AthenaI woke up in bed, alone in the room. Or so, that's what I'd thought until my eyes drifted to spot Sebastian sitting casually on the black couch set in the corner.Dread crawled up my insides just from the sight of him.It was indeed the morning, yet everything in his room made it seem still darker. The curtains were fully closed, the high walls with the deepest shade of black painting them and the minimal amount of lightning that was currently the only source of light, made it seem like there was a different sort of darkness that was draped over this room.Indeed it was expected, it was Sebastian's room— The Alpha who was considered the ruler of darkness with venomous nature and all of his barbaric deeds."So you are finally, awake," He spoke, letting the coffee mug set on the side table and stood up.I clutched the blanket tighter to me in reflex as he slowly walked closer to me.I found myself pressing my back further into the headboard of the bed, the memories of last night

AthenaI couldn't breathe, speak or blink. I was horrified; There were so many emotions rushing inside of me at this moment. My entire existence was in denial right now. What I heard pained me beyond extreme, it was so severe that my body was trying to find relief by trying to deny the truth."No...no...no, you must be lying," I found myself vigorously shaking my head, despite knowing that there was not even a drop of a lie in everything she said, "It's not his story, it can't be his story."Julia must have seen the fear of acceptance that draped over my eyes because she did not try to convince me to believe her, she just kept speaking."His father killed his mother right in front of his eyes. He saw his mother's throat being slit by his father, I and many maids were there too but we all were forced to witness it just like the Nine years old Sebastian. Poor Carolina begged her mate, she knew there was none for her child except for her, her eyes constantly took glances at the tear-sta

AthenaHe looked so unaffected and casual as if it wasn't just a murder he committed. He normally lit up a cigarette, the smoke that came off of it reflecting against his dark sunglass as he raised it to his mouth.There was no rage I could notice, there was no hurry, it was just an utterly calm demeanour of Sebastian that I had got to see a few times but that too was not this intense.The situation to me was confusing at first glance, and it was true that it scared me to see Sebastian killing another person right in front of my eyes with no emotion whatsoever. But when my eyes moved to take a look at the rest three men being held down to the ground by the guards, I became aware of what might be going on.But I still have no idea about who these people were and why they were brought here; Each of them was heavily injured as if they have badly beaten before they were put in this place and Sebastian's bloody knuckles told the story— He was the one who have beaten them."Are these the sa

AthenaWhen I got back into the room, bracing myself for the worst it turned out that the worst I have been expecting was yet to happen. The sound of the shower running coming from the bathroom told me that Sebastian was inside.As my stare fell on the bed, I noticed that the bed sheets have been changed. Perhaps when I was out, he called a maid and made her do it. At least this was considerate of him to do so but I doubted that he did that for me, he might have his own reasons.I was aware that Sebastian does not want to make anything easy for me.Sighing, I walked and took a seat on the couch, looking outside at the sky as the white clouds scatter everywhere within the blue.I was not going to succeed in bringing Sebastian back if I turn to be unable to push away my fears. I needed to look past every cruel thing he did, and that was the hardest part.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart down when suddenly the sound shower stopped and the bathroom d

AthenaWhen I woke up I found myself on the bed alone. The rays from the sun were responsible for waking me up.Yawning I rubbed my eyes to wipe away the drowsiness and got down from the bed. My mood was not as heavy as all the other times because last night had not been tough for me, everything that'd happened was within a limit and that is why I have not woken up with a huge weight over my chest and terrible memories.The only unpleasant thing was the dream about my parents. It was basically a flashback of what they'd done to me and sold me to those auctioneers just because I did not have a wolf. But on the brighter side, I actually got to feel my wolf nowadays, and it'd only happen when Sebastian would be around me, his presence triggers my wolf's emotions. However, I was still not sure how I got out of that dreadful dream, but I sure felt a soft caress in my sleep; The warmth of someone that helped bring peace to my soul.Shrugging my thoughts away, I freshened up and took a qui
