WAR GOD Chapter 13
“Yes,” Ares replied curtly, glancing down at her to see her reaction.He could feel her grip on his hand get tighter and laughed, reading her thoughts. She seemed terrified of the idea of living in the same house as a man, a strange man like she thought he was.“I…I…I’m not sure about that” she stuttered, her anxiety was getting the most of her. Her thoughts were beginning to run wild already.“Don’t get yourself worked up, my apartment is large enough to hold five people. You’ll have enough space, and I’ll stay out of your way.” Ares assured her.Sara let out a sigh of relief, just as the elevator came to a stop.Ares led the way into the apartment, leading her by the hand, his cold hand was already familiar with her warm hand.Sara felt a warm feeling of acquaintance as she stepped into the apartment. There was something weirdly acclimated about the place.“So, here we are,” Ares said, letting go of her hand reluctantly, his hand felt empty and cold without hers.Sara felt his hand

Vera walked through the hall to her room, she threw off her robe. She wanted nothing else but to lay in bed, it had been a completely offsetting day for her.She sauntered to the bed, she let out a sigh of relief as she fell lazily on it, spreading her sore limbs. She stretched a little, rolling over to her side as she went over the happenings of the day in her mind.She hated Steven's guts, she thought, but she knew he didn't deserve to die, at least not like that. And murder?? He was a prideful man, a rich one at that, so Vera saw no reason why he would kill himself.She felt some pity for his mother, a poor woman, she took so much pride in him and his death must devastate her much. She made a mental note to send her condolences to the grieving mother when the air cleared a little.Her mind drifted to the office, the reason she was a major suspect in Steve's death. She thought about the anonymous donations and silently blessed whoever it was for they're generous, it's hoping that on

"I'll leave you two together, I still have some things to sort out at the office before calling it a night." He said, excusing himself, glancing between the two women." Call me if you need anything". He concluded, planting a firm kiss on her temple, a blush stained her cheeks at the thought of how fond she was becoming of his affection. Ares turned to leave, giving Anna a pat on the shoulder as he walked past.Anna moved closer to the bed, studying Sara's face, astonished by her beauty."You have the prettiest honey brown eyes I've ever seen, Sara" she complimented sincerely, taking a seat beside her on the bed."Thank you, Anna" Sara replied shyly picking at her fingernails, "although I'm used to people calling them boring" "Well, I beg to differ," Anna said. "You are a musician?" Anna asked when she caught sight of the guitar and an ukulele leaning on the wall."Yes," Sara smiled "You must have been playing for a long time now," Anna guessed from the worn look of the instruments.

Ivan stepped into the house, waiting for Vera to lock the door and lead the way.Vera wanted to avoid Catherine's hawk eye from following Ivan around, so she led him straight to her room, locking the door behind them.Ivan scanned the room, turning around, not much had changed he noticed.Vera placed the flowers on her dresser, turning to give Ivan a seat. Ivan looked handsome as always and somewhere in her heart, Vera was happy that she'd had the opportunity to call this fine man her husband.“Please sit,” she said, pointing to the bed.“Thank you” Ivan replied, withdrawing his hands from his pocket and taking a seat at the edge of the bed."I'll just shower quickly, and then we can go,” Vera told him, walking towards the bathroom“Okay, take your time,” he said, settling comfortably on the bed.Vera took a hurried shower, threw on a towel, and went to the wardrobe.Ivan stared as Vera walked out of the bathroom, his prying eyes following her. He watched the droplets of water fall fr

Ares stepped out of the elevator into the dimly lit hallway, shaking his head gently, as if willing the remnants of the thoughts of his father to disappear.The hallway led to the sect arena, where the new gods held their meetings and deliberations.He opened the door of the arena gingerly and was greeted by emptiness, he was used to it, always making sure to be present several minutes before the other gods arrived.He walked around the table, tracing his hands on the chairs slowly as he made his way to his seat, which was at one end of the table.There were ten seats in total, four on each side and two on the opposite ends. The table was made from oak with black chairs around it. They were portraits of a few extinct gods and those who had been destroyed in the war, with a large portrait of Prometheus on the wall just above Ares' seat.The door opened with a gust of wind and sand flying into the room, Ares lifted his head to see who it was, but the doorway was empty for a couple of mi

It was an unusually longer ride than it should have been, Vera could feel the tension between them grow.She couldn't quite place her hand on what it was, but she could feel it, and she guessed he did too.She turned to look at his expressionless face, with his eyes focused on the road. Ivan felt her stare linger on his face and smirked."Take a picture, it will last longer," he said cockily chucking a little, glancing at her."Oh please" Vera whined, embarrassed she got caught staring. "Here we are," Ivan said, pulling up in front of the giant building that was her company.He stopped to take out his keys and turned his attention to her."Ivan," she said softly, taking his hand in hers, wrapping her soft little ones around his."I never got the chance to say thank you, for everything. I wouldn't be here without you" she said quietly, appreciation laced in her voice."Hey, it's nothing. You worked hard to earn everything you have today, I just gave you little pushes when you needed

“We could lie low and still do something” Athena reasoned.“That doesn't completely count as lying low” Osiris argued, turning to the rest of the sect with his palms stretched open.“True” Ares agreed with him.“But, lying low without doing anything doesn't seem right to me” Athena disagreed further. Sitting back and folded her arm, grumpily.“It was just a suggestion, Athena, we haven't concluded on anything yet, so stop sulking.” Mother Isis scolded.“We'll take them out one by one, not as a group,” Ares suggested “But we don't know their number” Hades said“Which is why we have to send out spies and find out,” Ares said, “If one of the spies escaped as Hades said, they probably have some information about us by now” he concluded, looking around the room.“What if we lead them on, let them find us and strike first? That way we get to see their number and capacity and know how to counter-attack.” Apollo suggested, his eyes cast on the desk as he drew Indistinctly on it with his fore

Ivan walked back to their initial seat. He sat with his hands clasped on the table as his thoughts wandered. This just confirmed his guess, they were greater than them.He knew just which of the new gods killed his spy, there was no way they could've defeated him or come back home alive.He knew it was Hades, Hades had brutally eliminated his spies. All he knew because he had fought with the god of the underworld. In his immortal form, Hades was terrifying, with his black cloak and flame-lit eyes and his three-headed guard dog.Hades had a distinct smell, which Ivan had perceived on the remains of the spies.Artemis put down the phone on the table, staring intently at Ivan, he looked in deep thought, and she hated to break it, but she had to.“Hermès should be here any moment now,” she said as she waved to a waiter to take away the cold coffee and replace it with a fresh one.“Did he find anything?” Ivan asked. “He didn't say anything to me,” Artemis said.She sat impatiently, wonder
