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
84.“Are you for real?” Selene asked and Naya nodded.“I found out the day we sat by that window, looking at the footballers and Dominic walked away with you. I got to know he was my mate then but I was shocked and when he asked whether I felt what he was feeling, I denied and walked away. I don't think he's interested in me though. He doesn't even look my way for once and it makes me feel bad.”“Wow!” Selene was still in shock. After listening to everything Naya said, she realized her powers were growing weak. She was the moon goddess and giving Nate's was her specialty but then time around, she couldn't even sense anything and all of a sudden, Naya and Bryce are mates.She rubbed her palms together. The longer she stays on earth, the weaker she becomes. She couldn't wait to get out of here.She placed her hands on Maya's shoulders. “Everything is going to be fine. Maybe this is happening to test the love you two have for each other. Maybe he is still in shock and has no idea how to h
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
