CHAPTER 2

ATHENA’S P.O.V

I kept weeping on the floor, until I felt the person come to a stop beside me. I raised my head to see who it was.

Greta stood in an exaggeratedly stylish manner with smiles on her face, I couldn't understand why, but I felt anger brewing inside of me.

My mind wandered back to the day when Aiden saw me and Sebastian on the bed in his chambers, Greta had a satisfied look in her eyes.

After Aiden had stormed out in anger, I had tried to explain to her, to explain my side of the story. She kept a stoic expression and said nothing but just walked away.

"Why are you here?" I asked, anger lacing my tone.

She scoffed and yanked me up roughly.

"I think you should get a better dress to wear. If I'd be advising, I'd say you wear something more loose." she said sarcastically.

I couldn't help but begin to fume at her attitude. Even when I had wanted to speak with her ever since the incident, she had always avoided me. Maybe I could tell her all that I had been harboring in my heart now.

"Greta, it is said that the most demanding time in a friendship is when a friend needs the complete and utmost trust of the other. The day when the incident happened before everything turned blank, i was with you, I remembered you and i discussing and that is the least i could remember"

"But when Aiden saw me on the bed, you couldn't explain to me how I got there. You didn't even try to convince Aiden that I perhaps could be innocent of what I was accused of. If you had told Aiden we were together then all this wouldn't have happened" I blurted, my voice rising at the last word I uttered.

"Right now Greta, I need your help. I want you to help me convince Aiden and tell him everything that really happened that day. Aiden already rejected me as his mate and he said the only way I can be his mate is if I terminate the baby" I pleaded.

"Greta, I swear on the moon goddess, the baby is I and Aiden. I didn't cheat on him and you know it" I cried.

Greta had a blank expression on her face and just stared back at me, not saying a word for the next few seconds.

Suddenly, she began to laugh. A tear fell from my eye. I was expecting her to at least say something, give me a reason why she wasn't trying to help rectify the situation or give me a solution. She has always provided solutions to me when ever I had troubles and they always seem to work.

She turned towards the door and beckoned on the Pack Guards. Four of them dashed in instantaneously. I wonder what was going on as I stared at Greta and the pack guards in confusion.

"I believe that she," Greta gestured towards me, "Might get a little bit hard to talk to, get her to the pack hospital" she ordered them.

The Pack Guards began to approach me, and I noticed Phoebe was beginning to walk away.

"What's the meaning of this, Greta?” I yelled after her as she left and she stopped in her tracks.

"What does it seem like, Athena?” She asked. She sighed then closed her eyes, after a while she opened it.

"Aiden ordered that your unborn be killed. I don't know how but the news about your cheating scandal and pregnancy has gotten out and for control measure, Aiden ordered for the termination of the baby. I personally offered to take you, so that you wouldn't be attacked or handled roughly by anyone." she said in a tone I couldn’t place a finger on.

The guards were already holding me, and I struggled to wriggle out of their grasp.

"Greta, Greta, please listen to me," I begged. Greta chuckled darkly and turned back to walk away.

"You and I both know that I am innocent and this child is Aiden’s, I've never loved anyone except Aiden, I don't even know how I got into that bed, I can't seem to remember where or how Sebastian came there. Remember when I told you that he once made advances towards me. Did you also remember the day he stopped the both of us in the marketplace and began professing his love to me? You saw it for yourself, Greta, I did reject him. I never did anything with him. This could all be a plot of Sebastian” I rambled, I wanted her to listen to me, she was the only one I know Aiden would listen to right now.

Something seemed to make Greta stop, and I took it as she was beginning to believe me, and she perhaps might want to talk to Aiden on my behalf.

"I have an exciting news to share with you, Athena, Aiden and I have found a way to clear this whole mess you created." she smiled, new hope began to rise in me.

"In order for us to clear your mess, I would be announced as Aiden new Luna in the next four days," she smiled and walked away.

I stared back at her, confused and in shock, oblivious to the fact that I was already been taken away by the guards.

No! They wouldn't do this to me, Aiden wouldn't do this to me.

“Why? How?” I finally muttered, more tears had began to drop. I was met with silence and the cold look from Greta.

"Please Greta, just this last favor, call Aiden, I need to talk to him" I cried but they kept on dragging me away.

She looked away from me and I knew there was nothing she could do to help me.

My eyes had gotten tired of brewing tears, and I silently went with them.

*******

I was forcefully pinned down to the bed, my hands tied to the metal railings on the bed.

"Please stop, I don't want to go through this, please" I cried but it all fell on deaf ears as they simply ignored me and continued buckling the leather belts against the metal railings.

Greta walked in at that moment, watching as I was being tied down to the hospital bed.

"Are the binds tight?" She asked.

"Yes, it is" they replied.

When she Confirmed from the guards that I was well bounded to the hospital bed, she gestured for them to leave.

A new wave of tears began to form in my eyes. Greta walked up to the bed, gazing down at me with an expression I never believed she had. Just like she'd done in the pack house, she didn't say a word.

"I am so sorry you had to go through this" she said in a tone that was nowhere as close as sympathetic then she turned and began walking away.

"Greta”, I called out to her weakly. My voice was sore and my eyes were puffed.

She turned her neck to stare at me, her expression questioning.

"Please…"

I didn't get to finish my statement before she walked out of the room. Seconds later, some nurses came rushing into the room, setting up certain blades and other sort of utensils to carry out their operation.

"No, no, please," I cried as I watched one of the nurses approach me.

"Do not kill my baby please I beg you"

My protests were drowned when I was gagged and pinned down by the nurses. I muffled a quadrillion of 'Please's' through the stuffed cloth in my mouth when I saw one of the nurses raise a syringe before I lost consciousness.
