Chapter 27
Athena pov
The more time I spend with Loki the more I grow to hate the black rose pack. The things they did to his family. What broke my heart the most was that his father was Luna Allison’s brother. He wanted a relationship with his sister. He raised her like she was his after their parents died in an attack by the black rose.
They refused that relationship and denied Loki as part of the family. Brent had reached out looking for help getting away from alpha Apollo and the master once he found out their plans for him. They refused to help.
The journal did this odd thing. I was reading more about Nelly when it just skipped a bunch of pages. The new journal author is a girl by the name of Emily. She was from a small town inside the black rose territory. I believe the town and its people are an extension of the pack itself.
Emily starts by telling about how she found out she was a wolf. She had Ben adopted by a couple in town. They loved her dearly. On the night of her sixteenth birthday, they all were in for a shock. Emily had turned in her room. Her parents had not turned on her but helped keep it a secret. That was until she met William Samuels. It caused A problem in town as they all seem her shift. The town accepted her and the pack. Okay, so some of that was not in the journal. But I was able to learn more about her as humans keep records as well.
Looking out the window of the kitchen on the ground floor. I don’t know how to answer Williams's question. I know what’s at stake. Could I say yes to such a thing? And why does he need me to agree? His alpha order works on me even if it shouldn’t.
Sighing I go to pull the pies out of the oven. “oh Luna I am so sorry. I didn’t know you were here I was just coming to check the pies.” Mae one of the kitchen staff rushed out. “no worries I was just getting some water they smelled done so I started taking them out.” “thank you, Luna. Can I ask why you look so sad?” “you may ask but I’m afraid I won’t have an answer. It just seems to be one of those days?” see even if I wanted to tell someone about it I can’t I’m under command not to breathe a word.
Heading down to pick my pup up from his aunties I had need a break from everything. I’m pregnant with twins. And this is when he demands an answer. But how can I agree to such a betrayal? Could I live the rest of my life knowing I was turning a blinds eye to some horrible things. “those horrible things keep you living a very comfortable life does it not child?” the devil himself Ambrose sings out. How this skinny little man-child is the most powerful being to walk the earth is beyond me. But I found him in the dungeons one night. His horrible singing was driving me crazy. No one else could hear him and turns out it was because I was still fresh to the pack so his presence was still annoying to my wolf. A spell he cast in himself by accident many years ago. How many? Not even he will tell me how old he is or how long he was in the dungeons.
What I do know is he and William became fast friends. Like they already knew each other. So now this man-child is a trusted advisor to William. He still wears a silver and iron collar but he doesn’t seem to mind.
“What?” I scream. “the clothes you wear you like them?” “yes of course why?” “everything this pack is is because of everything that this pack does. Hell if it was not for Samuel and Edward I would still be terrorizing the world. So think hard and long before you say no. There has been one Luna to say no.” with that he’s dancing away whistling. What Luna said no?
“Good question my child what Luna said no?” a sweet voice fills my head. Looking around the world fades to a black void. Standing on not in nothing looking around. “hello?” “yes, my dear?” “where am I and who are you?” “dear Athena it’s good to see you are asking questions. Unfortunately the questions you have asked I can not answer.” “what do you mean?” “we are nowhere and everywhere I am no one and everyone. The questions you asked are just too vague to answer.” The voice echoes all around me.
“Why am I here?” “awe a question I can answer. So this is your question? You’ll not get another.” Thinking it over there are so many things I could ask but who knows if this is even real. Another dream. “yes what was I brought here?” “to see if you can see when you are blind.” “And?” “I think you know the answer. Maybe you’ll pass the next test goodbye.” And I feel like I am being shoved backward falling through an endless pit.
Hitting my bed hard I bounce back up on over landing on the cold stone floor. Getting up I storm out of my room and down to the secret room I now keep Loki. “who the fuck can steal you out of bed throw you into a dream then yank you out says something cryptic then throw you back in your bed?” I scream at the sleeping man in the painting.
Turning his head yawning before he answers me. “take a breath try that again only this time makes sense.” He sleepily replies. Growling I slam my hand on the table rocking his painting “okay okay fuck I’m awake what do you want.”
“I want to know how I can't be ripped from my bed taken to some kind of void and then thrown back on my bed?”
“that's impossible. You cant be summoned to a void and thrown out of one.”
