41.“Would you like us to train?” Dominic asked during recess, shocking Selene, who wasn't expecting that at all.“Sure.” She smiled and they stood up. As they walked to the dojo, Selene couldn't help but stare at him. He didn't have that usual frown and snobbish look on his face, he had a grin plastered on his face instead. That brought a smile to her face.She saw Asher coming from a distance and facepalmed internally, wishing he would just pass her by without looking for her trouble but it seemed her prayers wouldn't be answered.He stopped in front of her, grinned at Dominic and then averted his gaze back to her. “Are you two like a thing now?” He questioned, mockery dripping from his voice.“Let's just leave,” She muttered to Dominic and was about to go but Asher held her hand. “Let go of me!” She yanked her hands away from him but he held it again.Goodness knew she was fighting the urge to punch him in the face. Dominic said nothing and just stood watching them for the meantime

43.The next morning, Naya awoke with a throbbing headache. She clutched tight to her head and winced in pain. When she looked to the left, she saw a tray with a plate of soup in it.She didn't give a damn about where she was at the moment and took the soup. While she was downing it, Selene walked in.“You're awake.” She smiled and sat beside Naya on the bed.“Wow, this is your place?” Naya asked.“My room actually,” Selene chuckled.“It's beautiful,” She complimented, causing Selene to smile. “I know I must have done a lot of crazy things yesterday. I'm intolerant to alcohol but I just can't help myself when I'm excited. I'm just happy Lady Cha Cha didn't see me yesterday. I would be in a lot of trouble if she finds out.” Naya facepalmed.“Who's Lady Cha Cha?” Selene chuckled.“My court lady and the most annoying woman I've ever laid my eyes on. Her name is Charlotte, though. I and the little princesses call her Cha Cha when we want to make fun of her.” Naya giggled.Selene chuckled.

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

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

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
