"With your permission of course,” He paused. “With a woman as head strong as she I fear you may be faced with a rather difficult choice, Your cara or your people. I hopoe that it does not come to that but if it does, it shouldnt be an option." He added then left, and Alex released a long breath as he watched him exit the door. He went to the balcony where his people were rapidly gathering wanting to see their Alpha for themselves. He truly missed his people. The time he spent away from his pack felt like a few months instead of the few days it actually was. But when he was with Athena it felt like a few hours. If someone were to take his devotion to his pack on one hand and his love for Athena on the other, and place them on each side of the scale, the scale wouldn't tip to any particular side. Even as he missed his people he yearned to go back to her, he was already exhausting the eighteen days after which he knew he had to come back to his people with or without her. The problem was

She left the threshold and stood by his chair."You do realize what he said is true right? Her blood has to be spilled."He heaved a sigh before answering. "I know Ciara. I just can't explain the weather a felt when he posted a threat to her.""My husband said you're going back tonight. When will we see you again?"He pondered her first few words for a few seconds. Soon he`ll be able to call Athena ‘mine.’“The next time you see me, I will be with your Queen.”“Alex.” she placed a hand on his shoulder as she usually does to comfort him. “What if she rejects you? What will you do then? Have you considered it?”“It not an option to be considered. The balance of the entire kingdom depends on her acceptance.”“So you hope to keep lying to her till she accepts you?”“Yes! So mind your business.” he angrily brushed her arm off his shoulder.“As you mentioned her acceptance affects the entire kingdom so it is my business.”“For now I will give her space and then I will woo her and she will f

Even if she could mask the emotions on her face there was no hiding her racing heart,“You came back.” The quiver in her voice was barely there as he lightly stroked the tiny hairs on the nape of her neck exposed by her high updo. It was barely there but he heard it. He smiled and as soon as hse saw it in the mirror she seemed to remember her role of playing hard to get. “The next time you touch me, ot`ll be the last thing you do with thos e hands.” She took several steps away from him. “Is that your heart or your brain talking?”“They are one and the same and you would do yourself a favour to heed those words.”He took a step closer wondering if she would move back. She didn’t. she was looking straight at him-glare was more like it- daring him to come closer and touch her.He thought of Ciara`s advice, what if athena was just too scared of what she felt to admit it. What if he had to give her a push, just a little. Perhaps Ciara was actually wiser than he thought.“I`d say I`d die h

She woke with a start to the pounding of the door, immediately taking in her surrounding she paused as she saw Alex now in human form under her sheets, the same sheets she had been tucked into presumably by Alex himself before he helped himself, she looked to the once trosseau of luxurious clothing which was now a heap of ash and tatters of fabric strewn around, among them she recognized a piece of his clothting, no doubt torn as his body morphed in to a wolf to pull her from fire. Fire. The same thing whic she had just used to punish him he saved hetr from. Sh wasn’t even about ready to think about what she had seen in her hallucination. She looked to his hand which was laying above the crisp white og the sheets. Althiugh the area under and wround his hands were slighly blackened from the burn of his skin. Two things came to hermind. First, He negleted his own pain r=and even risked worsening it in order to save her despite she being the fashion er of the disaster that occured within

“He saved your life?” Alex waited for her to shut the door before asking curiously“Yes.”“From whom?” “I couldn’t tell.” She said crisply as she turned to him after shutting the door on Damien`s back.“Athena,” he exhaled at her robotic responses and searched for the appropriate question that would give a detailed answer. “Let’s try this again, why did he have to save your life?”“I was meeting with the former advisers and someone shot an arrow at me from the window.”His fists clenched and he sat upright letting the sheets fall to his waist, a more perfect sight she had never seen. “tell me where the bastard`s dead body is located so that I can dissect it into bite sizes for my dinner,”She was surprised by his violent talk since he has always tried to be an advocate of peace. She almost felt bad for the guy who had targeted an arrow at her.“He got away, I had to make sure Damien was treated.”“All the better I’d like to give him a message before I send him to Beelzebub.” He was ab
Rise of Athena Chapter 24
Walking through the hallways of the Royal house with nothing but a makeshift towel and a burnt hand wasn’t as difficult as Alex thought it would be, he had expected to be the subject of mockery for at least a week but that wasn’t an issue as almost no one was there save a few guards who didn't even blink at the sight of him.The first time he walked this path he was a little surprised considering the scenery he was used to. Back in Blue moon pack the corridors and compound were always bussing with people, children and pups playing catch and nipping, maidens giggling as the saw him walk pass, the women huddled in various groups exchanging ‘the latest tea’ on inlaws the men inviting him to play some game he had to feign interest in as he simultaneously gave an excuse while making his escape. He could never hope to understand what was so appealing or masculine about a man being so wasted he cannot walk straight line or the thrill of gambling even when you are clearly bad at it. It wasn’t
Rise of Athena Chapter 25
Well things have turned interesting real quick, from getting burnt to spending the night with Athena and now he was walking around town looking for a faceless, nameless killer. With no clue at all, the council members refused to speak to him and the only evidence was the arrow pulled out of his body and he didn’t even bother to ask knowing he wouldn’t share such an important thing that could aid him in finding who the killer was and consequently win their little bet.An Alpha of what some would say was the most powerful pack fighting over the scrap of affections he wasn't even sure to get. Another person would say how the mighty have fallen, but fighting for Athena's affections, was in no way demeaning. Not when she was going to be his future Luna.Now that he was walking around with no particular destination, the town seemed larger than when he had first entered the palace.Something about being lost in s place you are not familiar with makes the whole place seem like a maze.He was

The worse part about hearing that was it didn't sound unlike her. "I am sorry, I will inquire within the palace if there's any news." "She doesn't deserve you." "You're wrong. I have seen the goodness in her its buried deep but its there. If anything it is I who doesn't deserve her." "How long do you plan on digging?" "Until we are both covered in it."She looked at him and saw that he was hopeless. "I have seen you pass this place twice. Where are you going?" He had passed the place at least five times but he held his tongue on shame. "I'm not sure yet. I'm looking for someone," "Whom?" "That's the problem, I don't know." "Oh right the person who almost killed her." "Do you wish he had achieved his purpose?" "I don't wish anything. Wishes are words wasted on nothingness." it was sad to see such a soul already so cryptic. "I can help you find him and take him down." "How exactly?" Alex looked at her petite form skeptically.
