All Chapters of A Deadly Obsession: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

‘We need to find an Alpha and a pack, Andreas. I can’t continue to be a rogue. We’re pack animals. This is killing me,’ Ares says dejectedly, as we run through the trees at the back of the Moonstone pack territory. ‘I know, buddy. But it’s not safe. We can’t return home, and joining a pack puts them in danger. So instead, we need to concentrate on finding out who attacked our pack and why. And we need to find the other lycans that are like us.’‘I know,’ he sighs. ‘Do you think Athena is still here?’‘Noah said that she left the motel with the pack Beta, so I assume they came back here. Hopefully, the old man at reception gave her our number.’ ‘Do you think she’ll call?’‘If I was her, I probably wouldn’t with what’s been happening.’Ares stops suddenly, his hackles raised. ‘Someone is coming. If their warriors see us coming this way, they will attack,’ Ares warns. ‘We need to get off their territory. Over there, up the hill a bit,’ I instruct Ares. He turns in that direction, runni

I take the remote from Jason and change the screen back to Doctor Shields. I stare at him, trying to get a read on him. His arms are crossed as he leans back in the chair with a slight smirk on his lips.“He doesn’t even seem concerned that he’s been caught,” I say.“I need to call the Elder council. They need to know about the banishments,” Alpha Peter says.I turn to look at him, and all I see is defeat in his eyes. “Please, Alpha. Let me question him. He might slip up talking to me. I can play on his fear of the chosen,” I plead with him.He glares at me, the defeat in his eyes replaced with anger. “No. You have no place in that room. This is my pack, remember that.” He says with a growl.“I know this is your pack, Alpha. I meant no disrespect,” I say cooly, holding his gaze.Nick clears his throat. “Alpha, we need to tell you something,” he says.“What now?” Alpha Peter asks, turning his angry gaze to Nick.“Athena and I went for a run before the meeting, and Athena picked up on an

Andreas P.O.V “Goddess, he’s a heavy bastard,” I say, straining to get the doctor into the back of the small car. “I’ll give you a hand,” my best friend, Noah, says as he opens the passenger door on the driver’s side to pull the doctor in from the other side. After a few moments, we finally get the doctor in the back of Noah’s car, and I double-check the ropes around his wrists and ankles to ensure he’s secure. Closing the doors, I get into the passenger’s side, and Noah gets behind the wheel. “So, Blood-Moon territory?” Noah asks as he starts his car. He goes to turn his headlights on, but I put my hand on his arm to stop him. “No lights yet,” I say. “Yeah, head toward Blood-Moon. They’ll let us know later where they want us to take him.” Noah pulls onto the road from where I met him on the outskirts of the Moonstone territory, and I stay alert, adrenaline keeping me going as I keep an eye out for anyone who may have followed me. After half an hour, I’m happy that no one is fo

24 hours later I gaze out the window, taking in the sight of snow covering everything as far as the eye can see. I never thought I’d miss the snow, but it’s a welcome sight after a month in the desert, and I’m relieved to be home. “Athena?” Ryna says, trying to get my attention. “Hmmm?” I say absently, turning away from the window. “Your phone is ringing,” Ry tells me. “Oh!” I say, quickly grabbing it from the seat. “Hello?” I answer it, not recognizing the number. “Hey, it’s Noah. Can you put me on speaker?” He asks. I put the phone on speaker and lean forward between Ryna and Gino in the front. “Go ahead,” I say to him. “Have you noticed the black sedan behind you?” he asks. We all say “no” at the same time. “I’ve been following you for about an hour, and this sedan has been following you the entire time,” he says. “Why are you following us? Where’s Andreas?” I ask. “He’s at the warehouse with Gamma Alex. He wanted me to make sure you were okay,” Noah explains. I smile a

“Athena? Athena!” I hear my mom yelling at me and softly tapping my face. “Mmmm,” I mutter. “What happened?” I ask. “You fainted and fell off the stool,” she says, her voice filled with worry. I sit straight up, panicking. “Where’s my phone?” I ask, looking around the room, finding the warriors I ran with now filling the kitchen. “It’s here,” Ryna says, handing it to me. “What the hell happened, Athena?” I snatch the phone from his grasp and quickly search for the video, but the message has vanished. “They killed him!” I yell hysterically. “Who?” my mom asks, shock filling her voice. I open my call log to find the number the video came from, but the call log has been wiped. I shake uncontrollably, “ANDREAS!” I yell, tears streaming down my face again. “WHERE THE FUCK IS THE VIDEO?! WHO DELETED IT?” I cry, searching around the room for the culprit. “No one deleted anything, Athena.” Ryna crouches down in front of me and places his hands on my shoulders. “Athena, focus. What vid
