"Alex being here with us is going to be really stressful." Ian complained. Alex's guards were throwing in their luggages into a bullion van as they got ready to leave for Antarti. It was quite a distance and was going to take them about six hours before they got to Antarti. Ciara chuckled. "Why?" Ian stopped what he was doing and gave Ciara an incredulous look. "You haven't met Alex in love. He's a pain in the butt." "How do you know that? Alex has only been in love once." Ian shook his head. "That's not true. He had this intense feelings for this girl when we were younger." "For real? How was it?" "It was short lived. The girl was from another pack and her father who was the Alpha had come to visit his father. They stayed for a few months because her father was running from a set of people that wanted to kill him." "Wow, that's crazy. Who knew Alex was capable of falling in love?" "He's worse than an obsessed person. It can be draining at times."
Rise of Athena Chapter 59
Athena was a bit disappointed. She had expected to see Alex with these people but they weren't even the Alpha and the Luna! She made sure not to show her disappointment as she led them into the palace. They got to the hallway and the woman stopped and smiled at Athena. She was older. "We didn't get to introduce ourselves, your highness." She said, Her companion also stopped walking. Athena smiled. "Of course." "My name is Cecilia Vega and this is my husband, Daniel Vega. We are both the Alpha's special advisers, my husband being the Beta." "As you all know, my name is Athena, daughter of the great Alpha Caden. You both are warmly welcome." Cecilia took her hand and shook it. "I am so proud of you. Never has it been heard that a woman is ruling a pack. You have broken that embargo." "Of course, I have. It is not an easy task." Permit me to interrupt, Daniel jutted in. Both women turned to look at him. "I have not heard of you choosing a mate. It is a

Alexander was just getting used to his room. This room was below par and it smells musty. The first thing he did as soon as he entered the room was search for any fragrance to freshen the air of the room. He could smell different body scents from people who had used this room a long time and it was quite suffocating. For a brief moment, he regretted ever thinking about coming to this inn. He would have gone to the palace instead. But he was avoiding Athena and he wanted to surprise everyone. The price one had to pay for a big surprise. Alexander didn't find any air freshener around so he made a mental note to go down and tell the porter about it. The bed he was to lay on was stiff and very narrow. It wouldn't cover his body frame and his feet were definitely going to dangle off the bed. He was sacrificing his comfort for this. Well, it was only going to be for three days and he would be gone. Sighing, he pushed his luggages into the tiny wardrobe before
Rise of Athena Chapter 61
The day had finally arrived. The whole town was bustling with activities and so was the temple. Guests left their rooms and went back into it after the large breakfast and some of them milled about in the hall while talking about different things. They were all dressed up for the service at the temple and they all waited a bit for their vehicles to be arranged before going into their various cars. Daniel and Ciara were walking hand in hand. Ciara was dressed in a blue taffeta gown that screamed royalty. As they walked out of the palace, they stylishly checked around to see if Athena was anywhere in sight. "Do you think it's okay for her to be addressed as King? I find it really weird that she'd be called King. I mean, what's wrong in being called a Queen?" Daniel asked and got a look from the porter standing by the door. Ciara sighed. "Can you all let the young woman do whatever she wants to do? She's the ruling one and can make any decision she wants. She can d
Rise of Athena Chapter 62
Alexander was already set and he was planning on going discreetly to the temple so he would be unrecognizable. Last night was quite stressful for him as he had gone around the whole of Antarti to stamp talismans at different points that were an opening into the spirit realm and he just hoped no one had seen him. Once he was done dressing up, he checked himself in the mirror. He had worn a cloak with a high collar to conceal his face from being seen or recognisable as he was not ready to show his face yet. He had planned on doing that the next day. As he was about to step out of his room, he bumped into the same old woman from yesterday. She was also dressed like she was prepared for some party or the sorts. "Out to snatch the young ladies, are you?" She said while wiggling her brows. Alexander gave her a fake smile. He wasn't interested in any conversation with her but he had to indulge for a few moments. "Nah, not really. I already have a mate." "Ouh, is th
Rise of Athena Chapter 63
An ancient carriage, which had been cleaned up, polished and repainted throttled through the street and people walking by stopped to gaze at the grandiose carriage in awe. "I told you that a limo would be fine. Why did I even agree to this nonsense?" Athena complained. She hated that they had to do this. Damien, who was seated beside her, shrugged. As the carriage moved, they were juggled continuously. He initially hadn't been interested in this idea as it had been brought up by the elders as a way to preserve the old tradition. Athena, who had been absent at the meeting due to preparations, had been informed by Damien after the meeting that the usage of the old carriage had been proposed to transport her to the temple. Out of curiosity, she had requested to see the so-called carriage and when it had been shown to her, she turned down the proposal. The elders had found a way to make her not disagree with it. They had used her absence in the meeting against her, tell
Rise of Athena Chapter 64
Ciara, who had been anticipating the dinner, whined. She had promised the women she had been speaking with a few moments ago that she would be sitting with them at the dinner table. "But I told these women I'd be joining them after the service. I already did." Alexander wasn't even listening to her. He began to walk out of the temple and the couple followed after him. Ciara made sure to ignore her husband as they walked out of the nearly empty temple. "Where's the car?" Alexander asked amidst the noise from the crowd of people who were watching the carriage leave the temple gates. "The first line!" Daniel called out. Alexander nodded and turned to look at the carriage and as it passed by him, his eyes caught Athena's and he drew in a sharp breath and turned away immediately. He was sure that Athena had seen him because her eyes widened and she craned her neck. On the other hand, Athena, while the foot men hurried the horse out of the temple gates, stared
Rise of Athena Chapter 65
Athena knew she had seen someone familiar as the carriage drove her out of the temple. The familiar blue eyes, chiseled and clean shaven jaw and the stance. It had to be him. Maybe it wasn't him. Maybe it was someone else who looked like him or a spirit. They had just arrived at the palace and once they had been assisted out of the carriage, Damien went over to the guards to give them instructions. As for Athena, she proceeded into the palace with two of her special guards flanking her. This had been done to protect her from any sort of attacker as these were delicate times. "I want you all to be alert. Remember the man who came here early this morning?" They all nodded. "I don't know if he's telling the truth or if he's a spy or if he's using this as a sort of distraction. I just want you all to be alert, okay?" "Yes, sir." They chorused. Damien made sure to look around for any suspicious activities before proceeding into the palace. The table was al
