85.“What did you just say? Are you trying to tell me that you left me and asked Selene to be your prom date? Why?” Matilda asked. She was in pain. How could he do something like this to her? She thought they had something going on. Yes, she was aware Selene had been taking his attention these days, but she didn't know he would go as far as making her his date.Dominic shrugged. “Because Selene is the one I like.” He answered and she frowned.“What about me, Dominic? Whose date am I going to be now?” She asked.“I am sure there are plenty of guys without dates, who would love to have you as their date.”“I don't want them. It's you I want!” She snapped but he shook his head. “I seriously have no idea what you see in Selene. She is just an ordinary girl that no one knows where she even comes from. Is that the kind of person you want?” She asked.Dominic smiled. “That's the reason why I like her, Matilda. I love her because she is ordinary and she makes mistakes. She isn't perfect.” He d
86.Selene had just finished her meditation and sat on the chair in her room with her legs crossed. She had a frown on her face. She had done that meditation to see whether her powers were really gone and so far, she saw that she was weaker than when she was in the realm. She hated that.She facepalmed and rolled a magical ball in her hand as she thought of all that has been happening lately. The sound of her doorbell disrupted her thoughts and she stood to her feet, wondering who had come to visit her by this time.She left her room for the living room and peeped through the keyhole. It was Dominic. She opened the door and he smiled at her.“Hey! I bought food!” He exclaimed and showed her the package.“Hi, come in,” She forced a smile. She wasn't actually in the mood to see anyone right now but for him she can make an exception. Besides, she just realized she didn't even cook and hadn't eaten anything.Dominic walked in and dropped the food on the table. He opened up the package and
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
