WAR GOD Chapter 132
Ivan stared at the closed door, his heart raced, and a cold sweat broke on his forehead as he anxiously paced the room.He continuously rubbed his palms together out of habit, glancing at the clock every few minutes and staring beneath the stairs for when she came down.His breath caught in his chest when he heard the bedroom door creak open and Vera calling for him.“Ivan?” She called. “Down here.” He said as he waited for him at the foot of the stairs.“Where are we?” Vera asked when she saw him.“Oh, my other house, I figured after what happened there earlier today, it would be a little triggering to take you back there.” He said, taking her hand and helping her down the remaining stairs.“Thank you,” Vera muttered, walking to one of the couches and helping herself to a seat.“My head aches,” Vera said, wincing as she leaned her head back on the couch.“I have some pain medications and I ordered some food, did not know what you would be in the mood for so I just got a bit of every

Eve sat curled up in a ball, as she thought about all that Ares had said. He did not say much, but he had said just enough to cut deep into her.Her phone dinged will the message from Gede and she turned to look at it. He was asking how she was.With a sigh, and without a second thought, Eve texted him back, telling him she did not feel good and asking if he could come over.Her face lit up when her phone dinged again almost immediately, and it was him.“I am on my way. Do you want me to get you anything, anything at all?” He asked Eve texted back a no and sat back, waiting patiently for him to arrive.A few minutes later, a knock on her door woke her up from sleep, she realized she had dozed off for a bit.“Hey,” Gede called when she opened the door, a small bouquet in hand and a gift bag.“Hey,” Eve said, smiling at the sight of him“I know you said you did not want anything, but I could not come see you empty-handed. So I got you these.” He said, handing her the bouquet and gift.“
WAR GOD Chapter 134
Ivan was happy that Vera took everything well, even better than he had imagined she would.Her curiosity had heightened, and she asked questions about him, his people, the god realm, everything.She wanted every piece of information she could get, and he did not hesitate to tell her and answer every one of her questions.It had been just a day after the whole Artemis incident, and it was almost as if it did not happen.He liked that Vera was not someone who dwelled so much on things, she had since gone past the issue and was more focused on getting to know the real him, as she would say.He had called Hermes a few minutes after he broke the news to her, and Hermes had told him he had guessed Vera would be okay with it.They were both lounging lazily on the couch watching a show that Ivan could be careless about, but Vera was invested In it, so he had to see it with her.The doorbell went off and Vera looked at him as if asking if he was not going to answer it, sighing, he had gone to

Ares had driven straight to Athena's she seemed like his only friend at the moment, or at least the only one who knew a tad of what he had been going through for the past few days.Athena was surprised to see Ares at her doorstep, he had visited her a few times in the past, but none of those times had been unprecedented or unplanned.He had a thing for telling people he was hoping for you before showing up, and never has he shown up with a long face and sunken eyesShe knew something was wrong and did not wait for pleasantries or welcoming, with one hand, she dragged him inside without a word, closing the door behind them “Start talking.” She said, sounding a little demanding.“You sound like a mother ready to whoop her son,” Ares said, trying to lighten the mood.“Yeah, whatever,” Athena said, rolling her eyes at his remark.” talk.” She said, more demanding than the first time.“I think I fucked up big time.” He said, scratching his head as he sat, “Scratch that, I fucked up big tim

Chapter 136“Can I come too?” Vera asked with a smile.All eyes turned to look at her and her smile faded slowly as she realized, she was not one of them. She was human.“Oh, I am so sorry, I just thought…” she stuttered, finding the right words.“I don't think there is an issue with you coming, Vera,” Hermes said, turning to look at Ivan for approval.“No, it is fine really.” she said averting her eyes, “it's okay if I can't come, don't force it.” She said. “Ivan?” Hermes called.“Uhm, yeah,” Ivan said, looking around.“I will be upstairs,” Vera said, getting up and trudging up the stairs to the room.“That was cold,” Hermes commented.“She does not look so happy, you should take care of that,” Sara said, giving Ivan a pointed look.“I… I just” Ivan started.“You just what?” Hermes said, interrupting him, “Man if you don't get your ass off that seat and go talk to her.” He said sternly.Ivan looked between the both of them for a minute, Sara sat quietly but gave him a nod as if urgi

Chapter 137“It's a little chilly out today.” Athena noticed.“Yeah,” Ares said absentmindedly, his eyes focused on the road as he drove.“Hey, lighten up, okay?” Athena said, nudging his shoulders a little.“I am trying,” Ares whined. “We both know you are not.” Athena said, "If you were that frown would not be there and what is that look in your eyes again?” She asked playfully.“Stop it,” Ares said laughing.“Now, look who cracked a smile,” Athena said proudly, happy at her handwork.“Oh please, leave me alone,” Ares whined again. “Not a chance,” Athena said her eyes on the road too.“Look, man, I know you have been through a lot these past few days,” Athena said.“Tell me about it,” Ares said frustrated.“But you will be fine, okay?” Athena said, turning to look at him. “I trust you will be.” She added.“I just need a break, you know,” Ares said, glancing at her. “A break from all these happenings.” “You will be fine so don't worry too much,” Athena assured him.“And how is Sar
WAR GOD Chapter 138
Chapter 138It had been a couple of days since introducing Sara and Vera to the rest of the sect. They had blended in smoothly, especially Vera.She was human and Ivan had been skeptical about it, but he dared not show it, the least Vera took it the wrong way.Sara had been given a warm welcome, they had all missed her, and although she had little or no memory of most of them or her encounters with them, she had accepted them just like they did her.Vera, on the other hand, was so excited to be a part of the old gods, her smile was unmatched and Ivan was glad the sect welcomed her as much.Nothing had been heard from the old gods yet, but Ivan could tell they were up to something.Almost like he could smell their coup cooking. Hoping it was just his overthinking and nothing real. He could not afford any more losses.“Hey,” Vera called as she walked down the stairs smiling at him.“Hey,” Ivan said, his smile matching hers “you look wonderful Vera.” He complimented, staring at her.“Tha

Chapter 139Ares was slowly but finally getting back to his usual schedule and routine. It was hard not having Sara around, and even harder to keep the thoughts of her out of his mind.It seemed like an oddly impossible mission, but he was getting used to it.He had tried contacting her after their encounter, but his efforts had seemed futile.She seemed adamant about not wanting to speak to him, and he had decided to give her the space that she needed.Straightening his shirt in the mirror, he walked out of his room, grabbed his jacket and car keys and walked out the door The sect was finally meeting for the first time in a long while with him there, and he was a nervous wreck.He wondered if they would be willing to accept him back and let things move in like they used to.The ride to the café was short, and he stepped out of his car, with brisk long strides he walked into the café.It seemed half empty and servers hovered over tables with notepads and pens, scribbling orders.Ares
