(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
(EL POV)“If Athena could help me find answers to this mystery, you need to keep an eye on her.”“I understand Master EL.”“What does the schedule say today Lucah?”Then I dialed my phone to call a woman vampire who I know I could trust. She's the only vampire I know who won't deceive me. Her loyalty has been proven to me for numerous times already. She's about my age, biologically, but I chose not to make her part of my complicated life while my father seeks myself a mate. We are just friends, and her name is Diana.“The schedule says preparation for the upcoming Olympic tournament Master El.” I nodded at my secretary then Diana picked up my call.“EL, sorry but you caught me at a bad time. I'm busy right now. Let's talk some other time ok?” a r
(Lupoz POV)There, a lot of coffins were laid out in front of me. Inside it were high ranking vampires who were induced in a deep slumber. I immediately saw their guardians; they were bats but they immediately changed their forms. I gave them an arrogant stare. I paced myself like a king through an alleyway. The werewolf’s judgement day is nigh. We will rise from the ashes and reclaim our throne and humans will grovel beneath our feet just like in the past.We will gain back our former glory!I held onto one of the coffins. When I opened it, my real body revealed. My fists immediately clenched, and I snarled to show my fangs. That wretched Tyros! How dare he sabotaged my body like this! I will get myself back to my body and use it for my revenge! I'm tired of using this old man body as my vessel. But I use this to my advantage. They see me as a weak incapable individual for now, but the
(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
