Private scene

Athena's POV

My mind struggled to process the scene, the absurdity of it not quite sinking in.

Hudson and Paige having sex?

There was no way that was possibly happening!

Asides the fact that Paige was married to Hudson's brother, the Alpha crown Prince of the pack, the two were also sworn enemies.

Hudson had always had his eyes on the position of Alpha crown Prince, and he would do anything to snatch it from his brother.

Naturally, that brought bad blood between him and Paige. And I hadn't been spared either. Paige and her husband treated me like white trash.

So, how could I just explain this mentally gory scene that was playing before my eyes. I couldn't believe Hudson would be this disgusting?

My shock skyrocketed into rage as Paige's moans got louder. I quickly clicked some pictures as evidence in case they tried denying it just before I banged on the door angrily.

"Am I intruding on some very private scene?" Venom glittered in my words.

They leapt apart, a collective gasp tearing out of their throat. Hudson was the first to get up, shock flashing across his face.

“Athena— I—” He stuttered like a fool as he approached me. "I swear, I can explain this."

His words ignited fury in my blood, numbing the pain that was unfurling in my heart.

"Alright, explain. Explain why I just watched you pound your shaft into your brother's wife? Is it like some rehearsal of an epic p**n movie I wasn't told about?"

Anger flashed briefly in his eyes, then he sighed deeply.

"Really, Thena? Stop being sarcastic. This was a mistake and it isn't exactly my fault. If you had spent the night here this wouldn't have happened."

Gosh! I felt a strong urge to kill him right now? How could he be so brazen as to even blame me?

"Don't!" I gritted out. "Do not even call me by that pet name, you disgusting cheater! How could you blame me for your mishap?"

"Chill out, Athena. We can still settle this amicably." Paige shot in smugly.

Amicably? I scoffed in disbelief as I whipped my head towards her.

How could she even have the audacity to utter a word. Hers was even worse. She was married and already marked by her husband.

"Do you even feel ashamed?" I spat with contempt. "You are unbelievably disgusting! Both of you!"

"Still, shouting wouldn't solve this!" Hudson snapped. "What has happened. Let's just find a way forward."

Shock rendered me speechless.

"A way forward?" My voice rose an octave. "There's no way forward! It's over between us and I'm definitely letting the Alpha king, your father know about this shameless act of yours!"

"You won't dare!" He hollered furiously as he sprang at me and caught my wrist.

Before I could react, he slammed my back against the wall, glaring down at me.

"You are one to talk, huh? Do you even have the right to complain? We've been dating for two years despite your low status, but you never let me touch you!"

My jaws dropped. I couldn't believe he could actually utter such total gibberish. How could I have foolishly been in love with this animal for two years?

But he wasn't done.

"Yeah, I cheated on you, but is that so big a deal? You're way out of my league but I still took pity on you and dated you. But you can't even cut me some slack?"

"In case you've forgotten, you're a wolfless omega and you have no right to report me. Not to mention that you're the daughter of a traitor! You have no idea how scary my father can be. He could just strangle you to death immediately he sees you!"

His words were like a mighty punch to my gut. How could he rub more salt on my wound? How could he say it to my face that he dated me out of pity?

And how could he remind me of the very thing I wanted more than anything to forget?

When he had asked me out two years ago, he had said it didn't matter to him that my father had tried to kill his grandfather many years back.

He said he knew he was framed,.which was actually true. When I was ten years old,.my dad got framed for murder and since then, I, my mum, and.my sis have earned the title; "family of traitors"

I thought Hudson had believed in the story I told him, but he'd only be pretending. He'd always thought he was doing me a fvour by dating me.

Tears of anger welled up in my eyes but I blinked rapidly to push it back.

He wasn't worth my tears!

Hell! I'd be damned to give his ego the satisfaction of hurting me.

Before I could stop myself, my hand shot out impulsively and I smacked my palm against his face— hot and hard.

The sound cut across the room and he staggered backwards, clearly taken by surprise as he grabbed his cheeks.

A malicious glint flickered in his eyes and his nostrils flared in anger.

"How dare you lay your filthy hands on the future Alpha King of the pack?" He growled.

Unfazed, I snickered. "Stop being delusional! That you fucked the wife of the crown Prince doesn't automatically make you the future Alpha!"

"A disgusting animal like you can never be the Alpha king!" I spat. "At least, not if i showed the Pack's council this video of you banging your brother's wife!"

Before he could stop me, I breezed out of the room, determined to let the Alpha King learn of this huge atrocity of theirs.

The Alpha King's Apartment was farther from Hudson and it would take a while to get there except I followed the shorter route Hudson had told me about.

Not many people.knew about it and in record time, I had slipped into it, avoiding the sentinel who guarded the front gate.

"What a pleasure to see you again, Athena."

A voice drawled behind me and I froze.

The Alpha aura that rolled off the voice couldn't be ignored. It sounded exactly like the one from—

The ringing sound of my phone interrupted my thoughts and I humphed angrily.

I was in no mood to have an "over the phone" convo, no matter how short. I only wanted to focus on how to pay Hudson and Paige back in their own coins.

But a glance at my phone melted my anger. It was mom and I could never ignore her phone call, although I was so tempted this time.

"Hello, ma." I answered the phone.

"Your sister has just been taken away forcefully by the Crown Prince's sentinels. They said she stole the jewelry he bought for his wife!"

"What?"
