Alex was just about leaving the party when a lady cornered him. She was smiling and she flicked her hair to the side. Alex noticed that the other ladies at the table were looking at him. It seemed like it was planned but he didn't mind entertaining one or two women before leaving. "I saw you coming into the hall and I was following after you but you got occupied." "Great," Alex whispered and slipped his hands into his pocket. "I am about to leave anyway." The lady took it as a cue to step in. She pushed into his broad chest and bit her lower lip. Her dark brown eyes swirled with desire as she stared at him. He watched her hair bounce as her bronze curls shimmered under the lights. "We could leave together. Maybe take a walk or something?" Alex was just thinking of how women of this generation had the audacity to walk up to a man publicly without even care. Before he could open his mouth to reply to her, Athena's firm voice spoke from behind him. "I'm wit

In the thick of the darkness, a snarl was heard. A villager was just returning home from her stall after a long day at work and it had been unfortunate that she chose this day to clean up her shop just as everyone was preparing to go home. She had stayed back and she had cleaned everything up and even if she knew that it was safer to move with everyone in the evening, she had chosen to be alone. She was an unsuspecting woman. She hummed a classic tune of old as she hiked her jute bag higher. She walked through the path everyone used through the woods and even under the full moon, the paths were foggy and she heard the chirping of crickets as she went. She was not afraid. She was used to this sound already. She remembered that every evening, when everyone trudged tiredly through the forest, they all heard this sound but everyone ignored it. It was the sound of the nocturnes. But tonight, she was alone and she couldn't ignore it for so long. So she began walking

"Where's Maggie?" A young girl came out of a wooden house. She was dressed in a tattered mauve dress. She had a dark shawl wrapped around her neck and her head hung low as she stood in front of the old man, her father. He was asking for her mother. "I have no idea, papa," The young girl said in a meek voice. "She asked me to go home with the others. I think she wanted to clear the stall. It's dirty." Whack! The young girl fell to the ground as she hissed in pain. Her father had slapped her cheek. Her cheek that had received slaps everyday of her life. But now, she wasn't receiving that for anything she did. Her mother had stayed back instead of coming with everyone and somehow, he had found a way to pin the blame on her. When she looked up at him, he was glaring down at her. "Who is going to make me food tonight?" "I will." The young girl whispered. Her father shook his head and laughed. "What do you know how to do? You can barely look after yourself

Ciara and Daniel were talking when they both spotted Alex walking hand in hand with Athena. They weren't the only ones looking. Some people didn't dwell on it because they felt like it was just a random gentlemanly gesture. Ciara nudged Daniel. "Look what I told you? Athena's someone who isn't in tune with her emotions but she sure feels everything. That's why I told her that back when we were at the terrazzo. I knew she was going to go after him." Daniel was still watching them. He nodded. "I wonder what she told him to make him come back. I saw it in Alex's eyes. He was damn ready to leave and never return." "He can't. He wouldn't. Alex is madly in love with her. It's not just his wolf. It's him too." Daniel sighed. "I wished I was loved like that." Daniel said and sighed. "Ow!" Ciara was glaring at him. She had whacked his arm. "Stupid. What are you saying?" "Yes. I was the one who foolishly loved you and embarrassed myself because you didn't see m

As they walked to the dance floor, Alex watched Athena. She was eerily quiet and he guessed she was just really shy due to the looks she was getting from the people. And also, Alex noticed that as they passed by people, they bowed. It was a sight. He remembered that a few weeks ago, no one regarded him due to his status as a footman but now that everyone knew him to be King, it all changed. Before they got to the dance floor, a man cornered them. Athena frowned but Alex wanted to bear what he had to say. He bowed to Athena and then to Alex. "Congratulations, my King. May your reign on the Antarti throne be long." "Thank you." Athena said. The man turned to Alex. "It's surprising to know that after all these while, you were King. I knew it." Alex was going to ask this man if this was the reason why he stopped him but he refrained from doing so. All he needed was a little patience. "I saw you at the inn yesterday and I was going to walk up to you but you

"I always knew King Athena and that footman had a chemistry right from the moment I set eyes on them both," One of the elders spoke beside Damien who was fuming as he watched Athena and Luis kiss passionately. Damien had always known that Alex was smitten by his Alpha but he didn't know that she felt the same. Actually, he was lying to himself. He knew the truth and he knew that Athena was equally smitten by Alexander. But they weren't mated to each other so it was ridiculous for them both to even indulge in the act of kissing and also, people were starting to talk. "I knew there was something going on between the both of them from the moment I saw them arguing." A lady said as she hid her face behind her fan. "Of course! No wonder he wasn't looking at any woman. He had his eyes on her." "Do you think they're mated?" "I have no idea. But I am sure as hell that King Athena doesn't have a mate. That's why she's King." "She probably got rejected,"

Trevor took his time to look around her house. It was small and cozy, inviting. She was making coffee for him and the aroma wafted into his nose. He closed his eyes and inhaled. There was nowhere he wanted to be. The coronation party be damned. He took long strides towards her kitchen and watched as she made coffee for him. She looked really beautiful in her blue dress and her platinum blonde hair distinct to the beautiful females of Antarti. Sighing, he took a seat on the stool in her kitchen. When she turned, she was quite surprised to see him sitting there but she gave him a shy smile and gently placed his cup of coffee before him. "Do you like it sweetened and creamed?" She asked. Trevor was staring at her. He loved the fact that even after all he had done to her, she could still smile and blush. It made him feel better. "Of course, I do." "Bagels?" "Sure." Geneva went to her fridge and produced a transparent, glass jar of milk. She picked a pack
Rise of Athena Chapter 104
The party was slowly coming to an end. Guests were already drunk and the party was beginning to look like a shit show. Daniel and Ciara had paid their respects to Athena who sat with Alex at the Terrazzo before going up to their room and now was the time for servants to actually start cleaning everywhere. Someone had made a mess on one of the tables. They had gotten drunk and had vomited on the table and it was an irritating sight to watch as guests went back into their room. Athena and Alexander were the only ones left and they both sat on the stone chair at the terrazzo. They had been together for almost an hour with Athena in Alex's arms as they both talked like they had known each other for years. Athena was more shocked by the whole thing than Alexander himself as she hadn't even expected to speak to him about herself and events surrounding her so well. But she was happy to be in his arms. She felt safe and loved and cared for. It was a good feeling. "So,
