DARIUS ALFONSO.Her words, her gleaming hatred, all of her emotions were flashing before my eyes and infuriated me. I failed to subdue it.I was looking down with my fingers joined together, looking down with an inscrutable expression over my face which my Father noticed.“What happened, Darius? You look disturbed.” Father called, resting his hand over my shoulder.Exhaling, I pressed my teeth together and looked down more.“Because I am.” “Did Athena say something?” He sighed, taking a seat next to me.“What else could it be?” I sighed, rubbing my temples as Julius also entered, frowning deeply at my demeanor but it was uncontrollable.“I don’t understand, Brother, that woman is nothing to you then why do you care? Let her speak whatever she wants.” He sighed, shaking his head in disappointment.I exhaled loudly to display my exasperation, turning to him gradually.“I am not a statue, Julius, who could turn oblivious and emotionless. It… infuriates me.” Taking a pause, they all not

I ran, I ran where my feet took me. Wanting to go as far as possible, so far that if I scream or die, he won’t be able to reach me. Too far from him. “Please, tell me it’s a lie. This has to be a lie.” I managed to grab my weapon as they had my blood on them and I could feel them before rushing out of his domain. “No, no, no, it can’t be. Please!” I whisper-yelled from stress. My heart was on the verge of bursting from my chest, my mind was clouded with unwanted and painful cognition, stealing my ability to think and perceive properly. My throat was dried, my body was shaking badly with blood stained on my clothes, my lips began to tremble followed by unwanted tears brimming in my eyes. “FUCK!!” I screamed, shutting my eyes with those intolerable sensations. A painful tear rolled down my cheek, my chest tightened badly, feeling my mate was in pain but- I would rather die than to accept this bond. ‘How could I feel that in the first place? I am a human, this shouldn't be poss

ATHENA BECKER. ‘I am a human, I shouldn’t feel that way. It was wrong. It shouldn’t occur in the first place.’ Two weeks passed but nothing could soothe the storm in my soul. “Dammit! What should I do?” My mind was not functioning properly. I failed to focus on anything. The sensations in my body were growing wild and I had no idea how to subdue them. ‘What do I do about these feelings? How can I stop or control them?’ And with these thoughts afflicting me, I failed to perform my duty properly and ended up killing the rogue I was supposed to capture. “Athena?! What the hell are you doing?! You were not supposed to kill him!” Jax yelled at me, mouth gaping when I killed him. Looking down, I bit my bottom lips, failing to hide the distress gleaming on my face. “I.. am sorry. I didn’t know what I was thinking.” I sighed, rubbing my temples and converting my dejection into rage. He opened his mouth to yell but thankfully did and sighed, shaking his head in disappointment. “I w

“I, The Red Huntress, Athena Becker, reject your rejection, Alpha Darius Alfonso.” With a stern tone, I rejected his proposal which could solve our affliction but I didn’t allow him. I won’t allow him to end the chance fate had given me this easily. “What the- You can’t do this, Athena.” He growled, narrowing his eyes in fury. We both had a glaring competition and with the ache in my body by the ruckus we created, I rose from the ground. “Why not? I believe that the rejection of mates is a mutual consent and you don’t have my permission to break this bond.” Holding my head high, I folded my arms at my chest, curling my lips upward from one side while he was frowning deeply at me. “If you think you can make a decision of this cursed bond yourself then you are wrong. I won’t let you.” Shrugging my shoulders, I acted to discard his rage and enhance the upheaval he was hoping to bury. “What the hell is happening here?! Such blasphemy in our land?!” An Alpha from the community y

ATHENA BECKER. ‘Why was I so desperate to make him feel what I did?’ My mind questioned me. “I don’t know.” ‘Was it because… I wanted him to realize what he did and… return to me in the end?’ After he left, I was sitting on the balustrade, looking out at the courtyard with a scowl lingering over my face, suppressing the tears glistening in my eyes. “No, no, no,” I whispered, shaking my head in denial, covering my mouth with my hand. The constant feeling of him being hurt was pissing me off. I didn’t want to feel how he felt or thought. I resented what I was feeling, what I was going through. “Tsk, dammit.” I muttered under my breath with rage emitting from me. And to enhance my state, My Lord came to me in a mocking tone with his demeanor was dire. He was not amused this time. “So that was the way you were talking about?” His stern tone came, standing next to me. I was sitting on the balustrade, looking out and humming in response. “Yes.” He chuckled dryly, shaking his h
