WAR GOD Chapter 148
Chapter 148Ivan walked over to the seat beside her, he could see the fear in her eyes, the way her throat moved when she swallowed nervously, the way she fidgeted with her fingers on her lap.“Have you ever thought of having kids?” Vera asked when she saw how he was slowly relaxing into the situation.“Not really,” Ivan said, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees and his palms clasped together.“Me neither,” Vera whispered. “I mean, I have always seen and thought that kids are cute.” She continued.“But having one of my own?” She said, the disbelief clear in her tone, “It has never crossed my mind, not since I became an adult at least.” She added with a shrug.“How do you feel?” She asked, turning to look at him.“I don't know, Vera, I feel happy and sad and overwhelmed all at once.” He said, rubbing his palms anxiously. “Me too,” Vera muttered. “I do not know the first thing about fathering or being a father, Vera, what if I mess it up.” He asked rhetorically.“You will no
WAR GOD Chapter 149
Chapter 149Ares sat at the table going over the war plans when Mother Isis walked in. He had not noticed yesterday, but now that he looked a little closely, he could see she did not look alright.Her eyes were sunken, her eyes had lost their beautiful glow and her skin looked paler than usual.“Mother Isis.” He called, walking up to her. Her steps were uneven, and she looked as if she felt a little dizzy, he noticed that too.“Are you alright?” He asked he had never seen her like this, so it was a little alarming.“Ares dear, I am fine,” she said, walking over to the table to take a look at the plans “Preparing already?” She asked surprised, she knew he was proceeding with the arena, but she did not think it would be this early.“Yes,” Ares replied shortly. He saw her eyes fall, and her face looked sad.She did not support this either, just like Athena. “Son, can I have a word with you?” She asked, walking away from the table towards a quiet corner. “Gentlemen, please excuse me, I

Chapter 150Ivan was shocked when he opened the door to see her. He glanced towards the living room to make sure Vera was not looking.He had to get her out of there as fast as possible.“What are you doing” “No one.” He called back when Vera asked who was at the door.“You need to leave.” He told her. Ares probably sent her to spy on the house, like they did the sect arena.“No, I have to speak to you, and I must.” She said.Ivan could see the determination in her eyes and voice. It would be difficult to get rid of her, and he had to.Something about her was different and he could not tell exactly what it was, he would have gauged her aura, but he was not quite used to using his power around Vera yet.He sighed when Vera asked her to come in, she had as trouble as Ivan knew, but he was unable to tell Vera that just yet.“Please, have a seat,” Vera said, gesturing to one of the couches. “Thank you.” She said with a sweet smile, “You are too kind.” “Oh please, it is nothing,” Vera s

Chapter 151“You are asking me to run away, to leave my people.” She said in disbelief.“No, Sara, it is not like that,” Ares said, trying to salvage the situation.“On Ares, it is exactly like that,” Sara said angrily.“Not when you interpret it like that, what I meant was go into hiding for a few days before and after the war,” Ares explained.“No, Ares,” Sara said with a stern voice and an even sterner look. “Please, Sara, I almost lost you the last time. I do not want history to repeat itself.” Ares said. “Then do not instigate the war, Ivan will not, I know that for sure,” Sara said.“Why does no one understand me?” Ares said frustrated. His hand found his eyes and he rubbed.“Because you are being selfish, and we cannot understand you because we are not you,” Sara said. “You know I thought my leaving would be a sign, or perhaps a prompt for you to change,” Sara said sadly, her voice breaking.“But it was not, you are not even remorseful.”“It is not what you think.” Ares said
WAR GOD Chapter 152
Chapter 152“Who was she?” Vera asked, gesturing with her chin towards the closed door.“Athena, she is one of the gods,” Ivan said, rubbing her hand gently.“From the other side?” She asked. “Yes, Vera. She is on the other side, with the new gods.” He told her.“I think you should. Take her advice.” Vera said, "Send a peace treaty, that's the way there would be no war.” She said thoughtfully.“We can't Vera, we have pride as a people, what do you think will happen if I do send the peace treaty, and it gets rejected?” He asked. “The people will not have it from me,” Ivan said.“I do not think they will reject it, Ivan, you and your people have lost so much to these same people before,” Vera said.“And I am sure they have too, maybe they are waiting for you to send the peace treaty in first.” She finished.“Fine, I will talk to Hermes about it and see what he thinks,” Ivan said.Hermes jolted when the door jerked open and Sara stormed in with a frown.“Easy, easy tiger,” Hermes said,

They had slowly gotten closer and closer.The thought of being here was still etched in her mind, and Gede's presence in her life made her want to stay even more.He had been more inquisitive these past few days, asking about New York, her former job, and her friends, but he never asked about her family.Eve guessed he had figured by now how she hated to talk about it, and when she had mentioned leaving the Big Apple to settle in Bali his eyes had lit up.She was quick to remind him that it was just a thought, she had not made up her mind yet.He was still happy regardless, that she had the thought was enough to gladden him.“So, I was wondering,” Eve began, adjusting on his lap to face him squarely.“Wondering about?” Gede asked, giving her his utmost attention.“Why you have never asked me about my family, or anything relat

Chapter 154Vera yawned in hunger, glancing at the clock and wondering how much longer it would take Ivan to be back.For someone who was just over a few weeks pregnant, her cravings have been over the moon.And Ivan has been a sweetheart through it, running errands and fetching her whatever it was that she wanted He had taken up the task of picking and dropping off files from the office so she could work from home, in the comfort of her bed.“Hey, I am back,” Ivan said I'm a single sing voice as he walked in with her food.“Welcome,” Vera said, giving him a “Thank You” kiss as she settled down to eat.“You look tired,” Ivan said when he noticed her dropping eyes.“I am” she answered with a mouthful.“Vera, what have you been doing?” Ivan asked, his eyes squinting at her suspiciously.“Nothing,” Veda answered with a sly smile and averting her eyes.“What were you doing, woman?” Ivan asked more seriously with a laugh.“Dishes” Vera answered quietly, munching viciously on the food.“Ve

Chapter 155It has been a few days since Athena had tried to convince Ares to go against his initial decision.She had since given up, and now she had resorted to leaving him to himself and focus on work while preparing her mind for whatever was comingHe had been to himself too, and they had only ever interacted on a professional level since then.Each passing day reminded her that she might just be close to the end, it was not something she wished for, but it seemed inevitable.Putting her mind into her job and herself, she put off thought of the war and Ares out of her mind.She had been observing him closely, his countenance was unusually dim, and he carried a long face all day at work. “Are you okay?” She asked when she took a file to him.“Someone has decided to speak to me today,” Ares said, his face still buried In his work.“I speak to you every day Ares, we work together, so speaking to each other is inevitable.Athena said, rolling her eyes at him, she understood what he m
