"I like that!" Before she took a drink from her glass, Aphrodite laughed and hiccupped.Fowol hissed at Eros, "I told you not to give her any more." The second tried to act like he didn't know his mother might have had more than three glasses of wine."I think we should turn it up more," Aphrodite said with a hiccup. I'd like to see them get dirty. YougetwhatI'msaying?" She spoke. Her words were starting to run together, making it hard for people to understand what she was saying. Even so, the goddess didn't seem to care much because she drank the whole glass of wine and then held it up to Eros again.Fowol hissed at Eros, "Don't you fvcking dare!" and gave him a lethal look. She was holding on to her own glass of wine with a little too much force as she tried to stop a hiccup from coming out of her mouth. She was just as drunk as Aphrodite was.Eros didn't take her threat seriously, so he poured his mother another glass of wine before lifting the bottle to his lips and drinking almos

Athena’s POVI didn't look at him. I didn't say anything to him. I kept my eyes on what was in front of us. I was set on getting to the frozen valley as soon as possible. Only Lucian didn't seem to feel the same sense of urgency as I did.I didn't have to look at him to tell that he was slowly getting more nervous. His worry was in the air, and I could smell it. I could hear the storm inside of him blowing.We moved faster today because we had wasted so much time yesterday. We had to get to the place we chose today, or we'd be late, and I didn't like being late. I was sure that in this situation, we couldn't be late.When the first cold wind came from the direction we were going, it made me feel better. It turned out to be bad for Lucian. The temperature was starting to drop as it got darker. The plateau we had been walking on for a long time was now slowly going up.It was a sign that we were now on the land mass that joined the eastern valleys and the woods. This didn't make Lucian

Some things are better off not being known.It took a minute for his words to sink in. What could be so bad that no one knew about it?Even though he had just told me not to think about it too much, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about it even more. What does it mean? Was it something from his past or someone? Was it an old god that he pissed off who was hiding in the valleys? Was it one of his relatives?No matter what it was, I knew it wasn't a threat. It's not possible. After spending so much time with him, I've come to realize that the Drakonians hiding in the valleys didn't bother him at all. This was not what I expected. He seemed to be hiding something much darker and more dangerous from everyone, but now it was about to come out in front of everyone.I told Lucian again, "This isn't how it's going to work." "I need to know what's out there. I'm curious. I must know! So many of my warriors are going out there with me, and I don't want them to die for no reason." I was ver

I couldn't believe what I was seeing as I watched the lycan catch his breath and then brush the snow off his long hair and thick animal skin coat."Why did you want to see me?" Next, I asked him a question while narrowing my eyes at him. I still had my sword in my hand and was sitting up straight, so I could hit him if he tried to do something funny."I just wanted to check on you and make sure everything was okay. Where's the problem?" After he cleaned up the snow, he asked me to come back. His loose hair hung over his forehead while he tied a big bun out of his dreadlocks. I sat there and watched him do his small grooming routine. As he worked on his hair, my wolf was already noticing how his muscles moved. I thought I had seen him do that before.I wasn't going to just believe that. Why would the king of all chauvinists travel through the mountains in the dark during a snowstorm to see a she-wolf that he would never consider his equal? I knew that he had a strong reason for coming

Athena's POV"Let's find out what's going on with the river," I said as I looked down at the river running through the valley. If you listened closely, you could just barely hear the sound of the river water over the low whistling of the northern air.As I listened to the sound of water, everything seemed to go quiet all at once. This made me a little confused, but when I looked over my shoulder, I saw my wolves looking at me with a mix of fear and confusion on their faces."What's going on?" I wanted to know. A few minutes ago, they were all talking, but now everyone was quiet."Are we headed for the river?" One wolf was brave enough to ask.I told him, "Of course we are," and there was another moment of silence."But we were told not to go there,""You've been working for me for more than a couple of weeks. You should have figured out by now that I don't really care about the Emperor "I let them know. Some of them swallowed, and some of them nervously nodded at me."We're going dow
The King's Rebel Chapter 43
Athena's POVWe saw a group of Drakonians in the distance trying to shoot at what looked like a strange creature climbing out of the river. I tried to move forward to get a better look at what that thing was, but Lucian had his fingers tightly wrapped around my arm to keep me moving forward. I tried to free my arm, but he gave me an angry look, so I decided to keep my mouth shut for now."What's it?" I whispered in surprise as I looked at the thing that was chasing the drakonians northeastward."That's a Cephylon," he said in a whisper, keeping his eyes on the Drakonians as they ran away. "Once it gets a hold of you, it will drag you back to its nest and feed you to its young,"""Wow, they sound like a lot of fun! Trust me, "Lucian gave me another angry look, which I chose to ignore. "We need to go back a mile or climb higher to set up camp because it looks like we've gotten very close to them," he said next, looking back at the horizon where the Drakonians had disappeared."There's n

"Athena, listen to me or..." He stopped talking as his eyes got deeper into me. I wasn't going to give up so quickly, of course.I had to find out what was in the river that was making him so upset. If he didn't want me to go into the river, he would have to tell me what was there."Otherwise?" I growled and gave him a hard look. In an instant, the whites of his eyes turned black as night. Near his eye sockets, veins started to show up, and a bloodthirsty look crept up on his face.No more threats or warnings were given. He just did it, and he did it quickly.Just a moment ago, he was standing in front of me, but in the blink of an eye, he had me on the ground and his lips were on mine.When his lips hit mine like a meteor, a strong wave of sparks went all over my body and shook everything inside me. The way his hot lips moved against mine was painful.The worst part was that my body had already started to react to him without asking the rational part of my brain for permission. I tri
The King's Rebel Chapter 45
Athena's POV"Not far enough?" I was so surprised that I had to ask him questions. When I heard him say that, I was about to lose it. I looked at him, expecting an answer but he remained quiet. "Tell me Lucian what did you do? Did you kill your family for the throne too? I want to know,""You don't have to know. You'll hate me," He returned."What makes you think that I don't hate you already?" I asked pointedly. My words seemed to have fuelled something dangerous in his eyes."So you hate me?" He questioned darkly."Why wouldn't I?""It's very childish to hate someone just because they called you ugly. I didn't even mean-" I interrupted him with a growl. Just his blatancy and obnoxiousness were enough to hate him. He didn't need to open his mouth to say something or do something to make one hate him.One didn't need to have a particular reason to hate him. His simple existence was enough for one to hate him but the mate bond and the wolf in me strongly disagreed with this. I guess I
