ATHENA'S POV.I woke up a second later, and could hear the low pitter-patter of the rain on the windows. It was raining. When was the last time I heard the sound of rain? Or maybe I should say, when was the last time I saw rain?I didn't even remember what the atmosphere of rain looked and felt like. Next to me, Tristan slept, although I could tell he wasn't having the best of dreams at the moment. I swung my feet off the bed, and went to the window. Upon pushing it open, a breeze blew in, and it had the soft rain smell with it. The smell of packed earth, and cold.A few drops landed on my skin, and I looked up at the sky. It was a dull gray, and the clouds moved around slowly, and heavily. Were they also mourning for Earnshaw?Could they be whispering their words of condolence?It was in the morning, but it could easily be mistaken for late evening. As I kept on watching, I felt the sky was remarkably beautiful with its hues of gray. Yes. My favorite weather is the fall. I was s

ATHENA'S POV.“Y…your car? How… How can this be your car? Your car? You?” The second blonde asked.“Are you… are you playing a joke right now? You were banned from the pack. No rich pack would take you in, so how… How do you own a car and all these things?” The mean one asked. “We're doomed.” The black-haired girl whispered, looking at the car, which they had damaged. Mr. Gladys held out his phone, and I took it. “Do you want me to go on, ma'am?” He asked, and I nodded. “You smashed the window of Miss Athena's car, and broke the side mirror. Here's the cost as presented. For the cost of the window you smashed, you will need to get another one, which should be $530 as stated here. For the installation, and clean up, it's likely to cost you $400, but the price may vary depending on the installation company. “They would have to see the car first, and determine the specific price, so you have to keep, at the very least, $400 in mind. You also have to pay for a rental car, as Miss can

ATHENA'S POV.My head rang with pain as the noise continued, and it was so difficult to listen to what Tristan was saying. The image of the bloodied man kept on flashing in my head, getting closer and closer in my mind's eye. He was turning…. He was turning… I didn't want to see his face. No! I didn't want to. I could feel myself falling off the chair, but numerous hands caught me. My eyes opened and closed, and I saw Tristan rushing over to me. The servants lifted me, and began to take me to my room, while Tristan followed, and somewhere in that ruckus; I lost consciousness, slipping quietly into a land of dreams. I had been scared of sleeping, as I feared I would see the bloodied man in my dream, but luckily, I didn't see him.Instead, I saw Lorrie, Alpha Ragas and all the people who had made life harder for me falling at my feet, and begging for my forgiveness. It was a blissful dream, and when I woke up, it was at night. My head didn't hurt, nor did I see images of a man covere

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

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
