ATHENA'S POV.

I didn't have the strength in me to fight anymore, so I went with the calm water. The three Alphas had dropped their tasks, and they all were life-threatening. My head still bled furiously, but I couldn't even raise a hand to try to wipe out the ones that found their way into my eye.

I was pushed to dry ground when the water had become as small as a stream, and Iay there resting, until I saw Sera standing there, staring at me.

Despite how weak I felt, I found the strength to stand, and walked to her, holding my belly. My body ached with pain, and it felt like a mine in my head. There was a lot of pounding, and hacking in it.

I felt like fainting, and forgetting everything that was happening at the moment.

"Did I pass?" I asked, even though I knew I did, and she nodded with a little smile.

Sera turned, and began to leave, while I struggled to catch up, with my hands still over my belly protectively, like something else was going to happen.

Sera and I walked through th

    ATHENA'S POV."Tristan. The baby…""The baby what?" He asked, flatly at first, then his eyes widened. "What's wrong? Do you feel pain, do you...?""The baby kicked!" I squealed, and his eyes widened even more. "You're sure the baby really kicked?" He asked, moving from his spot on the bed to kneel next to me. "Yeah, twice. I'm sure it's a kick.""It's not just something else?" He asked again, bending to place his head gently, over my protruding belly. "I'm approaching my sixth month. What do you expect?" I chuckled."So soon?""The fifth month is almost over.""Wow, but I don't hear it kick anymore.""Maybe he's done kicking for the day." I replied, and he burst into laughter."Must be a girl then. How can two kicks be it for the day?" He asked, lifting his head, and I laughed."There you go. Men always have the impression they're stronger. You're attributing the qualities of a man into a baby, who's yet to be called a boy, without the word baby behind it? Who says girls can't be s

    ATHENA'S POV."Thank you, Tristan." I said, to him, and I could tell he liked being appreciated. "What's there to thank? You should also be independent. I wouldn't want you waiting all day for me because I'm busy at work. You should also have something doing. Also, you can make new friends that way." He replied, and I nodded. "Well, thanks for… you know, just thanks. For everything.""I can't begin to imagine how many times you've thanked me for everything. Maybe I should start thanking you, too, for everything. Eating, drinking, being here, carrying a baby, taking me on a vacation…" He started to list out pointless things to thank me for, and I laughed out loud. We got to our destination, and I was surprised to see we were going to be boarding a cruise ship."Woah!" I exclaimed, and tried hastily to get out of the car, but he stopped me. "You should be a lot more careful. Consider going out gently, will you?" He said; I inhaled, and exhaled, before pushing the door open, and ste

  • Wanted By The Alphas    Getting Started

    ATHENA'S POV.Everything seemed to get better, the moment I slept with Tristan. It seemed like we finally became lovers, like we finally knew each other. It had been moments of passion, all joined together to form a beautiful experience. As the rain fell, drowning all sounds out, Tristan and I tangled in the sheets over, and over, and spent hours with each other just like the rain spent hours, raining all it had. When the rain stopped, the sky was clear and beautiful, and it seemed to me like the sky was a newly-washed cloth, ready to be worn again.The cruise went completely fine. I took basic business lectures online, sitting in the relaxing sun daily, and had three tutors, along with a woman, who was going to be my personal assistant when I took over one of Tristan's companies. "Good day, ma'am. I am Lilac, and I'll be more than happy to be at your service." She said, with a confident smile.I studied Lilac. She had short shoulder-length black hair, which followed the direction

    ATHENA'S POV."In exactly two weeks, you will get what you need, ma'am." Lilac said, and I felt even more reassured, having someone capable, who could do all the things I couldn't. "Sit with me awhile." I said, stretching out my legs on the grass, and she sat next to me, although with some distance between us."How does it feel?" She asked, after some minutes."How does what feel?" I asked."Being pregnant."I chuckled. "Why?" I asked. "I always think about my future… when I get married, but I'm too scared to think of getting pregnant. I guess I'm more of a coward, but thinking of the pain I'll have to face to bring the baby out, I'm like… what if I can't do it? "What if it's too painful to go on? Every woman speak of it being painful, and the pain leaving immediately they see the child, but I don't believe it. Maybe they're really happy, but the pain would surely be there." She said, slowly, staring off into the distance and I smiled."I want to hold him, I want to see him, I wan

    ATHENA'S POV.Did she recognize me? Did she notice me following her? Had she noticed all along?I turned away, giving Lilac my attention, and in a few seconds, someone tapped me. My heart skidded, as I turned to see it was Octavia. I couldn't even tell if she recognized me or not, because I was blinded by my own fear and guilt. "Hi." She greeted, smiling brightly, and I guessed she didn't notice after all. Lilac came to stand protectively between us, and Octavia's brows furrowed."Who are you?" She asked, looking irritated."I'm her personal assistant." Lilac replied flatly, and I touched her arm."It's fine." I said, and my eyes snapped to Octavia in a flash. My voice… She was bound to remember my voice… or…Octavia didn't even make an expression that suggested she knew something. She simply looked irritated. Lilac turned to me."Will you really be fine, ma'am?" She asked."Woah! Do I look like a thug to you, or someone dangerous? Hello, I'm Octavia Sparks, the Luna here." She sai

  • Wanted By The Alphas    A Sound Of Laughter

    ATHENA'S POV."Athena." I called slowly, like I was hearing the name for the first time, and Octavia placed her hands on her face. "A disgusting bitch who tried to seduce Alpha Jeremy, and steal him from me. She was a blind bat, but managed to do things just fine. She even compared herself to me. Acting like she was some rich lady when she had only been a maid. That was just so suffocating." Octavia spat out, and ran her hands through her hair. "Hate to think about her. Some people were just born to steal things from others.""So… what happened to her?" I asked slowly, and Lilac shifted, as she noticed the change in my tone."Hopefully she's dead. She got sent out for cheating on the Alpha, with his guard!" Octavia spat. Had she been spewing lies about me everywhere she went?"A guard?""Yes, I caught them in the act." She whispered, and I gave a little scoff."She's that bad?" I asked."Yes. A complete nutjob, wacko, and slut. She just has to have everything. She wanted to sleep wi

  • Wanted By The Alphas    In A Fix

    OCTAVIA'S POV.I lay lazily on my bed, feeling frustrated about everything. It had been hard to stop being addicted to shopping. The billions in the company credit card, had been reduced to little millions. I bought every expensive thing I could lay my eyes on, and had done that on a daily basis. I was scared of the amount of money that was left on the credit card. It was a lot and I wasn't sure if I could ever repay them in time, before Alpha Jeremy realized he needed it.I had gotten a brand new wardrobe because my current wardrobe was filled up, and could take no more clothes..My phone's ringtone broke the still air once more, and I bit my lip. It was Friday, and my friends were calling, so I could take them shopping. They were being greedy. After all Mrs. Lockwood, my new friend, had made me buy for them, they still wanted more. I was sick of it all. They had called me close to fifty times. I began to wonder if it really made a difference if I didn't shop with them for a day.W

    OCTAVIA'S POV."Ohh… That's… Oh, jeez. What do we do, Alpha Jeremy? I…" I wiped my hands on my gown. I didn't know how I was going to escape his wrath. Even if I lied, and he believed it, he was still going to get mad at me."You what?" He asked, and I looked everywhere else except his face. I couldn't meet his eyes.Fear raced through me like a living being, and it seemed like I was going to explode. My heartbeat became faster and louder, and my lips ran dry every time I opened them to speak."So, uh… the thing is. I… I, uh… I wanted to tell you earlier, but… but…""Please speak." He said, almost snapping at me, and I cleared my throat. "There's a problem. A huge problem, Alpha Jeremy. I'm afraid I lost the card, and some… some people took it. They… I don't know what they could have done with that money." I blurted out, with my eyes more restless than they had been. Alpha Jeremy stared at me, and I swallowed. "I was scared you'd be mad. So… so, I… I wanted to save up to repay you

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

  • Wanted By The Alphas    Raw Pain

    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

  • Wanted By The Alphas    Traumatic

    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

  • Wanted By The Alphas    Fear Of Losing Her

    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

  • Wanted By The Alphas    Head - On

    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
