#Chapter52Decision-03Dre took deep, calming breaths as the veins around his eyes retracted, and his eye colour went back to its normal brown, almost black colour. "Ok, what the hell just happened," I asked, still a bit shaken by what just took place.I've seen Dre grumpy pissed moody, annoyed and most times angry; however, I've never seen him this furious before."Its cool man, sorry I flipped," Dre told Jace."Uhm, excuse me," he said, getting up from his chair and then teleporting from the dining room table before I could get a word out."I'm confused," Freya said."Its a long story one that Andreas would have to tell," Jace said to her, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear.Awww, they looked so cute.Clearing his throat, dad said, "That's all I needed to talk to you about. Sam, I'd like a word with you in my office." he then got up from the table, kissed my forehead, and walked out."Uhm Cat?" Brooke said with a worried look."Yeah?" "Can
#Chapter53Memory Lane-01ANDREAS POVThe ledge Cat stood on cracked in two, and suddenly she was falling into the flaming river Styx. When I saw her fall, my body moved on its own. I knew she could have saved herself, but I did not want to take any chance on it, so I swooped down instantly, catching her in my arms. She wasn't screaming like the first time I dropped her from the skies, nor was she shaking in fear or panic. Heck, she hadn't even released her wings which puzzled me a bit.Going back up to the floating ledge where my throne sat, I gently placed her on the chair before inspecting her to see if she had been hurt, only to find her grinning like a Cheshire cat. I stood looking at her like she had lost her damned mind."Why the hell are you smiling? You almost died." I all but yelled."Pffft as if," she scoffed smugly."First off, are you forgetting everything you taught me? Even if I'd fallen into the flames, I'd still be fine since I place a protective bar
#Chapter54Memory Lane-02Sad and heartbroken, the dragon king isolated himself from his kind as he mourned his loss. A few years later, Aphrodite returned to earth, and this time she met a shifter. However, this particular shifter was not like the others; instead of shifting into strong beasts such as tigers, lions and wolves, he could only shift into one strong beast, which was a panther. All his other forms were more docile animals, such as bunnies and smaller cats.Because of his peaceful nature, the goddess took a liking to the shifter and, in turn, returned to visit him frequently, and they eventually fell in love. However, due to the obvious that this creature had no human skin presented an obstacle to them being together, and so Aphrodite went to visit another goddess who was not affiliated with Olympus, for she was way more powerful than any Olympian. You may know her as the moon goddess.When Aphrodite visited her, she asked the moon goddess if she could grant the o
#Chapter55Memory Lane-03Weakened by the death of his soulmate, the mighty Dragon was struck down by the angry goddess. Sealing all of her anger and hatred inside his heart so he'd be tormented even in the afterlife. As a result, the Sin of Wrath was born.The Dragon's soul was retrieved by Lucifer, who granted him the title Dragon son of wrath and gave him a domain over purgatory to rule. With the goddess's anger sealed in his heart, the Dragon gained a third form that could make even the gods of Olympus shiver in fear at just one glance. However, the goddess's wrath continued to eat away at the Dragon's soul, and soon enough, the anger he held was the only thing that kept him alive.When I finished my 'little' tale, I looked over at Cat to see her reaction, except there was none. Instead, she just sat there staring at me blankly. This made me very nervous because I couldn't tell what she was thinking. Would she deem my past too messy and not want to be around me anymore? T
#Chapter56Day Out-01CATALAYA'S POV"Come on Cat, you can't hide in your room forever.""Yeah you have to leave at some point plus you can't avoid the poor guy for the rest of your life.""And quit acting like you didn't like the kiss.""Andreas is a nice guy Cat, and it's obvious you both like each other quit hiding from the dude already."Yes, your assumption is right. Here I am, listening to my friends try to 'motivate' me into leaving my room. The very room I've been hiding in for two days now, it's our last day in hell today, and they've planned a day out which I was invited to, but I refused to go, and yes, it was because I knew Dre will most likely be there.I'd been avoiding Dre since our kiss. I knew it was stupid to avoid him, and it's not like the kiss was terrible. In fact, it was the best kiss ever. Although it was my first kiss, but still it was great. The reason, however, why I was hiding was because I was embarrassed. When Dre kissed me, I was on
#Chapter57Day Out-02Sam and Adonis laughed at us as we all began settling in. I wasn't too keen on going into the water. It looked great but I just wasn't ready to go in. I changed nonetheless, deciding to just relax under the shade of a tree and read a book."Hey Cat, you want some sunscreen?" Brooke asked.I raised a brow looking at her, completely puzzled about what she had just asked me."Uh Brooke do you do notice the colour of my skin right," I said, trying to hold back my laugh as realization hit and her cheeks turned red.Merlin, on the other hand, exercised no restraint and barked out a loud laugh at Brooke's expense. Then, she turned to him with a fire in her eyes as she threw the bottle of sunscreen in his face and stormed off. "I'd stop laughing and go after her if I were you," Eric told him."Nah she's good, she'll calm down in a sec." Merlin dismissed the advice."Ha, you obviously don't know your mate. Trust me, dude, if you ever want to have
#Chapter58Day Out-03His reaction to what I said was something I definitely wasn't expecting. He laughed! And I mean big laugh like belly aching rolling on the floor kind of laugh. I sat there looking at him speechless as tears flowed from his eyes and his laughter rang through the air, and though he was laughing at me, I have to admit his laughter sounded heavenly I could listen to it all day."Why are you laughing?" I asked after some time."I'm laugh sorry laugh I laugh just laugh wasn't laugh expecting laugh that laugh to laugh be laugh your laugh reason," he said. Pulling himself together, he cleared his throat and then said,"I'm sorry I just I haven't laughed that hard in centuries. Anyway as I was saying I didn't think that was your reason I honestly thought you hated me I even went to your dad and asked him to send someone else as your trainer when you guys go back," he said with a sad look in his eye."I could never hate you Dre, actually I think it would
#Chapter59Going Back-01 ALANA'S POVI looked around the spacious, elegant room I spent the last two months in, feelings of the reminiscing present. I thought back to all the moments' Lucy and I shared here; The days when my friends and I would stay couped up here for hours, watching movie marathons and teasing each other, especially Cat. The laughter, joy and happiness we experienced were the best summer ever, but now I have this nerve-racking feeling and can't shake it."Babe, could you pick something out for me to wear?" Lucy called from the bathroom."Ok," I replied, getting up from the bed where I sat.Opening her suitcase, I carefully go through it to find something for her to wear. I pulled out some jeans, a black blouse with 'no days off' written on it, and some undergarments. I closed it, then went to another bag with her shoes and grabbed a pair of white Converse shoes. As soon I zipped up the bag, the bathroom door opened and out walked Lucy with a towel wra
