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

"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
Rise of Athena Chapter 101
As they walked to the dance floor, Alex watched Athena. She was eerily quiet and he guessed she was just really shy due to the looks she was getting from the people. And also, Alex noticed that as they passed by people, they bowed. It was a sight. He remembered that a few weeks ago, no one regarded him due to his status as a footman but now that everyone knew him to be King, it all changed. Before they got to the dance floor, a man cornered them. Athena frowned but Alex wanted to bear what he had to say. He bowed to Athena and then to Alex. "Congratulations, my King. May your reign on the Antarti throne be long." "Thank you." Athena said. The man turned to Alex. "It's surprising to know that after all these while, you were King. I knew it." Alex was going to ask this man if this was the reason why he stopped him but he refrained from doing so. All he needed was a little patience. "I saw you at the inn yesterday and I was going to walk up to you but you
Rise of Athena Chapter 102
"I always knew King Athena and that footman had a chemistry right from the moment I set eyes on them both," One of the elders spoke beside Damien who was fuming as he watched Athena and Luis kiss passionately. Damien had always known that Alex was smitten by his Alpha but he didn't know that she felt the same. Actually, he was lying to himself. He knew the truth and he knew that Athena was equally smitten by Alexander. But they weren't mated to each other so it was ridiculous for them both to even indulge in the act of kissing and also, people were starting to talk. "I knew there was something going on between the both of them from the moment I saw them arguing." A lady said as she hid her face behind her fan. "Of course! No wonder he wasn't looking at any woman. He had his eyes on her." "Do you think they're mated?" "I have no idea. But I am sure as hell that King Athena doesn't have a mate. That's why she's King." "She probably got rejected,"
Rise of Athena Chapter 103
Trevor took his time to look around her house. It was small and cozy, inviting. She was making coffee for him and the aroma wafted into his nose. He closed his eyes and inhaled. There was nowhere he wanted to be. The coronation party be damned. He took long strides towards her kitchen and watched as she made coffee for him. She looked really beautiful in her blue dress and her platinum blonde hair distinct to the beautiful females of Antarti. Sighing, he took a seat on the stool in her kitchen. When she turned, she was quite surprised to see him sitting there but she gave him a shy smile and gently placed his cup of coffee before him. "Do you like it sweetened and creamed?" She asked. Trevor was staring at her. He loved the fact that even after all he had done to her, she could still smile and blush. It made him feel better. "Of course, I do." "Bagels?" "Sure." Geneva went to her fridge and produced a transparent, glass jar of milk. She picked a pack
Rise of Athena Chapter 104
The party was slowly coming to an end. Guests were already drunk and the party was beginning to look like a shit show. Daniel and Ciara had paid their respects to Athena who sat with Alex at the Terrazzo before going up to their room and now was the time for servants to actually start cleaning everywhere. Someone had made a mess on one of the tables. They had gotten drunk and had vomited on the table and it was an irritating sight to watch as guests went back into their room. Athena and Alexander were the only ones left and they both sat on the stone chair at the terrazzo. They had been together for almost an hour with Athena in Alex's arms as they both talked like they had known each other for years. Athena was more shocked by the whole thing than Alexander himself as she hadn't even expected to speak to him about herself and events surrounding her so well. But she was happy to be in his arms. She felt safe and loved and cared for. It was a good feeling. "So,
Rise of Athena Chapter 105
Ciara was just entering her room after spending time with Daniel. She had forgotten her hand fan in the gallery and before she entered, she saw Athena and Alexander entering into a room while holding each other. A smile coated her face and when she shut the door, she hurried before bumping into the hard body of her husband. "What's wrong?" Daniel asked as he grabbed her by the shoulder. His expression was filled with worry and concern. He even pulled the door open and when he didn't see anyone, he shut the door only to meet Ciara who was laughing profusely. "What the hell? Is this a prank?" Daniel asked as he came to stand before her. Ciara shook her head and patted her chest to stop herself from laughing. "I'm sorry. I was just going to tell you something but you overreacted." "Overreacted?" Daniel asked. "You fucking screamed while coming in." Ciara threw her arm around him. She didn't like to get Daniel upset. "I'm sorry, honey. I squealed because I sa

"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
