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?

  • 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?”

    ATHENA'S POV.“What?” I asked. Sera didn't reply. She simply began to walk away. I looked at the dead Alphas sprawled on the floor, and went after Sera immediately.“I thought you'd plead with them to stop, not tell them to ask what they want from me. What if I can't do it?” She pulled open the door, and left, leaving me baffled, as to why she wasn't replying. That wasn't what I had expected. She ought to plead with them to stop all they were doing, not ask they what they wanted. What if what they wanted wasn't something I could give?I followed Sera out on the streets, where she continued to walk, without stopping. “Sera. There ought to be something more you can do for me. This won't end well. Is there a way you can just beg them to stop? I thought you said your voice soothes them?” I asked, but realized she really wasn't going to say more. Since she wasn't ready to say more to me, I decided to face my fate. She looked like she was done talking.We kept on walking across the str

    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

  • Wanted By The Alphas    As Deep As The Sea

    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
