Athena’s POV I hurriedly grabbed something to wear and found I couldn't walk properly, I watched alpha Daniel getting closer to me and this time he was entirely clad, the notion of shifting back to our human form and being completely nude and being in such close proximity made me feel extremely uneasy. I hurriedly got away from him and decided to go to the pack clinic to take care of my health. I limped to the clinic and found the pack nurse busy with several patients. "What happened to your legs?" she inquired as she averted her sight from the patient she was tending to. “It's nothing serious, just some scratches,” I said, and she nodded gently holding my legs to see the extent of my injuries, “I will be right back to treat you, go to that room, I will join you as soon as I am done,” she said, pointing at a door and I nodded, watching her disappear into one of the doors. I proceeded to the room she had asked me to wait in and sat on the bed, feeling somewhat relaxed. I sigh
Andrew’s POV I grinned as I walked around the pack, pleased with the state of things; the pack isn't back to its former splendor, but there has been a significant improvement thanks to Edna, whom I can't thank enough. I expected she would stop talking to me and refuse to help the pack after I left her in my office the last time because I didn't want to complicate our relationship any further. Edna isn't the person I want; I only want Athena, and I will do all in my power to get her. I came to a halt when I spotted Edna; the breeze was blowing her sundress, and she had to hold the dress tightly because the dress was slitted at the top way above her knee level. "Alpha Andrew," she said as she was inches away from me. "Edna, I wasn't expecting to see you" I murmured, and she chuckled, her eyes darting over the field where we were standing. "Yeah, I checked your office, and you weren't there, so I came down here and my guess was correct, you were here for some sightseeing," she
Daniel’s POV I was working on some papers in my office when I heard a knock on the door. I dropped the file in my hand and whispered come in. The door was opened, and Beta Carl entered with another file in his hand. "Good morning, alpha," he murmured, and I nodded, taking the file from him. "How was your night?"I inquired, and he nodded slightly. "It was all right. I completed all you requested. I was able to acquire a small amount of information that isn't much help"Beta Carl mentioned something that piqued my interest. "What did you find, any information on Andrea?"I inquired about her. I wanted to be ahead of the game, and it's a little disconcerting that I haven't heard anything about her and her brother after the war, I know they are not dead and they are probably somewhere. "I was only able to find out about Lucas her brother, he had formed his little pack, he gathered rogues and trained to offer them protection and that way they became part of his pack, he had been d
Daniel’s POV "Are you sure you want to hear mine and Andrew's story?"I inquired, and she eagerly nodded. I couldn't say no to her; for the first time since Athena returned to the pack with me, she wanted to have a conversation, even if it was not about us; it made me happy. "We can't talk here, so let's go to my chambers," I murmured, and she arched her brow at me, curiosity was eating her up and she had no choice but to follow me. We entered my chambers together, and I noticed Athena looking around, it had been a while since she had stepped foot in my chamber, and it wasn't a good memory, I had no idea why I was being mean to her, maybe because she was chosen to be a breeder, or perhaps I was just frustrated because I was cursed never to have a mate. "Andrew is a few months older than me; my father had a one-night stand with his mother before meeting my mother. My father refused to accept his pregnancy at first, fearing it would ruin his image; nevertheless, my mother forced hi
Andrea’s POV I entered the grand hall and noticed that the chandelier was hung low; I looked around and wondered why the hall had been adorned in this manner; the servants were scurrying about, and Alpha Gideon was standing close to his throne with a file in his hand. I walked quickly to meet him, and he raised his head to see me, cleared his throat, and I had the most seductive smile on my face ever, "Alpha Gideon." "Andrea, what is it that brought you here?"I came closer as he asked, and he immediately closed the file he was carrying and dropped it beside him. "I was bored and decided to pay a visit to the love of my life. I can leave if you are too busy though” I said and he chuckled "I can hardly be busy for you, my lady," he replied, and I stepped in closer, kissed him, and slowly pathed my lips for him. We heard a throat clearing and I stepped away from him; Alpha Gideon's countenance indicated he wasn't pleased with the sudden interruption. “Alpha!” Gamma Thomas smil
Andrea's POV It had been days since my encounter with gamma Thomas and I hadn't heard anything from him; I was afraid he wouldn't fall for my tricks and end up telling alpha Gideon, which would eventually ruin all of my plans; my heart was racing, and I decided to check on alpha Gideon, who hadn't checked on me either for the past few days. I arrived at his chamber and tapped on the door. I heard his feeble voice and pushed the door open, entering the room. He was sitting on the bed with a file in his hand, which he dropped beside him and raised his head to see me. He had a slight smile on his face as his eyes wandered around me; he didn't look as happy as he usually does when he sees me, and I became concerned; what if he's just sleepy or doesn't want to see me? I swiftly zipped down my gown, took it off, and came closer to him,"What are you doing?" He inquired, his brow furrowed at me. "You haven't asked of me in a few days, and I had missed you so much, I couldn't breathe
Lucas’s POV Andrea is certainly hiding something from me, and I can't figure out what it is. I groaned, rubbing my palm all over my head, exhausted; I need to figure out how to go about it, and I can't stay here feeling useless. I walked out of my room with the intention of walking around the pack to get some fresh air, but my steps came to a halt when I noticed Alpha Gideon standing nearby; I want to be on his good side so that he doesn't suspect my motives, and I had been giving him the cold shoulder before learning about Andrea's plan. I was walking closer to him to exchange greetings when I saw he was exchanging hushed tones with someone, I peered to look at the person, and it was one of the servants, and they seemed as if they didn't want to be found. I became skeptical because I knew alpha Gideon couldn't be too good to be true; he wouldn't be able to manage such a large pack with so many armies if he was a fool who could easily fall for any woman; he might know who we are a
Lucas’s POV My legs failed me as I raced out of the room, barely managing to lock the door and walk briskly to my room, perhaps certain secrets are not meant to be revealed and this has shown alpha Gideon is not what he appears to be. "Please, please save me!"Her voice rang in my thoughts as I walked back to my chamber, wondering who the lady could have been. She was neither dead nor living, and she appeared to desire to be saved, no! She must be rescued. How can Alpha Gideon be so cruel as to imprison someone who is half-dead? What had happened to her? Her eyes seemed lifeless, her hands feeble, and she could hardly stand on her own. How did she get to that point, and why is Alpha Gideon isolating her from the rest of the world when he could simply kill her and rescue her from the pain she is subjected to, countless thoughts raced through my mind at once, and I felt...hopeless. The scene was terrifying, and I was suddenly afraid for Andrea, despite everything she was doing.
