Sorry for the late update but here you go. The battle is beginning. What do you think will happen when Axel finds Vanessa? Dont forget to leave a review and thanks for reading xoxo
Athena’s POVShe stalked towards me her fangs on show as if she were trying to scare me. If only she knew what I had actually been through in my life, then she’d know I didn’t scare easy; not anymore. I was however scared to harm the pup growing inside me. Jumping in the air she tried to land her elbow to my head, but I moved just in time. Instead, her elbow connected with the floor. Seeing a chance, I leapt onto her back extending my canines and piercing her neck. I felt a zap of electricity seep into my skin the deeper my canines went, a feeling that felt almost blissful. She screamed while throwing herself backwards making my back thump against the wall so hard it knocked the air out my lungs. My grip on her releasing as I slid down the wall. She growled grabbing hold of my hair. Pulling my head up, her knee appeared under my chin before I even saw it coming, her movements were quick and precise; I had underestimated her. My head flung backwards hitting the wall, sending my vision
Axels POV Convincing Johnson we would hold our position and wait for reinforcements was easier than expected. I told him to return to his position and await further instructions. William was right, he had been compelled. Giving him a head start myself and Jake followed him keeping distance between us. He led us straight to the warehouse my mother had been holding up in. Sending a mind link to my pack warriors and Jake to his we waited for them to come, not that they were too far away. My mother had infiltrated my security employees, using them now in her fucked-up games, once this was over I would without a doubt be eliminating my entire staff even though it would mean starting again. I had seen enough, this needed to end, and it needed to end quickly. The strike we would make against the evil, those with cold, uncaring, and dead hearts had been long, long overdue. We set about creating an ambush for they who always expected to remain at the top of the chain, we had one rule; not a s
Athena’s POV I wake as if it's an emergency, as if sleeping had become a dangerous thing. My heart beats fast and there is a buzzing in my brain that sends electric pulses through my body as it replays the last few scenes from before blacking out. I had been bitten by a vampire then the witches, they were chanting but I couldn’t understand what they were saying, I knew it was Latin because of the dialect but I didn’t know the language. Sitting up and looking around I had been placed back in my room. Had they not learned I wouldn’t stay put? Not when my pup was the target. Walking to the doorway I stopped in my tracks when I hear the muffled voices of both Hector and my mum. I tried to listen in but only managed to pick up fragments of their conversation. What I heard sent a pang of pain to my heart. Axel had been intimate with Vanessa before knocking her unconscious. The worst part was that he done a bodge job of a c-section to remove the pup after finding out her pregnancy had been m
Athena’s POV The moment I walked past my family and mates my stomach began to churn. I had killed my sister, the baby in which shared mum’s womb and the girl I was once inseparable from. Though those memories now replaced with nightmares. She had been my biggest tormentor, the one to make me hate myself the most. Rounding the corner, I could hear Axels screams as the mate bond he had with Vanessa snapped. I had forgotten he would feel the pain of her death, though a small slither of me felt he deserved it. I remember Uncle Nick telling us how it felt when he lost Aunt Marie. He said the pain was so intense he felt as though he couldn’t breathe. That every part of him ached, his heart broken, and a feeling of emptiness consumed him. It wasn’t something he had ever wished on anyone, except the man that took his mate from him. That’s how I felt about Vanessa. She took everything from me, my mate, my chance to give him a first born and a love that would have been epic. The mate bond kept
Hector’s POVI knew I was hard on Athena, but I needed her to understand the seriousness of her actions. She had always been the more sensible out of us so to see her make a split-second decision like that, it was terrifying. It wasn’t just her life she was now risking but that of our pups. If something happened to either of them it would finish me. Axel had been distant since he returned. His pup placed in the children’s ward at the hospital as he refused to bond with her. Everything had turned from bad to utter shit. We were avoiding each other even though we knew we needed to be together to accomplish what needs to be done. To harness the power of my mates it would likely kill me, but that was the duty of a silver wolf. To protect the gifted wolves. I had blocked out the emotions of my mates, their feelings blending and merging with my own it felt like my head would burst.Knowing we wouldn’t have long until the evil bitch reared her ugly head again, I headed to Axel’s office. I kne
Axels POV The moment Hector drank from the bowel I felt a tether stronger than the mate bond snap into place. He was now connected to me in every possible way. I was pissed off immensely, I had told him not to do this and by the sounds of it, Athena had too. Harnessing too much power at once when your not used to it can be dangerous in more ways than one. Some the power kills, their bodies unable to control and contain it, while others become power mad like my mother’s bloodline. Hungry for more that soon channelling wouldn’t be enough. They would want a permanent fix, whereas the channelling would only last while our blood was in his system. This meant he would only have twenty-four hours before the spell was over; that’s if he could survive. “How do you feel Hector?” Jakes voice held a worried tone, he had watched him grow from a boy to a man. If something happened, it would be heart breaking for him to tell his parents. Hector didn’t answer, instead stuck his arm to the side allo
Athena’s POVI couldn’t help the chuckle that left me when Axel singed Aunt Marie’s fur. The growl she gave him really did cheer me up. I could feel his hesitation about being near me, but truthfully, I was grateful he hadn’t left my side. As much as I’d hated to admit it, I felt safer with him. Everything moved so quickly, more and more portals began to open allowing more wolves to enter. We were surrounded. Axles pack warriors had been blocked from the pack house with some kind of barrier spell. My mum and dad’s wolves were fighting side by side the entire time. They were the ideal couple, something I had hope me and my mates would one day become. They loved, moved and fought as one. Axel was fighting in human form as Thor had retreated following the death of my sister, though he was able to use his fire element to take out the odd opponent here and there. If he could take them down safely that was without burning the entire place to the ground. With us stuck in here that would be a
Athena’s POV Magic zapped through the air. The more they used the harder it became to breathe. Their standoff was still going, each of them proving just how well skilled they were. The heat in the room was becoming unbearable as all their spent energy made the air heavy. Axel had created a sword made of fire, he slashed and swiped it towards his mother but even for an older woman she was quick. I wanted to help him but the more he channelled the weaker I became. I may hate him at the moment, but I didn’t want him to die. No. I wanted to make him suffer, to grovel and then I would decide whether or not I wanted him.I was snapped back to my surroundings when Axel cursed. His own flame sword embedded in his stomach. He tried to pull it out, but it wouldn’t budge, his mother laughing as he struggled.“Silly boy. I have more power than you could possibly fathom. Each one of my ancestors passed their own power down when they died and as a result, I’m the strongest yet. Throw in the perks
