Athena’s POV

Andrew's eyes swept over my body, and I felt myself shudder.

“Where are you originally from?” And why do you have men chasing after you, who are you?” he inquired. Andrew inquired right away, and I considered telling him the truth, but I was afraid that he would take me back to Daniel if he discovered I was his mate, and soon everyone in each pack would know that Daniel was looking for me. I have decided not to go back, and I am not going back on my words.

“My name is Athena,” I murmured, biting my lips, my insides churning as I considered the ideal thing to say to make him believe me.

“You already told me that,” he responded, practically hissing, and I immediately tucked my hands between my knees.

“My family and I are simple farmers; we live near the border of my pack, and those men ambushed us; they killed my family, and I had to flee; they tried to kill me as well,” I explained, and he gave me a doubtful look.

“Is that why you have so many men following you? An

    Athena’s POV My eyes suddenly opened, and I blinked to escape the strong light invading my eyes, I groaned and my eyes pelt adjusted to the light, and I opened my eyes up. “You are awake,” a foreign voice said, and I quickly opened my eyes. I wasn't in a room I was familiar with, so I looked about and discovered I was inside the clinic. I suddenly remembered that I had lost consciousness under the waterfall and gasped; I instantly clutched my stomach, hoping that nothing had happened to my child; I would never forgive myself if anything had happened to my child. “Your baby is fine, the fetus is growing normally,” the odd person stated, and I looked at her with suspicion. “I am the pack doctor; I looked after you when Alpha Andrew brought you to the Pack clinic,” she explained, and I nodded. “You said my baby is fine?”I questioned, choking on my tears; for a brief moment, I was terrified that I would lose my source of happiness forever; my hands shook and I sighed. “Yes, very heal

    Athena’s POVDays have gone since I began living in the pack, and each day has passed with monotony; I sighed and stood up from my bed when I heard a knock on the door; I walked to the door, and there stood Maya in the doorway. “Maya,” I said with a smile, and she laughed. “Good morning, and how was your night?” She requested, and I moved out of the way, so she could enter the room. “It was fantastic; how was yours?” I inquired, and she removed the bedsheet from the mattress, folding it in the basket she had brought with her, and chose to spread a new one. “It was fine as usual,” she said, spreading a new bedsheet. “You know I can do these little things on my own,” I remarked, and Maya laughed.“It is my responsibility to look after your affairs,” Maya responded, and I sighed.“I am tired and bored all the time. I need to do something,” I replied, and Maya grumbled. “You should meet with Alpha Andrew; he'll definitely figure out something you can do,” Maya said, and I nodded.“T

    Daniel’s POVMy hands shook with rage as beta Carl approached me, he stopped midway when he sensed the hatred simmering through me and at any time, I could lose it and shift into my wolf, slaying several of them out of anger. “Alpha Daniel” Beta Carl called, gently bowing his head to indicate respect, and I scoffed and turned away from him. The patience in me is dwindling with each passing day, and I am so disappointed in them for not doing what I want the most. “And you returned empty-handed once more! Is she really that difficult to find? A helpless pregnant woman!”I yelled at him, hitting my hand on my table, and the sound echoed across the room. I could have gone out the last time to look for her, but the Pack's elders stopped me.“We traced the blood we found the other day, alpha, and it led to the middle of nowhere in the forest; I'm not sure if she's still alive; she could have been killed in the woods,” Beta Carl replied, and I snarled, advancing quickly, wrapping my hands t

    Athena’s POV The pups' laughter filled the air, and I smiled and looked over at them, dreaming about holding my baby and watching him grow so that he could laugh like this with me. I've had numerous dreams about my kid being faceless, and I can't wait to hold him in my arms and see his face. I was collecting some herbs from the garden when I heard footsteps approaching and turned to see Alice, who had refused to let me call her doctor. Alice had grown to be a friend I could trust in the pack. “You shouldn't bend too much,” she said in a motherly tone, and I laughed. “Are you scared for the pup?” I inquired, chuckling.“I am a doctor, remember, when people see love when they look into each other's eyes, I see a cataract,” she remarked, and I burst out laughing. “Thank the goddess, I'm not a doctor and can be swayed by such things.” I chuckled and took up the bowl in which I was collecting the herbs. “How has your study gone so far?” Alice inquired, and I sighed.“I'm fine, I'm tr

He had accidentally struck me with the rough edge of the sword, and I had fallen to the floor. “It's fine,” I said as I stood up and dusted my shirt. “No, I'll take you to the Pack doctor,” Andrew responded, and I laughed briefly. Andrew and I have been practicing sword fights for a long now, and it's always fun. I've learned to like having such fun with him, and he always makes time to play with me.“I am fine, seriously” I explained while I was dropping the sword I was holding with one of the guards. “No, I insist,” he responded, and I had no choice but to follow him to the Pack clinic. Alice grinned as soon as she saw me enter the clinic with Andrew. “Alpha! Lady Athena!”Alice mentioned being courteous to us.“She fell while we were having a sword fight; I want to make sure she's okay,” Andrew added, and Alice nodded. Before she could respond, we noticed Beta Royce joining us. “We need to talk alpha

I put my hand around his neck, and he drew me up, my legs dangling around his waist.He gently pushed me against the wall and kissed me deeper until we heard a clearing of the throat, then he dropped me down, and I covered my face with my hair, embarrassed. “Alpha!” I heard Beta Royce's voice and saw the disapproving expression on his face that he was trying so hard to disguise.“What exactly is it, Royce?”Andrew inquired, his tone almost hostile. “We need to see something at the border,” Beta Royce stated, and Andrew sighed, he must be upset about the cut-happy moments. “We'll talk later,” he replied, and I nodded. I watched him walk away with Beta Royce, and as soon as he did, I exhaled the air I hadn't realized I was holding in. I returned to my room and fell on the bed, thinking abou

I breathed out a sigh of fresh air, wiping away the moisture on my foreheads, I took the small bowl I had collected some herbs in, and I looked up, I noticed Alice approaching me.“Athena,” she said with a delightful smile, and her smile was contagious, as I smiled back.“What exactly are you doing here? The mud is moist,” I said, and she chuckled as she walked deeper into the humid earth to meet me; her booth was completely coated in clay. “There is no one to examine in the clinic, so I decided to join you; I'm lonely, but I'm not sure if you are. However, we also make good company, so I decided to join you, Maya told me where you were, and I saw you on my way here.”Alice replied, and I laughed, lolling my head back. “I'm finished cutting the herbs I need; I'll just give them to Maya to wash down for me,” I said, and Alice nodded, pulling ou

My pulse raced faster, hoping he wouldn't attack me out of rage. “Yes, I am” I answered while swallowing growing lumps in my throat. “How come you are just telling me about it?”He inquired, his brow furrowed, and he appeared betrayed. Betrayed by me, remorse filled my lungs as I methodically planned my next words. “Well, I was terrified. I'm not sure how you'll react, and I'm not sure whether you want me to abort my pups…" He shut me off.“Pups?” he inquired.“Yes, pups, but I have grown to adore this pack, and I adore you. I decided to tell you because it would hurt more if you found out from someone else,” I murmured quietly, my gaze fixated on my legs since I was too afraid to look up.“You should have told me about it,” Andrew said calmly and sighed, I slowly lifted my head up to look at his face, his face was filled with worry and I swall

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.

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.
