Why Me?

Chapter 16

     {Athena}

          I am going to die.

       I always thought I would live to the ripe old age of at least 70 but here I am, not even 20 yet and I am already on the brink of death.

      I used to think Adonis glaring at me was funny but nope. Now he has added the slitting my throat motion.

      Yup he definitely blames me for the fact that Quilla is staying with only me for the week. He doesn't have it going on like Stacy's Mom. And what does that mean?

       Well it means that you have an angry alpha who wants to destroy whatever and whoever is in his way. And who might that be? Why your poor innocent Athena that is who!!!!!

       I groan as I try to ignore the beast that has been following Quilla and I all day. We continued to walk around town and Quilla was talking animatedly the whole time completely ignoring her brooding mate.

       Also did I mention this was only day one of our sleep over? Yup see why I'm dead!

       {Kaiser}

           This is how I'm going to go. I haven't even met my mate and yet here I go.

       My best friend Griffin has me held by the neck against the wall of his office. It was a really nice office though so I have to admit if I was going to go at least the setting was nice.

       A strong handsome man holding me against a mahogany wall, with a fire going in the background. I suppose it isn't the worst way to die. Letting my eyes close I await my death.

      After a few moments of nothing I open my eyes to see Griffin staring at me before he asks, "why the hell did you suddenly close your eyes like you were about to be transported to heaven? I grew up with you and know that isn't where you were going."

      I glare at him, stupid cheeky man, even when he is pissed at me he can't help but jest with me. He slowly lets me down before moving to sit behind his desk. He gestures for me to take a seat in one of the chairs and then he just stares at me.

        I start to sweat as his piercing green eyes stare into my very soul. I try to distract myself by thinking of flowers, sexy men, and platypuses. But alas it is to no avail. Groaning I finally moan out the answer he has been wanting to hear.

      "Yes I know where Athena is and if you explain to me why you have been treating her like dirt I will help you get her back! But only if you promise me you will name your first boy Kaiser junior and let me dress him occasionally. Like once a week. Maybe twice."

      "Deal." Then Griffin went on to explain why he and his parents had been acting like jerks. It took a couple hours but the shortened version is,

      "Dang son! They were in some deep poop!"

   
       {Athena}

           Day three of our sleepover or as I like to call it "week long preparation for Athena's death" and I decided to just go with it.

       If I was going to die, I was going to enjoy my last few day. Forget about mate issues, forget about angry beasts that belong to your best friend. And most importantly! Eat whatever I wanted and get fat!

       If I no longer have a mate to worry about i can eat whatever I want!!! Yesssss Athena slay!!!

      Oh who am I kidding I'm stress eating. That's what happens when you have one alpha reject you and another want to kill you. Oh and a best friend who won't stop saying stupid things like,

     "They call it apple sauce because the first batch was made from saucy apples." Or, "I wonder if they call it a lamp shade because the dude was so shady his only weapon was a lamp."

       And this went on for 3 whole days! And I still have 4 more days to go!!!!! Come on Athena you can do this!

    
      {Quilla}

          I stand toe to toe with my mate and sad to say my head only comes up to his chest! Stupid tall alpha males who were blessed by the MoonGoddess with with height, looks, and outrageously large muscles!

         Normally this would seem like a very bad position to be in. Short me standing toe to toe with an angry alpha who hasn't gotten any for 3 days.

        Except! I am the one who he wants to get it on with so he can't kill me without hurting himself technically. With that little power card in the pocket of my amazing pink pants. (They were even the same pink that I dyed the betas hair last week)

        I stood bravely and glared all the way up his outrageously gigantic self. We stood like this for a while, neither of us willing to back down.

       Finally I burst out laughing not able to contain myself, "you have so many wrinkles when you glare! I have a wrinkly old man for a mate!!!"

      "Well you don't exactly have smooth skin when you glare either." My mate had the audacity to retort.

      How dare he!!!!!!!! Does he know how much foundation I applied!!!!!! And to say I have wrinkles!!!!! I spend a good part. My morning on this and he just insulted it!!!!!! Ooooh he is definitely not getting it on like Stacy's mom!!!!

       I slap his wrinkly face and walk out with my head held high. It would have been an excellent, and dramatic exit had he not grabbed me around the waste and hulled me back like I was a sack of potatoes.

      Oh great comparing myself to potatoes and having my mate say I am wrinkly all in less than 10 minutes. What has my life come to?!?!?

      Oh well, his kisses are slightly distracting. Ok maybe a little more than slightly. Shut up Quilla! Just enjoy the moment, my wolf finally commands me.

       Well a girl has to do what a girl has to do.

        I hope Athena doesn't miss me too much, but with the look on my mates face I may be occupied for a while.......
