ATHENA’S POVI gulped down my saliva, nervously, and moistened my lips. They may not have any bad thoughts towards me. It might just be all in my head, but first, I needed to use the restroom, and I don’t think I can wait too long, anymore.“Hello. Please can anyone of you, help me to the restroom?” I requested for help, but all I got was them, laughing out loud.It was quite surprising that it was the response to my plea for help. Could my hunch have been right?“Why do you think we’ll desire to help you, blind girl?” One of them with a thick voice, spoke out.That cut deep into my heart, because this wasn’t how I expected my first day at college to go. “She’s speechless.” Another giggled and ended her giggle with a satisfied sigh.It was painful that I couldn’t see how these ladies looked like to know how dangerous they could be to me, either physically or mentally.“Did I perhaps offend you? I’m sorry, but I just can’t wrap my head around the reason you are all laughing at me, and
ALPHA JEREMY’S POVI closed my laptop, and gulped down the remnant of my chilled wine, and then stretched. It was so relaxing to have completed my work in one sitting. Now, what I needed was to hold Octavia tight, and have the best time with her.I walked to the bedroom, and met Octavia lying down sexily with her phone in her hands. I moistened my lips, and my dick got excited as I placed my laptop somewhere safe.“Oh, this looks so good.” She complimented, staring at my dick, sexily.That was one thing I loved about her. She understood signals easily, and was always ready to please me the way I wanted. She made even my sex life, more interesting. Who in their right senses would let a woman like Octavia, go, when there are only a few of them in this world?She moved closer to me, and touched me softly.Her touch sent a wave of signal all through my body and I was all charged up for a good sex with her. I also bit my lips in response and stared into her eyes lustfully. Then I held her
ALPHA JEREMY'S POVI wrapped a robe around myself and went to get some water to drink. Octavia definitely knew how to get me exhausted whenever we slept with each other and thinking of the moments of electricity we shared minutes ago, I couldn't help smiling to myself.As I drank, Athena's maid walked past, bowing as she did and I recalled I hadn't really seen Athena since she got back from her college."Has Athena eaten?" I asked, leaning against a wall and she turned to look at me."No. I… I haven't seen her yet. She's yet to return." She replied in a timid voice, keeping her head bowed and her fingers tangled together. "Yet to return?" I asked in surprise, then dropped my water on the counter and left to check on the driver.Surprisingly, the driver was at his quarters, and immediately he saw me, he bowed low."Where is Athena?" I asked, putting my hands in the pockets of my robe, and he raised his head. His eyes shifted restlessly, refusing to meet mine and finally he bowed real
ATHENA'S POV."Miss, are you okay?" The driver asked and my eyes flew open, staring into the familiar thick darkness that had surrounded me for most of my life. Immediately my eyes flew open, I knew I had been dreaming. I took in deep breaths and bit my lip. Just a word from Daniel and I was already dreaming of seeing? No, that wasn't good. Hopes were meant to be dashed, and if I begun to have hopes that were going to be dashed, it wasn't going to be quite easy for me."I'm… I'm fine." I replied the driver a little breathlessly. I closed my eyes tight and relived the happiness of that dream. It had felt so real. Even if I had to see things through a black veil forever, I was fine with it. I just hated being blind. I hated it badly. I wanted to see."Was it a bad dream, Miss?" The driver asked, and I opened my eyes."No, a good one. A good one too good to be true." I replied slowly not even knowing when the words fell from my lips. "What am I saying? Please don't mind me." I said with
I felt really pained that I had to come across people like Octavia and my half sister who made me go through all kinds of unfavorable situations. I let out a deep sigh, and found my way to the car. It was enough that I am blind, but due to selfishness, and her heartlessness, she had to make my life worse again.I managed to open the car door, and then closed it as soon as I settled down on the car seat. “We can leave now.” I said to the driver“Alright, ma’am.”He started the car, and then drove off to my college. Although, Octavia had given me a bad start for the day, but Alpha Jeremy’s gift to me was strong enough to wade off Octavia’s negative vibe. As soon as the car went to a halt, I heard the car door open at the front seat, and then close.Then I felt the car door on my side open, and I held on to my cane to guide me out of the car.“Thanks. Please don’t keep me waiting, today.” I spoke out, not wanting to stand under the sun for long, again.“Yes, ma’am. I’ll come early to pi
ALPHA JEREMY’S POVI was in my study, working on a few business proposals which I preferred to work on here, and not at work. Sometimes, I just prefer to work at home, and I use that to also test my secretary’s capabilities when I’m not around.My phone rang, and I discovered it was Henry, my beta.“Hey henry, what’s going on?” I asked, wondering why he had called this time.“Alpha, I have something really important to relay to you.” He informed, with an urgent tone.“Alright, speak up. I’m all ears.”“No, Alpha, it’s not something I can say out to you over the phone. As soon as I’m out of here, I will come over to the palace.” He said immediately, and hung up.Something was definitely wrong somewhere. And I hoped that he would come back home safe to let me know what it was.ATHENA’S POVI decided to pretend like nothing was probably about to go wrong, because that’s what I wanted to believe. I reached out for my cane, but I felt someone toss it away.“Uhm… Excuse me, I need that cane
ATHENA’S POVIt was closing hour already, and Daniel led me outside.“Your driver is here, Athena. But we have somewhere to go to first, before you go home. So, we’re going to walk really fast before he sees us. You have to trust me, in order for that to happen.” Daniel spoke to me.Although, what he asked was quite tasking. To walk fast while holding his hands when blind was something difficult to do, a trust which was difficult to give out, but the desire to see was more than being skeptical about trusting him on leading me without having to fall.“Alright, let’s do this.” I urged, and pursed my lips, hoping that I wasn’t going to fall so hard, and regret it.Daniel and I walked fast, and it was quite fun to walk fast like I could see. I let out a chuckle, and another, excited at how good it made me feel. Daniel also joined me in laughing until he told me to slow down.“I guess we’ve passed by my driver.” I said, with a smile.“Yes, we have. Now, we can freely walk.”“Okay. So, wher
ATHENA’S POVI looked at him to ask him what he meant by that, but the sudden aura I felt, made me wonder if he wanted to hear anything from me or not. But I still wanted to ask to clarify things.“Don’t ask me any questions, Athena. I think you should focus on what to say when you get back home.” He said as he made a few metal clanking noises.Right there, I recalled that I hadn’t said anything to Alpha Jeremy, and the driver would probably have been waiting for me for a long while now. Then I felt the old man’s hand, holding mine again, and I felt it that we were back to the sitting room.These are the disadvantages of me, being blind. How could I not see whatever happened? I was so curious, but I knew no one would tell me. Even Daniel would definitely keep it a secret, or perhaps he doesn’t know about it.Things like this could be comfortably made known to the blind, because they can’t see, and secrets leaking would therefore not happen.“Alright, let’s head back to school. I’m sur
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
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
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
