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

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
Rise of Athena Chapter 48
Alex couldn't stop thinking about the dream he had and as he tossed around in his bed, he was ridden with worry. The dream he had was so vivid that it felt like it was happening in real life. Alex had the urge to climb out of bed, leave his room and stand at Athena's door throughout the time she slept but she was going to know and she was going to call him a creep and send him away. So he just lay in bed and thought about the dream, dissecting, arranging, scattering and arranging again. He couldn't find a suitable interpretation. Alex knew it was his special ability at work. He could see things that had happened in the past and things that were going to happen in the future. It was a gift that had been bestowed on him by his mother before her death. Sighing, he knew that sleep tonight for him had been canceled so he stood on his feet and walked to his window. It was dark out there. Without thinking, Alex decided to take a walk outside in the gardens. He just fel
Rise of Athena Chapter 49
As soon as it was fully dawn, the whole palace grounds began to fill up as the message had been passed onto them all. They wanted to know happened with the Griffith's daughter. They were a very well known family in Antarti pack and this made everyone eager to know what had happened. Alex wasn't sure he was going to be able to watch this execution happen as he was really not into it. Something about watching Fiona's execution made him feel emotional. Yes, the girl had committed a crime by wanting to kill the Queen, — Athena would forever remain a Queen to him as she was his and forever his, he wasn't buying the idea of her being killed. She was too young for that and was only reacting from a place of intense hurt. Alex knew he would do worse if anyone killed his father. Before his father's death, he was Alex's rock. Teaching and guiding him through life and training him to become who he was now, he wasn't sure he was going to take it lightly with anyone who tried to me
Rise of Athena Chapter 50
Alex turned before everything happened. He couldn't stand and watch this happen and as he could hear the cry of pains from Fiona's grandmother. He couldn't believe that the most feared old woman in Antarti could be helpless in such a situation as this. Athena watched as the men wrapped the dangling jute rope around her neck. She was shaking and Athena could smell her fear of death from where she stood. She knew that this would cause a lot of controversy and maybe even gain her more enemies but she genuinely didn't care. The guard stepped back and when a drum rolled, a man from behind worked on the lever that began to lift her up slowly. Amidst the wails from people who cared about her and complaints, Athena felt Alex's presence move away from where she was and when she turned to see if he was still there, he was nowhere to be found. "Do you think this is a good idea?" Damien who had just come to stand beside her spoke. "She's still a young girl and the tradition
