They were both standing in the middle of the room that had been quickly arranged for him and Athena kept on holding his hand and watching his face like she was studying him.

Alexander was tired and he needed to sleep but it seemed like Athena wasn't ready to let him go, yet.

"Want me to walk you to your room?" Alex asked with a smile on his face but Athena shook her head and smiled.

"I want to stay here for a bit."

Alex shrugged. "Alright, if you want. I'll take off my clothes and freshen up. Make yourself comfortable."

Athena walked to the window and pulled the thick drapes open. "I own this room so there's no need for you to tell me to feel comfortable or not."

Alex gave her an amused look of shock before bursting into laughter. "Still cocky as ever?"

"Of course," Athena smiled. Alex shook his head before stepping into his bathroom.

While he took his bath, Athena took her time to put things in order so he could sleep comfortably. She had speciall

    While everyone slept, the rogues began their nightly duties. They were ten in number and two out of them carried an unconscious girl in their arms. When they got close to Antarti gates, she was dropped to the floor. Their leader sent one of them to check the gates while they planned on how they were going to break into the doors. The man they had sent to the gates ran back to report his findings. "Dimitri, there are CCTV cameras at the gate but I don't think they're in operation." The man, tall and bulky, turned to look at his messenger. "Are you sure?" The man nodded. "Positive." "Alright," Dimitri said and turned to the men who stood before him. His eyes darted to the unconscious girl. "I want you all to be really quiet when you're jumping through the gates. And as for the girl, I'll take care of her. She's very important to us." "But she's going to slow us down," One of the men bold enough to speak to him said. Only a glance was enough to sile

    On getting there, Damien and Daniel found the men patrolling around but doing nothing. Damien immediately jumped out of the car and hurried to where the men stood. "What the hell is going on?! Where is their leader?" The commander turned and bowed to Damien as his superior. "He escaped before we could catch him." Damien groaned in anger. He was the one they needed more than the men he had sent to attack Antarti. Daniel joined him a few moments later. As he looked around, he saw some men who lay on the floor dead. He walked to where Damien stood. "What's going on?" "Their leader escaped before he could be captured. He's the one we need," Daniel looked back at the men that had been caught. Three were dead but the rest were alive. "His men are here. We can get information from them." Damien didn't look like he was sure. "They're strogoids, a species of Rogues that are extremely loyal to their masters. They won't disclose any information till their ma

    Alexander grabbed the creature by the throat and instead of attacking, he held it close and peered. Athena was standing from afar off, shivering in fear and beside her was Ciara who's hand was on her chest as she stared in horror. The creature had the body of a little girl and she struggled violently against Alexander's hold. Athena and Ciara began to walk towards Alex as he held onto the creature. Immediately, he pushed her to the wall of the pillar and pulled her hair up. It was indeed a girl. She looked like she had just been infected and the woman gasped. "She's a girl," Alex said. When Athena and Ciara got to where Alex stood, they peered and looked at her face. "She's a little girl," Ciara muttered and pulled her eyes open. The little girl snarled again and Athena flinched. Ciara wasn't a bit affected by the girl's act. "She's not a werewolf. Look at her eyes. She just turned." Alex nodded. "I figured. I need her to be back in her normal state so I

    Alex had suggested that they prepare a room for her and put her to bed but Athena was quite adamant. "What if she does something crazy? She's rabid!" Athena protested. Ciara stood by the door smiling as she watched them banter on if they should lock her up or clean her up. Alex walked to her and held her face. "Look at me, Athena. Trust me. I've read her enough to know that she's harmless. She's only rabid because she just turned and is still filled with fear and confusion. The only thing in her head in her werewolf state is to attack anything and anyone she sees in her way," "But how was she able to find herself in the palace to attack me!" Athena cried. "She was manipulated, Athena. Whoever sent her toyed with her mind so she came here probably because she was told that you want her dead." Athena shook her head. "I can't, I really can't," she said and walked away from him. "Athena, please? I'm sure of what I'm saying. Consider the fact that she's awa

    "She's awake!" Damien cried and immediately hurried to the bed to hold her down but Ciara was there to block him from moving. "You fucking wait!" Ciara said as she glowered at him. "Alex told you it was fine but you keep being insistent. Step back," Damien was breathing heavily but he stepped back anyway. Athena sighed as she watched him leave the room. "I don't know what's come over him," She said. Alexander, Daniel and Ciara exchanged knowing glances but did not say anything. The little girl was staring at them all in horror as she tried to place where she was and when Alex turned to her, she immediately moved away from him and cowered in horror. "Hey," Alex said in a gentle voice. "I'm not going to hurt you, okay?" The girl's eyes were as large as saucers and they held doubt. She didn't seem to trust him. "Who are you?" Alex, as he stepped closer to the bed where she lay on, introduced himself. "My name is King Alexander, Alpha of Blue moon pack,"

    Once Heyli was done talking, Athena was already leaving the room in anger and Alex, seeing that she was leaving, followed after her. "Athena!" He called out as she weaved past guests who were loitering about. Athena didn't stop until she got to the gallery and began to breathe heavily. Alex stopped behind her and turned her to face him. Her eyes were closed and she was breathing heavily. "Look at me, love. Look at me," Alex said gently as he led her to the door that led to the terrazzo. He was sure that no one frequented this place as it was a private area for just the royal family. When they were finally in the confines of the terrazzo, he pulled her to him and wrapped his arm around her. "I understand that you're feeling her pain." "Not only that!" She cried. "She was abused and maltreated and so was her mother," Alex was slowly starting to understand. "No. It's similar but not the same. Your father was never in your life but that bastard was there to

    A maid had been assigned to Heyli and a guard was placed in her room to watch her while the maid took care of her. Even after everything, she still wasn't trusted. Alex had asked that they gave her a few days before trusting her. "She was manipulated by that rogue of a man. We can never know." They were all going to the drawing room as Athena had asked them all to sit there. Ciara was sleepy so she excused herself and went to sleep. Once the door to the drawing room was shut, Daniel spoke. "I asked Damien to leave the rogues to us," Alex took a seat beside Athena and threw his arm around her. "Why?" "We can study them better and with your help, there'd be great progress." Athena immediately turned to Alex. "Are you leaving tomorrow?" "Of course not," Alex said. "I'm staying for a few weeks. Remember you have to find your wolf." Athena sighed and relieved as she thought that Alex had changed his mind behind her back. But that was not the case a

    Damien's expression darkened when he saw Alex standing in the middle of the room. He stopped at the threshold. "What are you doing here by this time?" Athena asked, frowning. "I came to check up on you. See if you're safe." Damien said in a low tone. "Well, as you can see, I am safe. The girl is not dangerous." "She's feral," Damien stamped that statement in his mind like he was never to agree that she was otherwise. "We don't even know her history. What if she's here to monitor us?" Athena, for the first time, laughed. "Why not focus on your duties rather than butting into mine?" Damien sighed and his eyes darted to Alex who was standing by the window with a knowing smile on his face. "I'm sorry that I am. But I'm your beta and it is me who bears all the burden of knowing if you're safe and not him." "That's going to change very soon," Alex said and straightened. As he strode towards them, his hand slipped into his pocket. He stood confidently beside

    "It's the men's combat game, Athena!" Damien said as he watched his Alpha strap herself with knives. She placed a diamondback knife in her boots and wedged a dagger on her arm. A pair tantos sat on the insides of her jacket and when she turned to face Damien, she smiled. "How do I look, Damien?" She asked. Damien shook his head and turned away from her. He hated the fact that she was excited for the combat. There was nothing to be excited about! She was literally putting herself in the face of danger and beckoning on it to come to her. "I don't know what to say, Athena. I do not feel comfortable with you participating in the men's combat category," Athena walked to the window and opened it. It was nearing evening and in about an hour's time or so, she would be out there, facing her opponent while everyone watched. If she was being honest with herself, she was really scared. Scared of the unknown. What if she got beaten to a pulp. What if she got paired with someo

    "What the hell is going on?" Kayla gasped as she heard the announcement the master of ceremony made. Kayla came to stand beside her. "Did the King just ask her to participate in the male category?" "Yes, he did," Kayla replied, sounding really shocked and worried. "Why would he do that?" "Because the King does what he does according to what his subject wants," A guy came and stood behind them as he spoke. Melodie gave him the stink eye. "She's not his subject. She's the King of Antarti!" The boy laughed like he was mocking her and Melodie glared at him like she wanted to kill him on the spot with her eyes. "You think. He's ruling the Lycan Confederate and can make any degree. Besides, she asked for it with her whole feminism shit," "And who the hell are you?" Kayla stepped forward in a defensive stance. "Oh," The boy touched his chest in a mock polite manner. "My name is Lawrence. I am the Prince of The Lycan Confederate," "And what are you doing here?"

    Athena stood alongside other contestants. Most of them were women and she frowned. Was this category just for women? Just then, she saw Eucaria standing at the other side of the line. The lady waved at Athena and scurried to stand beside her. "I had no idea you were participating," "Well, I am. Why is it just women here?" Eucaria shrugged. "This is a women's game. It's less brutal than combat and the rest," "That's bullshit," Athena said. The women around her gasped but she ignored them. "Why would they allow that?!" "There's actually no time for you to ask questions," A lady, dressed in combat outfit but looking like she was the referee with a whistle around her neck, came forward. She stared at Athena who matched her look without fear. "Once I blow the whistle, you all run towards the ropes hanging off those rocks on the other side of the amphitheater. Use it to lift your bodies off the ground and jump once you're about two meters in the air. Note that lit

    Kayla and Melodie were still waiting for Heyli to come back to them with good news when they saw her climbing one of the seats above. Kayla stepped forward and Melodie squinted her eyes as she watched Heyli take a seat beside Athena and Alex. She looked guilty and as Alex spoke to her, she only nodded. "Did she actually leave us here?" Melodie asked, suddenly feeling offended and betrayed by their friend. Kayla wasn't going to believe that was it. "I don't think so. Heyli won't do that to us. She's probably trying to negotiate things with Alex," "But she's seated there!" Melodie cried. Some people from the team looked at them and Kayla immediately apologized. "Let's just hope that's not the case," Melodie turned and looked at her. "Maybe that's the case." Kayla kept staring in Heyli's direction, hoping their friend would look at them and signal that she was going to return soon. But that wasn't going to happen because the master of the ceremony already stepp

    As early as five in the morning, the girls were awoken by the ringing of large bells. "I woke up at six back at home," Melodie said as she groaned and sat up. "I hate this time arrangement." Melodie noticed that Kayla wasn't in bed. Heyli had woken up for a few minutes before laying back down and falling asleep immediately. "Kayla?" "I'm bathing!" She called from the bathroom. Melodie climbed out of the bed and went to the bathroom door of bathroom. "Why didn't you wake us all up?" "I did. You both sleep like a hibernating snail. We have to prepare quickly, by the way. We're going to be manning the surroundings of the amphitheater. Handing weapons and change of clothes and help to the injured. I just hope nothing goes wrong," "What might that be?" Kayla's voice lowered. "A beast might be released. That would fight with one of the contestants. Someone told me a few warriors were killed the last time," Melodie's heart sank. "What?" "Yes," "Is this what I

    Heyli fell into his arms. She had no idea what was controlling her but she knew that his arms was where she wanted to be. Nowhere else but his arms. As she walked into his arms, he fully engulfed her in a hug and placed his chin on her glossy hair. "Did you use a new perfume?" Heyli drew away a bit. "Yes. How did you know?" Loki smiled and pulled her back in. "You love vanilla and that's your signature. But you're using something fruity," Heyli swallowed. "Well, Melodie suggested u used a different one and it was actually nice," "Because of Miguel?" Heyli shrugged. "I guess." "You guess? Or you did so because of him." "Do you want us to turn this into an argument?" "Not an argument. I'm mad." Heyli gave him an incredulous look. "Why?" "Because you are making yourself look good for another boy. It makes me want to go after him and rip his limbs apart so you don't find him attractive," Heyli gasped and burst into laughter but before she could sa

    One thing Heyli loved about this place was the fact that she didn't have to go through gates. The doors directly lead out to the streets and once she was hit with a cold gust of wind, she closed her eyes and sighed in relief. "The Lycaon Statue," She muttered under her breath. That was where Miguel said they were going to meet. Pulling up her gown, she climbed down the stairs and turned to the northern side of the road. The streets were void of people but amber lights flooded the roads and she was able to see under them. She actually didn't need any light to see but she needed to see Miguel. Somehow, she didn't trust her sense of vision to lead her to the right person. As she hurried down the road, she made sure to look back. Someone might be following her. No one was and she hastened her footsteps. She just hoped Hathaway had forgotten about her. As she turned her head to see if anyone was following after her, she bumped into a hard body and nearly fell on her kn

    The suit was lit by scented candle lights. Athena sat on the Chippendale chair that faced the windows and she stared up at the night skies. She had spent most of her day in this room. It was oddly comforting. The walls that were repainted by the sunset and the twilight. Then she lit the candles, ignoring the lights she could turn on through the switch. There was something about candle lit rooms that made her feel like she was floating. She stood to her feet and walked to her as dinner was almost near. She wanted to be early so she could mingle with the other ladies who had been smiling at her when she was taking a walk in the afternoon. This was to avoid being in close contact with Alexander. There was something he was hiding from her and if he didn't trust her enough to tell her, she wasn't sure she wanted to have anything to do with him. As for Damien and Loki, theirs was still loading. She didn't have time yet. She took out a pale green dress. It was one of her fa

    "He asked me to see him by eleven tonight so he could tell me the complete story of Lycaon," Heyli said as she pulled off her dress. Kayla wiggled her brows. "That story must be really interesting for you to actually sneak out by eleven," Heyli chuckled her chemise at Kayla who caught it in her hand and dumped it on the bed beside her. The girls were back in their room as soon as the clock struck seven. Heyli hadn't seen Loki throughout the day and neither had she seen Athena or Alexander. Melodie was just stepping out of the bathroom. Her body was wrapped in a towel. "Kayla's right. I can't believe you're going out by eleven just to see a guy you don't know," Heyli became defensive. "His name is Miguel," Kayla and Heyli exchanged looks before bursting into laughter. Heyli glared at them both but she said nothing. She wrapped a towel around her and went into the bathroom. She took her time there, opting for the soft scented shampoos for her skin and floral shampo
