Tonight, is the night Athena and Dominic will make the same wish, their hearts are connected. The fates designed; the moon aligned. The lives of these fated mates are about to change; their paths are about to cross. The powerful, playboy Alpha Dominic Thunders will meet his feisty mate Athena Breeze, Alpha female and lead pack warrior who is ready to reject him on sight, or will she have a change of heart?
Dominic’s P.O.V
I transform into my midnight black wolf, my fangs elongate, and my claws are out. I’m down on all fours and I know my eyes are red I feel Striker smile, he hasn’t been out in a while we look up and howl at the blood moon. We both ask the moon goddess for one thing “this year please bless us with the presence of our gorgeous mate. We need her, I need her. Wherever she is I am willing to go to the ends of the earth to find my love, Oh moon goddess. Please” I didn’t notice at first nor did I feel it, but Striker was howling at the moon in pain and despair, we were howling, calling for our mate, I didn’t know if she could hear us or if she even existed; but we called for her.
Athena’s P.O.V
I feel Nilsa connect with me, our eyes glowing gold. I hear her wish for a mate, I ask the moon goddess to not bring him to me. I do not want to have to reject him. I know I will love him on first scent and then sight. “I hope you can hear me! Please don’t bring him to me. Don’t complicate my life anymore. I know I need him; I know I already love him, but he won’t love me… I know he will reject me, and I don’t want to feel my heart break and my wolf die. If you bring him to me, I will reject him. I don’t care what happens!” I hear Nilsa whimper as she hears my prayer. “What if he loves us more than anything in this universe Athena? You won’t know because you won’t give him a chance”. I feel the earth beneath me vibrate and Nilsa lifts our head to the moon and lets out the most heart-breaking howl, as if she were responding to a calling, I move to the depth of her mind feeling my own heart break… Was my wolf right? Would I lose someone who would genuinely love me all because I was afraid of opening up to the idea of a mate after a dumb failed teenage crush? These questions haunted me for the next couple of days.
***One Week Later***
Athena’s P.O.V
I’m stuck in the office and it’s a little colder than usual, I am super bored since my mom is away on a business trip and my father is well being a grade one a-hole. Since my mom hasn’t given me the heads up on when I will assume her position most of my life has been put on hold and all she talks about is me going and exploring the world. Don’t get me wrong, I want to and will just not at this moment, scrolling through Instagram when a get a private message notification. I decide to open and read it, after a few minutes, I think of chatting I stalk the page and I am blown away. Not only is he devilishly handsome he is also Alpha Dominic Thunders! WHAT THE ACTUAL! We are currently trying to form an alliance with the Red moon pack and here I am like a total asshole flirting with their soon-to-be Alpha! His not even my mate, I should not be enjoying this, then again, he is so damn gorgeous and as far as I know he doesn’t have a mate yet either. I feel Nilsa smile in my head, “What is it Nilsa” she ignores me. The after a while she pipes up “You’ll find out soon darling” and blocks me out before I can even question further. I shrug it off and log of Instagram after giving him my number. I can’t be too easy you know. Besides it will just be casual flirting and then that’s it, what could possibly go wrong?
And boy oh boy, did those words come to bite me fast!
Athena’s P.O.VIt has been three day. Thirty minutes and forty-five seconds since we brought our beautiful baby girl Zephyra home from the hospital; she was nothing short of a miracle baby, fighting her way into this world against all odds. My mother had decided to come stay with us for a few days to help me move around and Dominic’s mom was in and out of the house making sure we ate timeously. Dominic had to attend urgent pack meetings in regard to security and also
Athena’s P.O.VIt had been a month since the baby shower and I had not opened up any of the gifts that arrived the day after the baby shower and the nursery was not even painted, when is my due date you ask? Ha-ha! Any day! Apparently, my kid looks like he/she will always be on time unlike me; the momma always just making it on time or making a grand entrance. I jumped out of the bed and went to shower. Dominic was fast asleep; he had worked late the entire week after the baby shower and h
Dominic’s P.O.VAthena is almost six months pregnant and at the last ultrasound the doctor informed us to be ready for the baby to arrive within the next month, Athena and I have been doing the nursery up in neutral colours, we want the gender of our baby to be a surprise; mood swings with Athena have been interesting, she moves from happy to angry to sad and crying to confused about what happened. Her counselling to deal with the trauma has been going well and we recently stopped because Athena felt that she was over everything that had happened, I wa
The weeks leading up to the wedding date 14th November was not only exciting but also stressful; Dominic had been pushing the construction company to finish up so that Katherine and the girls could get the decor company in and let them set up, and the wedding invites had been sent to the selected few outside the pack; Athena and Dominic had opted for a Garden wedding and a Beach party reception. Katherine had the decor company set up the seaside facing part of the yard with clear Tiffany chairs and a white carpet for the bridal party to walk down; red rose petals would be scattered just before the bridal party arrived. The wedding altar was a square draped with white net and she had insisted that the tie backs be red, the backdrop behind the priest was t
Athena’s P.O.VI woke up to the beautiful sound of seagulls and the calming ocean, I looked down at my hand and realised none of last night was a dream; I was now engaged to Dominic Thunders and the ring on my finger was nothing short of beautiful. It was a crescent moon encrusted with black diamonds and a dangling star that had a clear diamond on a gold band; I tried to turn in bed to face my fiance but he just pulled me closer to him. He thought I was trying to get out of bed
Dominic’s P.O.VDay three, Athena still had not woken up. The pack had decided that they would hold off all burials and memorials of their loved ones, as they would feel it would be disrespectful to their Luna and Alpha; whom they revered so much. I on the other hand refused to leave Athena’s side, my eyes were red from the lack of sleep and my body had aches all over. I had refused to eat anything until Athena woke up and since then my weight and muscle had started to degenerate; it
