Mag-log inAthena was pregnant with Lucian’s child. Yet he couldn’t recognize her as his mate, due to the spell cast on her since birth, she had finally gotten rid of it and hoped that Lucian would recognize her but he didn’t. She hoped that once he claimed her as his chosen mate, she’d finally tell him that he was going to be a father. But then the palace caught fire. Lucian held Athena close leading her to safety, but Helena pulled him back. Athena fell, landing on her stomach on a burning pillar. She bled and lost the child. “Lucian!!” She called out to him. A burning curtain collapsed, scarring half her face. She fell unconscious, her heart slowed and her body was loosing warmth.Lucian rushed back cradling her burnt body. When he touched her, only then did he feel it. His wolf Growled MATE. But it was too late. Rogues attacked the palace as Lucian ran out carrying Athena bridal style. He called Helena and left Athena in her care. But Helena betrayed him, handing Athena over to the rogues. “This is what suits you. You wanted to take Lucian from me? No he is mine and mine alone.” Four years later, After Lucian searched endlessly for Athena but never found her. Now. She stood before him, eyes full of hate. Then a little boy ran up to Lucian pulling his sleeve and said: “Dad. Mom is calling you.” Their story is one of legend. The story of a Hybrid whispered among packs as a tale of destiny and courage. Athena’s journey was difficult. But even with all the hate she had in her heart. The power of love is stronger than that of the mind.
view moreThe palace halls were as grand and cold as Athena remembered.Days had passed since her release from the infirmary. The bruises had mostly faded, but the ache in her heart clung to her like a second skin. Mara had begged her not to return so soon, but the summons had come directly from the palace. There was work to be done. And she couldn’t afford to say no.She was no noble wolf. Just a wolf with a shattered bond and a fading heart.The Omegas quarters were tucked in the back of the estate, and Athena moved quietly through the halls, her head bowed, her cleaning uniform clinging to her newly healed form. The servants barely looked up, except for the whisperers that followed her like shadows.“Isn’t that the girl from the infirmary?”“ I heard Prince Lucian didn’t even visit her once.”“ Serves her right. Trying to steal Lady Helena’s place.”Athena kept walking.Her first take was to clean the king royal table in the main dining room. She worked quickly, her movements mechanical, unt
The sterile scent of antiseptic filled Athena’s nose as her eyes fluttered open under the soft glow of the infirmary lights. The rhythmic beeping of a heart monitor hummed beside her, steady and quiet.Her body ached, heavy like stone. Every breath burned.She shifted slightly and looked down, her right arm was tightly bandaged, and her leg elevated slightly, was wrapped in layers of white clear gauze. A tear slid from the corner of her eyes and fell silently on the hospital sheet.The memory slowly returned, jagged and cruel. The attack, the screaming, the blood. Her own voice calling out—“Lucian!”But he never came.Instead, as the fog had closed in around her, she remembered a silhouette.A man, tall and huge pulled her from the edge of death, but his face was a mystery.Before she could dwell longer, the door creaked open. A soft voiced nurse stepped in, clipboard in hand concern in eyes.“You’re awake.” She said gently, walking over. “How are you feeling dear?”Athena hesitated
The golden rays of the morning sun poured through the high windows of the royal palace, casting a warm glow across the grand marble staircase. Prince Lucian descended down the steps the fluid grace of a trained warrior, dressed in nothing but sport shorts, a black tank top clinging to his chiselers chest, and sleek black sneakers. A white towel dropped casually around his neck, and a water bottle swung from one hand. His jaw tense, his blue piercing eyes alert as the prince looked every inch of the Alpha he was born to be.He moved past the guards with a nod and broke into a light jog, weaving through the manicured palace gardens. As he ran, his dark hair tousled by the breeze, more than a few she wolves stopped their tasks to admire him, whispering and giggling as he passed.The admiration in their eyes was obvious, and not one of them hid it.From the rose beds nearby, Athena stood trimming the flowers with careful precision, her hands moving mechanically. Her eyes, however were
Prince Lucian stood at the center, towering and tense, his hands wrapped tightly around Athena’s waist. She struggled to get out of his grip, but it remained ironclad. Luca, Yde and Samuel stood watchful their expressions unreadable.“Let me go.” Athena snapped her voice low and angry.Lucian didn’t budge.She drew in a sharp breath and said calmly “ Why are you here, your highness? And why are you holding me like this, in my cottage?”Lucian’s jaw clenched. Without looking away from her, he gave a curt nod to his men. “Give us a moment.”Luca frowned hesitation swirling in his eyes“ Be quick. It’s late and if the King gets word of—““I know.” Lucian cut him off.The three warriors exited, the door creaking close behind them. Silence fell, broken by the soft hiss of the lamp and the sound of Athena’s sharp breaths.As soon as they were alone, Lucian stepped closer. Athena’s eyes widened and she turned her face instinctively as he leaned in. His lips brushed against her cheeks instea
“Are you hurt?” Lucian murmured his voice barely audible. His fingers gently brushed a strand of her hair from her cheek, his concern real. Too real.Athena blinked, startled by the softness of his tone. Before she could answer, another voice crackled through the silence like lightening.“Your touching her?”Helena.“She is a servant.” Helena hissed “An omega. An she was touching what was mine.”Lucian stood slowly, one hand still on Athena’s shoulder.“You pushed her.” She said voice low but simmering.“She touched you Lucian!” Helena snapped “what exactly was I supposed to do? Stand back and watch her paw at you like she had a right?”Then, he straightened and turned towards Helena.In two strides, he crossed the room and pulled Helena into a tight embrace. His strong arms wrapped around her with the practiced ease of a man performing a role.“You shouldn’t waste your energy on an omega.” He said gently, his chin resting against her hair. “Let alone lay your hands on anyone it’s ben
The clang of copper pots and the hiss of boiling water filled the palace kitchens long before dawn cracked the sky open. Smoke curled from the brick ovens, mixing with the glaze of honey glazed pheasants and the earthy aroma of roasted root vegetables.Athena stood at the far counter, sleeves rolled past her elbows, flour dusting her arms like snowflake. Her hands moved with practiced ease, kneading dough, chopping herbs, arranging golden pastries on ivory platters. “They say she’s even more beautiful now.”One maid whispered, cheeks flushed with excitement. “ Lady Helena. The chosen mate? Back from Russia, touched by the moon priest themselves.”Athena didn’t flinch, but her jaw tightened.“She’ll become queen soon.” Another maid chimed in wide eyed. “Even prince Lucian had dated her when they were in Russia, they were not only best friends but lovers as well.”In the corner, near the basket of wild roses meant for the banquet tables, Athena stood frozen, clutching a silver tray
