ATHENA'S POV.

I was shocked by what he had said. My father had been an Alpha? No way. I had been an Alpha's daughter all along?

I began to think of all the misery and pain I had gone through. Did I really have to go through all that? It was so easy to picture me painting in the garden, and having maids feed me strawberries. I could have run around in the field with friends.

Balls, ceremonies, and celebrations could have been something I loved. I could see myself in the castle dressed in finery, and running towards my father.

That was a life I could have lived, but I didn't get to have such a beautiful life.

I didn't want to miserable, and pathetic, crying over something I couldn't change, but it was quite painful. Thinking of everything I had to experience, compared to everything I could have experienced, brought tears to my eyes.

"There's no need to cry anymore. However ugly your past may have been, snap out of it, so you can begin to make your future beautiful." He said to me, an

    ATHENA'S POV."Welcome party?" I asked him, turning around slowly."Of course. I want everyone to know you're back. The daughter of the Alpha is finally back after years of absence." He replied, and I felt him walk past me gently. "Oh." I was taken aback, and grateful that he actually thought about that. The fact that it was a welcome party, made me even more convinced that I was where I ought to be."What would you want as a gift? You seem to like the garden, perhaps you'd fancy flowers?" He asked, turning me around gently, and placing a flower on my nose. The scent was nice, and seemed to help me relax. Could I really trust this place?It wasn't that things weren't convincing enough, I just had my expectations dashed too many times."Flowers are nice too." I replied, taking the flower from him."Or you want snacks you can munch on?" He asked, and I smiled. "Snacks are okay too." I replied. Alpha Tristan and I spent a lot of time in the garden, and we were served breakfast there

  • Wanted By The Alphas    Being Welcomed

    ATHENA'S POV.The maids continued to dress me, throwing compliments my way, as they did, but I couldn't help but feel the anxiety crowd me.It was my party. Mine. The party was for me, so why was I so scared?Maybe it was because I had never had a party held for me in my life, or because I had never had to be the center of attention. The main reason something was taking place. "It's all done." A maid said, and I got up from the chair. However, the dress felt too tight. It had a slit at the back, but was still tight, and that made it hard to walk."I'm sorry. This is a little too tight. I feel so uncomfortable." I voiced out, and there was silence. "But it's beautiful." One of them said, in a voice full of disappointment."It's a party. I will be forced to eat and drink. When I do, it would be easier for the dress to split. I wouldn't want that." I explained further, and they sighed. "That's very fine. We will get you another pretty dress to wear, although these set of jewelries wou

    ATHENA'S POV.All eyes were on me as I spoke, and it gave me nervous chills, which ran up my spine. I moistened my lips to say another word, but couldn't.The fact that I couldn't see them made it worse. If I eventually spoke, would they like the speech? Would they think of it as excellent, or would they wonder what my speech was all about?It felt like I was beginning to breathe too fast, and my dress which was free from the waist down, seemed to suddenly feel too tight. Just then, I felt a hand alight on my shoulder. It was Alpha Tristan. He didn't say a word, but that simple gesture made me feel a lot better. It made me feel everyone else was eager to hear me talk and that they'd accept whatever speech I made. "Honestly, it's… it's an honor to stand before you all today, and I truly appreciate it." I began, and my eyes filled up with tears. "What does being home feel like? Honestly, it feels like the best thing ever. Everything's just so new to me, and the fact that I'm being ac

  • Wanted By The Alphas    The Past

    ATHENA'S POV.It was late at night, before I was allowed to get some sleep.I had not only danced with Alpha Tristan, but with some other men, who according to Alpha Tristan, had been dying to meet me. Thereafter, I had eaten in the midst of mothers, who all seemed to have sons they felt I would like.After hours spent in the great hall, the crowd begun to thin out, as people went to rest. "Thank you." I said to the maid, who had helped me bring all my presents to my room.She laid them all on the floor, as I asked her to, and excused herself.Then, I took a long shower, then found my way to the closet, and scanned around for night clothes. I found a light gown, and pulled it on, before making my way back to the bed slowly. Thanks to the maids, who were always in the room. I was able to navigate my way around the room carefully. When I had been dressed, I had heard the voice of the maid bringing me dresses, and had marked the direction from which her voice was coming, as the direc

  • Wanted By The Alphas    Revenge

    ATHENA'S POV.My fingers fiddled with each other, as I tried to speak of my painful past.Speaking about it would help me in moving on. It would make me feel better. "I know." Came his reassuring voice, and I felt even more probed to talk. One after the other, I could hear the maids, trying to walk as quietly as they could, past Alpha Tristan and I. They opened the door, and I heard them all leaving. Alpha Tristan had probably signalled to them to leave, since I seemed to be having difficulty in opening up."Thank you, Alpha Tristan.""Call me Tristan, please. The younger you would cringe if she heard you calling me by the Alpha title." He said, and I sighed. "It feels a little awkward.""You'd get used to it. Just keep calling me that way, and you'll feel better." He said, and my smile grew wider. "You don't have to act so tamed now. I don't know much about you, but I'm guessing you used to be a maid. Although I wonder how you could have handled things." He wondered, and I scratc

  • Wanted By The Alphas    Proposal

    ATHENA'S POV."You can help me get revenge?" I asked, pulling away from his hug gently. "Yes. I personally feel Jeremy, and your sister ought to feel remorse for the wrong they have done. If your father had been here, he would go nuts over his daughter being treated in that manner. He would not stand for it." He explained, and I felt relief wash over me. I could not help imagining Lorrie realizing I was someone, who was probably more important than she was. The satisfaction from it, would be blissful. But thinking about it again; Lorrie didn't really matter to me. Thanks to her, I had learned to survive in the world, despite being blind. The real people I needed my revenge on were Ragas, and Alpha Jeremy. The both of them needed to suffer for the wrong they had done to me. "Thank you. Thank you, Tristan." I let my gratitude flow in the form of more tears, and he wiped them away. "You'll be fine. You're home now, and we can comfortably think of means to get back at them." He reas

  • Wanted By The Alphas    Glimpse Into The Future

    TRISTAN'S POV. Staring at Athena when I had firstly met her had been like looking at the sun through a glass. She had looked so beautiful that it was hard to get my eyes off her. After saving her, I had tried to stay neutral because I didn't know the kind of person she had become, nor did I know why she had been in the forest, wandering about.However, all that had faded away, as I discovered the inner beauty she possessed. She was calm, polite, and seemed to be really thoughtful. It was hard not to feel something more for her, because simply staring at her while she gazed into the distance made my heart feel light.Even when I was directly staring into her eyes, she couldn't see me. It gave me the chance to stare at her in detail, and discover the things I had loved about her back when we were younger. Being a young boy, I had not known much about love, but I had always seen Athena as my mate. Eventually we turned out not to be mates, and I kept on wondering about hers. It had mad

  • Wanted By The Alphas    Possibility

    TRISTAN'S POV.At that moment, I felt a little grateful that she was blind. That way she didn't get to see the crestfallen look on my face. She said she was not so sure she could make a decision at the moment. Why was that? It only meant she wasn't really interested in me. Was there something else she wasn't telling me? Was there someone else in her heart that made it so hard to decide on the spot?I could not pinpoint the exact reason why she wouldn't want to be the Luna and inherit all she was meant to inherit in the first place. Did she really have no memories of us? Had she been too young to remember? Thinking of that, saddened me. Why was I the only one guarding the memories of us? She had so much fun with me. Why had she forgotten everything else? Had the trauma of being kidnapped at such a young age, wiped everything away from her head?How could she forget those precious memories we had made together?Athena looked away like she realized I was disappointed greatly, and she r

    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

  • 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
