WAR GOD Chapter 122
Ivan stalked back into the house after a while, his hands looking bloody, walking in and heading straight for the kitchen.Running his bloodied fingers under the water, he rinsed off quietly. He had broken his promise of not taking the god form until he told Vera. But he could not help it, that needed to be dealt with, and he did just that.Slipping the ring back onto his fingers, he took back his human form.Tearing the shirt off his body, he threw the bloody material into the bin.On second thoughts, he took it out, shuffling through the bin and putting it at the very bottom.And fishing for bleach, he scrubbed at the sink to get rid of the smell of blood, Vera was very observant and would probably notice if he left things carelessly.He walked back upstairs after staring at his work and nodding his head in satisfaction.Vera was still curled up on the bed in a deep sleep, her hands around herself and one left outside the duvet.Ivan scooted her properly on the bed, throwing the co

Sara stood still in his embrace, he felt very familiar, everything about him did, his smell, his touch, and even his voice.When he finally let go of her, she did not say a word, she just stared at him intensely and took her seat beside him.“We have been looking for you for so long, you have no idea.” He said, gazing at her.“We?” Sara asked, her eyes lighting up.“Yes,” Hermes answered. “Me, Ivan, and the entire sect of the old gods.” “You all have been looking for me?” Sara asked again to be certain she heard right, all this while she had thought she had no people or family, the whole time she had a whole one looking everywhere for her.“I am glad we finally found you,” Hermes said with a smile.“I am glad you did,” Sara said, getting emotional.“I told Ivan about you, he was so happy and wanted to come too, but I did not know. If that was okay seeing as it was our first time meeting.” Hermes said. “Oh,” Sara exclaimed.“Yeah, so I asked her to let me come first, and maybe some o

Vera slowly opened her eyes to meet a dimly lit room, she tried to move but realized she was tied to a chair and, her back and her legs both fastened to the chair.She sat still and surveyed her environment, squinting her eyes to adjust to the darkness.She hoped her plans with the alarm had worked, so Ivan would get her out of here.Heavy footsteps sounded outside the door, and she traced herself to whatever.The same men from earlier walked in, but this time they were not alone. Vera gasped at whom she saw behind them.“Artemis?” She called out in surprise “This can't be” Vera said, laughing.“It is being Vera,” Artemis said, walking to stand in front of Vera and crouching down to her level, ok the seat.“Is this some kind of joke?” Vera asked surprised.“No Vera, I wish it was, but it is not,” Artemis said in a strict tone.“Does Ivan know what you are up to?” Vera asked her.“I won't tell if you don't tell,” Artemis said, cocking her head to one side and staring up at her.“He is

“We need you back, Ares”“This company needs you back”“The sect needs you back”“Get your shit together before it is too late” Everything Athena just said resounded in his mind as he paced the floor of his office.Ares thought about all that Athena said before she left, he could make sense and meaning out of it. He had slowly let himself go because of the whole Eve and Sara issue.Picking up his keys, he dashed out of the door, he needed to clear his head and get his shit straight like Athena had advised.He glanced at his watch as he waited for the elevator to stop, contemplating if he should get some whiskey.“It's a little too early for whiskey.” He whispered to himself as he walked out of the building.Ares decided that coffee was a better option than whiskey since it was still too early in the day.Ares sighed as he sat in his car, shaking his head to clear off his thoughts as he drove away.The ride to the café was a short one, which Ares was grateful for, and he was there in

“No!” Ivan yelled when he saw the dirty booth marks on the clean wooden floor.They were not Vera's, they were big and looked like they belonged to men about their size.“It's still a little wet.” Hermes pointed out, bending to inspect the marks properly.“They were here not too long ago, and they took Vera with them.” Ivan guessed.“Let's check outside the house,” Hermit suggested.“Okay,” Ivan said, following him. “How did they get in here,” Ivan mumbled to himself.“We will never know,” Hermes said, leading the way out of the house," only one way to find out.” “There are tire marks here,” Ivan said, squatting down to get a better look.“ Looks like it belongs to a van,” Hermes said, staring at the tire marks.“Where do we begin the search?” Hermit asked, “Should I call for backup?” He asked again.“No, not yet.” Ivan said, getting up and dusting himself, “Keep them on alert, though, we might need some backup.” He said walking to inspect other parts of the house.“We should involve

“Sara,” Anna said looking at her with tear-filled eyes, “you don't understand, Ares trusted me, with almost everything.” “I know that, Anna,” Sara said, wiping the tears that threatened to fall from the corners of her eyes.“We had a plan and everything but I… I just could not watch him keep you away from your people.” She continued, “I had to choose between doing what was right for you and keeping my loyalty to Ares.” “Look at me, Anna,” Sara said, shaking her shoulders gently and urging her to look. “You did the right thing, and it is not your fault if Ares does not see that, okay.” “Okay,” Anna said, nodding, and wiping at her face, trying to gather herself before they walked in.“Ready?” Sara asked. “Ready” Anna answered, exhaling long and loud.Sara knew he was in, she expected him, his car was parked carelessly outside and one of his headlights was still on, it was daytime so she wondered why he had it on in the first place.Ares raised his head when he heard the door open,

Vera sat on the floor, still and silent. She had stopped struggling to untie the ropes that held her feet and hands bound together, as it had proved futile despite her efforts.The world seemed to be tranquil the whole time she had been here, and time was something she had no knowledge of currently, so she could not decipher how long she had been in here.She surveyed her surroundings, her hand resting on her knee for support, she guessed it was almost evening already as it got colder.Her teeth clattered as she shivered from the cold that seeped into her body from the thin fabric of her pajama shorts and shirt, which originally was Ivan's.She could feel the onset of a migraine and her eyes rolled to the back of her head as the world spanned before her eyes, she was dizzy and lightheaded.Lulling her head back, she rested it on the wall, her eyes falling shut, and she drifted off into a dreamless sleep.“We have other things to attend to,” Ivan said, getting tired of her gimmicks, “s

“Can we talk?” Ares asked when Sara finally left her room the next morning.“Good morning to you, too,” Sara said sarcastically with an eye roll.“Good morning Sara.” Ares said “Sorry” he muttered.“What do you want to talk about?” Sara asked as she walked into the kitchen with Ares following close behind her.“About yesterday and every other day before that,” Ares said. “What about it?” Sara asked, pouring herself a bowl of cereal.“I am sorry, Sara,” Ares said, walking over to her side.“Ares please…" Sara started.“No, please let me.” Ares pleaded.“Okay,” Sara said, sighing as she made her cereal.“I am so sorry, Sara, I should have known better.” Ares apologized.“I thought I was doing the right thing, but I was not, and just like you and Anna said yesterday it was out of my selfish desires and I did not realize that until yesterday,” Ares said, walking closer to her.“Look, Sara, I love you, so much and it hurts me to know that I hurt you that much. I should never have kept yo
