Axels POV   Ten minutes had gone by, yet Athena hadn’t returned. Fear and worry swirled inside me; my thoughts went straight to Vanessa as she was also conveniently missing. Looking over to Hector I could see worry and pain written on his face telling me something was definitely wrong. Standing up I asked Hector to join me for a private word, I needed to know what was going on.   “Where’s Athena, I haven’t seen her in a while?” I knew something was wrong but needed it confirmed and Hector was the only one able to do that.   “I don’t know but something isn’t right. I can’t… I can’t feel her. I can’t feel the bond. I know she’s alive otherwise I would have felt her tether snap. She wouldn’t just block herself like this not after everything she’s been through” seeing him worried like this had my stomach doing back flips. All I wanted to do was comfort him, to show him he wasn’t in this alone, but I couldn’t. There was

Hectors POV I had spent over an hour searching for Athena with no luck, even through the bond I felt nothing. It was if a barrier was preventing us from connecting with one another. When Axel disappeared, I knew something was seriously wrong, he wouldn’t have not come back knowing our mate was missing. I had this disturbing feeling in the pit of my stomach that told me either Vanessa or Axels mother were involved. If that was the case Athena was in serious trouble and needed to be found asap. Athena had grown in strength since her wolf came that much was obvious by the way she carried herself alone, her entire aura had changed it was stronger more confident. Even if she hadn’t noticed,

Axels POV My skin blistered and burned as Alpha Jake continued his interrogation, I knew why he was doing it for I would have done the same. After what Athena had been subjected to, he needed to be sure that I wasn’t just another bully in her life. Had I a daughter I’d be just as ruthless if not worse. Alpha Jake could torture me to his heart’s content for my answers wouldn’t change. I loved Athena and I knew with all my being she felt the same. If I could have turned back time I wouldn’t have even breathed in Vanessa’s direction, but since I did more than breathe her way Athena was right to reject me. I know I hurt her, and I will forever hate myself for do

Axels POV “Stop Axel please… I’m pregnant” the words I had one day hoped to hear but not from her. I pulled my fingers from her before looking up to see tears falling down her face. “You would use a line like that to get out of what you’ve done. If that’s what you think then your more stupid than I thought” I didn’t believe her, everything that had ever come out of her mouth had been filthy deceitful lies. Picking up the whip I slammed it back in

Athena’s POV Spinning me around Axel held my hands behind me allowing Hectors hands to roam my body as I squirmed under his touch. The sparks of our bond dancing along my skin making me become more aroused by the second. Pushing us further against the wall Hector dropped to his knees his hands sliding up my legs, finding the band of my knickers he pulled them down. He began planting kisses to the inside of my thigh placing them higher and higher until he reached his prize. Lifting one leg over his shoulder his tongue delved between my slick folds teasing my bud with every movement it made. Unfathomable moans left my mouth as I climbed nearer the edge, the pleasure building from within. Axel dropped one of my arms bringing his now free arm to my clit and rubbing gently as Hector devoured me. Hector removed his tongue forcing two fingers inside me pumping them quickly. My legs began to wobble as my orgasm ran through me my juices spilling onto my legs. Hector removed
