87.**8 DAYS TO THE FULL MOON**……Selene sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror. It was finally the day of prom, and heck was she nervous. Artemis had come to help her get dressed, and should I say the goddess literally transformed her.She wore a strapless, floor-length gown in a rich, forest green color. The gown was made of satin and had a sweetheart neckline with a corseted bodice. It was figure-hugging, but not too tight, and it had a subtle train that swept the floor. On her feet, she wore delicate, crystal-encrusted heels that gave her an extra bit of height. Artemis styled her hair in loose, romantic waves that cascaded down her back. She had left some tendrils loose to frame her face, and she had added a few tiny braids to add some texture and interest. Her makeup was kept simple and natural, with a light foundation, rosy blush, and a soft pink lip. But her eyes were the real focus, with smoky eyeshadow and fluttering lashes. As she looked at her reflection, she fel
88.Damon stretched his hand for a handshake but Dominic yanked it away.“Didn't I warn you not to come close to her? I told you she is taken.” Dominic frowned.“Yeah, I got your point. This is just a friendly handshake, nothing more.”“There should be nothing more.” He held Selene's hand and took her away from there as the music resumed. Damon smirked. This was easier than he thought. Soon, everything would fall into place, and he would be allowed to rain down the destructions he desperately wanted.“Selene!” Naya screamed as she rushed to Selene, engulfing her in a big hug.“Oh, Naya,” Selene hugged her back.They pulled away from the hug and Naya couldn't help but gush at how beautiful she looked. “Gosh, you look amazing. Who did your makeup?” She asked.“A friend of mine.” Selene replied with a smile.“Gosh, she must have the hands of a goddess. Everything is done perfectly. I wish to meet this friend of yours one day. She must do my makeup as well. When do I get to meet her?” Na
89.Selene expected this, but now that it was happening, she couldn't believe her eyes and ears. She shook her head, taking a step back.“No, Dominic. You can't love me.” She continued to shake her head.“I can, Selene. I know I wasn't good to you from the beginning. I know I hurt you sometimes, and it was because I couldn't bring myself to accept the fact that I loved you. I thought it was just a phase, but I was wrong. I love you so much. Give me a chance to show you just how much I love you, Selene.” He tried to touch her, but she moved back.“We can't work out, Dominic. I'm not the one for you. I'll end up leaving you, please don't love me.” She pleaded with him.Dominic had no idea what she meant. He felt she was just being insecure since he confessed out of the blue. “Selene,” He called. “You're my mate. The moon goddess gave you to me, and I love you. I don't care what others have to say, I don't care what other people think, you're the one I want. You're the one my heart year
90.THE UNDERWORLDDamon appeared and clicked his tongue as he walked to Hades throne. As he walked by, the demons bowed to him. He was also a respected force in the underworld and was like a second in command to Hades. Hades usually sent him on the most difficult missions.He was a ruthless demon with no remorse for life. We could say he was a playboy as well. He toyed with goddesses and demons, and often got away with it. He wasn't a demon of seduction for nothing.“You're back.” Hades smiled as soon as he saw Damon.Damon bowed. “Yes, I am. I couldn't stand their chit and chatter and had to come here,” He scrunched up his face in disgust and Hades chuckled.Just then, Ares appeared.“You came just in time, Ares.” Hades smiled.“Today is prom. I need to know if that bastard confessed his love to the goddess.” Ares sighed and rubbed his forehead.Damon smiled. “Yes, he did,” “What about Selene? What was her reaction?” Ares asked.“At first, she didn't seem to accept it, but after a
91.After the drink at Selene's place, Naya headed home immediately and was shocked to see her mother awake, waiting for her.“Mother, why are you still up by this time?” She asked.Queen Bree scoffed and glared at her. “You're asking why I am still up? Look at the time you're coming home, princess!” She snapped, emphasizing on the word 'princess'.Naya bowed her head apologetically. “I'm sorry, mother. After the party, I went to Selene's place before coming here.”“Oh really? And you think it's befitting for a princess to stay out that late? What is your problem, Naya? Why are you bent on causing trouble for me?” She sighed and facepalmed.“I'm sorry, mother. It won't happen again.”“Of course it's not going to happen again because you're getting engaged to Prince Leonard in two days!” Her mother snapped and she gasped.“What? Two days? Engagement?” She couldn't believe what her mother just said. Their initial plan was for her to finish her studies at the Academy before the engagement
92.Next day…[7 days to the moon full moon]……Dominic rushed into the classroom and met Naya, seated with her head hung low. He walked to where she sat down and took a seat facing her. Naya looked up and smiled on seeing him.“Hi, Dominic, good morning. If you are here for Selene, she hasn't come to school yet.”“No, I wanted to see you, Naya,” He said, and she dropped the card she was holding.“You want to see me?” She pointed at herself and he nodded. “What about?”Dominic rubbed the back of his head. “By chance, do you know about any restaurant that's good for a couple's date?” He asked and she smiled.“Are you planning on taking Selene out for a date?” She asked.He sighed. “Yes. It's our first date as couples.”Naya nodded. “I do have a list of good restaurants that will be perfect for your date with Selene. I may not go out much, but I can tell you three places that serve the best, but you'd have to make a reservation.” She smiled.“Sure, tell me,” She gave him the names of t
93.After comforting Naya and cheering her up, Selene stood up and made her way to the gym dressing room. When she saw that there was no one there, she transformed into the moon goddess.“Marlene,” She called, and Marlene appeared immediately.“At your service, your highness.” She smiled.Selene smiled back. “Did you notice anything unusual last night?” She asked.“Nothing was unusual, but Princess Natasha of Moonlight Pack cried to you last night. Apparently, she has no idea what is wrong with her mate and why he doesn't want to accept her, and she is hurt because her mother is forcing her to marry a prince of the neighboring Pack for alliance and not her feelings. She feels trapped and needs your help.” Marlene explained.“That's Naya,” Selene facepalmed. “Why didn't you tell me? I didn't get any signal last night. Are my powers weakening for real?”“Do not say that, goddess. I tried to reach out to you, but it didn't work. I have no idea how. Dominic did feel what happened, but I d
qq94.Ares chuckled and stood from his throne. He walked to where Apollo stood and stopped in front of him. “Do you think you can quit the plan because you want to? This is about what I want, Apollo.”“Exactly. What you want is different from what I want, so I don't want to do this anymore. Selene won't choose love over her duty. I should have thought about this before agreeing to work with you. Goodbye.” He turned to leave and Ares chuckled.“When will you stop being naive, Apollo? Selene deceived you. Even a scarecrow knows that she loves Dominic.”Apollo stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Ares. “That is true. I spoke with her last night and she told me—”“She lied to you,”He interrupted and Apollo shook his head.“Selene doesn't lie. She would never lie to me.” Ares chuckled hysterically. “You trust her so much, huh? I'm sorry to break your heart, but you need to return to your senses. I guess you have no idea what Selene is doing now.” He smirked.Apollo furrowed his brow
