LOGIN~Akia~
Apollo and I sat in silence for the longest, the revelation settling into our bones. I had no idea what to say to him, and I’m sure that he felt the same way. Eventually, he was called to handle some pack issues, and I was left on my own.
I roll over in the bed, trying to figure out what my life has become. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of things have gotten better in my life. I found people who love me, who
~Apollo~I pace back and forth in the office, waiting for Atlas. Akia and I didn’t speak after that revelation. There really wasn’t anything to say. I have to see what information he was able to get from Father.I look at the door and start another loop around the small coffee table. I’m slowly losing my mind waiting for Atlas. I’m not sure how much more patience I have in my body.The door opens, causing me to whirl around and see who’s walking in. Atlas has a lighter aura around him, which is out of place considering what’s going on right now. I stop moving and stare at Atlas. “What’s up, ’Lo?” I take a step forward, searching his entire being with my eyes. Deep down, I hope that whatever has changed jumps out at me.“You’re different.” I watch Atlas’s face move in different way
I should have known better. I should have learned the truth, and I should have done better. I should have made sure she was protected, even before I knew she was mine. It may sound crazy, but there’s a lot on an Alpha’s shoulders.I push all of those thoughts away and focus on the present, focus on this woman in front of me. I know what I said, and a part of me feels like I shouldn’t have said it. I had to say it, though. I had to let her know how I feel. I know that this could push her away, but I can’t help it; I can’t keep silent. “I’ve wanted to mark you since I met you. I know you wanted all of us to mark you together, but I really don’t want to wait.” I search Akia’s face, looking for any sign of any emotion. I know what she’s going to say, and it will break me, but I will respect her decision to wait.“Yes…” My heart stops,
~Akia~Apollo and I sat in silence for the longest, the revelation settling into our bones. I had no idea what to say to him, and I’m sure that he felt the same way. Eventually, he was called to handle some pack issues, and I was left on my own.I roll over in the bed, trying to figure out what my life has become. Don’t get me wrong, a lot of things have gotten better in my life. I found people who love me, who my stalker hasn’t been able to scare off. I’m happy, and my heart feels full. I’ve lost my virginity and then some.I’ve had all these good things, yet everything isn’t all it should be. I have a mate who is dangerous. He’s trying to isolate me and keep me for himself. I still have no idea what his real intention toward me is or why. It isn’t just me who has to worry about Ares, but also those who are close to me. I can’t
“Are you going to look at me? Are you going to show your Alpha that respect?” He scoffs loudly and lets out a hollow chuckle.“Respect?! You want to ask me about respect? You and your brother have put your Father, your former Alpha, in the cells, and you want to talk about respect. That’s rich coming out of your mouth. Or how about the hunting of your brother, Ares? Where’s the respect for him?” Father is so good at this. He’s good at twisting the issue and making you second-guess yourself.Right now, I’m itching to let him out, feeling that I made a huge mistake. The only thing is that I know I did what was right, and if I went against that, Apollo would have my ass. This is how Father got us to let go of our arguments regarding Mom’s disappearance. He would flip the script and change the conversation. He would talk about what kind of selfishness it took to ru
~Atlas~I left the room, but didn’t go directly to the cells. I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that we have our father in there. I agreed with the placement, and I know it was needed, but still. He’s our father, and this is just beyond weird.I took a walk outside. I stayed right in front of the treeline. I just kept thinking about everything, past and present. It seems that my life wasn’t what I thought it was. The people in my life weren’t who I thought they were. Everything is a big mess.I was close to our mom, I really was. It was Mom who helped me with my emotions. She always made it clear that emotions are nothing to be afraid of. She would always tell me that I didn’t always have to be the strong one. She said that it was okay to break down sometimes. I didn’t do it all the time, but with her, I could let myself go.There were times when the pressure from Father got to be too much. I would run to mom, and she would comfort me in that way only mothers can. She would r
~Apollo~I stir and look to my right. Akia is next to me with Atlas next to her. Her lashes are on her cheeks, and her breathing is even. I shift as softly as I can, so I don’t wake her. I turn to my side and place my hand under my cheek. I look at her as she sleeps, and my heart clenches.Akia is a beautiful woman, and I don’t think I’m only saying that because she’s my fated mate. I’d imagine that if I had seen her with no mate bond, I’d have the same opinion. Maybe I’m delusional, but that’s what I choose to hold on to.The bed shifts, and Atlas’s eyes land on mine. He looks down at Akia before looking back at me. She’s beautiful, ’Lo. I was just thinking that. She’s the most beautiful woman in the world. She stuck by us. She helped us through this. I know, Atlas. The Goddess has blessed us. Atlas closes his eyes and nods. He lets a breath out, and I keep my eyes on Akia.We have to talk to him. We do, but I don’t think he will tell us anything. Maybe not, but we have to try.
I’ve had broken arms and legs, which healed like a human’s because I didn’t have my wolf yet. One time, I swore that Ares had his wolf. As improbable as that seems, I still believe it to be true.We were around 10 years old, and Ares was at it again. I won’t go into the details, but I was hanging o
~Adolf~A jolt rolls through me, causing me to jump up. I look around, but there’s nothing but darkness. This time, the darkness is different; it’s familiar. Ares? My voice is soft and raspy. I don’t like that at all. I clear my throat and try again. Ares. Adolf?! What the fuck man?! Where the hel
~Akia~I didn’t know what to do with myself after Atlas asked me out. I’ve never really been asked out that much in my life, except for Matt and Scott. This is different because I know, or at least I hope, he won’t disappear after that. I could feel how nervous he was, and it was so cute. The only
~Selene~I close my eyes tighter and continue my chant. There are many deities who believe that humans are useless creatures, but I don’t share that sentiment. They bring some interesting aspects to life, and I’ve been guilty of indulging once or twice.Meditation was something that drew me in the
