She belonged to a king

Ch:10 Light

Alcaeus POV

I sat at the edge of the ledge.

Watching

I watched as he waited.

I watched as she came around the corner and ran.

Ran to him, to his arms.

I only say emotion in her eyes when she is running into his arms. As much as it kills me, I know it is the only way to save her.

The first time I saw that boy put his hands on her I saw red I wanted to kill him and along with him,her.

As I passed the trees and the wind blew through my fur it was like the moon goddess herself was telling me it was the only way to save her.

So here I sit watching my mate being saved by another. Just the mere sight is enough to bring me to my knees. I am aware of the fact that I am the reason for the way she is yet if I could go back in time I would do it all over again.

I was and am a man of my word a man who will never go against his beliefs and traditions for anyone. Her mother had to die and along with her, her mate. That's just tradition. He would have died anyway.

Athena had to be taken, branded, and marked in front of the pack. It's how my pack did it, it's how I was taught.

It's just how it had to be.

He picked her up and spun her around. This is the closest I've gotten to her in weeks, I didn't want to smell him on her, and I didn't want to see how much of a good effect he had on her.

My wolf whimpered and growled as he saw his beloved in another's. He was very weak from being away from his mate for too long.

Maybe if I stay away long enough ill just die

Or maybe we can kill that repulsive creature my wolf says to me

I shake my head.

She sits In his lap clutching on to his shoulders like he is a god. I get up walking away for I can't bear to look anymore.

Athena POV

I come to see Laken every day.

As the days go by I feel as if he is giving light to my dark soul. I feel as if he is making my heart beat again.

I can't help but to hope that maybe he will make me feel again.

I hold on to his shoulders as he tells me stories of our once beautiful past.

I can't help but to dream.

Even though I know it's dangerous for my weak heart.

I can feel his presence but I can also feel another one that is stronger.

I turn around in Laken's lap just in time to see his large frame walk away.

Slouched over and looking as if defeated. My heart begins to beat even stronger as Laken pulls me tighter to him, or is it because of Alcaeus.

It's the first time in weeks that I've seen him.

As he walks farther away the wind begins to blow harder.

Yet softly against my skin.

The trees begin to dance faster and the grass sways faster as well.

The grass is pointing towards Laken and I.

Yet the trees are swaying towards Alcaeus.

I don't know what to think, Is it a sign.

I will never pick Alcaeus over Laken I know that.

Yet there is just something missing I don't know what It is I just feel it.

I close my eyes and look to the sky.

Me montrer le chemin mama
