Rejected by my Mate, Desired by his Enemy. Chapter Twelve: Signed Away Athena’s POV
Darion’s words caught me off guard. I looked at him, still holding my phone.A few months ago.We’ve been spending nearly every evening together. Darion started leaving small things at my place, and Lia had grown used to asking when he was coming over. Our relationship was becoming serious, and I knew I couldn’t keep avoiding a conversation that should have happened much earlier.He was putting away the plates after dinner when I told him there was something he needed to know.He turned from the kitchen counter. “You sound like you’re about to tell me you’ve committed a crime.”“Can you be serious for once?”“I am serious. I’m also trying to stop you from frightening me before you’ve said anything.”I didn’t laugh. He noticed and set the plate down.“What’s wrong?”“There’s something about me that I haven’t told you.”“Alright.”“I’m not human, Darion. I’m a werewolf.”He watched me for a few seconds, as if waiting for me to add something that would make the statement easier to under
Rejected by my Mate, Desired by his Enemy. Chapter 11: The message Athena’s POV
The sender had given me another reason to question what I thought I knew, then disappeared before I could ask a single question. I placed my phone on the bedside table and got out of bed. Whatever Nadia knew about my past could wait until I had a chance to speak to her properly.I had enough to deal with already.By the time I entered the kitchen, Darion was standing beside the counter, pouring coffee into two cups. He glanced at me and pushed one across the counter.“You’ve been awake for a while,” he observed.“I had something on my mind.”“Something I should know about?”I took the cup. “Would you tell me if there was something I should know about you?”He looked at me over the rim of his cup. “That depends on what you’re asking.”“Convenient answer.”A small smile appeared on his face. “I was hoping you’d be in a better mood this morning.”“I was, until you started talking.”He laughed and came around the counter, placing a hand at my waist before kissing my forehead.“You’re diff

He looked at me for several seconds before reaching for the glass of water on the counter.“Your past is more complicated than you have told me, Athena.”I stared at him. “That wasn’t my question.”“I know what you asked, and I promise there are things I will explain when I can.”“When you can, or when you decide I deserve to know?”He placed the glass down. “I don’t want to lose what we have because of something I haven’t figured out myself.”Before I could respond, his phone rang. He checked the screen and stepped away to answer it.I caught only a few words before he lowered his voice.“Not now, Scanlan. Handle it without involving her.”He ended the call and slipped the phone into his pocket.“Something has happened,” I asked.“Nothing you need to worry about.”Apparently, that was his favourite answer.I moved into his home, but there were still rooms in his life I wasn’t allowed to enter.The following morning, I found Lia sitting among the unpacked boxes in the spare room.“Mum
Rejected by my Mate, Desired by his Enemy. Chapter 9: The Things He Won’t Say Athena’s POV
I had replayed my manager’s phone call so many times that I could remember every pause in his voice.I was still staring at my phone when Darion walked into the bedroom.“You’re awake early.”“I didn’t sleep much.”He leaned down and kissed my forehead. “Lia’s already downstairs.”I put my phone facedown.Darion noticed.“What’s wrong?”“Your friend visited my workplace.”His expression changed. “Which friend?”“Don’t do that.”He straightened. “Athena—”“Scanlan. He went to the café and asked my manager about me. Whether I still worked there. What time I usually finished.”Darion said nothing.That silence told me more than I wanted it to.“How long have you known?”“I didn’t know he’d gone to your workplace.”“But you knew he was asking questions.”He rubbed his jaw. “I asked him to check something for me.”“What?”“That you were safe.”I stared at him. “You have my number. You live with me. What exactly was stopping you from asking me yourself?”He moved closer, but I stepped away.
Rejected by my Mate, Desired by his Enemy. Chapter 8: The Move Athena’s POV
Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Elder Corvin standing over me, a blade in his hand, collecting my blood as though it belonged to him.Why would he do that? What did my blood have to do with that strange symbol?I had no answers, and the disappearance of those photographs had only made things worse.Still, I had agreed to move in with Darion. Perhaps I was making another mistake, but I couldn’t keep running from every uncertainty. Not when Lia was finally happy.“Mommy! Are we taking my teddy or leaving him here?”I looked up. Lia stood beside her little suitcase, holding the teddy by one leg.“He’s coming. You think I’d leave your bodyguard behind?”She giggled and shoved him into the case.A knock sounded at the door.“That’s probably your very impatient boyfriend,” I muttered.Darion walked in before I could reach the handle, carrying two cups of coffee.“Good morning to my favourite girls.”“You’re late,” I said.He checked his watch. “I’m three minutes early.”“Exactly. I expec
Rejected by my Mate, Desired by his Enemy. Chapter 7: Blood He Took Athena’s Pov
The bell above the door chimed as I entered the photography studio. I approached the counter, gripping my handbag.The studio owner, a graying man with sharp eyes, looked up from the camera lens he was cleaning. “Can I help you?”“I’m looking for some photographs taken at some ceremony,” I said. “From years ago.”His hand paused. “We don’t keep archives from that far back. Everything has been discarded or lost.”“It was the Ashari ceremony,” I pressed. “Nadia sent me. She said you would have them.”At Nadia’s name, his expression changed. He disappeared into the back room, leaving me to wait beneath the ticking wall clock.When he returned, he carried a faded manila envelope. He slid it across the counter. “The original selection was never published. Certain images were considered unsuitable for the final ceremony album.”“Unsuitable? What was wrong with them?”“I only develop what’s on the film, miss. If you’re smart, you won’t either.” He hurried into the back office.I opened the e
