9.“Are you surprised?” Dominic asked with a smirk.Selene couldn't believe this guy. It wasn't like they were getting into a contract marriage or anything. It was just a partnership. What has contracts got to do with all these?“I don't really understand how being your Martial arts partner requires a contract.” She frowned at him.Dominic loved the look on her face. Finally, he annoyed her with something and counted it as an achievement.“You know, I am the most sought-after guy in this Academy. I need to bind you with a contract to avoid you going out of bounds.” He explained.“Going out of bounds? How?” She asked and he facepalmed.“Are you dumb or what? Look at me from head to toes, then look around and see how the girls stare at me,” He ordered and Selene found herself doing as he had said. She could see how the ladies stared like they were going to eat him whole. The way some guys stared at him made her think they were bisexual. Like why the heck would a guy stare at his fellow
10.“A drastic plan? Tell me about it?” Selene knew Artemis to be pretty dark and cunning. She was the most quiet among the gods but she was good with hunt and very cunning. She was also a master at making deadly plans. She and Artemis usually got along since she was the moon goddess and Artemis was also associated with the moon.“How about we turn him into a bunny?” She asked and Selene frowned.“Come on, Artemis! This isn't a time to joke around. I really need to draw his attention.” She complained.Artemis chuckled and thought for a while. “What if we ask Poseidon to drown him in the sea?” Artemis asked.“If he dies in the sea, my power dies with him. That's not going to help at all.” Selene frowned.“Okay. How about we ask Aphrodite to make him fall in love with you? That way, you would get back your powers and we wouldn't have anything to worry about.” She suggested.“You can't force nature, Artemis. He has to fall in love with me of his own accord. If I make Aphrodite use her pow
11.NEXT DAY…Selene skimmed through the wardrobe, trying to pick out what to wear from the clothes Artemis had changed for her. She settled on a short black skirt and white crop top.She packed her hair into a bun and slipped on a pair of black sneakers before picking her school bag and dashing out of the house.She stopped a bus and got in immediately. People were already filled up and there was only a space at the back. She'd have to sit close to one of the bullies in school; particularly the idiot that she marked his face to deal with.Selene would have quit the bus but she had already tipped her money. With a sigh, she removed her bag, and sat down, wondering why a soon to be Alpha would be using the public transport.“Hello, pretty eyes,” He smiled at her but she ignored him.He seemed annoyed by her attitude and held her hand. Selene snapped her head to his direction and frowned at him. “Why are you taking a public bus, Luna?” He asked.She yanked her hands away from him. “I sh
12.“He'll be fine. I've given him some pain relieves and since he's an Alpha wolf, he'll heal quickly.” The nurse explained.“Thanks,” Dominic replied and she walked out. He has rushed Asher to the infirmary the minute he passed out. While he watched Asher, he couldn't help but wonder if Selene actually did this to him.He recognized Asher as part of the guys that were bullying her the day they were going for martial arts class and wondered if she had done it to get back at him for it?If she was the one, how and where on Earth did she get such strength? He still couldn't believe it.Maybe it wasn't Selene. It might be someone else because the Selene he knew couldn't be that strong. It wasn't possible. He'd have to wait for Asher to wake up first. Asher would tell him what actually happened between them.A few minutes later, Asher moved and his eyes opened. The swell on his face had gone down and he was slowly healing. He looked around and wondered what he was doing in the infirmary.
13.“How about I try my hands out on this since she isn't present?” Ares asked during a meeting of the gods.Zeus sighed and facepalmed. “I don't know how many things I would have to repeat myself, Ares. You can't take the moon goddess's place. Come on, she isn't staying down there forever.” He scolded.He couldn't comprehend why Ares was keen on taking the moon goddess spot. He already had diverse powers in his grasp. What does he need hers for?“She messed up, Zeus. At least, she should be suspended when she gets her powers and come back here.” He argued.“Yes, we know she messed up but it was a mistake. She didn't know how it happened, so quit talking like she purposely gave her powers to the boy!” Artemis snapped.Ares chuckled. “Her, going down to their word is an offense on its own.” He argued.“Don't forget we go down to earth sometimes too. Sue just went there to see the baby and had touched him without knowing the repercussion.” Apollo defended.Ares was already furious at th
14.“Do you want to kill me?” She asked as he handed over water to her. When she had finished drinking, she dropped it and glared at him.“I'm sorry. I was only saying what I noticed.” Apollo pouted.“What made you say something like that, huh?” She asked.“Don't forget I'm a guy too.”“No, you're a god.” She corrected him.“But I'm a guy now,” He argued and she rolled her eyes. “I saw the way he looked at you and I think he isn't happy that you're talking with another guy.” He explained.“You're getting this all wrong, Apollo. Dominic hates me to the core. He is the baby I'm supposed to take my powers from and up til now, I haven't even been able to touch or have any contact with him. He hates me to the bones and I'm sure of that.” She explained and continued eating.“That's what you think but it isn't what I see. I think he's still trying to figure you out and that's why he's still skeptical and treating you like he hates you.” Apollo explained.Selene sighed. “I just want to get my
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
