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
Andrea's POV I sip the glass of wine in my hand with a wide smile on my face, finally! All plans are falling into place, and I am able to mobilize the rogues Lucas has given a home, they will fight beside me and take down alpha Daniel. I love the fact he is so occupied fighting his step-brother over his mate and when I am sure he has lost enough men, and he is weak to continue, I will appear and end him myself, claiming what rightfully belongs to us. I was brought back from my reverie when I suddenly heard the clearing of a throat, I turned my attention to the person, and it was one of the guards in the pack “What brought you here?” I was annoyed he stopped me from daydreaming everything I planned was going to happen, and he bowed his head immediately. “The merchant you seek is here,” he said, and my smile widened, forgetting he actually annoyed me for jolting me back to reality. I dropped the glass of wine I was holding immediately and started moving, he tagged behind my bac
Athena’s POV My hands on the iron bar slipped down, and I slumped on the floor, my hearty beat racing with the thought of Grace and Evan I have hoped they had escaped without Andrea or Lucas catching up with them, I couldn’t wait to escape this place and reunite with my son again. Tears clouded my eyes at the thought of the life I am living, I feel sad to have been separated from my son. I suddenly heard footsteps approaching, and I stood up from the ground immediately, I saw Andrea approaching me with a smirk on her face, which was very annoying. “Well, it seems you can still stand on your feet, those guards haven’t been doing a proper job,” she said, her eyes raking all over my body, my body shudders in disgust at the way she looks at me “What do you want?” I said angrily, standing next to her is annoying and all I want to do was sink my claws into her skin and shred them into pieces the way my lovely daughter Emily was shredded into pieces. “Your son. One of the members o
Lucas’s POV I suddenly opened my eyes and everything felt weird, I looked at my hands while I stood up from the bed and held my head tightly, I groaned as I felt a sharp headache traveling through my head I suddenly thought about Athena and I remembered everything that had happened all this while, I remembered how I shredded Emily into pieces and my heart started beating fast, I couldn’t believe everything I had done. I screamed in pain and I wondered why I did all those things, what had happened to me, and how I came to agree with Andrea in her brutal ways when I have actively disagreed with it. Guilt ate me up, and I am not certain how I am going to face Athena again, I pulled my hair in frustration and I can believe I could do such a thing to a woman I am in love with, I know Athena will never forgive me, no matter what I say. I pondered on this and stepped out of my room, I saw the guard standing by the door side and went over to meet him “Tell me Athena is at the clinic I
