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

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

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,

Chapter 186Sara sighed as she looked around the hospital room one last time. As much as she hated it here, she would miss these walls.These blank white walls that she had stared at all those nights when she could not sleep from all the pain that coursed through her, body and soul.Tuning to a waiting Hermes, she gave him a curt nod to signify she was ready to leave.Hermes patted her shoulders in reassurance, guiding the wheelchair out of the room and into the Hallway.Sara smiled and waved at the few patients whose faces she could remember, she would miss them.Not so much, though, but they had contributed one way or the other to her journey of recovery.As they wheeled out of the hospital, she sighed in satisfaction as fresh air hit her face, greeting her and the sunlight cast its warm glow on her skin.The fresh air she felt was a giant contrast to the sterile air inside the hospital, one she had slowly grown accustomed to but was now leaving behind.The scent of fresh air mingle

Chapter 184Keeping her little family private was not exactly a choice that Athena had chosen for herself, but it was what seemed to be right at the time.She had made a family, a small, beautiful one with a mortal whom she had bared herself to.Alex was the one man who had seen beyond her mortality, and even more understood her when she explained who she was.They had met downtown when Ares had sent her on an errand. They had bumped into each other while she was trying to cover her tracks.Something had clicked between them ever since, and Athena could not resist it.Of course, they had met again, and again, and again.

Chapter 183The rest of the ride was quiet, and soon they were there, parked in front of the house, with Ares too skeptical to walk up to the door.“You know we can't just sit here in the car and stare at the door all day,” Anna said, sighing in frustration.“Yeah, I know, it's just… I don't know Anna.” Ares said, his fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly, Ares exhaled a long breath.“Ares, we should go.” Anna urged him, “Let's go, come on.” Anna said, stepping out of the car and peeking in to give him a stern look.“Come on Ares,” Anna said as she walked towards the door.It was evening already, and Anna hoped with everything in her that they were in and would be willing to let them see the child.Ares finally gathered enough courage to step outside the car and all towards the door.Anna had already rang the bell, so she stood aside and waited for the door to open.Walking over to stand behind her, Anna turned to give him a reassuring look before ringing the bell again.This ti

Athena sighed as she rolled over in bed, it was one of those days when she would rather not in bed than get up for any reason But she had plans, and with the company being her sole responsibility now since Ares embarked on the journey of finding his child, she needed to be at the office.Rubbing her eyes for a few minutes, Athena finally rolled out, sitting at the edge of the bed and contemplating if all this was really worth it.Or perhaps she could ditch work and everything else for the day, fall back into her bed, and pretend none of it even existed.Scolding herself, she pushed off the bed and headed for the bathroom to get ready.Getting right into it, she did her morning business. Brushing her teeth lazily as she sat on the toilet bowl.Tearing her pajamas off her body when she was done, she trudged into the shower Putting on and letting the cold shower cascade down her back. Exhaling sharply as the cold cut through her skin, giving her goosebumps. It was precisely what she n
