Rise of Athena Chapter 15
Lightning flashed illuminating the room for one quick second and as a result, brightened her too. He cupped her head slipping his fingers through her coiffure that was now loose at the end of the day, he moved his thumb across her cheek in slow deliberate strokes savoring the feel of her soft skin. He slowly moved his hand behind her neck and his fingers worked to massage the tense muscles there, the small sigh she let out stirred dangerous things in his depths. The only sounds in the room now are the sounds of the heavy raindrops on the roof and the music of their frantic heartbeats.Her eyes were now closed, her lips slightly parted, he couldn't resist, he leaned in and felt the unmistakable sharp edge of her blade against his biceps.“Leave.”She sounded -to his dismay- betrayed. He stepped a few paces away from her gave a pained mock salute not even bothering to hide his hurt and left the room with an uncomfortable throb between his legs.His walk turned into a run in the heavy downpo

She looked at her reflection. The maid had helped her don a simple day dress. The clothes were modest ones, not at all fit for an Alpha. And that was the reason she was going to order a new wardrobe, not because she wanted Alexander to see her in them. Not at all. He had run for hours at full speed-his injured shoulder had healed almost immediately as he shifted to wolf form-but even that couldn't erase his pain or anger as soon as he crossed into his territory, his pack. His people, who share the unique link with their Alpha, all felt it. He emerged from the forest with a tortured look on his face, wearing tattered trousers he had held in his mouth while in his wolf form. He saw not less than 500 of his soldiers, all in wolf form, prepared to spill blood. But no one will harm their car. He protected her at all costs, but who would protect her from him? He threw his head back and gave a loud animalistic roar, the sound attracting those who lived in the remote part of the pack and hadn
Rise of Athena Chapter 17
Athena rose from her bed with a dulling pain in her heart, one she tried so much to ignore but kept coming back. Everything about her was slowly succumbing to the absence of the annoying footman. She tried not to think too much of him but kept failing miserably every single time. She even snapped at Damien when he tried to make a joke about Alex's absence. She didn't want to be his mate but that didn't give anyone the right to talk carelessly about him in her presence. The gossipers around the palace have found a new rumor to spread, some said she discovered that he was not her mate, others said he rejected her cos of her stone heart, the bold ones went ahead to say that he had had a fill of he Rand decided that she was no longer worth it. All these Athena heard through the use of her discreet footmen planted across the village. Some of her footmen had wives that blended into the villages and got useful information for her. A knock on the door startled her and brought her out of he
Rise of Athena Chapter 18
Alex POVI ran towards the boarder of my pack in my wolf form. It felt so good to be back home and finally in my rightful position so I used the opportunity to fulfil my plan of inspecting the boarder patrol and getting information directly form them. They have been sightings of rogues near my boder recently and it's not something I usually take lightly. No matter how lienient I am with ruling my people I do not joke with thier safety.The bidders needs to be reinforced, since most neighboring packs decoded that j haven't been in the pack for some days they might want to attack. My people are not happy with the whole leaving the pack for so long but I am doing it for a good course. I'm am doing it for the woman that has captured my heart yet successfully destroyed it. Opps sorry I'm over reacting, she has played with every ounce of my love. Athena is my mate and it's not just easy to let her go just like that. As weird as it may sound, I have fallen in love with every bit of her, ev

"With your permission of course,” He paused. “With a woman as head strong as she I fear you may be faced with a rather difficult choice, Your cara or your people. I hopoe that it does not come to that but if it does, it shouldnt be an option." He added then left, and Alex released a long breath as he watched him exit the door. He went to the balcony where his people were rapidly gathering wanting to see their Alpha for themselves. He truly missed his people. The time he spent away from his pack felt like a few months instead of the few days it actually was. But when he was with Athena it felt like a few hours. If someone were to take his devotion to his pack on one hand and his love for Athena on the other, and place them on each side of the scale, the scale wouldn't tip to any particular side. Even as he missed his people he yearned to go back to her, he was already exhausting the eighteen days after which he knew he had to come back to his people with or without her. The problem was

She left the threshold and stood by his chair."You do realize what he said is true right? Her blood has to be spilled."He heaved a sigh before answering. "I know Ciara. I just can't explain the weather a felt when he posted a threat to her.""My husband said you're going back tonight. When will we see you again?"He pondered her first few words for a few seconds. Soon he`ll be able to call Athena ‘mine.’“The next time you see me, I will be with your Queen.”“Alex.” she placed a hand on his shoulder as she usually does to comfort him. “What if she rejects you? What will you do then? Have you considered it?”“It not an option to be considered. The balance of the entire kingdom depends on her acceptance.”“So you hope to keep lying to her till she accepts you?”“Yes! So mind your business.” he angrily brushed her arm off his shoulder.“As you mentioned her acceptance affects the entire kingdom so it is my business.”“For now I will give her space and then I will woo her and she will f

Even if she could mask the emotions on her face there was no hiding her racing heart,“You came back.” The quiver in her voice was barely there as he lightly stroked the tiny hairs on the nape of her neck exposed by her high updo. It was barely there but he heard it. He smiled and as soon as hse saw it in the mirror she seemed to remember her role of playing hard to get. “The next time you touch me, ot`ll be the last thing you do with thos e hands.” She took several steps away from him. “Is that your heart or your brain talking?”“They are one and the same and you would do yourself a favour to heed those words.”He took a step closer wondering if she would move back. She didn’t. she was looking straight at him-glare was more like it- daring him to come closer and touch her.He thought of Ciara`s advice, what if athena was just too scared of what she felt to admit it. What if he had to give her a push, just a little. Perhaps Ciara was actually wiser than he thought.“I`d say I`d die h
Rise of Athena Chapter 22
She woke with a start to the pounding of the door, immediately taking in her surrounding she paused as she saw Alex now in human form under her sheets, the same sheets she had been tucked into presumably by Alex himself before he helped himself, she looked to the once trosseau of luxurious clothing which was now a heap of ash and tatters of fabric strewn around, among them she recognized a piece of his clothting, no doubt torn as his body morphed in to a wolf to pull her from fire. Fire. The same thing whic she had just used to punish him he saved hetr from. Sh wasn’t even about ready to think about what she had seen in her hallucination. She looked to his hand which was laying above the crisp white og the sheets. Althiugh the area under and wround his hands were slighly blackened from the burn of his skin. Two things came to hermind. First, He negleted his own pain r=and even risked worsening it in order to save her despite she being the fashion er of the disaster that occured within
