Rise of Athena Chapter 196
Heyli was in her study when a knock sounded on the door. She raised her head, wondering who would be knocking by this time of the day. Damien was out with some of the council members for a meeting in the neighboring pack which I had refused to attend, Heyli was out with Loki and an instruction had been passed to the maids not to disturb my peace. "Alexander, what do you want?" He was the only one around. She was sure of it. The door was pushed open to admit him in. His hair was wet and he looked like he had showered. "Why are you in my office instead of in your room, cleaning your hair?" Not minding if he was looking wet, he took a seat on the long couch in the room and lay his head on the arm rest. His legs were too long for the chair so they dangled as he watched her. He looked like a little boy who had just done something mischievous and was waiting for his mother to scream and make him laugh. "Why didn't you tell me about the waterfall in Antarti? I just discovered it t
Rise of Athena Chapter 197
Alex kissed her again. He kissed her with all fervency, pulling her to him and moaning. He didn't have to say anything. Athena believed him. She believed she could converse through kissing and that was what they were both doing. Alex finally released her and kissed her on the forehead. "If we continue kissing, we might never go to the waterfall," Athena nodded and leaned up to kiss him again but he moved his head away. He laughed. "We'd do all of that and more at the waterfall, okay?" Athena nodded. "I'll send one of the maids to prepare a picnic basket and blankets. Did you find a place we might sit?" Alex nodded. "Yes, I did. There's a cave very close to the waterfall. We can lay there and listen to the sound of the water. We can see it, too," Athena nodded. "Alright. Meet me outside. Is it accessible by vehicles?" "Not really. We can walk there. It's not that far." In thirty minutes, they were both set. Alexander took the picnic basket from her hand and took her hand. As th

"I can't climb with a dress, you dolt!" Athena screamed as she hung off one of the dents in the rock. Alex was down below and he was laughing so hard that Athena wished she could drop and become a mangled mess so he would feel guilty for putting her through this. "I trust you!" Alex said out loud. "You're going to be in situations like this that don't favour you. I trust you enough, sweetheart!" Athena ignored him and focused on climbing. Her breathing was heavy and her hand and back hurt. Even her knees had joined in and she was aware that soon, her other joints would join in against her. She craned her head to see that she was almost done with climbing. So she used that optimism and continued her journey. "I trust you, baby! I trust that you'll get there." Athena ignored him and took her final lunch. When she got to the top of the rock, she fell flat on her back to catch her breath. The sun was out and today seemed like it was going to be a good day. Smiling in mischief,

Once Alexander was done massaging her hand, he looked at her. "Still feeling any pain?" Athena shook her head. "No, I'm not.".then she turned to look at the waterfall as water splashed against the rock. "This is a beautiful sight to watch, Alex. Thank you for bringing me here," "You should apologize, too," Alex added. Athena turned to look at him. "Why?" "You didn't want to come because you felt it wasn't important enough." Leaning against him, she stroked his chin. "I'm sorry, Alex. I'm sorry for making that statement. It was insensitive." Alex nodded. "It's alright. At least, you are here now and you can see that it is important after all," "Of course." "Come here," Alex commanded and she did. He spread his legs to gain her easy access and she rested against his chest. They sat in silence, watching as the water splashed against the rocks and fell downwards into a small pool. "Where's the water coming from?" Athena asked as she raised her head to look at him. He kissed

Alex, when he finally surfaced, glared at her. "You're going to regret this!" He called out from the top of his voice. Athena burst into laughter. "Of course, I know." Alex glared playfully at her and swam a little before turning back to look up at her. "What are you waiting for? To be pushed?" Athena looked down at the water. She could see jagged rocks at the edge of the water and somehow, she became nervous. How had she pushed Alex so spontaneously that she hadn't seen that dangerous spot? They were lucky that he hadn't hit the wrong place. Athena could imagine his brains being washed away by the water stained with blood. "I can't," She replied. "Why?" "Those sharp rocks. What if I hit my head and die?" Alex facepalms and bursts into laughter. "You literally pushed me. Why didn't you think of that then?" Alex was looking at her. She looked like a little child and was absolutely adorable. "I didn't see it. I'm just seeing it now." "Do you know how to swim?
Rise of Athena Chapter 201
Alexander cradled her in his arms and slapped her cheek lightly but there was no response from her. Alex was getting worried. He lay her gently on the ground and lowered his head onto her bare chest. She was breathing quite fine but she was still unconscious. Then he placed both hands on her chest and began to push. Water spurted out of her mouth in small quantities and after a while, she coughed violently and her face reddened as her body jerked upwards. He immediately lifted her up in his laps. "Athena?" She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Alex before looking around her. She sat up slowly and Alex's hand didn't leave her. "What happened?" Alex sighed and sat back on the floor. "You swam towards the waterfall even after I asked you not to go there! You nearly died!" Athena seemed to still be disoriented. She looked down at her naked body. "How did I get naked?" "You shape shifted," Athena's eyes widened in surprise. "That's not true, Alex. I don't
Rise of Athena Chapter 202
Athena began by untying the ropes around his waist that were used to hold his shorts. She has no idea where the confidence was coming from but she felt it had been fuelled by the brief caresses he had given her. His thumb brushed her nipples as she worked on taking off his shorts and she moaned and threw her head back. Alexander brought her hand back to his shorts and she finally untied it and his shorts dropped to the ground, revealing him in his naked glory. Athena felt her breath quicken. She had never been attracted to a male body before but he scared her shitless. She stared at him for a long time, marking those crevices, the dips, the taut muscles and the slight hair that peppered on his chest. She placed her hand on his chest and felt his rapid heartbeat. She could also hear it vividly. She could hear how quick his breath was and it was vivid, like he was breathing directly on her. Her hand grabbed onto his waist and pulled him to her. She looked down at his p

"What papers, Heyli," Kayla asked. She hadn't forgotten that Loki talked about her signing some papers and she had been meaning to ask Heyli that question for a while now. They were just stepping out of Kayla's house and Heyli had met her mother for the first time. She thought the woman was a nice woman. Fashionable and really beautiful. A total opposite of Kayla. Kayla was more of a warrior though she had that facial beauty of her mother. "Uhm, Athena wants me to be her adoptive sister," "But that's not possible." Kayla asked in confusion. "I've only heard of parents adopting children." "Same here," Heyli shrugged. "I'm guessing she was able to manipulate it in her favor due to her status," "That's right," Kayla nodded. "Well, I hope it works between you both. People have spoken about the King as someone who's cold hearted and emotionless. Is she that way?" "I used to think she was but recently, she has been softening towards me and I got to understand her bette

"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

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
