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
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
Rise of Athena Chapter 51
Athena definitely wanted this ring off her finger. She had dreamt about taking it off and finally becoming immune to Alex's charm. Several times, she had tried removing it and even gotten to the extent of asking a goldsmith to melt it off her fingers even if she was going to burn. But Alex taking it off without her expecting it was shocking. Athena staggered backwards and she read his countenance. Alex was visibly angry. No, angry wasn't the word. He looked frustrated and tired. Like he had given up. But Alex had shown her that he wasn't the type to give up. Slowly, Alex raised the ring and sucked his lower lip in for a brief second. He flashed it in her face. "See, I've taken off the ring from your finger. You're finally free from me, Athena." Athena said nothing. All she could feel was emptiness. She had been feeling empty for her whole life and the death of her guardian had increased the emptiness but this ring had made her feel more, want more. Want
Rise of Athena Chapter 52
For the whole of the next day, Athena didn't catch a glimpse of Alex anywhere around. She even asked some of the maids to secretly find him around but he was nowhere to be found. It felt so strange. His absence had an impact on everyone. He was not there to annoy her or make the elders stare at them with disdain in their eyes; she utterly loved it. He wasn't around to make Damien clench his fists and yell out curse words. He wasn't around to make the maids swoon and the guards feel threatened. She sighed. "My Lord," Called one of the men who had been reading from a book to her. Athena looked up. She was lost and everyone was looking at her for a reply. "I'm guessing you didn't hear the last thing I said." Athena sighed. This ring was supposed to make her feel sane. The spell was supposed to have worn off. "I didn't. Repeat again." "I said, we have invited over thirty Alpha's and other prominent people. The total is about one fifty minus our pack." "
Rise of Athena Chapter 53
"I am shocked that you're back this early. You aren't back with your mate. Sad." Alexander said nothing in reply to what she had just said and Ciara could also read his countenance enough to see that he was visibly angry. She followed him through the wide corridor that had an array of rooms for guests. Alex was going towards his wing. "Have my council members prepared. We'd be having a meeting this evening." "Of course, I will. But I would like to tell you something." Ciara said as they both took another flight of stairs that led to the north wing of the palace. Alex stopped in his tracks and turned to fix a look on Ciara who looked as calm as ever. "What is it?" "We got an invitation early this week." Alex sighed. "I'm not ready to start my party season. You are well aware that I only party at the end of the year?" Ciara nodded. "I obviously am. But I have not failed to inform you. All you just have to do is turn the invitation down or not honor
