Rise of Athena Chapter 118
Ciara's eyes cracked open and when she stared out of the window, she noticed that it was already day time. She felt a bit energized but there was a general weakness in all of her joints. Knowing that she would be alright if she climbed out of bed, she threw back her covers and climbed out of her bed. The first thing that caught her eyes was a tray filled with food. She raised a brow in confusion as to why there was a tray of food sitting on the bedside table not until she remembered that Daniel had promised to get her breakfast. She slapped her forehead in frustration. She had probably gone into a deep sleep as she was sure that Daniel had brought her the food and had probably tried waking her up to no avail. The food had gone cold and Daniel was nowhere to be found so she threw on a robe and walked out of the room. She noticed that the corridor was quite empty as everyone if the guests that had been at the party last night had all gone home. Remembering that she had

Alexander and Athena stared at three of the men. They had already found the culprit but out of anger, Athena had asked that they locked the three men up. Tomorrow was going to be the day of execution and the culprit would be called out. The men had been thrown into the dungeon as Athena had commanded and after that, she had called for a meeting with the cabinet members. Damien sat beside her as usual but on her other side was Alexander so she was flanked by the two men. Damien had been silent and only speaking when he was asked to. He never made any suggestions whatsoever. "We have to fortify the building. Human technology isn't enough," Jayman said. Jayman was the new minister for security and he had been appointed by Athena. "And what is your suggestion, Jayman?" Athena asked in her authoritative voice. "I suggest that we include spiritual means into this whole security of a thing. The walls, electricity and cameras are not enough. We need some sort of magi
Rise of Athena Chapter 120
The meeting had ended in a heated argument and Alex had left angrily. He walked out of the hall angrily as he thought about why a bunch of old stupid men were chosen to be cabinet members. It was absolutely ridiculous and he was going to speak to Athena about it after the meeting. She needed young blood mixed with a few older men who knew what progress meant. Shaking his head, he took the steps up the first floor. He was so deep in thought that he didn't see one of the maids coming down the steps with a pile of laundry that covered her face. The clash was disastrous as the tall pile of clothing fell down the steps. The maid lost footing but Alexander was quick to grab her by the waist to stop her from stumbling down the stairs. "Oh my goodness!" The lady squeaked as she grabbed Alex's arms for support. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you coming," Alex said as he stood her up properly. "Kali?" He recognized her from her sheer green eyes and plump lips he had enjoyed kissi
Rise of Athena Chapter 121
Ciara decided that after having lunch with Heyli, she needed to show the little girl around while also taking a walk to stretch her legs. She hadn't seen Daniel all afternoon and it seemed like he was really busy so she decided that spending a little time with Heyli wasn't a bad thing after all. After lunch, both women took a walk around the garden and Ciara almost bled her ears out from listening to Heyli gush about the beauty of the garden. The next place she took Heyli to was the training grounds. "This place is where warriors train?" Heyli asked. "That's smart of you,"Ciara commended. She made sure to sprinkle compliments here and there. Heyli seemed to have been starved of it from a young age and it was a way to build her confidence. "This is where warriors train every morning and evening. They're all gone to their duty posts. The first set trains in the morning while the second set does the morning shift and vice versa. They also interchange. Would you like to join?"
Rise of Athena Chapter 122
From where Damien stood talking with Daniel, they heard the piercing scream come from inside the palace. Damien's ears perked up immediately. "That's King Athena," Daniel said. "I have to go." Damien said quickly and hurried off. Daniel followed after him. Alex was also speaking with Kali when he heard her scream and immediately, he left the garden and bounded up the steps, his destination, Athena's chambers. When he got to her door, he began knocking but there was no response. He kept on knocking till he got tired and pushed the door open. Athena was standing in front of the shattered pieces of glass before her vanity table. Her hands were wrapped around her slender frame as she stared at the pieces of glass. "Athena?" Alex said as he slowly moved towards her. "Don't come close to me. Just leave," Athena said in a firm voice. She sounded pissed. "I need to explain things to you, please. Just listen to me this one time." When she turned to
Rise of Athena Chapter 123
Heyli was standing before an impressive man. Even on his seat, she knew he was a tall, intimidating man. Harrison had taken her to his office before leaving and she stood there for about two minutes before he finally gave her attention. "Why haven't I ever seen you here in Antarti?" The man asked as he studied her small frame. He had pinched lips and the most intimidating set of brown eyes she had never seen. Somehow, she saw the strictness of her father in this man. Heyli moved from one foot to another as she thought about what to say. She decided that lying was going to save her. She'd have to tell Ciara about it. "I'm related to Queen— King Athena!" Heyli said and blushed in embarrassment as she corrected herself. The man raised a brow at her as he wrote down something in a book. He sighed and leaned back on his chair before speaking. "What do you say is your name again?" "Heyli." "Just that?" Heyli nodded and fiddled with the hem of her shirt

Ciara stood to her feet. "You know that's not possible," Alex shrugged and watched Ciara go into the palace before standing to his feet and bounding down the porch steps, his destination, the dungeon. Ciara found Athena sitting in the sunroom. Athena seemed to want her own privacy at this time but Ciara had no option than to disrupt it. Athena felt another presence beside her and immediately turned to see Ciara standing at the door with an envelope in her hand. "Come in, will you?" Athena said with a welcoming voice. Ciara nodded and did as she was told. Athena gestured for her to take a seat and Ciara did so. Both women smiled awkwardly at each other. "What brings you here?" Athena asked as she sipped from her cup of tea. Ciara slid the golden envelope across the table over to Athena who took it and felt the texture of the envelope. She rubbed the edges and her fingers ran over the seal before she looked up to Ciara who was waiting for her to say som
Rise of Athena Chapter 125
Before Heyli could turn to go back in, Athena saw her. "Heyli?" Heyli turned slowly and her expression held uncertainty. She stood by the door until Athena spoke again. "Come over here," Heyli did as she was told. She walked to where Athena sat and bowed in respect. "Take a seat." Heyli took a seat beside Athena but there was a lot of space left between both women. Athena said nothing afterwards. She watched the junior team train and Heyli did the same. Heyli watched young boys and girls of her age pair with each other and duel. They were all taller and bigger than she was. And here she was, looking like a fifteen year old girl. Her eyes caught Harrison talking with a girl with blond hair and the girl seemed to be smiling but that's none of her business. "You want to join the junior warrior team?" Athena asked suddenly. Heyli jerked. She hadn't been expecting that question. Swallowing, she nodded. "Why?" Heyli thought for a while

"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?"
Rise of Athena Chapter 228
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
Rise of Athena Chapter 225
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
Rise of Athena Chapter 224
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
Rise of Athena Chapter 223
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
