The King's Rebel Chapter 20
Athena's POVI told Lupe how I got to the festival in the end. She and the other girls were all shocked and happy to hear this. I told them about Zeifa, and they were very interested in what I had to say. I don't know when it happened, but soon we all got used to each other. It soon seemed like we were long time friends.Lupe told me, "Your hair and make-up are done, but they are still making your dress." She told me, "You're taller than us, so none of our clothes fit you," and I agreed. Lupe offered to show me around when I wanted to ask what they were going to make me wear. I said yes without even thinking about it because I still wanted to get out of that place.I thought at first that it was just a small wing of the castle where these women would be locked up, but it turned out that it was a whole floor of the castle just for them. Everyone there was a woman. I did see a few men here and there, but Lupe told me they were eunuchs.The whole place was split up and given to different

Athena's POVIn fact, the night was interesting. There was a very different feeling there. Even though the midwinter festival was being celebrated in his kingdom this morning, it was nothing compared to what happened in the court. The people in the court were the only ones who could eat, drink, dance, play games, and see other shows.It was a whole different world there, and for a moment I did forget about Zeifa and the people who would find me there. I didn't feel any worry at all. That night, I was totally caught up in everything. I would have been lying if I said I didn't enjoy myself there.I really liked it!No matter who or what they were, those women knew what they were doing. They really knew how to make people have fun without doing anything sexual. Surely, each of them was very skilled. They were wonderful.At the beginning of the night, there was music and dancing. Then it was time for the drinking games. Otsana was a great host, and I couldn't ignore the fact that she had

"Because you're not pretty!" Lucian's cold voice not only cut right through the dark she-heart, wolf's but it also made the four shadowy beings watching them from a distance gasp.They held their breath and watched as Lucian pushed the she-wolf quickly through the portal.Otsana's hands were balled up. She had never been more angry at Lucian than she was now. She had a hard time believing that he could say something like that for a moment. Otsana had heard it all. She had heard Lucian question a woman's strength and intelligence, but she had put up with his extreme views until now. This, however, was a completely different crime, and he had the nerve to say it to his friend. She was just a small puppy who didn't do anything wrong."I can make his drink bad. It would be simple for everyone, "Otsana made a move. Fowol sighed next to her, and Aphrodite made a laughing sound. While that was going on, Eros was busy picking out the sharpest arrow from his quiver."That wouldn't help at all.
The King's Rebel Chapter 23
Athena's POVLocros gave me a cup of lotus tea and said, "Here." I picked up the cup and looked at the hot brown liquid that was steaming in it. As my hands shook, small ripples came to the surface of the liquid. Locros put his hand under the cup to steady it, then took the cup and put it to my lips. I only took a very small sip. Even though the hot tea burned my tongue, I didn't do anything about it.Locros did notice it, though. He still had that strange look on his face as he puzzledly looked at me and blew on my tea to cool it down a bit. During that time, his eyes never left me. We were in my wing's small kitchen at the time. After calming me down and wiping away my tears, he carried me here. Even though I looked calm on the outside, I was still bleeding inside from the wound Lucian had given me.I would sometimes let out a small sob, and tears would run down my face. Locros would worry even more, and he would always reach out to wipe away my tears. He tried hard to make me feel

Athena's POV"He told me that he didn't want me because I'm ugly!" My words lingered for a while in the empty room and rang in both of our ears.The Queen's dark blue eyes kept staring at me for one more second. She lost it when she finally understood what I was saying."What?" She did. I heard the disgust in her voice right away.Was I the target? Was she also turned off by me?"He told me he didn't want me because I'm ugly!" I spoke again. I had no idea that my words could hurt me over and over again. I cried by myself.Part of me couldn't believe I was crying over such a small thing. Someone hadn't called me that for the first time. People did tell me I looked different when I was young, but it never hurt me this much.The only thing that made this hurt more was that my mate said this was why she didn't want to be with me. It was both very stupid and awful, but he was telling the truth, right? A small voice spoke inside me. I shook it off right away because I didn't want it to be r
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
The King's Rebel Chapter 27
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
