Athena A Love Of A Thousand Years Chapter 28.
Zeus. Later... We have just finished dinner. It was quiet. Only the soft melody of harp music drifting from the music player filled the silence between us. I had my kitchen staff go all out. The main course was slow braised cultured venison in ember berry wine reduction, accompanied by smoked root vegetables, caramelized onion purée, and ancient heritage wheat bread baked in geothermal stone ovens. Now we slowly eat our dessert. Solar caramel tart layered with vanilla bean custard cultured from bio dairy cells, topped with crystallized berries and edible silver petals. “Did you enjoy the main course?” My voice finally breaks the unsettling silence between us. She lifts her gaze from her serving. Her beautiful eyes settle on me. Despite the nervousness lingering in them, she's breathtaking tonight. I'm glad I chose this dress for her. This burgundy dress. It fits her perfectly. It was among some contraband clothing that once belonged to a highly successful and wealthy

Athena. Saturday, May 19th. Next day. Night. I sit in front of the mirror, slipping on the last piece of jewelry sent by Zeus. My shaky hands try to clasp the expensive onyx and diamond necklace into place, but they are too unsteady to succeed. “Damn it.” I curse in frustration, pulling the necklace off my neck and flinging it onto the bed. Tears sting my eyes as I shoot to my feet, pacing the room. My insides tighten with guilt, anger, and second thoughts, all at once. What am I doing? Planning to have a dance in the next few seconds with the cruel Battle Chief? The same man who slaughtered my people? A groan rips out of me. And I'm doing this for myself. Just so I can feel that mate bond we're supposed to share, before death comes for me. Just because, for once, I want to feel like a woman. I want to be adored the way a woman should be. Before death snatches me. The long burgundy lace dress I have on, courtesy of Zeus, sweeps across the marble floor as I cross back to the

Athena. “Shall I proceed?” Commander Zeus asks me. I stare at him, confused. Dazed by a heady feeling I cannot quite understand. “Proceed with what, Commander?” I whisper, staring down at him as he kneels between my parted legs. Only the Commander's cloak is draped carelessly between my thighs. I suddenly feel very self conscious. At this moment, I have no other barrier between the Commander and my naked body. Only the cloak. Slowly, I try to rise. But his palm against my abdomen stills me. Then he brushes his lips over one bare thigh. A shaky gasp scrapes out of me. “Commander…” “Shhh…” He straightens and kisses my lips. Tenderly. Unable to help myself, I kiss him back. Oh, by goddess Eliora, I can die now knowing I kissed those beautiful lips of his. I cannot believe my own body betrays me like this. “Not Commander when we're like this...” His eyes travel over my body. Then he kisses me again. “Zeus...Call me Zeus, Sweetheart, when we're in this state.” He pause

Athena. The instant our eyes lock, my wolf senses spring to life. Survival mode kicks in. I step back, giving myself room. Calculating my next move. Then the Commander's brows pull into a frown. His shoulders stiffen. He takes a cautious step toward me, both hands lifting into the air. Without another thought, I morph into my hybrid form. Bones and skin shift, retreating as my anatomy distorts before the Commander. My lethal vampire fangs instantly unfold inside my mouth. My eyes turn bloodshot. A piercing roar rips out of me as I finally transform into the beast I truly am. The one I was told never to reveal. Behind me, heavy footsteps thunder through the corridor. Gasps of shock and fear tear into my thoughts. My breaths come out heavy and beastly. My bloodshot eyes remain locked on the Commander. He doesn't move. He simply watches me. Carefully. His hands remain raised in quiet surrender. My form stays untouchable beneath the shield spell I cast earlier. My hybrid abilities i

Athena. Later, Night. I pace the room anxiously, weighing the next actions I’m about to take. Weighing my probability of success in all of this. Since my guard left, she hasn’t returned. And neither has she sent in a replacement. Whatever resentment she bore after seeing their Commander order the hospital project for our people must have burned hot. It must have equally affected all the other guards. I stop in front of the door and draw closer. I twist the door knob and quietly open the door. Not a guard in sight. The entire hallway is empty. Only the low hum of the state of the art appliances and the hidden security alarms. Gently, I shut the door and take a step back, crossing to the window. When I reach it, I gently sit down at the base of the window, cross legged. My gaze never breaking from the moon. My arms outstretched, palms spread wide in reverence. “Oh Eliora, the moon goddess, tonight, I come before you as a humble witch of light.” My voice comes out small. Trembling

Athena. Battle Chief’s Residence, Silvaton Wing. Meanwhile. Seated at a reading desk in the Commander's room, I stare in shock at Commander Zeus Ironheart as he makes his announcement. The novel I was just reading lies forgotten at my side. Did I just hear him right? The Commander just announced his intention to commence building a hospital for our settlement. Emotions suddenly stir inside me. Suspicion. Disbelief. Guilt. Shame. Could I have misunderstood him? Why is he doing this now? Should he be trusted? “What is the Commander thinking?” the female guard stationed in my room cries out in obvious protest. I twist my gaze toward her. But she isn't looking at me. She's glaring at the television. “He can't be serious. I must go find out what this is all about.” She cries again, already rising to her feet. She doesn't even spare me a glance. She just marches furiously out of the room and slams the door hard behind her. I flinch, then slowly turn my gaze back to the screen. He
