Rise of Athena Chapter 178
Athena was pensive. She hadn't taken her seat since it was announced that there was a Kanime in the woods. Out of fear, everyone had run for their dear lives and only the Warriors and Athena had stayed back. Damien was by her side but she wanted Alexander. When she realized that she had told him not to return, she felt her walls crumble. "Is she going to be alright?" Damien turned to her. "Let's hope that she is. I have told the warriors not to kill her. They can only shoot tranquilizers at her," Athena dropped into her seat and closed her eyes in relief. She had never given Heyli a little thought but now, she was worried about the girl. Ciara had been able to analyze her and from what she had been told, Heyli had a rough childhood. It wasn't her fault that the rogues had caught her and turned her to something as terrible as this and she wasn't going to watch her die for something she did not do or was not aware of. "When will they be returning?" "
Rise of Athena Chapter 179
Loki was finding it hard to pull the Kanime but he knew that he still had to do it no matter what. The warriors had left and he was able to put on the dark pants China had gotten for him. He had the backpack slung over his back. It was going to take a long time before he got to the river but he knew he had to do this for Heyli. He had no idea how to make her shift back to normal and it had him bothered. Well, he was going to wait and learn how she worked. Finally, he was standing on the small hill that led to the river. It was going to be difficult to pull her down so he just took a seat and hoped something would happen. He was really tired. He has spent all day being really busy and now, there was nothing he wanted to do right now than sleep. He lay his back against the trunk of a tree and shut his eyes. That was when he fell asleep. Slowly, Heyli was starting to feel herself again. For the past few hours, she had felt like she had muscle cramps. She
Rise of Athena Chapter 180
When he finally caught up with her, he grabbed her by the waist and began to pull her back to shore. She struggled for him to let her go but he was too strong for her and stubbornly, she let him take her. "What are you doing, Heyli!" Loki scolded them when they got to shore. She was still floating in the water as she was stark naked. Loki had also forgotten. "Swimming away. Isn't that what you all want?" She said in a gentle tone. Her eyes were red and swollen so he believed that she had been crying while swimming. "What are you talking about? Who asked you to swim away?" "Does it have to be said? It's already obvious. Nina already talked about a Kanime killing lots of people here and they would not waste time to mete out their anger and pain on me. I might be what I don't want but I don't want me dead!" Loki left her. "Nobody wants you dead. Even if they do, King Athena wouldn't." "Would you?" She asked. There was silence for a while and Heyli turn

"Who ended up winning?" Athena asked Damien as she shut the door to her study. Damien had just returned from the just wrapped up games. He looked worried and Athena knew why but she wasn't going to say anything regarding it. "Magenta team. Teal came second place and Orange third." I feel my heart sink. I want to laugh out loud but I stifle it enough to make it a cough. "Has Heyli returned?" He asked. "That's what is more important to me right now. I need to know that she's safe," "No, she hasn't." "Why have we not sent a search team, yet?" "Because Loki is with her." "How are we sure of that? We need to know where she is! I am really worried," "You know how they view Kanimes here? Did you hear that they had a Kanime attack one time and a lot of people were killed? They're going to mete out their anger on her and I don't want to take the risks. Loki is with her and she's safe." "You can make an announcement, pass a warning that she shouldn
Rise of Athena Chapter 182
Athena was breathing heavily now. She knew what he was doing and if this was how the wager was going to end, she was happy that he had won instead of her. He was really taking charge now. "Are you trying to clamp your legs together?" Alex asked in an authoritative tone. Athena shook her head. "No, Alex." "Good."He replied and took a few steps forward. "Pull the thin strap of your dress so I can see that beauty you have there," Damn. Nasty Alex was everything. She didn't know how he was able to do it but whatever he said, she took it immediately. She pulled down the first thin strap and when her lush breasts poured out of the dress, Alex sighed in wonder. He took a few steps closer and stood beside her desk. His lower lip had sunken into his mouth and his teeth clamped on it. "Fondle your nipples, Athena," Alex commanded. "Imagine it's me touching them. Close your eyes, Athena," "Alex," She whispered as her fingers pulled on her beaded nipples. Alex co
Rise of Athena Chapter 183
Alex had left Athena hanging and his stupid words before he left her on the table, unsatisfied and yearning for more was; "I told you that if I won, I'd make you do anything I want. I didn't say I was going to do anything with you." Blushing in anger, she climbed down the desk and put herself in order. She had shamelessly let him torture and told her what to do and now, she was here, all alone, wishing she could kill without having to be questioned. As soon as she was done dressing properly, she closed her curtains. Then she remembered that Heyli hadn't returned yet and she got really worried and felt slightly guilty for engaging in unscrupulous acts with Alex instead of worrying about Heyli. Well, it was all Alex's fault. She opened her office and locked it before taking a deep breath and going for the palace entrance. She was going to wait at the porch till Heyli returned safely and if she didn't, she was going to send out a team of warriors, making sure sh
Rise of Athena Chapter 184
As soon as Heyli left, Alex and Athena turned to Loki. "Take a seat with us," Alex said and gestured to the cane chairs arranged at the corner. They all walked there and each of them took their respective seats. Loki felt really relaxed as he had not taken a freaking breather the whole day. His arms rested on the arm rest of the chair and he felt like passing out there. "Tell us what happened," Athena said. "Well, I had been following them throughout their journey, tryin to stay hidden as much as possible. I had no idea she was shape shifting. In Fact, I didn't know when they got attacked by a senior team warrior so I didn't get there on time." "I heard that she was shot with a tranquilizer." "Yes, she was. To make her fall asleep because she killed someone," "What?!" Athena said and rose to her feet. "Calm down, Athena," "I wasn't informed!" Alex nodded and took her hand. He pulled her down to sit. "There's nothing you can do about it
Rise of Athena Chapter 185
Loki, after spending some time alone at the porch decided that maybe this was his destiny. To protect Heyli. As he walked into the palace, he remembered a certain time when he was told by the Shaman that he would be the protector of a great person and he was warned to guard his heart. Was it Heyli she talked about? Loki shook his head. He wasn't sure. Heyli didn't come close to being a great person. Yes, she must have been lucky to find favor in the King's sight, but that was all. "You're Loki?" A man standing at the foot of the steps said. Loki nodded. "Of course." The man nodded and gestured for him to take the staircase. "I'm the one showing you to your room. Were you informed by the King?" Loki nodded. "Yes, I was," The man nodded and followed Loki up the steps. He was a quiet old man, with receding gray hair and a hunched form. Loki wondered what he was still doing here as a porter. They walked through the corridor and past Heyli's roo

"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
Rise of Athena Chapter 227
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
Rise of Athena Chapter 226
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
