All Chapters of Arranged to the Alpha Prince: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

NERO’S POVI almost lost it back there. That filthy rogue had his hands on Athena and it took me all of my will power not to snap his neck for touching my wife.“You never regarded her as your wife, or mate, do you not hate her anymore?” my wolf asked and it was his voice that snapped me back to the reality that Athena needed to be taken out.Why did I want her then?I do hate her but damn it if I didn’t want to have a taste of her again.I had to watch Zavier do all the talking because I knew I couldn’t go through with it. And her begging me like that, it was the most heart-breaking thing I had ever seen. For some reason Zara’s death didn’t hurt as much as seeing Athena beg me not to have her taken away. But it was something that had to be done. Only after her disappearance would my Zara have peace and me be finally able to forgive her.She had fear unlike anything I had ever seen but so was the hate written in them. But what did I expect from someone I had allowed myself to hate?I

ATHENA’S POVRelief, that’s all I felt whilst floating in the water. Nothing about it was calm, if anything I should be watching out for water falls but here I was, glad that no only were my hands free, I was away from the rogues.I stayed in the water for what seemed like hours until I saw from afar something that caught my attention – The pack, the Palace.A smile broke on my face, no wonder I didn’t feel like stepping out of the water, I must have felt connected to it somehow. It could have also been because I didn’t want to risk being followed by them.Realising the river must have been connected to the one in the pack, I said a silent prayer to the moon goddess for looking out for me. This was the first time things were turning in my favor and it was a good feeling to see it happen.The sun had set a while ago and it was already dark, I wondered how long I had been in the water. I spotted a branch and while the river flowed I grabbed onto it before pulling myself out of the water

ATHENA’S POVIt’s been a few days since the rogue incident and Nero eating me up like the food he craved. To him it was some sort of punishment and it was, but it was humiliating knowing that he could control my body like that. What’s worse was not being able to stop it even with the anger fuelling my body.I repulsed every thought of him that crossed my mind and I hated most the stupid butterflies that erupted when those thoughts came. He was making my life miserable but why couldn’t he just leave my mind alone?So for anytime I was about to leave my room, I made sure to steer clear from places he was and locked my room whenever I was in it.I got dressed and went downstairs for breakfast, I knew it was time for me to stop hiding in my room and making excuses instead of joining them at the table. I had shown Nero how strong I was and how I wasn’t going to let him put me down easily. But as I sat and waited for them, my heart thumped knowing he was going to be at the table as well.I

ATHENA’S POVI couldn’t understand what made Nero sour this morning. But I knew it had to do with me. The fact that he hit me was more than a wakeup call for me to kill whatever feeling I had left for him.What I wasn’t ready for was seeing Zavier but it was to be expected that he’d be at the training ground. He was Nero’s best friend and they did almost everything together after all.I was too stunned to move when I saw him. I already knew the something bad was going to happen, with them together they always had things planned.I was even more horrified to hear Nero tell me that I was to be a punching bag and not block any blow Zavier was going to throw at me.“He’s going to kill me you know that.” I exclaimed my heart racing painfully. I was scared for my life.“Well then it’s about time that happened don’t you think? I mean it would be fair for him to be the one to take your life like you took his sister’s. You should be glad that I’m not the one doing it.”Nero answered casually l

NERO’S POVMy heart tugged in my chest painfully as I watched Zavier have his feast of punches on Athena. As always, I had to pin whatever was making me feel that way for her down. I didn’t want to care and I hated that a part of me did.When he was done, he and I left her on the floor unconscious. It took everything in me not to run up to her and check if she was alive.But I had to remind myself that she deserved every bit of what she was getting. I was going to allow Zavier do anything he wished with her except take her.During dinner when she didn’t show, my parents questioned me on her whereabouts where I had to pretend that I didn’t know where she was. I didn’t know if they were just respecting my wishes or they just stopped caring about her, either way I was glad she wasn’t getting pampered by them anymore nor did they pester me about where she could be.Things were back to the way they were supposed to be before she came into our lives and I was enjoying it.Once dinner ended
