(EL POV)
I followed behind Lucah until the door was closed to prevent the people from going in.
“The whole activity will be broadcasted live Master EL. So, it would be best if you just stay here than going to each field one after another on every game.” Lucah suggested. I just nodded at him.
“But still, you will be engaged in the ceremony by lighting the torch.” I've been assigned to do this for the past years. Will they every change something during the ceremony? There will be. When I have my own child perhaps.
My own child. The idea made me smile to myself. To have my own child in my arms, that would be a beautiful feeling and a sweet scene. I still don't know who would be the mother though.
Lucah guided me to my assigned room. He knows what kind of room I prefer. A room with a large balcony whenever I want t
(EL POV)Nice. Our arrival was just in time to witness Athena's practice her archery. Her fellow athletes joined her. Somehow, I smiled a bit when I saw her, especially when she's annoyed and her face looking so serious in her target. It's a satisfying picture to look at an infuriated woman, and more so when I'm the reason behind her annoyance. It shows to me a perfect beauty of an art. I observed her from the upper deck. Lucah has brought the new set of bow and arrows. The reason why I asked him is that I remembered that I threw away Athena's bow when we first met. I know it was an expensive bow. She will definitely going to use it in this competition. She had an expensive bow, and yet she was using an ordinary one presently in her practice.I gazed at the different direction and wink to a group of women. My men halted some of the people who want to take
(EL POV)How ungrateful woman. She has to consider herself lucky that I'm giving her this kind of attention. In return, she was really displeased with what I said? What I announced?! That’s a bullshit! She is getting in my nerves. I just laughed but there was something in me that was fuming in anger, especially when she refused. Walked away while she grabbed the guy by the hand. All eyes were on me. I'm not used to be embarrassed like this. For sure, my father knows this feeling of awkwardness because of having Tasha in his life. But me... I can't say the same to myself. What the hell is wrong with that girl?!I massaged the back of my neck and closed my eyes. She's the only girl who has made a fool out of me in front of all these people. Then I opened my eyes and laughed again in annoyance.
(Athena POV)“You've met the Grand Alpha's son before, Athena?” Darrel asked me when we got back to the locker room. I was catching my breath because I had to drag this guy up to here.“That demon? Tsk. It's a long story Darrel, but we don't have enough time for me to tell you every detail of it.” I grabbed a bottled water and stared chugging it down like a drunken guy.“So, you two knows each other?” I nodded at him. Geez, stop asking obvious questions already. He also grabbed a drink for himself, the kind of drink vampires prefer. Blood. They needed that especially during competitions. While humans like me were provided with energy drinks. I wondered what they're giving to the werewolves.“The thing that happened a while ago, I think the statement he said will spread like wildfire after this.&rdquo
(EL POV)I arrived at the assembly hall, applause and camera flashes greeted me. Lucah guided me to my seat. My eyes surveyed the whole place trying to look at all of their faces. I'm looking for a specific face, Athena. That woman. I almost fell from my seat if it weren't for Lucah who fixed my chair. It would've been a shameful scene again for me. Lucah just shook his head to my direction. It was apparent that I'm absent minded after what happened a while ago. And whenever I'm like this, it only means more work will be added to him.Until my eyes landed on a girl who didn't even bother to clap her hands. Her eyes were also fixed to mine with obvious irritation. I just threw a smile at her. She's really a strange one. While everyone where clapping their hands, she had this mean look on her face.What's that look supposed to mean Miss Athen
(EL POV)“EL!” Diana happily greeted me. I responded her with a smile. “Look at this!” she showed me her camera and the pictures she took during the ceremony. She laughed knowing a lot of vampires where in attendance. Their pictures can't be captured by a camera.“What do you think. How can we make a camera that will finally take photos of creatures like me?” She meant about being a vampire. This is who she is. Busy to the stuff she wants to invent. She turned to Lucah.“One glass of our special drink please.” She winked at him. A glass full of blood. Lucah just turn around to get what she asked for.“I think you made a bartender out of my secretary.” She smiles at me, then step closer to me, then about to pinch my cheek when I move a one step aback.“Haist. EL, wh
(Athena POV)Honestly, my hands are trembling and my heart beating so fast. I understand how the tension play in everyone athlete right now. Confidence could not achieve easily if we know that we are not that master in such a field we are sowing our career.I'm already preparing myself, just one more athlete and it's my turn to perform. But I couldn't help not to sign with the bow that I'm about to use. Then I scowled at the present the arrogant guy wants me to have. Tsk. I shake my head in disagreement to use it. Never. I will not use that. He probably might ask something in return. Not anymore. I am already brought last time when he helped me and asked to be his fiancée.I know that I'm going to win in this competition. And if I use that shit, they might think I won just because of my connection to the Grand Alpha's son. Tsk. That wou
(EL's POV)“So, she's here?” Diana could not believe it. “The woman your playing with?” I smile timidly at her. Then nodded in agreement with her. “Yes. And I will prove to you that I'm not in love with her.”“Oh really? Are you sure? Base on your eyes, I can tell that you’re in love with her.”“Hahaha. I just find her interesting, that's all.”“Then show me if I am wrong.”We walked outside to see Athena. I already saw her from the distance. Her face was a bit worried. Why? I instantly know the reason. She will be going to use her old and cheap bow. I gazed at Lucah, and he came closer to me. Whisper…“Miss Athena denied the gift.” I
(Wenziel POV)"Wenziel!" A voice full of authority. I know who own this voice. I stared at him once more. His face was familiar to me. I smirked at him. "Cerillo. Long-time no see buddy." I greeted him as I pull my revolver too. Cerillo, was my former colleague at the WSO. We were both assigned to lead a group. Serving the vampire lord with our pledged loyalty. I know he was still actively doing his things. "Tss. I'm glad you still recognize me. But what happened to you, Wenziel?” The blade finally returned to his hand. “Why did you turn your back on your sworn duty?!" I could see the anger in his eyes, maybe he just found out about the beastly act I made in my own
