Rise of Athena

Chapter 16

She looked at her reflection. The maid had helped her don a simple day dress.
The clothes were modest ones, nok at all fit for an Alpha. And that was the reason she was going to order a new wardrobe, not because she wanted Alexander to see her in them. Not at all. He had run for hours at full speed-his injured shoulder had healed almost immediately as he shifted to wolf form
-but even that couldn't erase his pain or anger as soon as he crossed into his territory, his pack. His people, who share the unique link with their Alpha, all felt it. He emerged from the forest with a tortured look on his face, wearing tattered trousers he had held in his mouth while in his wolf form.
He saw not less than 500 of his soldiers, all in wolf form, prepared to spill blood. But no one will harm their car. He protected her at all costs, but who would protect her from him? He threw his head back and gave a loud animalistic roar, the sound attracting those who lived in the remote part of the pack and hadn't felt their alpha's pain. They all lowered their heads and crouched low, waiting for a command.
"Return." Return to your home. And don't worry. Your Alpha is well. " He walked into the throne room and met
Ciara there." If it isn't Joseph the dreamer, I'm guessing your dream turned out to be a nightmare." He thought of Athena. She was better than a dream and yet worse than any nightmare. "And where have you been?
" He ignored the taunt. Away on a journey to thank the devil for keeping his promise to rid us of you. But it would seem my visit was unfounded and the rumors are true. "The prodigal Alpha has returned." Alex replied."
May God have mercy on all our souls.!
She said, and they both chuckled good-naturedly. I have found my Cara.
From your expression, I am guessing she doesn't want you." Ciara looked amused." She tries to kill me every time she gets an opportunity."
Literally, "Let me guess, you decided to be foolishly romantic and didn't tell her you're the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack?" She thinks I'm a servant." She thinks you lied to her." "You're dismissed." He was annoyed. "Think about it." She said it with laughter and left. Was she right? No, she couldn't be. He knew Athena, not she. He walked to the royal seat next reserved for the Queen, which was placed on a pedestal slightly lower than the one reserved for the king. He made a bow to himself. No matter what it took, Athena would sit on this throne right next to him. For now, he gave her space." Take this to the council members, make sure they receive it without undue delay." He handed a few missives to the messenger, who hurried away. "Beta, how are my people?" Alex turned to the dark-haired man who had just entered the building. "Your people miss you." And I discovered them." I learned something curious when I arrived at the pack earlier. Something you haven't denied. Yet, my wife tells me you plan on leaving again. " Alex leaned back on his chair in exhaustion.

" You may be the next Alpha." I do not understand. You still have a long time ahead of you to find your mate. "(I have found my mate. Is it a man then?
"Are vou out of your mind? Well, you must excuse me for asking, but it is a valid question considering the way you are speaking. "I am a woman, and I am certain of my sexual orientation, as you should be given our shared interests. "Where is she then? "
RUNNING her pack" ( His left hand went to his arm and his fingers began to drum. "Alongside her mat? What are you saying?" I am saying my mate is an alpha in her own right. "
Impossible." Alex's fingers stopped momentarily as he asked. "Are you questioning my word?" Aware that despite their friendship, he was coming close to crossing a line, he quickly apologized. "Forgive me. It's just that it has never been heard of in the history of werewolves that a mere woman-" Alex couldn't let him finish.
" Careful "I believe I will take my leave now. T, the beta, said cautiously "With your permission, of course." He added, and Alex nodded his assent and released a long breath as he watched him exit the door.
*FLASHBACK*
A word of thanks would not be out of place. I just saved your life! " He exclaimed, standing in her way. She nudged her horse forward, around him. "Oh, so you were on a suicide mission then." He said he got the message that she hadn't wanted his help. She continued to move. "I am because of you." naked and stranded in a forest. You will not leave me alone here like this. He stopped mid-sentence as she led her horse around him, delivering her message quite effectively: 'yes, I can leave you.' " Wait!" He called out behind her. She kept on moving. At least tell me your name. "Where are you going?" He began to run after her, stopping once more in front of her. You know what, I saved your life, so you owe me. And I demand that you let me ride in your carriage. " He said and marched off to the carriage door before she couid stop him, muttering under his breath. What is she keeping in here anyway? He thought. He yelled and immediately jumped back from the carriage as he opened it." You have a dead werewolf in your carriage." Who is she?" She turned her head away from his direction. He looked at her with concern and whispered: "You can't speak?" She stayed the way she was and uttered a single word "No."He applauded dramatically, "She speaks!" And after his momentary excitement had died down. He asked again." Why do you have a werewolf in your carriage? A dead one, to be precise. You could get in a lot of trouble if her pack discovers you know. " The remainder of the home in the statement seemed to snap something in place. Her head snapped back to look at him. Her emerald eyes, which were formerly devoid of any emotion, were now filled with annoyance. "Go away."

*END OF FLASHBACK*
Alex shook his head vigorously, not wanting to remember the beginning of his rejection by his mate.
