Athena’s POV

I sat in front of the mirror, my hands gently resting on the smooth silk of my white wedding dress. The room was quiet and the stylist stood behind me as she fixed the final touches of my hair. My heart was beating fast, and my eyes were already watery, but I smiled.

“You’re perfect,” the stylist said softly, stepping back to admire her work.

I turned slowly and looked at myself in the mirror. My dress flowed all the way to the floor like water, pure white and sparkling in the light. The tiny pearls on the lace sleeves glowed gently, and the crown on my head sat like it belonged there.

My hair was pinned up in a neat bun, with little curls falling at the sides of my face. My makeup was soft and warm, just the way I liked it.

“Thank you,” I whispered, blinking back tears. “I never thought this day would come.”

She smiled and touched my shoulder. “You were made for this Athena, you’ll make a good Luna.”

I took a deep breath thinking of how ordinary I was. I didn’t have a wo

    Athena’s POVTravis’s hands were everywhere; on my waist, my back, in my hair. His touch burned through my skin like fire that knew exactly where to spread. His mouth was on mine and my head was spinning from pleasure.I gripped his shoulders tightly and pulled him even closer, needing him, needing more. My back hit the wall gently, and he pressed into me, his chest firm and warm. I could feel the beat of his heart thudding against mine.“Travis…” I whispered his name like a breath, my voice weak, but full of want.He groaned softly, kissing along my jaw and down my neck. “You have no idea what you do to me,” he said, his voice low and rough.“I think I do,” I whispered, arching slightly as his hands moved under the soft fabric of my shirt.He paused, looking into my eyes. His were dark and intense, stormy with emotion.“You sure?” he asked gently, brushing a lock of hair away from my face.I nodded. “I’ve never been more sure of anything.”He lifted me easily, and I wrapped my legs a

    Travis’s POVI stared at the picture. “What the fuck.” I swore.I was staring at Athena in the picture, she was under Hudson, his arms around her, his face too damn close to hers. His mouth hovered over her cheek like he was about to kiss her, and her expression was unreadable.My blood boiled and I gripped the phone tight.“What the fuck is this,” I muttered again, louder this time. My voice was sharp, full of rage I was trying so damn hard to hold in.The caption made it worse; “Perfection” with love emojis.I didn’t even want to know what happened. Whatever it was, I knew it would just piss me off more.I swiped out of the post and opened my call log. My thumb hovered over Athena’s name. I wanted to call her and ask her to explain why she let him get that close and it looked like they were two seconds from kissing and why the fuck she didn’t push him off faster but I stopped myself.My hand dropped and I cursed again, low and bitter.If I called her now, what would I say? “Hey, I

    Hudson’s POVI was going through hell. Mentally and emotionally everything was just messed up. I couldn’t even breathe without getting pissed off.My father and Athena were all over each other like some lovesick teenagers. Every corner I turned, there they were kissing, touching, whispering and laughing like nothing else in the world mattered. It made me sick because I wanted her for myself.I tried so damn hard to ignore it. I tried to forget how Athena looked when she smiled, how strong she was when she trained, how fierce and smart she sounded when she spoke. I tried to push all those feelings down, deep down where they wouldn’t grow but they grew anyway.And now, they were too big to ignore. I didn’t care about Paige anymore or what people would think. I didn’t care about the rules, I wanted Athena badly.When I found out my father was leaving the pack for two days for some boring-ass meeting, I was relieved because I had a plan.I waited until the morning of the second day. I kne

    Athena’s POVI was settling in as Luna just fine. Everything was going smoothly and the pack members were kind and supportive. They smiled at me when I passed by and called me "Luna!" and it made my heart feel full.Travis had traveled out of town for two days and I missed him so much. I already felt so lonely without him. I had worn one of his shirts to sleep; his favorite dark gray one that still smelled like him but it wasn’t the same. When I woke up I reached out to his side of the bed and found it empty and my chest ached.“I miss you,” I whispered to the empty room.I pushed myself out of bed and got dressed in my workout gear. Training helped me clear my head. It had slowly become one of my happy places, especially now that I had become stronger.I used to feel weak but now, I could take on anyone in my human form. And Matthew was so proud of my progress.I walked through the pack house and out toward the training field. “Good morning, Luna!” someone called. “Morning, Luna!” s

    Paige’s POVI stepped out of the packhouse, my heart beating fast inside my chest. The morning sun was warm on my skin, but it did nothing to calm the nerves twisting in my belly.It was my first day as Luna, and I had to go around the pack to meet the elders and pack members. It was a tradition and I couldn’t avoid, no matter how scared I was.The guards bowed as I passed, but I didn’t smile. I couldn’t because of how nervous I was. My hands were clenched tightly in front of me and my eyes stayed forward.The first stop was at Elder Hilltop’s place; Paige’s father. If Paige hated me, then Elder Hilltop hated me ten times more. He didn’t believe I deserved to be Luna. He believed I had stolen the title and I didn’t belong with Travis.And now, I had to walk into his home and pay cutsey visit. I reached his house, a tall, gray building at the edge of the elder’s quarters. Two steps led to his door. I took a deep breath before I climbed them. My hand trembled slightly as I reached for t

    Hudson’s POVI couldn't stand my father's wedding. Everything in me screamed to leave. The music, the flowers, the guests clapping, even the way the sun shined down on them; it all made me sick.Athena stood next to him, smiling. She wore a white dress that hugged her body so perfectly it made my chest ache. Her hair was long and shiny, her eyes sparkled, and her smile… her smile was not the one I used to know. This Athena was not mine. She was his.I didn’t wait for the vows. I turned around and walked out before they could even say “I do.”The moment I stepped outside, the air hit me hard. I felt like I had been holding my breath the whole time. My chest rose and fell fast. I felt messed up, sad and deserted. I had loved her once, maybe I didn’t know it at that time but now, she was Luna and my father's wife.I sat on the edge of the hill just staring into space tge next day.“The Athena I knew is gone,” I muttered to myself. “This one… this one is different. She’s stronger, colder,
