45.“What the heck did you think you were doing?” Apollo questioned after Dominic left.On one side Selene was glad he didn't appear in their presence, and on the other side, she was happy he appeared in his human form, else they would have been exposed.“What were you doing?” Apollo asked again and Selene sighed.“How did you get here?” She questioned.“You haven't answered my question, Selene.” He folded his hand.“You were the one who entered a lady's apartment without warning or a knock.” She scolded.“I've done this countless times. Why are you complaining about it today?” He asked. He was hurt to have found her in Dominic's arms. He wouldn't have been angry if she was indifferent to what he was doing but no, there was something he saw in her eyes as he stood there watching them and that thing broke him.Selene knew he was right. She was only trying to form an excuse and change the topic of discussion but he knew her too well and caught her.“Do you want some cookies? I made some
46.“Prince Dominic, it's nice to see you today.” Alpha Draco smiled as Dominic walked in.“Quit the formalities, Alpha Draco. What are you doing here?” He asked and took a seat.“I just came to discuss about the ally with you. You know, time is no longer on our side. There was a building project I was working on with your father, and its benefits comes from the ally as well. We need to be hasty so things can go according to plan.” He said.“Why wasn't I informed about the building project?” He asked and faced Queen Bathsheba.“You didn't have to know, Dominic.” She answered.“Why? I am going to be the Alpha. Shouldn't I be informed about the happenings in my pack?” He asked and his mother sighed. “Wait… you think I'm incompetent.” “No!” Queen Bathsheba answered immediately.“That's what you're thinking, mother. You think I can't handle big things like this. That's why you only give me small projects to take care of. Mother, you don't trust me. You don't trust what I can do.” He said
47.Selene was done making a hangover soup and walked into the room with the tray in her hand. Dominic was already awake and looking around the room.“Hi,” She said and dropped the tray in front of him.“How did I get here?” He asked and she rolled her eyes.“Are you trying to tell me that you don't remember anything?” Selene asked with an eye roll.Dominic tried to recall all that happened, but was hit by a throbbing headache. Selene tapped the hangover soup, and he looked at her. She signaled for him to take it, and he sighed.He picked it up and started downing it immediately. She chuckled. “I know it's tasty, but please be careful.” She warned, but he rolled his eyes.When he had drunk enough, he realized that he actually felt better and the urge to throw up was gone. “Thanks,” He thanked her with a sigh, and soon everything he did started coming back to him. He wasn't bothered by the rest, but when he recalled telling her not to leave him, his eyes widened. “There's no way I sai
48.“Selene, there isn't time anymore. You have to step up your game. Don't tell me he hasn't fallen in love with you yet.” Zeus complained.Selene sighed. “I think he has, but it isn't strong enough for him to trust me yet.” She answered.“Are you going to wait for his trust? Have you even figured out how to get back your powers yet?” He questioned.“She doesn't know how to do anything. All she does is to take praises for things she didn't do.” Ares sneered.“That's not true!” Selene snapped.“Oh yes, it is. Do you think I have no idea, or I am clueless like the rest? We do all the work here. All you do is receive praise for them.”“And I said that's not true. What is wrong with you, Ares? Why won't you let me breathe in peace? I contribute to the Werewolf world as much as you do. You have no right to say I'm taking credit for your work.” She fired back.“You know you can do nothing without us.” He smirked.“I never said I could do anything without help from the gods. You're only jeal
49. “I…” She trailed off and sighed. “I'm sorry.” She apologized and lowered her head.“I don't need your apology right now, Selene. You lied to me!” He snapped.“I never meant to,” She responded. “I never had the intention to either. I just… didn't want to show my strength,” She said.“If you had shown your strength, it would have made things easier for me, Selene. Why did you lie to me?” He asked.Dominic couldn't believe it. He knew that was why she persuaded him and made him think he was drunk. Just when he had started owning up to the feelings he had for her.“I'm sorry. Like I said before, guys like frail and weak women. I did that to fit in.” She explained.“Why?” He snapped.“Because I like you,” She confessed, and his eyes widened. “Because I like you and I didn't want to lose you. I thought that if I showed my strength, you would hate me, and that's why I hid it.” She replied.“How do I know you're not lying to me now? How do I know you're not pretending, Selene? Just when I
50.“What is wrong?” Naya asked when she saw Selene walking into the class angrily.She thought things didn't go well with the principal. Bryce noticed her mood as well.“Where's Dominic?” Bryce asked, but she said nothing.Naya exchanged looks with Bryce and stood from her seat, then sat beside Selene. “Hey, babe, what's going on?” She asked.“I don't want to talk about it.” Selene answered.“You don't? Why? Did you get expelled?” Naya asked.Selene shook her head. “No, I didn't but something else happened, and I don't want to talk about it.” She answered.Naya was still trying to persuade her when she overheard the students gisting among themselves.“I heard she returned yesterday.” One said.“Typical Matilda. Always likes making a grand entrance. She should have come in the morning, but she decided to come now.” The other one scoffed.“That's not even why I'm annoyed. Can you imagine, she hugged Dominic and even pecked his cheek?” “What did Dominic do?”“He didn't push her away lik
51.“Mother, why didn't you tell me Matilda was back?” Dominic asked the minute he got home. After school, he had looked for Selene everywhere, but couldn't find her. And just when he was about to walk out of the school gate and head to her place to explain things to her, Matilda pulled him away, so they could go get ice cream.While they were taking the ice cream, his thoughts were elsewhere and when Matilda realized he wasn't paying attention to her, she got angry and asked him to take her home. She knew quite well that it was because of Selene, but heck was she going to leave her man for someone else.Queen Bathsheba smiled. “She said she'd tell you herself. Oh, you've met her?” She asked.“Yes.” He answered.“How did you feel?” She asked excitedly.“I felt shocked because I wasn't expecting her to come this soon.” He sighed.“But she's here now and that's all that matters. Besides, her father said she'd be coming this week, so what's the shock about?” She chuckled and Dominic sigh
52.“Selene, we're forbidden from loving mortals.” Artemis scolded her.“Do you think it's my fault? I don't know how it happened. I just found myself falling for him.” Selene facepalmed.“I'm not against your feelings, Selene. I'm just thinking about what Zeus is going to say if he finds out you've fallen in love with him. I know love can not be forced, which means you fell for him naturally, but it's bad. Love can make you do things you wouldn't do when you're in the right state of mind.” Aphrodite cautioned.Selene sighed. “I know, and I'm trying my best to kill it.” She said,“It can't be killed or avoided, Selene. It's love.” Aphrodite placed her hand on Selene's shoulder.Artemis groaned. “You're not helping matters, Aphrodite.”“I'm telling her the plain truth, baby girl. Look at her! Look what love has turned the almighty moon goddess to?” She chuckled and Selene glared at her.“Look, Selene, you'd have to kill the love and accomplish your mission. I don't know how you're goin
