WAR GOD Chapter 137
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
WAR GOD Chapter 139
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
WAR GOD Chapter 140
Chapter 140 Vera sat still thinking about all Aunt Marilyn had just said, it was unfortunate that she had toiled all those years with Mr. Anderson, and now everything was gone. She had nothing to show for it, she had lost her son, then her husband, and now the company. “I am so sorry you have to go through this, Aunt Marilyn,” Vera said, sympathizing with the older woman. “Thank you, Vera,” Marilyn said, sniffing. She had to be stung, she thought to herself. “I have something to tell you guys too,” Vera said. “Are you okay?” “Yes, dear, are you okay?” Catherine and Marilyn asked simultaneously. “Yes, I am fine now.” She said, looking at them intensely. She contemplated telling them, of course, they would freak out and her mother would scold her and Ivan for not involving the police like they had promised to. “I was kidnapped, a few days ago,” Vera said letting the cat out of the bag. “When?were?how?” Catherine asked in a panic. “Chill, ma, I am fine now.” Vera said reassu
WAR GOD Chapter 141
“Ares!” Athena called furiously, stopping him in his tracks.To her, the meeting today was not only chaotic but Are's actions and words had made her question if he was still the same Ares she had always known It seemed all of a sudden he was so concerned about getting love and validation from these people that he had forgotten how to do the right thing.She had patiently waited for everyone to leave before she approached him on the topic.What he was trying to do was not fair, and his reasons for doing it were despicable.“Athena” Ares answered slowly turning to face her. “Look, I have made my decision, and it is final, I am not going back on my words.” He knew exactly what she wanted to say, she was going to go on about his decision and he would be damned if let he get in his way.“And you think promising them something like that or going ahead with it is fair?” Athena asked.“It might not be, but it would help. I gain their trust and love again, Athena, and that is precisely what
WAR GOD Chapter 142
Vera waved goodbye to her mother and aunt Marilyn and entered her car speeding off. As she drove home, she realized how much she needed that, she thought as she sped on.Her mother was slowly beginning to be her safe space, aside from Ivan that is.They had been a little distant since Sara came, not that the girl had anything to do with it, but Ivan had been more busy and committed ever sinceAnd Sara had begun training as he had been more invested and involved.Vera winced when she felt her stomach churn and bile rose to her mouth, she tasted the acidic chime rolled down her window and spat out She had been feeling sick for the past two days, and it seemed to be getting worse with time.Rolling her window back up, she sighed as she felt relief and better.The house looked empty as she drove in, the windows were all closed and the lights were out He probably was not home, yet, she thought as she stepped out and into the house.She freaked a little when she found the door unlocked bu
WAR GOD Chapter 143
Chapter 143“We need to do something!” Athena said, looking Mother Isis straight in the face.She had run here as soon as Ares had left, mother Isis was the other person aside from her who thought the idea of a war was ridiculous.Yet, she had refused to speak up or involved in anything that looked like an altercation with Ares. According to her, she already knew he was stubborn, and it seemed his mind was made up, and she refused to waste her time “There is nothing we can do, Athena.” She said weakly. “Understand this.” She added, giving her a pointed look.“Mother, we can't let this happen, we can't let him go on with this,” Athena said, taking her seat opposite her.“You can always, leave.” Mother Isis said instead, making Athena squint at her in disbelief.“Why would I leave?” She asked. “Because you are not okay with the idea of a war, and Ares'mind is made up. There is not much that can be done.” Mother Isis said, going back to her knitting.“Do you even care for the sect, do
WAR GOD Chapter 144
Chapter 144Ivan rubbed her back slowly as she puked into the toilet a little more.“Are you okay?” He asked when she fell quiet, her little pants scared him a little and when she nodded a yes, he scoped her up in his arms and took her to the bed.“I am okay, Ivan, you look like you just found out I'm dying or something,” Vera said, laughing lightly.“Vera, baby, you are sick, and it is freaking me out,” Ivan said, throwing the covers over her.“I am fine,” Vera whined when he cuddled up to her.“No, you are not.” Ivan said, "That is why I need to cuddle you up, now shut up and let me love you.” Vera laughed at his antics, as she snuggled deeper into him, sniffing his scent as she smiled into his neck, taking in all the warmth he brought.“We will check you in at the hospital first thing tomorrow morning,” Ivan said, a note of finality in his voice. “But you have work,” Vera whined. “Yes, I know you do, but you come to work if you are sick now can you?” Ivan asked.“Not Really.” Ca
