"Doctor! Doctor! Where the fuck is everyone?!" Dominic's loud voice boomed in the hospital, shaking the building.    But nothing could express what he was feeling. He was feeling as if he would die at any moment. The breath would leave his body any moment and at the same time someone was clenching his heart by taking it in hands. He was in pain. Too much pain.    But he wasn't feeling this pain because of the mate bond or anything because that bond was gone. It was gone in a way where he couldn't feel it even a little bit.    The pain he was feeling was coming from inside. He couldn't bear to look at Athena, fighting for her life. It was all his fault. He won't be able to forgive himself if something happens to her.    Heck, he would die! What's happening to him?!   "Oh my god, alpha. She is in a very bad state. It's going to be hard saving her." The doctor sa

"What is it, Stacey? I don't have time for this." Dominic asked in a blank tone as soon as they were inside his office room, in the pack house. He didn't look at her. He just wanted to get over this as soon as possible. "How? How could you do this to me? I didn't expect this from you." Stacey exclaimed while crying as she walked toward her and stood in front of him, forcing him to look at her. "What are you talking about, Stacey?" He stepped away from her while still not looking at her and it frustrated her beyond limit. She went near him once and clutched his collar and made him look at him. He didn't like that at all but didn't say anything at that moment. "You really don't know what I am talking about? Seriously? Now this is how we are going to do this?" She shouted while shaking him by the collar. He gritted his teeth and tried to act calmly and patiently while dealing with this matter. "Stacey, I don't know what you are talking about..." He had just started to talk when she

THE NEXT MORNING Athena woke up with the sound of a bird chirping and the bright sunlight coming from the open window made her go blind. Who opened the window? She remembers it being closed last night. She slowly sat up by leaning against the headboard. Was it Dominic? She looked around to find the sight of him and found the room empty. She frowned a little seeing that. As far as she remembers, he was here till the end of the night. She woke up once again at night and found him sleeping beside her. He was sitting down but his head was kneeled down beside him, on the bed. She was lost at that moment, just like she is lost now. She didn't know what to feel at that moment. She didn't know what to feel toward the situation, toward everyone and toward... Dominic. She was in confusion and in defence. The defence was to save herself from feeling something stupid. Because Dominic's change of behaviour was making her feel weird again. She knew she shouldn't be feeling nice by what

Athena was bored sitting on the bed all day. Everyone left Dominic's mansion long ago, including Dominic himself. Now she was alone in the house. Even Ace left with Justin and Patricia. They took her to the park to play with other kids. And Suzanne… only she knew how she convinced her best friend to not ask any questions regarding anything. She had to promise Suzanne to tell her everything until the right time comes. Though she didn't know when the right time might come, that time wasn't it for sure. The answer of Suzanne's question was going to mess things up more than it already was. She couldn't afford that until she got a hold of the situation again and got everything under control. Until then she has to be really careful.She let out a sigh and walked down the bed. She recovered really fast this time even though she doesn't have her wolf with her. She knew it was the mate bond which was helping her recover so fast.The mate bond….

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Dominic asked in a soft yet husky tone as he found her sitting and looking at his red rose garden in total astonishment. His soft tone was sounding very foreign to his own ears but he didn't put much thought into it."Very." She replied while caressing the roses softly without removing her eyes from the beautiful roses. Her tone and posture was calm, so different from what it was a few minutes ago. As if the red roses did its magic on her as well and calmed her down like it works on Dominic. "Why is this part of the garden forbidden?" She suddenly asked, breaking the silence. She didn't look up yet but his next set of words forced her to look up at him with widened eyes."Because of you." He answered while looking at her intensely as if waiting for her to look up and meet his eyes."Because of me? How?" She asked in utter confusion as she looked back at the roses for a second before looking back at him. He didn't show any expression on his face as he slowly sat d
