Novel & Cerita The Mark Of Athena Full Book

Now, as Queen, royal maids would attend to Mariah's needs, but Elena was content to have served her, even if only briefly. “What is this?” Athena said, reaching into her robe to bring out the glowing stone again. However, it was glowing in two different colors. Athena frowned, wondering what it meant. When she finally did, the stone fell out of her hand and landed on the floor. “Elder Athena,” Vasilios rushed to her, the commotion drawing everyone’s attention. Athena glanced at Alaric with tear-filled eyes, “Forget the ceremony, Alaric, quickly, mark her. Mark her immediately.”

"Where are we going?" Brody's smile was cruel. "The Alpha wants to see you." Athena's mind raced as she followed Brody through the corridors. What did the Alpha want with her? Athena's movements, though hesitant, held a quiet grace, a testament to her inner strength. Her voice, barely above a whisper, held a gentle melody, a soothing balm to those who hear it. Despite the hardships, Athena's beauty remained, a beacon of hope in a world that sought to extinguish her light. Her story, etched on her body and in her eyes, was one of resilience, a testament to the unbreakable human spirit.

Athena blinked a few times, and opened her eyes slowly. Her eyelashes lifted in our direction, and her warm brown eyes brushed over us, but she didn't see me. She didn't stare at me directly, but the look of unbelief which spread on her face, followed by her gasp, confirmed that she could see. She looked past me, and her eyes watered. She could see. Athena could finally see. She was finally going to regain some of the old confidence she used to have. What would it be like with her being able to see?

Athena requested, wanting to revisit the books she vaguely remembered seeing on Nyx's shelves. Myla noticed the hesitancy in Athena's words when she claimed the books were for a "friend," but she let it pass, understanding Athena's love for reading. As Myla gathered the books, she brought up the topic of Athena's love life, asking if she had a boyfriend. Athena smiled, replying that she was currently single. Myla remarked how much Athena resembled her mother, especially when it came to matters of the heart. Athena paid for the books and realized she was running late. She promised Myla they would catch up soon and left with a smile on her face, always cherishing the memories shared with the k

Athena stops them both to show Sally the sigil that Albert gave her. "A week after completing the mating process, I received this," Athena gently pushed the collar of her shirt, revealing the mark on her collarbone, which was a crescent moon with a wolf head. "I'm happy for you guys," Sally said with sincerity in her eyes. Athena sighed happily. "Enough about me. I miss you. What happened to your life?" Sally could only shrug. "We're busy with life," There was a double meaning in her words, which Athena understood and made her blush.

“Who cares, Athena? It's your job to keep them in line, not mine. I have to go back; you know the Queen does not like to be kept waiting.'' He briskly walks away, back the way we came, to the dungeon. Athena's lips curl up in disgust as she looks at me, “Hurry up, we have a lot to discuss; bath and clean clothes first, then food.” I follow Athena into her cabin; as she leads me to the bathroom, she explains that the Queen's servants are bound to her by the mark she puts on us. I grow angry as I realize I will wear this mark on my face for the rest of my life, a vine, leaves, and red roses.

The balance is why I said yes to him in the first place. Athena scoots closer to the ripple and peers into it like a child peering into a stream. The not-light brightens for her. On her left wrist, near the pulse, a faint mark shows when the shadow strokes her skin, a braided crescent like three strands woven together. It is not the three thorns of ledgers and polite threats. It is older, softer, meaner if you earn it. Tara notices the mark and lets out a sound like pride and prayer at once.

I stepped aside to let him gather his things. I watched him leave, the weight of his revelations pressing down on me. I had to let him go and try to help our packs in the South. And I needed to finish what I started with Jackson. Approaching the roaring bonfire, I saw the redheaded woman laughing with our pack members. Athena surged forward, demanding we eliminate her. The woman's smile turned to my sister, igniting fresh rage within me. I was on the verge of letting Athena take over when I noticed the mark on her neck and the small bump growing on her belly.

I was on my own with these two. I couldn’t disobey them as they were the ancient oracle’s servants, and I also couldn’t delay ancient oracle. The Alpha King must be waiting, and to settle the issue of his claims, I must take a step. You can do this, Athena. I cheered myself for a moment with a deep breath and hesitantly took my step, and then another, and another until I was seeing nothing but darkness. ‘’The cleansing shall begin.’’ The servants of moon echoed behind me, and then, I heard the door closing with the same small creak.
