ATHENA'S POV.The brown substance finally became clear to me. I knew what it is.Just immediately after I had called his name, Tristan burst in like he had been at my door, and I screamed, startled. I had not heard him coming. There were a couple more rooms before the one I entered. Didn't he check them?"What's wrong?" He asked, looking ready to fight. I ran to him, and held his hand before looking back at the bed. On it was blood. Dried blood. A really large amount of it, spreading in a disfigured circle on the bed. It had turned brown over the course of time. Even if three Alpha wolves had not died in the house like the story said, someone had died in that room. There was no way such a large amount of blood came from an injury or any other source. I could finally explain the destroyed state of the room. The person had fought, but had been taken to the bed, probably after they were too weak, and maybe the person who had slashed the doll madly, had done the same to the human the
ATHENA'S POV.I placed my hand in Tristan's, as we walked away from the house. Hiding there had not been a pleasant experience, but I was glad Tristan and I had gotten memories from it.Memories we could keep. Memories of being at a crime scene.I almost laughed at my own ridiculous thoughts. What pleasant memories could have been formed at a crime scene? I was terrified just by waiting in that room.There was its disorganized state, the things falling, with me having no recollection of touching them; the ripped up doll, the woman in the mirror that seemed more like I had imagined it the more I thought about it, and the blood on the bed…Everything about the room screamed murder. Tristan and I didn't walk much before getting to the beach, and there was the sunset in front of us.“Wow! It's beautiful!” I exclaimed softly. I had never paid attention to the sunset when I had my eyes. Even if I had, those moments were all lost in the sea of young memories. Instead, I had heard of people
ATHENA'S POV.My heart went all ticklish when I placed my lips on his. They were soft, and enticing. My heart skidded into fast beats, and the butterflies appeared out of nowhere, roaming around in my tummy. Tristan kissed me in return, and we shared a deep, and passionate kiss with the smooth breeze.Why did I go to all that trouble of hoping for love? When my love was right here. Falling for Tristan was effortless, and it gave a feeling as sweet as honey.I liked 'liking Tristan'. He was fun, attractive, cool, kind and observant. He was fast becoming the major reason for my smile.When we broke the kiss, a blush crept onto my face, as I smiled; I looked away because I felt a little shy and embarrassed.“I wonder where a blind girl learned to kiss.” He teased, looking at the water with his hands in his pockets, and I laughed.“Maybe her emotions taught her.” I replied, in a low voice, going to stand next to him, but looking away. “Oh really? What emotions?” He asked, turning to m
TRISTAN'S POV.It seemed like everything stopped moving immediately Matilda informed us of Gary's death. I couldn't believe it. Gary? Dead? There was no way I would believe Gary was dead. I had seen Gary the previous day, and he was healthy and jumping. How could Gary be dead?Gary was one of the men I considered as my grandfather. He was one of the oldest elders in the pack and was happily married to Dorothy—a quiet, calm and sweet woman.Gary had been like a father to both my father and Athena's father, and he had doted on me. When I got into trouble, he always stood up for me, and when I had problems, I always talked to him, before anyone else.When my father died, Gary comforted me. I had acted strong in the presence of everyone, but I had cried with him for so many nights. Gary, who was always laughing, and always had a joke or a story to tell. I had grown to take care of his every need, even though he didn't ask for much. He was always bothering me.“Tristan. When will you hav
LORRIE'S POV.I was in my room, staring at the new nails I had fixed, and ripping them off with a little knife. How dare they fix nails that didn't suit me?For a whole month, I had been in a sour mood. Everything altogether had been disappointing. My wedding, my long-awaited and desired wedding, had been shifted to another date, right when I thought nothing could stop me and Ragas from getting married. It was only two days more, yet I wasn't given the chance to enjoy it. I had gotten my wedding dress, had tried on almost every ring in every ring shop; I had gotten a complete rack of shoes… everything had been prepared. Only for Ragas to have an important business meeting with clients who he called once-in-a-lifetime clients. My father, who I had thought would take my side, was even thrilled to have such an opportunity come into Ragas' hands.Of course, they knew best, and understood how significant the meeting was, but I would rather not understand. I had thrown a tantrum, but my
ATHENA'S POV.My eyes flew open immediately Alpha Jeremy's claws dug into my belly, and I sat up in bed, with my arms wrapped around my belly. What was that? Why would I have such a dream?Did Alpha Jeremy hear of me? No, it couldn't be possible. Not many people knew me back when I was blind. I doubted they'd recognize me, since I already found my style of clothes and appearance. I was no longer the Alpha's mate draped in dull clothes, so no one could have accidentally seen me and reported to Alpha Jeremy. Moreover, he had not come for the wedding, so he had not seen me. Maybe I was just feeling uneasy. It could also have something to do with the plans of revenge I was harboring. I wiped sweat off my forehead, and leaned against the headboard, with my eyes closed.The dream had felt so real; My hands were shaking violently, from the fear of facing Alpha Jeremy unprepared. If at all I wanted to face him, it had to be when I was ready with my plan to take revenge on him.I got up f
ALPHA RAGAS' POV.It was a little difficult to believe Lorrie and I were finally married to each other. She was officially my Luna.All through the night, we made love to each other, and I tried hard to hide my dissatisfaction. I didn't have any feelings for Lorrie. How had we come that far? I ought to have ended things with her a month ago, but instead, I had let myself get emotional. I had given her father the wish he wanted, which was to see his daughter married, instead of fulfilling my own wish of having Athena by my side. It was all messed up. Why didn't I do it back then?How was I to let Lorrie know I had no feelings for her when we were already married? That would be too hard to do. I still had to find Athena. I had paused my findings on her, so I could concentrate on my business trip, but now that I was back, I needed to continue with it. As for Lorrie, I would find a way around the marriage because I couldn't let Athena slip out of hands once more when I found her.“Whe
OCTAVIA'S POV.Things had become a little steady ever since Athena left. I was having the best time of my life, and everyone respected me more, since there was no one to share the respect with me. I had things going in the right order they ought to go, and I shopped almost daily. Alpha Jeremy and I were beginning to make serious preparations for our wedding ceremony, and he had put me in charge of managing the finance for his companies. He trusted me, and I liked things the way they were. Although, he had become even more busy. He kept on chasing the pack that had almost killed his beloved beta, and that made him a little detached, but that was fine.In the very least, I didn't need to share his love with anyone else.“Ma'am. Do you like this?” One of the employees asked, and I turned to see a stunning blazer dress, the design of which I had never seen before. How I loved blazer dresses. “Wow.” I let out softly, touching the fabric to feel its quality. “It's a limited edition. I
