Rise of Athena Chapter 82
"Don't you think Athena was quite harsh with her judgment this morning?" Daniel asked as he watched his wife change from dress to dress. "No, I don't think so," Ciara said and removed the third dress she had tried on. She had come with a full trunk and was still searching for the best. Daniel was already tired because she kept finding fault even after he told her that the dress was nice. Every dress she had put on was equally beautiful and he had no idea why she was making it a big deal. "I think she put the woman in her rightful place. A lot of women have chosen to take her for granted because she's a crown king. Bitter people." Daniel sighed. "You're right though. No offense but I feel she should have handled it better." Ciara flung the fourth dress on a Chippendale chair before bending over to pick another one. "How so?" "Well, she should have just warned the woman or something. It's that simple." Ciara gave him a stern look. "If you keep giving people the a
Rise of Athena Chapter 83
Alexander was waiting for the right time to strike. He had been sitting out here for a while, watching people talk about the upcoming ceremony but that wasn't his business. His aim here was to monitor a bunch of men who stood around like they were tourists. These were spies and he was sure of it. They probably came with Zeus. Just as he had that train of thought, Zeus stepped out of the inn and walked to one of the men after looking around. Alexander immediately concealed himself from being seen as he pretended to be reading a newspaper. He could hear their conversation loud and clear and it went thus: "How are things coming?" "We already sent a few of our men to act as guards. They snuck their way in and have successfully entered." "Good. Now, I want you to find one of our guards amongst them. Give this to them. Instructions have been written inside the package. Tell them to make sure it is followed or there will be consequences." "Yes, sir." The guard s
Rise of Athena Chapter 84
As soon as Alex took his last sip from his cup, he dumped it on the table and slapped the newspaper on the wooden table before leaving his seat. One of the spinsters who had been eating and watching him immediately waved as he walked past her but that's none of his business. He gave her a quick, distracted nod as he entered the inn. "He's so rude." The lady said with a look of disgust as she talked to her friend. Alex slowed down once he saw that Zeus had stopped in front of the counter and was talking to the receptionist. Acting like he was just looking around, he focused his attention on a painting of the moon on his other end and once he saw that Zeus already left the counter, he began his movement again. Climbing up the stairs, he noticed that the inn was quiet. A lot of people had gone into their rooms and were preparing and one of the ladies around had nearly bumped into him as she rushed out of her room with a dress. "I'm sorry!" She exclaimed, eyes bright
Rise of Athena Chapter 85
"We've finally brought them all out. They've been locked up in the dungeon." To that, Athena sighed in relief. She was in her study. Infact, she had been there all day and had been pensive. Now that Damien had reported a successful extraction, she was relieved. At least, she could enjoy the evening of her coronation without having to worry. But still, she was going to make sure that security was tight. "How about the kitchen?" Athena asked. "We also found him, too." Damien replied and produced a bottle. "He had already taken the bottle out of the parcel when Ciara caught him." "I need to know what's in there. Is he still alive?" "Ciara killed him immediately." "Why?" Damien shrugged. "I have no idea. I could summon her if you want. I'm guessing she had her reasons for killing him." "But I asked that everyone be kept alive for torturing and questioning?" "Yes, you did. I'll call her." Just then, Ciara knocked on the door and poked her h

"Daniel! Quick before our tables get filled up!" Ciara called from outside the door of their room as she waited for her husband to be done. It was a surprise that she had finished getting prepared before her husband but that was because she had asked him to leave the room while a few of the maids worked on her. About an hour and thirty minutes later, she was done and she asked one of the maids to summon her husband in. As soon as he stepped in, his eyes nearly popped out of its sockets. The maids had outdone themselves and transformed his wife into a very beautiful woman. She had always been beautiful but today, she was looking extra. Speaking had been hard for him as he had stumbled over his words, causing the maids to giggle and when Ciara did her twirl for him. "Alright, honey. I'm almost done. I just have to put these on," He said with a strained voice and in no time, he was joining her. He was wearing a pinstripe tuxedo and a white shirt beneath. There was
Rise of Athena Chapter 87
Alexander was just finishing up his wine when he heard the distinctive voice of Evan, one of his very old friends. Evan was dressed in a cravat. This didn't come as a surprise to him. Evan was someone who didn't live according to societal norms. He hadn't changed much. His hair was still red and touching his shoulders but his beard had overgrown and he had left it that way. It made him look older than he actually was. "Man, it's been a damn long time since we last saw," Evan said and they shook hands. "You look older than before." Alexander rolled his eyes. "The last time you saw me was four years ago. How do you expect me to be the same?" Evan chuckled and clapped his arm. "I get it, man. But damn, every female in here has their eyes on you." As soon as he said this, Alex turned to look around him and indeed, every female within one-eighty degrees around him had their eyes on him or were sneaking looks at him. He wasn't fazed by it. Unconcerned even

"You heard me right, Alexander," Ciara said as she craned her neck to see the people who were ushered to the high table. Alex shook his head and stepped back. "I am not down for this. I told you guys that I don't want to be seen. " Ciara gave Alex a look. "You are running away from Athena?" Alex shrugged. "Not per se. I just don't want to be seen by her." "Why?" Daniel asked. Alex shrugged. "I have no idea. Maybe because I don't want to?" Ciara sighed and retracted her arm from her husband's. She took a few steps towards Alex who stood a few meters away from them. "Look, I understand that she hurt you by rejecting you. I would go crazy. But you're fine, Alex. If she doesn't want you, it's fine! See, she needs to see that you're thriving without her. Have fun tonight." "It's hard." Alex said looking genuinely distressed. "I've never seen Alex this way. It's shocking." Daniel said and chuckled. Alex was listening to all that Ciara was saying
Rise of Athena Chapter 89
Alex was just reading through the order of the ceremony when Ciara stood to her feet and left. Alex hadn't seen her but Daniel had and he shrugged before going back to listening to the names being called by the master of the ceremony. When Ciara returned, she returned with a beautiful young lady whom Alex recognized to be among the ladies who had been ogling at him. He gave Ciara a glare but she ignored him, took her seat and began talking with her husband. Alex sighed. He was left with no option than to speak with her. "Hi." The lady greeted in a sultry voice. She flicked her blond hair behind her ear and smiled at him. Her blue eyes were filled with nothing but excitement. Alex was going to entertain her. "Hi," Alex said and nodded at her before standing on his feet and pulling out a seat for her. She took a seat and ran her gloved fingers down his arm that was exposed because he rolled his shirt up. Alex had never felt so repulsive by anyone's touch but he

"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
Rise of Athena Chapter 226
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
