Andrea‘s POV Enraged, I hurried back into my room; what does he think of me? After I let him kiss me, suck my breast, and touch me everywhere, despite the fact that his mere presence repulsed me, he told me I shouldn't have asked about such a contentious topic. I look in the mirror and realize that my red lipstick has smudged all over my face, most likely from kissing; I grab a moist tissue paper and slowly wipe it away. I sighed slowly and hoped that if I had overreacted, he wouldn't believe I had other motivations for asking him such a question. I immediately stopped cleaning my face and slammed my palm angrily on the desk, I shouldn't have let my emotions get the best of me, I thought about what to do and considered going back to see him and apologizing for the way I reacted. I sighed and slumped my hands beside me. I was walking back to him when I heard a knock on the door. I wrinkled my brows and opened the door to see Alpha Gideon standing there. His face was guilty, and
Daniel’s POV "The eastern border wall appears to be collapsing soon, and I believe it requires immediate intervention," Beta Carl stated. I was currently at a meeting with my council members about the pack's difficulties. "What do you think we should do?"I inquired, tapping my chair gently. "I believe we should demolish and rebuild the wall." Beta Carl responded. "I don't think that's a good idea, Alpha; if we do that, the other sides will be affected, and we'll have to destroy the entire border wall and rebuild it again."One of the elders, Gabriel, stated. “But we can’t possibly let it be, if the enemies try to attack, that wall will be the easiest way to get to the pack” Beta Carl argued “I am not saying we should let it be, we could just patch the wall and let him be so that it won’t affect other sides” Gabriel insisted. "That won't do; it's better to break down the entire wall and rebuild it." beta Carl stated "What if the enemies find out, that will give them th
Andrew’s POV I sighed and dropped the journal in my palm; with Edna's assistance and some encouraging words, I was able to read a few more pages, and it was strange how I felt an instant connection to my father. It appears he was misunderstood and wanted to be heard, so he kept this journal; however, the entry was a little confusing. My father will repeatedly emphasize how hard he worked to depose the previous alpha king before becoming one. Edna had been away from the pack for more than a week for business reasons, and I hadn't been able to read another page since she departed, I was caught on the page we read together, and all I could do was go back and read it again. I stepped outside my room, feeling fatigued; I decided to take a walk around the pack in the hopes of seeing my pack members; my eyes wandered around, and I saw a lot of work going on, the building of the pack, and I was relieved. I considered never having war in my pack again; I would rather go to the enemy p
Athena’s POV The air was chilly, so I wrapped Evan up to keep him warm. I sighed and went to the restroom, looking at my bruised body, the training session I went through yesterday was hectic, and I got injured a lot, but it was worth it, I want to prepare enough so that even if Andrea beats me, I won't feel bad. I cleansed the remainder of my body and returned to my room, where I wore something to cover up my body and bruises, knowing that if Alpha Daniel was aware of my injuries, he would not be thrilled to see my body in this state, and I don't want to be in a scenario where he warns my fellow warriors, and they begin to ease up on me. I decided to go down and get some snacks to eat because it was my resting hour and I had nothing important to do. I unlocked the door to try to get out when I spotted Alpha Daniel's hand in the air, he was probably ready to knock on the door, so the smile on my face vanished and I furrowed my brows. "Alpha Daniel," I called, and he curtly nodded
Lucas’s POV I tried to grasp what Andrea was trying to do, but no matter how I put it together, it didn't feel right; she was far too ambitious for me. This was meant to be my title, but she is taking it too personally, and I began to have my own concerns, what is Andrea up to, she is attempting to engage Alpha Gideon more like attempting to exploit him, and she has no idea how intelligent the man might be. To have a thriving pack like the one he has now, he must be incredibly intelligent and know what he is doing. I groaned, rubbing my eyes, I've been so restless trying to process everything, but I can't. I haven't been able to return to the pack and meet the few individuals who live on the land, and who knows if I will meet them if I go back; they are all rogues, and rogues like to flee when things don't go their way. I suddenly remembered Andrea using an elixir on me and how stupid I was not to realize she must be up to something. I don't know, Andrea isn't fighting for me
Andrea’s POV The day was quickly coming to an end, leaving me thinking about what I had done for the majority of the day. I sighed and walked out of my room, feeling fatigued despite the fact that I had done very little. I finally felt whole once Lucas swore his devotion to me; Lucas has always been a weak man, and manipulating him will be the simplest thing to do; my heart leaped with glee when I noticed his curiosity as I explained my plans to him. He is the ideal person to assist me in achieving my objectives, and when I do, I will determine what to do with him, but for the time being, I don't want to worry about anything but what I am doing. I walked out of my room and down to the wide field where the pack's members were busy going about their day; they bowed their heads slightly when they saw me, and I love how they respect me; my presence alone compels respect, and it's only appropriate if I become the alpha King. When I noticed Alpha Gideon chatting with some of his counc
Andrea’s POV The room was dark, barely illuminated by the candles, alpha Gideon was laying beside me and our eyes were locked, both clouded with lust. I was barely wearing anything that covered my body and I knew his hands were itching to touch me, he is a man of principles and I need to break that barrier. I moved closer to him and slowly drew him in for a kiss, I opened my mouth wider as our tongues swirled and danced around each other, he groans softly, and oddly, his groan traveled down between my legs He suddenly stopped the kiss and trailed his lips down my chin to my neck, I arched my back to give him a full view of my body, he suddenly held my slimy nightwear and tore it down revealing my erected breasts to him. I saw the smile creep on his face and he bent his head, nibbling on my left breast while his hand slowly massaged the other, I bit my lips trying to hold my moans. He is good at what he is doing and as his tongue kept on flickering around my nipples, I felt a poo
Athena’s POV I smirked, knowing I was fully immersed in the game, as my opponent spit out blood and wiped his face with the back of his hand, he growled at me, and I growled back. I was becoming better at it, and I was enjoying the maneuvers I had mastered; it had taken a lot of bruises, but I was getting there; the new gamma and our chief commander Alfred had organized a combat, in which we would fight our opponents with our bare hands and wolf forms. I'd never been happier to participate in an activity like this before; I had been pounding him for so long that I could sense his rage growing deep inside him. He growled loudly, and I heard the breaking of his bones; he was clearly tired of fighting me in human form, and I was ready to take him down as well, so we could be done with this once and for all. "Shift! Shift! Shift! Shift!"The other warriors around me began chanting, ready for me to shift into my wolf form and attack him, but I didn't want to shift yet; I wanted to fig
Athena’s POV It’s been a month since the death of Andrea and Lucas, and it still felt unreal, this past month has been the happiest I have been in my life. 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. Beta Carl stretched his hand and I slowly placed m
Athena’s POVI watched as Lucas gulped for air while struggling to stay alive, he died and Andrea screamed and ran over to his dead body. 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. I suddenly rememb
