“So we are okay with the business proposal of the Dark Forest Pack right?” I asked Calvin as I skimmed through the contract in front of me.
“I have studied the legality of the business that they wanted to pursue. Though it may take longer before we would get the return on investment. Although it doesn’t matter because, in the long run, its stability will give us higher profits.” Calvin explained.
“Also, they have been one of our best secret allies. The intel that they give us is all accurate and precise. By the way, I know that this might not be needed, but this business proposal is the gift of Alpha Reid to his mate. He just recently got married,” Calvin added as he shuffled the papers in front of him.
“I was invited to that wedding right?” I said looking at him.

“Athena,” Nicolo called out my name as he shake my shoulders trying to wake me up. “What time is it?” I asked squinting at him. I am not asleep but not yet awake as well. I am stuck in between but I am leaning on being able to sleep more. He gave me a mischievous smile as he stands up before telling me the time, “It’s eight in the morning.” “What the hell Nicolo?!” I threw a pillow at him that he managed to dodge. “Come on sleepy head let’s have breakfast, I am feeling a bit lonely you know,” he said teasingly as he hide behind my door with only his head peaking in. He knows me well to make the door his shield. He stayed in that position and clings to it as if his life depends on it. “And I keep on telling you to call me Nicole when we’re home.

What would you do if the sacrifices that you made were actually worthless? What would you do if the person you thought you were saving is on his way to self-destruction? What would you do if the feelings that you tried so hard to hide are about to be exposed? I initially thought that speaking with Nikki would provide me with answers, but it did not. Instead, it just made me more confused and made my heart waver. In the short time that I had known Drake, all I have seen was a passionate, kind, understanding, and loyal leader. Every decision he makes was in the Pack’s best interest. He would listen to every explanation and make a just decision. He even allowed people like me, who is not a Pack member, to stay in his territory and even ensure my safety while I was staying there. This is the Drake I know. That is why I could not accept all the things that Nikki told me about him. The new Drake as she refers to. “I will take the back road,” Nicolo said, stopping me from overthinking. A

After hearing those three words I felt my heartbreak. He lost it. I couldn’t imagine the way Drake is now. Was this my fault again? Katie and Lisa were exhausted and wouldn’t stop crying telling me that they were glad I did not forget them. Nicolo took care of their dinner and led them to my bedroom to sleep. As I walk outside to the terrace to get some fresh air.“Athena,” Aunt Jess called me as she walked toward me, “You know that I always support you with every decision you make. I let you make those mistakes so that you could learn from them. I know that you went this far because you wanted to protect him. Because I also know how much you loved him. But if this distance and sacrifice you are making is not helping anyone, especially the two of you, don’t you think it's time to stop?

“You’re leaving?!” Sam shouted in disbelief, as he follow me around while I move some of the boxes in one corner. I thought I would have a quiet time as I clean my office inside my bar. But then he came. “I thought you are here to stay? I thought we would be together forever? Did I do something wrong?” “No, you didn’t,” I replied, “And we told you from the start that our stay here is just temporary.” I was not planning to tell Sam about us leaving until the last minute. But since I sold the bar to one of his friends, it was unavoidable. “Was it because I was pressuring you to pledge your loyalty to me? If that’s it I will stop. Please Athena, just don’t go.” Sam held me by the wrist making me look at him. It made me feel sad seeing the look he had in his eyes. I did not want to hurt him, and I know that I had been so clear with how I felt for him. He’s one of my best friends and that’s where it ends. I can't just offer anything more than that. “I’m sorry Sam, I really need to go,

Finally, we’rehome.Home, was there really such a place for me to call one? The sun was just rising as Nicolo parks at the front of the apartment that Nikki sold to me, which I will be paying in installments. I took one look at the apartment and I am not gonna lie. I was not expecting something this big. I love how its facade reminds me of the packhouse. Nikki opened the door as we got out of the SUV and rushed towards us.“You’re here,” she squealed as she hugged me as if I was her long-lost friend or relative.“And yes, hello to you too,” I replied awkwardly but she doesn’t seem to notice. She released me from her embrace and hug Aunt Jess. And then everything became tricky as she greets Katie and Lisa. I felt that she wanted to hug them but opted for a nod instead. I introduce

I was in awe.I took a seat at one of the tables in the far corner with a perfect view of him. I know that the drinks that I initially bought were for to go, that’s why I ordered another one just so I can stay in the coffee shop. He was seated in the same spot that we once sat together. Maybe he was missing you, a voice at the back of my head whispered making me smile. My heart is pounding so fast inside of my chest. If it can produce a sound everyone would have been deaf because of how loud my emotions are right now.He drank his favorite coffee as he looks out of the window, Caramel Macchiato. I still remember how each syllable of his favorite drink sounded when he says it. I never knew a coffee flavor would sound so sexy. My eyes are glued to all the movemen

I woke up with heavy eyes and an aching head. The sun was shining brightly outside my window. Like it was telling me that today is going to be a great day. The door opened and Nicolo came in holding a tray with my breakfast.“You didn’t have to bring it to me,” I croaked. Nicolo placed the tray on my bed gently and fetch me some water and handed it to me.“I just wanted to try and make you breakfast in bed, even just this one time,” he smiled, "By the way, just a reminder, we have a meeting with the Nori guy regarding our new bar this afternoon. I know how you wanted to check the place out yourself. It's scheduled late in the afternoon, so you still have time to rest.”I nodded at him as I took a bite of the toast he had served me, and I sliced a piece of egg and bacon

Life has a funny way of messing up with you at times. I am not sure if this was Karma in the works or was it just pure coincidence. Of all the people to meet it had to be him. It’s not that I don’t like to meet him, because I do. I was just not yet ready and it was too soon. I took a glance at Nori and I can see that he was as confused as I am. He approached us and ask the question that I wanted to ask but couldn’t.“Alpha, we are meeting Pete, he decided to sell this building to Athena so she could open her bar here,” Nori said.Drake turned and looked at him, I was surprised at the intensity of his stare but Nori didn’t budge nor looked like he was afraid. He stood there staring back at Drake with pure calmness. I look at them and I kinda miss the smiling and playful Nori. But ever since that night when he called out
