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
Athena’s POV “What have you done to him?!” I screamed as Lucas slumped on the floor before me losing consciousness, I couldn’t believe what Andrea was capable of doing, even to her brother. “Are you still worried about the person who killed your daughter? Oh, I thought you knew better for someone who can’t wait to shred me into pieces” she said in a mockery tone and I scoffed angrily at her. “It’s none of your business what I think or not, how could you do that to him, he is your brother!” I screamed again. “Lucas is not dead, he is just unconscious, and he will wake up soon, back on track,” she said with a smirk on her face “What did you do to him? I know Lucas will never do such a thing to me, he will never hurt me or my kids in his right mind, so what did you do to him?” I screamed the last part. “I drugged him, I fed him some elixir to bring him back to his senses, to remind him what we had been doing and working towards before you came into his life!” She said and scof
Athena's POV I rested my back on the bark of the tree, I sighed as I waited for my legs to heal. I have been sleeping for some hours now, and I felt energized. After some minutes, I stood up from the ground and my legs weren't as bad as they were anymore, I walked deeper into the forest and saw a river, I quickly moved closer and bent on the floor driving some water to satiate my thirst. After drinking enough, I stood up and walked towards a tree, I saw an apple hanging down the tree and cut one, I ate it and I sighed as the taste hits my taste bud. I can't remember the last time I had such a great taste, I haven't been feeding properly, got lean, and looked like a shadow of myself. I started walking away from the tree when I heard several footsteps, I knew Andrea had had her people out to look for me, I quickly started running even with the pain I felt, I needed to get to Andrea before her people caught up with me. I was able to lose them and stepped back into the pack, I hid f
Athena’s POV They dragged me to the dungeon and my legs were busy dangling on the ground and covered with bruises, my blood trailed with us and I groaned, barely able to keep my pain at bay. We finally arrived at the dungeon and this time around they threw me inside a different cell, a much darker and more dangerous one. They locked the door and left, and I looked around if there was anything that could help me escape, but I found nothing. I sniffed trying to control my emotions, but I ended up bursting into tears and I fist my hand angrily thinking about I always end up failing. I suddenly wiped my tears away and sniffed, hoping I could calm my raging heart and start a diverse plan to help me escape. My thoughts were halted when I suddenly felt some steps approaching me, and it was Lucas, I quickly stood up even with my bruised body, the thought of him being aware of everything happening crossed my mind and for once, hope flickered in my heart when I saw him approaching me. He
Andrea’s POV I was still unable to overcome the shock of how Athena almost had me killed, even after spending weeks in the dungeon, maltreated and punished, she still had the power to fight me and almost killed me. I thought she was just a piece of cake I could deal with, I wouldn’t have known what would have happened if Lucas didn’t intervene. I hissed as I cleaned my bruises, I could barely stand well on my feet as I leapt everywhere that I went, I sighed and threw the cotton wool I was holding away, I turned on the shower and stood inside the shower washing my body. I suddenly remembered the day I stepped out of Alpha Daniel’s pack, I was already tired of everything going on and how I kept failing to get his attention, I wanted to discuss my new plan with Lucas only to come here and find other plans, a much more interesting one. I turned off the shower when I was done washing my body, I went back to my room and cleaned the moisture off my body wearing a pair of clean clothes,
Grace’s POV I suddenly heard cries of Evan and dropped the bowl I was holding, immediately running inside the hut we have been using as a shelter. He was sleeping while I decided to scavenge for food. I saw him sitting down in the little crib I made for him, and he stopped crying immediately after he saw me, I picked him up from the crib and gently placed him on my chest while I patted his back. Since we ran away from the pack and started living in the wilderness, we had no choice but to stick here. I have no pack to return to since we are rogues and I hope Lady Athena could come soon and save us. Evan looks weak and fragile, he abruptly stopped breastfeeding and there is not enough food to keep him healthy. I sighed after he had fallen asleep and slowly placed him back in the crib, I needed to look for something for him to eat. I looked at Evan one last time before I locked the door on him and walked away, I walked through the bushy part, looking for fruits that I could feed
Athena’s POVAt this rate my heart might stop beating, I feel so weak, and I could hardly raise my head up, Andrea had told the guards to torture me twice a day and that way, I won’t be able to stand up and try to escape anymore. I lay on the cold ground of the cell I occupied, the cell was so dark that I could hardly see a thing, my hands shivered from all the torture I was going through, and I felt like giving up.I lay down there, my ears on the ground listening to my uneven breaths, my eyes were weak, and I could hardly keep them open anymore, I closed my eyes trying to welcome in sleep, maybe if I sleep I will feel a bit of peace.My eyes were closed, and I almost slumber into sleep when I suddenly heard the cell door open, I raised my head up and saw two of the guards standing in the cell before me and I knew it was torturing time again, I had hardly gotten over the last one, and now I had to go back and continue from where they stopped. I groaned when they pulled me out of th
