Chapter 28 Athena's Pov

• My heart kept pounding no matter how hard I tried to calm it. It's like different types of drums were being beaten, everywhere was spinning. I felt like I was in another dimension. Cold sweat broke out on my face as my hands kept on trembling. I was terrified. Anyone who saw me now would wonder what was wrong with me. I know that I was as pale as a ghost, my eyes roaming around like a criminal who was caught during a heinous act. Even Jeremy was giving me an odd look as he wondered what the hell was wrong with me. Or why I stiffened or why I stopped kneading the dough? I could tell he was confused with the way his eyes kept darting left and right but Jeremy was not my problem. I had a bigger dilemma. Why was Alpha Jackson calling me? His tone was not friendly at all. This was not a call that he normally does to chat with me or to find out how I am fearing or to even know if my prescription from the Pack doctor was finished.
• There was something off with his voice and I was dreading to find out the reason why he called me. I know that if I spend any more time down here without going upstairs to answer him, he would have to come down here and it will not be nice for me. I always wanted to please Jackson, I never wanted to disappoint him but I was so scared because I did not know what awaited me behind the door.
• Could it be that he found out about what I have been doing? But this is my life and I have to exact revenge on the people that wronged me. I know that he gave me a strong warning after Lucy told him about the man that I killed brutally. He wasn't really happy about getting such a report but I did not care. He made me promise him not to do that again but I kept my fingers crossed behind me because I knew that I could not keep such promises. If Alpha Jackson find out that I have been looking for that man, he will be so angry and disappointed in me because I was putting myself in harm's way. But I have told him many times that I am no longer a little girl, a helpless wolf at that, I will have to fight for my freedom and others' freedom because I know that he didn't end with me. I just have to be smart about my movements and find out what they are up to.
