I was in utter disbelief when I saw her, looking more elegant than before. Her hairs grow long but the dominance surrounding her never faded.“You… are alive?” I asked vaguely.Clinging onto Darius’s arms, blinking in confusion at her while she merely smirked at my reaction.“Yes. Alive and well.” Nodding her heels clicked against the floor, approaching us gradually while turning her glance to King Hadrian.“I don't understand… how..?” I asked, swallowing hard, turning to Darius and back to her.“I couldn’t understand, they told me you had died, I was accused of it then how..?” I asked, narrowing my eyes with bewilderment.But displeased with my reaction, King Hadrian turned to me, frowning at me.“Are you deaf, Athena? I just told you she helped me in assassination.” He mocked, reminding me.But I was too lost in Darius’s words and my realizations that I failed to grasp the depth of his words. Janine was alive all along.“She was there all along.” King Hadrian scoffed but I was too
PAST.DARIUS ALFONSO.A tear rolled down my cheek, I was with Janine, curling my hands in a fist, gritting my teeth."Why did this happen to me?" I growled after finding Blue as my mate. She was on the ground with a graceful smirk over her lips, pushing her short hair behind."You are the first person I have seen who was depressed after meeting his mate." She teased me but I was not in the mood for it."What should I do? Why didn't you do anything?" I argued, holding my sides, pacing around with frustration.She scoffed, "I am not your babysitter. They are going to keep an eye on you. If they find out you are with a human- they will kill both of you.""I know. But, I don’t want to break Athena's heart. She is too fragile, Janine." I whispered desperately.I was afraid of her reaction, afraid to hurt her and I knew this bond would drown me in the end- which it did.Rising from the ground, she stared dead into my eyes."Do whatever you want but if my sister's heart breaks- so will your
After separating our paths with King Hadrian and doing the exchange, giving him his mate. We returned to the land of rogues.The place where no rules apply and you live happily.“There is your new home, guys, a place where a human and werewolf relationship is not forbidden. Where you can live happily.”Janine happily introduced to the enormous land, almost a community living in harmony.The proud work of Janine Becker. Blood Hunters.“You made it?” Athena asked in disbelief, glancing at her, not expecting she was capable of creating such a masterpiece.“Yes. The second I had to stain my hands with our parent’s blood, I swore to myself to create a world where such laws won’t exist. I have created this place for you guys, for us.” She nodded sorrowfully, curling her hands in a fist from powerlessness.“Janine.”Returning a sweet smile, Athena held her shoulder, giving it a stern squeeze. Sighing, she removed her hand and returned a beautiful toothy smile.“But, no more tears. This is yo
DARIUS ALFONSO. What is the worst feeling for an Alpha? Losing his Luna. And I lost mine. “No, no, no, don’t leave me like this, Blue. Stay. You can’t leave me like this.” Whispering desperately, I hugged the bloody body of my Luna closely. I denied it from the bottom of my soul but the sensation of our bond being broken and my mate losing her life in my very arms was extremely clear. I couldn’t save her. I was too late to save my Luna. “Shit, shit, shit, no, What will I do without you?” Our bond was breaking, my soul was screaming that I am losing my mate. My gray eyes filled with angry tears, my black hairs were messy, all over my face but I ignored my terrible condition and focused on her, constantly growling in rage. “Da.. rius..” She coughed up blood, holding my hand weakly in her soft one. She had barely any time left. I knew I was being punished for my sins. I was going to lose my Luna. “Blue…” I kissed the back of her palm, refusing to let her go, emitting s
ATHENA BECKER. “And I will kill you in the end.” “We will see who is going to die by who in the end but I swear I won’t lose this time. I will make you pay for each pain you have given me. This is only the start of your misery.” Mocking, my voice was still low and tempting but the glare in my eyes was clear. His one glimpse was outraging me. Devastated at the death of his fucking luna, he was about to kill me and that infuriated me. How dare he. I kept pointing my arrow at him, ready to release it if I must. If he will kill me, I will kill him. “Go where you belong.” I growled and the wolfbane on my arrow worked which immobilized him and he fell on the ground. Stopping us instantly, ending the fight for a moment. He was staggered by what happened but was left unable to move, shaking with the effect of it but that didn’t stop the glares and curses he sent in my direction. “What? Is it hurting?” I mocked, bending to his level, glaring down at his weak body with all my domina
His Majesty was sitting on his throne, one leg resting over the other, asserting his dominance while I was inclined on the steps from the throne. Instead of cleaning, I was staring at the arrow which contained Darius’ blood on it. Limitless unwanted thoughts began to rush inside my mind. ‘Why didn’t you demand justice for me, Darius? Where was this desperation and when I was in pain? Were we nothing-’ But, before I could drown in them, he dragged me out from my thoughts. “What are you planning to do next, Athena?” Blinking, I came to realize that I went into a haze with ponderings I wanted to neglect and lowered the arrow with dried blood. “I won’t do anything now. I will let him make his next move.” I informed calmly, curling my lips in a smirk darkly. Leaning forward to me with amusement, he raised his eyebrow. “Why?” “I only wanted to initiate the beginning of my resentment. Now I want to see what he can do to avenge his beloved Blue.” Chuckling to reflect all my impe
After hitting Darius where it hurts the most and satisfying my personal resentment, I returned back to the castle. It felt light, seeing him miserable was only pleasuring me for now. It was not hurting me in the slightest, it only revived old scars. And the urge to make him feel the same as I did burned. As I was walking down the corridor, humming to myself, Jax called me from behind. “Where were you?” He was not pleased with my disappearance, knowing where I must have gone. Stopping in my tracks, I sighed to regain my cold posture. “Nowhere. Just some errands.” I responded coldly, glancing over my shoulder. Coming closer, his voice went lower, narrowing his eyes in ire. “You went to see him, didn’t you?” He hissed in a whisper, looking here and there if someone was listening or not. “So what? I got permission from My Lord.” Shrugging my shoulders, I moved back, grimace affixed on my face, not liking his interference in my matter. “Why don’t you understand, Athena? Alp
DARIUS ALFONSO. After showing her that I could do anything if provoked- Which was highly unlikely of me but when she challenged me to touch her, I couldn’t resist it. To feel her skin once again I wanted to show her that I was not the one to be toyed with. “She shouldn’t challenge me of all people. I will see how long this courage will last.” I muttered under my breath. After my tiny confrontation with her, I went to see His Majesty to hear his decision which of course- would be in his toy’s favor. “I have arrived,” Informing, I entered which caused him to stop. He paused but soon relaxed and took a sip of his tea. “Hmm. I could tell by your little confrontation with my huntress.” He mumbled, putting the cup away. “Have you reached a decision yet, His Majesty?” I asked coldly, standing before him with my hands closed behind my back. I was not in the mood to listen to useless justifications, I was only here as formality. She also came and he turned to us. His expressio
