Dominic was looking at Athena's sleeping face with a blank look on his face. His eyes weren't blinking even for a second as he drank in her beauty and got lost in her flawless face. She looked like a baby as she slept. She was tired and getting exhausted pretty easily because of the loss of connection with her wolf. Also the thing that happened with Stacey and all exhausted her a lot. She dozed off out of nowhere in the garden as they sat there in silence without talking and enjoying the moment. After she fell asleep, her head fell on his shoulder. That made him feel like the most right thing in the world. He sat there for a long time in that position until he realised that it might be uncomfortable for her. Then he picked her up bridal style and walked back to their-...his bedroom and placed her back on the bed. But he still couldn't leave the room or her. More like he didn't want to leave, hence he didn't leave. Because just when he was going to leave, he felt someone pulling him

"Hey, Athena! I am surprised to find you here!" Patricia exclaimed as soon as she saw Athena walking inside the pack house awkwardly while looking around subconsciously."H...hey, Patricia..." Athena greeted her softly, trying not to gain as much attention. But her plan ruined as soon as Patricia called her loudly from the big group she was sitting with.Patricia was sitting with a group of female pack members. They were generally chatting while playing cards. They were in a good mood as they all laughed around to something someone said when Athena came inside. There were six women in total, including Patricia and it seems like Patricia being the third in command, arranged a refreshing free time for those pack members."Athena? Why are you standing there? Come here! Join us. Come!" Patricia exclaimed while urging her to come and join them. The table went silent as soon as everyone noticed her and she felt more uncomfortable because of that. Everyone in that area was looking at her wit

Patricia successfully managed to get everyone guarding the basement out, using her lady in their in commands. Athena didn't have much time in hand. She quickly walked inside the dark and dangerous basement while making as little noise as she could. She wasn't much worried about getting caught because Patricia stood outside, guarding for her while she got her job done. She increased her pace while ignoring the foul stench of dried up blood and other foul smells. She ignored the howls of pain as the prisoners cried in the effect of the previous punishment session. She tried her best to not think about why they are being punished in the first place. She raised her nose up in the air and tried to locate his foul scent in the foul environment. It wasn't that hard for her to do that because she found it immediately. Because to her, his scent was the foulest. With a blank and down look on her face, she walked toward the end of the basement hallway. She reached the door soon and stood

"A...are you o... okay, Dominic?" Athena asked in a nervous tone as she looked at his uneven expression. She knew his wolf was trying to gain control and if it manages to do so, she won't be able to handle him without her wolf. But she wasn't nervous because of that. It was because the look HE was giving her. It was full of desire and never ending possessiveness. There was a madness in his eyes at that moment to possess her completely, in every way possible. And that's what made her nervous. His intensity and intention, both made her breathless. She knew what's coming but she didn't know what was going to be her reaction toward it."D... Dominic?" She asked while taking a small step toward him and it took two long steps to reach her. Before she could understand anything, she found herself pinned against the nearby wall with her hands pinned beside her head in his strong hold. She looked at him with widened eyes while he looked at her in daze. H

"Athena, are you okay?" Suzanne asked a stiff Athena who was sitting inside the conference room with a worried look on her face while looking around with uncertainty. She didn't like the situation she was in at that moment. She was feeling eerie and nervous and furious at the same time. "I don't understand, Suzy! Why wasn't I aware of it earlier?! Why am I put into this suddenly? It's just like a bomb dropped on me! I hate this and I want to get the heck out of here." She snapped in irritation and anxiousness. She was currently at the conference room waiting for a stupid meeting with the counselors to start. It dropped on her suddenly. One moment she was laying on the bed and crying like a miserable woman and the next moment she was pulled up from the bed by him when there was a knock on the door. It was Justin who came there to let him know about the counsellors who were on their way already for the meeting. She looked at him in shock but bef
