TRISTAN'S POV.It seemed like everything stopped moving immediately Matilda informed us of Gary's death. I couldn't believe it. Gary? Dead? There was no way I would believe Gary was dead. I had seen Gary the previous day, and he was healthy and jumping. How could Gary be dead?Gary was one of the men I considered as my grandfather. He was one of the oldest elders in the pack and was happily married to Dorothy—a quiet, calm and sweet woman.Gary had been like a father to both my father and Athena's father, and he had doted on me. When I got into trouble, he always stood up for me, and when I had problems, I always talked to him, before anyone else.When my father died, Gary comforted me. I had acted strong in the presence of everyone, but I had cried with him for so many nights. Gary, who was always laughing, and always had a joke or a story to tell. I had grown to take care of his every need, even though he didn't ask for much. He was always bothering me.“Tristan. When will you hav

ATHENA'S POV.My eyes flew open immediately Alpha Jeremy's claws dug into my belly, and I sat up in bed, with my arms wrapped around my belly. What was that? Why would I have such a dream?Did Alpha Jeremy hear of me? No, it couldn't be possible. Not many people knew me back when I was blind. I doubted they'd recognize me, since I already found my style of clothes and appearance. I was no longer the Alpha's mate draped in dull clothes, so no one could have accidentally seen me and reported to Alpha Jeremy. Moreover, he had not come for the wedding, so he had not seen me. Maybe I was just feeling uneasy. It could also have something to do with the plans of revenge I was harboring. I wiped sweat off my forehead, and leaned against the headboard, with my eyes closed.The dream had felt so real; My hands were shaking violently, from the fear of facing Alpha Jeremy unprepared. If at all I wanted to face him, it had to be when I was ready with my plan to take revenge on him.I got up f

OCTAVIA'S POV.Things had become a little steady ever since Athena left. I was having the best time of my life, and everyone respected me more, since there was no one to share the respect with me. I had things going in the right order they ought to go, and I shopped almost daily. Alpha Jeremy and I were beginning to make serious preparations for our wedding ceremony, and he had put me in charge of managing the finance for his companies. He trusted me, and I liked things the way they were. Although, he had become even more busy. He kept on chasing the pack that had almost killed his beloved beta, and that made him a little detached, but that was fine.In the very least, I didn't need to share his love with anyone else.“Ma'am. Do you like this?” One of the employees asked, and I turned to see a stunning blazer dress, the design of which I had never seen before. How I loved blazer dresses. “Wow.” I let out softly, touching the fabric to feel its quality. “It's a limited edition. I

ATHENA'S POV.I had thought I wouldn't be able to sleep anymore that night, but I did. Lost in dreams of people dying, pain and death, throughout the night, I finally rose from my bed.The rays of the sun spilled beautifully through my window, extending towards the door, and they spread their warmth in the room.I got up from my bed, and went to the bathroom first. I had to be prepared to leave the house should Tristan not be back yet.Searching for him was a must. I had to see him. I didn't even bother with warming up the water, I used it cold, and although the chill was merciless, I could withstand it. After bathing, I picked a simple dress I could throw over my head, blow-dried my hair, and picked out a pair of flat shoes that would be comfortable for my feet.After combing my hair, and packing it at the base of my neck, I pulled on the white cotton dress, with a pattern of lovely sunflowers on it. I slipped my feet into my shoes, and left my room.The maids all bowed to me, but

ATHENA'S POV.I began to feel cold, and scared. I didn't even know whether it was day or night because the forest was just so dark. The trees had prevented the light from shining in. Every part of my body was alert with the feel of eyes on me. I was supposed to keep on running, but I was loaded with apples, and their weight was quite a lot. I began to walk as fast as I could manage, tripping several times, as I did. My heart was pounding, and my lips kept on running dry. My fingers were trembling, and threatened to let go of the hem of my hoodie, which I had used to hold up the apples. In fact, it wasn't just my fingers. Every bone in my body seemed to tremble. My knees buckled continuously, and threatened to give way and throw me to the floor. The unknown thing, which I felt was following me in the woods, still followed me, and it felt like it was going to strike in moments. I stopped, and looked towards the bushes, taking in quick breaths. The rustle came again, and I took a s
