Rise of Athena Chapter 40
Alexander spent the rest of his evening in his room, pondering and brainstorming on who might have fired that arrow at Athena. No matter how angry he had made her, he still cared about her and wanted to find the culprit. When it was evening, his stomach rumbled and he stood to his feet. He hadn't eaten all day and he needed to put something in his belly. So he stepped out of his room and walked through the corridors towards the kitchen. His face was still tight and unsmiling so no one dared speak to him. When he got to the kitchen, he went straight to Tiffany, one of his favorite cooks. "Hungry, aye?" The dark skinned woman asked. Her curly hair was wrapped with a woolen scarf. Alex nodded. "I haven't eaten since morning." "Wait for me in the dining room. I heard that the Queen— King lets you dine there." They both exchanged a chuckle. "I think I would love to eat here." Tiffany shook her head. "The King has forbidden us from eating here i

"I see that you've been rendezvousing with that Fiona girl again?" Alex was just standing to his feet when he heard her distinct voice behind him. He sighed and turned to look at her with a bored look. "And how is that a problem?" Athena blinked. She hadn't expected him to ask her that. But she was good at composing herself and she did so. "It is a problem because she is in my premises. I do not want her here and she seems suspicious." "Suspicious?" Alex gave her an incredulous look. "Why would you think that?" Athena shrugged. "She might be the one who shot the arrow. I feel it." "But you aren't sure. You have no right to speak of what you know nothing about." Athena laughed. "How many days do you have left? I'm tired of seeing you around here." Alex felt a pang of hurt in his chest as she said that. "You're always chasing me away, right?" Athena nodded in affirmation. "I don't want you here. I also don't want this ring and we're never go
Rise of Athena Chapter 42
Athena's eyes blazed with so much fire. Alex had never seen her this fierce. He could smell the jealousy and hurt coming off her and the more she suppressed it, the worse it became. Her fists were clenched and the soldiers who stood beside her immediately retreated, giving them both privacy. Alex was not going to offer her any sort of clarity. He wanted her to vent everything she was feeling so he just stood where he was, watching her with interest in his eyes. "You believe I have slept with Fiona and you also believe I have slept with Kali. I am a footman and you have not failed to remind me that I am and put me in my place Athena. You have made sure you want to have nothing to do with me and you have also shown it to me." "That's because I don't care about you!" "Why are you mad at me for moving with these women if you don't care about me?" Athena stopped. It seemed like it had dawned on her. She staggered backwards and clamped a hand over her mouth for several
Rise of Athena Chapter 43
Athena went back into her chambers and wrapped a cloak around herself before leaving her room. She hurried down the ornate staircase, nearly bumping into one of her servants who immediately jumped out of the way. When she got to the door, the ostiary immediately pulled the door open for her. Indeed, they were men standing at the base of the steps leading to the porch. More than ten of them and they were all able bodied, filled with testosterone that dripped off them in torrents. For the first few seconds, she was confused. Seeing a lot of able bodied men at the same time who were standing before her for the reason of finding whoever had tried to kill her for the purpose of winning her hand was quite overwhelming. One of them was bold enough to step forward and introduce himself and the others. "My King," He began in a tone that was laced with respect. "We have all gathered here for the sole purpose of finding whoever fired that arrow at you." "And why is
Rise of Athena Chapter 44
Athena sat on her vanity table and thought about Alexander and his recent behavior. After that night she had gone out of control and whacked his face, he had changed drastically towards her. The Alexander she knew would always pester her and be a pain in her butt. He would always encroach her space and make her angry. But that had changed. He was no longer interested in being around her. In fact, he had avoided her for the most part and had given her cold stares and replies which had made her really uncomfortable and worried. But she still blamed it on the ring on her fingers. Just three days and it'll be off her hand. And then, she wouldn't care about Alexander's existence, if he died or not or if he was okay. But now, she was worried. She hoped he was safe out there and when she remembered that they would be passing by her window, she stood to her feet and went there. She pulled the close curtains and the lights lining the streets down below flooded into her ro
Rise of Athena Chapter 45
Athena stared wide eyed at Alex who had caught the arrow in his hand. It was surprising to see something as such. Alex, who had caught the quivering arrow, scanned it to see if it looked like the one that had been fired the last time and it was exactly it. Athena was standing before him now and she watched as he scanned the arrow while also finding where it had been fired from. They heard a shuffling of footsteps and immediately, Athena stood with legs wide open as she wielded the sword before her. Alex stood behind her and quickly scanned the arrow. It was from Fiona's house. But how come? "My King!" Damien cried. The footsteps they had heard belonged to them and Athena lowered her sword in slight relief. "What are you doing here out in the open? You're supposed to be at the palace. This place is too dangerous for you." Damien said while checking to see if she sported any bruises or wounds. But there were none. Athena brushed his hands off.
Rise of Athena Chapter 46
After Athena had successfully pulled out the arrow that for stuck on Alex's skin, she checked it to see that it was the same arrow. She dropped it on the floor beside her and surveyed the wound Alex had sported but it was nowhere to because it had healed immediately. The only thing she saw was a red blood stain that was starting to turn maroon due to the air that had come in contact with it. They continued their journey. "I see someone!" One of the men cried and everyone hurried in his direction. Athena had seen a feminine figure run behind them from a far and her suspicions had been cleared. She wanted to attack when the culprit least expected. So she unsheathed her swords, Alex who had already shifted to a wolf growled internally and Athena smirked. He would be shocked. The arrow came flying past them and this time, Athens caught it with the edge of her sword with a metallic clang that created a brief spark. The sword hit a boulder beside them before cl
Rise of Athena Chapter 47
The palace was bustling with activities and that was because the culprit had been found. Though, the whole of Antarti pack hadn't been informed of the treacherous offender that had been caught, Alex was well aware that tomorrow morning, an announcement would be made. But for now, the officials of Antarti had been called upon and the palace guards had been made to surround the building in case she had anyone watching over her or coming for her. Athena was standing on the porch alone and she watched as everything unfolded. Damien was nowhere to be found. He was probably talking with some officials and preparing for the announcement that would be made before the people tomorrow. The men who had gone along with Alex and Damien to hunt were rewarded accordingly for stepping forward to help find the culprit and it surprised Alex. He didn't think Athena was the type of person to appreciate people for whatever they had done and it was quite strange. Alex was standin
