Gavin Montgomery's pov I had been overjoyed about bringing Athena to the cottage until Gideon appeared. I knew instinctively that it was about the high king in one regard or another, and when my mate ran off to the balcony, I was told what brought him. “Aspen cannot have your daughter. You need to give up your throne, hide, and keep her away from him at all costs…besides, I think the female could potentially be mine,” Gideon asserted, and I looked at him with disbelief. “I'm not going to give my crown to my eldest. I don't know which one of the twins came first, and either way, the other one will feel cheated. Plus, I want Athena to be given the title of queen officially. She deserves it,” I huffed. Rubbing his eyes the assassin was gritting his teeth. “Aspen is a cruel and crazy fuck with too high of expectations! He will break your child’s spirit and not allow her to become the woman she's meant to become,” he stressed firmly and I gave him a stoic glare. “It's true, Aspen n

Athena Blackstone’s pov We left the cottage and were currently on the ATV heading back to the house. I was resting my cheek on Gavin's back as he drove down the dirt path. “Are you excited to get wed?” My wolf asked me. “Sure, I will be official afterward and Gavin's Luna queen,” I answered her. “I just wish Hazel was still here to be my bridesmaid and my dad to hand me off,” I added sullenly. “Ask Anton to hand you off, or Styx and Remy and Linda can be both your bridesmaids,” Bria suggested, and I grinned slightly. As we pulled up to the front of the house, I spied a white and black speckled large owl perched on the roof looking down at us, then immediately got a chill. “Is that Aspen?” I questioned Bria and she hummed before saying possibly. Narrowing my eyes at the feathered creature, I watched it tilt its head, spread its wings, and fly off toward the forest. “Is he able to transform into anything?” “Yes, he has that gift from his ancestors,” Bria sighed and I huffed

Leora Montgomery’s pov After the housekeeper showed me to the room that would be mine I went to the living room area within it and sat on the chair. Running my fingers through my hair I felt conflicted over what the Moon Goddess had told me. My wolf, Ivory, was telling me that Aspen was a bad person and marked me when I was growing inside my mother's womb. “I have not thought about that stranger. I find Gideon to be very handsome though. He is muscular and tough, but he is timid considering his huge size and behaves standoffish …am I not attractive enough for him? Perhaps I will feel the same way for this Aspen fellow,” I said softly and heard her growling at me. “You will choose your real mate and he will become the high king, Leora! You must make your choice wisely or you will suffer horrendously. Plus, the Goddess expects you too… oh, never mind, you already know what is expected of you,” she hissed. “I am drawn to Gideon, so calm yourself, I desire him, wolf. I'm certain

Athena Montgomery's pov Sitting at the kitchen table, I noticed that my arm hairs had sprung up in warning, and I narrowed my eyes. My first thought was my daughter, and I quickly rose and told Gavin that Leora was in trouble as I ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs. Going straight to her bedroom, the door flung open, and Gideon stepped out. I could tell by the look on his face that my child had been taken. “Why didn't you stop him?!” I screamed at him. “I couldn't! I'm not the one who has to end him. It's Leora’s destiny, not mine,” he said roughly and shoved past me. Turning toward him I huffed. “You're HER mate! Not Aspen!” I shouted out at him and watched his shoulders stiffen as he turned and glared at me. “None of this would have happened if you'd taken the warnings you were given to heart and not pissed off the High King,” he growled. Taken aback I gasped at his words. Was I the one responsible for all of this?! My bottom lip trembled as I spoke my next words, “

Leora Montgomery's pov “Hello once again.” I turned to see the servant Brandy and smiled. “Are you going to be my lady in waiting,” I asked her and she nodded. “I'd be honored if you want me to take the position,” she said softly and I nodded and told her certainly. Beaming, she looked happy and relaxed when I told her that she could just call me Leora. “Sorry for leaving you with Mister Fussy Pants,” she sighed, and I dismissed it with a wave. “That pervert is no longer anyone's concern. Ah, would you show me around this huge place?” “Yes, I would be delighted to,” she replied with a grin and gestured for me to follow after her. She pointed out across a field and told me that was where airplanes and helicopters landed then she took me to the back to show me the gardens that were like a labyrinth. “I'm surprised that there's something beautiful here,” I mumbled softly and she smirked. “His excellence insisted that he be surrounded by the most eye-catching items
