Athena’s POV They couldn’t possibly be serious. She was weak and locked up how the in the goddess’s name was she going to hurt me? I know it sounds silly but when I mated with Axel, I felt bad more than that really, I felt guilty. Yes, I know how crazy that sounds considering she didn’t seem to regret anything she had done to me. She was pregnant and suffering all the while we were having the time of our lives, exploring each other’s bodies, learning what we each did and didn’t like. Though my guilt wasn’t the only reason I wanted to see her. I needed answers. I wanted to know why she hated me, why she plotted to take my mate from me and why she went as far as to harm me. Siblings fight and argue growing up sure, I mean that’s normal, but Vanessa and I should have been closer than any other siblings. We were twins for crying out loud. We shared a bond, one formed while in our mum’s womb. I hurt she would know and the other way round. Each time she hurt herself I would feel t

Athena’s POV  Once Vanessa had been secured Axel grabbed a hold of my hand and without so much as a second glance, he led me from out and away from the room leaving Vanessa sobbing so Beta Benson could lock it back up. I had tried several times to ask where we were going and if he was ok, but he remained silent. Through the bond I knew his emotions were all over the place. He worried the pup wasn’t his, he worried the pup was his and that she might miscarry from the decision he had just made. However, the one emotion that had me nervous was the feelings he held for Vanessa, they were growing, and I could feel him try to force them away. Unfortunately, it was a side effect to the mate bond, a feeling that would soon overwhelm him, a feeling we couldn’t let win. Axel bought me back to my room pushing the do

Athena’s POV “But if we don’t remove it, he’s going to die. He can’t die, he just can’t” my words came out as nothing more than pathetic girlie sobs. It was impossible to remain strong when one of my mates was lying in front of me like this. His skin was clammy and greying his lips turning blue the longer it stayed in place, I didn’t want to think it, but it was more than obvious he was knocking at deaths door. “Young lady I don’t know who you are, but you will not tell me what to do in my hospital” the way he spoke to me startled me, how did he not know who I was? Surely he could smell my scent, it was that of his future alpha after all. I opened my mouth to protest when Axel stepped forward blocking me from this rude man’s view. He was much taller than the doctor and bigger built. If I were him, I’d feel rather intimidated right about now. “You will not speak to my mate that way. Now fix him” Axel’s voice remained strong as he used his alpha voice over the doctor w

Hector’s POV Pain radiates throughout my body, my skin hot as sweat dripped off me I could feel a cold liquid being pumped into me as it burned my insides. My eyes felt heavy as I forced them to open. The room was dark except for the lamp that sat to the left of my bed along with a jug of water and a glass. I went to sit up but found myself unable, the pain was too much so I laid back down with a grunt. A long line of stitches went vertically down my chest, I was only stabbed so now I was curious as to the size of the incision. Taking a look around I was in a hospital but a fancy one at that, I was in a private room that much was clear. It wasn’t your usual sterile boring white walls bu

Athena’s POV My heart broke for Axel, his father had made the heart wrenching decision to end his own life in the hopes of taking his mate with him forcing the bond she created between their son and Vanessa to break; only he failed. Once marked the high priestess should have felt pain so excruciating as the bond between herself and her mate snapped that it should have killed her, but she hadn’t even flinched. She didn’t love her mate if she had she would have at least shed a tear but nothing. No emotion towards her husband nor to her son as he cradled his father’s motionless body. She didn’t remotely try to comfort him, no instead she smirked. She smirked as if what she had just witness
