Athena"Mam, Alpha has sent these for you to wear tonight." A servant handed me a few bags before she got out of my sight. I curiously opened the bags and the first thing that caught my attention was the wine-red gown. My brows rose in surprise as I looked at the gown. It was stunning— The elegant V neckline, the stones, embroidery, laces and embellishments, complimented the beautiful dress, and the side slit cut skirt made the gown look even prettier. It was hard to take my eyes off the dress yet I managed to get myself to look at the other bags.As I opened the second bag, there was a blue velvety box. I took it in my hand and unlocked it. There was a beautiful ruby necklace and earring set. It could be said without needing to examine twice that this was worth more than a fortune.I moved to the next bag and there was a pair of lace-up ankle strap high heels. It screamed the same luxury as the other accessories.The fact that he spent so much for the sake of one party astonished me

AthenaI felt dizzy. Extremely dizzy and tipsy. However, I could not stop drinking. The more I watched that woman's hands around Sebastian, the more I saw them together, every cell of my body burned with rage.I'd only taken a few gulps from the bottles and it hadn't even been more than ten minutes. However, the effects of alcohol were not only strong but overpowering. I'd never consumed anything alcoholic, but even for a non-alcohol drinker, I could tell that this was not normal. Anyone in their right mind could notice the suspicious quick effects, and I did not fall behind in that category, but Alas! I simply was not in the state to care.The back of my head fucking hurt and my eyes were literally fighting to shut down but it was not clear whether it was because of the scene going in front of me or just another of these weird effects of this drink on me. Surely I was not in my right mind, but the only thing I knew at this moment was— I did not want to be here anymore. The air in th

AthenaTill we reached close to the mansion, I was a whole different person. It was debate whether I even remembered my own name, however, I did not have to be told twice that I still knew each and every syllable of someone's name and that someone was none other than my mate whose anger hadn't lessened even the slightest bit yet he kept me cradled to his chest like some precious belonging that needed to be protected."You are strange," I murmured burying my head into his chest, "You try to act like someone you are not but always end up leaving clues to the one you are in reality, but for some reason, try to enforce others to believe what you pretend to be in real life. Everything about you is so strange, but I still can't stop loving you.""If you were not this drunk, I'd whip some senses into your head," His voice was not as harsh as it always had been, "You have completely lost your mind.""No, I haven't," I mustered, "I'm telling you my feelings."" I don't want to hear about your

Sebastian'I love you'—Her words echoed inside of my head over and over again in a continuous, never-ending loop, wiping any traces of sleep away from my eyes, keeping me wide awake for obvious reasons I tended to avoid.It felt weird to hear those words in repeat.Why did she love me after everything I have done to her? How could she still try to love me and bring me back from where I preferred to stay?I wanted the darkness, then why was she trying to drag me to face the light where she hoped would prevail an escape for both of us? It was hate that she was supposed to feel for me, not the love she was surging over me every day and every second.I glanced down at her, hearing the faint sound of her relaxed breathing as she slept on top of me. I knew she was sleeping because the only time she remains this unguarded was when she was asleep, other than that, it'd always be her trying to stay careful with every little thing, every small movement she makes or even breathing and making a s

Sebastian"Show me the CCTV footage of yesterday," I told Pete who immediately ordered one of his guards to bring his laptop.They worked fast, wary about their movements as I have already let them know that I was more than willing to kill them if they fail to give me the right information. So, it was either do or die for them, although my situation was not so stable as well. The argument with Athena has left me and my beliefs shaken. She fucked me up pretty badly, and my last statement before I exited the room, did the same thing to her in return. I'd seen it in her eyes— I have broken her."Alpha, here's the footage." David opened the video, connecting the laptop to the big monitor for a better view."Speed it up." I barked, tapping the ash of the cigar on the ashtray beside me as I fixated my eyes on the screen, to be very specific, my mate.There was no question that a werewolf's eyes will miss any of the odd changes or even the slightest movements that did not go with the situat
