CHAPTER 43

(Athena's POV)

Today's the 3rd day after we received the letter from Lucius. The pack is on high alert. The witches have upgraded the shield with some extra powers. Victor and I had a quick breakfast and we are in the living room now, with our parents. The tension is thick in the air. I can sense Victor is on the edge. But there is nothing to do now, other than wait.

"Urgh" I start getting a headache, I didn't get any vision after yesterday, thanks to Victor. I want to see what this vision is about, I have a feeling there is something new in the one that's coming. I grit my teeth to avoid showing any hints of pain, which could grab Victor's attention. He doesn't want me to be in pain, which is very heartwarming, but I want to know. So, the curiosity gets the better of me.

I see flashes of white, and I see the same village and the killing of the female vampire...The same thing... White light... There is a sudden shift in the surroundings though. This time all I see is snow, and boulders of snow falling, starting a chain reaction, causing an avalanche... Screams... A fluffy tail - The tail of a wild cat...

"Athena!" My mom shouts grabbing my arms, and I can feel Victor massaging my temples and pressing kisses on the top of my head. The pain recedes, and I inhale deeply.

"You should have told me another one was coming Athena..." Victor says sternly.

"This one was different." I tell them the details of the new premonition. No one says anything. Victor carries me to our floor to make me rest, our moms following us.

The sun sets and my anxiety hits an all time high. Victor holds my hands, "Love, I promise to you, that no harm will come to you. Lucius won't be able to get anywhere near you. Relax" I can only manage to nod.

I took a nap after lunch, and had the snow and avalanche premonition again, but since it was in my sleep, it didn't hurt.

(Victor's POV)

'Alpha' Z mindlinks me.

'Yes Z'

'We have visual confirmation that Lucius has left his mansion and is on the way to our pack' he tells me.

'Take positions' I tell him and cut off the link.

"Love, Lucius is on his way here. I want you to stay here in the packhouse."

"I want to come with you..." Athena drags

"No. He wants to kill you. More the space between him and you, the better it will be. And it is not up for discussion. Stay with your parents and my mom." I tell her firmly.

She sighs, "Be careful Victor, I would never forgive myself if something happens to you because of me..."

"Don't worry. I am capable of taking care of myself. Besides, Lucius won't be able to get past the shield put up by the witches. I am just going there to ensure and see for myself that he and his men fail in their attempts to get inside and capture him."

"So, you won't kill him?" she asks, confused.

"I didn't say that."

"Victor, if you get close to him, he may hurt you. I don't care how strong you are, I don't want to even think of a possibility where something will happen to you" she tells me, her eyes welling up.

"If we leave him, he will not stop his attempts to kill you. It will be handled properly. So don't stress." I tell her, pulling her into my arms.
