I looked at my wedding dress, and it was breathtaking, I ran my hand through it and it was a masterpiece, with delicate lace and silk, adorned with shimmering beads and sequins. I smiled as I took it from the hanger and wore it. Slowly slipping into the wedding dress, I felt an indescribable sensation. Every delicate stitch seemed to weave love and happiness into the fabric. As I stood before the mirror, I gasped in awe at the vision it reflected. My eyes shimmered with tears of overwhelming joy as I finally realized my dream of being a bride. I stepped out of the room when I was pleased with the way I looked and met beta Carl outside, he had promised to walk me down the aisle and I have never felt so glad. Beta Carl stretched his hand and I slowly placed m
Athena’s POVI watched as Lucas gulped for air while struggling to stay alive, he died and Andrea screamed and ran over to his dead body. She tried to carry him, but she had no power as she cried profusely. “Lucas! Lucas wake up!” she screamed and the kind part of me felt bad while watching her cry, but I suddenly remembered how she laughed devilishly as they killed Emily, every ounce of pity I felt for her left immediately and I scowled. “Are you ready to give up now or not?” Alpha Daniel asked a land, and Andrea shot him an angry look.“I would rather avenge my brother! Avenge my mother who died pitifully in the wilderness, avenge my father who was killed and reaped his title!” Andrea screamed and she stood up, trying to attack Alpha Daniel. I move closer to her and yank her hair, pulling her down, “don’t you think it’s time for you to give up? It’s time you stop everything you are doing and reflect on yourself?” I said, and she elongated her claws, trying to tear my face like I
Athena’s POV I was about to lunge at Andrea after snarling when I heard a screeching yell that caused me to tilt my head immediately. I discovered it was Donald who produced that sound, and I attempted to control my heavy breathing as I stared at him. Elder Ryker was able to escape Alpha Daniel's strike when I noticed him, and his eyes widened in amazement as he saw his son, his body went pale quickly, and I smirked, it seemed what Donald said was true. He must have assumed his son was dead. "You…you are alive?"Elder Ryker pushed himself to say, and his son frowned at him. “You must have thought I got burnt in that car, I escaped and here I am, it’s nice to see you again Father!” Donald said as I stepped closer to them after he mentioned the crest. “What’s going on here?!” a man who I didn’t recognize asked but looking at his attire he seemed to be the chief commander of their pack. “My father, Elder Ryker is responsible for killing the old alpha, Luna Evelyn’s father, for h
Daniel's POV The night was quiet, and I sighed as I looked up at the sky; I had been outside for a while now, trying to clear my mind of the many things that were racing through it. This week, Beta Carl has been quite active and helpful in attempting to get everything in order. I wandered farther into the garden, admiring the gorgeous flowers and attempting to forget about everything going on around me. I sighed and decided it was time to return inside and meet Athena; I've grown so attached to her that I can only sleep better in her arms. I was headed towards the pack building when I heard a bomb detonate. The ground trembled, and I staggered; I tilted my head to see what was going on; I strained my ear and heard the cry of war approaching. My eyes opened in surprise; I hadn't anticipated being attacked. "There is a war approaching, everyone should get ready for a battle," I yelled to the pack members over the mind link as I dashed toward the pack house. I ran up the stai
Andrea’s POV When I saw the crest in Athena's hand, the blood on my face drained and I turned pale. The same crest that Alpha Gideon and I have worked so hard to obtain is now sitting on Athena's hand. I always assumed the crest was something tangible, not realizing that was not the case. When alpha Daniel and Athena exited the courtroom, I tried to rise but my body felt weak as I reflected on everything I had gone through to reach where I am now. I finally pulled myself up and began walking to my room; I can't let Athena and Alpha Daniel gain control of the army; I've sacrificed so much for this, and I'm not going to let it go easily. I slumped on my bed and I entered my room. * I couldn't sleep all night because I was tossing and turning in my bed, and the only time I tried to sleep, I had a terrifying dream about Athena killing me. At the first roasting crow, I got out of bed and decided to take a bath. I finished bathing and dressed in all black because I was still grie
Daniel’s POV Fear gripped me right away. I couldn't trust anyone, let alone a stranger when Athena spoke to me over the pack's mind link. As a result, I was instantly bothered. "What's the matter with you? You went quiet?" Alpha Andrew inquired, and I sighed. "Athena just spoke to me through the mind link; she said a man approached her and asked to speak to her and me," I replied, and they both narrowed their eyes. "Who is that man?"Alpha Andrew inquired. "She doesn't know him," I said. “I think it’s best if we go over and meet her immediately, we can’t be too sure of anything, you know” Beta Carl stated "He is right, we should go meet her right away," Alpha Andrew stated as we all stood up. We walked out of the house and encountered Athena, who was standing beside her with a man whose face I had never seen before. I was taken aback when he referenced the war and claimed to be Elder Ryker's son. I moved in closer to him. "Do you know the gravity of punishment you will re
Athena’s POV The car stopped in front of the pack building, and we both got out. We went inside, and I noticed Alpha Andrew and Edna, who seemed anxious when they saw us, and they approached us. "How did it go?"Alpha Andrew inquired hurriedly. “Exactly like I had thought, Andrea and an elder were blatantly refusing what I had said, but the rest wanted to comply” Alpha Daniel answered. "That elder must be gaining something from whatever is going on," Alpha Andrew responded. “Of course, it’s obvious but it’s not a problem to me, I am going to put them in their places like I have always done” Alpha Daniel answered. "I believe you, you should rest because you appear tired and Athena too,” Alpha Andrew said, and I nodded at what he said. “Yes, we will do that” Alpha Daniel replied, and we walked away from them. I went back to my room and sighed lying on the bed, I heard a knock on the door before the door was pushed open, Miriam came in with Evan, and my face broke into a smi
Daniel’s POV “The crest?” Elder Ryker asked and I smirked. He must have thought he was smart, but he wasn’t smart enough. Murmurs erupted in the hall as people were busy saying different things, no one had seen the crest for long, and it would be surprising if they saw it. “As I had said, Evelyn talked to us regarding everything that had happened in the pack, she told us Alpha Gideon wasn’t her real mate, he bewitched her to believe he was, just to get the alpha title when he finally succeeded, he killed her father and poisoned her every day after locking her up and lied to the world she was dead, he poisoned her and tortured her just to have his hands on the crest because that was the only way he would have full control over the pack’s army,” I said and the murmurs increased. My gaze was drawn to Andrea and Lucas, who were shivering. They appeared afraid, and I chuckled; I would give anything to see them look that way every day. "How sure are we that you're telling the truth? Sho
Athena’s POV I sighed as I looked out my window. I wasn't mentally prepared for the journey ahead of us; Alpha Daniel had sent a letter to Andrea, alerting her of our presence in the pack. The door swung open, and I turned to see Alpha Daniel enter the room. When he saw me, his face burst into a smile, and I swallowed when I noticed the black shirt he was wearing; Alpha Daniel looks nice in anything, but he always looks hot in this specific shirt. "Are you trying to seduce me?"I inquired, and he chuckled as he moved closer to me, wrapping his hands around my waist. I exhaled, resting on him. “I don’t mind seducing you over and over again if that makes you give me another child” Alpha Daniel replied and I chuckled. “You talk about babies too much, don’t you think?” I raise my brows at him. “I want a baby from you Athena, I want to see every stage of pregnancy in you” he murmured and slowly kissed my ear, I closed my eyes and wrapped my hand around his neck. I suddenly rememb
