ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW "How dare he?! Who in the world does he even think he is?!" I fumed as I barged into my room. "The effrontery Sebastian Stone!" I bellowed.He had always thought he owned me, like the mere breath I breathe was his to control. How dare he think that it was okay to hurt me after years of giving myself to him, and then wake up one day and remind me of it all. "How dare he?!"I paced up and down my room hoping for just enough breath to curse the existence of the man who ruined my life. A man who took my ability to live and tossed it into trash. Now he felt sorry, Sebastian Stone was sorry for hurting me? What a joke. Where were his ice cold shoulders now? And what did they hope to achieve by trying to make a fool of me? I had had enough of the Stone family, if this contract wasn't damn binding, I would have let it go already. Now I had to finish the stones and get out of this stupid city.I picked up my phone and it was another message from Sienna saying she had c
SEBASTIAN STONE'S POINT OF VIEW I received a call that night as I walked through the woods to the Mansion. Ever since someone broke into the Greenhouse and destroyed the replicas Athena had been working with, I began to be more conscious. As she walked home that night, I followed her, not because I thought she couldn't handle herself but because I knew something was wrong.Earlier as I did a full walk through of the Mansion grounds, my phone rang and the security at the gate said he had seen two men following Athena after she left the Mansion grounds.I decided to follow her immediately, and he wasn't wrong. If I hadn't gotten there in time, she would have been killed."What business did she have with the Black Moon Pack that made them want to attack her?" I wondered as I bandaged her arm while she slept.She lost alot of blood, and needed to rest. I wasn't going to leave her side until she was string enough.I watched her lashes flutter before they came open. How did I ever manage t
ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEWHe was gone before I woke up, he had made breakfast; toast and beef sauce.I had never known Sebastian to be so kind and it made me wonder what he was hoping to achieve with all this, after all, he was getting married to Sienna.My phone rang, it announced through the room"Call from Valerie...call from Valerie""Hello," I picked it up"Good morning Ma'am ""Good morning Valerie, what is it?" I asked, my body still hurting from the fight."We received a call from a new contractor this morning but she asked to speak to you directly, so I asked her to hold on while I put a call across to you" Valerie explained."Did she say why?" I asked."No Ma'am, she simply asked for you specifically. She said it's urgent and would prefer you handled it specifically" Valerie replied"What a strange request," I thought to myself. "Put her through" It only took a few minutes before the deep female voice sounded through my speaker."Athena Montgomery?" The voice said"Yes, that's
SEBASTIAN'S POINT OF VIEWSienna was the first person to find out I had returned. As soon as I opened the door, there she was, I immediately wondered if she had heard everything Mateo and I had discussed."You didn't sleep at home last night" she whined in a childlike manner. Sienna had always been innocent that way"I...I had an emergency to deal with at the office, stayed late, and couldn't come home" I replied avoiding her gaze."Athena hasn't shown up yet for the jewelry and we are running out of time. I told you we should assign the job to another. We can't rely on her." She said. I understood she was worried about the marriage but after last night, I wasn't even expecting Athena to show up today."She will come, give her a bit more time," I said plainly."Sebastian, we don't need her, there are a lot of other special and uncomplicated designers to work with." She pressed on."We'll talk about this later, I need to clean up," I said and excused myself.Mateo had to solve the silv
ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW I arrived at the Stone Mansion three hours later to meet Sienna, she had been blowing up my phone all morning. It made me wonder if she cared about my presence at the mansion at all."You called," I said walking into the Greenhouse."Where the heck have you been all morning?!" She bellowed at me. I scowled at her for the sake of her audacity."I mean, I've been trying to call you, I was worried sick" Her sudden change of tone caught me off guard. I turned to look behind me and it suddenly made sense, Sebastian walked in."Has any progress been made?" He asked, his voice gruff and stiff. He looked ruffled and out of sorts. Something was bothering him and it was obvious.My gaze remained on him even though his focus had shifted. What could have been bothering the great Sebastian Stone?"We were just about to begin" I replied in an equally stuff tone. It drew his attention. He stared at me for mini second before turning to Sienna. "How was work?" She asked placi
ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW" I don't understand what you are trying to pull Sienna, don't you have like a ceremony to plan or something? The full moon will be out in a fourth moon's time, from my standpoint, you must have a lot to do." I said to her."Why? So you can have Sebastian to yourself? Well, isn't it obvious? He never loved you then, he doesn't care about you now. In a fourth moon's time like you said, our union will be sealed with blood and we will be bound mates for life. Something you never got the chance to achieve " she smirked.I simpered at her naivety, "Tsk tsk tsk, poor Sienna, you're the only one who thinks there's a prize we are both competing for. There is absolutely nothing and I mean absolutely nothing you and I have in common. Not even Sebastian Stone, because I divorced him and you, you're just eating up my leftovers like you always do. Just like my plasma saved your life, my divorce from Sebastian Stone is the only reason you're still in this house. So, go wash
ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW I took off my jacket in front of the mirror and gaped at my arm. The wound was completely gone. Not even a sign that I had ever been hurt. I pulled out the necklace Rojas had given to me, even now in the fasin light of day, it still glowed.As I stared closely at it, that's when I saw it, the bird.The same fleur-de-lis I had seen on the Stone Family ring. What was the connection? Why did the my mother's stone have the same insignia as the Stones Family ring? What was the connection? I wondered.It also made me wonder why the Nightwalker pack were the ones who found me. Aunt Jasmine had only specified that my Mother left me on the bridge. Suddenly, I was wielding a power stone and that meant I could be a target, but what did it have to do with the Stone family though?My screen lit up and the first thing I saw was a message from Rodriguez, the bronze was ready. I texted him my address and asked him to drop it off first thing in the morning.As I stared out at
ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEWScarlett Stone was obviously a well feared woman and many had dared not utter a word to her. So my shock was justified when I walked into the Stone house and found her ranting about my incompetence."It's been three weeks now, Sebastian. Where is that incompetent fool?!" She yelled. He just stood there watching her."Athena will be here soon, Mother. I don't think name calling is quite important." He said in that deep tone of his which usually held no expression except a dark tiredness."I'm sure, that's what you said fifteen minutes ago. The engagement party is tomorrow night, Sienna's jewelries aren't even ready yet. How did we hire such a person." She ventedI stood at the door listening to them without bothering to go in. I was meant to be remorseful and rush in there but Scarlett had always done her best job belittling me. The jewelries were ready and Valerie was bringing them, should I tell her or should I not? I asked myself a naughty smile forming on my
