Rise of Athena chapter 26
The worse part about hearing that was it didn't sound unlike her. "I am sorry, I will inquire within the palace if there's any news." "She doesn't deserve you." "You're wrong. I have seen the goodness in her its buried deep but its there. If anything it is I who doesn't deserve her." "How long do you plan on digging?" "Until we are both covered in it."She looked at him and saw that he was hopeless. "I have seen you pass this place twice. Where are you going?" He had passed the place at least five times but he held his tongue on shame. "I'm not sure yet. I'm looking for someone," "Whom?" "That's the problem, I don't know." "Oh right the person who almost killed her." "Do you wish he had achieved his purpose?" "I don't wish anything. Wishes are words wasted on nothingness." it was sad to see such a soul already so cryptic. "I can help you find him and take him down." "How exactly?" Alex looked at her petite form skeptically.
Rise of Athena Chapter 27
As Alpha, he was raised to believe every good deed any of his people should do reflected on him and the bad ones were as though he himself had done it, so as they continued to walk while fiona stopped to ask questions occasionally Alex was filled with shame and guilt on Athena's behalf. So the man she had ordered to be tortured and murdered was someone's family. Not that anyone that thought he was a loner cared for by no one. But now that he was side by side with his daughter seeing her pain, it was different. The man Athena had ordered to be killed if only to make an example of him, now he cant be so sure that this girl wasn'teven the one to climb to window and aim an arrow specially carved for Athena. She had orphaned this girl, and wasn't bothered about it. Heck she had even probably forgotten. Was that why her mother's spirit haunted her? Or what if, it was her mother's spirit that tormented her and pushed her to do the things she does, who's to say the incident he witnessed was
Rise of Athena Chapter 28
The entire assembly of cowards went quite, an outsider was voicing out crucial problems they were too scared to admit."You really don't know when to stop do you?" Damien started to walk towards him. Were you no a guest here I would have severed your head before the echoes of your words died down. One more foot out of turn and your existence will cease to be a problem.""Damien, calm yourself." Athena surprised everyone with her calm demeanor. "As you have mentioned, Alex is guest here, we and we do not sever the heads of our guest no matter how tempting it maybe, rather we hear them out and listen to the reason behind false accusations." She turned her head to Alex as she said the last words."During my search for the traitor amongst us I realised that perhaps the person's anger might have been justified.""Are you on the side of treason?" Damien was determined to get Alex out of the way."I am of the side of justice and truth.""So who is unjust and a liar then? You dare call the A
Rise of Athena Chapter 29
"What?" "You heard me." Alex shook off the clean cloth the physician had placed in his arm. Werewolves recover with speed but when they are hurt with fire it takes more time. That was why one of the worse threat given to a werewolf would be a threat of being burnt. Like Atheba's mother had been. "You can leave." He repeated. "I know I didn't have much of a choice when she sent me here, but I'm a doctor I can't leave you like this." "Leave." "But-but your hand. The burn. The Alpha." "My hand my choice don't you think?" He smiled warmly at the confused man. The man had left after that and now that he was sure she cared, he had a plan. No doubt Athena didn't expect his hand in the same condition when he had burst into the meeting. Funny how Damien thought he could fight him. If he used his strength a single blow would take him to his knees. It wasn't that he was feeling kind or forgiving, it wasn't time yet, and more than that he wanted Athena to b

I just checked underneath my shoe and I don't see any organ of yours beneath it.The good doctor will vouch for that but who will vouch for you?You are the one suffering the pain, not I. When your body starts to weaken as the good doctor fears it will, don't say I didn't warn youHe noticed she didn't make anymore comments regarding the name calling. So she was fine with it so long the evidence was destroyed. Interesting.I have a suggestion, let the who caused the pain be the one to take it away.Have you trampled upon so many hearts you can no longer differentiate which mine is? (Not in the literal sense)I am no physician. What could I possibly hope to do.I was wondering how you were standing without your heart to pump blood, the clarification was welcome.Just come and offer moral support, the hallways are usually empty around 6:30 that is in a few minutes time, that's when most of the servants go to the pub, only ones available are the ones fucking their brains out.Moral suppor

"Of course." she said dryly."Tell me Athena, were you a bully or bullied?" He pretended not to notice the bitterness dripping from her reply when he mentioned Ciara. While he entertained her jealously rehearsing fiona, Ciara was his best friend he wouldn't want to ever choose between Athena and she even though he and Ciara knew that undoubtedly he would choose Athena, he prayed she did put him in a position like that, he feared it was highly likely."Have you ever wondered if there could be a third category."She twirled the ring around her fingers as she spoke."Enlighten me." She didn't reply him immediately, the way she focused on the ring it seemed her mind had wandered off some far away place, unlike he did, she didn't smile however, her expression was focused as she scrunched her brows together. The sight was so endearing to him he almost didn't give her a jolt back to reality."Where art thou.""Memory lane." She dropped her hands to her side before sitting on the bed, as she

"I'm not a danger to you.""You can't even get up on your own so yes I know, its not easy to use reason after decades of using impulse." She slid off him and he listened to the sound of his body crying. And imaginary sound but nonetheless.He resisted the urge to tell her that, not just when he wasn't speaking of when he was impaired alone, he is never a danger to her. Instead, his mouth opened of its own volition and a sudden question came out. "How are old are you?" She looked suspiciously at him and before she could say anything, he faked a groan."Is it your hand?""Oh nevermind, its nothing." He made sure to make it sound like he was in pain."Why did you ask me here if you planned on lying to me."Her words hit him deeper than she knew. "You're right, I was hoping you could distract me from this excruciating torture.""The torture you continue to go through because of your stubbornness." Well look where it got him, he was not mad at it. At all.She sighed as if she was frust
Rise of Athena Chapter 33
"Everything was fascinating. From the way the men laughed and threw arrows, dueled and roared around bonfires, into the dark skies, stars scattered across like pieces of glitters on a taffeta material. It was all fascinating to me. I was a young girl who had never really stepped her feet outside, not to talk more of being around so much people," "I started paying attention to my surroundings and I noticed that I could only see bare-chested, tall men who moved around with glistening loins. I couldn't hide any longer because I had already been spotted. Heck, I didn't even remember to run and hide. So I was pulled into the crowd of men, all bubbling thick with testosterone; so much vigor and strength. I was asked why I came out at this time that children and women were forbidden to be outside. Too young and having no idea what to say, I kept quiet. Well, Reynold Griffith whom you so much respect took an interest in me and asked that the men leave me be. He took me to his tent, sa

"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
