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

"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

"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

His groan could be heard from afar off. Damien and Daniel heard the grunt of pain as they drove to the palace, Ciara also heard it from where she was in the forest. They all got worried. Recognizing the groan to belong to their Alpha, Ciara sent her men off and drove in the other direction where tje cliff was located. She needed to find Alexander and see if he was alright. "Did you hear that?" Zeus asked as he stood before the window. "Yes, my Lord. Sounds like a wounded beast." The clouds were still gathering fiercely and the wind blew against the window to create a rhythm. Prometheus shut the curtains and led Zeus to the couch. "Whatever is going on isn't ordinary," Zeus said as he was deep in thought. "Of course, it isn't. The witch must have done something to cause this chaos." "If it is she, then I have no problem. I'm sure it is to our benefit. She already promised." Prometheus nodded but he didn't believe a word that woman said. He kept

From where she sat at the porch of the second storey, Athena saw the trucks that had driven out come back in and immediately, she stood to her feet. Her warriors began to jump out of the trunk and soon, Damien and Daniel were hurrying out of the car and into the palace. In order not to look like she was tense or nervous, Athena maintained her sitting position. Damien had seen her so she knew he was going to come up to meet her and like she had predicted, he did so. "My Lord," Damien began as he came to stand by her side. Daniel stood at the door with hands folded behind him. "Something is wrong." "From the nature of the weather, I am well aware that something is wrong. Why are you all back by this time?" "It seems like the portals weren't all closed. Damien here told me that his Alpha didn't know the strength of the spirits and if there were other portals. We discovered late that there was a portal at the main gates." Athena rose from her seat slowly. "An
Rise of Athena Chapter 74
Crickets chirped and the night wind blew as thick, dark smoke rose in the air. The cave was pitch black and dead bodies lay on the ground, their blood, washed away by the lightning that had eaten them up. The trucks that had crashed against one another had water and oil trickling from it and onto the ground to form a pool of water coated with an oily rainbow membrane. From one of the mangled vehicles, a door fell to the ground with a crash and someone stepped out of the truck looking eerie. It was one of the warriors. He wasn't dead after all but he had a deathly look and was pale to the core. The skin surrounding his eyes had traces of blood and his hair had thinned so noticeably. Snarling, it began to move away from the truck in the northern direction that led to the entrance of the forest and soon, other similar looking men who had been warriors pushed out of the trucks as they followed the trail of the first person. It was nearing evening and there was no sign

Trevor knew he must travel as fast as he could to beat time. So as soon as he was out of the Antarti gates, he began to run with great speed, whizzing past buildings and structures trees as he left raised dust in his wake. He traveled through the darkness and his eyes were his only source of enhanced vision. In less than two hours, he had gotten to his destination. He stopped when he got to the entrance of the forest of desolation, breathing heavily and trying to catch his breath. He had to be careful while entering this forest or he would be eaten up by wraiths and evil spirits. He had no idea where the cave was located but he knew he was going to have to try his luck. He looked around him before proceeding into the forest. It was dark and crickets chirped, followed by the croak of frogs in the nearby streams. Trevor pushed past bushes as he made his way into the deepest parts of the forest. As he moved deeper into the forest, he felt like things weren't as bad

"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

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
