Before my parents died in an accident the last thing my mom told me was that I was born for greatness. I am not sure what greatness they were talking about, all I know is that when it comes to making coffee, I sure am the best at it.  “Athena,” my manager called me, motioning me to follow him to his office at the back of the store.  “Yes sir,” I said once I was in his office. “The owner of our shop will be using the place later,” he said as he scanned the papers in front of him. “Make sure the last order will be taken at 1 PM and the shop is closed at 2 PM.” “Got it, sir,” I nodded. “Please stay until he comes to ensure that everything he needs is taken care of,” he added. “I will make sure that you are paid th

The moment they are in the cafe I immediately regretted my idea of having Athena in the same vicinity as them. I don’t trust Archer, but Leon said that it is best to have peace with every pack.  Archer eyed Athena and smiled mischievously. “Now who do we have here?” he asked with a snicker. I could sense Athena’s anxiety, I placed my hand on her knee which seemed to calm her down.  “My girlfriend,” I said. “Athena, I want you to meet Archer, a business partner.”    “Athena,” She said as she offered her hand.  Archer looked at her hand and laughed. I tried to keep my cool as Athena withdrew her hand in em

She saved me. I wanted to hold her more. I wanted to feel her heart beating. But I know that to save her I have to let her go, for now. I am so angry at myself, so angry at how useless I am. Parker was also in surgery for all the beatings he took from Archer’s men. “Drake,” Leon said as he shook me, taking me away from my thoughts. “What?’ I retorted. “Sorry,” I said apologetically. I know that none of this was his fault. It was mine. I wipe my face with my hand in frustration. “I’m sorry,” Leon said softly. I was glad that they arrived the moment that they did. Because if they didn’t, I don’t know what would have become of us. Unfortunately, Archer and some of his men had escaped. But that's the least of my worries for now. I am worried for the person who saved my life even when she had the chance to save her own. I turned and looked at him. “It’s not your fault,” I said. “It was mine, for being useless,” I added. “You know that’s not true,” He said. I wanted to beli

I was just in the bathroom for a few minutes when I heard loud shouts and glasses breaking. When I went out I was surprised to see Athena holding Nori, who by the way was enjoying every bit of it, even with a broken glass pointed at his throat. It surprises me how she got the strength to do all that after all the wounds that her body took. I could’ve healed her if only Levi was here. Nori offered but I don’t want anyone’s wolf touching her. I’m sorry Athena, you could have healed already but I just can’t bear anyone else touching you, especially one of my friends. “She’s feisty,” Nori said with a big smile on his face as he looked at her.  “I like her,” he added. “You like her?” Leon asked in disbelief. “Have you already forgotten that just a few minutes ago, sh

The doctors were surprised at how fast I have healed. I requested to be released from the hospital since I was not seeing any point in staying there. But my manager came and explained that the owner wants me to stay there until the week of rest is up. He said the owner wants to ensure that I get the needed rest and that I am eating right before getting back to work.   The week seems to move so slowly but I did get some time to rest and even went to physical therapy to ensure that my body was working perfectly. Once I was given the “fit to work clearance” I was in a hurry to get back to my dorm. My manager wanted to pick me up but I was already out and had called a taxi.  Once I was at the dorm, I started to clean up my small room. It’s been a while since I was home and my laundry piled up as well as the
