32 Forgiveness

(Athena's POV)

As I went upstairs, Storm followed like he was some lost puppy. It was cute. I walked into the bathroom and started to wash my face in the sink. My wolf, Angel then decided to speak. "Mate keeps following us like a puppy waiting for a command.' I chuckled at what she said.

"That's because I'm basically am waiting for a command." Storm's voice came from out of nowhere. I turned around to see Storm leaning against the doorframe of the bathroom. I laughed a little and signaled him to come to me. He happily strolled to me and lifted me up on the counter. I wrapped my arms around his neck and asked "And why are you waiting for my command?". " Because you are Lady Boss." he answered and I laughed.

"Well as your Lady Boss, I command you.... to kiss me." I said and he smiled and pulled me into a kiss. We pulled away from each other and I inhaled happily that I hummed a little. "Baby you will be the death of me." he said and I laughed. "Okay come on we need to get dressed." I said as I hopped off the counter.

I walked out of the bathroom and went into my closet. Storm followed me into the closet and just watched as I changed. "Dude stop watching me. We get it. You love my body. Now just get dressed already." I said and he laughed and did as he was told while he murmured under his breath "Baby you have no idea." We both got dressed and we went downstairs to bid jack a goodbye and left.

We drove to Jered's family home and throughout the whole drive, I became even more nervous. I kept fidgeting in my seat. Storm held my hand the whole time and told me it would be okay. I took a deep breath and nodded.

When we got to the house, we got out of the car and went to the front door. Storm knocked on the door and nearly a second later Jered opened the door. He looked kind of happy to see me but when he looked at Storm, he glared at him. "Jered remember what I told you." I reminded him of our conversation earlier. Jered let out a big sigh and moved to the side to let us in.

After I walked passed him, he grabbed on to Storm's arm and whispered something into his ear. Storm nodded and walked passed him. I thought it was weird but I chose to ignore it.

Jered walked us to Diamond's room and knocked on the door. "Diamond, Athena and Storm are here." he said through the door. "Come in" a voice said from the other side of the door. Jered opened the door and we walked in.

On the bed sitting up, was Diamond. I took a deep breath and walked over to her bed. "Hi Athena" she said and I replied "H-hi Diamond". I scratched the back of my head, trying to figure out what to say next. "What happened to your neck?" she asked. I was confused at first and I reached to my and felt a little bruise. It was a hickey from Storm that I forgot to cover up.

'Son of a bitch' I thought to myself and I heard Storm chuckle a little, probably because he heard my thoughts. I laughed awkwardly and blushed. "Ooo did you two mate last night?" she asked and I blushed even more. She saw me blush even more and she had a grin on her face. "Yay I'm so happy for you guys." she said as she grabbed my hand and pulled me on to the bed into an embrace.

'Um She's hugging me. She is fucking hugging me even after what I did to her. Storm help me. I think she has gone insane.' I said while mind linking Storm. 'Sorry baby. I don't think I can help.' he said back through mind link. 'If you don't help, then no sex for a month.' I replied back.

After saying that, I looked to the corner of my eye and saw a panic look on Storm's face. I smirked a little and then Storm started to talk. "Um Diamond, why did you call us here?" he asked and Diamond finally released me from the hug. "Oh uh I asked you guys here so I can apologize for my actions lately. Athena you probably feel like it's your fault and you are mad that you hurt me right? Well I want to tell you it isn't your fault. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't being seeing my family again. So I forgive you. And for Storm, I'm sorry for what I did to you. I was being controlled by Alpha Blade so he made me do that to you. I never wanted to do it but I did and I'm really sorry about it.I hope I can have both of my friends back."

After she finished speaking, I felt like a huge weight got lifted off my shoulders. I smiled and sat next Diamond on the bed and pulled her close for a side hug. "I'll be happy to have my best friend back in my life." I said to her happily. She smiled at me and I looked towards Storm.

One side of his lips curled up and he said "Yea me too". He walked over to the other side of the bed and got into the bed and we went into a group hug. "I'm so happy I have my friends back." she said and I responded "us too".

We broke up our hug and I looked over at Jered who was sitting on the couch in the room, with his face in his hands. I felt bad for him. I looked back at Diamond and whispered to Diamond "Diamond I think you should talk to your brother. You have no idea how worried he was about you. All those years you were gone, he rarely slept and searched for you every chance he had. When I told him that I found you, he never left your side. He even had his mate help take care of you. She is the woman that helped brought back your memories. Look at him now. You won't talk to him and he's beating himself up for it. Come on go talk to him."

Diamond looked over at Jered and then back at me and nodded. "Hey big bro can I have a hug from you too." she asked and Jered looked up and saw Diamond holding her arms out. He got up from the couch and walked towards us. Diamond scooted out from between me and Storm and sat at the edge with Jered. She wrapped her arms around Jered's waist and tightly hugged him.

Jered was still partially in shock but he didn't he didn't hesitate to hug her back. "I missed you big bro." she said into his chest. A tear fell from Jered's face and he said "I missed you too." The moment between was emotional and leaned against Storm. He kissed the top of my head and we just watch this beautiful moment prevail.
