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
53.Selene appeared in Dominic's room and saw him sprawled on the bed, sleeping soundly. She chuckled when she saw his sleeping posture.“He must have had a hectic day,” She muttered and smiled. “He's cute. I feel like taking a picture,” She muttered again and moved closer, staring at him.Lying beside him was Bryce. Selene thought of how to make Dominic wake up without waking Bryce as well.She was about to touch him when something caught her attention. Bending to take a closer look, she saw something glowing on his forehead. Using her powers to move his hair to the back, she gasped.“The moon symbol… How did it get here?” She asked no one in particular and continued to stare at it. She placed her hand on her forehead and hers glowed as well.As the moon symbol glowed on her forehead, she felt a rush of energy in her veins. Her powers were calling out to her. She tried to draw them in from him but it didn't work.Dominic sensed a presence in the room and his eyes fluttered open. His
54.“Another day,” Selene muttered to herself as she stepped into the buzzling hallways. Everywhere seemed lively and busy that particular day and she wondered why.Was it because she came late today or something else was going on? She saw students hanging out in groups of twos and threes having a nice time.She ignored them and walked to her locker. Placing her books in them and picking the ones she was having that morning, she came across a note in her locker.She skimmed through the note and boldly written on it was; 'I'm coming for you, Selene.'She blinked and wondered who the heck left such a note in her locker. Who was coming for her and what did she do? Someone collected the note from her and she turned to see Dominic.“What's this?” He asked but she collected it back from him.“It's nothing,” She closed her locker and turned to leave but Dominic dragged her back.“Are you mad at me?” He asked.“No, we're cool.” She answered and wanted to yank her hands away from him but he st
55.“Calm down, Matilda.” Yvonne cooed.“Don't tell me to calm down!” Matilda snapped at her. “She's trying to take him away from me, can't you see it?” She yelled.She couldn't believe that after spending some months overseas and wishing to come back and spend time with Dominic, he chose a nobody over her.“You know Dominic too well, Matilda. You're the one he likes. He's someone who keeps to his word and that's why he took Selene instead.” Daphne defended.“Today is special. This is the only day we could have actually spent some quality time together without being interrupted by parents. Why would he choose today of all days to spend time with that bitch?” She questioned with balled fists.Yvonne and Daphne sighed. They knew there was nothing they could do to stop Matilda from yelling, so they just let her vent out her anger.“I'll make sure she pays. Even if Dominic doesn't like her, I am sure she likes him and I won't sit down and watch her take Dominic away from me. I'm not going
