Chapter 51
Athena pov
After a few songs, I head back to the bar for a drink. A few men and women have come up to me but a shake of the head and they walk off. If more places were like this fewer assaults might happen.
Getting the bartender's attention “what can I get for you sugar?” A tall big breasted woman shouts. “cranberry and vodka no rocks” I think she rolled her eyes.
“Did you see Greg was here Sam?”
“Really dude. I haven’t seen him in well shit what’s it been.”
“A good sixteen or so years man. Where’s he been? He still here?”
“naw, he said some guys are here he would rather not bump into. He’s been staying at that small village at the base of the mountain.”
“Well, then I might need to see what that small village has to offer again.”
I swear I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop. This has to be the guy I have been looking for.
“I didn’t see his truck outside but being this close to the village I bet he just walked I know he was a fan of night blossom wine.”
The three giggle. Downing my drink I get up working my way slowly to the door. There is only one village close by and at the base of a mountain. It’s a mixed village of many different shifter races. They once had a small coven there according to the records. But with magic banned no one’s seen witches in wolf territories.
Walking out to the cool air. Shivering at the temperature change. I hadn’t known it was so warm inside. Waving to the big guy at the door as he winks. Shaking my head at his flirtiness. Getting to the car I slid in and head out down the room towards the black rose pack. The town was founded by Edward Skelm. From what I remember of the history of the black rose. The town has always been close to the pack works with the pack and trades with the pack. But the town and its people are not in the pack. They are rogues for one reason or another. Some pass through others staying and the rare occasion joins the black rose. How thy are so close without any problems still has me looking into their history.
Speeding down the road I see a figure down the road. Coming up I roll down the window the scent of rogue fills the air. Trying not to gag I offer him a ride. After a long stare, he nods. Getting in he buckles. “where too?” “just up the road to the sign hang left. And thanks it’s getting chilly out there. I’m Gregg..cough cough..sorry Grey smith.” he stammers.
“nice to meet you. I’m Athena wiiiliams so are you from around here?” he’s not gonna be honest nor will I. “yes and no long story that I don’t share with strangers.” “I can respect that. So what has you out in the middle of nowhere at this hour?” “my truck broke down and I had business down back that way.” Nodding I feel for anything that I could use. Finding a pole thing in the door pocket. Pulling it out slowly slipping it into my other hand.
Slamming on the brakes so he flings forward. Bringing the pole down on the back of his neck hearing a pop. His eyes close. Looking around. No one still. Flooring the gas peddle down spinning out as I speed down the road. Getting to the sign I turn right heading back the way I came. The sooner I get home the sooner I can get some answers.
Flying towards the gate I link as soon as I can. “open the gate have guards waiting at the garage” “yes alpha” several voices fills my head. Cutting the link I speed home. His head slammed against the window at each turn. I should be worried about him but I’m more concerned about the car.
Hitting the brakes the tires screech. Throwing open the door I see several guards coming through the door. “take him to the dungeons and make sure he’s okay. Tell me when he wakes up.” I order. Tossing the keys to whoever catches them I had to go change. When I don’t hear anything I turn to see them all standing there staring at me. “well” I growl. Jumping they nod and start rising about. “who is he alpha?” “a rogue.” I answer as I turn and leave.
Stopping by my secret room first “Loki I have good news. I found Gregory. He can’t talk right now but when he’s awake start questioning him.” “holy shit what.... where did you go?” “does it matter?” “no, I guess not. So you found him where is he?” “being taken to the dungeons. I am heading to my room for some sleep I just wanted to let you know your friends could be free soon.” “that is both good and bad news somehow.” Nodding I leave.
Once I shower I crawl into bed with a smile on my face. I will finally get some answers to a long list of questions I have been making in my head. Closing my eyes I pray to the goddess that I have normal dreams. Just as I was floating to dreamland a sudden breathtaking pain shoots through me. Searing pains pepper over my skin. My skin feels like it’s being ripped off. A slicing pain slowly runs down my chest. Screaming in pain I feel a sharp biting pain on my shoulder. My pussy is on fire and being ripped off at the same time. Feeling like I’m bleeding from every pore as my door flies open.
“Alpha,” “Athena” “Tina” my father a guard, and Sally yell as they rush through my door. Wanting to call for help but all I can do is scream. My father calls for a doctor. A bright light fills the room and then I’m covered in ice. Gasps are coming from everywhere as I take a deep cooling breath.
