Cloaks And Witches

Five packs.Unknown wolves suddenly attacked five packs.They had struck almost at the same time in different places, and none of them was caught.“None of them at all?” Athena asked one of the alphas in the conference meeting, whom she immediately called as soon as she got back to Moonvale.“Not one of them, Your Majesty,” Alpha Ryan responded with a disturbed expression. “What is more disturbing is that they had no scent at all, Your Majesty. It was as if they were able to come and leave undetected. Apart from each pack feeling the break when our members got killed, nothing else was felt. Not even on the border.”“I still think they might be rogues. Those filthy bastards are always up to no good!” Alpha Kane bellowed.Athena could not blame the man for his outburst in her presence. His mate's brother was one of those killed in his pack.“I am sorry about your loss, Alpha Kane. All of you. We will definitely get to the bottom of this, and whoever those bastards are, we will find them.

I Failed You

She had heard about the terrible dark powers that could do things like that. Not all witches dared to engage in it, either.She had not thought of its possibility because witches had not been sighted around any pack for centuries.Stories about dark witches like that had been told more like scary stories when she was young.And now?Athena could not believe a witch or two were probably roaming free in the kingdom at the moment. And helping rogues, or who knows who else? But why? She wondered in frustration.“Oh, now we have a fucking witch to deal with? Goddess help any who dared cross my land. I hate those damn breeds.” Alpha Kane’s face looked like he was very close to having an apoplectic fit.“Oh, you hate everyone,” Alpha Rohan muttered beneath his breath.Well, not so much a mutter because Athena heard it clearly. So did all the other alphas.Alpha Kane’s glower darkened. “I told you to…!”“Enough!” Athena’s voice snapped out like a whip, cracking across the room and arresting

What Changed?

“How are you doing today?” Athena's lips tilted upward with a small smile as she stared at the figure on the bed.The beeping sound of the ECG was scraping on her nerves, but then the reminder of what it stood for soothed her.The beeps indicated that Zaya was still here.Though she looked heartbreakingly small in that bed with a bandage over her face and head, her body practically swallowed up by the hospital gown, the beeps were a sign that the bastards who brought her down had not won yet.Athena’s hands slowly massaged Zaya's as she smiled again, “I bet you hate this, don't you? Being held down in that bed, when you barely stay in a spot for long?”The silence that greeted her instead of the sassy response she would have gotten saddened her even more.Of course, she expected this.When she left Krux's grave, all dry-eyed and heavy-hearted, unable to speak to even Raymond, she had known she would get no answer at Zaya's bedside.It was the reason she had chosen that moment to visit

Tell Me To Stay

“You are doing it again.”He said in a low tone filled with so much raw energy that threatened to unravel the strength she wrapped tightly around herself.“Doing what?” She asked innocently.His eyes darkened at that. The hazel darkened with something close to hostility, and she almost took a step backward.Turning nearly black, his eyes danced over her stoic face as he nodded almost to himself.“Pushing me away. It's your first reaction. Every single time. It's almost like you…”He gritted his teeth, the tension showing through his chin as he turned his head sideways like he was struggling to hold back what he might regret later.Athena knew she should shut up then and just wait for him to leave.Instead, she couldn't stop the words that slipped out of her lips, “Like I what?!”“Like you don't think that I am strong enough to stay!” He snapped at her.He looked like he hated what he just did. But he went on anyway. “Almost like you are still comparing me to him. Richard. Like you are

The Nightmare

Raymond!”Athena screamed through a raw throat as she jerked awake.Her eyes scrambled wildly around the room as she half expected to see the flames leaping at her.Instead, a harmless shaft of light filtered through the gossamer curtains at the window, bathing her face as panic turned to realisation.“Damn it!” she swore beneath her breath as she held her head in her hands and tried to calm her raging chest.“That was…” She shook her head as the tangy feel of smoke began to subside in her nose.The nightmare had felt too real!Panic was still dancing over her skin even as she tried not to think about it.One moment, everything had been great.They had been having a great time and enjoying each other's company.Then all of a sudden she was in the back seat of a car, crammed into it with three other people beside her.The person she was having a good time with earlier was driving and the front seat was packed too.About four people on the seat. The space was packed so tight that some o

Hormones?

“That's all then.” Athena leaned back from the system. “I will personally supervise the projects here in Moonvale and I expect you to do the same in your packs as well. I will be visiting your packs soon too. But in the meantime, you can reach out regarding anything you might need.”“Noted, Your Majesty,” they chorused.“Thank you for attending the meeting. While we work on getting those who seek to destroy us out of their holes, thank you for working with me to make sure that they see that their underhanded tactics are not enough to stop us.”The meeting ended and Athena stood heavily from the table. Her eyes caught on the missed calls blazing on her phone and she headed to the window.If he could miss her calls because he was too busy with a conversation, then she could do the same as well.“After all, she was a busy woman and not someone waiting around with bated breath for him to give her the time of day.”“You didn't invite him to the meeting,” Morrigan's voice stirred in accusati

Miss Me?

“That woman is driving me crazy!”Raymond growled beneath his breath as he lowered the phone from his ears.He glowered at the renovation going on at the former dungeon.Gone was the soot and watermarked stains that had decorated the building after the fire.Those had been wiped clean like they were never there and the sounds of metals and grunts were coming from the interior too as the iron bars that stood for years in the building were being ripped out.Some of the pack members too had volunteered to help with the renovation.Offering help however they can.Richard could see the relief and joy in the faces of most of them who had experienced terrible moments within the building.Moments from when Richard and his damn fiancee were casually imprisoning people there for something even as small as breathing wrong around them.Some of the men working outside darted nervous glances towards Raymond, probably wondering why he was looking at them like he wanted to rip their heads off.Raymon

Deny or Lose

For a moment, Raymond wondered if this was Athena messing with him.“Nah, this is not her style,” he responded to himself.He could see the construction workers glancing his way, probably wondering why he was not approaching them yet.He immediately dialled the number that sent the text.“The number you dialled is not in service,” the mechanical voice sing-songed in his ear immediately.“What the…?”How can an unregistered number be chatting him?Would Athena really…He decided to text back.“Who are you? And what is this about?”No response.He was wondering if the number was disconnected right after the first message was sent.But who would be sending him such a message?He wondered in confusion.Then he typed, “Athena? Is that you? Baby, can you just pick your call? What's going on?”He tossed the phone down on the space beside his seat as he briefly wondered how fast he could get to Moonvale.She did tell him to leave and he intended to stay away until she admitted that she wanted

Mine Or No One Else's

Something like a gunshot echoed through Raymond's chest, burning through the chaos.He jerked out of his troubled dream into pitch darkness.His chest was heaving like he had just finished a marathon.His skin was drenched with sweat, making his shirt stick to his body.The chaos followed him out of the dream as he looked at the mess around his office.He soon realised what had caused the sound.In the torments of his nightmare, he had crashed around on his table, scattering everything on the surface, including the half-drunk bottle and the glass he was using for the cognac before sleep claimed him.He automatically bent to pick the drink still spilling into the rug from the bottle as his eyes caught on the jagged marks that had been gouged deep into the leather covering of his desk.Claw marks.He had shifted in his dream!Partially, of course. Just the claws, but that had been enough to nearly ruin his desk as he tried to claw his way to his mate.“Athena!” His heart trembled as the

Not A Regular Luna

Athena couldn't sleep. Hearing from Raymond had managed to loosen that knot in her chest, the one that had been there since he left and had only intensified when he didn't pick her call. She had managed to tell herself that being at odds with him did not disturb her. But it wasn't until she heard his voice last night that she realised she had been lying to herself anyway. She hated fighting with her mate. She even hated being apart from him the most. “You are right,” she said to Morrigan as she got off the bed where she had been tossing and turning all night. “It sucks.” Morrigan remained silent, but Athena could practically feel her smirk. She rolled her eyes with a smile as she went to her dresser to put on a coat over her pyjamas. Dawn was hardly brushing the lightening sky when she stepped out of the alpha house. Fog hung low over the grounds and shrubberies as it was reluctant to let go of the night. As her slippered feet took her down the driveway towards the woods, At
