Athena’s POV

I slept on the chilly floor with my son in my arms; the cold was so intense that I couldn't feel my blood flowing; I slowly opened my eyes when I couldn't feel my son move any longer.

I slept on my back with him on my chest since I didn't want him to feel the cold, even though I didn't have a blanket to wrap him in. Andrea didn't bother sending us food, especially for my son because she knows he's just a kid who will need to be fed frequently.

I promptly sat up and noticed my son struggling to breathe; it appeared that the cold was too much for him. I put my hand on his head and he was feverish; he had just had pneumonia; his mouth was shivering; and I was terrified; I didn't want anything to happen to my baby.

"Somebody should help me!"I screamed but received no response; I know the guards are listening but preferred to ignore me. "My son is on his deathbed!" You'd better respond before anything awful happens to him! Andrea will not take it easy on you if he dies!"I sc

    Lucas' POV I opened my eyes with a groan and rose from the bed, clutching my head hard, an intense headache flowing through my brain. When I looked around my room, memories clashed with me; I remembered everything that had transpired after I went to see Athena in the prison to seek her forgiveness; Andrea had injected something into me, and I lost consciousness once more. I need to figure out what she's doing to me because I can't keep losing my mind and subjecting myself to her authority. She has destroyed all I have set in place, and she now commands my pack, the individuals I have worked hard to dominate. I searched my cupboard and eventually found some pain reliever pills, I strained to drink a cup of water and swallowed the medicine with it, I fell on the floor breathing heavily and squeezing my eyes shut, attempting to control my breathing and relax my head before I could stand up again. After a while, I felt the headache decrease and stood up from the floor. I walked

    Andrea’s POV I never imagined the elixir would wear off so quickly and now be fully gone. I remember the hardships I went through to get the witch to give me the Elixir only to have it destroyed; I fisted my fingers violently beside me, attempting to control my fury. I know that exposing my rage to Lucas will only exacerbate the problem, and if I don't play it carefully, he might kick me out of his pack since he has complete power over his people; they only followed my commands because of him, and if he revokes that, all my plans will crumble. I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs and demand why the elixir chose the worst time of all to wear off, I had hurried back to my room to meet him and discuss taking Athena to meet her mate, and now I am greeted with another concern. When I was summoned because Athena's son was dying, I wanted to abandon him, but then I recalled how much I needed him and had a change of heart; I only need him to live long enough to meet his father.

    Athena’s POV Things improved once Evan began living with me in the prison; I was surprised that Andrea provided us with blankets, nice food, and drink, and she also stopped the daily torment in the torturing chamber. I was doing well and couldn't wait to be totally recovered and have Andrea's head. I heard murmuring, and I knew something was going on that I'm not aware of, so I gently laid Evan on my chest and patted his back; he was recovering well, and it wasn't as horrible as I expected if he was in the cell with me. I raised my head to see Kiara walking towards me, and I smiled as her eyes locked with mine. Since Andrea has become a bit nicer, Kiara has taken it upon herself to make sure Evan has proper treatment, and she is always coming over to check on him, and with that, she feeds us some herbs that we need to recover quickly. "How are you doing today?"Kiara inquired, and I grinned. "I'm fine, and Evan is fine; he's adjusting to being in the cell."Kiara's face sank as I c

I noticed people gathered around me, their eyes on me, I appeared like a criminal being brought for punishment; everyone was watching to see what would happen to me, I tilted my head when the guards suddenly stepped closer to me. The guards hauled me roughly to the vehicle, and I noticed Lucas, who had his eyes on everyone but me. He appeared ashamed to see me, and I also noticed a lot of men gathered to go with us. I immediately knew that this was going to be a war, and all I could hope for was that Alpha Daniel would overpower them and save us. I would love to kill Andrea with my bare hands; there is nothing that will bring me peace than seeing her choke and beg me with tear-filled eyes to spare her, and I wou

The streets were deserted, with just the occasional drip of rain coming off the leaves of the trees breaking the calm. I stepped out of the tent, looked at the dark sky, sighed, and didn't know what to do. I wanted to go back and look for Athena because something was clearly wrong, and I was the only one who could find it. I know Athena is out there, and she may not be in the best of health. Damon suddenly approached me, he couldn't walk well since he had been injured in his leg during the battle, and it was terrible, I thought I was going to lose him, but Damon is a strong man, he wouldn't go down without a fight. He walked closer to me and stopped when he was only a few inches away from me, calling out "Alpha!" and slightly bowing his head “Damon! How is your leg?” I asked, and he slightly bent his head to look

There were no clouds in the sky, and the sun's rays stream through the trees, casting long and magnificent shadows. Amidst the magnificent view of nature, there was a continuous fight, and the warriors are fully in their wolf forms, armed with teeth, claws, and the strength of their wolf forms. Andrew came towards me with a furious resolve engraved on his face, he growled loudly and his boned cracked as he shifted into his wolf form, Andrew, like me, had suffered many injuries as a result of the fight, but neither of us is willing to give up on this war. The struggle for supremacy between the two of us was significantly more intense. The fight between us was vicious. Fur flew, blood spilled, and growls and howls filled the early morning air.

"What exactly is this, Andrea? What exactly are you doing?"I yelled at her, and she cackled. I noticed men mobilized behind her, as well as another man standing alongside her. My eyes caught with Athena's and I noticed indifference in her eyes, she didn't have any emotions after seeing me again, and I know she must have hated me so much, one of the men suddenly walked inside the van and brought out a tiny kid, my eyes opened when I saw him and I realized he was my son right away! "What do you think this is, huh?"Andrea inquired, her eyes flitting about me and Andrew in contempt. "I know I haven't paid as much attention to you in recent years, but that doesn't

My men and Andrew's men had stopped fighting, and they all had their eyes on us, perplexity on their faces since none of them knew what was going on. My eyes looked around for a means to save Athena and my son; I wasn't going to give up on any of them, nor would I give up my title to her. I've heard stories about her father's tyranny, which caused him to lose his title. He had been unjust to the other packs who were under him, and he thought he could rule as he pleased, but the people had had enough, and my father was brave enough to step forward and take the throne from him. Looking at Andrea and her brother, who appears to be a puppet, shows that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, they are exactly like their father, and I am not about to give up on what my father fought so hard for.

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.

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.
