Rise of Athena Chapter 93
By the time Alex returned, the party was in full swing. A lot of people were dancing while some talked loudly over drinks and food. Alex entered the hall and searched around for Daniel and Ciara and he found them by the fountain eating from a plate. They seemed to be having a conversation that had Ciara laughing and when Alex got to where they stood, she stopped laughing and looked at him. "Heyy," She drawled. "You're back. I thought you went home with her?" "I actually did," Alex said and sighed. "Actually, her mate was around. He's back to his senses," Daniel was suddenly interested. "What do you mean he came back to his senses?" "He was bewitched by his ex wife. She cast a hoax on him and that made him see Geneva as someone else apart from his mate, " "That's crazy," Ciara said. "I'm sure she must have been so happy. She's so lucky that he came back to his senses." "She wasn't happy. I feel like she was in so much shock. She probably thought he was an a
Rise of Athena Chapter 94
Geneva had gotten home quite a long time ago but she found it hard to sleep. All she could think about was Trevor and those words he had said. Even if he was speaking nothing but the truth, she couldn't bring herself to forget the humiliation she had gone through all because she was mated to some Alpha King from a pack she didn't belong to. Trevor had locked her up, made everyone think she was crazy and severed their connection. It had been really painful and on some nights when she couldn't sleep, she lay awake watching the night skies or in the woods shape shifting and howling till her voice got coarse. Her own people had made her seem like an outcast just because she got rejected and it had taken months for her to get used to the stares and gossips that were never ending. Tonight, she had also been embarrassed and Alex, the good looking Alpha in his good graces had followed her, listened to her. No one had ever done that for her. Nobody tried to listen to her.
Rise of Athena Chapter 95
CHAPTER 95 "Leave you?" Alex asked and burst into laughter. Athena was being ridiculous right now and it was absolutely funny. "Athena, I see that you have come here to make me laugh or make a joke out of me." "What relationship do you have with that woman?" Athena queried. It was in her eyes that she was highly jealous. She tried hard to conceal it but Alex could see it. "A relationship that's none of your business," Alex said and spooned the last food into his mouth before turning to leave. "Wait!" Athena called. Alex was laughing as she turned. "I miss you, Alex. Every waking moment of the day, I regret why I asked you to leave. Every time I wish I could see you and take back everything I said," she blurted out. Alex still had a smile on his face and as he moved towards her, he watched her fiddle with her dress. "So why did you ask me to leave?" Athena cleared her throat and said nothing. "You talking? I have to go now." "I just told you I mis
Rise of Athena Chapter 96
Alex returned to his table looking angry. His face was drawn and his lips were thinned as he pulled out his chair to take a seat. By now, people were either dancing, eating or preparing to leave. Daniel and Ciara were eating and conversing when they saw Alex. They noticed his demeanor and the couple exchanged looks, knowing that something bad had gone down. Ciara would have asked him but he was in a really bad mood and Alex in a really bad mood meant he would be rude. Alex leaned back on his chair and looked around. He was seething. Really angry at Athena but there was nothing he could do. His wolf whined in so much pain and he began to squirm in his seat. Daniel noticed his discomfort and tapped him. "What's up?" Alex shook his head. "Nothing. I'm good." Daniel didn't believe him but he said nothing after that. Instead, he turned to his wife and whispered into her ears. "Talk to Athena, please. We all know that she's also smitten by him. I don't know why
Rise of Athena Chapter 97
Alex was just about leaving the party when a lady cornered him. She was smiling and she flicked her hair to the side. Alex noticed that the other ladies at the table were looking at him. It seemed like it was planned but he didn't mind entertaining one or two women before leaving. "I saw you coming into the hall and I was following after you but you got occupied." "Great," Alex whispered and slipped his hands into his pocket. "I am about to leave anyway." The lady took it as a cue to step in. She pushed into his broad chest and bit her lower lip. Her dark brown eyes swirled with desire as she stared at him. He watched her hair bounce as her bronze curls shimmered under the lights. "We could leave together. Maybe take a walk or something?" Alex was just thinking of how women of this generation had the audacity to walk up to a man publicly without even care. Before he could open his mouth to reply to her, Athena's firm voice spoke from behind him. "I'm wit
Rise of Athena Chapter 98
In the thick of the darkness, a snarl was heard. A villager was just returning home from her stall after a long day at work and it had been unfortunate that she chose this day to clean up her shop just as everyone was preparing to go home. She had stayed back and she had cleaned everything up and even if she knew that it was safer to move with everyone in the evening, she had chosen to be alone. She was an unsuspecting woman. She hummed a classic tune of old as she hiked her jute bag higher. She walked through the path everyone used through the woods and even under the full moon, the paths were foggy and she heard the chirping of crickets as she went. She was not afraid. She was used to this sound already. She remembered that every evening, when everyone trudged tiredly through the forest, they all heard this sound but everyone ignored it. It was the sound of the nocturnes. But tonight, she was alone and she couldn't ignore it for so long. So she began walking
Rise of Athena Chapter 99
"Where's Maggie?" A young girl came out of a wooden house. She was dressed in a tattered mauve dress. She had a dark shawl wrapped around her neck and her head hung low as she stood in front of the old man, her father. He was asking for her mother. "I have no idea, papa," The young girl said in a meek voice. "She asked me to go home with the others. I think she wanted to clear the stall. It's dirty." Whack! The young girl fell to the ground as she hissed in pain. Her father had slapped her cheek. Her cheek that had received slaps everyday of her life. But now, she wasn't receiving that for anything she did. Her mother had stayed back instead of coming with everyone and somehow, he had found a way to pin the blame on her. When she looked up at him, he was glaring down at her. "Who is going to make me food tonight?" "I will." The young girl whispered. Her father shook his head and laughed. "What do you know how to do? You can barely look after yourself
Rise of Athena Chapter 100
Ciara and Daniel were talking when they both spotted Alex walking hand in hand with Athena. They weren't the only ones looking. Some people didn't dwell on it because they felt like it was just a random gentlemanly gesture. Ciara nudged Daniel. "Look what I told you? Athena's someone who isn't in tune with her emotions but she sure feels everything. That's why I told her that back when we were at the terrazzo. I knew she was going to go after him." Daniel was still watching them. He nodded. "I wonder what she told him to make him come back. I saw it in Alex's eyes. He was damn ready to leave and never return." "He can't. He wouldn't. Alex is madly in love with her. It's not just his wolf. It's him too." Daniel sighed. "I wished I was loved like that." Daniel said and sighed. "Ow!" Ciara was glaring at him. She had whacked his arm. "Stupid. What are you saying?" "Yes. I was the one who foolishly loved you and embarrassed myself because you didn't see m

"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
