Vanessa’s POV
Having figured out that the agonising pain I had been feeling all evening was a result of me having not accepted Hectors rejection I was pissed. It hadn’t been twenty-four hours, yet he and my sister wasted no time in mating regardless to the fact I’d be baring the pain. Finding out that Athena had fallen unconscious after being marked before having the chance to mark Hector in return couldn’t have worked out any better. I gave me time to prevent her from fulfilling her destiny, it was going to give me time to get them back. My parents had left her alone while they went to speak with Hector and Benson, so I took the opportunity to pay me dear sister a visit knowing t
Sorry for the delay in updates, my maternity leave has ended so I've been in mandatory refresher training at work due to being a care worker I've had to put this first. Apologises for the smaller chapter but the next one shall be slightly longer. Dont forget to leave a review Thanks :)
Hector’s POV I was going out of mind; this damn mate bond had proper messed with my head. I hadn’t had a good night sleep in two days, each time I would drift off my dreams would be plagued with images of me, Athena and Axel. This whole three-way mate thing had me feeling uneasy, a nauseous knot forming in the pits of my stomach. Dark circles now sat under my eyes making it apparent to everyone that I hadn’t slept. I wanted Axel, I didn’t want Axel I just couldn’t think straight. When we kissed, I knew it was wrong but what shocked me was how right it felt. When Athena and I kissed I felt like I was floating on cloud nine and when I kissed Axel, it felt like firework night; exciting, colourful and amazing like every cell and fibre with me was bursting to life making me feel temporarily complete for the first time in my life. Confusion was an understatement. My phone had been ringing all god damn day and was now giving me a migraine. I knew it was Axel
Axel’s POVHector refusing to let me mark Athena majorly pissed off me and my wolf. Thor had spent the last couple of days growling whilst constantly telling me how I had fucked up. I knew he was right, I should have taken a hold of the situation and marked Hector when I had the chance. Now I’ve had to revert to my cruel demeanour and threaten him to get my way. Before leaving my pack house I stopped by my mother’s office only to find it empty. I searched the entire territory for her but was unable to pick up her scent. This only confirmed something was going on. She was never off pack lands long enough for her scent to disappear let alone without her gamma. Had my father bee
Hectors POV“Hello Hector” a soft voice called to me yet all I could see was a blue lake surrounded by bright green grass.I walked to the bench that was to the edge of the lake taking a seat. I wondered how I got here, last I remembered I was with Athena when… shit Athena. My hands quickly went to my stomach where I remember Vanessa having stabbed me. I must have been so deep in thought as when I opened my eyes a young blonde woman in
Athena’s POVFor the first time in what felt like forever I was happy. My whole body tingled from my fingers to my toes, a feeling similar to my anxiety but with one noticeable difference. Instead of feeling cold and empty I feel warm and full. I no longer felt stressed instead feeling relaxed. Like a warm summers breeze had washed over me leaving me feeling refreshed and lively.Hector was still fast asleep and through the bond I could feel his unconditional love for me, yet deep down were feelings of need and longing. Propping myself up on my elbow I stared a
Athena’s POV“Athena, we have told you everything we know. Yes Hector was stabbed, no we don’t know that it was Vanessa, yes you went missing once Hector was injured turning up only hours later in the woods. You weren’t injured so we assumed you sleepwalked again like when you were younger. If Hector says he spoke with the moon goddess, then why not take him at his word. He’s grown into a good young man Athena. That boy has never gotten into trouble much less lied to us about something as important as this” my mum basically scolded me for not believing my mate after running through the events of the last week a good few times.
Hectors POVEverything was rushed having not had the luxury of time on our side. Though I knew it was Vanessa that stabbed me her parents couldn’t be sure, when they investigated, they couldn’t catch any scents other than mine and Athena’s so without proof nothing would be done. Alpha Jake was able to secure us a last-minute invite to Vanessa’s ceremony under the guise we were happy for her having been accepted. We would be staying in the pack house due to Athena being an alphas daughter so getting to Axel shouldn’t be to challenging. If we were under the same roof as him, we stood a better chance. Alpha Jake said the layout of the Gemstone pack house was vastly s
Axels POVIt had been one long arsed day consisting of patrol duty and now I had to sit through dinner with every alpha my father had a treaty with as they came to congratulate me on a mate bond I refused to accept. I’d much rather be out taking a double shift on patrol than sit next to Vanessa and my mother pretending to be happy. When I told Athena and Hector about my mother’s branding, I wished I’d told them the truth. As far as they knew the brand was still in place. I didn’t agree with my father on much but when he said not to let a single sole know of its removal, I whole heartedly agreed which in turn led me to allow my mates believe it remained.Walking back through the pack house I headed straight to my room in dire need of a shower. I was covered in thick dry mud and had little twig pieces along with leaves stuck in my hair among other places. Counting my lucky stars that I reached my room without running into Vanessa not wanting to spend any longer in her compan
Athena’s POVDinner had to have been the most awkward thing in the entire world. Whoever had done the seating plan clearly didn’t realise my sister and I couldn’t stand each other. As you could guess we had been seated at the same table and let me tell you we could literally cut the tension with a knife. Also sitting at our table were two other Alphas who had bought their betas and their Lunas. Whilst the Alphas were four bourbons deep into their conversation I sat there quietly listening to snippets of the conversation between the Lunas and my sister that I was pretty much forced to sit with. Mingling had never been a strong suite of mine preferring to stay silent and observant, you could learn a lot about someone if you sat back and listened. l had always lived in the shadow of my sister, Vanessa fitting in to any crowd she came across like it were effortless. In between feigning participation in the Lunas conversations, I hadn’t
