(Athena POV)
Until another huge door met us. I heard a joyful noise coming from the inside.
“Are you ready?” he asked me. I looked his way and before I could even respond to him the door already opened before us.
Music and elegance all over the room greeted us in celebration for his birthday. He is the son of the Grand Alpha indeed. In all my life I have never met such an influential figure before. Everyone bowed their heads as we walked in the red carpet. This made me hold on to him tighter. I've never felt so nervous in my life just being in a room with people I've never seen before. The anxiety filled me to the roof. There was a pause on the crowd. Everyone was staring at us, or maybe just me. It’s normal Athena since you were escorted by their prince.
I overheard one of them...
“So, she is the lucky wo
(Athena POV)“As you wish Lord Tyros.” They didn't seem to bother her screaming while they dragged her out of the room. They seemed used to it perhaps. It only shows how they are belittling human.“How did you guys meet?” I looked at the guy who was sitting beside EL's stepmother a while ago. His face kinda resembles the Grand Alpha.“There is no need for such curiosities, Uncle Dagon. I have no interest to share our love story to you.” EL responded and I slightly smiled. Everyone here are arrogant. They didn’t show respect on who is the old ones, but they did respect the throne they are sitting. EL, is the next to the Grand Alpha, that’s only mean even his uncle need to respect him.“Too selfish are we EL?” his uncle closing remarks. This only means that the people I'm sharing this table with p
(Athena POV)I jumped on his neck; he assisted my waist as he spun around. I never thought in my life that someone would be able to do this to me. The cheers and applause covered the music made by the live orchestra. In a moment, he stopped spinning around. Then he wrapped his arms around me, my head leaned on his chest.I noticed that I was already gasping for air. He took my hand and we danced again. I felt like getting sick with what I was doing. Just tonight, a lot of stuff has already happened between me and this pervert. Will I be able to have my revenge on him? But I'll probably just let it pass. Besides, I'm only here for Luk, my father horse.Down to the final move, he twirled me around for the last time and finally gave a conclusion to our performance. He gave me a smile; I wasn't sure if it's genuine or just part of the act. We faced the crowd then they slightly lower
(EL POV)“Father, surely you still have the strength to outlive most of our kind. You will live a hundred of years for sure. By the time you leave the throne, your grandchildren will already have their own kids.”“Precisely. But death is not always the reason why we depart from this world. Don't forget about the phenomena.” He stood up. I know that I won in our argument this time. But... “If you ask me son, I think it would be better if you find a vampire to be your mate. Still, I can't let you win.” His lips cracked a smile.“Humans? They are basically the prey of the two higher races. That girl will only cause your downfall!” I shut my eyes when his thundering voice caused the chandelier light bulbs explode. He wasn't holding himself back. He was aware that I can't beat him to a fight just yet.And I know
(Athena POV)“Where's my father's horse, Luk?!” The prince of arrogant didn't seem to be bothered at all. His attention remained on the book he's reading.“I need to go home now!” I was about to snatch away his book but Lucah stopped me once again. They seemed obligated to protect their boss even from my touch. Wasn't he aware that his boss asked me to dance with him last night? He freely holds me like I am his real lover! That an idiotic act.Huh? Wait. I caught a glance of myself on the mirror. I'm not wearing the gown anymore. My sleep wouldn't have been comfortable if I slept with it. The time I went unconscious last night, it was like a button to make me fall asleep in an instant. I’m wearing white sleeping clothes now. Like the ones they put in one of those creepy dolls.My eyes widened all of a sudden and wrapped my arms around me.
(Athena POV)Yet, EL suddenly held onto his head. This made Lucah rushed by his side. He screamed in pain which made me get up from my seat. I was a bit scared. I did nothing to him.“Master EL.” Lucah try to call his name. But what he gets is a harsh pushed from EL. I didn't know what to do. What should I do?All of their eyes were on me. As if I did something to their boss. Until EL managed to calm himself down. He raised up his hand to prevent anyone from touching him. They move aside and I am bit walking away from them to escaped… but it was really a stupid action I make. How could I escape in this place that heavily guarded and secure? I am making myself laugh to my stupidity.“Go back to your seat Athena.” he barked at me while his eyes were still closed. I slowly took a seat as I looked at him. A few minutes have pas
(Athena POV)I started to eat quietly. After I finished the sandwich, I took a glass of water and clenched my thirst. I grabbed an apple and a lemon to make a fruit drink. There, I'm sure that this doesn't have any potion. I tasted it until...“The fiancée of my amazing stepson.” an old woman. If I remembered correctly, she was the Grand Alpha's wife. I couldn't help myself not to observe her from her head down to her toes. My apologies if sometimes I'm a bit judgmental. “Your alone, where he is darling?” she asked me. This woman was escorted too with several maid.She's also a human, and she's one of those people who took their shots and climb into society by finding themselves a high-profile figure to marry.“Good morning.” I greeted her. If only I could say to her
(Athena POV)“Please excuse us.” EL's secretary gazed at me sternly. He let go of the old lady's hand. Tasha was her name; it was nice to meet her. I guess… “Miss Athena, please follow me.” Eh? I want to protest, but I couldn’t. Yeah, my plan completely ruined.I turned back, but Tasha and I had a staring contest. I already turned my back against her and followed EL's secretary. Then suddenly the old lady grabbed a hold of my hair and started to pull. I'm not the kind of person to back down. I've been feeling an urge to let out my rage since last night! I can't just let anyone treat me like this! I'll do the same thing to you even if your old! You're the first one to cross that line! Remember that!Someone pulled me from her, but they can't stop me from pulling her hair! The hell with her?!Until a strong aura pulled
(Athena POV)Athena, what have you got yourself into? How did your life get so complicated like this?“My family.” I accidentally bit my lip. I'd really appreciate if someone decides to help me. He's asking nothing short but an honest answer to his questions. Oh my! Take your last breath Athena.“My parents died when I was still young.” his eyes were just fixed to mine, as if he's trying to know if I'm telling the truth.I could never lie to him. “And I came from a commoner.”It's already obvious that being a human in this society is a recipe to be the least privileged race among any other race. Life has never been fair for humans. “There's nothing extraordinary about me, Grand Alpha.”Grand Alpha, it's a norm to address him like that whenever he go
