Wanted By The Alphas Truth Sneaks Out
ATHENA'S POV.I couldn't believe my eyes. His body was still warm, so why…“Bronch.” I called again, shaking his shoulder. He still didn't move. “Bronch!” I called harder, shaking him vigorously. A sleeping person should have woken up by then. I just couldn't bring myself to face the fact that he could be gone, just like Earnshaw, and Gary. Bronch, who had come to the Palace the previous day with dear Dorothy to see Tristan. He had smiled at me and joked with my baby, who probably couldn't hear a word of what he was saying.How could he suddenly be gone, just like that? No. He was probably in a deep sleep. I tried to fool myself because even if I felt bad, I didn't want to imagine how Tristan would feel. No, he couldn't lose someone else again. He couldn't. How was he going to cope with the loss? Even though I could see his chest clearly stiff and not rising, even though I could easily put my finger to his nose to check if he was breathing, I didn't. It was only after two minut
Wanted By The Alphas The Reason
ATHENA'S POV.It was so difficult to believe. All this had happened because of something casual me and Tristan had done four months ago. It had been the room I had stepped in. Why did I have to step in that room? Why did I have to look in the mirror?It was then I recalled the beautiful woman I had seen in the mirror briefly. It all came back to me in a flash. Back then, I had said to myself that I was seeing things, but looking back at it, I had really seen a woman in the mirror. “You mean the story's true? The story of three Alphas who fought each other over a woman and successfully killed each other?” Tristan asked, looking like he couldn't believe it. “Did you think we were joking when we told you about the story?” Lady Matilda asked, looking worried. “I mean… Athena and I went there a lot of times back when we were younger, and… and nothing like this ever happened.” Tristan countered. “That was when you were kids. Now, you're a grown Alpha, and you went with a woman you fancy
Wanted By The Alphas Correcting The Mistake
ATHENA'S POV.“So how do we stop them?” I heard myself ask, desperately. I couldn't touch the sandwiches in front of me. I was too baffled to do anything. “We will find a way. You shouldn't have to worry about anything. It's bad for your baby.” Lady Mira said, placing a hand on mine. “I know, but I can't just sit still. All this is partly my fault. Only if I hadn't…”“Stop.” Augustus said, firmly. “The past is in the past, and we can't correct it by regretting it. There's nothing more we can do about it. It's done already. You were ignorant, and could have never imagined such things would happen to us just by stepping into a disarranged room. “If you knew this would happen, things would have happened differently because you wouldn't step into the room in the first place. So, stop judging yourself, and taking the blame. No one is to blame, so why should you find blame and put it on yourself? “Do you think Gary, Bronch or Earnshaw would want you thinking this way? Things have happen
Wanted By The Alphas Myth Becomes Real
TRISTAN'S POV. As I watched Athena go, I couldn't help but imagine myself going back to that day. I would have been content with just finding yarn in the barley field, and going to the beach. I would have never entered the house in the first place. That was where everything had gone wrong. The elders all looked worried, and when they were worried, it wasn't a good thing. I had never believed in ghosts, but I knew they weren't to be messed with. They were mostly vengeful souls, who couldn't leave the world due to some reason or the other. They became stuck. I closed my eyes, and tried to tell myself Athena would be fine. I was just getting too worked up. A minute later, my mind was thinking things again. The elders were unable to guarantee her safety. What if Athena ended up angering them in some way or the other? It didn't help things that she was carrying a child with her.What if one of them decided to go into the child? Those movies my friends' wives were obsessed with, always
Wanted By The Alphas Sera
ATHENA'S POV.The features on my face began to shift and change into that of someone else.Fear gripped my heart, and I was practically forcing myself not to turn and run.Slowly, a new face emerged, after my features had been expanded and minimized where needed. It was the beautiful woman standing in front of me once more. Her long black hair hung around her shoulders beautifully, and her brown eyes were sparkling. They were eyes that would make someone else wish to stare into. She was in the same clothes as I was, and she parted her lips slightly to speak, but didn't. Instead, she smiled. It was a beautiful smile, but I didn't understand why I was scared. Maybe because I knew she was dead? Then, reality began to hit me. I was facing a person who had been long dead, and could probably have no good intentions for me. I was in the room and there was a possibility I couldn't escape even if I wanted to. Great. I swallowed hard, and held on to my dress at the sides, trying to stop
Wanted By The Alphas Pulled
ATHENA'S POV. It was a long letter, and seemed to convey someone's deep emotions, but I gave a good guess that it was from the Alpha she loved. The Alpha who wanted, but couldn't have her, due to the way things were run back then. “Found it?” She asked, and I looked at her. She was stuck in that mirror. Maybe if she read the letter, then she'd be cut from the threads that still bound her to the earth. I got to my feet, not caring to dust off the dirt that had accumulated on my clothes. “Tired, already? Actually, there's no bracelet. I simply wanted to test you to see if you were worth pleading for.” She said, and I looked around.I had nearly torn the whole place down, searching for a bracelet that didn't exist, but it had all been for nothing?It had been frustrating in my condition, but could I really get mad at her? Even a tiny bit? No. “So, there was never a bracelet in the first place.” I said, trying to make my voice sound even, without any traces of being frustrated.“Ther
Wanted By The Alphas Nostalgia
ATHENA'S POV.“Sera!” I called again, trying to stop her from pulling me, but she didn't. She pulled harder, and it seemed like the mirror began to suck me in. I screamed, but no sound came out of me. It was a silent scream. Being pulled through the mirror felt like what being pulled through jelly would feel like. I felt fear rub through my body as I fell onto the floor. The breeze ruffled my hair, wrapping it around my face. The breeze was chilly, and made goosebumps line my skin immediately.I looked up and saw Sera looking down at me. She was so real. She could touch me. If she wanted to kill me, she could.I gasped, and scrambled away from her, but she didn't move. “Please… please don't do this to me. Please take me back. I'm begging you, Sera. I'm begging you. Please, I read your letter for you, didn't I? I found the letter you'd have never found without me.” I pleaded, rubbing my palms together. Sera didn't say a word. She simply stared at me blankly. The breeze blew my hair
Wanted By The Alphas The Horror
ATHENA'S POV.The living Sera bounced down the stairs, and went to plop down on the sofa, next to her friend.“You came so late. Why?” She asked, in a sweet voice, as she combed her wavy black hair with her hands. “I'm late? Didn't you just take your bath? I smell roses on you.” Her friend said, leaning towards her, and sniffing her skin.“Rudolph gave it to me like a month ago, but I didn't use it.”“Yes, Alpha Rudolph. Aren't you going to speak to him? I hear these days he looks like a ghost haunting the Palace.” Her friend said, placing her legs on the sofa, and handing Living Sera the sapphire bracelet. “I'm planning to leave. I'll leave with you, Matilda.” Living Sera replied, slipping the bracelet on.“But I'll return.” The friend replied, immediately.Matilda? Could she be??? Lady Matilda? My eyes widened, as I began to see the striking resemblance. The hair, the eyes. The smile. Wow… she was so beautiful when she was younger. “Yes, but I won't be returning with you.”“Why?”
