Rise of Athena Chapter 129
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
Rise of Athena Chapter 130
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

Alex sat in the sun room all night. He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear someone take a seat beside him. "You didn't join us for dinner," Alex turned to look at Daniel. "Yes, I didn't. Wasn't feeling really hungry." "Damien told me about Athena's health. Said you were with her the whole time," "Yes, I was." "Is she getting any better?" "Before I left, she was asleep but I don't know about now. Haven't gone back to her room since then." "You can go now, though. She's awake because she sent someone to hand over the envelope to Heyli." "That's great news," Alex said but he didn't stand on his feet. Infact, he looked really hesitant. "I hope she gets better before tomorrow's evening." Daniel frowned and looked at his Alpha. This wasn't him. He was looking quite unmoved by the whole conversation and didn't even show any interest in going to see Athena. "What's up? Is anything wrong?" Alex sighed and rubbed his chin. His eyes

"Wh— what are you trying to do, Athena?" Alex stuttered as he felt his breath quicken. Seeing Athena this way, he thought maybe he might be in a trance. But he wasn't. Athena was really standing there and waiting for him to come to her. "Come over here," She muttered under her breath. Alex, slowly clouded by desire nodded and walked towards where she stood. He stopped before her and contemplated for a bit but her hand reached out and pulled him towards her. "Athena, are you okay?" Athena frowned. "What do you mean by this question?" Alex shrugged, still trying to rein his desires in. "It's just, you're never this way. You're more of a rigid person and seeing you like this is quite strange. That's why I'm kind of taking my time." Athena was already slightly upset so she nodded and turned away. She bent over and picked up her coat. Alex didn't miss the sight of her milky thighs and it made his groin tighten. Slapping a hand over his forehead, he decided tha
Rise of Athena Chapter 134
Today was going to be either fun or a disaster, Heyli thought as she jogged towards the perimeter, hoping that she would be welcomed warmly. From where she was, she could see a bunch of junior warriors training and sitting around so she thought that maybe they hadn't started after all. On getting there, she stopped jogging and waited to catch her breath. When she already took in a bit of air, she began walking towards the perimeter. Someone bumped into her and ran past her and Heyli nearly fell. "Hey!" Heyli called out but the person was gone before she could make any other statement. Sighing, she shook her head as she watched the girl who had bumped into her take a seat on the concrete slab and look at her with a wicked, knowing look. "She did it on purpose," Heyli muttered. The girl who had hit her wasn't the only one who was staring at her. As she entered the perimeter, she noticed that other people around were also staring at her and talking with each other in whi
Rise of Athena Chapter 135
Athena was awake early. She took her bath, cleansed her body and dressed up regally. Today was her first appearance after her coronation party and she needed to look her best. He instructed one of her servants to get Damien for her. "You look really well, Athena," Damien said with a smile. Athena nodded and pulled her leg away once her maid was done fixing the strap of her shoe. "Yes, I am. The past two days have been hectic for me." "I know. And you got the rest you deserve." Damien said. "Well, I have come with a few updates from the days you've been absent." Athena nodded and looked up at him. "I'm listening." "Well, the Lycan Confederate sent a letter to us. The letter contained the test results from the specimen they took and also added notes. I left it in your study yesterday as I didn't want yuh to be disturbed. And about the execution, people are already talking about it and wondering if you're going to execute them or let them go scott free." Athe
Rise of Athena Chapter 136
"What you mean is that we won't be going home anytime soon?"Ciara asked as she put on the last dress she had in her trunk. She hadn't planned on staying here for this long so she didn't bring enough clothes. She remembered how Daniel told her that she was taking so much on their way here. Who knew that they were going to stay for much longer? Daniel nodded. "Yes, we are. Honey, you should understand why we're staying for much longer." Ciara nodded. "I do. But all of my dresses have been worn and I can't wear them again." "That isn't a problem. I'd get one of the servants to wash them." Daniel said and stood on his feet. "I miss Blue moon," Ciara suddenly said and flopped into bed. "I miss our room and how comfortable I am there." "Aren't you comfortable here?" Daniel sighed and asked. "Not as comfortable as I am in Blue moon. I'm sure you feel the same way, too," Daniel shrugged. "I've never really given it a thought. But you know we'd go back so
