49. Athena is a monster?
“Shh! Shh! Calm down, calm down. Everything is okay. Everything is alright. Calm down.” Dominic whispered in a soothing tone
as he pulled back from the kiss and pressed her head on his chest.
She was slowly calming down with the rhythm of his heartbeat. But she was still breathing hard but she was back from the
previous state which almost took Stacey’s life.
Her eyes widened as soon as she realised what was happening and she jerked away from him. She looked around in confusion
and a small panic settled inside her. But before it could consume her completely, he clutched her shoulders again and made her
look at him. He had a serious look on his face as he looked down at her intensely.
“Wh... what just happened? Wh... what’s going on?” She asked in shock and confusion. She could still feel the previous
changes in her body and it was scary for her.
“Nothing. Everything is fine. Don’t worry. Calm down.” Dominic said in an assuring tone but she wasn’t having it. She frowned at
him deeply and struggled to come out of his hold in anger. She was angry because he wasn’t believing her.
“L...let me tell y...you what was happening...” Stacey who was grasping for breath till now spoke up while coughing. Athena and
Dominic looked at her as she slowly got up from the ground while glaring at Athena.
“Stacey, leave now. We will talk later.” Dominic ordered in a cold tone but Stacey was too pissed off to.. pay heed to that.
“No! Dominic, she is a monster. Did you see? She was trying to kill me. She is a complete monster. If you hadn’t come at the
right time, she would have killed me. She is really dangerous for everyone, even for her son! Oh my goddess!” Stacey exclaimed
while breathing hard, as if she was experiencing that again. Athena looked at her in shock after hearing her.
“What are you talking about? Monster? Dangerous? I can never be dangerous to my son! He is my life.” Athena shouted,
suddenly feeling really scared, confused and messed up. Dominic glared at Stacey in annoyance and frustration.
“And you are going to be the one to take his life. You lost your wolf and got a monster instead and you don’t have any control
over it. God knows when you will lose control in front of your son and kill him. Monster!” Stacey shouted, shocking Athena
beyond limit. She couldn’t understand what was happening but at that moment, surprisingly, Stacey’s words were making a lot of
sense.
“Do... Dominic? What’s she saying? Am I a monster? Tell me. Am la monster? Dominic! I am a monster! I... I will ki...kill Ace!”
Athena shouted as she started to shake in panic.
“No, no! Athena! Listen to me! Don’t listen to her. You are not a monster. Nothing is going to happen to you or Ace. I am here. I
will not let anything happen to you both. Don’t listen to her. Listen to me. Okay?” Dominic made her look at him in the eyes as he
spoke to her with utmost seriousness. .
“Dominic, tell me something truthfully.” She demanded with teary eyes as he looked at him helplessly. Dominic clenched his jaw
seeing the look on her face. She looked so vulnerable at that moment that he felt like hugging her tightly and always kept her in
his safe embrace.
“Tell me, what is it?” Dominic asked instantly with a nod. He was a little desperate to soothe whatever pain she was in. He could
understand where she was coming from. The shock and panic was must after what happened.
“Did you see how I was when you came here? You saw how I was acting like a monster, right? How was la t that moment?”
Athena asked with teary eyes as she felt like curling into a ball whenever she remembers
that Dominic took a deep breath and gritted his teeth after hearing the question. Yes, he was what was happening. He saw
everything. From the beginning.
saw how she looked completely different and dangerous at that moment when she gripped Stacey’s neck with her sudden long
nails. He was astonished when he saw how powerful she got to raise Stacey from the ground using one hand.
She looked magnificent at that moment. He would never forget that scene ever. He was almost lost in that until he realised that
she was actually going to kill Stacey if he didn’t intervene at that moment. He didn’t know how to calm her down or break her free
from that daze other than using their mate bond. That’s why he kissed her and it actually worked.
“What are you asking him? Ask me! I will tell you! You looked like an absolute monster with your long nails and dangerous
canines. You had a dark shadow and smokey figure around you. And you were all set to kill me. Do you understand now? No
normal person could be like that, unless it’s a monster. Take my advice and stay away from Dominic and Ace. I am afraid that
you will change into a monster again and the next morning we will find Ace’s little body beside you.” Stacey shouted in a rude
tone and the only reason she was having this audacity is because Dominic was there. Otherwise she wouldn’t have dared to
mess with Athena again.
“I...... no... no... I am a monster....” Athena heard her and whispered while looking down. She started to take slow steps back
and before Dominic could stop her, she already ran away from there.
“Athena! Wait! Stop!” He shouted behind her and was going to run behind her when Stacey stopped her by holding his hand.
“Dominic, don’t leave me. I am scared. Did you see that she was going to kill me?” Stacey said in a fake scared tone which he
caught in a moment and glared at her.
“Stacey! I don’t want you to say another word! Did you hear me? Get the fuck out of this place right now.” Dominic at last used
his alpha tone and growled at her. She immediately dropped to the floor, submitting i n front of him.
“I am sorry, alpha.” She quickly apologised before running away as soon as possible, without looking back.
He let out a groan as soon as she left. Things were getting messier day by day. But right now he had to find his mate. With that
thought he closed his eyes and immediately got the scent of red roses coming into his nostrils, soothing his nerves.
And he knew exactly where she was. (So sorry for the short chapter! The next chapter is coming up in a few hours! Maybe in
