Rise of Athena Chapter 53
"I am shocked that you're back this early. You aren't back with your mate. Sad." Alexander said nothing in reply to what she had just said and Ciara could also read his countenance enough to see that he was visibly angry. She followed him through the wide corridor that had an array of rooms for guests. Alex was going towards his wing. "Have my council members prepared. We'd be having a meeting this evening." "Of course, I will. But I would like to tell you something." Ciara said as they both took another flight of stairs that led to the north wing of the palace. Alex stopped in his tracks and turned to fix a look on Ciara who looked as calm as ever. "What is it?" "We got an invitation early this week." Alex sighed. "I'm not ready to start my party season. You are well aware that I only party at the end of the year?" Ciara nodded. "I obviously am. But I have not failed to inform you. All you just have to do is turn the invitation down or not honor

"The Queen has been acting strange ever since that footman left." "She probably misses him. I saw the way she acted towards him and immediately knew that she was in love with him. But she'll never admit it." "She's a stubborn woman, I can tell. My mother used to be that way till she met my father." A dreamy expression followed after. "Till their death, their romance never died down." These were the kind of gossip that traveled around the servant quarters and never left the walls. Everyday, Athena appeared less interested and even in meetings regarding the preparations for her coronation, she never really paid attention. Sometimes, she'd be in a meeting and expect Alex to walk through the door and interrupt whatever they were saying with his own idea. Or worse, barge into her room just to talk about anything. She missed those times they'd actually get into an argument, missed when he'd randomly touch her and get a glare from her. Athena sighed. "Are yo

Everyone was at the receiving end of Athena's frustrations. Not even Damien was spared. The day before yesterday, she complained that the decorators were using bland colors and one shade lighter or darker than the color she had suggested. Damien had tried to explain to her that the shades she was requesting for was what they had done but he also had gotten his own share of beration. Yesterday, she had nearly slit the throat of the truck driver that had brought food supplies for the coronation. If it hadn't been for her guards who had held her back, she would have killed him. The order had been given by Damien prior to this event. He had asked the guards to hold her back if she tried to kill anyone. Well, they were bearing the brunt of it; they had been thrown into the dungeon for three days. Everyone knew that she was acting this way because of the footman who had left. Ever since his departure, her mood had been all over the place and no one dared to mess with her.

The D-Day was drawing near. He had spent most of his time in his chambers, drinking wine and brainstorming. He had asked that no one disturb him. How could anyone take his rightfully place? Not just anyone but a woman! It made bile rise in his throat. "A woman can not become the Alpha of Antarti. Not under my watch!" His fingers stroked his chin as he kept thinking about what to do to salvage this current situation. He needed to do something about it and from the looks of it, this new female Alpha was a powerful one. A knock sounded on his double mahogany doors. Any external noise seemed like a torment to him and he replied with a cry of livid anguish. "What the hell do you want? Why the hell are you disturbing my peace? I thought I asked everyone to give me some space?!" "My Lord," Came a muffled cry or discomfort but the man was too distracted to give listening ears. "You better leave me door this instant and keep relay any news to me later."

The coronation party was to take place in two days time and the ritual ceremony was to take place the next day. Antarti was begining to get visitors and most of them had come from far and wide. It was an event that had never happened in their lifetime and everyone wanted to witness the crowning of a female Alpha for the first time. The Palace's special invites had begun arriving in the flashiest of cars and also with vans bearing gifts for the new female King. Athena had made sure that there were more than enough rooms for the guests to spend for the whole time they'd be staying and she had made sure to welcome them all. But not in person. Damien and her other officials were made to stand at the entrance like the hosts and welcome them. Athena was no interested in showing herself to anyone. She felt like she was too big for that so she remained in her chambers while the nest seamstress and fashion designers in Antarti took her measurements and sewed her dresses

"Alex being here with us is going to be really stressful." Ian complained. Alex's guards were throwing in their luggages into a bullion van as they got ready to leave for Antarti. It was quite a distance and was going to take them about six hours before they got to Antarti. Ciara chuckled. "Why?" Ian stopped what he was doing and gave Ciara an incredulous look. "You haven't met Alex in love. He's a pain in the butt." "How do you know that? Alex has only been in love once." Ian shook his head. "That's not true. He had this intense feelings for this girl when we were younger." "For real? How was it?" "It was short lived. The girl was from another pack and her father who was the Alpha had come to visit his father. They stayed for a few months because her father was running from a set of people that wanted to kill him." "Wow, that's crazy. Who knew Alex was capable of falling in love?" "He's worse than an obsessed person. It can be draining at times."

Athena was a bit disappointed. She had expected to see Alex with these people but they weren't even the Alpha and the Luna! She made sure not to show her disappointment as she led them into the palace. They got to the hallway and the woman stopped and smiled at Athena. She was older. "We didn't get to introduce ourselves, your highness." She said, Her companion also stopped walking. Athena smiled. "Of course." "My name is Cecilia Vega and this is my husband, Daniel Vega. We are both the Alpha's special advisers, my husband being the Beta." "As you all know, my name is Athena, daughter of the great Alpha Caden. You both are warmly welcome." Cecilia took her hand and shook it. "I am so proud of you. Never has it been heard that a woman is ruling a pack. You have broken that embargo." "Of course, I have. It is not an easy task." Permit me to interrupt, Daniel jutted in. Both women turned to look at him. "I have not heard of you choosing a mate. It is a

Alexander was just getting used to his room. This room was below par and it smells musty. The first thing he did as soon as he entered the room was search for any fragrance to freshen the air of the room. He could smell different body scents from people who had used this room a long time and it was quite suffocating. For a brief moment, he regretted ever thinking about coming to this inn. He would have gone to the palace instead. But he was avoiding Athena and he wanted to surprise everyone. The price one had to pay for a big surprise. Alexander didn't find any air freshener around so he made a mental note to go down and tell the porter about it. The bed he was to lay on was stiff and very narrow. It wouldn't cover his body frame and his feet were definitely going to dangle off the bed. He was sacrificing his comfort for this. Well, it was only going to be for three days and he would be gone. Sighing, he pushed his luggages into the tiny wardrobe before

"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?"

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
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
