ATHENA'S POV“What's going on, Daniel?” I asked in a low tone, and in fear.“Whatever she says to you or make you feel, do not believe her. Do not let her make you feel fear or it'll get real.” Daniel said in a hurry, and then I heard a snap of a finger.I covered my ears with my hands as it was piercingly loud. And out of the blue, I felt alone. I could no longer feel Daniel's presence.I was left with my cane only, and the air was chilly. Also, it felt as if I was on a vast land that was dark, but was illuminated by the moon light.Then I heard a light, but echoing cackle.“Where am I? Where's Daniel?” I asked, with a shaky voice.“Do you need to know when you can't see?” She cackled again. “Anyways, prepare to bid goodbye to the earth, because you will not live to see your loved ones and friends when my pet is done with you.” My heart skipped a beat in anxiousness. Was she really planning to kill me? No, no. It can't be. Daniel already said I shouldn't believe whatever she says or
ATHENA'S POVI looked around in fear, and tried to move away as fast as I could, probably I could find a place to hide, but it felt as if each place I turned to, the monster was still coming from that angle.“Shit! What do I do?” I muttered under my breath, feeling like my heart was going to jump out of my chest.Then I heard a loud cackle again from Naamah. She seemed to derive pleasure from my fear, and even as much as I tried to overcome the fear, and think it wasn't real, it was all futile.“Help! Daniel, help me!” I called out to him, but Naamah's cackle only increased more, and it became even more difficult to think that Daniel would be able to help me this time.Soon, I felt a cold chill around me, like a creature who I wasn't noticing it's presence was breathing cold breath on me.“Please let me go.” I pleaded, beginning to lose hopes that I would make it out of here.“You really are something, Athena. Didn't you know that you should be expecting things like this in a journey
OCTAVIA'S POVWhile Alpha Jeremy was out to somewhere which I feel is important, but he didn't want to tell me about it, I was on the bed, feeling a bit lonely.Usually, he doesn't deprive me of his attention, but these days, especially since Henry came back wounded and had not healed, he seemed to be in a different world.Did it mean that he cared about Henry more than he cared about me? That was unfair, and uncalled for.He was supposed to talk to me and ask me to be patient with him or something, just so I wouldn't feel left out but he didn't do any of that.Suddenly, I got a text from the leader of the Dark Crescent Gang. Why was he texting me again? I had said to myself that I wouldn't go back to him or sort as I felt this feeling of guilt all through.“Why don't you come over to my house again, and then you get another information for him?”I scoffed, and rolled my eyes, then I sent a text back to him telling him “To hell with your information.”I wanted to clear off any form of
OCTAVIA'S POV.My eyes flew open and my heart suddenly gained wings. I found that I couldn't bring myself to close my mouth as I grabbed my phone and shot up into a sitting position.Why had he written it in capital letters? Did he…Did he…My hand flew to my mouth and my heart was pricking with the combination of fear and guilt. He didn't know what I was doing, did he?My heart raced hard and my lips went dry. I started to type;*Went to get something…*I erased it. My fingers were trembling too hard, and writing was a hassle. I hadn't even confirm if he had discovered my unfaithful acts, but I was trembling, and shaking like a leaf. *Had to see someone…*Once more, it was erased. *Is something the problem?*"No, no..." I grunted, unable to send a message. Immediately I swung my feet off the bed, dropping my phone on the bedside table, and picking up my shirt with trembling hands. Leaving was the right thing to do, not texting him back. If anything happened and he happens to discov
ATHENA'S POVMy scream tore the air as I fell, my arms and legs flailed, wishing I'd just happen to hold onto something accidentally, and stop myself from falling.The feeling of falling was horrible. It felt like all my organs were floating inside of me. I wanted to touch ground badly but at the same time, touching the ground meant I had to die and I didn't want to.Would my head hit the ground? Or would it be my back? All thoughts were blocked from my head, and the only thoughts in my head was of falling.Suddenly, I hit something soft compared to the ground being hard and arms encircled me. It didn't stop the fall, but it was already broken. We had fallen from human height. I smelled him before he spoke.It was Daniel."Are you okay?" He asked, pulling my hair out of my face, his voice flooded with worry."Yes. Yeah, I'm fine." I replied, in a little voice. I rolled off Daniel, and tried to sit up. Then I heard slow claps coming from a distance, and realized it had to be Naamah wh
ATHENA’S POVJust as those claws had grabbed me, Daniel grabbed me back and a part of my cloth tore open.“Come on, we’re almost at the barrier. Run!” Daniel urged and I tried to run as fast as I could even when my legs almost went frozen from the touch of the monster or whatever it was that grabbed me.“What barrier?” I asked out of curiosity.“It’s a barrier that keeps mystical and monstrous creatures from disturbing whatever we are here for.”“Does it mean we’re close to our destination?” I asked as I ran with my all.“More like we’ve gotten there.” Daniel spoke and then he halted.I almost tripped because he didn’t alert me but I was interrupted by a loud growl before I could speak about that offense.“Now, we’re safe.” Daniel said softly and I let out a sigh of relief.I dropped down on the ground and smiled happily. It meant that I was going to leave here, with my sight. It would be easier to escape from any scary thing with my sight back.“I’m so glad we made it, Athena.” Danie
ALPHA JEREMY’S POV“So, what is the plan? I need to know your plan to be certain I’m not losing.” “Alright, I think you should place a bug on him. Since he is more like his best man, they’ll certainly have multiple conversations together and from there, we’ll be able to get a lot of information.” Octavia spoke out.“Wow. That’s a smart plan, Octavia. A really smart one. Thank you so much, honey.” I appreciated her, and gave her a brief kiss on her lips.“It’s my pleasure, darling.”I smiled at her, and caressed her hair. “I’m glad I have you.”Octavia blushed and I smiled again.“Alright, so, let me start out with the plan.” I said to her, then texted the number that texted me back.“Alright, come pick up your man while I pick mine up.” Just as if he was waiting for my text, he texted me back immediately ‘Alright.”Then I ordered for the release of our captive, but I instructed my guards to wisely plant a bug somewhere behind his ear, hopefully that he doesn’t wash that part off. S
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 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
