Athena’s POVThe kids' giggling warmed my heart; Andrew was busy playing with them, and they ran all over the place; I could easily say Andrew is the favorite parent between both of usI sat on the bed, my heart gladdened just by the sight of them, and I can't fathom the happiness they have brought into my life. It seems like only yesterday that I was in the theater room with Alice, trying to push them out of my belly, but now they will be celebrating their one-year-old birthday tomorrow.“Stop it, Evan, you're going to pull a tooth,” I said, and Andrew laughed.“You worry too much about the kids, they're fine, and I'm here with them,” he said, and I groaned; I know how much I worry about them, and I can't blame myself; they're all I've got, and if anything happens to them, I don't believe I'll ever forgive myself. “Yeah, I know,” I answered with a smile as I heard a knock on the door and Andrew growled a come in, the door opened, and beta Royce entered my room.“Your immediate atten

Athena’s POVI sigh as I hear snoring near me, I feel weak deep within, and I try turning on the other side of the bed I'm sleeping on, but my hand lands on a hard surface, I'm shocked, and I open my eyes immediately. I screamed when I noticed a naked unknown man lying opposite me. I stood up and fell to the floor, naked, and hurriedly grabbed the blanket next to me, wrapping it around my body; I was astonished to discover that there were two men in the room.I struggled to recall the previous night's events; I remembered a strange man coming to me and speaking to me; I remembered suddenly losing consciousness and gasping; I looked around the odd room and realized I had been kidnapped.Tears welled up in my eyes as I considered what might have happened throughout the night that I didn't remember when I heard the door open, and I was surprised to see Andrew enter the room with his beta and lady Edna. Lady Edna's face is permanently plastered with a wicked smirk, Andrew is enraged, an

Daniel’s POVAndrew brought me to the dungeon where those men were being held. I spotted the two men naked in the cell and snarled at them; as soon as they saw me and Andrew, they collapsed to the floor.“Are they the ones you caught with Athena?”I inquired.“Yes!” Andrew responded, and I nodded, returning my focus to them. “What happened between you and Athena, and how come you laid naked next to her?”I inquired, and they looked at each other, refusing to speak, and I snarled, hitting my fist on the cell, and they fled back, their eyes widening in dread, and I darted my eyeballs around them. “Please open this cell! They need to be tortured, and maybe they'll talk by then,” I remarked, as one of the guards swiftly entered the cell, shackled their hands behind their backs, and led them to the torturing chamber.They dropped to the floor, and I looked at them with rage in my eyes, barely restraining my wolf, who was on the surface attempting to take command. I saw the fire kindled in

Athena’s POVI groaned as I clutched my palm on my head and felt a severe headache pass through my skull. I yawned as I gently opened my eyes.I looked around the room and realized it was unfamiliar to me, my eyes widened in awareness that I might have been kidnapped, I attempted getting up quickly but fell on the bed groaning, I grabbed my head once again attempting to soothe the agony I felt“Easy lady,” a strange voice muttered, and I quickly darted my gaze to my side, where I noticed a man standing with a cup of coffee in his hand, a small spoon in his right hand, and stirring the contents of the coffee cup.“How do you feel now that you're up?” he inquired, and I closed my eyes groaning; the last thing I recalled was rushing with my kids within the forest, and I blacked out when I was struck by a large piece of wood.“What am I doing? What happened to my children? What is your name? How did I end up here?” I inquired, and he chuckled. “A question at a time,” he taunted, continui

Edna’s POV I was busy pacing about in my room, I was happy that Athena was caught and everything went according to my plan. Andrew has grown to fall in love with Athena, and that wasn’t what we agreed on initially when I found out Athena was living in the pack when I was away. I wasn’t just chosen to be Alpha Andrew’s mate, I have helped him grow this pack, and I was there for him through thick and thin, and it was only reasonable that we end up together to strengthen the pack and its borders. I traveled to several packs to get business done, to do things that will bring more earnings to the pack and strengthen the power of Alpha Andrew only to help him avenge against his brother who has taken his rights Andrew approached me one of the nights and told me about how Athena was his step-brother’s mate, and he wanted to use Athena against his brother, he had pleaded with me to let him do everything he wanted to do, and he will come back to, which I foolishly accepted the condition.
