VINCENT
For the rest of the day, I had remained at the door and didn't speak with anyone. I wanted to not push my limits even more. Even the Goddess left me alone this time. She didn't even come down for food. "Hey man, you're good to go." A warrior had said as he replaced my position. I quickly darted away back to my apartment so that I can make some food real quick for Athena. I knew I was the last person she wanted to see but I wasn't going to miss a second of seeing her. I put a sandwich and lemonade in my jacket hole that I had created before I made my way over to the club. It was dark and she had to be there by now. I waited by the door as I saw the girls being led into the club. She walked in but her head was hanging low. I didn't think too much of it until I saw why. I waited an hour or so until I noticed it had started getting slow and she was taking a small bre
ATHENAI relaxed in my bed just trying not to think of anything. I wanted to suffer in silence at this point. If no one was going to do anything then I will. I was going to lower my morals in order to find some freedom back. Because here I was a week in just completely broken. My face was in pain. My ribs were broken and bruised. I was going to play the sexy little stripper until I am healed. I hadn't seen Vincent for a week after I last saw him. Maybe he gave up as much as I have. But it seems every time I had healed there was someone else beating my ass. I didn't know how much longer I could take it but I had to. But there was one night in particular. That was tonight. It has been two weeks since I've last seen Vincent. I was lured into a room with the other dancers and they took it out on me this time. I didn't fight back because I was already hurt from yesterday's beating. My wolf to
VINCEI played the scene out over and over in my head. Seeing the look on Athena's face. It was betrayal. It was her plan but she also didn't know that this was happening behind her back. I didn't want her to know. It would make things unreal and I didn't want her to stress everything out. Her face was covered in bruises and dried blood. Her clothes were also torn. She was skinny and tired. I feel like I screwed up really bad when she left. Because who knew if I was ever going to see her again. The Goddess was satisfied. She thinks she's won the war. "I almost feel bad for her." She had gotten out of the bed and started to dress. "It's not funny. This isn't happening again." I said as I dressed. "Oh please, you weren't complaining at all. Now, why don't you come back." She came from behind me and tried to hug me. But all I did was move away. "Where do you think you're going?" She asked.
2 WEEKS LATER...I've been in my wolf form for a few weeks now and honestly, I was enjoying it. I just had to clean myself rarely. I hunt for all my food and never have to worry about anyone hurting me. I didn't trust anyone at this point but the nights where I sleep in a tree and don't wake up with my back hurting. If this wasn't the life then I don't why I have done it a long time ago. My thoughts always revert back to the men and my kids but they are better without me as I keep reminding myself. They think they can save me but I am cursed for life. Everything I touch will surely rot to the ground and there is nothing that I can do about it then live my life in solidarity. I always move to a different city each day to try not to disturb anyone else's territory. It was bound to happen and we all know that I can't fight to save a damn life. Or my life. I ended up North of Arkansas. Far f
I turned around to see him. "Drew, it's you." I ran into his arms and hugged him. "You two know each other?" Nathan had asked. "Drew went searching for his mom and came across basically starving onto my farm." We all know the Moon Goddess. But people don't know of the Ancient Luna. Vanessa Steele. She's a hybrid and has just as much power as the Moon Goddess. Probably more. Her chosen mate tried to kill her and it was just a long road of drama. "Did you ever find her?" He looked at me and sighed. "Yeah, we did. She was hidden in a cabin with my baby sister. She is back now at the kingdom but I am here just visiting. Now, what are you doing here?" I looked at him and just broke down. He held me into his arms as I came undone. Until I ran out of tears. "Does someone have a drink somewhere? I think it's time for a story around the campfire." I quickly ate and was handed some proper clothing. Drew never left my side. We went down to see every
Morning came by really soon and Drew was already up and getting ready for the day. I knew today my stomach was going to be in knots of the anticipation of it. But I know I had people who were going to respect my effort if I did bring her there. I said my goodbyes to Nathan and his pack and hopped in Drew's vehicle as we made our way to his kingdom. I mean it can only go up from here, right? " So tell me, are you going to forgive your mate for going behind your back?" He asked me. But that was a question I wasn't even sure of. The only thing I wanted right now was my daughter and sister. I mean it's like no matter how hard I try to trust Vincent something always happens. That I couldn't just be happy and stick with it. I wanted more and that was my issue. "Would you?" I rested my head on the seat and looked at him. Drew took a glimpse at me and back to the road. "If you would have asked me a long time ago then I'd say no. But I watched my
Apart of me feels for her. She chose her first child over her mate and that was respectable but she never got over the hurt. She did take it out on us. "What did you do in order to make her upset?" She asked me. Which is a long story full of more questions. "She asked me to basically run her kingdom with her. Which meant I had to leave my family and mate in order to do so. She was so power-hungry and had that mean girl look and it's just not me. Luna, I am not of importance. I was a stripper in the Kangston pack with no real meaning. I had no important role and now I am one of the most hated people who got her ass beat every day while my mate was fucking the Goddess and planning behind my back. There is no good outcome for me but I can at least try to make things less suckish." I finally took a deep breath knowing I said it all without stopping. I plopped down on the chair and buried my face in my hands. It went silent and Drew was rubbin
We took a break while I got settled in. I just laid there and looked up at the roof and processed everything that has happened. Like too much is happening all at once and there was no escape from reality. Somedays I wish I was a stupid human all day with a stupid 9-5 job with no worries but trying to make ends meet. Instead, I am dealing with some of the most dangerous supernatural characters. A knock on the door awoke me from my daydreams once again. “Hey, dinner is about to be ready. Or do you prefer a rabbit?” I couldn’t help but laugh at him. “As long as it is a vegan rabbit.” I lifted myself out of bed and followed him out. He led me into a dining room and I am guessing this is his entire family. They all stopped to look at me. “So you met my mom and Alec. This is Alias, my dad. There is Mika, Ariel, and the twins are Xavier and Xander. Then probably someone you’d like to meet. This is Max, my grandfather. I looked at him and he looked my age. He
After our night sins, we headed back to the packhouse where everyone was now asleep. And I was needing a well-needed shower. Probably had twigs in my hair at this point. I stood in the steaming hot shower just processing again. Sex was great but I don’t think anything tops being with Vince. He was aggressive. The way his hand wrapped around my throat. Or the way he throws me around in the position he wants me in without changing his tone. He had so much anger and when he took it out on me it made things so much better. Or the way he simply bites down on my shoulder. I felt a sharp pain on my shoulder at that second. But when I finally opened my eyes there was Vince right there. Standing in the shower with me and well he was mad as hell. “Tell me why I am always finding another man's scent on you.” His hand found the front of my throat as he scratched his K9s on my skin causing me to wince. “Does it piss you off?” I asked
