Athena's POVWe were looking around when loud drums and horns that could shake the ground let us know that the Lycan King had arrived. People moved out of the way for the King's chariot as it wound its way through the town and the crowd, stopping suddenly just a few yards from the stage.The moment I saw his chariot, my wolf started to growl. Even though we were a long way from the stage, I could still see everything clearly as he got out of the chariot and stood taller than everyone else.He bent down for a moment before getting up on the stage and looking around at the crowd. I had to bend a little bit to fit in with the crowd. It was done by accident. Even though I was at the very back of the crowd and wouldn't have been easy for him to spot, I didn't want to take any chances.After all, he was a lycan, and his senses were better than mine. If I hadn't been careful, he could have found me easily even in the crowd. It was better for me to be careful than to get caught and cause trou
Athena's POV"What do you want to do here?" Lucian hissed at me in anger. When he said that, I got a chill down my spine. I was as still as a shadow and shocked by everything that was going on."Who is it?" Before I could answer, another Lycan sitting next to Lucian's seat asked. I looked at him for a split second. I knew that he was Lucian's second in charge. He looked at me with narrowed eyes and then looked at me from head to toe.The Lycan who brought me here said, "She's a woman."I had to stop myself from saying "Duh!" at that moment. Instead, I locked my eyes on Lucian's as he looked at me with a strange feeling that I couldn't understand."How the hell did you get here?" asked the second-in-command.This made me sit up. My hands and feet were tied together behind me. The room we were in was a small space right above the bar. It was more or less a storage room, with barrels and barrels of rum and other drinks lining the walls.At the end of the room, there was only one very sma
Athena's POV"Then why did you come?" He yelled at me and looked me straight in the eyes. It was as if he could see right into my heart.To see you. I told him instead that I wanted to see the festival. It was hard to keep going when I couldn't take my eyes off of him. I was getting weaker because of how intense they were, and my wolf was getting closer and closer to being out of control. The bond between mates was very strong and sometimes too much to handle.I wondered if it was like this or if, because he was a powerful lycan and we were different, it was worse for me. I didn't know, but I was sure that if there weren't so many people around, we would have already started ripping each other's clothes off. I could see the intense desire and lust in his eyes, and he looked a little tense.He seemed to be fighting himself. The stress around us did nothing to help us. Being so close to my wolf was already making me crazy. I wondered if the bond between him and his mate was just as stro
Athena's POV"You think you were going where?" He growled at me, which gave me the chills. I tried to get as far away from him as possible by pressing my back against the wall, but something in his eyes told me that no matter what I did, even if I tried to hide in another world, he would still find me. He would still find a way to reach me.My wolf was always pacing inside of me, and we both felt like a wave of power washed over us. I knew he was trying to make me feel his power on purpose because he wanted me to give in, but I wasn't going to give in so easily. I was ready to fight with him if that was what it took.My father didn't teach me to give up.I gave him a look that was just as angry as the one he was giving me."You can't make me do what you want!" I got angry with him. At that moment, I wanted to growl at him, but for some reason, I couldn't. This made him raise an eyebrow at me, and then I felt his whole body press against mine until there was nothing but our clothes bet
Athena's POVAs soon as he finally pulled away from the kiss, I couldn't take another breath. I was out of breath and very hot because of the hot kiss that made everything go wrong for me. I was glad he still had me in his arms because if he hadn't, I was afraid I would fall to the ground and pass out.It was so intense that I almost felt like he took half of my life away. I put my head on his shoulder and took a few deep breaths. At the same time, I felt one of his hands go down to my hip and rest there for a moment. As the sexual fog slowly lifted, I could hear his heart beating from this close.I stayed that way for a while, trying to catch my breath, but the strange tingling feeling between my thighs got stronger, making me squeeze my thighs. When I finally had some control over my body, I tried to move away from him because I was afraid that if we stayed like this, things would soon get very bad. But he just growled at me and tightened his arm around my waist, making me feel ever
Athena POVI sat down next to him and looked out the window in silence. I could feel his eyes on me the whole time. He was looking at me with thought, which added to the tension in the air.When I could feel him looking at me from head to toe, it would send shivers down my spine. Even though I tried to look calm, my heart was always beating fast in my chest.We were alone again, and I could tell by the way he looked at me that he was already taking off my clothes in his mind. I gave him a quick glance and saw that he was already looking at me. He was leaning back in his seat, and one of his feet was on one of his knees. His hands were spread out on the hand rest. He appeared to be sitting on a throne. He was looking at me with a strange look on his face that I couldn't put my finger on.His long dreadlocks hung loosely over his shoulder, and a muscle in his jaw was ticking away as he clenched it. When we looked at each other, I got another chill. The dark look on his face made me worr
Athena's POVIn the next few hours, I had no control over myself or my body. Those women were taking care of me in every way. It was so much for me to handle. At one point, I felt like yelling as loud as I could."She's just a puppy," a woman said with a frown as she ran something through my hair and made it smoother. "She still smells like a puppy." I heard one of the women say, "I didn't know the King was taking such young girls." While they were making out with me, I was shocked and wondered if he had really slept with every woman there.Every time I thought he couldn't get any worse, he showed me an even worse side of himself."Whatever it is, I think he picked her up because of how she looks," one of the women said, giving me a very critical look that made me feel even worse about myself.I wanted to leave, and I even tried to run away a few minutes ago, but these women don't seem like normal women. I knew they weren't people, but I also knew they weren't lycans.They were magica
Athena's POVI told Lupe how I got to the festival in the end. She and the other girls were all shocked and happy to hear this. I told them about Zeifa, and they were very interested in what I had to say. I don't know when it happened, but soon we all got used to each other. It soon seemed like we were long time friends.Lupe told me, "Your hair and make-up are done, but they are still making your dress." She told me, "You're taller than us, so none of our clothes fit you," and I agreed. Lupe offered to show me around when I wanted to ask what they were going to make me wear. I said yes without even thinking about it because I still wanted to get out of that place.I thought at first that it was just a small wing of the castle where these women would be locked up, but it turned out that it was a whole floor of the castle just for them. Everyone there was a woman. I did see a few men here and there, but Lupe told me they were eunuchs.The whole place was split up and given to different
