15.“But—”He didn't give Selene a chance to talk and struck first. She was quick enough to block.Dominic had the feeling that she was holding back something. As he trained with her and watched how she kept dodging and blocking his hits, he figured she might be holding back and tried his best to make her fight like a warrior.Selene knew what he was aiming for and she wasn't going to give him that. She won't let her strength be exposed that quickly.When that didn't work, Dominic stopped and looked at her. “That's all for today,” With that said, he dropped his sword and was about to walk out but stopped.Selene dropped her sword and came to meet him.“Who is that guy you were with a few minutes ago?” He asked.“A friend.” She answered.He turned to look at her. “A friend? Are you sure he is just a friend?” He asked and she nodded.“Why are you asking?” She asked.Dominic cleared his throat. “I was curious.” He replied and walked away.Selene walked out and met Naya.“I've been lookin
16.“I know you want that, Apollo. I'm giving you an opportunity to prove your worth.” Ares smiled.Apollo shook his head. “If I do what you are asking of me, I would be betraying the council.” He argued.Ares chuckled. “What do you expect?” He asked.Apollo shook his head. “I can't do that. What do you think—”“What I think doesn't matter, Apollo. All I want is your cooperation. I'm not going to kill Selene. No, I am not that ruthless. We're only going to make her get stuck in the Werewolf world. With her there, I'm sure you'd have better access to her while I take over as the god of the moon. I know you enjoyed spending time with her today. Don't you want more?” He asked.Apollo sighed and he could feel his resolve weakening.“I'll give you some time to think about it. And note, this is solely between the two of us.” He chuckled and disappeared.Apollo sighed and sat down as he thought of what Ares had told him. It would be a dream come true for him if he is able to get Selene and
17.“Stalking you? I don't understand what you're talking about.” Selene answered with a frown.“You don't need to feel ashamed, Selene. You're free to stalk me. I am not good-looking for nothing.” He self praised and Selene scoffed.“If you know me, you won't be so proud of yourself.” She chuckled with a sneer.Dominic frowned. “Why are you here?” He asked.“I was taking a stroll and stumbled upon this beautiful place. Why are you here?” She asked and he sighed.“Well, this is my hideout.” He answered and Selene furrowed her brows.“Are you for real?” She asked.“Yes. I came here to relieve myself of the day's stress. So, I'd appreciate it if you leave.” He ordered and turned to leaveSelene smirked. “Why should I leave?” She asked, aiming to annoy him.“You have every reason to leave because you don't belong here.” He answered.“How sure are you about that?” She asked, and he turned to look at her questionably. “Your name isn't engraved on anything here, which means it doesn't belong
18.Dominic walked into the school the next day and looked around, expecting to see Selene but couldn't find her. He walked into the class and met Naya. He recalled seeing the two of them having a conversation the other day and guessed they were close, so he approached her.“Hi,” He waved at her and she stared at him in shock.Was he talking to her or what? She turned back to check if he was talking to the person behind her but there was no one there.“I'm talking to you. What's your name?” He asked.She tried to open her mouth to speak but it seemed all the air had left her lungs. Dominic facepalmed. This was the problem he had with the girls. They were always nervous and short of words whenever he was talking to them. This was one of the unique things that differentiated Selene from them. Selene could look into his eyes and speak, but these ones…He sighed and waved his hand in front of her face.Naya regained herself and cleared her throat. “My name is Naya.” She answered.“Okay, Na
19.“So, what is your decision?” Mr. Ethan asked Selene. He had called her to his office to have a word with her.“You haven't clarified things to me. How are you related to Dominic?” She asked.Mr. Ethan smiled. “Why are you asking?”“Because I want to know what I'm getting myself into.” She answered and smiled back at him.“I am his Uncle,” He answered and waited to see her reaction but she stared at him like she was expecting him to say that. “Aren't you surprised?” He asked.Selene cleared her throat. “Of course not because we all know what happened 20 years ago during that war. You chickened out and I'm sure you want to get revenge to make your guilt disappear for betraying your brother.” She scoffed.Mr. Ethan sighed. “No one knows the full story, Selene. Besides, how did you know I chickened out?” He asked.“It was said that those who fought alongside Alpha Maximus, Drake's father, all lost their lives. You were his brother and were supposed to stay by his side, but what did you
20.That night, Dominic sat in his room as he reminisced over what had happened in school. He didn't know what was happening to him. He didn't like her one bit, so why was he being drawn to her so much?Sometimes he would crave her presence and other times, he would just want to see and stare at her, and he didn't like this feeling at all.He found Selene weird and strange. He believed she wasn't his type, so why was she having this sort of effect on him?He stood up and paced around the room. He recalled the times they had spent together even though they always ended up arguing and talking back at each other.There was that time at the archery spot and also in the forest as well, then school. He didn't know when he smiled as he remembered how she had pouted the other time.When he realized he was smiling, he growled and sighed painfully then walked into the bathroom. He stared at himself in the mirror as he continued to think about her.“Damn, how do I get her out of my head?” He aske
21.Selene returned home, feeling restless. This hadn't happened to her before and she was finding it real hard to navigate her way around the numerous things happening.She looked at the standing mirror in her room and rubbed the sign on her forehead. She hoped it would disappear before morning came.“I knew it!” She turned to see Artemis standing with her hands on her waist.“I knew you were going to be here sulking,” She said and dragged Selene to sit down. “Stop looking this way, it doesn't suit you.” Artemis pouted.“I'm worried, Artemis. The fact that I have no idea what's going to happen next makes me nervous. If I had all my powers, it'd he easier, right?” She asked.Artemis sighed and nodded. “Yes, it'd be easier but what else can we do? You don't have them and you must get them.”“The moon chose me and I made a terrible mistake.” She sighed.“Hey, stop blaming yourself for whatever is going on. Quit pouting and putting the blame on yourself already. I know what you're capab
22.Ares left the underworld, feeling happy and content with himself. He had made some secret plans with Hades and Hades had promised to unleash one of his most dreaded demons. Everything was working out fine and he loved it. Soon, the throne of Olympus would be his and the death of the moon goddess would be his joy.*Apollo was seated in his room when Ares appeared. “I came to hear what you have to say, Apollo. What is your decision?” He asked and Apollo sighed.“Is this how you disturb people? Are you that desperate?” He asked and Ares chuckled.“Yes. I am very desperate and I wouldn't want a little god like you to delay my plans.” He answered.Apollo rubbed his forehead. “There's something I want to figure out tonight. When I'm able to find what I'm looking for, I'll get back to you,” He said.Ares watched him for a while and disappeared without saying a word.“I just hope this works out, so I wouldn't have to do this.” He muttered to himself and sent a text to Selene.****Selene
