Rise of Athena Chapter 124
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

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

No one had ever seen such a thing before. They ran with inhuman speed. Infact, they could not be seen as they moved but they ended up appearing before you and snarling with the ugliest green eyes before tearing you apart like you were bread just taken out of the oven. No one understood what was happening. No one saw them coming or going so it was easy to die. Crescent Pack had their gates located directly before the major roads people frequented and their guards had seen the sudden cacophony as people were thrown out of their cars and trucks. They watched people's throat slash and blood spill but they couldn't see what they did it. Not until they spotted a hideous looking being tearing off fleshes and devouring did they know that something was wrong. Immediately, their commander was alerted and a quick mail was sent to Antarti to inform them about their guests being attacked. Their commander asked them to back down in order to know what was attacking as

Athena paced about as she worried about the guests that were being attacked on their way home. A lot of thoughts ran through her head as she stared out of the window into the empty training grounds. The news of the attack was going to spread like wildfire and everyone would think she was unfortunate. Why did she have to bring so much bad luck? She didn't even know what was attacking them and that was what bothered her the most. Out of annoyance, she flung the champagne flute sitting on her window sill against the wall, causing it to smash against the fall and break into irregular splinters. Immediately, one of her maids ran into the room looking worried. Athena didn't even acknowledge her. She kept on looking outside while her maid cleaned up the mess and quietly left the room. Ciara joined in later. She stood beside Athena who seemed restless. "Hey," Athena turned to look at her before replying drily. "Hey," "You seem distressed." Athena sighe

"Is he alright?" Damien asked as they led people into the truck that was waiting to transport them to their various destinations. "Of course, he is. That's not a growl of pain. He's doing something." "What might that be?" "To ascertain dominance." Damien nodded. "I hope he's safe though." "What do you think this might be? I'm shocked they didn't follow us here." "You should be happy, Daniel. These people have to be at home, safe. Not here fighting for their lives." "How many people are dead?" They overheard someone asking another person. Immediately, both of the men rushed to where the voice was coming from and to their utmost surprise, a man dressed in charcoal gray combats was standing with the commander of Antarti pack. "Fucking hell. They came." Daniel said with shock. "Didn't believe they'd intervene in this." "It's never a good thing," Damien muttered. "They'd call for a tribunal and look for what people to blame. Look for what pack to

The drive back to Antarti was quiet as everyone was shaken by the attack they had just experienced. No one could tell what it was or what it meant or why it had happened and they all waited for the Lycan Confederate to examine the bodies of the dead and the medium they had taken alive. But until then, they all had to be careful. On getting to the palace, Alex and the others were informed that the guests had arrived home safely. It was a great relief. The whole of Antarti were gathered in the square and they waited for the commander of the warriors to address them. Alexander decided to go see Athena with Damien following behind him. Daniel had gone to see his pregnant wife as he had left her alone for the whole day. On getting to Athena's chambers, they were redirected to her study by the porter who informed them that she had spent most of her day there. Alex wondered what she was up to. She was probably extremely worried about all that had been going on sinc

Athena was awoken by the aroma of chicken soup that wafted into her nose. She stirred towards the direction of the flavor and when she cracked her eyes open, she was shocked to see Alex sitting on a tiny stool and staring directly at her. "What are you doing here?" Athena asked as she sat up. She rubbed the sleepiness off her face. "Staring at me like a creep." Alex shook his head. "You never change." Athena ignored him and climbed out of bed. She hadn't taken two steps forward when she stopped and felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. She placed a hand on her head and fell back to sit on her bed. Alex was beside her in seconds. He checked her temperature. "You're having a really high fever, Athena." Athena nodded and leaned a hand against the bed with one hand. "I don't know what's wrong with me. I've never fallen sick in a long time. Why are these things happening now?!" She cried. Alex held her and tried to comfort her. "Hey, calm down." But Athen

"Shh," Alex said calmly. His voice had thinned to a whisper and his fingers had successfully pushed her coat open that her milky skin showed. He seeped in a breath. "You're so beautiful, Athena." Alex whispered. Athena was still throughout the whole ordeal. She knew she should push him away and call him selfish for trying to make a sick woman fall for his temptations but at the same time, she didn't want him to stop. She wanted him to continue what he was doing. Her skin tingled and she felt shivers run down her spine. How could one man make her feel a thousand emotions at the same time? Involuntarily, her eyes closed and she leaned back. Alex's hand cupped the side of her neck and brought her cheek to his lip so that his breath fanned against her cheek. The feeling was out of this world but ephemeral... He withdrew and shook his head like he was clearing a spell off his head. "I'm so sorry, Athena," Alex said and moved away from her. He began to stac

"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
