"I'll be back soon" Athena smiled, kissing me quickly before she rushed out of the room
"School run?" Seth laughed as she pushed past him out of the office
"She runs herself ragged over those kids" I chuckled

"I bet she'll run herself ragged if you told her about the daughter she's been looking for" he said
I sighed
"Who told you?" I asked
"Adonis" he said

For fuck sake
"He's in too deep with that girl" I said
"He's the only support she has anymore. Sure she's a psychopath. But she's Athena's blood. She has a right to know. It makes her one of us" he argued
"No. She is not one of us. She is a stranger" I defended

A weak defence
But she was a danger to us all
It was better if she wasn't here for now
And if Athena knew, she'd insist she was here
That we protect her
And we can't afford to.

Not with Kallius and Maliah to think about.

"It'll end badly. You know it will" he said
"What do you want Seth?" I asked, cutting him off
"Alora wants everyone at the grave tomorrow. If we are allowed to leave the house" he said

Fuck. We shouldn't be leaving the house
But it was the anniversary tomorrow
Of Leon.
Of my friend.
My friend who sacrificed himself for me

"We can leave tomorrow. Talk to Adonis, find a team to escort us" I said
"Yes... boss" he said, rather bitterly as he left the office
Great. I'm public enemy number fucking one

"What?" Kian said blankly
"You finally decided to show up?" I asked, looking through the paperwork
"What do you want?" He asked
"Really? You too?" I asked

He stood stone faced. Arms crossed
"Athena deserves the truth" he said
"Yeah, that's all I'm hearing at the minute Kian, anything else?" I asked, fed up
"She deserves better" he said
"Than me?" I asked, he remained unmoving

Why was everyone suddenly against me?

I rang her number for what felt like the thousandth time, except now I knew she was with Roan
And I hoped he would convince her to answer

Whether he was now in my favour or she just decided she'd had enough of hiding. She answered
"What?" She said
"You never called" I said
"Adonis" she said, somewhat surprised

"Why didn't you call me?" I asked
"Now now, you're sounding a little desperate there baby" she said
"Valencia" I warned
"What?" She asked, feigning ignorance

"Can you meet?" I asked
"Where?" She questioned
"Anywhere" I said
"Fine. I'll text you a location" she said

"Oh and Adonis?"
"What?" I asked
"Wear something nice hm? Just for me" she teased
"Whatever" I said, hanging up
