ATHENA’S POVI was awed by his beauty and porcelain face. His smile was so charming that I could fall for him in one heartbeat and the curiosity in his eyes made him look innocent and sweet. His physique was what most girls would certainly fall for.Now, I understood why those girls even had to bully a blind girl like me all because he looked so handsome. “Athena, can you see properly?” He asked, looking at me, out of concern.I fluttered my eyes like I was bringing myself back to reality, and I moistened my lips.“Yeah… yeah, I can see properly. So, this is you.” I smiled, unable to get my eyes off him.Daniel blushed and itched his neck as he avoided eye contact with me.“I guess. So, how do you feel as you’ve gotten your eyesight?” He asked with a smile on his face.“I feel great!” I raised my voice high enough and I screamed in excitement.It felt as if everything was just getting to me. I could finally see and now that I see, the world looks really beautiful. I twirled around an
ATHENA’S POVI could feel my insides turning up and swirling around, making me feel really uncomfortable.“I don’t feel too good, Daniel. Something is going on with me.” I cried out as I began to change form.To my surprise, Daniel only stood, watching me, without doing anything. It seemed as if he knew what was going on, and had been waiting for this time.My claws came out and my fangs did the same. Right now, all I wanted was to destroy something, to take a life and to cause chaos. The burning desire inside of me was so much that I wasn’t certain how much longer I could hold on.I began to hit the mountains and I was successfully making cracks which was quite surprising.“Athena, you need to calm down.” Daniel said, gesturing with his hand.“Well, it seems like you know something. How do I calm down!” I raised my voice and it sounded a bit raspy.A look of shock appeared on my face and I growled out loud in anger. Why was I filled with rage and the desire to over turn things? but a
ALPHA JEREMY'S POV.I waited in my room for the Physician to relay the news of Henry's health to me, and those minutes spent waiting were agony. I could not bring myself to concentrate on anything else.The only thing I did was sit on my bed with my elbows on my knees and fingers clasped together.If I lost Henry, I didn't know what I'd do. Waiting was agony as I didn't know what was going on. Finally, after close to four hours, one of the Physician's trainees knocked on my door. “Come in.” I said, getting to my feet. “The physician said, if you want to see him briefly, you can.” She relayed to me and I walked out the door quickly. “What is he doing?” I asked her, as she followed me.“He's running additional tests, but we managed to find a way to separate the poison from his bloodstream through chelation therapy. He has to take the treatment weekly, so we can heal him totally. For humans, they might never recover on some occasions, but he's a wolf, and a strong one at that, so he'll
ATHENA’S POVI could see the look of shock on Daniel’s face. Definitely, he didn’t expect that I would not succumb to his wish, especially when it had to do with my sight. But deep down, I preferred to have my sight and feel free to do whatever goodwill I wished to do.But then, having my sight meant that I had to succumb to do evil things which wasn’t me. I couldn’t bear to do evil things. It’s more like I freed myself from a particular bondage just to get into another one. “Did you hear the words that came out from your mouth? You just said that you prefer to be blind, Athena. How can that be possible? How would you be fine with remaining blind? Don’t you recall all the sufferings you went through when you couldn’t see?” Daniel retorted, looking at me with disbelief.“I don’t care. I was still living a free life. I can’t be bound to do evil things in exchange for my sight. I’m sorry, you might have to find another minion and probably in another city, because if things go wrong and
ALPHA JEREMY'S POV.Why did the damn impostor have to scratch his ear?"Damn!" Rage pulsed through my veins and I ran a hand through my hair angrily. I felt the urge to destroy. I wanted to find someone's neck to squeeze and snap. My hands shook from the rage I felt and all I wanted to do was scream my frustration out. My feet paced around my room as our bug recorded nothing but leaves shaken by the wind. Nothing was working out. It was getting even worse. We had just given out our tool for progress. They were far gone. Even if I wanted to chase in the direction they had gone hours ago, it would be impossible. They were far too gone. I sat on my bed with the nails of my index and thumb in my mouth, as my leg tapped furiously. What was my next step? What else was I going to do?Did I just return back to square one? "Damn you!" I screamed, getting up from the bed, turning and giving it a kick. The bed frame moved, but I wasn't satisfied. I pushed it all the way to the wall and pick
ATHENA’S POVI leaned back on the car seat, deciding not to digest any word he said because he was more like a back stabber to me. Such a person couldn’t be trusted anymore. Soon, the driver halted and I knew we had gotten home.“Ma’am, we’ve gotten to your destination.” The driver informed me, and I heard the door at the front seat open.Then I heard the door at his side open and close, and before I knew it, the door beside me was opened as well. I brought out my cane and used it as a support to help myself out of the car. Then the driver helped me to carry other belongings of mine.Here I was, back at the mansion where I was never happy. I’m certain Octavia would try to make my days worse in this house, especially as she said I owed her one. I was thinking I was going to come back with my sight, but I came back the same without a clue of how I looked or how anyone here looked.“Welcome miss.” I heard Jane welcome me as she held my hand.She sounded happy to see me and that was the
ALPHA JEREMY'S POV“Yes, she is around. Is there a reason you asked?” Octavia inquired, looking curious and probably threatened.“Why didn't you tell me?” I questioned, staring at her.“I… I didn't think of it that way. She came back not long and is now in her room, but what's more important is checking up on you and ensuring you're okay.” Octavia spoke looking worried.Then I sighed and shut my eyes, giving up on the coldness I was showing her.“I'm fine. I'm sorry I made you feel worried. I'll be in my study.” I said to her and walked out of the bedroom.I knew that wasn't enough for her to feel less worried or threatened, but there was no time to make her feel any better. I still had a few things on my mind and one of them was why Athena's presence was stirring up the wolf in me.I walked swiftly to the study and pushed open the door, then went in. I also ensured to lock the door up because Octavia could come in and intrude my privacy and the lone moment I needed now.My whole insi
ATHENA'S POV.I went still on the chair in front of my dresser and Jane bowed before she walked out. For some reason, my heart was pounding and I couldn't control how I felt. I kept on swallowing and pushing down saliva but more of them came. My fingers felt so light, so light that they seemed to shake so easily. I didn't want to mate with him. I was unable to deny that and I guessed that was why I was having such mixed feelings. “Stop.” I whispered to myself, as if that would stop my heart from the uproar it was in.I blinked hard into the darkness before me and wondered again how different things would have been if I had my sight back. The window looked like it could be an ideal place for escaping.There were bound to be places I could place my feet on to get down safely or I could have easily acted as if I was going to get something, but as I was thrown into my darkness once more, I couldn't. I took in a deep breath, trying to calm myself as he got even closer. My hands stretch
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
