32. The box Athena was completely ready for the party. She was wearing a red gown which she customised herself. She bought that gown using the ten dollars
out of twenty which she earned yesterday. She earned sixty dollars today by working there but she didn’t
want to make any extra expenses and wanted to save money.
So, what she did is, bought a simple red gown from the thrift store. Then she bought some red chiffon
nets, some laces, red pearls, glue and a few more things.
Then she returned back home and started to customise it. It was a normal maxi gown with no cut, no
body fitting. It had lousy sleeves.
So, the first thing she did was get rid of those sleeves as she planned to make it sleeveless. Then she
gave it a long cut until her lower thigh and fitted it according to her perfect body figure. It has a
sweetheart neckline. So, she didn’t bother that much.
After that, she started to make it pretty. She implanted the pearls on the borders of the sleeves, neck and
cut on the leg. Then she attached the net over the cut, just at the place where the cut started from, she
didnt sew it completely. So, whenever she walks, it will move and her long legs will be visible. But at the
same time, as it was a see through net, her legs will still be visible when she doesn’t walk.
It was an absolute piece of art which she made from trash. She was looking absolutely stunning with the
beautiful magic Suzanne did on her face and hair. She was wearing red lipstick and her shiny long
golden blonde hair was curled and kept open.
She looked like an absolute goddess!
But none of that mattered to her as this night was really important for her. She had a lot to do today, so
she doesn’t have time to think about all this. Today she was going to face her past which was unaware of
all these years. At the same time her life was in danger tonight.
Her ex mate was going to mark another woman tonight while she still felt a connection with him. That
could have proved deadly for her. She almost died when he rejected her that day. If she hadn’t attacked
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim back and inflicted some pain which she was feeling on him as well, she was sure that she would
have died.
That’s how strong their connection was!
But she surely can’t attack him today as well as it looked like he still bore the rejection wound she gifted
him. It could result in his death as well as her death as well.
What a fucked up situation it was!
What she couldn’t understand was why the mate bond was still active after the rejection? She has to find
a way to get rid of it before the ritual and before he marks Stacey. She already thought of something,
hope it works before it’s too late.
I am not feeling well, Athena. I am feeling really weak and at the same time, I am feeling like something
bad is going to happen to us,’She heard her very strong wolf’s weak voice and it made her feel helpless
yet furious at the same time,
This is all happening because of Dominic! She is never going to forgive him if something happens to her
wolf today!
Keep on hanging. I will not let anything happen to you. We are strong. We both will come out stronger
out of this. I promise.” She promised with determination as she looked outside the deep forest.
She had been looking at it way too much, as if expecting something.
‘I believe you,’ saying that her wolf went to the back of her mind once again.
What a fascinating thing this mate bond is! It can be a lifesaver for some and at the same time a lifetaker
as well.
Suddenly her phone rang, which brought her out of the thoughts. She looked at the screen, expecting
Suzanne’s call. They are all at the party venue. The ritual starts in less than one hour.
She was still at Suzanne’s house while Ace was in the hall as well. She heard that he was wearing a
tuxedo and was very excited to see him in this. She was sure that he looked very cute and handsome in
that! Her heart wants to see him badly and shower him with kisses but her life was at stake here. She
was sure that Suzanne will take good care of him until she figures something out.
She looked at the phone in confusion when she saw an unknown number instead of Suzanne’s. Who
was i t? She frowned but nevertheless picked up the call.
“Hello?” She spoke up in a blank tone as it could be anyone.
“I am waiting for you in the back forest of the pack house. Come here soon and don’t forget to bring two
invitation cards. I am ready in suits to fill up the suit’s pocket.” She heard Robert’s voice and smirked.
“Sure. Wait for me.” She said with a smirk before walking out the mansion toward the back forest of the
pack house.
She soon reached there and found Robert standing behind a large tree. She looked at her left and at her
right before walking toward him with a satisfied smirk.
“Good to see you again, bitch.” Robert said with a smirk as soon as he saw her. Her smirk turned devilish
a s soon as he heard him.
He always used to call her bitch. She grew up hearing that from his mouth and every time she used to
hear that, her blood boiled in fury.
“Wish I could say the same about you, Robert. But I could say that I will make you regret calling me that.”
She said with a smirk.
“You always say that. Don’t you think it’s time for you to let go of that dream? Now don’t waste my time
anymore and come to business.” He said, getting serious.
“Right, so where is it? What is it that you wanted to give me?” She asked in desperation. Robert said that
h e had something of her past which will be enough for her to get to know about her past and he would
give her that today.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What’s the hurry? Give me the cards first.” He demanded with a forwarded hand.
“You will get your cards. But only after you give me what I want. Don’t you know me? I always keep my
words.” She said with her chin held high.
He frowned at her in hesitation. He knew that she always kept her words. He didn’t have much time to
bargain with her. So, he decided to go with her demand today and brought our a small box from his back
and forwarded it toward her,
“You will find everything here. Almost all your answers but the rest you will have to find yourself by
connecting the dots. The locket on your neck will help a lot as well.” He said while pointing at the locket o
n her shoulder. She looked down at it before looking at the box in her hands. She was nervous and
confused. She held her whole life in her hands. “Now it’s your turn. Give me the cards.” He demanded
with forwarded hands.
“About that…” She trailed off with a smirk, “Guards?” She called and his eyes widened when he saw two
guards coming out of nowhere and walking toward him with anger filled eyes.
“What the fuck is this, bitch?! You said you will keep your words!” He shouted as those guards caught
him before he could run.
“I did keep my words. Think again. I said I will make you pay for calling me bitch. I kept my word!” She
said with a smirk before turning around to leave.
“You, bitch! I will make you pay for this!” He shouted in anger while struggling to break free from the
hands of the guards. She turned around to look at him once again. Her smile was more sinister than the
last time.
“One more little piece of information. Shame on you for knowing me enough. I have been brought up by
you, you shouldn’t have trusted me.” She said with a smirk. “Now excuse me, I am getting late for the
party.” Saying that, she turned around to leave for Dominic’s house first to keep the box safe.
“Now it was time for the party, Athena. You can do this.” She whispered to herself, before walking inside
the party, with her head held high.
