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
Athena’s POV“Oh my! Are you all right?”Andrew asked abruptly, and I laughed. 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
Athena’s POVI was completely engrossed at the moment as Andrew kissed me with such passion and love that I had never felt before. Daniel never kissed me, and when he does, it's out of obligation. 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
Athena’s POVLife in the pack has been so beautiful that I can go days without thinking about Daniel and his ever-frowning and demeaning face. 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
Athena’s POV“You are pregnant?”Andrew inquired, his eyes wide with surprise, and he immediately jumped up, his hands trembling frantically. 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
Athena's POVThe night was filled with nightmares, I couldn't sleep and was tossing and turning all over the bed, but I wasn't at all comfortable, the tears from the night before had dried on my face. I got out of bed, and my hair was like a bird's nest.I looked in the mirror and saw a shadow of myself, so I sniffed and went to the bathroom to make myself look more presentable than I am right now. Andrew has often knocked on my door, requesting a meeting with me, which I have politely declined; he has lied to me and deceived me, all the while unaware that he has a woman with whom he wishes to spend the rest of his life. I didn't feel this bad when Daniel treated me like crap, but it hurts much more when Andrew abused my confidence. I always knew Daniel didn't want me, so maybe that's why it hurt less, but this? I can't take it anymore; every fiber in my veins screams treachery, and I wash my body severely to express how I feel.My thoughts were drawn to Alice, and a sense of betray
