Rise of Athena Chapter 230
"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

The Middle 1880sThe cry of a newborn child was heard from Luna's bed chambers."At last! After nearly fifty years, finally, I have my heir." The Alpha Caden said.He shoved everyone out of his way and went to his wife's bed chambers."Where is he? Where is my son?" His beta came forward and began."The Luna is health--""I don't care. I have waited fifty years. Where is my son?!""Alpha Caden--"He impatiently shoved the beta out of the way when he spotted the midwife carrying a bundle."Let me see him.""A-alpha he-she-it--" the woman stuttered."Out with it!" He roared. By now the midwife was trembling. ad mist the chaos a quiet unwavering voice said."We had a girl," she said, her lips trembling with fear. He turned to face his Luna."What do you mean we had a girl?" He asked, looking at the Luna suspiciously"The child I gave birth to is a girl." She repeated.He went white as it dawned on him."Since the beginning of time heir after heir has ruled the Antarti pack, never has the

“Mother! Mother! Mother!" Nine-year-old Athena squealed as she ran around the house."Athena. Sit down." Brenda laughed at the little girl's excitement."But don't you see? it's my birthday I can't possibly be calm." The little girl made it sound like a taboo."Yes. Yes. I know. A nine-year-old isn't a baby anymore.""I thought when one turns six is when they aren't a baby anymore." Cassandra fixed a stare on her."Did you lie to me mother?"" Oh, dear! The pie is burning."" But there is no pie."It was too late since Brenda had already made her mistake.Later in the evening, Cassandra is letting out sobs hiding her face in her palm."You mean you aren't my real mother?""I'm sorry, but it's true. But I will always see you and treat you as my own.""No! I will just continue to pretend that you are my mother and that she doesn't exist since she was so wicked to abandon me.""Athena.""No! No! No! I hate her. I hate her. I hate her."And she ran up to her room crying.Brenda couldn't f

Athena close the eyelids of the woman who had raised and nurtured her. And placed her body in a carriage and rode the carriage.And rode to the place her birth mother was murdered. The place where she was given birth to. The place where she would bury her mother. The place they had run away from.A place that was supposed to be home.After a slow journey of seven hours, she decided to stop for a bit by a pond so the horses could rest and water. She found a nice patch of grass for the horse and she lowered herself under an apple tree after eating some of its fruits. Knowing the well-trained battle horses were watching her, she drifted off to a strange and alluring sleep.She was eight again in her bedroom with her mother."Mother?""Yes, my dear.""Why does everyone hate me?""They don't hate you. You're different. You're special."Then she was her twelve-year-old self midst hundreds of people watching a beautiful set afire.Then she was an adult in a field of roses, And then in the d

ANTARTI PACK.There was chaos everywhere. The Alpha had been murdered in cold blood. It was unheard of in the history of the Antarti pack. And if an Alpha could have been killed with all the security around him, then no one was safe. Athena finished burying her mother where she requested. It was easy since no one was paying attention to her.After the odd man had left she decided to heed her birth mother she sent a telegram to her best man to acquire as many soldiers as he could and send them to Antarti pack ahead of her camouflaged.She had already seen about fifteen of them spread out amongst the people.She lingered around people long enough to understand that the first son the Alpha had sired died in childbirth and the second wife he took after the king's execution had given birth to another son who was now nowhere to be found since the incident happened.Athena knew the people had been told the first child died during childbirth. The funny part was how she was being referred to

"Kill him."He hadn't seen this coming, hadn't expected it at all, at least not this way.He had always thought his cára would be one of the official's daughters and was just waiting for the sextuplets to turn seventeen so that he would be sure which was his future Luna.He did not expect his cára to be someone he has never heard of or seen judging by her beauty, regalia, composure, and silent demeanor. He almost believed what crazed fellows who refer to themselves as scientists say about another world the same as ours but very different in its entirety because this enchantress must have fallen from there.When he had made her acquaintance for the first time he had been baffled by her. We're she a human she would have cowered in fear at the events that had happened or at least show some sign of bewilderment, and if she were a werewolf she would have immediately felt the mating bond as he had, but from all signs, she didn't feel a single thing -except scorn may be- toward him till when

Antarti packShe heard someone rhythmically tap twice at her door."Come."The door was opened by the footman who announced that the gamma requested an audience with her.The second time the door opened and slowly closed she heard him limping in on one good leg and a wooden one. She didn't see the need to turn to face him, she already knew all she wanted to know about him. "My Queen. I must first apologize for the unwelcome atmosphere you were faced with when you arrived. You see, never in the history of our kind has a-""A what?"She cut him off daring him to complete his sentence."A…. a unique person like yourself rule a pack, and Antarti pack, the giants of packs as we are usually referred to as, is just ah…. Uncertain as to how to help you in order not to wear you out.""You think me incapable," she asked, looking at him intensely"No..no uh…yes.""I will rule my people as I deem fit I don't need your advice. Do you have any other thing you think my attention should be brought to

“Jealous now are we," he smirked liking that she was jealous of someone she doesn’t know"Out.""What? You're not throwing any more knives?" He feigned surprise."No.""And here we are. Back to mono wordings.""Out.""No. You sit down it's time you listen to what I have to say."She remained in her standing position."Very well, stand if you wish. I had a dream I saw someone I assume was your mother. She led me to you."She waited for him to continue as she recalled her dream."It was strange. She knew my name and she was burning in the fire." he continued"What?""It wasn't burning her though. She seemed immune. I knew it wasn't a normal dream so I followed it and it led me to you.""You were led by your dream?" she asked. Surprised that someone would be stupid enough to follow a dream"I know it sounds silly. I was even asked if my long-lost brothers will come to shove me into a well since I'm Joseph." He laughed."You're not.""I know," he replied"It doesn't make sense," she said,

"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

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

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
