ATHENA'S POV.

I couldn't help the smile that rose to my face.

“We finally bought it?” I asked, and Lilac went to my desk, taking out some papers, which she handed to me.

I took them hastily, and opened them page after page, checking to be certain we really bought them. There it was… Lilac's signature… I closed my eyes, and gave a sigh of relief.

Alpha Jeremy was probably thinking he had been really lucky. Very soon, he'd discover he had been reduced to less than half of what he used to be. Of course, selling his assets must have been a great way to generate cash in the short term, but I was sure he wasn't investing it or using it to raise more businesses.

Rather, he was going to settle all his debts with that money.

“That reminds me, I met Octavia today.” I began, and Lilac immediately took her seat next to me.

“You met Octavia?” She asked.

“Yes. She looks exactly like I want her to.” I set the papers aside carefully. “She didn't dress flashy, and depression seems to have taken the be

    ALPHA JEREMY'S POV."Why am I the only one being blamed?" She asked, and I turned to her sharply. Was she actually saying that? Did she mean I was also to blame? That was definitely what she was trying to imply. "Why are you the only one being blamed? Is there another childbearing Luna in this castle? Or are you trying to say Alpha Jeremy should wed another due to your incapability to produce an heir?" Elder Martin asked, looking at her with irritation playing in his eyes.No." She said, fiercely. "Do you want to go for a test? Do you want to see which one of us actually has the fault? When we do, and it comes out that you're the foolish barren one, you will pack your things, and leave my Palace." I said, and her eyes widened in horror. She tried to speak, but words failed her.Finally, she took a deep breath, and spoke."It… I never intended to…""You don't need to worry about publicity. I'll make it quiet." I added, with anger, and her lips quivered. She held her hands together, a

    ALPHA JEREMY’S POV.I choked so hard that the maids were forced to give me some water. Athena stood there staring at me with her brown eyes, judging me with every second. How could…? I couldn’t believe it. Why was Athena here? How had Tristan come to marry her? I had searched for her for months, so what was she doing here? How could Athena be the Luna of Tristan’s Kingdom? How could she…?Wait… I looked up into her brown eyes, and saw it was staring directly into mine.She… she… she could see?Her eyeballs followed mine as they moved, and in them was wrath. Cold wrath directed at me. How could this be? How could that happen? Why would she buy my assets? Why would Mrs. Lockwood be Athena!? If felt like I was going through a mental breakdown, trying to wrap everything around my head, and make complete sense of it. It felt like I was going crazy. All my plans had gone down the drain. How could I seduce her if she was Athena? No, no, no, I was missing the whole point of it.Why had I

  • Wanted By The Alphas    No Way

    ATHENA'S POV.When Aiden's cry split the air, along with the others, it felt like my heart was being wrenched apart. I had heard him cry a thousand times, but for some reason, him crying when I was about to leave seemed like the worst he'd ever cried.He looked miserable, and so sad, compared to the other days when he cried for totally normal things. Aiden stretched out his hands for me to carry, and tears filled my ears. One of the women picked him up, and began to rock, and move him around, but he fought against her seriously. He pushed her away with the little strength in his littler hands, and kicked against her."He'll be fine. Babies are prone to crying when taken to a childcare center for the first time, or when they're separated from their parents." Mrs. Lenoir explained, looking at Aiden with a smile."So what do we do if he keeps on crying?" I asked, trying to stop my eyes from watering. "When you leave, he'll calm down. He'll cry for a while, wishing you returned, but with

    ATHENA'S POV.A week after Alpha Jeremy had left the Palace in hysteria over the fact that he would continued to be punished, things felt a little weird. I had executed my revenge on him, but I didn't feel that sweet feeling I had expected to feel. Instead, that day, I had cried in my room, and had refused to let anyone come in. It was only when I heard Aiden's voice that I opened my door for him. Why had he bothered making my life hard? What was the use of it? What did he actually gain from it? I never expected the moon goddess to actually fight for me. Hearing him say that had been really good. It had felt nice. Someone had been enraged when he was treating me like trash.And that someone had decided to stand up for me. "Miss," Lilac called, as she knocked on my door gently. "Yes?" I turned around, and she came in."It's time to pick Aiden.""Oh!" I said, getting up, and a wide smile spread on my face. "Just give me a second." I said, fishing my wardrobe for a coat. I found a r

I had thought I'd come to love and accept her with time— that time v0uld forge a deep bond between us, but no. Time didn't do anything good to Lorrie and me. It only made it worse. It got to a point where I could not bear to see her face, or hear her discussing vain things. Everything she said from her mouth simply seemed wrong. It was like we were so far apart that we'd never catch up.My marriage felt like hell, and so many times I wanted to end it. Lorrie's father seemed to care less since she was already married, and anytime I tried to give a little complaint on Lorrie's outrageous behaviour which didn't sit well with me; he waved it off as a problem for newlyweds. Unfortunately, being married for over a year didn't sound like newlyweds to me.Due to that, I had decided not to think of him, or give his opinions much thought.

    LORRIE'S POV. Xander and I walked through the alley laughing at a joke I had just told. We had shopped heavily, but he had insisted he could carry it all by himself. In short, Xander was carrying fifteen shopping bags. He had found a way to pin a few around him, and it had been funny, but looking at it, it seemed adorable."I'm glad we finally ran. That was just the last straw. I never thought he'd harm me. He's a lunatic." I said, thinking of how my head had hurt when those ceramics had smashed on my head."Is your head all healed?" He asked, looking at my hair, and I shook my head to show I was all fine."Come on, it's been a week already." I said, pushing him with my hip, and he staggered with the weight of all the shopping bags, and I laughed. "You're not even that strong." "Try carrying all these." He retorted.We stopped at a grocery store next, and I made sure I carried all the grocery bags, even though he insisted on carrying them.Xander and I had fled to the least place Ra

    LORRIE'S POV.For some reason, I got stuck, and couldn't do a single thing. My thoughts were running wild, and it seemed like I was going to go crazy. It was really Athena. The woman standing in front of me in the fancy red suit was Athena!Was I seeing something wrong? Was I dreaming? My heart began to beat faster. I had no cause to be scared, but just by realizing she could see, my mind was turned upside down. Athena… Blind Athena could see. I couldn't deny that she looked scarier when she knew exactly what she was looking at. Those brown eyes had gained a living beauty to them.My lips ran dry, and I couldn't form words. She stared at me continuously, giving me space to take everything in. I looked at her from head to toe, and couldn't believe the finery she was dressed in.White satin shirt with a bow collar, red suit jacket hung on her shoulders gently, matched with red palazzo suit pants, with heels that even I couldn't afford. Her hair was full of pretty pins, and on her nec

  • Wanted By The Alphas    Anonymous

    ALPHA RAGAS' POVFor days, I drank myself to stupor. I couldn't believe Lorrie, nor could I believe Xander. How could the both of them run with my money? Lorrie had done a lot of things that angered me, but this was too far. I never expected her to go as far as that. How could she steal my money and run? Why in the world would she do that?Her father had refused to see me since the past week. That was shameless. He couldn't take responsibility for his daughter's doings. Thinking about Xander was the worst. I trusted him with everything. Had he and Lorrie been laughing behind my back? Could they have done more harm that I wasn't aware of?But Xander had been so loyal. How could he do such a thing? It was so hard to believe. I really couldn't see Xander betraying me. Why would he betray me? Or maybe it was just me who had ignored all the signs. He had been particularly careful whenever it came to Lorrie, and the times I had thought seriously of divorcing her, he had advised me not to.

    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
