All Chapters of Craved By My Ex-Mate’s Father: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Travis’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the collar of my deep black suit. My fingers trembled slightly as I held the bouquet of white and red roses. The flowers were big and beautiful, tied together with a golden ribbon.Tonight was the annual pack ball our most awaited celebration of the year and tonight, I was going to make a very important announcement. I was going to tell the whole pack that I was marrying Athena.The ballroom was already filled with people. Music played softly in the background, and laughter echoed through the wide hall. Lights twinkled from the chandeliers above, and the smell of roasted meat, sweet wine, and fresh flowers filled the air. Everyone looked happy, dancing and talking, holding glasses and smiling at each other.But I sat quietly at the throne, bouquet in my hand, waiting for her.The doors opened and everything stopped. Athena stepped into the room like a dream. Her green dress flowed like water, smooth and soft, hugging her curves an

Athena’s POVI was so tired. My head felt heavy and my feet were sore. My eyes wanted to shut and never open again.The day had barely started, and already, I wanted it to end. I had a dress appointment then hair, makeup, a spa treatment and meetings with the wedding planner.I was the bride, yes but I felt more like a soldier going to war.Everything was too much and fast. I kept trying to smile, to keep my cool, to look calm and in control.The sun was hot; the bridal shop was cool inside, but my skin still felt sticky and hot.I stood still on the little platform, arms out, as the seamstress walked around me."Turn a bit, dear," she said sweetly. "I need to mark your waistline."I nodded and turned. My dress clung to my body. The pins poked a little, but I didn’t flinch."Now lift your arms up," she said again. "Good. Just like that, stay still."She wrapped the measuring tape around my chest. I stared at the mirror in front of me. My eyes were dull. I looked like a tired ghost in

Athena’s POVThe wedding was getting closer, and every little detail was falling into place. The planner had done an amazing job. She was so detailed and careful, making sure that nothing was missed. The flowers, the food, the decorations everything was exactly how I imagined it.But even with all that, there was something I wanted to do for the pack too. I felt I owed it to them for being so loving towards me after their opinion about me changed.That morning after training I told Matthew about my thoughts.“I want to give something back to the pack,” I said softly. “Something meaningful.”He looked up from his seat and smiled. “That’s a good cause, Athena. What do you have in mind?”I bit my lip. “I want to feed the children in the pack. Like, a big event just for them. Food, music, games. And… I want to release some of the people in jail. The ones who have changed and deserve a second chance and also those that be been in there for so long they lost all hope. I want to do this as a

Paige’s POVI stepped into the dark room. The smell of thick smoke hit me first. Smoke curled in the air like ghosts dancing slow. My boots clicked against the cold concrete floor. The warehouse was wide and shadowy and the lights above flickered, barely working.The room was filled with crates and metal shelves. Guns lay scattered on some tables shiny black ones, long rifles, and tiny silver pistols. There were boxes too, stacked high, with strange names printed on them. I knew they were full of drugs.Men stood in small groups, some laughing, some whispering. Their eyes turned to me as I walked by, but no one said a word. Smoke drifted up from their lips and someone handed me a lit joint without a word. I took it and breathed in deep.Staying in the pack, I couldn’t smoke as much as I wanted but here, I could be myself.I walked slowly toward the long table at the back of the warehouse and saw him. "Arrow," I said.He looked up and scoffed. A deep scar ran across his cheek, from hi

Travis’s POVI sat with Matthew and Marcus deep in thought. The room was quiet and the single bulb above us was swinging slightly. I leaned forward, resting my arms on the table focused.“I need everything on the Triangle Gang,” I said, seriously. “Everything you know.”Matthew looked at me and nodded slowly. His face was calm, but I could see the worry in his eyes. “The Triangle Gang,” he said, “was also called the Wolf Gang. They were the most dangerous gang around eight years ago, they went underground and no one has heard from them again. I thought they were gone for good and finished.”“Well,” I said, voice sharp, “they're not finished. They tried to murder me and Athena.”Marcus frowned. “The issue is we have no lead and we don’t know why or what their purpose was or if they were targeting you or Athena?”I shook my head. I had thought about it so many times, but nothing came to mind. Athena was good and kind and also poor so why would a deadly gang go after her?“They must know
