Peter:Mr. Carter? The Andersons? No. No. Tell me this is not what I think it is, Athena.I ignored all of Peter’s messages to me. I declined all his calls and decided to just turn my phone off while going the way of my own misery.It does not help. He definitely wants to stop me. I'm good at this, so he must have an idea of what plan I’m materializing tonight.We stayed in this one room full of bachelors and other ladies as well, but only a few of them.The two Anderson men were crowding over me. As the night deepened, I wasn’t able to count my shots already. My head started to spin as I gulped more liquid that would make me lose my consciousness, or if not my consciousness, then lose myself.Taking those alcoholic beverages was not my own form of having fun. I may look normal on the outside, flirting with both of them, but I don’t think I'm in my right mind still.Around midnight, I already felt my strength leaving me. I could feel their lips on my skin from time to time as they co

I had to get my own attorney for the case. It’s easy, I am in fact innocent because of my statement. Of course, I had to leave some information that would send me to jail.I could file a case against them, and that’s what the attorney suggested to me. Peter was strong in convincing me that I should do it to get the compensation, whereas Erin was convincing me to do it so I could get the justice that I wanted.Exhaustion. That’s what I’m feeling. I have to make a decision that will disappoint everybody. I decided to not file a case against them."What? What do you mean you’re not filing a case? " Peter exclaimed."Peter, don’t get this started." Erin warned him.I’m discharged today. I’m all fine now, though I think I’m not fine on the inside. They couldn’t talk to me for days of my stay here. I only talked to the lawyer, but the rest of the time, I kept my mouth shut."I know you’re feeling guilty, but that’s the least compensation you could get." Peter sounded a bit desperate."It is

In the board game, chess. There are these two valuable pieces. That King and the Queen. These significant pieces are the powerful ones and the center of attention that they always have to protect. The King, as a gentleman, would always give his way to the Queen and let her stand in her own color.But behind it all, there’s this piece that is more valuable. The Rook. The rook contributes a lot when it comes to supporting the advancement of your pawns. And in the end, it does an effective job of cutting the opponent’s king in action.I couldn't look my father in the eyes and say, "I'm sorry."He touched my hand and caressed it. "You don’t have to go this far for me, honey. I am fine here. I’m fine as long as I have your forgiveness. ""You need your treatment, not just provision." I answered.He smiled just like an old man would do. "I’ve lived long. And of all the things I have done in this world, you are the only one that’s left unsettled. Now that I know you’ve understood, I’m ready

--Third Person’s POV--Yes, it was Ulva who was sneakily stalking Athena. Oh, how much she wanted to do something bad to her right away. A petty human like her would not be able to pick a fight with a werewolf like her. But she also knows that she wants to work sneakily, especially since she’s not in her own world.She ran up the stairs, and Athena was coming after her. Once she glanced at her, her blood immediately boiled.Years of looking for Knight, she couldn’t believe that this woman would bring him to her, the woman who’s in a relationship with Knight. She doesn’t know what power he uses just to get away.At first, the only reason why she was coming after her was that she wanted to know where Knight was. Not until a tragedy happens. She saw the two men who got killed. By just looking at it, she knows who killed the two. She has no idea what possibly could have led Knight to do such a thing.Ulva had a hunch already, but still, she couldn’t grasp the idea of it. Knight? The Alpha

I stormed out and didn’t even mind them. I saw Knight looking so stoned because of what he saw. Right? Who would have thought of seeing their ex in his penthouse?My tears clouded my eyes as I rushed to the common lift that the building had. It seems like I’m trying to control my emotions so that my tears won’t fall. I even bumped into someone when I got out of the lift. I rushed to the lobby, straight to the front door, and came down to my car that was parked.I didn’t know where I was going. But I just wanted to escape.The crowded place welcomed me. The place I usually call my workplace seems so foreign to me. Considering the last time I attended a party and a tragedy happened, it is still traumatizing for me.But I had no choice; neither the silence would give me peace. This war that I’m feeling inside me is unbearable. I need a huge distraction.Before I got out of the car, I rummaged through my things and got the medicine prescribed for me. With shaking hands, I took a pill and
