ATHENA'S POV“What? What do you mean by we are in a danger hut?” I asked, beginning to fear that we had just gotten from frying pan to fire.“This is a hut where crazy crocodiles stay.” Daniel responded in a low tone.“Crazy? Why are they called crazy?”“They sleep deeply, but the moment you wake them up with noise, they would track and hunt you until you're out of the forest. And that can make it difficult for us to focus on our destination here, and the little things we are to take note of. So, don't make noise.” I nodded my head, and pursed my lips as tight as I could. There was no way I would want a bask of crocodiles after me. Not when I couldn't see, which would also be a heavy burden on Daniel.“As soon as I perceive that the monster is gone, then we can make our next move.” Daniel spoke, and I nodded in response.About what seemed like thirty minutes passed before Daniel said it was okay for us to leave now. We carefully walked out of the danger hut, and ensured we attracted
OCTAVIA'S POVI was a bit worried about how Alpha Jeremy had been acting worried. I figured out why he had been this way, and it burdened my heart that I wasn't able to help him in the least way.He wouldn't even accept sex because he was too worried. Then I received a text, and I checked it.“I have a solution to the problem growing in the palace. But I will take something in return. If you are interested in knowing further, come to the address attached at the end of this text.”I became so curious, and hurried out of the house after having my bath, then went to the address.It was a mansion, and the moment I was ushered in, I discovered it was our enemy pack's abode.As soon as their leader walked to the sitting room, I decided to turn back, hoping that I would be allowed to go scot-free.“Where are you going, Octavia? Don't you want to put a smile on your husband's face anymore?”“You are our enemy, and I shouldn't involve myself with you. You are the ones behind Henry being uncons
ATHENA'S POVMy eye lids fluttered open as I gained my consciousness back. It felt as if I had been out for long, but there was no way I could find out.I guess the old man must be really tricky. Since he stays in a place like this, obviously, he was someone we ought to be wary of.It meant he could have sent Daniel out to get him an apple because he wanted to capture me.By the way, where was I? Right there, I realized that there was too much heat where I was, and when I tried to sit up, my head hit something wooden.I became alert, and used my hands to feel my surrounding. No matter how far my hands wanted to reach, there was always a wooden covering, restricting them like I was placed in a box.Hold on. Could it be that I was placed in a coffin? A gasp of shock escaped my mouth as I used my hands to trace the shape and confirmed that I was truly in a coffin.Fear gripped me and it became a bit difficult to breathe. I wondered if he has buried me deep into the ground.Oh, no. That m
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
