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.What was he saying? Did he have any idea what he was saying? I couldn't even begin to wonder what could make him say such.Things were getting hot and intense, but he suddenly told me I had slept with someone under his roof.I could not even begin to explain his actions. Was it a setup? What kind of setup was that? Was there someone in my room that I hadn't noticed, who was giving him signals? Or did someone tell him that on his way to my room and he forgot?His actions were totally unexplainable."Alpha Jeremy. I don't understand." I croaked out."What? You don't understand? You have the audacity to lie to me? Who is it!? Tell me, who the hell is it!?" He bellowed, and I began to get even more confused.He couldn't be joking, so why would he suddenly start accusing me of sleeping with someone in his castle?"Why would I do that, Alpha Jeremy? You are mistaken.""My own mate sleeping with someone else right under my nose…" he said with his voice shaking with fury, then s
ATHENA'S POVI was filled with dread, and cold sweats popped up around my forehead. If the doctor also guessed I could be pregnant, does it mean I could be pregnant?No, no. That's not possible. The doctor only guessed, but he had not confirmed. I didn't want to get on Alpha Jeremy's bad side.As I was blind, whatever punishment he could give to me, could be worse because of my situation. No one really liked to be around blind people, neither did they feel comfortable with us.So, I could even irritate him more, staring at him with my weird-looking eyes that couldn't see a thing.Suddenly, a gasp of shock parted my lips as a memory flashed before my eyes. I recalled that Ragas had forcefully slept with me before Alpha Jeremy brought me to his Palace.No, it can't be. I shook my head in disapproval. I can't be with Ragas' child. Moon goddess, please don't make my situation worse.I became even more scared to wait for the doctor's report, but I couldn't run from this place as it would s
