CHAPTER 61ATHENAThe BallI carefully applied the last touch to my lips, gliding on a beautiful shade of orange-nude lipstick. As I admired the final result in the mirror, a sense of excitement stirred within me. Tonight was the night.A sleeveless, long black dress clung to my figure, gracefully accentuating my curves. The fabric flowed effortlessly, hugging me in all the right places and exuding an air of sophistication. I slipped into a pair of high heels in the same color, their elegant design adding height and a touch of grace to my ensemble.Turning my attention to my makeup, I aimed for a glamorous yet natural look. I wanted to enhance my features without overpowering my inherent beauty. I applied precisely lined eyeliner to emphasize my eyes, and a touch of shimmery eyeshadow to add a hint of mystique. A gentle dusting of blush gave my cheeks a youthful glow, while the vibrant yet soft shade of lipstick on my lips exuded playfulness and allure.With my appearance nearly compl

ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 63ATHENA I looked away and continued walking. “I’m sorry I haven’t kept in touch. I’ve just been pretty busy this past week. My brother had his wedding and there was a lot to do.” I used the term wedding instead of union ceremony as we called it so it wouldn’t sound weird. It was practically the same thing though.“Wow, congratulations to him. It must have been quite hectic.”“It was. But it was worth it. We made a few changes to our house too, that was fun, but a little bit strenuous too.”“I can imagine.” He replied.We walked in in silence for a few seconds.“So, is she pregnant?” He asked me, directing his gaze to the PT strip I had in my hand.“I don’t know. She suddenly felt dizzy so I suspected this could be a reason. I guess we’ll find out after she runs some test.” He oronanly didn’t know we were talking about another woman now and not my brothers wife, but I didn’t bother to explain it to him as the hierarchy of the werewolf world didn’t really

ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 65ATHENA I took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. I knew I had to be careful with my words too. Aiden was angry, I could feel it. “Will you keep being like that, or will you listen to my explanation?” I asked, hoping he’d remember our agreement even in this mood.He didn’t reply immediately and as his silence stretched, so did the tension inside me. Still, o waited. I wouldn’t rush him. But then He turned around, taking his eyes off the phone. “I’ll listen to you.” He said and I let out the breath I didn’t know I was holding. Okay, he would listen to me. This was a good start.“Sebastian and I are just friends, nothing more. I met him about a month ago on one of my trips to the city and we ran into each other again today. Turns out, he’s Liam’s cousin.”I paused and watched for his reaction, but his face showed nothing. So I kept going.“The first time we met, we exchanged numbers and he sometimes sends me messages which I’m sure you’ve read.”“You

ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 67ATHENA Rita was too overwhelmed to respond. She just stared into her mate’s eyes, obviously considering the possibility of what I was suggesting. She longed for it to be true, I could see it.“Go check it out. It would be a joy for the both of you and for the rest of us if it comes out positive.” I said to her in a mind link.“I’m fine baby. I need to pee.” She replied hastily and hurried off to the bathroom.I tried to focus on my food and pretend like I wasn’t nervous at all, but it didn’t work. My feet talked impatiently on the floor as I waited for her to come back with the result. Aiden placed a hand on my laps, letting me know that I was being too obvious, so I got myself together and dinner continued without anyone suspecting anything.Rita was taking longer than usual, long enough for beta Noah to start getting worried. He stole glances at the direction of the bathroom at intervals and when she didn’t come out, he pushed his chair back and got u

ALPHA’S REBORN MATECHAPTER 69ATHENA Jackie smiled too. She knew how hard I had trained just to be able to beat her ateast once. She helped me train too.“Congratulations Athy. You’ve done it finally. Your first time beating Lisa in a duel.”“And it won’t be the last. I’ll make sure of it.”“Good luck with that. You know she’s going to train even harder now that you beat her. She’s the top trainee. She won’t let you have it that easy you know. Besides, her father is a warrior and I bet she gets training from him too.”Her last statement was true. Lisa had told me herself that her father was a warrior and that she regularly received training from him, though I didn’t know when they started.“I need to go.” I said, remembering what was really important at that moment.“Don’t you want to come in? We have fresh bread.”“Some other time. Say hi to your mum for me.” I said, Alf hurried off.“Okay.” She yelled after me.I preferred to walk so I didn’t take my car to training. It afforded m
