เข้าสู่ระบบHe chose his lover over his mate. Now that she’s back, he wants her forgiveness. The night Sebastian Stone, Alpha of the Nightwalker Pack, demanded that his wife donate her plasma to save his sick lover, Athena Montgomery finally realized the truth. She would never come first. So she slapped the woman who had stolen her husband, signed the divorce papers, and disappeared without looking back. Five years later, Athena returns as one of the most famous jewelry designers in the world—and the woman who hires her for an extravagant mating ceremony is the last person she ever expected to see. Sienna Gonzalez. The same weak omega Athena once nearly drained herself to save. But Sienna is no longer weak. And neither is Athena. Sebastian is stunned by the woman his ex-wife has become. He wants to explain why he betrayed her, why he rejected their mate bond, and why he never stopped loving her. But Athena wants nothing to do with him. Until strange accidents begin happening around her. Her designs are sabotaged. Her life is threatened. And when an attack by rogues nearly kills her, Sebastian is the one who saves her. For the first time, Athena begins to wonder if the monster she remembers was ever the whole truth. But Sienna isn’t about to let her take Sebastian away. What begins as jealousy soon turns into obsession, betrayal, and murder. When Athena is poisoned and left to die, Sebastian is forced to make an impossible choice—protect the woman his family expects him to marry, or sacrifice everything to save the mate he once destroyed.

“ Ping!" A message popped into my phone loudly.
Almost immediately, I rushed out of the bathroom with a towel round my chest, my body still dripping with water because I had not dried it properly.
I picked up my phone and read the message, ‘ please go over to the hospital and donate plasma as soon as you can!’ the message read.
I stared at the screen of my phone blankly, I felt a pang of pain in my chest but at this moment, I was helpless.
The message was from my supposed husband, Sebastian.
Suddenly, another message popped up on my phone.
“ Ping!"
I sighed deeply as I checked to see what it was about. It was a message from the bank, I had received a fund transfer of $750,000 from Sebastian.
“ Goddamn you, Sebastian!" I cursed through gritted teeth as I scrolled through my chats with my so-called mate, Sebastian. Our marriage was strained, although I was his destined mate, he still despised me and only accepted me as his because of Sienna, his lover.
‘ don't forget to go to the hospital'
‘ fund transfer of $500,000’
‘ you are needed at the hospital immediately!’
‘ fund transfer of $800,000’
I had no other intimate or romantic chats with him anymore, our chats were just filled with donations of plasma and fund transfers. I was a powerful white she wolf, that was why my plasma was needed by Sienna, a weak omega who had been suffering from a severe disease ever since she was born.
In our five long and excruciating painful years of marriage, my mate, Sebastian Stone, only spoke to me or made contact with me only to donate or more likely, sell my plasma to none other than Sienna Gonzalez.
Our strained marital relationship was so bad up to the point that I was not allowed to bear his surname as mine. I was treated like a total stranger by Sebastian.
This month alone, I donated my plasma more than ten times! And it was much more than my body could handle.
Feeling down, I plopped down on my bed, I could feel my eyes become sour and watery.
Our pack house was situated at the outskirts of town, away from the prying eyes of the curious humans and it was two hours drive to the hospital and I wasn't in the mood to go anywhere.
I was sad and more especially angry with myself for accepting him as my mate and entering a loveless marriage with a heartless monster!
Although I was a powerful she wolf, The excessive donations I made over the month made me feel weak and drowsy.
“ I'm tired, Athena" my wolf, lurline, growled. " Our mate is toxic”
I sighed deeply, I too was tired. " I know, lurline” I replied.
Biting down on my lower lips, I held onto my phone, staring down at the recent message Sebastian sent. I was unsure whether I should reply to it or not.
Just as I was contemplating on whether to reply or not, a message that threatened to destroy my remaining ounce of self respect popped up in my phone.
‘ ping!!’ it rang ruthlessly.
‘ you fucked up home wrecker!’ it read. ‘ You are nothing but a contracted wife to Sebastian Stone, your marriage with him is just based on lies and deceit! A loveless marriage! You are nothing but a shameless runt! Although you had been married to Sebastian for five long years he had never even touched you or acknowledged that you were his wife!’
I felt my eyes sting with tears, the pain in my heart becoming much more worse. My eyelids became heavy, I could hardly continue to stare at this vague message. I felt suffocated and broken. Of course I was Sebastian Stone's legal wife! Five years ago I left my family and close friends to be with this monster of a husband only to be called a home wrecker by some unknown person?!
Following the despicable message, a picture popped up in my phone yet again. It was Sebastian's calm sleeping face which looked as handsome and as flawless as always. Although I despised Sebastian, I could not help but be drawn to his handsome, delicate and well sculpted facial features which looked like they were sculpted patiently by the moon goddess herself. His dark long hair cascaded down his face, covering up a part of his closed eyes and lord..he looked so yummy!
My eyes traveled to the other person in the picture, which was none other than Sienna Gonzalez. She was nestled in Sebastian's shoulder and although both their eyes were cold, I could not help but notice the sly smirk at the corner of Sienna's lips which showed she was wide awake.
I knew she intentionally did this just to mock me and make me feel even more pained and dejected as ever. Why did she derive joy doing this and what the hell was her reason behind all her foolish actions?!
Just as I was drowning with my misery, my phone suddenly rang, bringing me back to reality.
I looked at the caller id and it was my mother in law, Scarlett Stones, the former Luna of the pack, calling. Just like her son, she was also a handful, another problem I had to deal with.
I rolled my eyes and picked it up.
“ Ma'am” I greeted with a low, gruff voice.
But, instead of reciprocating my greetings, she hollered at the other end of the phone.
" Lazy elephant! Have you forgotten what day it is?! The maids are on break and you need to come and do the dishes, arrange the house and cook for us immediately!”
Without saying a word, I quietly hung up the phone and lowered my head, tears streaming down my cheeks.
Why me? I always asked myself. Why was my life so painful?! I had done everything to please this goddamn pack I entered as a daughter in-law but no one appreciated my hard work! At this point, I was overwhelmed with anger and frustration, no one dared to treat me as trash, never!
I was supposed to be the young Luna of the nightwalker pack but instead, I was treated like trash by both my mate, his family and even the pack members, a nobody! But, despite all these treatments I stayed meek and humble with the fear of upsetting Sebastian.
“ Was my five years of marriage with Sebastian just a joke?” I asked myself. “
Why did Sebastian despise me so much? What have I ever done to him? Was falling in love with him a crime?
I was not a golddigger, I didn't marry him for his money nor did I accept him as my mate because of his reputation yet he treated me like one! Always sending me money to go and do something as filthy as donating my plasma to that bitch, Sienna, all without my free will!
I raised my head up, anger coursing through my veins.
“ It's time for the joke of a marriage to be over" I muttered to myself as I picked up my phone.
Instead of replying to Sebastian's message with what he wanted to hear, I sent another thing instead.
‘ Let's get a divorce, I'm ready to accept your rejection as your mate! I'm done!’

Athena & Sebastian's POV Athena's povI sighed contentedly as I savored the brilliant glow of the fall sunset streaming over the large den windows. I curled in my beloved overstuffed chair while ribbons of blazing orange and crimsons bathed the old timber beams in warm, nostalgic colors.Though my face showed the wrinkles and lines from a very busy life, I felt an ageless tranquility cover me like a gentle, reassuring blanket. Once so brilliant and strong, my piercing blue eyes now reflected a calm ocean of earned knowledge and fulfillment.A faintly familiar smell of cedarwood and spice floated around as two strong, worn-out hands gently rested on my thin shoulders with learned sensitivity. Sebastian bent down to tenderly kiss my forehead, and I reached up to grab his palm. "You look so wonderfully calm, my eternal goddess," he said softly, his voice rasping but preserving that virile tone that still made my heart flutter after all these years. Looking up at him with a gentle smil

I wore a forced smile on my worn
Anna POVAcross the sandstone walls of the den, soft candlelight danced shadows that appeared to bring the old etchings to life. Scenes of great wars, somber ceremonies, and the otherworldly visues of the ancient ones danced in the dazzling light. I inhaled steadying, letting the holy aura envelop me as I dropped myself onto the soft fur before the ceremonial fire pit. My fingertips gently stroked the strong wood lovingly white oak blessed by Luna Amara herself, drenched in berries. Its airy, cleansing tendrils brushed my flesh like a phantom mist.Since I had formally adopted Alpha's mantle, today was the first full moon. A fresh moon cycle was breaking through a fresh era.
