Travis’s POV

I was proud of how Athena handled the event; she hadn’t been in situations where she had to face large crowds so I was nervous she’d have a breakdown but she was graceful and elegant.

She stood like a queen before the pack members as they all came to greet and welcome her. She was full of light and stood tall beside me, her soft dress hugging her body perfectly, her brown hair flowing down her back. Her voice was so soft and sweet as she greeted everyone.

“Thank you,” she said to each person. “It’s lovely to meet you.”

She held the old warriors' hands with respect, smiled at the younger wolves, bowed her head gently to the elders and gave everyone her attention, like they were the only ones in the room.

When the celebration finally came to an end, Athena leaned close to me and whispered, “I think I need to sit down before my feet fall off.”

I chuckled and wrapped an arm around her waist. “You did amazing.”

“I was scared,” she said softly.

“No one could tell.” I said and

  • Craved By My Ex-Mate’s Father   066

    Travis’s POVI had a feeling Paige was hiding something.After the mess she caused accusing Athena of killing Michael I couldn't let go of the thought that something was up with her. I had one of the guards keep an eye on her.It had been a week since I put her on nightwatch duty as punishment enough to let her know she couldn’t just throw around accusations and stir up chaos without consequences even though Athena had asked I forgive her.That morning, I was in my office when there was a soft knock on the door. "Alpha," came a low voice as one of the guards stepped inside, holding a small folder in his hand."Report?" I asked, my voice even."Yes, sir." He handed it to me.I flipped it open and scanned the contents. The report was simple. Paige had been mouthy and snappy but she hadn’t caused any real problems. She did her shift, patrolled the grounds and tgere was no suspicious behavior.I gave a small nod and dismissed him. Once the door clicked shut behind him, I stood and ran a h

    Paige's POVI was pissed. Even though Athena had forgiven me and I didn’t get executed, the Alpha still said I had to be punished.I was now stuck patrolling the pack borders with a bunch of guards I didn’t know and didn’t even want to know. I had never trained for this. I was not built to lead not guard anything. And yet, here I was, putting on thick black pants, a matching jacket, and heavy boots like some soldier.I pulled the zipper up roughly and tied my hair back into a high ponytail. I slammed my bedroom door behind me and walked fast through the hall, ignoring everyone. This was bullshit. Total bullshit.The wind hit my face as I stepped out of the pack house and got to the border.Tony, the patrol leader, was already waiting near the wooden shed by the edge of the forest. He was tall and broad-shouldered with a beard that looked like it hadn’t been trimmed in weeks. He had a clipboard in his hand and a half-eaten granola bar in the other.“You’re late,” Tony said, not even lo

    Paige’s POVI watched them leave. Athena walked proudly beside Travis, her chin high like she had won something. I stayed on my knees, shaking all over. My heart thudded in my chest like it wanted to break out.My lips trembled as I pressed my hands to the cold stone floor. I had no idea Travis had been behind me the whole time and he had heard everything.When he spoke, I almost jumped out of my skin. “Bring me evidence Athena killed Michael,” Travis said coldly. “Or be charged for treason.”His voice was like ice.I slowly turned my head and looked up at him and his eyes were blazing. His jaw was tight.“Treason,” I whispered, my throat dry.“You know what that means, Paige,” he said, stepping closer. “Punishment is death… or banishment. You have two days.”Then he turned and walked away, his steps loud and final.My chest tightened and my hands shook harder. Death or banishment. I couldn’t survive either one. I needed help.Without wasting a second, I jumped to my feet and ran. My

    Athena’s POVI hurried to the prison with the guards following closely behind me.I had just heard that Raven was locked up for fighting.My hands balled into fists as I thought about it. It was Paige who ordered her arrest.That name alone made my blood boil. That girl just couldn’t leave me or my family alone. I turned a sharp corner and pushed the heavy door open. The prison sat behind the main house, guarded by two warriors. They bowed when they saw me.“Lady Athena,” one of them said quickly, standing straight.“Open the door,” I ordered, my voice firm.“Yes, ma’am.”The heavy iron door creaked open, and I stepped into the dark, damp hallway of the prison. Raven was sitting on a cold bench, her hands wrapped around her knees.“Raven!” I called.Her head snapped up amd I saw her eyes were red. “Athena!” she cried.I rushed to her cell. “Open it. Now,” I said to the guard beside me.“Right away, Lady Athena.”he said without hesitation.The cell door clicked, and I stepped inside to

    Paige's POVI had been patiently waiting for the full moon. Arrow and I had a perfect plan.On the night of the full moon, when everyone in the pack would be busy celebrating, dancing, and howling in joy he would murder Athena.He promised it would be quick and clean and I trusted him. He hated Athena just as much as I did. All I had to do was stay low, out of sight and keep myself invisible.I avoided everyone at the pack house. I didn’t eat in the dining room or hang around the halls. I didn’t want to risk anyone noticing me or asking questions that might raise suspicion until then.No one could know what was coming and I was glad the full moon was just a few days away.It was evening and I decided to go downtown. There was a private pub near the edge of town. It was dark and quiet, and no one from the pack usually went there.The streets were cold so I wore a big hoodie and jeans ignoring everyone who greeted me until I heard laughter in front of me.I turned slightly and saw a grou

    Paige’s POVI walked into the warehouse. It was dark and cold inside. The air smelled like smoke and old metal. Pieces of broken chairs and smashed crates were on the floor. I wore all black; boots, jacket, gloves and my heart was beating fast, but my face stayed calm.Arrow was fuming. He threw a glass bottle against the wall. Another crate went flying and his hands were clenched into fists, knuckles white, chest rising and falling with each deep breath. I stood at the entrance, watching him."Arrow," I called gently. He stopped and turned slowly, his face tight with pain and rage."You fucking failed," I said. His jaw tightened and looked away."I lost Night and Poison," he said, voice low and rough. "They're gone."My heart ached too. Night and Poison were my brothers too even though none of use were related by blood, just like arrow."It was supposed to be Athena," I said quietly. "She was the target."Arrow picked up a chair and threw it across the room. It hit the wall and broke
