"How are you Athena?" Suzanne asked in a caring tone while getting inside the living room.

Patricia followed beside her and they sat on both sides of her.

"Not very good." Athena replied with a sigh while leaning on Suzanne’s shoulder and holding Patricia’s

hands.

They both gave her a worried look.

Patricia squeezed her hands in an assuring way while Suzanne rubbed her back.

They were worried for her.

"What happened? Are you okay? Is Dominic okay? Is everything okay?" Suzanne asked in a really

worried tone, making Athena smile in gratitude.

Suzanne gets worried for her very easily.

"Dominic is still the same.Showing no progress at all.And about me, my wolf just returned after

months.It’s getting restless for a run.But we can’t go on a run with the things going on.It’s really

stressful."

Athena explained with a sigh, making them frown at her

"Why not?" Patricia asked with a small frown, trying to look for the reason why she couldn’t go for a

run.

"Dominic is not well.I can’t leave him alone here.On the other hand, There is so much to do.So much

work left to do which I am having a hard time handling.Also, Justin doesn’t want anyone to go far for a

run but I know my wolf, it’s not going to stop until it crosses limits." Athena answered with a frown while

pushing her whiny wolf at the back of her mind again.

As much as she loves her wolf, it annoys the hell out of her sometimes.

"I am so sorry, Athy.Things are going so hard for you.I wish we could help."

Suzanne said in a sad tone but the fact that she couldn’t do anything to help her was making her even

sadder.

Athena said and pulled herself away from Suzanne’s arm and looked at her with a small sigh.

A small smile was shining at the tip of her lips.

She held both of their hands and gave it a little squeeze.

"It’s okay.Your support is what I need."

She said as her smile got bigger when they both hugged her from the side.She let out a chuckle and

playfully pushed them away.

"Okay, now, let’s come to the main business now.Did you guys find anything?" She asked, suddenly

getting serious, making them serious as well.

"Well, not only a thing."

Patricia grinned ear to ear while sounding very excited, making Athena look at her with a raised

eyebrow.

"We found a lot of things."

Suzanne exclaimed back with a smirk as well, completing the sentence for Patricia.

Athena turned to look at her with the same expression which she gave Patricia

"You guys sound so confident today.What did you find and why are you so confident?" She asked in

confusion, their excitement for some reason got her excited as well.

They couldn’t concentrate on the matter from the past one week because of everything that was

happening.

But today things were less rough so Athena decided to concentrate on the matter again and after what

she saw two days ago, she couldn’t stop herself from thinking about it.

"Well the reason for our confidence is your wolf.You wolf made it very easy for us to figure out

everything." Suzanne asked with a serious look on her face.

She was making points in head which she was going to present to her.

Athena’s face went blank after hearing her and she went a little cold.

"What do you mean by everything? Do you know what significance the word everything holds?" She

asked with a clenched jaw.

She wasn’t angry with them.She was just a little frustrated and helpless that she couldn’t get things

easily.She always has to work hard

"Okay, sorry.Not everything.But a lot of things for sure." Patricia said, while correcting Suzanne’s words

on her behalf.

"And what are they?"

Athena took a deep breath before asking.

She looked at them with a raised eyebrow, waiting to hear what they got

"Well, let’s give your precious things back to you first." Suzanne said with a giggle while they both

brought out the things from their bag

"Here’s the symbol and papers." Patricia said while handling them to her which she took with great care

before turning toward Suzanne.

"And here’s the crown." Suzanne said while handling the crown with a small frown which Athena didn’t

notice as she was busy in taking that with the greatest care.

"What did you find? And how did my wolf help?"

She asked with a confused frown, she was unable to understand how her wolf was connected with her

past when there wasn’t any sign of her wolf

"Well, after your wolf shifted, we got to know that it’s a red wolf.From a book we found that that red wolf

represents fire.Red wolf has the power of fire I don’t know if they woke for you yet or not." Suzanne

said with a confused frown while waiting for Athena to give her confirmation

"Uhmm..No, I don’t feel any different or… powerful, you know?"

Athena replied in confusion while trying to remember if she felt any different.

But she didn’t notice anything.

"That means they haven’t woken up yet."

Patricia said with a small nod and Suzanne nodded back in agreement, "Okay, what else?"

Athena asked, pushing the topic aside for a moment.

And concentrated back on other things.

"One thing leads to another, and I have found that the symbol means fire as well.I didn’t find anything

else about the signs.Did you find anything in the book?"

Patricia asked while pointing at the papers which had a few signs which meant fire in different ancestry

language.

Athena put on a blank face as soon as she heard them and looked at them with a blank face as well,

which didn’t give away much.

"I did find something but I will tell you later.First tell me what did you find about the crown?" Athena

asked, shifting the conversation to Suzanne now.

Suzanne’s expression changed to cold and distant as soon as she heard the question directed toward

her.

Athena frowned seeing the change of expression on her face.

"Oh right, about the ruby stone.Every region has a special coloured ruby stone to represent

themselves.And the red ruby is for the south region.But the question is, such ruby’s are very expensive

and important things.What is it doing to you?"

Suzanne asked with a frown, her tone held a certain amount of anger which Athena couldn’t point out

why.

"Also, why didn’t your foster father sell it? He could have done that and been really rich." Patricia spoke

up in confusion, earning a sigh from Suzanne.

"Well, you can’t just sell such representative ruby to anyone, Patricia.He would easily get caught.Such

things aren’t for sale."

Suzanne explained and Patricia nodded at her after she understood it.

Athena didn’t say anything about it.She planned to have another meeting with her foster father once

again

"So, we found two things.Fire and red, right?" Athena asked with a frown and they both nodded at her.

"Yes." They answered at the same time.

"Now tell us, what did you find?" Suzanne asked with a frown, she sounded eager to know what she

found out.

"In the book, I found the tattoo on my waist." Athena said while mentioning about the book Patricia

gave her the previous day.

"What did it say?" Patricia asked, sounding really interested.

But on the other hand, Suzanne didn’t sound anything near that but it seemed like her mood was

getting lower every passing seconds.

"The sign stands for…" Athena stopped and created a little suspense before exclaiming that loudly.

"SOUTH."

"What?!"

Before anyone could understand anything, Suzanne shouted out loud while looking at Athena with a

deep frown Athena looked back at her with a similar frown, unable to understand the reason for her

such expression, "Yes, and girls, I found something else as well."Athena said with a grin, making them

frown at her while she ignored Suzanne’s weird expression.

She didn’t want to think of anything else at that moment.

"What is it?" Suzanne asked with a frown.

Her tone was getting less and less warmer every second.

"The letter ‘N’ was tattooed on Dominic’s waist.That tattoo is the same as the sign in the book."

Athena exclaimed with widened eyes, ready to get some reaction from their friends.

She found the tattoo two days ago when she was changing his shirt.

She changed his shirt before as well but as it was really hard for her to do it alone, she didn’t notice it

before as she was struggling with his weight.

"What are you trying to say, Athena?" Suzanne asked, her tone was getting cold and colder.

"I am not trying to say anything, Suzanne.I am not pointing out the odds.Dominic is the leader of the

North region and he has the symbol ‘N’ tattooed on him.What’s my relation with the south region? Why

do I have this?! These questions are making me go crazy"

Athena exclaimed in frustration while throwing her hands up in the air.She didn’t know what to do or

what not to do at that moment.

"No! You can’t have any relation with the south region! You just can’t! Did you hear me?"

Suzanne screeched out loudly while looking at Athena angrily.

Athena couldn’t stop herself from frowning anymore and she stood up as well.

"Suzy? What’s wrong? Why are you reacting like this?" She asked with a frown, unable to handle

Suzanne’s different and odd behaviour anymore.

It was getting too much for her.

She was already going through so much, she didn’t need her best friend to act like that now

"Yeah, it’s not proven yet if she has any relation with them or not.And what’s wrong with her having any

relation with them?" Patricia spoke up in Athena’s defence while looking very confused as well.

She couldn’t understand what was wrong with Suzanne suddenly as she didn’t notice anything before.

"They are the worst! I don’t want Athena to have any connections with them.Let’s just do one thing."

Suzanne suddenly exclaimed while looking at her hopefully.

She looked as if she just solved a very big mystery.

Athena and Patricia shared a confused look before looking back at her.

"What is it?" Athena asked with a frown.

She knew even before Suzanne said anything that she wasn’t going to like it.

"Just stop finding your identity." Suzanne said in a dead serious tone while looking at Athena, waiting

for her approval but no way i n hell Athena was going to agree to that.

"What?? Suzy! What are you saying? We have come so far and you want me to stop looking for my

identity? Why??" Athena exclaimed in disagreement while taking a defensive step back from Suzanne.

Suzanne noticed that and she didn’t like that at all.

"What’s the point of finding it now? Also, if you are connected with the south, they are our enemy.For

them Dominic is in this condition.You can’t forget that."

Suzanne exclaimed in a mean tone and Athena looked at her in disbelief as she understood what

Suzanne was trying to do at that moment.

She was trying to guilt trip her and Athena couldn’t believe that Suzanne would try this.

For why??

"She is not forgetting anything, Suzanne.Think this way, if she really has some special connection with

the South, she can help us sort out the problems with them.She can stop the possible war.We can’t

stop our mission now."

Patricia spoke up in a calm tone, trying to make sense.

She was trying to make Suzanne see the possible benefits of finding Athena’s identity.

Her words seemed to anger Suzanne more than making her understand.

She gave them a blank and cold look.

"Fine, do whatever you want! I just don’t want to be part of this anymore.Good luck!"

She snapped at them before turning around to leave without letting them say anything.

Athena was too shocked to say anything at that moment but it was too late by the time she came out of

the shock.

"Suzy, wait! Suzy! Suzanne!"

She shouted behind her but Suzanne was already out of the mansion with the intention of not turning

back again

"What’s wrong with her?" Patricia asked with a confused frown.

She had never seen her act like this before.

Even Athena never saw her act like this before.

"I don’t know." Athena replied in a low tone, trying to make sense of what the hell just happened.

"It’s okay.She might have fought with Nathan.Don’t let this get on your nerves, okay?"

Patricia said in an assuring tone and Athena just slowly nodded at her.

"Hmm." She said with a sigh and Patricia gave her a worried look.

She didn’t want to stress her more and let her have some alone time.

"Okay, I will take your leave now.Take care and don’t worry about it much." She said in a soft tone and

Athena nodded at her mood was still off.

"Take care."

"Please, let’s stay a little longer"Athena’s wolf whined as she kept running with the air, without paying

heed to Athena’s word.Athena at last decided to go for a walk after making a deal with her wolf that

they will roam around near and not go far.But the sassy bitch broke the deal after Athena gave her the

control over them.

Now she didn’t know where they were heading to.

‘No, we need to return soon.Dominic and Ace are alone there.We can’t roam around like this and

create some more trouble than we already have"

Athena snapped at her wolf while fighting to get the control back but she wasn’t fighting hard enough

which is why she still couldn’t get it.

For some reason, she was feeling a pull toward the way they were heading to and she didn’t want to

stop until they reached the leave

‘Nothing will happen.Just a little bit more"

Her wolf kept running faster than ever, not listening to her at all.

‘It’s not the time for us to stroll around.Stop and let’s go back"

She snapped at her, getting angry and scared as she examined their surroundings, they were definitely

heading toward the danger.She wasn’t liking the chill she was feeling.She was feeling paranoid A little

bit more.I want to check something"

Her wolf’s voice sounded in a daze now, making her worry some more.

Why does she sound like this? Was something wrong with her wolf?

‘Check what? Where are we going? Don’t misuse the chance of me giving you the control"

She threatened while trying to fight back for the control over again but this time Athena didn’t stand the

chance in front of her wolf because the more they went closer to their destination, the more powerful

her wolf was getting.

Where is this destination?! And why was she feeling so different suddenly? She was feeling a lot

powerful.

The overpowering feeling was making her suffocate.I am not misusing it.I am just feeling a pull over a

place and I want to check it out.For some reason I think it’s going to benefit both of us"

Her wolf growled and the growl sounded very different as well.

Something was definitely wrong.

‘Where’s this place? We can’t cross our borders" She said, sounding frantic to stop themselves.

But her wolf was suddenly sounding really confident.

That confidence relaxed her a little bit.

‘Don’t worry, we are not going to cross it’her wolf said as it slowly started to decrease its speed.She

also felt like they reached the place they were trying to reach.

‘Would you please tell me where it is?’ She asked, still unable to locate their surroundings even though

it looked very familiar to her

‘We reached’

Her wolf suddenly spoke up in a very excited tone, making her confused and the next moment she

raised her head, she got a shock

"The centre! The lava mountain! What are we doing here?’ She screeched out loudly, suddenly scared

again.

The lava mountain and the lake was the centre of the regions.

The calm lake was just beside the lava mountain, ever so calm like ever.

‘I don’t know.It was calling me.Wanna try something with me?’ Her wolf sounded excited and her

excitement wasn’t giving her a nice vibe yet at the same time it excited her as well.

She wanted to check out whatever she wanted.

‘What?’ She asked with a small frown.

‘You already know we have the power to control the fire.Wanna try it?’ Her wolf asked with a smirk,

making her eyes widened in fear and anxiety.

But she still felt goosebumps even at the thought of trying her powers out.

‘How?’ She asked slowly and waited for an answer but her wolf didn’t answer her.

Instead out of nowhere, it suddenly howled out loud, making the whole area shake.

But it was after a few seconds that she realised it wasn’t her howl which shook the ground, it was the

volcano.

The volcano erupted along with her.

To check it, she growled out once again and the volcano made a growling sound just after her as if

following her command.

‘Oh my god, what the hell was that?!’ She asked her wolf shock and disbelief but she could get a reply,

a voice from the back got their attention.

"Are you trying to misuse your power and bum us all or what?!"
