Athena’s POV

One year later

“Today is the day you die, Athena,” Zoey snarled, circling me with a predator’s grace. “I have been waiting for this moment since the day we met.”

“I am still standing, Zoey,” I shot back, muscles coiled, eyes locked on hers. “And I’m not going down without a fight.”

The crowd erupted as we lunged at each other, the clash of claws and teeth echoing across the Arena. Sparks of energy flared when we collided, both of us straining every ounce of strength.

    Azreal"How sure are you about this?" I asked. Talia stood in my office with Mom and Gabriel. She had come to tell us that one of the palace maids and one of the warriors who had recently joined my army needed to be investigated.She nodded confidently. "I'm sure," she said. "That girl has always been a weirdo ever since we shared a room. She keeps to herself and barely talks unless someone speaks to her first. For someone like that to suddenly hug Athena and pat her on the head, it's suspicious."Gabriel shook his head. "But you know that's just an assumption, babe," he said. "I ran into Athena that day too. Why didn't you add me to the list of suspects?"Talia threw her hands into the air in frustration. "Because you didn't hug her or pat her on the head," she replied. "Besides, Athena herself said she was suspicious of Janice. We already think Janice might also be working for the General."I frowned. "What do you mean Janice is also working for the General?" I asked. "Did Athena

    AthenaI wrapped the shawl Luna Elsa had brought me tightly around my body. The cold inside the prison was unbearable, seeping into my bones no matter how hard I tried to stay warm. At least with the shawl, I wouldn't freeze to death before my execution. It wasn't much, but it made surviving the long, icy nights a little easier.That night, I heard the heavy prison gates creak open. My entire body tensed. Slow, steady footsteps echoed through the silent hallway, growing closer until they suddenly stopped somewhere near my cell. My heart pounded against my chest as I held my breath, listening carefully.Whoever it was didn't say a word, they just stood there. Minutes passed, then an hour, then another. I stayed awake, refusing to close my eyes. I kept waiting for them to attack, to unlock the cell, or to say something.But nothing happened. Eventually, exhaustion won the battle. My eyelids became too heavy to keep open, and I drifted into an uneasy sleep. I only woke up at dawn when I

    Azrael“I believe Athena was already marked for banishment before anyone found out she was your mate,” Mother said.We were sitting in my office after she returned from speaking with Athena. She had gone to question her privately to confirm whether she was truly the woman from that night. Judging by the serious expression on her face, she had gotten the answers she needed.“She explained everything to me,” Mother continued. “On the day of the mating ball, the pack bus left without her, so everyone else returned home first. By the time she finally made it back with your mate mark on her neck, nobody cared about finding out who had marked her. Her father immediately threw her out of the pack without even consulting the elders.”I leaned back in my chair, silently processing everything she was saying.“That tells me her banishment had already been planned before the mating ceremony,” Mother went on. “Then you visited their pack, and they discovered she was your true mate. Instead of acce

    AthenaI sat on the cold stone floor of the prison cell. The freezing air wrapped around me, making my whole body tremble. It was so dark that I could barely make out anything around me. The only thing I could see clearly was the rough wall behind me whenever a little light slipped through the bars.I wrapped my arms tightly around myself, trying to keep whatever little warmth I had left. It didn't help much. My clothes had been taken from me, leaving me with only my bra and underwear. Every passing second felt colder than the last, and my body refused to stop shivering.Slowly, I rested the back of my head against the damp wall and closed my eyes. My mind refused to stay quiet. I kept thinking about everything that had happened, trying to understand how I had ended up in this nightmare.None of it made any sense.There was no logical explanation for my actions except that I had been under some kind of spell. I forced myself to retrace every step I had taken, hoping I would remember a

    Azreal"That's impossible!" she exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock. "No one can see that tattoo on your back, not even me," Mom said, staring at me as if I had just said the most unbelievable thing she had ever heard."She saw it, Mom, and she is the lady from that night, not Aurora," I said.Mom's hand flew to her mouth as she struggled to process what I had just told her. She stood frozen for a moment, taking slow, uneven breaths while staring at me with disbelief written all over her face."Are you sure?" she whispered. "Celestina said no one else can see it except you and those connected to it. I thought they got wiped out?" she asked, her voice filled with surprise and confusion.I understood exactly why she was reacting that way because I was just as confused.The tattoo on my back was no ordinary mark. It wasn't something anyone had ever been able to see. Not even my own mother had seen it, despite being there the day the powerful witch, Celestina, performed the spell.That

    AzraelI pushed the door to my office open and stormed inside, with Gabriel following closely behind me. The anger boiling inside me was too much to control. I marched straight to my desk and, with one sweep of my arm, sent everything on it crashing to the floor. Papers scattered everywhere while books and ornaments hit the ground with loud thuds.Still not satisfied, I grabbed the chair beside my desk and hurled it across the room. It slammed hard against the wall before falling to the floor."You need to calm down," Gabriel said.I turned to him sharply, my chest rising and falling with every heavy breath. "Do you think calming down is going to solve any of this?" I shouted."You destroying things won't make anything better either," he replied. "At least sit down so we can think this through. Maybe we'll find something we can do."I let out a bitter laugh and ran a hand through my hair. There was nothing anyone could do. Just when I thought everything was finally falling into place,

    AthenaIt had been several days since my last encounter with the king, yet the fear had not left me for a second. Every waking moment, I kept thinking about those documents. What if he ask them to be printed again? The thought of being dragged into his infamous dungeon made me fear. I had heard to

    AthenaSlowly, I lifted my head. The king stood at the door, I was sure he had already retired for the day, so seeing him there again caught me off guard. My thoughts began to race immediately. Has he seen the file before now? Did he already know everything? Or had he just walked in at the worst po

    Athena “We need to talk,” Zoey said quietly as she walked up to me. I was busy cleaning the pack’s dining hall. The table stretched across the room, long enough to seat over fifty people, yet it was rarely used. Most of the time, it stayed empty because even the Alpha preferred eating in his own

    AzraelMarcus turned to look at his Luna, his brows slightly furrowed as if he was only just noticing the resemblance I pointed out. He studied her face for a moment, then looked back at me. His lips parted like he wanted to speak, but no words came out. He hesitated.Margaret stepped in before he
