29.“You're going to seduce her?” Byrce chuckled. “Are you sure about that?” He asked.“Oh, you watch and see how I'm going to make her fall helplessly in love with me. She already has a crush on me and I know it. All I have to do is spice things up.” He answered.Bryce shook his head. “Why do I have the feeling that this isn't a good idea?” Dominic scoffed. “This is why I hate sharing some of my plans with you. You're a show spoiler!” He snapped.Bryce laughed. “It's because this idea is bizarre. I'm not saying you can't pull it off. What I'm trying to say is that you might end up falling in love with her in the process.” He relayed.Dominic waved it off with his hand. “That's not going to happen. I have a heart of stone.” He responded proudly.Bryce shook his head. “It's inevitable, Dominic. You're a wolf, she's a wolf, you two are mates. When you go too close, remember the spark.” He warned.Dominic took his words for joke. “That's not going to happen. She is the one you should be
30.“What! What did you say?” He asked.Queen Bathsheba sighed. “Just sit and hear what he has to say, dear.” She gestured to his seat, and he sighed before sitting down. Bryce took a seat too and Queen Bathsheba gestured for the Alpha that had come to propose marriage to proceed.“Now, the soon to be Alpha is here, it'd be good if you tell him what you just told us. I think he will have a say as well in this.” She smiled at them and the elders nodded.Alpha Draco Russel stood up, and smiled at the people before him. He was an elderly man with lots of strengths and vigor; Alpha of the Wild Heart Pack, the pack Dominic wanted to form an alliance with. He saw marriage as the best way for this alliance to be made.“Greetings. I come in peace actually. We all know that the Wild Heart Pack is the second largest Pack in the country. We take after the Golden Sword Pack, which is this one. I want to form an alliance through marriage because that's the only way I think our bond and friendship
31.Dominic stormed out of the throne room in anger. Bryce, who had already heard their conversation sighed and followed Dominic to the car.“I just don't get why mother suddenly changed her mind. What the heck did that man say to her?” Dominic asked as Bryce drove them to school.“You know how royal families are and how much they value marriage. I think that's why she changed her mind.” He answered but Dominic wasn't convinced.“Alpha Draco must have given her an irresistible offer. That man is a cunning wolf!” He snapped and Bryce chuckled. “But, seriously, I'm not happy with this. How can she tell me to do two things I don't feel like doing?” He asked.“If I may give you good advice, I think you should go for Selene. She is your mate afterall.” Bryce suggested.“And risk my kingdom? Hell no! I don't want to go for Matilda either. When she returns from overseas, I'll know whether I'm in love with her or it's just a stupid childhood crush.” He expressed and Bryce nodded.He wanted to
32.“What the heck did you just say?” He asked, glaring daggers at her.“Let's ditch school and have fun.” Selene repeated and Dominic scoffed.“You've got some nerves, Selene.” He frowned at her and looked away.Selene tightened her hold on his hand and he looked back at her.“You were the one that brought about the friendship offer stuff and now you're turning me down. I know you're stressed out and in a bad mood and I want to help you because you're my friend. Is that bad?” She asked and he became lost for words. Selene pouted cutely. “Please, just for today. I want to see what out there looks like on a normal school day.” She smiled at him.Dominic didn't know when he smiled at her. When he realized it, he frowned immediately and cleared his throat. “Fine, but do not go too far with me. I don't like people!” He warned and she nodded excitedly, happy that he gave in.Her hand was still on his and as he looked at hers in his, he couldn't help the warm feeling that crept up his heart
33.“You want me to pay for your ice cream?” He asked her, emphasizing on the word “your”Selene rolled her eyes. “Duh, didn't you bring me here?” She asked and his eyes widened.“You literally dragged me to this place.” He folded his hands.“So, are you trying to tell me that you can't pay for a lady's food?” She frowned.“It's not like that.” He facepalmed.“Then it's like what?” She asked, feigning annoyance. “Fine, fine.” He muttered and brought out his credit card then gave it to the man. “What about you, aren't you going to take some?” She questioned and didn't wait for him to answer. “Sir, give him whatever flavour he wants.” She requested and the man looked at Dominic to confirm if he wanted one or not.Dominic sighed. “Give me the same flavour as hers.” He requested as well and his was scooped and given to him.The man swiped his card and handed it over to him. Selene dragged him to a bench and they sat down. “Thanks for the ice cream.” She beamed but he didn't answer her.
34.“You ditched school just to get ice cream and have fun?” Bryce asked after he returned from school that day and met Dominic at the dining.“Yes, and I don't regret it one bit.” He answered.“What! When did that start? You hate ditching school. Don't tell me that mate of yours has started influencing you badly.” He folded his hands.“Aren't you hungry?” Dominic asked, pointing to the plate of food in front of Bryce.“What I'm talking about now is more important.” He retorted.“Than food?” Dominic chuckled.“What's wrong with you?” Bryce asked.“Nothing. It turns out going out was all I needed. I feel much better and my anger has died down,” He said as he remembered what he and Selene did. The girl was wierd but she sure knew how to cheer someone up. Before he realized it, he was already lost, thinking about her. He could swear that he was trying to control himself with her acting cute like that. He didn't want to repeat the mistake of kissing her again.Bryce stared at his friend a
35.“Come on, Selene, you've got to tell me what happened between you two.” Naya nudged Selene and she sighed.Ever since she returned to the classroom, Naya had been pestering her to spill what she did with Dominic after ditching school the previous day. She keeps trying to tell Naya that nothing happened but Naya was way inquisitive and won't listen. She believed something happened between Selene and Dominic and would stop at nothing to drag the truth out of Selene's mouth.“It's nothing.” Selene answered but Naya wasn't convinced.“You've got to tell me. I know you're lying. You can't ditch school and tell me you didn't have fun together.” She folded her hands and glared at Selene.“Well…” Selene trailed off, not knowing where to start from.“Uh-huh, I'm listening.” Naya waited to hear what she had to say with an excited glint evident in her eyes.“We ate ice cream and had fun in the amusement park while talking about random things. That's all.” She answered with a shrug and Naya c
36.After everyone left the place, Selene still sat there, thinking about what Bryce had told her. “There's no way I'm in love with him, right? I mean, I don't think about him all the time, and I don't wish to see him everyday either. I'm just with him to take my powers back and leave this place for good. There's nothing else happening to me, right?” She questioned herself.Now, she wasn't even sure about her feelings anymore. With a sigh, she folded her hands and looked around the place. Maybe it was just a phase and it'll be over soon; maybe it was her powers in him messing with her; or maybe it was… “Love?” She scoffed to herself. “Oh, please!” “Selene?” Naya called and she turned with a start.“How long have you been here?” She asked.Naya sighed and sat with her. “Long enough to hear you babbling gibberish to yourself. Are you okay?” Naya placed her hand on Selene's shoulder.Selene sighed and massaged her forehead. “I'm fine. Just thinking about a lot.” She answered.“Whateve
