Rise of Athena chapter 10
Someone was coming.Her eyes snapped, she sat up and looked at the timepiece she had set on the table next to her bed; 5 o'clock and ten minutes. It was a gift from Brenda when she had turned eighteen, it was a small clock engraved in a wood carving of an Alpha wolf.Its purpose was to remind her of who she was but whenever she looked at it she mostly saw how weak she was, an Alpha who can't shift.How perfectly embarrassing. Seconds later she heard a knock on the door. "Enter." "My King." A servant entered with 6 others in tow and bowed. "Speak." "We bear gifts from your admirers." When she heard who the admirers were she scoffed. Just as she had expected. At six o'clock and two minutes the door opened and someone entered.She didn't need to look up to know who it was, much to her dismay she sensed him, felt his presence.As soon as he entered he noticed her first of course, wearing a black morning gown sitting at her table one leg resting atop the other while she signed and

"So since we have decided to become friends, I suppose I'm allowed to ask a question?" He paused for an answer, and when he saw none was forthcoming he continued."The Beta, earlier he mentioned something about how you didn't grow up in the pack, I'm curious." She arranged the few papers that were askew on the table and placed her hands on her legs one placed above the other."Have you not heard?""The servants hate me because they think I am power-thirsty and discontent. And even though I have not been out so frequently the few respected people I have met have deemed me worthless and fit to be used as a cleaning rag, that is apart from the Beta of course but a man such as he is not one for gossip. So my last resort is you.""I wonder why people love talking unnecessarily so much. All you needed to say was no.""I apologize for being such an explanative and good person, so out with the story.""There is no story. My father got angry my mother gave birth to a female child so he burnt
Rise of Athena Chapter 12
Alex headed to her bed chambers with a bounce in his steps and a grin that probably made him look like a fool but he didn't care, after doing lifting and carrying and being sent on errands since Athena had not wanted him to neglect his footman duties on her account.He often wishes he had chosen a different guise, butler perhaps, or anything that didn't involve him getting dirty and having body pains and of course, he still had Athena to seduce. But all that mattered now was she had sent for him. She wanted to see him.He knew a stranger had been here when he entered the hallway leading to Athena's chambers but paid it no mind. No sooner than he opened the door to her chambers was he engulfed by the stranger's scent, and male scent. He passed through her receiving room previous euphoria now gone, he opened the door to her bedroom and saw a man too well dressed to be a servant. Upon sighting his murderous look, said man instinctively pulled Athena closer to him placing his hands on her

He sighed frustrated.Perhaps Ciara could give him a word of advice on how to woo his mate.Although he had left the managing of the pack in Ciara's capable hands needed to see his pack for himself.Soon he told himself.He got up and opened the door leading out of his chambers and went to Cassandra's chambers and he saw her doing her correspondence just as he expected.His pile of books had been put away.Given the way their last conversation as he hesitated at the door."Are you coming in or not."She said irritated.He smiled relieved anything even irritation was better than cold indifference.He went in picked out books placed them on each other and sat."You could have at least told me it was him you were going to choose.""To what result?"He blinked surprised."You answered me."She raised a questioning eyebrow."It's just that I usually have to keep talking for about an eternity before you even notice me.""That's not true. Not even logical. And I always notice you.""As much as you try not to?

It was incredible the amount of torture the mere thought brought.He hadn't been able to have his nightly sessions with Athena today since she was at the dinner table, he merited a place at the dining table since he was supposedly being the alpha's spokesperson, but with all the raucous stirred up he knew it was best not to encourage the wagging tongues, but dammit he wanted to, he wanted to whisk her away to her bedroom in front of everyone and not let her out till a few weeks later when she looking flushed and satisfied.Extremely satisfied.Except she wouldn't be satisfied, she would want more so much she'd beg for it. So yes, he wanted to give the gossips reason to mong till their last days.But the Athena who will let him lock her with him in a room only existed in his dreams.He gave up trying to sleep, got off, and headed to the library after donning a night robe on his naked body for the sake of modesty.He walked slowly, careful not to wake anyone who might be sleeping which wasn

Lightning flashed illuminating the room for one quick second and as a result, brightened her too. He cupped her head slipping his fingers through her coiffure that was now loose at the end of the day, he moved his thumb across her cheek in slow deliberate strokes savoring the feel of her soft skin. He slowly moved his hand behind her neck and his fingers worked to massage the tense muscles there, the small sigh she let out stirred dangerous things in his depths. The only sounds in the room now are the sounds of the heavy raindrops on the roof and the music of their frantic heartbeats.Her eyes were now closed, her lips slightly parted, he couldn't resist, he leaned in and felt the unmistakable sharp edge of her blade against his biceps.“Leave.”She sounded -to his dismay- betrayed. He stepped a few paces away from her gave a pained mock salute not even bothering to hide his hurt and left the room with an uncomfortable throb between his legs.His walk turned into a run in the heavy downpo

She looked at her reflection. The maid had helped her don a simple day dress. The clothes were modest ones, not at all fit for an Alpha. And that was the reason she was going to order a new wardrobe, not because she wanted Alexander to see her in them. Not at all. He had run for hours at full speed-his injured shoulder had healed almost immediately as he shifted to wolf form-but even that couldn't erase his pain or anger as soon as he crossed into his territory, his pack. His people, who share the unique link with their Alpha, all felt it. He emerged from the forest with a tortured look on his face, wearing tattered trousers he had held in his mouth while in his wolf form. He saw not less than 500 of his soldiers, all in wolf form, prepared to spill blood. But no one will harm their car. He protected her at all costs, but who would protect her from him? He threw his head back and gave a loud animalistic roar, the sound attracting those who lived in the remote part of the pack and hadn
Rise of Athena Chapter 17
Athena rose from her bed with a dulling pain in her heart, one she tried so much to ignore but kept coming back. Everything about her was slowly succumbing to the absence of the annoying footman. She tried not to think too much of him but kept failing miserably every single time. She even snapped at Damien when he tried to make a joke about Alex's absence. She didn't want to be his mate but that didn't give anyone the right to talk carelessly about him in her presence. The gossipers around the palace have found a new rumor to spread, some said she discovered that he was not her mate, others said he rejected her cos of her stone heart, the bold ones went ahead to say that he had had a fill of he Rand decided that she was no longer worth it. All these Athena heard through the use of her discreet footmen planted across the village. Some of her footmen had wives that blended into the villages and got useful information for her. A knock on the door startled her and brought her out of he
