Chapter: Chapter 7Athena's POVMy heart felt like invisible needles were going through my chest.I squeezed the pregnancy result into my hand, rumpling it into a papery ball as hot tears pooled in my eyes.The man whose child I was carrying, the man I had given every form of devotion in my heart and body, was now with my sister. Then what was I...this little life growing inside me...how do I make sense of it all?My heart was being crushed like it was nothing.Maybe because that was all I ever was to him.In the end, the only person that was there for him was my sister. I was just a placeholder, meant to warm up her seat until she was ready to claim it as her own.In that moment, as I stood outside watching the small acts of intimacy between them, just a couple of weeks away, I thought there was nothing to fight for anymore, that nothing could rip my heart further.I was very wrong."Raphael," She said with a pouty voice," When are you finally going to do something about Athena...?"I froze completely

Chapter: Chapter 6Athena's POVI took stiff, unsure steps into the Alpha's bedroom. After his display with my sister all this time, I didn't think that he would call me to the bedroom to serve him for the night."Why are you just standing around like that?" He said, but he didn't sound half as irritated as he did normally.I pursed, weighed my words and spoke."I thought...well, I thought you wouldn't need me for tonight,"He raised an eyebrow."Have you had an imaginary heir for me that I don't know about?" he said, his voice snappy."That's not what I mean. I mean, with Isabella here, I didn't think that you'd have any reason to call for me at night,"His eyebrows almost went beyond his forehead in a cartoonish manner."I don't know where you got the idea from, but Isabella and I are just friends. Not that I really have to explain myself to you, but I don't want you going around and misunderstanding our relationship,"I kept my eyes on his while they bulged with shock."Are you serious?""Of course,

Chapter: Chapter 5Athena's POV I was unconscious for half a day, then woke up with a throbbing headache. Raphael had nearly slapped a concussion into me because I dropped Isabella's luggage. The imprint of his hand was still there outlining just how deeply he had hit me, the worst part was that he had not even bothered to check if it was intentional or not-it was was but still- all that mattered to him was that I had made a mistake and I had to be punished. I looked around my surroundings, taking note of the boxes and haphazardly tossed about household items that had regarded dust and cobwebs.There was a sad little window that was the only source of light for the room, and then a door that was the only way out. But it was locked and I banged on the door for as long as my malnourished body could manage before sliding off the dusty surface down to the floor. I remained there until I was nudged by a plate of food; if I could be so generous to call it that. It was a stale piece of bread, with visi

Chapter: Chapter 4Athena's povMy brain was doing mental gymnastics, trying to figure out who was coming to visit the infamous Alpha; Raphael had very few friends, as one would expect from a man with minimal trust and a temper shorter than a baby's pinky finger. It took a load of generosity of the words ‘friends’ to place it on those he had not yet tagged as his enemies. Yet the entire Pack House was turned upside down, every corner was swept, decorations were hung and it didn't make any other little changes that made the entire place glow up. As noon drew closer I found him constantly checking his watch, his head would flick over about 80 times per minute, then he would make a call in a hushed tone repeating the process again. Now my curiosity was spiked, who was he so eager to meet?I met the answer to my question about half an hour later, a car smoothly drove into the packhouse ground through the high still gates that had been thrown wide open and invitingly. Unlike most guests, I noticed tha

Chapter: Chapter 3Athena's pov My eyes were clouded by the remains of sleep when I looked at him, not fully accessing the danger I had stepped into. “Raphael?” However I became fully alert when he pressed the burning tip of his cigar on my arm, a searing pain shot through my body from that spot.In an instant I was awake and upright, breathing heavily as I tried to grasp what. just happened to me. Raphael pushed forward and grabbed my chin squeezing it and his hand applying enough pressure to do everything but completely shutter my jaw bone. “A worthless piece of trash like you is going to bed before me, who do you think you are?”I sniffled, trying to formulate words why my mouth was still trapped between his aching grip, and failing to do so which only compounded his anger. He threw me at the bed, my back knocking against the headboard, I cried out and curled up on the bed. “Raphael, I'm sorry please–” He got on the bed and threw a punch at my face.“Haven't I warned you never to call me by my

Chapter: Chapter 2Athena's povWhatever was left of my pride meant nothing to me when I heard the cage being mentioned, I cried tears in my eyes and begged my meat to spare me from that experience again.“Please…anything else but the cage,” the more the tears around my eyes the more his smile grew even larger and larger by the second, as if he was feeding off of my pain. My pleas fell on deaf ears. A silver cage was brought to his office, it was the size for a large dog, but as a full-grown woman when I was shoved in I had to bunch up my legs and hands together to fit in. It was a claustrophobic nightmare, but even that would have been more tolerable if this was the extent of his cruelty. It wasn't. Since I was indicated he would intentionally schedule meetings with high ranking wolves so that they could come and see me there, trapped inside like a lower life form. The tears wouldn't stop, sometimes I was looked upon with pity but most of the time they would laugh at me, to think that Luna was bein

Chapter: Chapter 12Celeste’s POVA few days went by and nothing changed, he didn’t even attempt to change his decision or make it any better. He let those people close to the border die and by day four the villagers had enough of it. Some of them stormed the forests looking for the rogue but came out empty handed, as if somehow they had escaped before they reached there. The people sent to talk to Ragnar were met with his vehement disagreement.Eva had come to me several times to try and convince him but he wasn’t even listening to whatever I had to say, he only had insults to shower on me, nothing else and each time I spoke to him, I left with tears.I was out in the woods, taking a run since it had been a long time since I had let my wolf out. I didn’t have anything else to do. There wasn’t even anybody around I could call a close friend except Eva who had been very busy.I was mid run when I heard voices, a few people were talking among themselves and I paused my run, I turned around to see who it

Chapter: Chapter 11Celeste's POV Eva left and I sat in my room for a moment, I had to talk to Ragnar, I wasn't sure he would listen to me but the people couldn't suffer due to his lack of wisdom. It wouldn't be right. I strengthened my mind as I went to his office where I knew he would be. I was right because his loud voice came through the doors. I stopped, taking a breath to contain my nervousness. I didn't want to walk in there stuttering or being shy in any manner, he would get the win again if I did that. His door stood like a huge boulder to another world. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and walked inside, if I didn't say anything, I would be failing the very people who had given us their trust that we would protect them as their leaders. I opened his door and walked in, not knocking which was my first mistake because there on his lap sat Sarafina, he had his arms around her while he kissed her deeply. A sharp pain went through my chest at the sight, I couldn't stand it. I wanted to

Chapter: Chapter 10Celeste’s POVMy heart stopped for a moment and I couldn’t breathe when I heard my name. somehow, I had been caught. I turned around, a lie flying around my head for what I was doing in the room before I was then met with Eva’s face.I felt air rush into my lungs when I saw her, relief softening me as I sagged. “Eva. Why are you here?” I asked because she was supposed to be at the dining table with Ragnar. She looked out the door and then back to me, “I came to tell you that he left the dining table sometime ago, he was called out and I’m not sure when he’ll be back, so you have to leave soon” she rushed out.I felt panic rise in me again, so I quickly shut the journal, placing it back like I had seen it before leaving the room. Eva went back and I went to drop the keys back where I had spotted them. I had just dropped them and was about to leave his office when I heard his voice.I froze mid steps, listening as he came closer. I could hear my heart racing and I was scared that he w

Chapter: Chapter 9Celeste's POV She raised a brow at my question, stopping at the head of my bed to listen to what I had to say. “I need to get into the alpha's room. I left something in there and I need it back urgently" It was a lie but one she would never know about. She didn't look too convinced but she didn't look like she cared for the truth either. Her eyes were blank in a way, as if she just wanted to do something, keep busy. “You know it's very hard to do that though. He keeps his room locked, nobody gets in unless he wishes it so" she explained and I agreed. “You're right but there must be a way, don't you think?” I asked her. She looked at the door of the room and back to me before she began to pace restlessly, she was thinking hard to see if there was anything and so was I. I needed to get into his room, I didn't care how but I was desperate to. "What if we steal his keys from him? We could find a way”She looked at me then, "He holds those keys with him all the time”She was wrong,

Chapter: Chapter 8Celeste's POV I could feel the shock reverberate through me as her words dawned on me. She wanted the throne, she thought she deserved it more and I couldn't argue with her. I felt his presence before I saw him, not because I was excited or that I had missed him, but instead it was the way he repelled me. Ragnar walked into the room, his eyes scanning it quickly before they fell on Eva and me. I quickly looked away, I didn't want to meet him. He came towards us, his steps slow and deliberate as if he wanted to say something. He stopped in front of us and took a breath, “If you both don't mind, leave the room, Sarafina is coming in" I felt the air run out of my lungs at his words, surprise and pain clutching tightly to me. His words had been like salt on my wounds, making them ache more than they needed to. Eva stared at me and him before standing up. She bowed in respect, “Yes Alpha" and without any hesitation, left the room. It was just Ragnar and I left now. I wanted to meet

Chapter: Chapter 7 Celeste's POVThe day went by pretty quickly with nurses checking up on me. I felt much better as time went, the drowsiness faded completely and I was awake, fully this time. Previously I would have wanted to see Ragnar but I wasn't eager for that now. If he could stay away forever, I would be pleased with that. But as usual, my fate never listened to me. It determined everything without my compliance or happiness because just a few moments later, the door opened and he walked in. He had a grim look on his face, disappointment and tiredness as if he had been the one laying on the hospital bed for hours. He walked up to me, “Celeste. You're getting better" maybe it was my mind playing tricks but I could sense the pretense of care gone from him. He seemed like he was just here for the sake of it. I forced a smile, not sure what else to do. “I'm trying" I uttered simply. He stared at me blankly for a moment, “You lost the baby again, just as we thought you would.” His voice was col
