Athena stood before her subjects. Most of them were commoners and a few of them were among the elites. They all stood before the King in the hall as they wondered why they weren't outside, in front of the field where offenders were commonly executed. She was unsmiling and as soon as she cleared her throat, everyone focused their attention on her. "I understand that you all are talking about the execution and all. Why am I not outside addressing you all before the offender. That's because I have decided that he will not be killed anytime soon," Damien looked at Athena in surprise and the others began to talk in whispers about how ridiculous it was to extend the life of an offender but Athena didn't care. Knowing that her reasons were valid, she waited till the murmur had died down. "My King, why would you say such a thing? He is to be killed before the full moon!" Damien said. Athena turned to look at him with a smile on her face. "Be patient and listen to w
Kayla Hart's spot at the top of the scoreboard was enough for Heyli to know that she was one of the best. No one needed to tell her and as the red haired, tall girl walked towards her, Heyli looked at Gray eyes and wondered why he had paired her with a good fighter, knowing fully well that today was her first day of being here. Knowing that it was better to speak up than for her to be beaten to a pulp by this girl, she turned to him and walked towards him. "But this is my first time here. Don't you think it's unfair for me to be paired with her? She's at the top of the scoreboard!" Heyli said. If Grey eyes heard her, he acted like he didn't. Someone called him and that was when she knew that his name was Loki. A fucking Norseman. Sighing, she knew that she had to take the cue. Everyone at one point of their life had fought battles with people and situations stronger than they were. She wasn't first and she wasn't going to be the last. So she took a deep breat
"What do you want?" Heyli hissed as she leaned back against the bed that had been raised halfway in the air. Harrison shrugged. "Kolinsky asked me to check up on you. I wouldn't be here if he hadn't asked me to," Heyli gave him a dirty look. She was starting to dislike him. "As you can see, I am perfectly alright. You can go back and report to him," "Of course, I will," Harrison sang as he began to walk away from her. "I also won't forget to tell him that you were beaten by Kayla," Heyli ignored him and decided to leave but when she realized that a doctor or a nurse might have put her here, she decided to wait and in no time, a woman with platinum blonde hair stepped out of a door that she was just seeing for the first time. "Hello, my name is Doctor Quinn," The lady said as she smiled broadly at Heyli. "Hi, Doctor Quinn," Heyli replied quietly as she studied the woman. Quinn looked to be in her early thirties. She was young and beautiful and her hair was
Loki stared down at the girl standing before him. Her honey brown eyes swirled even in the dark and even if he knew that she was unable to defend herself, something had made him ask her to duel with Kayla. She looked interesting and he could read it in her eyes. There was a mystery behind those eyes and he wanted to know what it was. "Your name is Heyli?" He asked in his calm voice. His Norwegian accent could not be ignored and she wondered if he was an immigrant from another pack in far away Norway or he was a descendant of a Norwegian family and somehow, he had grown up with that accent. "Can you hear me?" Loki repeated as he waved his hand in front of her face. Heyli shook her head as if to clear off whatever thought she was having before she nodded her head. "Yes, my name is Heyli. Thanks for pairing me with Kayla," Heyli's voice dripped with sarcasm and Loki knew she was angry. He smiled. "I'm actually really sorry. I rarely visit and today, there was s
Never in her life had she thought that she would have anyone watching over her. It was absolutely weird as she had had to live on her own, getting beat by her father with no form of protection. But now, she had that and she wasn't sure if she really wanted it. She didn't want Loki to be her bodyguard for some reasons she had no idea about. But she knew that there was nothing she could do. She couldn't say no to Athena. The lady didn't look like one who liked to be questioned. Sighing, Heyli climbed down the porch steps and went to meet him. "Hey," She said. Loki turned. "Hey," He wasn't smiling this time. Now, he was looking like the Loki she had seen this morning and it was quite satisfying. "Are you done making up your mind?" Heyli nodded. "Not like I had an option though. So, how is it going to be? Are you going to stand before my door all day?" Loki gave her an incredulous look. "I'm not as jobless as you think. To think that I would stand before you
Immediately after the cake was cut, Athena decided that she had to leave. Funny enough, Alex also made the same decision in his head. They both began to leave the room together and when Athena bumped into Alex, she gave him a stern look before brushing past him. Alex sighed and said, "Women would never cease to amaze me." And continued his journey up the stairs. Everyone was too busy to notice. On getting to his room, he found Athena standing by his door, arms folded and pacing about. "Looking for me?" Alex said carelessly as he stopped in front of his door. He took out his keys and began unlocking as he waited for Athena to give him a reply. "Have you made up your mind?" "About what?" "The sacrifice." Athena said, raising her chin up. "No, I haven't. I will not. Is that why you're here?" "Of course, why else would I be here?" "You might be missing me." Athena scoffed. "You wish." "I know." "Whatever." "If you'd let me g
Two weary vagabonds meet upon a shapely threshold of timid embouchures.They build for one another there a lavish home; of butterfly walls, and windchime ceilings. two-dream garage, foundations a flutter.What began in frost, rushes to flame. From twin-flooded hearts, a tsunami of ambrosia. Fuck. Alex was really letting a woman have control over his actions? That hadn't been possible till now. Athena coming onto him in this manner was what surprised him but he liked it even if he couldn't help but wonder how on earth she was able to pull down his defenses this easily. They were kissing passionately, tongues entwining, fast hands touching and searching sensitive spots, heated breathing and moans of pleasure. Athena's arms were still wrapped around him but she felt it wasn't enough. She wanted to touch him everywhere. She wanted him to touch her everywhere but he seemed not to be doing that. He was still, letting her do everything. Suddenly, she stopped kiss
Alex started by pulling off the thin straps of her gown. He kissed the patch of her skin that had been covered by the tiny material and Athena moaned again. He loved hearing her moan. It made him want to rip off her dress but he knew he had to be slow and gentle with her as she was not just any woman. She was his woman and he was going to pamper her everywhere, even in bed. He was also going to torture her. A wicked grin appeared on his face and Athena slipped her fingers into his soft hair. The front of his hair cascaded down to cover his eyes and while he worked on unbuttoning the front of her dress and in no time, he parted the flaps of her dress to expose her bare body. She had no sort of underwear on and Alex looked at her. "You did this on purpose?" "Of course not. I was on my way to bed when Ciara brought up the idea of a surprise birthday for Heyli," Alex didn't believe her but he was too busy admiring her naked body to think about it. Her
