Rise of Athena Chapter 154
Heyli quietly shut the door to her sister-to-be's study. The idea of the adoption still weirded her out as she had never heard of someone being adopted to be a sister. It was strange. But still, she didn't dispute. Maybe the Lycans did this. King Athena was seated on one of the leather couches in the room and she leaned over to the coffee table before her to pick a glass cup in which she poured in an apple cider. She raised her hand and gestured to Heyli to take it from her. Heyli had never tried alcohol apart from the time she had taken a painful gulp from her father's cup of ale. It had tasted terrible and she had actually read about it to learn about different alcohol variants. She knew that apple cider was made out of fermented apples and she was curious to know how it'd taste so she took it from Athena's hand. Athena poured herself another drink before settling back into her chair. She took a sip from her glass. "Have a seat, Heyli. Stop standing there lik
Rise of Athena Chapter 155
As soon as Heyli left her study, Athena decided that she needed to leave too. She had to get ready for dinner and as she locked her door, she wondered where Alex had gone all day long. His reply this morning had been vague, leaving her wondering where he went. Shaking her head, she decided that she was going to rid herself of such thoughts. As she walked down the hallway, she realized how empty it was and it had her wondering where everyone had gone. Shrugging, she decided that it was probably a coincidental occurrence and continued making her way down the empty hallway to her room. As she made a turn to the next narrow corridor that led to her room, she felt someone grab her by the waist and pull her backwards. Her next action was to sock her attacker in the gut and she came in contact with a hard body that groaned slightly. "Athena! You just hit me. Man, you're so violent," Athena turned to see Alex standing behind her and laughing and looking handsome as hell

"What did she say to you?" Heyli looked up at Ciara from where she sat on her bed, deep in thought. She had forgotten to lock her door so Ciara had used this chance to slip into her room. Heyli heaved a deep breath and leaned against one of the wooden posters attached to her queen size bed. "She wants to adopt me as a sister," Ciara nodded and took a seat beside her on the bed. "That was unexpected," Heyli placed her palm on her head. "I know, right? She doesn't even talk to or acknowledge me and suddenly she wants me to be her adoptive sister. She also made me take a lot of apple cider. I don't think my sister would do that, would they?" Ciara smiled. "Sisters do worse. But tell me. Why do you think she made you drink a lot of apple cider?" "To make me talk, of course. Isn't it obvious?" "She probably knew you were going to coat your words when talking to her so she made you drink. Yes, I know that it's offensive but she did it for a good course. Wha
Rise of Athena Chapter 157
It was time for dinner. Everyone sat in their respective seats. Heyli made sure she sat at the fsr end of the dining table, away from Athena and her intense stare. Alex was seated beside her and he was dressed in a cravat. Ciara sat beside her husband, close enough to Athena's seat at the head of the table. "Heyli," Alex called. "Why are you seated there?" Heyli shook her head. "No reason. I was just led to this place, nothing much," Alex nodded. "If that's what you want." Alex had been nothing but nice to her. More like her nice Uncle back in the days. Her Uncle Tarantino used to visit twice a year and each time he came, he would sneak in a lot of candies into her room as he was aware of how cruel her father was to her. Uncle Tarantino was her father's younger brother so he really had no say in whatever he was doing as her father had bullied him when they were younger. One time, he had asked to take her into custody and Heyli was so excited. She wa
Rise of Athena Chapter 158
Once dinner was over, everyone wiped their mouths and bade each other a goodnight. Alex gave Athena a look as she stood to her feet and she nodded her head in understanding. Heyli was the first to leave as she felt really strange after taking that blood mixture. She knew she was going to be restless throughout the night and probably was going to vomit. As for Daniel and Ciara, they were leaving early the next morning without Alex. Alex had told them he was going to be back in Blue moon pack two days before the Royal Hunting to go with them and they had all agreed to that proposal. Alex did not tell them he was going to be training Athena to hunt. She had told him to keep it just between them and he had agreed. Now, she went into her room to change into something more comfortable: a pair of combat pants, a black tank top and combat boots. She packed her platinum blonde hair above her head before deciding that she was all set. "Are you ready?" Alex was standing by her
Rise of Athena Chapter 159
"I don't like you, Alex," Athena said as she dusted her clothes. She had fallen on her buttock and it had been really painful as she cussed a lot, which was a rare thing for her to do. "I'm sorry," Alex said with amusement in his voice. For him climbing and jumping over the fence was really easy and he had landed firmly on his foot. He had helped her up while still laughing and as they walked towards the woods, she kept glaring at the back of his large head. "We should have gone through the front gates, you know? Command the guards at the gates to keep quiet about it." "You were the one who kept on talking about us not going through the front gates, Athena," Alex said and rolled his eyes. "Now, you're complaining and saying otherwise." "Of course! I wouldn't have landed my buttocks if we had gone through the front gates and you know that," "Can we quit talking about this? We already crossed the fence. The deed has been done and there's nothing we can do but mo

"Am I really going to climb this till I actually break my legs? I've been doing this for the past thirty minutes!" Athena complained. "If that's what's going to kill you at the ceremony, we can just do climbing for tonight," Athena's left foot was hanging in the air and the only source of her support were both of her hands grabbing onto the jagged side of the rock and one foot on the rock's foothold. "It's strenuous," "It wouldn't have been if you could shape shift properly. I use my claws to climb and it's really easy," Athena pushed herself up with her right foot and balanced her left foot on the nearest foothold. She was breathing heavily by now. "Then why are you stressing me out?! I could easily do that if you teach me how to shape shift." "I chose the hard way." "My muscles are burning, Alexander," Athena cried as she pushed herself up again. She was already close to the top of the rock but she could feel the rough edges of the rock pierce the flesh o

About two hours later, athena decided that they were done. she fell to the ground while breathing heavily and glaring at alex who kept laughing at her. "fuck you, alex." "you've been saying that all night. you're giving me a signal, aren't you?" alex said as he dropped on the floor beside her. athena punched his arm and he yelped. "ow! you punch real hard," athena laughed. "i never said i was weak. the only thing i can't do is climb and i'm getting good at it," "well, after tomorrow and the next, we'd focus on making you shape shift," to that, athena blew out a deep breath. "i can't wait," she said, her voice laced with sarcasm. alex stood his feet and stretched his hand down to her. "here, we have to go now. we're done and it's almost three o'clock. i'm sure you'd be craving your beauty sleep," athena took his hand and he pulled her up. she fell against his chest and groaned in tiredness. "why are you so comfy?" alex let her rest her head on his chest

"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
