The King's Rebel Chapter 25
Athena's POVI didn't know what the Queen was going to do to make Lucian pay, and she didn't give me any hints about what she was going to do. She only told me not to think about him too much. She made sure I had enough things to do around the palace to help me with this.Even Locros stopped asking me the same question over and over after a few days of pleading and fighting. Even though I knew he hadn't yet given up.The Queen's plan to keep me busy around Zeifa so I wouldn't have time to hang out and think too much about a certain lycan worked. In fact, it went very well.I didn't realize that it had been a few months since the event. Everything seemed to be getting back to normal, and I did feel normal most of the time, but there were times when my feelings and thoughts about what had happened caught me off guard.I was lying in bed one night, waiting to fall asleep. Even though I had worked all day and was very tired, sleep was nowhere to be found. I was tired, but not so tired tha

Lucian's POV"The Northern Command has a lot of people working for it, and right now they are keeping a close eye on the frozen islands. So far, they have only seen smoke coming from one of the northern islands. There should be someone there, "Amoux told me what was going on as I looked at every part of the small map. Everything looked like it was where it should be."That's enough," I said with a nod before looking at the mountains to the east. When I looked at that front, the corner of my mouth would twitch. It was the hardest part of the kingdom to watch over and the part I liked the least. Snow and mountains I couldn't climb had always been my weak spots."What's the end of that?" I asked. Amoux groaned next to me and said, "A lot of avalanches have happened there recently. Some of our warriors have gone missing, and the new snow has made that area even harder to get around in "I couldn't stop gritting my teeth and balling up my fists. I didn't like the news very much."We need to

Lucian's POVAfter that, I never saw her again. I went to Zeifa more than once for different reasons, but I never saw her again. Ever.This made my lycan angry, but I didn't show it on the outside. I did the exact opposite. When I went to Zeifa, I acted like I didn't care where she was or why she wasn't there. I acted like it didn't matter, but I was dying to know where she was, how she was doing, and why I couldn't see her.On the outside, I acted like I had never met her, but I really wanted to see her again. My lycan and I got more and more upset as time went on. At one point, my tortured lycan would have been happy with just a glimpse of her, but all of a sudden, she didn't seem to be there anymore.I wouldn't have said it out loud, but I was scared for a split second. She took up more of my thoughts than I would have liked. Part of me was starting to think that I hadn't met her at all and that everything was just in my head.I thought that following this idea should have made me

Athena's POV As soon as I walked into the courtroom, I could feel his eyes on me. I wanted to look at him because of how my wolf was acting, but I didn't. At last, all those hours of practice had paid off. I talked, laughed, smiled, and made jokes, but I never once looked at him. We hadn't seen him in a long time, and my wolf was dying to sneak a peek, but I completely resisted the urge. I could do it better now. I just had to remind my wolf of how he had treated me the last time we were together. I had forgiven him, because holding a grudge for so long would have been pointless, but I had promised myself that I would never forget what he had done to me. I had learned to use it as motivation instead of spending all day crying about it, like I did when I was a puppy. I'm glad those days are over, and I'm glad I've grown up and learned from them, but he seemed stuck in the past. He was still the same old guy—judgmental, sexist, rude, and so full of himself that he had stopped growin

Athena's POV"I don't trust him. I'll also be going, "I said this as I held Ezekile's fiery gaze. When I told him that, he raised an eyebrow at me.He growled, "Say that again."Even though I knew it wasn't true, I said, "I didn't know you were losing your hearing." I could be heard pretty clearly. He was a little surprised by how bold I was. I said, "Anyway, I'll say it again for your convenience: I'll be going, too."Like the sun, his eyes burned.He told me, "I don't think you've learned from your mistake." "I'll say it again so you don't forget: women aren't allowed in any of my military camps," he growled. Because he copied me, I couldn't help but feel a little bit hot. If there hadn't been so many people around, I would have hit him right in the face."I'd like to remind you that I'm the leader of the wolves. I can go anywhere that my men can "I looked him straight in the eye and told him.Surprisingly, or not, it didn't seem like my words did anything to him other than make him
The King's Rebel Chapter 30
Athena's POVAmoux looked at us with all the hatred he could muster, which made me smile even more sweetly."You talk a lot," Amoux said to Lua as a compliment. "I hope you can also do the work,""You'd be more than surprised by all the things I can do," Lua shot back, making Amoux press his lips together in a thin line. She added, "And if we stop talking and get to work, you'll see what I'm talking about."Amoux stared at us for a few more seconds before saying, "His Majesty would be here soon for that.""You mean what?""Do you have trouble understanding simple things?"I told him, "I'm not sure I understand what he has to do with this.""Why? Amoux said, "He'd be coming with us," which made me frown. I didn't expect this, and I couldn't even think of a reason why he would come on this trip. He wasn't needed at all, and Amoux was already sexist and chauvinist enough without him. On this trip, I don't think we could handle the King of sexism and chauvinism. The trip was going to be v

When his lips hit mine, the tent blew up. That's what I thought for a moment, because as soon as our lips touched, the sparks from the kiss felt like an explosion. My body got stiffer under him, and I could feel him getting heavier. As his hungry mouth grabbed me and his greedy hands held mine above my head, his chest rumbled with a growl.No matter how much I trained to be disciplined and in control of myself so I wouldn't be affected by the mate bond, the kiss and the sparks made me forget everything for a moment and just give in.He kissed me more deeply and fought with my tongue. His mouth was close to mine, like he was trying to hide something, and for a moment I let him because my wolf pushed me back. Soon, I was kissing him back with the same intensity. I was lost in a rage of passion and desire that had taken over my mind, but I didn't care because my wolf was in charge and we were too far into the kiss to care.At one point, his lips burned against mine as if he wanted to lea
The King's Rebel Chapter 32
Athena's POV"This is where I live. Here, my word is law, "Lucian gave a growl. If looks could kill, I'd already be dead twice because his eyes were on fire and his body gave off dangerous vibes, but I didn't move an inch. I stayed where I was and looked into his fiery eyes with my chin up.I could now see through his tricks with ease. He wanted to make me mad. He was trying to anger me, and Nuessa was just one of his cards in this game, but I wasn't going to let him get to me so easily this time. I had learned one thing over the years, and that was to stay calm in situations like this. Everyone was on the lookout. If I kept my cool, it was likely that the person who started the fight would make a fool of himself.And since Lucian mostly lived off of his ego, the best way to get back at him was to hurt it. How do I do that?I don't use my strength; I use my words.Everyone held their breath as they watched us. The power that was leaking out of Lucian's body got stronger and stronger,
