Athena

What kind of cruel joke was fate playing on me? Azrael was the same man from two years ago. The same stranger from that hotel room, the man who had marked me.

How had I never noticed it before? We had been intimate twice, yet I had never seen the tattoo to recognize it. Or was my mind making connections that weren't really there? Maybe it wasn't unique at all. Maybe it was just an ordinary bird tattoo, something anyone could have.

But deep down, I knew that wasn't true. I had seen that

    Athena"What are you talking about?" I asked, my voice trembling.Luna Elsa looked at me, her eyes already glistening with tears."Years before you were born, your father came to my husband for help," she said softly. "He told him that people were trying to infiltrate your clan."I frowned, unable to say a word."Your clan was unlike any other. It was blessed with powerful witches, gifted seers, talented healers, and rich mineral resources that couldn't be found anywhere else. Everyone wanted a piece of it. Powerful Alphas wanted control over those resources, and even the human government wanted access to them."She paused before continuing. "They pressured your father to open the clan to them, but he refused. He knew what those resources could become if they fell into the wrong hands. They would be used to create dangerous weapons, and it would have thrown both the human and werewolf worlds into chaos."I stared at her, struggling to process every word."Your father trusted only one

    AthenaI focused all my strength on trying to move my finger. I kept telling myself that if I could move even a little, it would mean I wasn't completely trapped in this body. But no matter how hard I tried, nothing happened. My finger refused to respond, and the effort only left me more exhausted than before.A frustrated sigh escaped my lips. I was tired of lying in the same position every single day. Tired of staring at the same ceiling. Tired of depending on other people for everything. This wasn't the life I had imagined for myself. It couldn't be, I refused to believe that this was all that was left for me.What made it worse was knowing that the only hope everyone kept throwing in my face was Azrael.If I let him mark me just so I could walk again, there would be no going back. The mating bond wasn't something that could simply be undone because I regretted it later. Even if I killed him someday, the bond would still leave its mark on me.Evelyn had once told me that bonds with

    AzraelIt had been several days since Athena woke from her coma, yet she barely spoke to me. Ever since she blamed me for the deaths of her parents, she had built a wall between us that I couldn't break through. Every time I tried to start a conversation, she acted as though I wasn't even in the room.It hurt more than I cared to admit. My mother had told me to give her time, to stop pushing her and let her focus on recovering. She believed Athena needed space to process everything she had learned.I understood that but understanding it didn't make it any easier. My mate was only a few feet away from me every day, yet whenever she looked at me, all I saw in her eyes was anger, resentment, and disgust.She didn't smile anymore, she didn't ask me for anything. She had even requested that I stop taking care of her and assign one of the maids to help with her daily needs instead. She didn't want me feeding her, helping her change, or assisting with anything else.I refused not because I w

    AthenaWhat kind of cruel joke was fate playing on me? Azrael was the same man from two years ago. The same stranger from that hotel room, the man who had marked me.How had I never noticed it before? We had been intimate twice, yet I had never seen the tattoo to recognize it. Or was my mind making connections that weren't really there? Maybe it wasn't unique at all. Maybe it was just an ordinary bird tattoo, something anyone could have.But deep down, I knew that wasn't true. I had seen that bird before. Not just as a tattoo, but somewhere else. It was an emblem, a symbol I had come across before. I just couldn't remember where or when.The harder I tried to remember, the more my head throbbed. I slowly closed my eyes, trying to quiet the storm of thoughts racing through my mind.Could Azrael really be my true mate? The question refused to leave me alone.A few moments later, Varek finished his usual examination. After checking my pulse, my breathing, and the rest of my vitals, he f

    AthenaAzrael rushed into the room, he looked excited to see me, but I looked back at him with a cold expression. My head throbbed lightly, and everything around me still felt hazy. I blinked a few times, trying to clear my vision as the steady sound of machines filled the room. The oxygen mask over my face made every breath feel cold, but at least I could breathe.Why was he acting like he was happy I was alive? Or was he happy because he finally had another chance to find the scroll? Well, it was a good thing I had no idea where it was."I am so glad you are alive, Athena." He said in a shaky voice, like he was about to break down.What happened to him? I wondered. He looked like someone who hadn't taken care of himself in months. Dark circles surrounded his eyes, and his beard had grown out, I shook my head. That was none of my business.Just then the door opened, and Varek rushed in. "This is good news and so incredible, Sire." He said happily as he hurried toward me.It will be

    Azrael“We should never have used the scroll as bait.” Gabriel sighed, sounding frustrated for what felt like the hundredth time today. “Now we may never get it back. What if they really find the lost clan? They will become even more powerful, take control of the world, and throw everything into chaos.”It had been a month since the guard escaped with the scroll, and we still hadn't found a single lead. Every trail we followed ended the same way, as if someone powerful was covering his tracks and making sure we never got close. Gabriel had been worrying about the same thing every day. He believed that if the lost clan was found, they would rise again, seize control, and plunge the world into chaos.What he didn't know was that the scroll itself was no longer important.Everything that truly mattered had already been transferred onto my back. The parchment they had stolen was nothing more than an empty shell now. Even if they spent years studying it, they would never find anything usef

    AzrealI leaned in, pressing my lips against her neck as I pulled her closer, holding her firmly against my body. Then a sudden knock on the door broke the moment. We pulled apart instantly.I let out a frustrated groan, running a hand through my hair as I took a step back. Why was it so hard to g

    Athena“Why are you out here in the middle of the night?” Talia whispered.“Shit!” I said, placing a hand on my chest as I tried to steady my breathing when I realized it was her. “You scared me.” I added under my breath. “I wasn’t feeling sleepy, so I came outside.”She didn’t respond immediately.

    Athena “We need to talk,” Zoey said quietly as she walked up to me. I was busy cleaning the pack’s dining hall. The table stretched across the room, long enough to seat over fifty people, yet it was rarely used. Most of the time, it stayed empty because even the Alpha preferred eating in his own

    Athena“Come in.” The voice came from inside before I even had the chance to knock.I pushed the door open slowly and stepped into the Gamma’s office, the room was quiet. My eyes moved around, searching, but there was no one in sight.For a moment, I hesitated just inside the doorway. Someone had
