Tonight, is the night Athena and Dominic will make the same wish, their hearts are connected. The fates designed; the moon aligned. The lives of these fated mates are about to change; their paths are about to cross. The powerful, playboy Alpha Dominic Thunders will meet his feisty mate Athena Breeze, Alpha female and lead pack warrior who is ready to reject him on sight, or will she have a change of heart?
Dominic’s P.O.V
I transform into my midnight black wolf, my fangs elongate, and my claws are out. I’m down on all fours and I know my eyes are red I feel Striker smile, he hasn’t been out in a while we look up and howl at the blood moon. We both ask the moon goddess for one thing “this year please bless us with the presence of our gorgeous mate. We need her, I need her. Wherever she is I am willing to go to the ends of the earth to find my love, Oh moon goddess. Please” I didn’t notice at first nor did I feel it, but Striker was howling at the moon in pain and despair, we were howling, calling for our mate, I didn’t know if she could hear us or if she even existed; but we called for her.
Athena’s P.O.V
I feel Nilsa connect with me, our eyes glowing gold. I hear her wish for a mate, I ask the moon goddess to not bring him to me. I do not want to have to reject him. I know I will love him on first scent and then sight. “I hope you can hear me! Please don’t bring him to me. Don’t complicate my life anymore. I know I need him; I know I already love him, but he won’t love me… I know he will reject me, and I don’t want to feel my heart break and my wolf die. If you bring him to me, I will reject him. I don’t care what happens!” I hear Nilsa whimper as she hears my prayer. “What if he loves us more than anything in this universe Athena? You won’t know because you won’t give him a chance”. I feel the earth beneath me vibrate and Nilsa lifts our head to the moon and lets out the most heart-breaking howl, as if she were responding to a calling, I move to the depth of her mind feeling my own heart break… Was my wolf right? Would I lose someone who would genuinely love me all because I was afraid of opening up to the idea of a mate after a dumb failed teenage crush? These questions haunted me for the next couple of days.
***One Week Later***
Athena’s P.O.V
I’m stuck in the office and it’s a little colder than usual, I am super bored since my mom is away on a business trip and my father is well being a grade one a-hole. Since my mom hasn’t given me the heads up on when I will assume her position most of my life has been put on hold and all she talks about is me going and exploring the world. Don’t get me wrong, I want to and will just not at this moment, scrolling through Instagram when a get a private message notification. I decide to open and read it, after a few minutes, I think of chatting I stalk the page and I am blown away. Not only is he devilishly handsome he is also Alpha Dominic Thunders! WHAT THE ACTUAL! We are currently trying to form an alliance with the Red moon pack and here I am like a total asshole flirting with their soon-to-be Alpha! His not even my mate, I should not be enjoying this, then again, he is so damn gorgeous and as far as I know he doesn’t have a mate yet either. I feel Nilsa smile in my head, “What is it Nilsa” she ignores me. The after a while she pipes up “You’ll find out soon darling” and blocks me out before I can even question further. I shrug it off and log of Instagram after giving him my number. I can’t be too easy you know. Besides it will just be casual flirting and then that’s it, what could possibly go wrong?
And boy oh boy, did those words come to bite me fast!
Dominic’s P.O.VI get home after a long damn day; it’s been a while since I’ve checked my social media. I scroll onto Instagram and come across a girl… correction more like a beautiful young lady now on my Instagram suggestions. I decide to follow, I know full well who she is and that our packs are in the process of forming an alliance, some casual flirting would not hurt, My my… Athena Breeze the gir
The weeks leading up to the crowning ceremony of Dominic was smooth and the feelings between Athena and Dominic had been growing, bot unaware of what tonight will hold in store for them as individuals, their packs and most importantly their relationship as fated mates.Athena’s P.O.V
Dominic’s P.O.V“I hate formal”, I huffed as I get out the shower, I wipe my body down and style my hair a little combed over, too combed over is not my style. I put my cologne on and slip my crisp white shirt on and my black suit follows, I adjust my cufflinks and sleeves now for the tie. I have no idea why my mother picked out a blood red tie for me, maybe to celebrate the power the blood moon gave us last week, many of our young pack members shifted successfully under my leadership. I put my tie on and feeling satisfied I head down to the great hall, put on my mask, and start mingling with the guests that have already arrived. Just then the doors open and I feel Striker stir in me, the hairs on my skin rise giving me goosebumps as the most intoxicating scent hits my nose the smell of a woodsy scent mixed with a subtle hint of jasmine, my head snaps in the direction of the scent and I see the most beautiful sight, like the moon goddess herself has sent her own child down to the earth
Athena’s P.O.VThe time was approaching fast, my heart was beating faster, my palms sweaty, was I ready to see the man behind the mask? Was I ready to settle down? I had so many questions running through my head, I downed one glass of champagne after another. You see werewolves do not get drunk ever, however we have special “suppliers” to say the least that supply us with what we need for a party or any social even
Athena’s P.O.VI lay in bed and think to myself, it’s been 2 weeks and finally I can catch a break from all that training, who knew a new look on life and work in the middle-east would be so challenging, even if you’re not human. I look at the time and reply to Dominic’s messages…. Yeah, we still talk and his a total charmer but I still do not believe we are made for each other.
Dominic’s P.O.VIt has been two weeks and still no one knows where Athena left to and I have not stepped out of my study since, all her mother told me is that Athena is a free spirit and she is strong headed. She does what she wants when she wants and will not settle until she is satisfied and that I should leave her family alone regarding this matter. Those last words sent Striker and I over the edge and we would have destroy
Dominic’s P.O.VI woke up in the pack hospital, I could feel the cold needle in my arm… I could feel the bedsheet over my body, I tried opening my eyes, but I could not, I tried to listen with my super hearing but that was not working. I reach out to Striker and I hear his gruff voice come “Hey buddy, we’re wounded. It is going to take some time to heal…” he goes silent and I feel helpless. I keep fighting to open my eyes… nothing. I hear the doctor come in talking to my father, his voice gruff and I hear my mother’s sobs; I can hear that my father has not slept… maybe for days, weeks, how long have I been out for? “I don’t know if his wolf wil
Athena’s P.O.VAthena’s P.O.VAfter a nine long hour flight, I get off on home soil, I take a deep breath of the air around me and it does feel good to be home after so many months away. I get into an uber and go home. My mother is waiting for me and my father is away on pack business. I hug her and she fills me in on the current situation on our alliance with the Red Moon pack and things have not been the good at all, because of my stupidity! The fate of two packs and the life of their new crowned Alpha are on my shoulders. I step into the shower and let the boiling hot water wash over my body. I get out after I start to prune and change into a black high waisted jean, a Navy turtleneck, and my black suede heel ankle boots. I put light make up on and wear a nude gloss. I wear
