I lowered the barbell to my chest, controlling my breathing and staying there for a while before I pushed upwards, repeating the action.
"Ares!"
I moved my gaze when Athena stepped into the gym, glaring at me like she was gonna kill me.
I went back to my workout, hoping I could ignore her. The plates clinked softly as I pressed the bar upward and downward.
"Hellooo... sister here... the one you literally shared a womb with. I have been texting you, but you're not responding. Why?"
"I'm busy."
"Busy? Is this busy?"
I released a sharp breath and set the barbell on the iron behind me, sitting up.
"Yes..." I grabbed a white towel and placed it on top of my head.
"I hate to break it to you, but there's no time to be busy. I have been trying to warn you, but it's too late now."
"Warn me about what?"
She folded her arms. "Grandmother."
I snapped my gaze to her.
"Yes, grandmother."
I pushed to my feet. "She swore she didn't want anything to do with us or Midnight."
