"She did enough, now I will say what you are going to do." The powerful and cold voice commanded from the entrance of the pack house, stilling and freezing everyone on their spot. A look of fear plastered on each of their faces as they slowly looked at the door at their... ALPHA. Even though Suzanne and Patricia didn't tell their men about what was happening here because they wanted Athena to handle it, one of the guards mind-linked them already and told them what was happening here. Because he was afraid that they wouldn't be able to handle the angry crowd. Dominic and others immediately decided to come back because they were aware of how their members can act when they are angry. They reached there a few minutes ago. They were there for enough time to witness how Athena was handling the pack. Dominic was astonished the way everyone calmed down by Athena's one command. How eager they were to fulfil her wish considering that as a command! Isn't that just great that his pack was
"Dominic?" Athena called him softly while taking slow steps toward him. They managed to convince her at last into taking the responsibility of calming him down. She also understood the importance of it because Dominic really needed to calm down at that moment. She didn't know what happened that triggered him so much but she needed to stop him from adding another problem to his list by killing his own pack members. But her voice did nothing to him at first. He didn't move nor did he look at her. He seemed determined of whatever was going on in his head. So, she decided to close the distance between them some more and put her right hand on his shoulder hesitantly. That seemed to break the trance he was in and he snapped his head toward her with his eyes still holding the glare in. She almost flinched at the ruthlessness in his eyes and that did the rest of the work to bring him out of his stance completely. No matter what he could never ever see her being scared of him. "Put him
"Dominic! Wait, stop! Stop!" Athena shouted behind him, to stop him but he wasn't even listening to her. No matter how much she ran behind him, he was walking away too fast for her to catch up. But she didn't stop, she ran and upon reaching him, she pulled him by his bicep to make him face her. "Dominic!" She exclaimed while breathing hard. She ran a long distance behind him. They were currently standing inside their mansion. And she has been trying to talk to him from the pack house. It's a quite good distance between the pack house and the mansion. "What is it?!" He asked in a cold tone as soon as he turned to face her. He didn't look at her face but there was a look of irritation on his face and she knew what was the reason. It was because of the question that the pack member asked at the end. He looked at her as soon as she asked them the question and she looked away. Athena didn't notice then but there was a look of discomfort and displeasure on her face. She realised it late
"Mommy? Mommy!" Athena jumped out of the thoughts she was in after hearing Ace's loud voice, calling her. She looked at him with widened eyes and found him looking at her with a confused frown and a cute little pout. An apologetic smile immediately came up on her face. "I am so sorry, baby! Mommy was thinking something." She apologised while kissing his cute nose, making him giggle. She laughed seeing his scrunched up nose and kissed it again. "What do you think, mommy?" He asked in a cute and confused tone as he looked up at her from the kitchen slab where he was sitting at that moment. They were currently in the kitchen, preparing dinner together. She was cooking while her cute little bundle of happiness and joy was giving her company. 'I don't want you to cut your finger, so I will watch you cook.' He said so when she tried to make him watch the cartoon so that she could cook. But couldn't deny his demand after he presented it so cutely. She can't imagine her life without
"CAREFUL!" Athena closed her eyes to embrace the upcoming pain as Ace clung himself with her. But the thing they were preparing themselves for never came. Athena felt a strong arm wrapping themselves around her waist which prevented her from falling down. The mind alluring scent already let her know who it was. "Dominic!" She exclaimed in a whispering tone. She let out a sigh of relief and hugged him tighter even after getting her balance back. She didn't feel like pulling back. Her heart was beating loudly inside her chest and she could feel his heartbeat as well. It was racing miles in one second. He was worried and scared for her and Ace. He didn't want them to get hurt. He was really scared for them. She slowly pulled away from the hug even though she didn't want to and looked at him with a worried look and found him looking at her the same way. He was breathing hard as he looked at both their faces for any kind of visible wound. But they were absolutely fine. "Are you okay
"About your papa?" Dominic asked with a frown with his eyes fixed on Athena's face. His face was blank, not letting her see any emotions while her face was filled with nervousness. She didn't know why she was so nervous. "Yes, about my papa." Ace replied with a grin, taking both of their attention back to him who was grinning back at them with a mischievous look on his face. "What about your papa? Tell me about it. I also want to know." Dominic said with a smirk while walking toward the dining table and sitting on the chair with Ace. "Mommy was missing my papa." Ace said with a grin while looking at his mummy who was looking at him with widened eyes. "Ace!" She hissed in frustration, not knowing what to say at that moment. When did her little boy get so cheeky and mischievous? She knew he was learning all these from their little group of friends. She is going to teach all of them a lesson! "Missing your papa? Why? Was it making her sad?" Dominic asked, his eyes fell back
AFTER DINNER "You are still going to stay silent about it, aren't you?!" Dominic hissed at her back as she continued to wash the dishes, without looking at him even for a second. She has been avoiding her, causing irritation within himself. "What do you mean?" She asked in a blank tone while wiping her hands on her apron. She has just finished washing the dishes. She was going to turn away from there once again when he had enough and stopped her by holding her elbow. But she immediately pulled her hand away and walked toward the dining table without replying to him or looking at him. "I can't believe you, Athena! You are still pretending to be clueless! Seriously?" He hissed in frustration before walking behind her till the dining table once again. That's what he has been doing after they finished dinner and Ace went to his room to prepare for sleeping. Athena has been walking back and forth between the dining table and the kitchen and he has been following her like a desperate
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT Dominic sat up straight from the bed with a look of restlessness on his face. It was the middle of the night but he couldn't sleep. He looked at the empty side of his bed and let out a sigh. It's not like they started to share bed officially or anything. They did sleep on the bed a few times from the time she came back to his life. But they, no, she didn't agree to move into his room with him. He didn't even force or say anything to her regarding it. But then why does it still feel so empty beside him? 'We need our mate. Only she can fulfill us. Only she can help us out of this misery. Go to our mate. Hold her close to our heart. We need her as much as she needs us.' His wolf whined in his head, making him clench his jaw tightly. He was helpless and his wolf's demand wasn't helping him even though those words made sense. "We can't force ourselves on her! We have caused her enough heartache and misery, let's give her some break. Let's not disturb her a
