76.After the bell rang, signifying that school hours were over, Selene took her bag and without saying anything to anyone, left the school premises.Dominic rushed after her and held her hand. She turned to look at him, her gaze lingering on his face. The spark ignited, and she quickly slipped her hands away from him, giving him a questionable look.“Selene,” He called, but she did not answer him.She sighed and turned to leave again, but he quickly blocked her path. “Why are you avoiding me? It's not nice for you to avoid me this way.” He said, and she yanked her hands away from his.He wondered what might be wrong with her. First she was all over him, now she was angry at him. Why was she even angry? Was it because Asher left? Did she like Asher now? Different questions twirled in his head, and he was dying to get answers to them.Selene was silent for a while as she looked at Dominic. She knew her actions were baffling him, but she wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone right now, es
77.When Selene heard the question, her heart thumped in her chest, and she had no reason why. She looked up at Zeus, and at every other person present in the meeting room, and smiled to herself. What was she thinking? The realm was less stressful anyway. She had gotten way ahead of herself and thought she could live like the wolves, but then she realized that it was all just in her head. She was way different from them. They didn't see, hear, think or live like she did, and she forgot about that for a moment and got carried away. But not anymore, she was going to finish her mission and return.She missed helping wolves get their mates, she missed the feeling of being called on for help, and most importantly, she missed the family she was able to make here.Zeus urged her to give him an answer, and she heaved a deep breath.“I'm going to take back my powers on the next full moon,” She said, and the gods exchanged looks. “You might be wondering why I shifted it until then. Allow me to e
78.A week later, it was already two weeks until the full moon, and Selene was determined to do what she had in mind for everything to return to normal. She had been avoiding Dominic the past week, but she wasn't going to do that anymore. After all, she was leaving soon, and it wouldn't be cool to leave him on a bad note.After the martial classes ended that day and the students were dismissed, Mr. Ethan asked Selene and Dominic to wait behind. When everyone had gone, he made them sit down, facing him. Selene and Dominic shared worried looks as they wondered why he had called them.“You don't need to look worried. You aren't in trouble,” He smiled, and Selene sighed in relief. “I called because I would like to request something from you, Selene.”Selene looked up to meet his eyes. “Me? What do I have to offer?” She asked.“A lot more than you can ever imagine,” He replied, causing her to furrow her brows. “I've been watching you for a while, and observed many things. Remember what I to
79.Dominic was still in shock. He couldn't comprehend what his uncle was saying. What did he mean by Selene knew about the war of twenty years ago? As far as he knew, she wasn't born then. He wasn't born either, so how come?“Uncle, how is that possible? How does she know? What do you mean?” He asked the questions as they came into his head at the time.Mr. Ethan sighed and crossed his legs. “I suspected it when I was having a discussion with her some time ago. That was when she resumed and attended the first class. I was talking with her and I mentioned your father. Immediately I did that, she muttered something about the war of twenty years ago.” He revealed and Dominic creased his brows.“She must have read it in books then. There were a lot of books that were Written by witnesses of the war. You even wrote some yourself, so what's the fuss about?” He asked.“It seems you are misunderstanding me, Dominic. I don't think she read it in books, because she talked like she was there, li
80.Ares chuckled and crossed his legs from where he sat. He scrutinized her from head to toes first before looking up at her face.“It's nice to see you, Selene. You look good this evening.” He complimented and Selene couldn't help but scoff at him.“What are you doing here? Aren't you ashamed of yourself? How could you have the heart to barge into a woman's apartment like this?” She questioned.Ares snickered. “A woman's apartment? Last time I checked, you're a goddess.”“So? Am I not female?” She asked.“That is none of my business. I wanted to come into your apartment and I did exactly what I wanted. There is absolutely nothing to be said about that, okay? Besides, school was over hours ago. Why are you just coming back?” He asked.“Are you my dad or something? Do I have to report my going out and coming in to you now?” She asked and he chuckled.“Wow! You're starting to sound like this earthlings and it's annoying. Do you plan on staying on earth? Like forever?” He asked and Selen
81.Next day…Selene walked to where her calendar was and marked it. It was already thirteen days to the full moon, and she was starting to feel nervous. She sighed and took her bath, dressed up and left for school.When she walked into the hallways, she looked around, taking everything in. She was really going to miss this place. The chatter of the students, feel of the environment and feelings that came with knowing that you have a place to be every morning was another thing she was going to miss.In the realm, she was meant to always be at alert in case a wolf might be in danger or something had happened. Sometimes, she would be in the same spot for days without eating and others think it's easy to be the moon goddess?She ruffled her hair. She was going to miss Bryce and Naya as well. She had taken Naya as a best friend, and she wondered how the girl would feel if she came to school one day and realized that she was gone.She knew Naya was going to feel bad, but there was no way sh
82.TWO DAYS LATER…It was twelve days to the day of the full moon. The students giggled as they spoke to each other on what to wear to the prom. A day ago, Mr. Jones had passed an announcement about the prom coming up in a few days. The students were excited and some have even asked their dates out to the dance.Dominic wanted Selene to be his date to the prom, and he wanted to tell her before any other guy did. The past two days had been hell for him. After Damon came, he had been taking Selene's attention away from him, and it was making him extremely jealous. He hated the fact that Selene knew nothing about Damon, but she still gave him a chance to come close to her.After another futile attempt in finding her, he balled his fists and walked to the class, where he took a seat immediately. Bryce noticed that he was in a foul mood and took a seat beside him.“What is wrong, Dominic?” He asked, and Dominic's frown deepened. It was like the question made what was happening to annoy him
83.Queen Bree looked at her daughter from head to toes. She scrutinized Naya with her gaze. When did her daughter get a mate and she wasn't aware? How did it happen?“You have a mate?” She asked to be sure. Maybe she had heard wrong, and through her question, Naya would clear things up and tell her it was slip of tongue or she didn't listen well.Naya nodded. “Yes, mother. I have a mate now, so I can't take Prince Leonard with me.” She answered.Queen Bree signed. “Naya, I am your mother and you know I want the best for you. We both know it's pretty hard for you to find your mate. You've been trying to find your mate for a while now, I can remember that. Because I asked you to marry the prince shouldn't get you scared to the extent of you lying to me about having a mate.” She replied.“I'm telling the truth. This is something very serious and I would never joke with it. I saw my mate in the Academy.”The queen sighed. “Alright then. Why hasn't he asked you on a date to the dance?” She
