60.“You know something… spill it!” Ares snapped at Artemis when they were alone in the council's meeting room.Artemis brows furrowed in confusion. What the heck was this devil talking about? “Excuse me?” She asked.“Why are you acting all innocent now, Artemis? I'm saying you know something about Selene, so spill it.” He said, this time like an order.Artemis snickered. “The audacity of this man!” She snapped.“I'm a god.” He corrected.“You're like a man to me because you definitely do not act like a god. I don't know why a god would he so nosy when he can go and find things out by himself. You want to turn everybody to your puppets, but let me assure you that you will not get me. Leave Selene alone to accomplish her mission and stop plotting against her.”“Plotting against her?” He asked.“Yes. Let her be. Do you think I have no idea what you've been doing? How you deceived my brother into agreeing to this suicide plan of yours? If you aren't careful, I'll report you to Zeus and y
61.Selene stood in the bathroom as she poured water on her face. She recalled how Dominic was so excited to participate in the competition with her. She wasn't even sure whether she was going to make it to the competition. “What am I going to do?” She questioned herself.She had never been this confused in her life. She thought she always had the answers to everything; she thought nothing was too hard for her to do, but why couldn't she find answers to what was happening presently? And why was leaving Dominic so hard for her to do now?With a sigh, she stepped out of the bathroom and plopped down on the bed looking up. If she takes her powers back, she'd be forced to return to the magic realm, and she wouldn't be close to Dominic again. She would only watch him live his daily life, do whatever he liked, date as many girls as he wanted while she would only wallow in hurt.The fate of the people was in her hands but what if she stayed and just helped Dominic to control the powers he h
62.Selene appeared in the council and met Apollo there.“Where's Artemis?” She asked.Apollo turned to look at her. He instantly knew that something was wrong with Selene. Why was she looking for Artemis with that kind of expression on her face?“Are you okay?” He asked and she looked at him.“Just tell me where Artemis is.” She inquired.Apollo sighed. He knew she was still mad at him. “She's at the library,” He answered, and before he could say something else, Selene disappeared, reappearing in the magical library.Fortunately, she met Artemis there with her face buried in a book. When Artemis saw that it was Selene, she flashed her a smile.“Selene, over here!” She called.Selene walked to where she sat and sat down, facing her.“What's the problem? I'm so lucky you came to see me today and not the other way around.” Artemis smiled.Selene frowned. “Lucky indeed. I wonder how you still have a smile on your face after what you've done.” Selene blurted out, causing Artemis to look up
63.Matilda had invited Dominic to the basketball court where she claimed she wanted to spend some time with him. She felt he was neglecting her because Selene must have used something on him and that's why he doesn't make time for her like before anymore.While they talked, all Dominic wanted was for the conversation to end so he could go to the classroom. He hadn't seen Selene that day and he wanted to see her face badly.Matilda went on and on, telling him about her training overseas, how many Alphas wanted to claim her but she refused because she had her eyes on only him and how many awards she won for being the best fighter amongst the students there.She suddenly remembered Selene and turned to face Dominic. “Let's talk about Selene now, Dominic,” She said and Dominic turned to face her, wondering what she wanted to talk about. “What do you see in her?” She asked and he furrowed his brows, confused by her question.“What do you mean?” He asked.“What did you see in Selene? What h
64.“Selene, please listen to me. What you saw out there isn't what you think.” He tried to defend himself.Selene scoffed. “If it isn't what I thought, then what is it exactly? A movie? Perhaps a drama or some kind of poetry?” She questioned and he sighed.“It was a mistake.” He defended“I saw you kissing and unbuttoning her shirt, Dominic. I saw you with my two eyes. I'm not blind!” She snapped at him.“Can I just come in so we can talk?” He asked.“I have nothing to talk about with you, so leave please. It's already late at night and I'm feeling sleepy.” She answered.Immediately she said that, Dominic's eyes went to her body. She looked hot in the nightgown she was putting on and he found her irresistible. When he realized the crazy thoughts that were going on in his head, he shook his head to dismiss them.“Selene, I just wish you'd believe me. I won't do something like that on purpose.” He said.“I don't want to hear anything from you. Please, leave. Just get the hell out of my
65.When Selene got to school the next day, she sighed and stood at the door, wondering how she was going to face Dominic after what happened between them the previous night.She sighed as she tried her best to find her way to her seat without looking at him. Naya noticed her and shouted her name, getting the attention of everyone in the class, including Dominic. Selene laughed nervously and walked in, taking a seat beside him.She didn't want to greet him so he wouldn't talk about what happened between the two of them."Good morning, Selene," He greeted her by himself and she shut her eyes tight, her lips forming into a thin line.How was she going to face him and answer him? What if she just pretended as if she was still mad at him and then use that as an opportunity not to talk to him? She smiled at that idea and refused to answer his greetings.Dominic wondered why she was ignoring him. Could it be about what had happened the previous night?“Selene?” He called but she gave him the
66.“Bro, you have to tell me what exactly is wrong with you. Why do you keep spacing out during classes?” Bryce asked as they walked to the cafeteria.Dominic sighed and facepalmed. “I made Selene angry with me and in the process of apologizing for that, I got her angry again.” He replied.“How did you get her angry and when did all these happen that I'm not aware of?” He asked.Dominic rubbed his forehead. “Well, Matilda kissed me and she saw us. When I went to her place to apologize to her, I sort of couldn't resist her and kissed her. We almost made out and she ran to her room.” He answered.Bryce burst into laughter. Dominic glared at him, wondering what was funny about the complaint he just made. “Is she so irresistible that you couldn't wait till she forgave you before taking things to the next level? Is your wolf that impatient?” Bryce teased.Dominic facepalmed. “This is why I don't like telling you some things happening around me, Bryce. You always turn them to something wor
67.Selene returned to the class to meet Dominic still in a bad mood. She had no idea why he kept saying Asher was a bad person. She had used her powers to check if he was that kind of person but she didn't get anything. Though, he's a bully and misbehaves, he has no such motive towards her and she could feel it. She had no idea why he wasn't feeling it.She sat beside him but he didn't speak to her.“Dominic,” She called but he didn't answer her. “Dominic, please, don't give me the silent treatment. It hasn't gotten to that,” She bit her lower lip.Dominic did as much as he could to stop himself from falling prey to her pleas and answering her. It was hard for him to ignore her like that but he wanted to teach her a little lesson.Selene sighed and rubbed her palms together. She was feeling so uncomfortable with him ignoring her and stuff.“Dominic, I'm sorry. Please talk to me.” She pleaded this time, and in as much as she tried to stop it, her voice sounded desperate and she couldn'
