"How did you become the alpha leader of the north region if it wasn't passed down to you from your father?" Athena asked with a confused frown. "Oh, we don't become the alpha leader by inheritance or by defeating the alphas in the region." Dominic answered with a small shrug, making her confused. "Then how do you become the leader?" Athena asked with a frown as everything started to get messed up in her head again. She thought one has to fight for the position. "Of course, we are chosen by the moon goddess, Athena. Didn't you know that?" Dominic asked, he was very confused that she didn't know such an obvious fact. "No, genius. I didn't know that. Because I didn't go to any high school, does that ring a bell?" She said in a sarcastic tone while rolling her eyes at him, making him look at him sheepishly. Then he nodded at her in an understanding way. "Yes, Athena. I am sorry I forgot it. But yeah, the moon goddess chooses the leader. Because the strongest one can be evil as well."

"Wh...what did you call me?" Dominic asked in a shook tone while kneeling down in front of Ace. Even though Dominic tried to pick him up but as if all the strength from him was taken away the moment Ace called him 'papa'. So, when he couldn't feel his hands anymore, he dropped to his knees with slouched shoulders. His eyes were teary and his hands were shaking badly as he raised his face, trying to touch Ace's face. But he was afraid that Ace might disappear if he touched him."Papa… I missed you…" Ace cried out before opening his arm widely and jumped on Dominic. Dominic quickly caught him, hugged him back, coming out of the shock.. Ace started crying louder than before after getting into the embrace of his father. "Oh my! I missed you too, my baby. My champion. I love you so much. Call me 'papa' again." Dominic couldn't stop his cries anymore as he sobbed out loud while holding his son tightly in his embrace. He couldn't explain how sensitive the situation was for him. He felt tru

"Dominic, can you please come with us?" Nathan asked with a little bit of urgency in his tone which made Athena frown. Athena who was putting a morsel in Ace's mouth stopped doing what she was doing and looked at Nathan with a frown. She didn't like the tone of Nathan. It was filled with a tense feeling. He seemed worried about something and that immediately made her worry more. It was the first normal day and dinner of their lives. All three of them cooked dinner together for the first time like a real family. But now it was ruined because of something that happened. It seemed like the whole world was against her happiness. Anyone could understand her frustration and Dominic could feel her frustration through the mate bond.She was hella pissed. "What is it, Nathan? Did something happen?" Athena asked in a cold and intimidating tone while looking at him with squinted eyes. She was literally glaring at his soul. That was so intimidating that Nathan looked away from her immediately

The night after tomorrow night is the night. The biggest night of their lives. The biggest night of Athena's life. She already marked Dominic to heal him but this time he was going to mark her. They already accepted each other as their mate. After the marking, there isn't any turning back. It's not like they are going to leave each other anyway. They can't live without each other now. Heck, they find it hard even breathing. They are not going to let anyone or anything come between them again. They are going to fight against any attack, any evil, any power together and stay with each other. They were ready for anything. They are not going to let anything ruin the day after the day after tomorrow night. No one is going to let that happen. The pack members were ready as well."What are you thinking of, Athena?" Dominic asked while hugging her from the behind. He had just come out from the washroom after freshening up when he didn't find her in the bedroom. After looking around a little

SOMEWHEREA man in his late forties was sitting inside his bedroom with all the lights completely off. There wasn't any light in the room. It was pitch dark inside the room. His life was filled with darkness which is why he didn't find it necessary to fill the room with light anyway. His heart and mind was filled with darkness as well and he was ready to fill everyone's life with the same darkness as well if it wasn't for his... Mate. "Dante?" Immediately after he thought of his mate, he heard the sweet voice of his mate. He opened his eyes to meet with a bright light which was coming from the balcony door. Her mate opened the door as soon as she came inside the room and filled his room with light just like she had been doing the same with his life. She was the light of his life, if it wasn't for her, he would have destroyed everything. He would have killed everyone in madness. She kept him calm and collected. She was his life but still his life wasn't complete. Because his smile
