Chapter 131.3AtheaLittle chipmunk? He seriously called me a chubby little forest creature. I so wanted to hurt him. What little heat that I had flowing downwards quickly evaporated at that moment as I could no longer focus on the pleasure. He was driving into me but he thought that I was fat.“Athea?” Antony asked, pulling away from his assault on my neck.“Did you seriously just call me fat?” I asked him, astonished.“What? NO! HELL, NO?! Baby, I would never call you or any woman fat. Do you not know who my sister is? She would kill me.” He said, completely horrified, and I had heard rumors of his sister before she went all royal. She used to put fear in anyone, so I could only imagine what she would do to one of her brothers had they disrespected another woman. Giggling, I looked back at him, envisioning him getting his ass kicked by his little sister.“You laugh but my brothe
Chapter 132Athea.It had been almost two whole weeks since the beginning of the academy and I was already running. Running for my life and running away from one of my mates. Antony showed me that week we were together; love, compassion, and the loyalty and respect of a mate. He didn’t have to hide our bond, but because I wasn’t ready, he essentially lied to his family. For me. But I couldn’t even tell him the truth, I felt like the worst mate in the world. I didn’t deserve Antony or Veda. I am the reason Veda was going through hell because of me.As Cybil ran towards our pack, I made the decision to free Veda of our bond. If I ever crossed Antony again, I would officially reject him as well. It was only right. Maybe they would finally get someone that was deserving of their love. Maybe Veda and Antony would connect and they could be happy with one another. But I wouldn’t be a part of that. Right at that moment,
Chapter 133Antony.(4 days prior)The meeting took longer than expected. Again, we were at a stalemate on how to effectively get those girls out. Alec was getting angrier and angrier as we let more days go by. The shit he pulled with Athea was proof of that. Whenever he thought I wasn’t watching him, he glared at her like she kicked his puppy. I was dying myself not being able to shout out that I had finally found my mate. But I respected the hell out of her and wanted her to feel comfortable with me. She had a shitload of baggage with her father and knew that shit wasn’t right there.As days went by, I could tell that she was creating distance. I had a plan to talk to her about that tonight when I had gotten the notice that we had this damn meeting. I had been searching and digging through the channels of the internet. Hell, I had even been hacking into the local government to attempt to see the blueprints of the property
Chapter 134 Athea The last thing that I remembered was passing through the gates and demanding to speak to Antony. Then my entire world went dark. My dream world was nothing but the horrors that were inflicted by my father, and the horrors that Veda had gone through or was still going through. I woke with a gasp when I heard the slamming of a door. Waking up, I began to have a panic attack. Was it all a dream? No, no, no. I escaped. I ran. I ran back to Antony. Why am I waking up back in the dungeon? I was cuffed to a chair in the middle of a dark and damped cell with silver cuffs. I couldn’t see any better than a human in the place. Even my sense of smell was limited as all I could smell was the dirt and the musky smell of the confined area, never getting fresh air. The only different thing was the distinct metallic scent of blood. My father’s cells had a permanent stench of blood like it had seeped into the walls and everything within the room. But for some reason, this cell smell
Chapter 135LeviIt didn’t take long for Reign and me to make it to the pack hospital. I had already called ahead to have Mari meet us. She was the first face I saw as I approached the hospital.“Holy. GET ME A GURNY!” Mari yelled into the emergency department as she saw me carrying a very limp Athea. “Oh, sweet child. What the hell happened to her?” Mari asked as I laid Athea down on the bed that her staff had brought out as I had just hit the door.“She stumbled to the gate looking like this. But she has been starving herself for several days, as well as refusing hydration.” I told her. Mari looked from me to Reign.“I tried to do what I could medically but she wouldn’t comply. I have no idea the extent of her injuries. But I would have to say that she was suffering from a serious concussion as she thought that we were on her father's land and took a while to register that
Chapter 136AntonyI don’t know how long, I just sat there holding Athea’s hand. The medical staff have all been in every few hours checking her vitals, her IVs, and the wounds that she currently has bandaged. Yet it wasn’t just the medical staff that trickled into her room. As the day gave way to night, the first of my large family began to come in, starting with my father.“I heard what happened. How is she doing?” He asked me.“I don’t know yet. Mari said she would make a full recovery. She looks like hell though.” I told him, staring at Athea. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her, for fear she would wake up and I would miss it. Miss her.“She will make it through, have faith. But the pressing problem is, we don’t know if we can fully trust her after all that she has done.” My father said. Still, I couldn’t meet his gaze as my sole focus was on my swe
Chapter 137AntonyI couldn’t believe her. I knew when we had gotten together that she had only ever been with a woman but for her to risk her life for one. What the hell? She was even willing to throw my ass under the bus at first. Whether or not she went through with the plan, she still hatched it and still planned to execute it. Hell, who knows the information she could have attained had Alec not overstepped his brotherly duties.I was beyond pissed at this moment. But if I had to admit it to myself, I was more hurt than anything else. She chose someone over her fated. I was to be her soul mate. The only one made just for her. And here she has chosen another and is willing to die to protect her. I felt rejected and inadequate. But all of these… feelings were getting to me and all coming out in the form of anger.Deciding to be semi-productive about these feelings, I quickly shifted and ran a perimeter check doing the on
Chapter 138Antony“Whooping your ass,” my sister said with her cocky grin. Had to hand it to the girl. She did do so, all while wearing the same clothes she had been wearing earlier. Same old and tattered white V-neck t-shirt, black bra, and worn blue jeans with the same shredded knees. And not a drop of sweat marring her pretty face.“Sis, you really need to buy some new clothes. What the hell are you doing stalking around this place wearing that damn see-through shirt?” I asked him to try to catch her off guard on something.“Well, I was supposed to be at the dungeons when we were redirected to the hospital. I haven’t yet been home to change. So, suck it.” She said, looking up and down her outfit and then back to me.“I take it you shredded your clothes and will need to return back to your room to change before you can return back to the hospital to be with your mate.” She
SaveniaAfter Roman had left my cell, it was approximately 30 minutes later that I heard the first set of explosions going off above us. The other girls in the cells began to look up in their half-dazed expressions to look around. The Alpha was still in my cell with me, but Lucy and I were still connected magically. When she appeared in the corner of my room and nodded, I knew it was go time.
CainFive minutes later we were all standing in the middle of the town square. All teams were already divided into their teams and ready for the portals to open and begin the raid. There were even larger groups that took to
CainThe moment that the plans were made Abel and I pulled Remmie and Reign down to where the other women, children, and any other nonfighters were being locked down. We were not going to trust that they were going to go on their own.
LucyAfter hearing Ian’s warning about the horrors that were being planned for us, I hurried to make adjustments. When I talked to the different cliques here in the cage, I told them all that I wanted to have a meeting. I wasn’t received very well at all. Most of the angrier girls barked their frustrations at me.
RomanBefore I went to work, I made a quick detour over to Lucy. I needed to confirm with her what she had heard and what the plan for moving forward was. I could always call and confirm with Levi but knowing him he was already gearing up and preparing to infiltrate the pack. If he knew that Lucy was in danger there would be nothing anyone could do to stop Levi or me, for that matter, from getting to her side and protecting her. She was ours for eternity now
GabiThe raid was happening weeks before we were going to break through. But with this new piece of information that Lucy had delivered had put our mission on deadline. And now it was now or never. Athea and Rowen had been extremely helpful with mapping out the underground.“No, if you turn right at that intersection should take you to the brothel floor. In all reality, the breeder dens are a few floors lower. They wanted to make sure the money makers were well and truly locked down. The breeders are 3 floors down. There is a back door out in the woods, and it is fairly easy to get to. It's a big black metal door. So it shouldn't be that hard to uncover it. If we watch after 10 pm we should be able to see several members leave.” Rowen stated and had to agree that would be the best-laid plan.“Okay, so we need to divide up our teams and designate our teams,” I told the group.“Celeste and I are going to rescue the children at the orphanages,” Adrik stated. “I will also designate a squa
IanI was pulled into the auditorium, or at least that is what it appeared to be. Like an old high school stage for plays, band concerts, concerts. At first, I was confused until I had seen some of the guys that I had made friends with when coming here. While I wouldn’t call this place right by any means, I still felt welcomed and accepted here. For the first time in a long time.Would I have willingly come here and taken this fucked up pledge? Well, maybe. But being forced into this position, I knew that I didn’t have a choice here. Either I took the pledge or I put myself as well as those girls in trouble. I also accepted this as what it was. I was for the first time in a long time being asked to join a pack. My family’s disgrace no longer affected my future, I could be a part of this pack and no one could take that away from me.After taking the pledge, some of the other guys invited me out to the local b
Gabi I just looked at Antony, then back to the door questioningly. “Oh, just you wait.” Antony said with a broad grin. “Okay, but I swear Antony, if you and your mate are wasting our time, I will be taking it fully out on you.” I told him only for him to give me a wink. After a few minutes, Athea came back walking to stand behind Antony. She had not been welcomed to the meeting due to her probation, but Antony seemed to think that she had something that pertained to the mission that we were currently attempting to work out. “My queen,” Athea started, bowing her head to me in respect. “I remembered something from my past and didn’t know if it was relevant or not, but then I started to really think about it and it just began to fester. I had to come and tell you.” She explained in a rushed breath. “When I was brought back to the packhouse to live with my father, I was not allowed to leave. Even
GabiDays had passed since Athea was sentenced and she had sat down with us. She honestly didn’t have much information to give. She did state that her father had multiple tunnels under his home leading to all sorts of directions. She only learnt this one after he had her taken to his cells to be tortured. She said the guards were not trained well and there had been a small faction of guards that were secretly hiding and going against the Alpha.Today was the first meeting of great minds. We were all going to be gathered to lay out the plans for the attack. Today Athea will be sitting it out as we are still learning if we can trust her. Instead she was supposed to be sitting back at her place creating a map of her father’s pack. Including the tunnel system that she knew of.“Okay everyone, I hope you all got something big to eat for breakfast as we will not be leaving here for a while. If you need to leave to use the facilities, please let someone know. Otherwise sit your asses down an
