Rise of Athena Chapter 64
Ciara, who had been anticipating the dinner, whined. She had promised the women she had been speaking with a few moments ago that she would be sitting with them at the dinner table. "But I told these women I'd be joining them after the service. I already did." Alexander wasn't even listening to her. He began to walk out of the temple and the couple followed after him. Ciara made sure to ignore her husband as they walked out of the nearly empty temple. "Where's the car?" Alexander asked amidst the noise from the crowd of people who were watching the carriage leave the temple gates. "The first line!" Daniel called out. Alexander nodded and turned to look at the carriage and as it passed by him, his eyes caught Athena's and he drew in a sharp breath and turned away immediately. He was sure that Athena had seen him because her eyes widened and she craned her neck. On the other hand, Athena, while the foot men hurried the horse out of the temple gates, stared
Rise of Athena Chapter 65
Athena knew she had seen someone familiar as the carriage drove her out of the temple. The familiar blue eyes, chiseled and clean shaven jaw and the stance. It had to be him. Maybe it wasn't him. Maybe it was someone else who looked like him or a spirit. They had just arrived at the palace and once they had been assisted out of the carriage, Damien went over to the guards to give them instructions. As for Athena, she proceeded into the palace with two of her special guards flanking her. This had been done to protect her from any sort of attacker as these were delicate times. "I want you all to be alert. Remember the man who came here early this morning?" They all nodded. "I don't know if he's telling the truth or if he's a spy or if he's using this as a sort of distraction. I just want you all to be alert, okay?" "Yes, sir." They chorused. Damien made sure to look around for any suspicious activities before proceeding into the palace. The table was al

A car cruised down the street before it stopped in front of a shop. A tall man wearing a baseball hat was let out and he entered the shop before the car continued moving. "Are you going to keep ignoring me for the whole day?. Alexander is no longer here to be an intermediary." Daniel complained. Ciara was the one driving and she felt her fist clench on the steering wheel. She had changed from her very beautiful gown to combat outfits and boots, thanks to Daniel who had kept spare clothing in the car trunk for situations like these. She wasn't going to thank him. "I have no idea, Daniel. Whatever information we'd be communicating to each other shouldn't exceed the duty we have to carry out." Daniel nodded and folded his hand. If she was going to ignore him, then so be it. "So what's the plan?" Ciara asked. "I thought we already discussed the plan with Alexander? What other plan?" "The plan after the main plan. Don't you think people would notice that I'm
Rise of Athena Chapter 67
Few days ago, a few people had gone missing and the culprit had made sure to pick the right set of people; Orphans, people living alone and mentally deranged people that moved around without supervision. Zeus had commanded his men to abduct three different sets of people as the witch had instructed. He had no idea what she needed it for but if it was going to make him take his rightful place in Antarti, he was ready to sacrifice the whole humans. Nobody knew he was a werewolf. He had concealed it so well that it was hard to identify who he really was. During the time he had first come into this civilization, humans had been the ones to dominate this place. But he had come here, gathered rogues and omegas and told them about his promised position as King in Antarti. He had mastered the art of manipulation and this way, he had convinced the men that he was the rightful King and told them how he had been maltreated by the people and treated like he didn't matter. H
Rise of Athena Chapter 68
Throughout the evening, guests talked in low tones and in whispers. And as much as Athena tried to tune out their voices, she just couldn't help but listen to what they were saying. "Isn't it strange how a woman is becoming Queen? I'm not surprised that all this is happening." A woman had said as Athena was about to enter into her study. She had stopped to eavesdrop on their conversation even though it was in no way her business. "What's happening? I've been hearing a lot of things since this morning. What's going on? Everyone refuses to speak." A sigh followed before the first speaker spoke. "Well, it is heard that there might be a war. My husband was talking with one of his very good friends. Alpha of Blood moon pack and they said something in regards to how a woman King is a taboo. It seemed like in the past, a woman had tried to become King. She was killed. He thinks that's what's going to happen." "What did I hear about the rise of a witch?" "I have no ide
Rise of Athena Chapter 69
"It feels good to be back here!" Zeus cried out as the truck zoomed into the wide open gates of Antarti. All had gone as planned. "I remember my last time here. I left because I was seen as weak and incapable of ruling this great Kingdom." He said with disdain and pure hate in his voice. "But now, they have made a woman, a weaker vessel, their King. How abominable? How could they ever choose a strange woman over their rightful heir?!" Zeus' right hand man, Prometheus, who was seated beside him and trying to endure his master's eerily loud voice, leaned towards him and whispered into his ears. "I heard that she is the King's first and legitimate daughter, my Lord." Zeus cast a dirty glance his way and the man cleared his throat and composed himself while trying to look away from his master. "You better shut up when I am speaking. I remember commanding you to speak only when I asked you to. Why do you defy me?" "I am sorry, my Lord. It is my fault that I have chosen
Rise of Athena Chapter 70
"What did she say?" Damien asked Daniel as soon as he finished communicating with his wife. Daniel turned to him. "Things are getting fucked up as time goes on. There's a spirit already in Antarti but she doesn't know which." Damien's defenses rose. "How the hell did it happen, then?! I thought your King shut all the portals?!" "He didn't shut the portals. He blocked it with talismans. We don't know how powerful the spirits are! And don't you yell at me. We are here to help even if we have more knowledge about what's going on than y'all, we do not know it all." Damien sighed and slapped his hand on his face. He was obviously frustrated from all that was happening. He had planned for today and tomorrow to be one of the greatest days in the Antarti history but all these going on? He hadn't planned for it. "Okay, fine. I'm sorry. I just got worked up and all. What do we do?" Daniel nodded. He understood Damien's plight. "I have to commune with my Alpha. He
Rise of Athena Chapter 71
"I am going to need one more person to be used. Now that the evil girl is dead, they are incomplete." Witch had said before sending out a few men to find someone. In less than three hours, the warriors that had been sent out returned with a sickly man. He had been found along the road and was at the point of death. Thinking these warriors had come to save him, it was shocking for him to be brought here. "Why am I here? Why am I here?!" The man cried out wildly. He was thrown on the ground and he stood on his knees, eyes wide and frantic and they fleeted over the other people standing there and watching him. "What is going on?" The man stood up and grabbed one of the abductees. He shook the man wildly but the man only burst into tears. The witch was irritated by this display so she turned and immediately began the rituals. It was almost evening and she needed to be done before the full moon. Her next destination after this sacrifice was Antarti and she neede

"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
