ALPHA JEREMY'S POV."Why am I the only one being blamed?" She asked, and I turned to her sharply. Was she actually saying that? Did she mean I was also to blame? That was definitely what she was trying to imply. "Why are you the only one being blamed? Is there another childbearing Luna in this castle? Or are you trying to say Alpha Jeremy should wed another due to your incapability to produce an heir?" Elder Martin asked, looking at her with irritation playing in his eyes.No." She said, fiercely. "Do you want to go for a test? Do you want to see which one of us actually has the fault? When we do, and it comes out that you're the foolish barren one, you will pack your things, and leave my Palace." I said, and her eyes widened in horror. She tried to speak, but words failed her.Finally, she took a deep breath, and spoke."It… I never intended to…""You don't need to worry about publicity. I'll make it quiet." I added, with anger, and her lips quivered. She held her hands together, a
ALPHA JEREMY’S POV.I choked so hard that the maids were forced to give me some water. Athena stood there staring at me with her brown eyes, judging me with every second. How could…? I couldn’t believe it. Why was Athena here? How had Tristan come to marry her? I had searched for her for months, so what was she doing here? How could Athena be the Luna of Tristan’s Kingdom? How could she…?Wait… I looked up into her brown eyes, and saw it was staring directly into mine.She… she… she could see?Her eyeballs followed mine as they moved, and in them was wrath. Cold wrath directed at me. How could this be? How could that happen? Why would she buy my assets? Why would Mrs. Lockwood be Athena!? If felt like I was going through a mental breakdown, trying to wrap everything around my head, and make complete sense of it. It felt like I was going crazy. All my plans had gone down the drain. How could I seduce her if she was Athena? No, no, no, I was missing the whole point of it.Why had I
ATHENA'S POV.When Aiden's cry split the air, along with the others, it felt like my heart was being wrenched apart. I had heard him cry a thousand times, but for some reason, him crying when I was about to leave seemed like the worst he'd ever cried.He looked miserable, and so sad, compared to the other days when he cried for totally normal things. Aiden stretched out his hands for me to carry, and tears filled my ears. One of the women picked him up, and began to rock, and move him around, but he fought against her seriously. He pushed her away with the little strength in his littler hands, and kicked against her."He'll be fine. Babies are prone to crying when taken to a childcare center for the first time, or when they're separated from their parents." Mrs. Lenoir explained, looking at Aiden with a smile."So what do we do if he keeps on crying?" I asked, trying to stop my eyes from watering. "When you leave, he'll calm down. He'll cry for a while, wishing you returned, but with
ATHENA'S POV.A week after Alpha Jeremy had left the Palace in hysteria over the fact that he would continued to be punished, things felt a little weird. I had executed my revenge on him, but I didn't feel that sweet feeling I had expected to feel. Instead, that day, I had cried in my room, and had refused to let anyone come in. It was only when I heard Aiden's voice that I opened my door for him. Why had he bothered making my life hard? What was the use of it? What did he actually gain from it? I never expected the moon goddess to actually fight for me. Hearing him say that had been really good. It had felt nice. Someone had been enraged when he was treating me like trash.And that someone had decided to stand up for me. "Miss," Lilac called, as she knocked on my door gently. "Yes?" I turned around, and she came in."It's time to pick Aiden.""Oh!" I said, getting up, and a wide smile spread on my face. "Just give me a second." I said, fishing my wardrobe for a coat. I found a r
ALPHA RAGAS' POV.It was well over a year since Lorrie and I got married, but I was yet to adjust to things. I had thought I'd come to love and accept her with time— that time v0uld forge a deep bond between us, but no. Time didn't do anything good to Lorrie and me. It only made it worse. It got to a point where I could not bear to see her face, or hear her discussing vain things. Everything she said from her mouth simply seemed wrong. It was like we were so far apart that we'd never catch up.My marriage felt like hell, and so many times I wanted to end it. Lorrie's father seemed to care less since she was already married, and anytime I tried to give a little complaint on Lorrie's outrageous behaviour which didn't sit well with me; he waved it off as a problem for newlyweds. Unfortunately, being married for over a year didn't sound like newlyweds to me.Due to that, I had decided not to think of him, or give his opinions much thought. If I found out Lorrie was becoming too haughty f
LORRIE'S POV. Xander and I walked through the alley laughing at a joke I had just told. We had shopped heavily, but he had insisted he could carry it all by himself. In short, Xander was carrying fifteen shopping bags. He had found a way to pin a few around him, and it had been funny, but looking at it, it seemed adorable."I'm glad we finally ran. That was just the last straw. I never thought he'd harm me. He's a lunatic." I said, thinking of how my head had hurt when those ceramics had smashed on my head."Is your head all healed?" He asked, looking at my hair, and I shook my head to show I was all fine."Come on, it's been a week already." I said, pushing him with my hip, and he staggered with the weight of all the shopping bags, and I laughed. "You're not even that strong." "Try carrying all these." He retorted.We stopped at a grocery store next, and I made sure I carried all the grocery bags, even though he insisted on carrying them.Xander and I had fled to the least place Ra
LORRIE'S POV.For some reason, I got stuck, and couldn't do a single thing. My thoughts were running wild, and it seemed like I was going to go crazy. It was really Athena. The woman standing in front of me in the fancy red suit was Athena!Was I seeing something wrong? Was I dreaming? My heart began to beat faster. I had no cause to be scared, but just by realizing she could see, my mind was turned upside down. Athena… Blind Athena could see. I couldn't deny that she looked scarier when she knew exactly what she was looking at. Those brown eyes had gained a living beauty to them.My lips ran dry, and I couldn't form words. She stared at me continuously, giving me space to take everything in. I looked at her from head to toe, and couldn't believe the finery she was dressed in.White satin shirt with a bow collar, red suit jacket hung on her shoulders gently, matched with red palazzo suit pants, with heels that even I couldn't afford. Her hair was full of pretty pins, and on her nec
ALPHA RAGAS' POVFor days, I drank myself to stupor. I couldn't believe Lorrie, nor could I believe Xander. How could the both of them run with my money? Lorrie had done a lot of things that angered me, but this was too far. I never expected her to go as far as that. How could she steal my money and run? Why in the world would she do that?Her father had refused to see me since the past week. That was shameless. He couldn't take responsibility for his daughter's doings. Thinking about Xander was the worst. I trusted him with everything. Had he and Lorrie been laughing behind my back? Could they have done more harm that I wasn't aware of?But Xander had been so loyal. How could he do such a thing? It was so hard to believe. I really couldn't see Xander betraying me. Why would he betray me? Or maybe it was just me who had ignored all the signs. He had been particularly careful whenever it came to Lorrie, and the times I had thought seriously of divorcing her, he had advised me not to.
