Chapter

Forty

Athena stared at the two men who stood side by side next to their father, sheepishly looking at her and the others surrounding them. The only one who didn’t seem surprised by it all was Draco.

“But you shot Dana. You kidnapped me and allowed Rob to punch me.” Athena glared at Townie.

“Arrow knew what was coming. I had already talked to her about a plan while you were inside before Rob and his crew showed up. I went undercover in the Maplewood territory to find out who was helping them and see if we could find the missing serum. Draco was aware of the situation but not the extent of their plans. Even I wasn’t aware of some of their plans right off the bat.

What I found out was relayed as quickly as possible, when I could. ”

“But your last name and Hawk’s are different,” Leo pointed out, scratching his head before turning to glare at Draco.

“Don’t look at me. I didn’t know about it until just recently when Townie came to me with his plan.

That’s when I found out the truth about Townie and Hawk.

I didn’t know about Athena being related to them until the High Lord showed up and informed us himself.

” Draco glared back at Townie on that aspect.

“We changed our last names so that there would be no connection to our parents or other siblings should anyone try to look into us further. We assist our father with investigations into packs who go against the Council and their laws. Our father did it when his father was in power. Our children will probably do the same in the future as well.” Hawk smiled over at her, answering her question.

“W-what would you have done if they had tried to kill me before Draco could have gotten here as quickly as he did?” Athena threw out the one thing that seemed out of the way for her at the new revelations.

“I would have revealed myself as the High Lord’s son and that you were my sister and taken them out myself.

But I trusted Draco to get here as soon as he knew about Dana.

I wouldn’t have allowed anything to happen to you or my future niece or nephew.

Draco is damn good at what he did in the Army, which is why Hawk, and I petitioned to be on his team. ”

“But you were angry with Draco about Shades,” Athena pointed out, glaring at the man again.

“Ah, that. Yeah, um that was the story we were using to justify why I did what I did. In reality, she should have been gone from the team a long time ago. She was already under investigation for her ties to Roosevelt. Who is the biggest fucking dumbass on the planet.”

“Townie is also how I knew about the serum before you told me, my beautiful passionate mate.” Draco grinned down at her, pulling her into his arms.

“And you two are ok with being my brothers? Is it just the two of you?” Athena rushed out her questions, fear drumming itself up in her heart.

“There are three others. Two more brothers and a sister. I’m almost positive if Mom has her way, she’s already called them and let them know about you.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she and our sister arrive this afternoon once dear old Dad calls her and let’s her know you are safe.

” Hawk laughed, smacking their father on the back as he moved his position.

“So, what now?” Athena asked, looking around at everyone.

She had a hard time believing that the danger was really over. What did that mean with everything going on?

“Now, my mate, we live happily ever after. You get to know your father and his side of the family. We have as many pups as you want and have fun making them in the process.”

“I am standing right here, young man. That is my daughter you’re talking about,” Amari challenged Draco who could only laugh at the man’s mock anger.

“Yes, she is. She’s also my mate, sir. My true fated mate that the goddess saw fit to send my way when I said I never wanted one. I am grateful for the goddess for not listening to me.” Draco admitted, leaning down to kiss her lips.

“What’s to happen to my birth mother and brother?” Athena asked, looking over to where Delilah and Chris stood, glaring at her, surrounded by Blackwood enforcers.

“They will be taken into custody to answer for their crimes. Because they are your mother and your brother, I will consider giving them some leeway in their punishment,” Amari answered, leaning down to kiss her forehead.

“No. Don’t give them any. They never had any compassion for me.

Treat them how you would anyone else who has caused harm to those you love or are under your protection.

They were going to let Claude and Rob kill me just because I refused Rob’s claim to mate.

I am happy with my true mate. For once in my life, I now know what real love is.

When I have my child, and any other future children, I will show them the love that my own mother couldn’t show me.

That will be their punishment. I want nothing to do with either one of them. ”

Athena didn’t hesitate when Draco pulled her away from the group. When they returned home and cleaned up, she lay on the couch with Draco, breathing in his scent.

This was her happy place. This was her home.

When she looked up at the man who owned her heart, she saw that he was staring at her as if he could just eat her up.

“Mmm what big eyes you have.” Athena smirked up at him.

“So that I can see your beauty even when you don’t see it in yourself.”

“What big ears you have, Mr. Blackwood.”

“So that I can hear you screaming my name all night long, and even during the day, my love.”

“Mmm my what sexy lips you have, my dark wolf.” Athena licked her lips as she stared at him.

“So that I can eat you until you scream my name as you come all over my tongue, my mate.”

Athena did just that. She screamed and moaned his name all night, and well into the early morning light.

Thank goodness it was a weekend, because there was no way she would have been able to walk a straight line with the way Draco took her. Speaking in tongues was a new thing for her as she came hard and fast.

THE END!!!
