71.“Where the heck have you been, dude?” Bryce asked as Dominic stepped into the palace.“Long story.” He sighed and was about to rush to him.“Dominic,” He turned and saw his mother. When she saw that he looked fine, she heaved a deep sigh of relief. “Where did you go?” She asked, holding him. She was scared and worried about him. She was even about to rally up the guards to look for him before Bryce stopped them.“I was taking care of something.” He answered.“Doesn't that thing have a name?” She asked him, her eyes narrowing at him.“It does, but I can't tell you that. All that matters is that I'm back safe and sound.” He gave her cheek a peck and hurried up the stairs to his room. Bryce followed him immediately.Queen Bathsheba sighed. His scent was mixed with that of a lady, and she wondered who he was with. She hoped he didn't go down with a lady, but she knew he wasn't someone like that and if he should lose control and something of the sort happened, she knew it was going to

73.Selene followed Asher to the school garden and stood with her hands folded as she waited for what he had to say.Asher was so embarrassed that he couldn't even look into her eyes. Even the look she had on her face showed that she would kill him if provided the opportunity.Selene on the other hand would have loved to have him dead because what he did was a disrespect to her body, but being the moon goddess, she had a soft spot for her subject and she found it hard giving them a punishment like death.“Selene,” He called but she didn't answer him. He didn't even dare to ask why she didn't answer him, he knew too well. “I'm sorry.”Selene looked up at him, her face scrunched up in disgust. Even though she appeared to him and asked him to apologize, she was still disgusted with what he tried to do to her.“What are you sorry for?” She asked but Asher was finding it difficult to say. “Why are you quiet? I thought you are a pro at saying thimgs like that?” She folded her arms.Asher cl

75.Asher turned and was surprised to see Selene. She rushed to him and stood in front of him. “You can't leave. It hasn't gotten to this.” She expressed and he sighed.First, he couldn't believe Selene ran after him to tell him not to leave, but then he had no choice but to get the fucking hell away from here. There was no need to stay in the school when all he would get was hatred from the students. He was someone who didn't feel shame or give two fucks about anyone, but this time around, he felt defeated.“I can't stay in the school anymore, Selene. There's no need to be here. I have nothing to offer but pain, so I'm leaving.”“That's not true. I know you made a mistake but you're not someone to run away just like that. You have to stay here and face it head on. Running away from your problems would only make you a coward.” She explained.“In this case, I'm a coward, Selene. I can't bear spending another minute here. I just want to leave and stay in my pack, where I wouldn't be remi

77.When Selene heard the question, her heart thumped in her chest, and she had no reason why. She looked up at Zeus, and at every other person present in the meeting room, and smiled to herself. What was she thinking? The realm was less stressful anyway. She had gotten way ahead of herself and thought she could live like the wolves, but then she realized that it was all just in her head. She was way different from them. They didn't see, hear, think or live like she did, and she forgot about that for a moment and got carried away. But not anymore, she was going to finish her mission and return.She missed helping wolves get their mates, she missed the feeling of being called on for help, and most importantly, she missed the family she was able to make here.Zeus urged her to give him an answer, and she heaved a deep breath.“I'm going to take back my powers on the next full moon,” She said, and the gods exchanged looks. “You might be wondering why I shifted it until then. Allow me to e

79.Dominic was still in shock. He couldn't comprehend what his uncle was saying. What did he mean by Selene knew about the war of twenty years ago? As far as he knew, she wasn't born then. He wasn't born either, so how come?“Uncle, how is that possible? How does she know? What do you mean?” He asked the questions as they came into his head at the time.Mr. Ethan sighed and crossed his legs. “I suspected it when I was having a discussion with her some time ago. That was when she resumed and attended the first class. I was talking with her and I mentioned your father. Immediately I did that, she muttered something about the war of twenty years ago.” He revealed and Dominic creased his brows.“She must have read it in books then. There were a lot of books that were Written by witnesses of the war. You even wrote some yourself, so what's the fuss about?” He asked.“It seems you are misunderstanding me, Dominic. I don't think she read it in books, because she talked like she was there, li
