19.“So, what is your decision?” Mr. Ethan asked Selene. He had called her to his office to have a word with her.“You haven't clarified things to me. How are you related to Dominic?” She asked.Mr. Ethan smiled. “Why are you asking?”“Because I want to know what I'm getting myself into.” She answered and smiled back at him.“I am his Uncle,” He answered and waited to see her reaction but she stared at him like she was expecting him to say that. “Aren't you surprised?” He asked.Selene cleared her throat. “Of course not because we all know what happened 20 years ago during that war. You chickened out and I'm sure you want to get revenge to make your guilt disappear for betraying your brother.” She scoffed.Mr. Ethan sighed. “No one knows the full story, Selene. Besides, how did you know I chickened out?” He asked.“It was said that those who fought alongside Alpha Maximus, Drake's father, all lost their lives. You were his brother and were supposed to stay by his side, but what did you
20.That night, Dominic sat in his room as he reminisced over what had happened in school. He didn't know what was happening to him. He didn't like her one bit, so why was he being drawn to her so much?Sometimes he would crave her presence and other times, he would just want to see and stare at her, and he didn't like this feeling at all.He found Selene weird and strange. He believed she wasn't his type, so why was she having this sort of effect on him?He stood up and paced around the room. He recalled the times they had spent together even though they always ended up arguing and talking back at each other.There was that time at the archery spot and also in the forest as well, then school. He didn't know when he smiled as he remembered how she had pouted the other time.When he realized he was smiling, he growled and sighed painfully then walked into the bathroom. He stared at himself in the mirror as he continued to think about her.“Damn, how do I get her out of my head?” He aske
21.Selene returned home, feeling restless. This hadn't happened to her before and she was finding it real hard to navigate her way around the numerous things happening.She looked at the standing mirror in her room and rubbed the sign on her forehead. She hoped it would disappear before morning came.“I knew it!” She turned to see Artemis standing with her hands on her waist.“I knew you were going to be here sulking,” She said and dragged Selene to sit down. “Stop looking this way, it doesn't suit you.” Artemis pouted.“I'm worried, Artemis. The fact that I have no idea what's going to happen next makes me nervous. If I had all my powers, it'd he easier, right?” She asked.Artemis sighed and nodded. “Yes, it'd be easier but what else can we do? You don't have them and you must get them.”“The moon chose me and I made a terrible mistake.” She sighed.“Hey, stop blaming yourself for whatever is going on. Quit pouting and putting the blame on yourself already. I know what you're capab
22.Ares left the underworld, feeling happy and content with himself. He had made some secret plans with Hades and Hades had promised to unleash one of his most dreaded demons. Everything was working out fine and he loved it. Soon, the throne of Olympus would be his and the death of the moon goddess would be his joy.*Apollo was seated in his room when Ares appeared. “I came to hear what you have to say, Apollo. What is your decision?” He asked and Apollo sighed.“Is this how you disturb people? Are you that desperate?” He asked and Ares chuckled.“Yes. I am very desperate and I wouldn't want a little god like you to delay my plans.” He answered.Apollo rubbed his forehead. “There's something I want to figure out tonight. When I'm able to find what I'm looking for, I'll get back to you,” He said.Ares watched him for a while and disappeared without saying a word.“I just hope this works out, so I wouldn't have to do this.” He muttered to himself and sent a text to Selene.****Selene
23.Selene couldn't believe what was actually happening right now. Dominic realized what he was doing and quickly pulled away from the kiss. Selene watched him, her eyes wide open and her face flushed, she didn't expect that kiss at all.“I'm… sorry.” He muttered and quickly walked away, leaving her in her shocked and shaken state.She touched her lips and then looked at Dominic's retreating figure, wondering what came over him that made him kiss her.She placed her hand on her chest and realized that her heart was beating frantically. She exhaled for a good number of times before walking out of the classroom.Selene rushed into the female's restroom and washed her face. “Maybe I was dreaming or hallucinating. Yes, I was totally hallucinating,” She comforted herself as she washed her face repeatedly.When she was done, she huffed and stared at her reflection in the mirror. Concluding that she was hallucinating, she stepped out and walked back to the classroom.When she entered, her ey
24.“He did what! Kissed you and called you disgusting? What guts!” Artemis exclaimed.She had come to visit Selene that night and Selene had told her all that happened. She felt she might go crazy if she kept it to herself and Artemis was her best friend and someone she could share her problems with.“I was so shocked, Artemis. Everything happened so fast and it took me by surprise.” She responded.Artemis frowned. “Do I need to pay him a visit and turn him into a bear or an ape? No, I'll turn him into a gorilla or a pig, then he'll know what disgusting means.” She snapped.Selene chuckled. “Calm down.”“No, don't tell me to calm down. How dare he talk to a whole moon goddess like that?” She asked.“He doesn't know I'm the moon goddess.” Selene found herself defending him.“And so what? That doesn't give him the leverage to do as he pleases. He doesn't know the Future of the so-called pack he's training for is in your hands?” She snapped.Selene sighed. She knew the kind of person Ar
25.“Why do you want to see my mate, mother? It's not like I'm ready to get married yet.” Dominic requested.Queen Bathsheba smiled. “Dominic, I want to know that girl that the moon goddess has chosen for you, is anything wrong with that?” She asked.“Nothing is wrong with that, mother but I refuse to show you.” He answered.Queen Bathsheba sighed. “Dominic, you will soon be the Alpha of our pack. And as the Alpha, you need a mate by your side to rule with you. It's not just about finding someone to love and cherish, but it's also about ensuring the survival and strength of our pack.” She explained.Dominic sighed. He knew his mother was right, but he couldn't help feeling stubborn. He had already found his mate, she did not seem to click with him. He wanted to find someone he truly loved, not just someone who fit the criteria of a suitable mate. He wanted someone who was strong as well, and not so fragile an egg he would have to save her ass all the time. He wanted support and not a
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
