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
I keep checking my emails religiously every day, alas no reply from the company abroad that I applied to work at. It’s been almost two weeks and nothing. Mom has been giving more of the pack work to handle and training and building the strength of our pack has become my priority. Tonight, is the party and crowning ceremony of Alpha Dominic Thunders and I’m still not sure what I will be wearing. “That just about does it”, I get up and leave the pack office and head to the pack house to meet Tessa, we have been best friends ever since I can remember and recently found her mate Ashlin and I can’t help but adore the way he treats her. I brush of the feeling of loneliness that wants to creep up and squeeze my heart. I walk freely into her room and find her all dressed and waiting for me, “You’re always early! I am so glad I have learnt that about you and get ready at least fifteen minutes before you get here”. “Oh stop being such a cry baby Tess” I giggle, “We need to go shopping for a dress for me to wear tonight.” She wiggles her eyebrows at me, I push her off the bed and we get into my car and drive. The drive in my Audi sport is smooth and comfortable the bright red gets the attention of any onlooker. Tessa blabs on about her and Ashlin and I am truly happy for her. I park the car and I know this is going to be one quick shopping spree. Shop after shop we enter and we stop dog tired and I have found nothing for the ceremony tonight. “Tess I am so fed up!”, She laughs at me and teases me “Its just a fling. Right” I hear her mocking tone and I glare at her. I stop and lean back in my chair, her question nagging in my head, from the corner of my eye I see a little boutique Vasilissa Botique the Greek word for “Queen Boutique”, I am drawn to the shop and Tessa follows me and I find the perfect dress, it exudes the word royalty it was a blood red dress V- neck front, off shoulder mermaid fitting dress with a train it was plain and simple and yet something about the dress spoke to me. I tried it on. I look up and hear Tess catch her breath “Athena you look like the queen of queens! YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS ONE!!!” I rush and shush her giggling and I head to the counter to pay for it after picking up a pair of black heel sandals.
I get home and shower up Tess ran home to get her hair straightener and promised to help me get dressed for the ball I find a mask on my bed and it matches the dress perfectly. I head into the shower and let the water run over my body, I take my raspberry body wash, after a good half an hour I step out and dry my body and put my favorite songs play and I sing along and do my skin care routine. I step out dancing and singing and stop when I notice a figure in my room I clutch my towel and get ready to strike at the person and then a familiar voice breaks out singing one of our favs “Meant to be it will be, it will be, baby just let be!!” we fall on the bed laughing. She then forces me up and I start applying my make up while she straightens my hair, I apply my powder and eyeliner with a small wing, I apply a little highlighter just to highlight my features I apply black liner to the bottom lid of my eye and apply mascara my eye make up brings out my dark brown big eyes, Tessa uses hair spray on my hair and we slick it back to and use black hair pins giving it the slick wet hair look and I clip on my ear cuff that look like wings with a diamond drop to finish of the look. I slip on my dress and it hugs all my curves amazingly. I slip my shoes on and head down to leave with the parentals. I wink at Tess spray a bit of perfume and walk down; my parents smile in approval and we leave.
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
Athena’s P.O.VIt had been a month of going up and down to Dominic’s house, I can see him holding himself back… Small brushes across my hand when I served his meal, standing behind me while I was busy clearing up the dining table so I could feel his hard dick rub against my ass… My god he turned me on so much by teasing me! One morning I was cleaning up the kitchen and dining hall with the omega’s and I suddenly felt two strong arms wrap around my waist and by the tingles and light sparks I knew it was Dominic, he turned me around and kisses me on my lips.
Athena’s P.O.VI stared out the window and at some during the drive with Dominic I fell asleep. I woke up when the car came to a stop and I looked out to see a cosy double story cabin in the middle of the woods; I looked at Dominic, I was sleepy and in no mood to fight and bitch about. “Have you brought me to the scene of my murder?” I couldn’t help but see him wince and the word “Murder”
