Rise of Athena Chapter 203
"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
Rise of Athena Chapter 204
Loki stood here, frozen for a moment as he tried to make sense of what was happening before him. "What did Bianca tell you?" "Exactly what I'm asking you. She's carrying your baby?" Heyli asked. Her voice sounded so harsh. "You shouldn't listen to her," Loki said and walked to his closet to take out a shirt. "We've not confirmed if the baby is mine, yet," Heyli laughed. "Wow. That's terribly great. So you pretend that you and Bianca aren't a thing so you can also have a thing with me? I am familiar with your game, Loki," "I told you the truth. And what's with me wanting to be a thing with you?" He laughed as he shrugged into his shirt. Heyli felt a pang of pain in her chest but she stood tall. She wasn't going to let him see or read anything or even hear her heartbeat. "Bianca says you like me." "Heyli, Bianca is just trying to brainwash and confuse you. Stop listening to her, please. I beg of you," "Why did you let me kiss you back there?" "It was a mi

"I can't believe we are attending the Royal Hunting Ceremony!" Kayla squealed as she sat on Heyli's bed. Melodie was helping Heyli pack up for the trip and Heyli was going through a catalog. She was seated at her vanity table and looking quite worried. "When is Nina going to arrive?" Kayla shrugged. "She said she was going to come so let's hope she actually does." Heyli sighed. "I am more worried about her coming than this whole trip. I need to make things up to her." "Well, I am more concerned about that kiss you shared with Loki," Melodie sang. Kayla glared at her. "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, Heyli," Heyli shook her head and dropped the catalog on the vanity table before standing to her feet. "I need to go check. Nina must have arrived and she's probably confused on how to get to my room," Kayla and Melodie watched their worried friend leave. "She looks different. Not herself." Melodie said. "Must be the kiss. Nothing else.
Rise of Athena Chapter 206
"Have you noticed the strained relationship between your sister and Loki lately?" Loki asked as he stood in front of the car they were going to be leaving in. Athena was seated inside the car already and she poked her head out to see what he was talking about. Heyli was walking to the bus with Kayla and Melodie as she had decided to go with her friends instead of following the Royal entourage. They were talking quite freely and she searched for Loki. He was speaking with one of the warriors. "What did you notice?" Athena finally asked. "They've not been talking a lot. One time, I was in the living room with Heyli and Loki came in to ask if she was going to camp with them on the night before the trip. She outrightly ignored him, stood to her feet and walked out of the room. Loki didn't seem surprised. He looked like he has been asking her this same question several times and when I asked him, he said she was probably mad at him," "Mad at him about what?" Athena asked.
Rise of Athena Chapter 207
Heyli had been able to ignore the looks people were giving her but Nina seated here? That was going to be like walking into hell. She was staring directly at me and that made her uncomfortable as hell. Melodie, who had just come up behind her, saw Nina. "Oh, shit." She muttered. "Hey, Nina," Kayla greeted as she dropped into the space beside her. Nina was seated close to the window and she was going to be in the middle and it was a good thing. At least, Nina wouldn't be glaring daggers at her. "Hey, Kayla," Nina replied in the most unconcerned voice ever and now, Heyli was starting to believe she was causing a rift between the three friends. Come to look at it. Things used to run smoothly between them all before Heyli came into the book and it was actually making her feel guilty right now. "Hey, Nina," Heyli nodded in acknowledgment but Nina turned her face away like she didn't see Heyli. Heyli shrugged and sat before Kayla who nudged her not to feel bad about it.
Rise of Athena Chapter 208
Athena was asleep through out the journey. Alex had no idea why but he let her sleep on his lap as he watched the car whizz past landscapes. His mind went back to last year's hunting ceremony and how he had been unjustly awarded the prize of the third place when he should have come first just because some fraudulent people had carried out fraudulent activities. He knew it wasn't something he should be bothered about but it was Lawrence. Lawrence was his pure enemy and had used the fact that he was able to rig the votes in his favor to mock Alex. Alex had promised himself this year, he wasn't going to make that possible and he was going to make sure that Lawrence was exposed and banished from the Royal Hunting Ceremony forever. He had no idea how Lawrence was able to pull that off. It surprised him that he was able to somehow bribe the officials and make them call the wrong winners. Ciara and Daniel were also shocked and wanted to dispute the result but Alexander told th
Rise of Athena Chapter 209
Heyli had never felt so uncomfortable her whole life. She sat by the window and tried as much as she could to distract herself by looking out of the window but she couldn't. Nina's presence made her really uncomfortable and no matter how hard Melodie tried to make her forget that Nina was actually seated by them, Heyli still felt her presence heavily. "How long does this journey take?" Melodie shrugged. "I have no idea. This is my first time on this trip," "About eight hours," Kayla replied. She had just woken up from her short nap. "We've been on the road for three hours. We have five hours left," "Are you hungry?" Melodie asked Heyli who nodded. "I didn't have anything to eat for breakfast this morning because I was too excited for this journey. I would have eaten something if I knew," "At least we came with enough food to last us and we're also going to stop at one of the roadside restaurants to get snacks or something," Kayla said and pulled out the large duff
Rise of Athena Chapter 210
The bus behind the car Athena and Alexander sat in screeched to a halt and they both turned to see that people were talking in loud voices. "What the hell is happening?" Athena asked as she squinted. Alexander asked the driver to halt and as soon as he did, the doors were unlocked and they stepped out. They stood, watching to see what was about to happen. People were pushing out of the bus and yelling at the top of their voice for the others to get out and when they saw Melodie and Kayla holding Heyli on both arms, she went into a full blown panic. "She's about to shift, Athena. She's about to shift!" Alex yelled and immediately ran towards the bus. He knew how she looked when she was about to shift and he snatched her from the girls' hold. "Y'all, go back to your buses. You're safe!" But no one listened to him. They were filled with so much curiosity as they wanted to see how things were going to turn out. Heyli's temperature was so high that when Athena touched her

"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

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
