Andrea’s POV I was still unable to overcome the shock of how Athena almost had me killed, even after spending weeks in the dungeon, maltreated and punished, she still had the power to fight me and almost killed me. I thought she was just a piece of cake I could deal with, I wouldn’t have known what would have happened if Lucas didn’t intervene. I hissed as I cleaned my bruises, I could barely stand well on my feet as I leapt everywhere that I went, I sighed and threw the cotton wool I was holding away, I turned on the shower and stood inside the shower washing my body. I suddenly remembered the day I stepped out of Alpha Daniel’s pack, I was already tired of everything going on and how I kept failing to get his attention, I wanted to discuss my new plan with Lucas only to come here and find other plans, a much more interesting one. I turned off the shower when I was done washing my body, I went back to my room and cleaned the moisture off my body wearing a pair of clean clothes,

Athena’s POVAt this rate my heart might stop beating, I feel so weak, and I could hardly raise my head up, Andrea had told the guards to torture me twice a day and that way, I won’t be able to stand up and try to escape anymore. I lay on the cold ground of the cell I occupied, the cell was so dark that I could hardly see a thing, my hands shivered from all the torture I was going through, and I felt like giving up.I lay down there, my ears on the ground listening to my uneven breaths, my eyes were weak, and I could hardly keep them open anymore, I closed my eyes trying to welcome in sleep, maybe if I sleep I will feel a bit of peace.My eyes were closed, and I almost slumber into sleep when I suddenly heard the cell door open, I raised my head up and saw two of the guards standing in the cell before me and I knew it was torturing time again, I had hardly gotten over the last one, and now I had to go back and continue from where they stopped. I groaned when they pulled me out of th

Athena’s POVIt was another morning of being hopeless and in endless pain, I sighed as I sat up in the dungeon I was kept. I had lost consciousness earlier because I couldn't bear much suffering any longer, my body felt weak, and it seemed like my vitality evaporated with each breath I took.I was surprised that Andrea had sent someone to look after my health; it was Kiara, one of the girls I trained during my good days in this pack; I saw her eyes widen in shock when she saw the state I was in; she sniffed and a tear escaped her eyes, hoping none of the guards noticed her and reported her back to Andrea.The guards gave us a private time, and she slowly attended to me, each time looking at my face to make sure I was okay; I was glad that, aside from Grace, who sadly died because of me, I have another person in this pack who cares about me, regardless of what their alpha and his sister wanted. "How are you doing? I can't believe Alpha Lucas will let you remain in this condition; what

Lucas' POV I opened my eyes with a groan and rose from the bed, clutching my head hard, an intense headache flowing through my brain. When I looked around my room, memories clashed with me; I remembered everything that had transpired after I went to see Athena in the prison to seek her forgiveness; Andrea had injected something into me, and I lost consciousness once more. I need to figure out what she's doing to me because I can't keep losing my mind and subjecting myself to her authority. She has destroyed all I have set in place, and she now commands my pack, the individuals I have worked hard to dominate. I searched my cupboard and eventually found some pain reliever pills, I strained to drink a cup of water and swallowed the medicine with it, I fell on the floor breathing heavily and squeezing my eyes shut, attempting to control my breathing and relax my head before I could stand up again. After a while, I felt the headache decrease and stood up from the floor. I walked

Athena’s POV Things improved once Evan began living with me in the prison; I was surprised that Andrea provided us with blankets, nice food, and drink, and she also stopped the daily torment in the torturing chamber. I was doing well and couldn't wait to be totally recovered and have Andrea's head. I heard murmuring, and I knew something was going on that I'm not aware of, so I gently laid Evan on my chest and patted his back; he was recovering well, and it wasn't as horrible as I expected if he was in the cell with me. I raised my head to see Kiara walking towards me, and I smiled as her eyes locked with mine. Since Andrea has become a bit nicer, Kiara has taken it upon herself to make sure Evan has proper treatment, and she is always coming over to check on him, and with that, she feeds us some herbs that we need to recover quickly. "How are you doing today?"Kiara inquired, and I grinned. "I'm fine, and Evan is fine; he's adjusting to being in the cell."Kiara's face sank as I c
