26.“What made your decision so fast, Apollo? Did she break your heart?” Ares asked, his voice laced with mockery.“More than you can imagine. I was ready to forget about this damn plan of yours if she accepted me but as always, she walked away.” Apollo answered with a frown.Ares frowned. “That's one thing you should know about Selene, Apollo. She is too full of herself and acts like the world revolves around her. We do all the work here and the werewolves give her all the praise. Still, she doesn't give us our due respect. Do you know why she's always rejecting you?” He asked and Apollo shook his head.“She sees that you are not good for her. Very soon, she might even fall for Hercules or Poseidon and forget about you. She doesn't see you as someone of her class and caliber. She sees you as a liability and waste of space!” He snapped and Apollo gasped.“Oh, don't you know?” Ares chuckled. “The only way you can have her in your palms, all to yourself and prove to her that you're her
27. “Selene knows about our plans.” Mr. Ethan revealed to Dominic after their Martial arts training that day. They waited until the students left and sat on the chair there.Dominic's eyes widened. “What!” He dropped the towel he was using to wipe his sweat clean. “How did she find out? Did you tell her?” He asked.Mr. Ethan sighed. “I only gave her a hint and she figured everything out. She talked like she was present when the war took place. She's mysterious.” Mr. Ethan massaged his temple.Dominic couldn't believe Selene found out what he had kept hidden for years. How was he going to face her and what would she think of him? Not that he cared about what she thought but still… Selene of all people?“What I don't understand is why you would give her a hint.” He frowned at his uncle.“I did that for your own good, Dominic. I wanted her to help you.” Mr. Ethan replied and Dominic scoffed. “Help me? You want Selene to help me? By any chance, did you hit your head on something?” He as
28.That night, Selene paced around the room as she thought of what happened between her and Dominic in school.“What could he be up to?” She questioned herself as she continued to pace around the room.The friendship offer stuff came out of the blue. She remembered him trying to stay away from her during the Martial arts training and just when she stepped out to get lunch and left him with Mr. Ethan… She trailed off in her thoughts. “Mr. Ethan. Could he have told Dominic something about me? He is Dominic's uncle so he'd have definitely told him something,”Selene turned and saw Artemis seated on the bed.“How long have you been here?” Selene asked her and she shook her head.“Long enough to see you walking to and fro restlessly and talking to yourself.” Artemis answered and got down from the bed.Selene facepalmed. “I miss my powers of discernment, Artemis. I'm confused and don't know what to believe. I don't know what Dominic is up to and it's annoying.” She sighed and plopped on t
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.
