Azarious

chapter 8

'shes waking up now,'

'unbelievable Azarious, how could she not know?'

'father everyone knows about it, i never once thought she didnt know else id have told her myself,' Azarious mumbled.

Athenas lashes fluttered open and she groggily sat up to take in her surroundings, she was in her room, Apollo and Azarious in front of her looking at her in concern.

'how are you feeling now dear,' Apollo asked,

'i dont know really,' she mumbled as Azarious frowned,

'had your mate here not caught you in time when you slipped off the sofa we would have been in a hospital right now with your head in bandages,' Apollo joked and Athena smiled at the warm man, he left shortly after saying he had work to attend to and left them both alone, 

'now i just feel dumb,' Athena mumbled, and Azarious chuckled at the cute expression she was making,

'and why is that,' 

'because Mr. Azarious its pretty obvious you are a greek royal, your fathers name is Apollo which naturally makes your grandfather Zeus, ughhhhh,' she flopped back in bed and covered her face with a pillow to let out a loud groan,

'ill let you freshen up and change,' with that being said Azarious left the room leaving Athena to her thoughts, she felt like the pressure on her doubled now, 

'this is getting too much,' she whispered to herself after getting out of the shower and changing, so she was supposed to not only rule next to Azarious but now she also had to think about how Zeus was literally her grandfather in law, 

if that was a thing, she couldn't even risk the slightest of a slip up because all eyes would be on her,

if something went wrong not only would it be a shame to her, Azarious, Apollo and freaking Zeus himself but it would also bring embarrassment to her family, what if people started questioning her fathers brought up, the feared Dante Salvatore's daughter was a failure?

all these thought swarming in her head, driving her to dementia, she needed air, gasping she dashed for the door and was about to make a run for it when she bumped into a hard chest and arms wrapping around her,

'hey hey easy,' said the deep voice, but Athena was too far gone,

'hey look at me,'

'Athena love look at me breathe, deep breaths sweetheart I've got you its gonna be alright,' Azarious said soothingly, as she buried her face into his chest and inhaled his scent deeply, it calmed her and her lycan down.

They stayed in that position for a while, his arms wrapped around her waist, one hand rubbing her back soothingly as he held her close, while she had her face hidden in his chest, breathing deeply as she clung to him for dear life, 

when she shifted he gently pulled her to her room but she shook her head, he understood her unspoken request and nodded, with one arm around her waist he guided her away from her room and a little further to what he earlier referred to as his room.

When Azarious opened the huge doors Athena gasped in surprise at the sight she beheld, it wasn't a room it was more of a personal condo, like his own lavish apartment,

'i know theres all of this available in the castle but i like my privacy,' he explained from behind her, guiding her inside and closing the doors, it was all glass, she could see the most breathtaking view from his 'room'.

'theres a spell on the glass, i can see everything from outside but no one can see from the inside,'

'or you tinted them, that doesn't require a spell,' she said, and he smiled at her quip and quick wit,
