A Howl For Help

Athena's POV

The moon hung low in the sky, it's ethereal glow was cast on the grand halls of Veridonia King Adalwolf, a strong figure with piercing blue eyes and a great crown of midnight black, sat upon his throne, with his gaze intensely fixed on the woman who kneel before him. Queen Athena, a woman with cascading silver hair that flowed like waterfall around her shoulders. She fidgeted as she kneeled infront of her husband. 

"I beg of you Adalwolf," I pleaded with tears dripping down my cheeks my voice ladened with desperation. "Do not take my girl from me. Luna is my only child, I suffered a great deal to give birth to her and she's my only child." 

The stern expression on Adalwolf's face remained unchanged as he stared in my face. "Veridonia only needs a male heir, a strong male heir not a weak useless omega girl like Luna. A strong boy who would continue in my footsteps and take this kingdom to greater height." 

Tears continues gushing from my eyes as I continued begging "But she's still young who knows how strong she'll become when she grows older, please give her more time." I said while pleading.

Adalwolf rose from his throne I came near me towering over me. "Athena, strength isn't the only criteria to lead our pack. The wilderness of our kingdom calls for a strong werewolf, both physically and mentally, a ruler who will command respect from the beasts that roam our lands and also protect our kingdom from external attacks of other kingdom's pack." He said with a strong tone that didn't waver no matter how many drops dropped from my eyes.

My heart shattered as those words that came out Adalwolf mouth he didn't have any affection for his daughter all he wanted was to protect his power and keep his position as the supreme leader of the pack.

"Please Adalwolf," my voice quivered, "then you'll have to let me go with her, I can't leave my precious daughter stranded in the wilderness by herself." My voice laced with a resolved determination. I couldn't let my daughter suffer in the wilderness alone I must be there to help her atleast be her guide through life, she was the only one I could risk my life for.

Adalwolf's gaze unwavering and he suddenly burst into laughter "of what are use are you??, All I asked of you was a male heir and since you couldn't get one for me you can leave. There's no need for permission to leave" he said blatantly without remorse.

With a dry face and silent tears stiring down my cheeks I had accepted my fate. I turned my gaze away and turned it around towards Luna who was playing in the corner of the hall. She looked so innocent and wasn't even aware of the development that took place in her life a separation that would shape her life. A smile crept to my lips as I dragged my feet near Luna, she was chasing her shadow across the marble floor.

As the guards approached, I ran to pick her up, the smile on her face warmed my heart as I picked her up her beautiful face and beautiful skin made my heart race a tears dropped from my eyes. "My dear luna, you're destined for greatness." I said while placing a subtle kiss on her forehead. 

With my gaze going steering towards Adalwolf a last glance at the once sweet mate I decided to give my whole life to but he changed once he attracted power.

I left the abode with a heavy heart but with a happy soul because, my baby was in my arms.
