Rise of Athena Chapter 15
Lightning flashed illuminating the room for one quick second and as a result, brightened her too. He cupped her head slipping his fingers through her coiffure that was now loose at the end of the day, he moved his thumb across her cheek in slow deliberate strokes savoring the feel of her soft skin. He slowly moved his hand behind her neck and his fingers worked to massage the tense muscles there, the small sigh she let out stirred dangerous things in his depths. The only sounds in the room now are the sounds of the heavy raindrops on the roof and the music of their frantic heartbeats.Her eyes were now closed, her lips slightly parted, he couldn't resist, he leaned in and felt the unmistakable sharp edge of her blade against his biceps.“Leave.”She sounded -to his dismay- betrayed. He stepped a few paces away from her gave a pained mock salute not even bothering to hide his hurt and left the room with an uncomfortable throb between his legs.His walk turned into a run in the heavy downpo

She looked at her reflection. The maid had helped her don a simple day dress. The clothes were modest ones, not at all fit for an Alpha. And that was the reason she was going to order a new wardrobe, not because she wanted Alexander to see her in them. Not at all. He had run for hours at full speed-his injured shoulder had healed almost immediately as he shifted to wolf form-but even that couldn't erase his pain or anger as soon as he crossed into his territory, his pack. His people, who share the unique link with their Alpha, all felt it. He emerged from the forest with a tortured look on his face, wearing tattered trousers he had held in his mouth while in his wolf form. He saw not less than 500 of his soldiers, all in wolf form, prepared to spill blood. But no one will harm their car. He protected her at all costs, but who would protect her from him? He threw his head back and gave a loud animalistic roar, the sound attracting those who lived in the remote part of the pack and hadn

Athena rose from her bed with a dulling pain in her heart, one she tried so much to ignore but kept coming back. Everything about her was slowly succumbing to the absence of the annoying footman. She tried not to think too much of him but kept failing miserably every single time. She even snapped at Damien when he tried to make a joke about Alex's absence. She didn't want to be his mate but that didn't give anyone the right to talk carelessly about him in her presence. The gossipers around the palace have found a new rumor to spread, some said she discovered that he was not her mate, others said he rejected her cos of her stone heart, the bold ones went ahead to say that he had had a fill of he Rand decided that she was no longer worth it. All these Athena heard through the use of her discreet footmen planted across the village. Some of her footmen had wives that blended into the villages and got useful information for her. A knock on the door startled her and brought her out of he

Alex POVI ran towards the boarder of my pack in my wolf form. It felt so good to be back home and finally in my rightful position so I used the opportunity to fulfil my plan of inspecting the boarder patrol and getting information directly form them. They have been sightings of rogues near my boder recently and it's not something I usually take lightly. No matter how lienient I am with ruling my people I do not joke with thier safety.The bidders needs to be reinforced, since most neighboring packs decoded that j haven't been in the pack for some days they might want to attack. My people are not happy with the whole leaving the pack for so long but I am doing it for a good course. I'm am doing it for the woman that has captured my heart yet successfully destroyed it. Opps sorry I'm over reacting, she has played with every ounce of my love. Athena is my mate and it's not just easy to let her go just like that. As weird as it may sound, I have fallen in love with every bit of her, ev

"With your permission of course,” He paused. “With a woman as head strong as she I fear you may be faced with a rather difficult choice, Your cara or your people. I hopoe that it does not come to that but if it does, it shouldnt be an option." He added then left, and Alex released a long breath as he watched him exit the door. He went to the balcony where his people were rapidly gathering wanting to see their Alpha for themselves. He truly missed his people. The time he spent away from his pack felt like a few months instead of the few days it actually was. But when he was with Athena it felt like a few hours. If someone were to take his devotion to his pack on one hand and his love for Athena on the other, and place them on each side of the scale, the scale wouldn't tip to any particular side. Even as he missed his people he yearned to go back to her, he was already exhausting the eighteen days after which he knew he had to come back to his people with or without her. The problem was

She left the threshold and stood by his chair."You do realize what he said is true right? Her blood has to be spilled."He heaved a sigh before answering. "I know Ciara. I just can't explain the weather a felt when he posted a threat to her.""My husband said you're going back tonight. When will we see you again?"He pondered her first few words for a few seconds. Soon he`ll be able to call Athena ‘mine.’“The next time you see me, I will be with your Queen.”“Alex.” she placed a hand on his shoulder as she usually does to comfort him. “What if she rejects you? What will you do then? Have you considered it?”“It not an option to be considered. The balance of the entire kingdom depends on her acceptance.”“So you hope to keep lying to her till she accepts you?”“Yes! So mind your business.” he angrily brushed her arm off his shoulder.“As you mentioned her acceptance affects the entire kingdom so it is my business.”“For now I will give her space and then I will woo her and she will f

Even if she could mask the emotions on her face there was no hiding her racing heart,“You came back.” The quiver in her voice was barely there as he lightly stroked the tiny hairs on the nape of her neck exposed by her high updo. It was barely there but he heard it. He smiled and as soon as hse saw it in the mirror she seemed to remember her role of playing hard to get. “The next time you touch me, ot`ll be the last thing you do with thos e hands.” She took several steps away from him. “Is that your heart or your brain talking?”“They are one and the same and you would do yourself a favour to heed those words.”He took a step closer wondering if she would move back. She didn’t. she was looking straight at him-glare was more like it- daring him to come closer and touch her.He thought of Ciara`s advice, what if athena was just too scared of what she felt to admit it. What if he had to give her a push, just a little. Perhaps Ciara was actually wiser than he thought.“I`d say I`d die h

She woke with a start to the pounding of the door, immediately taking in her surrounding she paused as she saw Alex now in human form under her sheets, the same sheets she had been tucked into presumably by Alex himself before he helped himself, she looked to the once trosseau of luxurious clothing which was now a heap of ash and tatters of fabric strewn around, among them she recognized a piece of his clothting, no doubt torn as his body morphed in to a wolf to pull her from fire. Fire. The same thing whic she had just used to punish him he saved hetr from. Sh wasn’t even about ready to think about what she had seen in her hallucination. She looked to his hand which was laying above the crisp white og the sheets. Althiugh the area under and wround his hands were slighly blackened from the burn of his skin. Two things came to hermind. First, He negleted his own pain r=and even risked worsening it in order to save her despite she being the fashion er of the disaster that occured within

"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
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
Rise of Athena Chapter 222
"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
