Chapter 135

It 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
Chapter 139LeviI had just sat down with a mug of coffee and a light dinner. My goal was to go over my paperwork and grade some papers before heading back to my room and going to bed. Although I was the principal of the children's school, I also filled in as a substitute teacher, taught a couple of classes myself, and ran the school. If I found myself complete for the day, I would wander the halls and see if any of the other teachers needed assistance.Tonight, though, I had quizzes for the two classes I had taught today. I was also waiting for the other test results for a few students. With some of our students struggling, they were to be tested every month to gauge their retention of the material. Just as I was going to boot up my laptop to check my email, I heard a frantic call to the conference room. I dropped everything on my desk and ran to the conference room. I guess I wasn’t the only one, as Alec and I hit the do
Chapter 140Alec.Shortly after the meeting broke up, I was asked to come to Gabi’s office. I hated the tone my sister requested, or more like ordered me to her office.‘Come to my office’ She linked me before blocking out any other responses. I was riled up and I couldn’t get myself sorted out. I knew a lot of it had to do with missing my mate. My pregnant mate. All I had wanted was to pamper her the way my twin brothers got to pamper their mates. I was mad at the world because of this. Mad at Athea and her entire lineage. She was his daughter. If it wasn’t for him, then I would have her with me right now.As I entered the office, Gabi was writing furiously, not even noticing that I was in her presence.“Ummm, did you want to see me or…” I trailed off, startling her a little.“Oh Sorry. Yeah, give me a minute.” She said befor
Chapter 140.2AtheaI don’t know how long I spent sitting Antony’s lap. He just held me and allowed me to cry. I hadn’t even realized that we came to the place I had told everyone where I had started to run after Veda. When Alec asked if this was the correct location, I had to rebalance myself. I look around I nodded my head as I took in a deep breath. Breathing in I could smell the obvious forest, a few several types of animals and… the faint but ever smell of spice and Evergreen. Not the kind that forms the trees to put in cars but like freshly cut Christmas trees. I had gone occasionally to the human towns where during the winter months they would have hundreds of freshly cut trees. The smell was always so heavenly. And so, Veda.I climbed off Antony and fixed my clothes before climbing out of the vehicle. I was not disillusioned that Antony and mine cuddle fest on the way down here was by any means us disregarding our previous fight. Antony was sti
Chapter 141 Antony Traveling down to King Lynol’s territory was tense and I had yet to put my anger aside. I understood what Gabi had been saying but I was still unsure. I didn’t quite understand how I could have two mates, I felt nothing being in her home or territory. Even Aragon had gone quiet neither confirming nor denying the claim. To him we only had Athea, and it was obvious where we ranked with her. Yet, the moment that she began to cry and tell us about her upbringing I wanted to tear that worthless piece of shit father she had limb for limb. I had to hold her, if not for her but for Aragon and me. We really needed to calm ourselves before we lost our cool. During our time in the Fae kingdom, I was surprised at how calm and serene it had felt. That was until Rowan had joined us. The way he was glaring daggers at my girl had me wanting to strongly punch the fuckers lights out. But King Lynol only looked at her confusedly. He had questions and could tell they were star
Sam I was happy just to sit back and relax as Gabi did her thing with the King. They both talked about the magick and where exactly they would relocate their small little Village. I just smiled with pride as I watched her. Her presence was astounding, she sat there and commanded the room. It is hard to even remember a few months ago just meeting her and finding out she was only seventeen. 17?! My mate was only eighteen but commanded this room of primarily alpha males and otherworldly powerful creations like she was the Goddess herself. ‘Alpha?!’ I heard ringing through my head with the edge of fear and anxiety. ‘What is it, Jacoby? I am in a meeting at the moment.’ I replied to him. ‘Sir, attacks on the northern border. Please come quickly, there is more than we have previously seen here.’ Jacoby replied. “Gabi, sweetie, I have to go. But I need to take some of the guys with me.” I whispered into her ear and kissed my mark on her neck. I loved the goosebumps that shot down her nec
