Chapter 92
Athena pov
Blinking away the sleep from my eyes. The morning light filled my room. Stretching the soft sheets slid against my skin. Looking up at not my ceiling. Gasping I shoot up causing my head to spin. The back of my head was sore and achy. Looking around at the plain room. There are several doors one out, a closet, and a bathroom I assume. Then a set of French doors with sheer black curtains filtered out the light. Jumping up I run to the doors throwing them open to see a small balcony hanging over a cliff.
Backing back in the room I’m not afraid of heights but I’m well that was really far down. My bladder started to scream at me. Opening the first door no it’s the closet. Opening the second door jackpot. Flipping the light on and walking in I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Gasping I yelp out in surprise. Pale skin really pale blue eyes white blonde hair. Following down my face to my neck a golden wolf covered in snowflakes with red shadows. The panic rises as I follow lower to my chest there standing out is what looks to be an ice sculpture of a rose with a red core. The edges of the rose bleeding to black.
I know this face. I know this body. Then I’m slipping back into the back of my mind now watching as things start to unfold.
Shaking my head I relieve myself. A knock on the door grabs my attention. Walking out to confront whoever has taken me. “do you know the trouble yo….alpha?” stopping dead in the middle of talking or moving. Standing by the door with a smirk on his face is alpha Philip. “what did we say about that Lune?” balking at his words. Chuckling “yep that’s what it feels like. How’s your head?” “what the hell? Wait where am I? How did I get here? Why am I here?” shooting off questions as soon as they form in my head. Holding his hands up in surrender.
“Okay slow down we have some time. The crimson river rogues just kinda made getting you here easier. We have been trying to find a way to get you away from the pack for a little bit.” He tells me as he crosses the room to the open French doors. “where are you? Well your at what we call the black site. Much like the pack house, this is built up inside a mountain. At the base is where Edward and his small pack of rogues first found refuge. During the hunt for well Ambrose. The she-wolves stayed hidden inside this mountain. We are just outside the border for the pack.” Looking back at me smiling.
Nodding letting him know I’m following along. Enny had told me the story of the birth of the black rose. And I have read the journals. “my father told me about this side of our pack after Hermes was born. I had planned to wait until your first pup. But we’ll my head of security demanded he finishes your training. And we’ll…” “finally your punk ass is awake.” The deep hoarse voice of Michael comes from behind me. Turning around he’s holding a tiny version of himself. The bright red hair and moss green eyes brightly looked around. His pink chubby cheeks puffed out with his toothless drooling grin.
“you had a boy. What is the prince's name?” heading to steal this tiny wonder from his father’s hands. “this is Micha Philip black. And this my tiny terror is your uncle Kai. If anything ever happened to me he’s the man you go find” “think he’s a little young still dork.” Jaz giggles as she glides into the room wrapping her arms around me. “so good to see you. How’s everyone back home? How is fallen?” Jaz rushes.
“she is grumpy very grumpy, but also she’s excited. Everyone else is great. Wondering where you two disappeared to.” “well, when ill called and told us to meet him. We did then I had our monster who looks nothing like me.” “he does I see you in him. His smile the way his eyes light up when he sees you is the same way yours lights up when you look at Michael.” I tell her watching as she blushes. “dude it’s a good thing I know you have a mate your head over heels about. Or we would be fighting. Trying to steal my mate.” He grumbles. As the room breaks out in full belly laughs.
“Why am I here?” “you still have the training to do. I know that you are surrounded by great warriors but they are not me. So I told Phil that I wanted you to be brought here to finish training. The last time we spared in wolves you somehow shrunk to the size of a fox. Not a shifter fox but an actual fox. And that my boy is a gift we need to figure out learn and train in.” “I thought that was a well I don’t know what it was I had never done it before or since.” “I may have done a little asking about regarding such a thing. And the only answer any of us could think of is Ambrose. Be did something to your bloodline long ago. He’s looking through his journals looking for an answer.” Shaking my head in disbelief. This would be the first I’ve ever heard of it.
“Wouldn’t surprise me. That old coot probably forgot so it’s gonna be a learning curve for us all .” Tyler booms as he walks into the room. “um so back at the rodeo when you all vanished this is where you went?” “guilty.” Hunter smiles holding a wiggling little pup. “Phil this one caused the crystal to glow. So is she b1 or au0-3.?” Handing the small she-wolf to Phil. Looking her over he starts to frown. “b2 to p3 plan. Do we have the same pairing set up again I want another try at them throwing the right one I’m sure they are the right pair?” Hunter nods as he takes the pup back.
“Put a note to reevaluate at four the flaws could be just a time thing,” Phil says as I stare at the exchange.
