Hiding His Baby The Alpha’s Rejected Mate

Chapter 56

56. The ladies’ plan IN DOMINIC’S BED ROOM
“I am sorry, Suzy. I wanted to tell you before doing anything. I even looked for you everywhere but you didn’t tell me you went out. I needed to go to the basement immediately and when everyone was busy, that was the perfect time to do that. I didn’t want to lose that opportunity.” Athena quickly explained herself to Suzanne as Patricia sat there silently. She didn’t want to come between two best friends though she knew she belonged to that group as well now.
“I am letting it slide for the last time but I have two conditions.” Suzanne spoke up in a serious tone. Patricia and Athena shared a look before looking back at her with a frown..
“What are they?” She asked in confusion, thinking of the things Suzanne might demand for.
“First, you are going to tell us everything. Why did you go there, what you found out till now, what you have been doing. Everything. And secondly, you are going to tell us everything you do from now on. Include us i n everything. We are friends and we want to be beside you in your hard time. Because you need to understand that you can’t solve everything on your own.” Suzanne said in a strict tone and Patricia immediately nodded after her. Because her words made a lot of sense which Athena needed.
Athena let out a sigh after hearing her. She could understand what Suzanne was trying to say. But can she actually abide by it word by word?
“Listen to me, girls. First of all, I am very grateful to have you guys in my life. Secondly, you should know b y now that my life is more fucked up than anyone can imagine. Every stage of my life holds nothing but danger, in every step. So, at the end, what I am trying to say is, I promise to share everything with you unless it’s something dangerous for you. I will never do anything which can put you both or anyone closet o me in danger. I don’t want to hear any argument about that. Now, you decide if you are into it or not.” Athena said in a serious tone and gave them some time to think and decide.
Suzanne and Patricia shared a small look and they immediately knew their answers. They had a look of determination in their eyes as they looked back at her.
“We are in it. Because we are friends.” Suzanne said in a serious tone.
“And what kind of friends we would be if we leave everything on you to share. We promise to be careful enough to notice things which you won’t be able to share with us.” Patricia added after Suzanne and they both nodded at her. Athena looked at them with a smile and her eyes got teary in gratefulness.
“So, let’s make a promise today.” Athena said with a big smile before forwarding her hand toward them.” Let’s make a promise to our friendship that we will never let it break. No matter what.” She said and they immediately kept their hands above hers.
“That’s a promise!”
“That’s a promise!”
They both exclaimed out loudly at the same time. They three ended up hugging each other after that. They pulled back after a few seconds and sat on the bed into silence.
“Okay, so let’s start now. Tell us everything. From the beginning.” Suzanne demanded, suddenly getting serious, Patricia also got serious as she gave her attention to Athena. Athena closed her eyes and let out a sigh. She gave herself a moment before looking back at them.
“The person I went to meet in the basement is my father.” She said mistakenly, out of habit but before they could react out loud. She quickly realised what she did. “Foster father! Foster father, I mean. Not my real father.” She quickly corrected herself.
“Gosh! You gave me a heart attack there for a second.” Patricia let out a sigh of relief and Suzanne seemed to be in the same state as her.
“Sorry, I said that out of habit. So, what I was saying is. He is someone who brought me up after finding m e by the end of the forest when I was hardly two or three years old.” She said while looking down, as the realisation started to hit back again.
“Oh my!”
“I am so sorry, sweetie!”
They both exclaimed in sadness and held her hand tightly to provide her support.

“His name is Robert. He is a filthy and sneaky rogue who lives by stealing things from people. He is a very big pocket picker. And I grew up with him, so you can imagine how I was growing up.” She let out a sigh and gave them some time to get things inside their head.
“So… SO… Please don’t take my word offensively but you…. Were you a pocket picker?” Patricia asked in astonishment with widened eyes. Athena chuckled hearing her.
“Not any normal pocket picker, I was given the title ‘the queen of pocket picking’ for my excellent performance.” Athena joked and they both looked at her in shock.
“Whoa! Really?!”
“That’s so cool!”
They both exclaimed at the same time.
“I know right! It was actually really cool and no one could beat me in my job. I was the best at that. I think I really stood up for the meaning of my name in that case.” She joked with a small chuckle.
“What’s the meaning of your name?” Patricia asked.
“Athena means goddess of wisdom. But Athy, you are not only smart in that but everything.” Suzanne spoke up with a serious look on her face. Athena smiled hearing her.
“Thanks, Suzy.”
“Is that why Dominic called you a thief?” Patricia spoke up with a frown as he remembered him calling her a thief in her initial days here. Though it changed a lot now and Dominic sobered up a lot as well but she clearly remembers him calling Athena that.
Athena frowned hearing the question as well. Because she wondered the same. She didn’t have the answer to that question. Dominic was always accused of stealing something from her but she never gott o know what.
“Well, Patricia, trust me. You are not the only one who is looking for that answer. I am equally confused. I don’t know why he calls me that. But let’s not bring that up now.” Athena said with a frown and they both nodded at her.
“Yeah, so I spent most of my life doing what I was taught to do while knowing that Robert was my father. But a few years back, I slowly started to figure out that it wasn’t the truth. He wasn’t my father. But I still stayed with him, pretending to know nothing while looking for the truth until…. Until I met Dominic and people and things got so messed up and even before I could understand anything, I found myself in the basement or shadow eclipse pack, Robert sold me to Derrick.” She fumed in anger as she told them about the disgusting thing and they both were equally angry.
“That piece of shit!”
“I would kill him!”
They both exclaimed at the same time yet again.
“Well, trust me, I am equally angry with him and that’s the reason I got him stuck there. So that I can go to him whenever I need any answer without taking the trouble to look for him. At the same time as he was stuck there, he didn’t have any options other than answering me.” She said with a smirk, proud of her plan.
“You stuck him there? How?” Patricia asked in confusion. Athena smirked again hearing that. Then she told them about her ‘master plan’ on how she trapped him and they were shocked would be an understatement.
“Oh my, Athy! You are so smart! Damn!” Patricia laughed out loud while praising Athena.
“That was actually brilliant but I still couldn’t understand why you endured so much in that shit hole called shadow eclipse pack for all those years? I always tell you to get out of that damn thing but you never listen!” Suzanne snapped with a frown.
“Well, it’s not important at all. I was just too tired at that time to fight anymore at that time and I couldn’t have managed to go too far with Ace but whatever. That’s not important.” She said with a sigh and Suzanne nodded at her, understanding what she was talking about..!
“Okay, but why did you go to meet Robert today?” Patricia asked with a frown.
“That’s because I wanted to make sense of a few things that I got from the box that he gave me that night. ” Athena said with a sigh as the mystery was killing her.
“What are the things? Show us. Maybe we can help?” Suzanne offered and Patricia nodded, agreeing with her.
“Wait a second.” Athena said before opening the button of her shirt and the things fell out.
She was hiding the things underneath her shirt which was tucked inside her jeans. She was wearing just a bra inside. She obviously didn’t open up like this in front of Robert but she didn’t mind now as it was just girls and the matter was too serious to worry about.
“What are these?” Patricia asked in confusion while picking up the small crown and looking at it in astonishment because it was really beautiful with red ruby stones all over. It looked like a fire burning. It was beautiful.
“I don’t know but he said these were with me when he found me. The crown, this locket, this symbol, and these papers with all these things written on it. I don’t know what it means.” She said in confusion.
“Is that all?” Suzanne asked while picking up the symbol and looking at it with a frown, trying to understand what that could mean.”
“No, I have got another thing.” She said with a frown.
“What is it?”
“The ‘S’ sign tattooed on my left waist with a crown on it and the colour is again, fire red.” Athena said while showing them the tattoo by raising her shirt. They both looked at it in astonishment for the nth time that day,
“My goodness! That’s so beautiful!”
*That looks so royal!”
They both gushed as they looked at it without blinking their eyes. Athena looked at them with a sigh and a tired sigh left her mouth. She left the shirt just the way it was, without noticing how it got riled up, exposing her milky white waist.
“Snap out of it, girls! Focus!” She snapped at them and they immediately came out of it and looked at her
