ATHENA'S POV.

Tristan's lids fluttered open, and before I could look away, we locked eyes. Even if I still wanted to look away out of embarrassment, I couldn't.

I was captured by his eyes. His eyes were a striking blue, and had me stunned for about ten seconds straight.

Then he sat up, and noticed I was looking directly into his eyes. Then more embarrassment flushed my cheeks, and I immediately got rid of my mesmerized look by smiling. He raised a brow.

"I see you now. Black hair, blue eyes." I said, clearing my throat, and his jaw fell, before his lips widened into a broad smile.

"You do?" He asked, and I nodded.

"You look good." I added, and a little blush crept to my lips after saying that. I didn't remember ever complimenting someone.

He smiled, and tilted his head to look at me.

"That's nice coming from you." He replied, and ruffled my hair like I was a puppy. "Now you can feast your eyes on delicacies before eating them. Get ready. Let's see the elders." He said, and I got u

    ATHENA'S POV.The memory that flashed in my head was a very faint one. It also had with it, a familiar smell. The smell of home-baked bread. I remembered the barley field. I just couldn't remember me or anyone playing in it. Yes, the memory of the barley field was faint, but it brought with it, a kind of strong nostalgic feeling.The day I faintly remembered was probably lost in the countless days, and years that had zoomed past. Lost in a time I couldn't reach, nor go back to, lost in my sea of memories. I had too many hurtful memories and they had buried the happy ones. I got out of the car afterwards, and Tristan was standing in front of the barley field with his hands in his pockets. Wind blew his hair gently, and the way he closed his eyes made me know he was reminiscing a thousand memories. Too sad only him could remember them."There was a day you fell, and bled so hard. You weren't healing and we began to worry, not knowing you had been the one rubbing it impatiently. Not

    ATHENA'S POV.Kiss?My eyes fell to his lips, and I swallowed. "You want a kiss? That's your wish?" I asked, with a smile. For some reason, I didn't know why my heart felt tickly. Was it because I was about to kiss him?"Alright." I added, trying to conceal my expression, which was changing due to the restless heart-fluttering thoughts rushing through my mind. He looked at me with an amused smile, like he knew exactly what was going on and I smiled. It felt so weird to kiss him just like that, even though we were newlyweds. Anyways, I stood on tiptoes, raising my lips to his, with my heart beating drums and sticks. I held his arms for support and planted a kiss on his lips, and he smiled. "What?" I asked, standing properly once more."Nothing. Did your heart always beat this loud?" He asked, and my eyes widened, making him go crazy with laughter."That's not my heart! It's yours!" I shouted, pushing the blame back on him and he laughed. "Really? It's my heart? But the steady so

    TRISTAN'S POV.Who knew that playing a game meant for children would be fun and a little romantic?I had wondered if I'd be able to play hide and seek in the filthy, abandoned house, but it felt even more fun. I was going to deliberately scare Athena and delay in finding her, so she was going to come out first, and I woule be able to ask for a longer kiss. I smiled to myself, with my hands dug deep in my pockets."One." I counted, and smiled again. Her heart had been beating loud without control in the barley field. Was she already liking me? That fast? Well, it was probably because she was more sure of what she wanted after regaining her sight. "Two." I counted, slowly. Then I began to look around. Alpha Ghosts, my foot. The story had probably been to scare us from going into the ruined, old and dusty house. Everything in the living room was still intact and I doubted a fight between three Alphas could happen, and the house would still have a place as intact as that. The women mu

    ATHENA'S POV.The brown substance finally became clear to me. I knew what it is.Just immediately after I had called his name, Tristan burst in like he had been at my door, and I screamed, startled. I had not heard him coming. There were a couple more rooms before the one I entered. Didn't he check them?"What's wrong?" He asked, looking ready to fight. I ran to him, and held his hand before looking back at the bed. On it was blood. Dried blood. A really large amount of it, spreading in a disfigured circle on the bed. It had turned brown over the course of time. Even if three Alpha wolves had not died in the house like the story said, someone had died in that room. There was no way such a large amount of blood came from an injury or any other source. I could finally explain the destroyed state of the room. The person had fought, but had been taken to the bed, probably after they were too weak, and maybe the person who had slashed the doll madly, had done the same to the human the

    ATHENA'S POV.I placed my hand in Tristan's, as we walked away from the house. Hiding there had not been a pleasant experience, but I was glad Tristan and I had gotten memories from it.Memories we could keep. Memories of being at a crime scene.I almost laughed at my own ridiculous thoughts. What pleasant memories could have been formed at a crime scene? I was terrified just by waiting in that room.There was its disorganized state, the things falling, with me having no recollection of touching them; the ripped up doll, the woman in the mirror that seemed more like I had imagined it the more I thought about it, and the blood on the bed…Everything about the room screamed murder. Tristan and I didn't walk much before getting to the beach, and there was the sunset in front of us.“Wow! It's beautiful!” I exclaimed softly. I had never paid attention to the sunset when I had my eyes. Even if I had, those moments were all lost in the sea of young memories. Instead, I had heard of people

    ATHENA'S POV.My heart went all ticklish when I placed my lips on his. They were soft, and enticing. My heart skidded into fast beats, and the butterflies appeared out of nowhere, roaming around in my tummy. Tristan kissed me in return, and we shared a deep, and passionate kiss with the smooth breeze.Why did I go to all that trouble of hoping for love? When my love was right here. Falling for Tristan was effortless, and it gave a feeling as sweet as honey.I liked 'liking Tristan'. He was fun, attractive, cool, kind and observant. He was fast becoming the major reason for my smile.When we broke the kiss, a blush crept onto my face, as I smiled; I looked away because I felt a little shy and embarrassed.“I wonder where a blind girl learned to kiss.” He teased, looking at the water with his hands in his pockets, and I laughed.“Maybe her emotions taught her.” I replied, in a low voice, going to stand next to him, but looking away. “Oh really? What emotions?” He asked, turning to m

    TRISTAN'S POV.It seemed like everything stopped moving immediately Matilda informed us of Gary's death. I couldn't believe it. Gary? Dead? There was no way I would believe Gary was dead. I had seen Gary the previous day, and he was healthy and jumping. How could Gary be dead?Gary was one of the men I considered as my grandfather. He was one of the oldest elders in the pack and was happily married to Dorothy—a quiet, calm and sweet woman.Gary had been like a father to both my father and Athena's father, and he had doted on me. When I got into trouble, he always stood up for me, and when I had problems, I always talked to him, before anyone else.When my father died, Gary comforted me. I had acted strong in the presence of everyone, but I had cried with him for so many nights. Gary, who was always laughing, and always had a joke or a story to tell. I had grown to take care of his every need, even though he didn't ask for much. He was always bothering me.“Tristan. When will you hav

    LORRIE'S POV.I was in my room, staring at the new nails I had fixed, and ripping them off with a little knife. How dare they fix nails that didn't suit me?For a whole month, I had been in a sour mood. Everything altogether had been disappointing. My wedding, my long-awaited and desired wedding, had been shifted to another date, right when I thought nothing could stop me and Ragas from getting married. It was only two days more, yet I wasn't given the chance to enjoy it. I had gotten my wedding dress, had tried on almost every ring in every ring shop; I had gotten a complete rack of shoes… everything had been prepared. Only for Ragas to have an important business meeting with clients who he called once-in-a-lifetime clients. My father, who I had thought would take my side, was even thrilled to have such an opportunity come into Ragas' hands.Of course, they knew best, and understood how significant the meeting was, but I would rather not understand. I had thrown a tantrum, but my

    ATHENA'S POV.I picked him up, and turned him around, giggling with him.“What did you just call me? What did you?” I asked in a funny voice, rubbing noses with him.He giggled.“MaMa.” He called again, and I squealed.When I opened my door widely for the first time in months, the maids seemed shocked. I had only always opened it halfway to take food, so they wouldn't be worried I wasn't eating.“Miss!” They said, with tears in their eyes, as they smiled, and I opened one arm. They came to me, and I hugged them as well as I could.Aiden and I went to Alpha Ragas' grave, waiting for Tristan, who would return that night.“Hi.” I said sweetly to Alpha Ragas, and dusted the pictures of him, and us, before placing them gently on the grave. “Say hi Aiden. Say hi.”“Ay.” He said, and I laughed. “It's been like… over two months since you left, and we all miss you, although, I'm still going to tell Aiden you're a coward because you didn't stay.” I said, smiling. “By the way, you haven't come

    ATHENA'S POV.I shuddered, and heaved heavily, feeling like all breath had been stolen from me. He was gone! He would never speak, never smile, never see me. “Alpha Ragas?” I suddenly wished to hear his voice, craved to hear him call my name. Knowing I could never satisfy that craving, made me want to go mad. “Alpha Ragas?” I called, but he didn't reply. I screamed, and screamed again, holding him to my chest. It felt like I would die. My mate had died, and I and my wolf were feeling immense pain.Our goodbye was so painful, and I wished he never came to save me. “Alpha Ragas.” I cried. Crying seemed like it wouldn't be enough. I wanted to cry my soul out. I wanted to scream until there was nothing left to scream.“Help me! I'm dying!” I screamed, hugging his body to me, trying to keep him warm. It didn't help that the atmosphere was cold. It was cooling his warm body faster than food. Alpha Ragas eyes stared lifelessly at the sky, and it tore my heart apart. The palace behind me

    ATHENA'S POV.We stopped running at the same time. His face contorted in pain, and while I remained standing, he fell. My mouth was open, and my breathing began to come out faster. I screamed. I screamed again. My screams seemed to be in distant echoes. I screamed again and again, and fell to my knees. I raised his head on my laps, and tried to stop the blood gushing out of his heart. Why his chest? Why!? Couldn't they have shot his leg? The blood poured out through the space in my fingers, and soaked his clothes terribly. It seemed like everything around me had stopped. I couldn't hear the men any more even though I knew they were coming from us. It felt like my heart was bleeding. Blood gushed out in the form of pain. My chest hurt so much! Words were unable to explain my pain. “Alpha Ragas!” I screamed. Not like that. He wasn't to die like that. I was yet to thank him, and make him feel happy for saving me. Even if I couldn't be with him, I wanted to make it up to him.He cou

    ATHENA'S POV.Alpha Ragas immediately got to his feet, and raced towards the closet as silently as he could. I hid my almost loosened wrists properly behind me, and tried to look hopeless, and scared. The door opened almost immediately, and a maid came in. Without intending to, my head darted towards the closet where Alpha Ragas was. She looked at the closet closely, and I coughed.“I need some water, please. I've been really thirsty. There's no water anywhere.” I said, trying to look really thirsty. “Do I look as if I came here to attend to you? I came here because there is something I have to tell you. Something you might not find exactly pleasing.” She said, haughtily, and I swallowed. “Something I might not find exactly pleasing?” I repeated, and she smiled. “I know the man who came into the castle, following you, or should I say the man who sneaked in after you. He's Alpha Ragas.” She said, taking out a thin knife from her pocket. My eyes trailed the wicked curve of its blade

  • Wanted By The Alphas    Taken

    ATHENA'S POV. No one would ever understand the feeling of gratitude I felt at that moment. Despite being very horrible to me, he jumped headfirst into trouble to save me. That touched me greatly. I was only scared for him. The men around were a lot and they seemed trained to be brutal, merciless, and unforgiving. If they happened to see him, they would take him down, and we'd both get our hearts eaten together because I could tell he was alone and didn't bring anyone along.Alpha Daven walked away, then turned back to me. “Do you want to say something or…?” He asked, and I blinked, trying to push my guilt, and relief out of my face.“You're forgetting that all creatures will eventually die. Everything you're doing right now is in vain.” I spat at him, and he laughed, clapping his hands in amusement.“Isn't it funny how you should be the one telling those words to yourself? All creatures will die someday. You're going to die in two days, there's nothing different in that. Also, whate

  • Wanted By The Alphas    Old Enemy

    ATHENA'S POV.When I opened my eyes, I was on a cold floor, and all around me was tons of space. My hands were tied behind my back, and there was a gag in my mouth. It hurt the corners of my lips, and my sounds were all muffled, as I tried to call for anyone who was behind me. No one answered, so I tried to recall what had happened. There had been the guy with the phone. Yes, he was the one who had abducted me. But wait? Why would anyone want to capture the Luna of the pack? Did they want to make Tristan mad? Why would they do something as stupid as that?I suddenly felt large and strong hands grip my shoulder, and I made a loud muffled sound, as I was made to sit. It turned out I wasn't alone afterall. I was in a large warehouse, and there were men in dark suits lined in two different columns with a lot of space between them. They looked like body guards, but on second thought, they looked like assassins with black glasses on their faces.It meant there was someone else—the boss. T

    ALPHA RAGAS’ POVFor the first time in years, I had cried. I couldn't stop the tears. They kept on flowing like rivers, and my heart was broken anew. Why was I crying? Tears and men didn't go along, but it seemed like I had transformed into a woman that night. I barely made it into my motel room before the tears began to crash like the waves of the sea. I sat in front of the little bed, and my tears ceased to stop. As usual, I drank myself to stupor, and passed out drunk. The next morning, I had a hangover that threatened to end me, but even with that terrible hangover, I still found myself asking the female receptionist if Tristan brought ladies in.I needed something on him.Subconsciously, my steps retraced their way to Athena's Palace, and I watched the guards do their jobs. I stayed there for a long time, and it was late in the afternoon when Athena came out. She took her hair out of the ponytail it was in, and it tumbled down around her shoulders in waves. She wasn't with A

    ATHENA'S POV“Yeah, why don't we fight to the death, and Athena will have no choice, but to go with me at the end.” Alpha Ragas said, and my heart began to beat faster. They weren't really going to fight, were they?“If you can survive.” Tristan replied.“Where do we have the fight?” Alpha Ragas asked, and that was when I realized I had to step in because they were indeed intending to fight to the death. “Stop! There will be no such thing as a fight. Not when I'm here.” I said.“Athena, stay out of this. I'm trying to end all this once and for all.” Tristan replied, still staring at Alpha Ragas. “Maids are watching, we are having dinner. Do you want to shed blood here? I'm not pleased with this, Tristan, and if both of you think a fight will solve this, I'm just going to walk right out those double doors with Aiden. I mean it.” I said, in my strongest voice. “We are mates, Athena. Shouldn't you side with me?”“Alpha Ragas, I will be the one to choose the man I will stay with. Not y

    ATHENA'S POV. Immediately Alpha Jeremy had broken the mate bond, it had felt like my heart had been crushed. I fell on all fours, with my mouth open in pain. It was beyond painful, and I thought if I just stayed there without doing a thing, then the pain would be bearable, but no, it wasn't. It forced a scream out of my throat, and I held onto my heart. It felt like my heart was really breaking apart. This wasn't just an emotional pain. It felt physical, like someone was truly trying to split apart my heart. Tears filled my eyes, and I began to cry out. I heard Alpha Jeremy groan, but was too focused on my pain to think of whatever was going on with him.The grass was cold, and the wind below began to blow harder. My hair was all over my face, and my dress threatened to rise above my legs. None of them were helping matters.I lay on the floor after some minutes with an intense throbbing pain in my heart. After a while, it began to recede, and the throbbing reduced. I was breathing
