Andrew’s POV Alpha Daniel has left me in a state of contemplation ever since he departed; the concept of who my father truly was disturbed me with each passing day; he never treated me as a son, and I never tried to learn about him; I only knew him as the alpha king who pregnant my mother after a one-night fling. I sighed and stepped out of my chambers, the sight of what the pack is left my heart troubled; the pack is no longer what it used to be, and the war has done a lot of damage to it; I know it will take a lot of labor to restore it to its former glory. I noticed Beta Royce approaching me; he paused his feet when he was only a few inches away from me and bowed his head gently. "Good afternoon, Alpha Andrew," he said. "Good afternoon, beta Royce, what has brought you here?"I inquired. "It's about the ongoing construction, I wanted you to oversee some of the projects before they go ahead," he replied, and my gaze ran across him; he had grown slimmer than he used to be, with
Andrew’s POV “Edna” I called, and I could see the shock in her eyes; I know I'm the last person she expected to see in the dungeon; I haven't come down here to see her since Alpha Daniel abandoned her to suffer. "What exactly are you doing here?! Are you coming to see if I'm still alive? Are you upset that I'm still alive and breathing?" I sighed as she cackled violently. "I don't want you dead, Edna, even after everything you've done," I said, and she clasped her hand around the iron bar, forcing herself to stand. "After everything I've done?! What exactly do you mean?" she demanded aggressively. "Edna…" my words became stuck in my mouth as she shouted. "You were the one who reversed everything we said! I served you, let you touch me, and never said no to you, but what did you do instead?! You went back on your words just because of her, and tossed me aside, desperate times call for desperate measures, and I had to do what I did," she sobbed, her eyes welling up with tears
Daniel’s POV It's been a few weeks since I returned to the pack, and I'd want to praise Beta Carl for doing an excellent job, keeping everything running well while I was away. I glanced at myself in the large mirror in my room and was pleased with my appearance; I had nearly entirely recovered from all of my battle injuries, I could walk well and move my hand free, and I had forgotten I had been at war for several months. I groaned and exited my room, heading to the dining hall, where I found Beta Carl, who bowed his head when he saw me and I nodded curtly at him “Good morning alpha” he greeted “Good morning, Beta Carl, do you have anything you want to discuss with me before I leave?” I asked at the same time the chef came in with my breakfast. I was planning to leave the pack today and return to retrieve Athena; I will do everything I can to persuade her to come back with me for our son's protection. "No, alpha, I just wanted to see you before you go; I hope you return wi
Andrea’s POV I awoke with stomach discomfort and remembered what I had eaten the day before; I struggled to get out of bed and dragged my feet to the bathroom; I vomited on the toilet; and I struggled to control my staggered breathing. I rinsed my mouth and fought to walk out of the bathroom; I returned to my room, but my stomach was still upset, and I knew I needed to call on someone, but I couldn't, and none of the servants were close enough to help me. I forced myself out of the room and began crawling, hoping to find someone who could help me before collapsing; my vision began to blur, and I was afraid of dying, I wasn't ready to die, especially because I have so much I want to do. I strained to raise my head as I heard footsteps and saw Lucas. Lucas' eyes widened as he hastened his steps and came over to take me. "Andrea! Andrea!" were the last words I heard before collapsing. ** I opened my eyes and groaned, looking around the strange room, I found a doctor, Alpha Gid
Athena’s POV My heart skipped a beat when I saw Alpha Daniel; I wasn't expecting to see him, and I was contemplating leaving the community; Gonzales has been gracious enough to teach me, but my heart isn't here anymore, and I want to leave with my son and find a more convenient place to live. I was curious as to who informed Alpha Daniel, I was going to leave even if I wasn't, he had no right to show up here, I made it clear the last time I was done with him, I held his hand and pulled him away from the crowd to send him home. His words… were persuasive, but I wasn't sure what to do; I know my son deserves to be with his father and needs to be protected. I instantly considered everything in light of the reality that I have no direction; what if anything happens, and I lose Evan, just as I lost Emily? I will undoubtedly take my own life. I instantly remembered how useful the little training I had here had been to me, and I realized I needed to keep on going so that I could be so
Athena’s POV It's been a few days since I returned to the pack, and it almost felt like I never left. All the servants were overjoyed to see me, and they all expressed their appreciation, which made me cry because I never realized I was loved in this way. Miriam was always in my room, ready to take care of me and Evan, and she tried to fill me in on everything that had happened in the previous three years, "I'm telling you, can you believe it?" She abruptly jolted me out of my reverie. "Are all of these necessary?"I inquired as she worked on my hair, which she was curling. Alpha Daniel has invited me to dinner, and she wants me to look great for him. “Yes, it is. You have to look gorgeous” she said giggling and I moved my head away from her. “I don’t want to look beautiful for him, I have no interest in your alpha, Miriam. I am purely here because of our son” I said, and it felt weird calling Evan our son, I am so used to calling him my son. “You don’t need to look perfect fo
Athena’s POV The sun was scorching today; I looked up at the sky and sighed; my lips were parched, and I needed to drink something to quench my thirst. I exited my room and headed down to the kitchen to fetch some water and possibly some nibbles. I could have called Miriam to help me fetch all of these things, but she was with Evan and I didn't want to bother her. Everyone I passed nodded to acknowledge me, and I knew the word of Evan being the alpha's son and me being his mate must have spread throughout the pack. I was already used to the looks, and I don't mind when people lock their gaze on me, I stepped into the kitchen and all the chatting stopped. I ignored them and took a glass of water, which I drank all at once and then took another, hoping to cure my awful thirst. When I was pleased, I grinned and walked out of the kitchen. I spotted Alpha Daniel approaching and paused my steps, furrowing my brows, the idea of the dinner we had crossed my mind, and I was angry with the
Andrew’s POV It was a wonder Edna agreed to work with me; I know it was a difficult decision for her to make. She must have despised me, but her independence is important to her, just as I need her help to rebuild my pack to its former glory. She is a skilled and outstanding businesswoman, and I require a large sum of money to complete a large amount of infrastructure. I went to the pack clinic, hoping to find Edna there, but the doctor said she had already left. I was surprised because I expected her to take a long time to recover, but it appeared she recovered very quickly, so I decided to walk to her chambers and asked about her health, I have to be conscious of everything I do with her. I finally arrived at the front of her chambers after walking for a while, I exhaled deeply before knocking on the door, and I heard her footsteps and the door creaked open, her furrowed brows softened when she saw me standing at the door, and my gaze went down her body and I noticed she was
