(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
(Athena POV)But I was stunned to see myself in front of the mirror because, my clothes were different. Where are my expensive clothes plus the handbag where I put the Diamond VIP Card?!"Auntieeeeeeeeeeee!" I dropped my clothes and went back to her. She greeted me with a raised eyebrow."You're the one who changed my clothes, right?" she nodded.“Would you rather get dressed by the man you're about to get married to? Don't get too excited Athena. You are lucky that even though he's a werewolf, he's still a gentleman. He's not taking anything from you until both of you have taken your vows.""Haha." I forced a laugh. Then I held out my hand to her. "The VIP Card, where is it?""I took it. And EL's staff told me that I can't give it to you if you don't know how to spend it properly."“Haist! EL gave it to me.”"I follow instructions very well Athena, so I can't let you have it.""Auntie,
(EL's POV)Lucah put the information about Darrell in front of me. I just found out that he is a half-Pure blood Vampire… And something made me smile even more…He also has the title of a Vampire Prince. So, in all… There is Diana, Luna, and him. But who is Wenziel exactly? Only those with pureblood vampire genes can erase memories.I stood up. Are there more Purebloods around? They are starting to strike back little by little. We should not be complacent. Sooner, they will rise, and they will try to regain the throne back to them.I turned to Lucah again. "How's Athena's blood test?""Master EL, our team is having a hard time determining her blood." I raised an eyebrow."What do you mean, Athena is not a common human?"“Exactly. There is something strange about her. Even though she came from a human couple... Master El, if you will let me speak, I want to conv
(Athena's POV)Where am I going?It feels weird walking pass on some people, they stare at me as if they know me. They avoid me like someone threatened them not to mess with me. I know EL has something to do with it, I'm disappointed of what he's done again! Tsk!I feel like I'm being discriminated. Maybe this is what EL came up to be my punishment for what I did last night.I wonder what's going inside that man's head. And I hope he did nothing wrong against Darrell. Ahhh yes, I gotta check on him…I went to a nearby telephone booth and use it to call Darrell. He's not answering. What could EL have done to him? That bastard is such a jealous fool. Huhu. Maybe I'm just over thinking, right? I don't need to worry about Darell.After a few more tries, I gave up calling. It's almost a miracle that I still memorize Darrell's number. Maybe because he's the only vampire that really got close to me, apart from Uncle
(Athena POV)I checked the nearby market to see what they were selling. I won't be surprised if they mostly sell meat in here. I just hope that there's no chopped humans around this place.This is how it is; they also seem to be living just like how an ordinary human lives. A conversation caught my attention, someone was talking about their Alpha that leads their pack. But EL's father, who is the Grand Alpha is the one they recognize as their lone supreme leader.It was a group of some poor middle-aged men, I overheard them complaining about the difficulty to hunt wildlife in the forest. It's because of the restrictions, because if they are allowed to hunt freely, the animals that roam the forest will surely be extinct.The road is also noisy, it is also important that money circulates in this area. I saw someone who seemed to be staring at me… that's the second guy I spotted who's following me. I'll spot all of them eventually, an
(Athena POV)I just sat on a chair and later a waitress approached me. She handed me the menu, but I just heard that she seemed surprised, so I raised my gaze at her."Are y-you Miss… I-it's you!" She did not continue. She knows who I am? "You are Master EL's fiancée!" She shouted as if she had won the jackpot.I immediately shook my head. Then I tapped her on the shoulder because the rest of the people started to look at our direction. I told you, I am an instant celebrity because of El."No, you got me confused with someone else." I gave her an awkward smile. "Miss Athena and I just really look alike." I decided to make up story. And to be more convincing. “Actually, I always get people's attention because I really look like her. But I promise you, I'm not her.”"Are you sure Miss?" I nodded. I was able to somehow breathe because her face… she looks like she was the one who was embarrassed.
(Athena's POV)It's doable to escape El's men, I know that. So, I sneaked myself out pretending not to know them. I was unaware that they were following me. I trusted that you'll be true with your words EL, why would you break it?I gradually accelerated my pace, then I started running. I jumped over the fence as if I was not a girl. During times like this, being girly is the least of my concern.I hid myself beneath a thick bush and waited for them to pass. I just laughed to myself when I saw them desperately looking for me. I heard them talking that they're practically dead once their boss finds out that they lost track of me.You should just resign guys. There are better jobs you can find than serving a boss who always puts your life in jeopardy. But then again, someone like me will really cause you some headache. I just can't let El win over me.When I came out from the bush, I shook the dirt off my clothes. Today is my day, an
(Athena POV)"Where are you going?"“Ahh. EL just gave me two days to roam around by myself.” He smiled.“Obviously there is no guard around you. Do you know that what you are doing is dangerous?""Huh?"“You are already known to be the future wife of the Grand Alpha's Heir to the throne. Don't you know that many seek to take advantage of their weaknesses? And their enemies think that you are EL's weakness now. They will see you as their target."“Haha, you think so? I don't think that he's that serious to me.""I just want you to be careful. We're not sure when—." Someone suddenly grabbed my small sling bag hurting my shoulder in the process… the culprit who was a kid immediately ran away. I stunned momentarily as Darrell and his companions immediately ran after the kid.He still has a lot of explaining to me about last night… but, who am I to ask for his expla
(Athena POV)A man suddenly showed up because of the noise the kid was making. It appears that he's calling his name... This man is probably the father of this kid.All of a sudden, he rushed at those who hurt the boy. Darrel's comrades kicked the boy in the stomach again to make him fall to the ground, they refused to back down. The kid squirmed in pain and they even stepped on his face.“Old man don't blame us for what we did. We must teach this kid a proper lesson."But the arrogant loudmouth was suddenly thrown a few feet away. I closed my eyes by the loud shout of the boy's father. With a smirk on their faces, Darrell's comrades confronted the berserking father. Darrell was still preventing me to interfere between them.“Has EL really made you this soft towards his people? You used to think that they are the enemy of our society. What did he do to you? They are killing more people more than any diseases and acciden
