Semua Bab Rise of Athena : Bab 151 - Bab 160

Throughout the day, Athena didn't pay as much attention as she used to. Something else was in her mind. Someone, rather. After the meeting, she had immediately left the hall to the privacy of her study. She made sure to dish out instructions to Damien. One that would keep him away from her office from the time being as she fantasized about Alex touching her. Like he had said, she couldn't stop thinking about him. He had left an impression on her. One she couldn't quite defeat. As soon as she got into the confines of her office, she quickly shut the door and locked it. Then she went to her windows and pulled the curtains, making everywhere a lot dimmer save for the light pouring out from the lamp on her table. She decided that the couch would be the best place for her so she went there, lay down and closed her eyes as she fantasized about Alex touching her. Her breath became faster as she shut her eyes and delved into the memories of last night. She could fe

Heyli quietly shut the door to her sister-to-be's study. The idea of the adoption still weirded her out as she had never heard of someone being adopted to be a sister. It was strange. But still, she didn't dispute. Maybe the Lycans did this. King Athena was seated on one of the leather couches in the room and she leaned over to the coffee table before her to pick a glass cup in which she poured in an apple cider. She raised her hand and gestured to Heyli to take it from her. Heyli had never tried alcohol apart from the time she had taken a painful gulp from her father's cup of ale. It had tasted terrible and she had actually read about it to learn about different alcohol variants. She knew that apple cider was made out of fermented apples and she was curious to know how it'd taste so she took it from Athena's hand. Athena poured herself another drink before settling back into her chair. She took a sip from her glass. "Have a seat, Heyli. Stop standing there lik

"What did she say to you?" Heyli looked up at Ciara from where she sat on her bed, deep in thought. She had forgotten to lock her door so Ciara had used this chance to slip into her room. Heyli heaved a deep breath and leaned against one of the wooden posters attached to her queen size bed. "She wants to adopt me as a sister," Ciara nodded and took a seat beside her on the bed. "That was unexpected," Heyli placed her palm on her head. "I know, right? She doesn't even talk to or acknowledge me and suddenly she wants me to be her adoptive sister. She also made me take a lot of apple cider. I don't think my sister would do that, would they?" Ciara smiled. "Sisters do worse. But tell me. Why do you think she made you drink a lot of apple cider?" "To make me talk, of course. Isn't it obvious?" "She probably knew you were going to coat your words when talking to her so she made you drink. Yes, I know that it's offensive but she did it for a good course. Wha

Once dinner was over, everyone wiped their mouths and bade each other a goodnight. Alex gave Athena a look as she stood to her feet and she nodded her head in understanding. Heyli was the first to leave as she felt really strange after taking that blood mixture. She knew she was going to be restless throughout the night and probably was going to vomit. As for Daniel and Ciara, they were leaving early the next morning without Alex. Alex had told them he was going to be back in Blue moon pack two days before the Royal Hunting to go with them and they had all agreed to that proposal. Alex did not tell them he was going to be training Athena to hunt. She had told him to keep it just between them and he had agreed. Now, she went into her room to change into something more comfortable: a pair of combat pants, a black tank top and combat boots. She packed her platinum blonde hair above her head before deciding that she was all set. "Are you ready?" Alex was standing by her

"Am I really going to climb this till I actually break my legs? I've been doing this for the past thirty minutes!" Athena complained. "If that's what's going to kill you at the ceremony, we can just do climbing for tonight," Athena's left foot was hanging in the air and the only source of her support were both of her hands grabbing onto the jagged side of the rock and one foot on the rock's foothold. "It's strenuous," "It wouldn't have been if you could shape shift properly. I use my claws to climb and it's really easy," Athena pushed herself up with her right foot and balanced her left foot on the nearest foothold. She was breathing heavily by now. "Then why are you stressing me out?! I could easily do that if you teach me how to shape shift." "I chose the hard way." "My muscles are burning, Alexander," Athena cried as she pushed herself up again. She was already close to the top of the rock but she could feel the rough edges of the rock pierce the flesh o
