(Athena POV)
I did not go home immediately. Because I don't want to waste any of the limited time of freedom that EL gave me. Tss. I'm not stupid enough to thank him. Because first of all, I am a free person.
I held El's card inside my pocket. Tada! This is mine for now! It wasn't just Aunt Matilda who hindered my desire for nightlife… but also the limited money in my pocket.
Ahaha. Now that I have this opportunity, first one on my list is to avoid the upcoming crazy marriage that EL offered me… I smiled as I think about it. My plan is to find a guy who could pose a threat to EL.
I heard that people go to a bar to find someone, and with this card in my possession, I can afford to enter any place I want. But of course, I can't enter an exclusive bar if I'm wearing this. And people will immediately recognize who I am if I look this simply. Let’s wear some make up!
I need someone who can par against EL. I don't wan
(Athena’s POV)When we arrived at my target bar, it was perfect. I was immediately greeted and opened the door for me. I revealed out my leg that has never wore a short skirt. The striking stiletto heels which Mia trained me to wear before. Ahihihi. It's time for the show.I am a witch tonight. I will tempt and deceive someone who is richer than EL and spend all his money to keep me away from him. I hope… that what I have in mind is right. My imagination is in full effect tonight. But the question is, is there anyone else who is richer than EL?Maybe there is, the rich anonymous people who doesn't want to reveal themselves to the world. They prefer to have a private life. There are such people, and I also prefer that.I walked inside and was immediately greeted by the music. It was melodious in my ears. There are only a few people inside. Obviously, the women also look glamorous and sophisticated. Vampires… and a few w
(Athena POV)All men are crazy. They can't get enough of women. Tsk. *hic.They sat down on a couch; the women surrounded Darrell. Sluts! I can't stop being angry seeing him like this. That's not my Darell right there!Those who don't let go of him will taste my right palm! Wait… Darrell and I are not in a relationship. So, I don’t have that right to do that so.Meanwhile EL is forcing me for us to be together. Haist. My life is total madness. It hurts because the hope of living quietly with Darrell was broken by what I'm witnessing. Tss.I'm curious, is there still a sensible, loyal vampire or werewolf? Haist. Not one more, I guess. NO MORE!Let's just look for a human, Athena. They are way more sensible than these arrogant creatures. But there's a downside in choosing a human, we're incapable of challenging a vampire nor a werewolf in terms of physical attributes. Will I just give myself up on EL? *hi
(Athena POV)“Tss. Don't be ridiculous.” I refused Darrell’s offer to me.“I can. Besides, I'm aware that he just forced you to..." Darrell insist. I gave him a force smile.“If you help me… What are you going to do to me? How can you offer me help? What do you want in return?” It was direct to the point questions because I really don't want to prolong the conversation. I feel like my eyes are about to give up from the drowsiness I feel."Become one of us." What? I felt like I was suddenly deaf, but my brain kept saying what Darrell said. “The Grand Alpha's heir hates our kin. Maybe he won't chase after you once you become one of us Athena.”I opened my eyes and stared at his face then I raised my head again. I pointed a finger at Darrell then I laughed.“You are really smart. Ahaha. That idea didn't even cross my mind. You're right, EL really doesn't like vampires
(EL's POV)My father and I was left alone in the room, he already dismissed everyone who came to this meeting. It was late at night, and I wish Athena is already sound asleep and most of all... safe. I have yet to hear a word from Lucah. My time was occupied by the meeting earlier."Vampires are secretly causing chaos and I know you are ready for what might happen El.""I am a father."“We need to find the missing ingredient of the serum. If not, the peace I have devoted my time to will completely put in vain."“I won’t disappoint you father. I have a plan, and since it is clear to me that something bad happened to the Curie couple because of Yana… the memories erased from Athena need to return. Maybe she knows what the ingredients are in that serum.”“She was only seven years old when that happened. But I guess we should still give it a try. We've tried other things and that's the only p
(EL POV)"Prepare the documents." Lucah just nodded and signaled to the staff. I will not be surprised if there are lots of postponed documents that needs to be signed and studied. We are not the type of creatures who always like to have their hands stained with blood. We also play a big role at the economy of the world, that is one thing that keeps order to every race.MONEY.The one who possesses money is considered to be a powerful person.I tried to focus on the papers, but I look up at Lucah again."Could you tell me that Athena is okay?""She's fine Master EL." He answered immediately.Haist. Why did I even ordered Lucah not to go into detail about Athena's information in the first place? I've known him for years and he's always been very obedient.My mind wandered trying to talk to Athena. But… I know she can't hear me. She is not a werewolf.I was just able to focus when I opened the compu
(EL POV)The car immediately reached Athena's village and I carried her to their house. Her Auntie was surprised to see me… she thought I was with Athena the whole time I left. Lucah stopped her from following us into Athena's room. I don't want to hear what she's saying. I just want to hear the explanation of this woman, Athena.I carefully laid her down on her small bed. I sighed deeply. My blood is boiling with rage. Don't you know that what you did is purely unacceptable?! Apart from that, it was also dangerous.You will really do everything to escape from me, huh? I'm sorry but I won't let that happen. You're mine…I put blanket on her and closed the door. I stayed inside her room. The lights were turned off but I could still see the vague figure of a woman lying on her bed.Still, I respect her innocence. Even if I want to punish her with what she's done, I can't fully claim her yet. But I'm warning you Athena,
(EL POV)I was silent… while I circle the wine inside the glass. Two female vampires are slowly approaching me. I could sense that they want me to check them out. Tss. Never.My father has presented me with a lot of vampire women in the past, maybe I just got sick of their physical features. Tss, I don't see anything amusing in them, they bore me with their elvish faces and lanky limbs.Suddenly, I felt a woman's hand caressing my shoulder. Lucah stopped it and then twisted her hand. The woman's plea was heard shortly after.The poor woman was helpless with what Lucah was doing to her, until I myself nodded at him. He threw the woman's hand away making her loose her balance and land on the floor. I turned to the woman and threw her a poker face."I'm sorry about that, I am about to become a loyal and faithful husband.""Loyal and faithful." I heard Darrell speak, then he put the glass down on the counter after drinkin
(Athena POV)I was awakened by the light peeping through the curtain, when I opened my eyes, I gave out a slight yawn. Then I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling. The light was not fancy… which just means… I am not in a place in connection to EL.I sat on the bed, then I smiled to myself. That's right! Everything that happened was just a dream. Oh wait? Aunt Matilda was inside my room. She was staring at me as if she had been waiting for me to wake up.Then she opened the window and the bright rays of the sun greeted me making my eyes squint. It was as if I'm a vampire.“Oh Athena, I think this is the last time you will experience freedom from your future husband. I did not fail to remind you that werewolves are very possessive of their partners."I stretched out my hands and just ignored what Aunt Matilda has said. I'll do everything I can to prevent myself getting married to that bastard. As long as there
