(Athena POV)
“EL, answer me correctly and straight forward. You have no feelings for me, correct?” It was a serious question. He smirked at me.
“Nothing." A word that made me sigh deeply.
“Oh, it's very clear isn't it? What are we stupid? Playing a make-believe relationship? We will be a couple that feels nothing to each other? It was a pathetic and boring game EL. You should stop then!”
"Couple." then he smiled at me. Dammit! What is so funny with that word?! If he really is the one destined to me, I know that my life in this world would be a nightmare. I hope that won't happen.
(Athena POV)Oh-ohhh!“What is the meaning of this Athena?!” A question that he even gives me a tight grip. Here he is again. When will I finally wake up from this nightmare?"Let go of me." I pulled my hand from him. He did not even loosen his grip, instead it tightened. “EL, let me visit my colleagues here.” I confess. That what he wants to hear. “I didn't even bring a medal to our team. I was eliminated because of your antics!” Wow. Did I really blame him for what I lost? Why I get fainted? Is this the only way I could escape from him? Nagging him?! “EL.&rdq
(EL POV)Within a few hours with Athena, my men keep on bothering me with what Athena was doing. Tss. She was playing hide and seek with them. As if the woman could escape from me. I put down gentle the paper I am reading in my table and raised my sight to the man who deliver the news to me. “My men were really useless for my chosen mate can easily escaped to them.” He never lifted his gazed to look directly to me. He couldn’t respond without a proper answer to my words. Tss. I close my eyes and smell the persimmon flower hiding to us. I grin when I saw her in my mind. Tss. You can’t escape easily to me Athena. You can’t. Just give up!
(EL POV)I stared into his eyes. Darrell eyes also competed to stare back at me. He means something he will not let me claim Athena that easily. "And I like her too." he indeed continued. I gave then an insulting smiled to him.“What do you mean? Can't you hear yourself? Do you want to compete with me?” Oh! I should not ask him. It was clearly and palpable. “It is obvious that victory is already mine, Master EL. Tss. I never thought I would mention your name with respect. Your highness.” He was casually sitting on a bench as if he didn't care that I was in his presence.
(EL POV)"Master EL, the Grand Alpha will rest here for sure." Lucah reminded me. Well it was a fact. For sure my surprised visit to the Athlete dorm was already brought to my father ears. What can the Grand Alpha possibly do with my unexplained annoyance? Tsk. Vampires. I know not all of them are evil, but most of them actually cause my blood to boil. The important thing is, they are weak in my eyes. I will defeat that Darrell tomorrow. Definitely.“Did your men gathered already some information regarding about the Curies couple?” I asked him deviated away from what he said. As we walked towards to the room that
(Athena POV)I rolled over on the bed. With its softness, I felt like I'm being carried by the clouds."Miss Athena." someone was trying to wake me up. "Miss Athena." “Just call me Athena.” I responded. I rolled over to my right, trying to get away from her. And to my luck, I felt another pillow then hugged it tightly."Miss Athena." Just Athena I said! Its voice was already starting to annoy me. Wait. Someone is trying to wake me up? Since when I asked someone to wake me up? And if it's Aunt Matild
(Athena POV)When we came to the dining room, which was the place reserve only for the VIP, and who I am referring. This idiot who carried me along away here. El put me down and I stared at him angrily. He just scowled at me and pulled me a chair. "Have a seat my lady.""I'm not your woman!" I repeatedly denied him. "You are, my darling." he grabbed my hand again and forced me to sit down. His annoyed face was pretty obvious. Yep. He was already annoyed and will kicked me if I continued denying him. Ahahaha. He's just like a kid.Lucah pulled out a chair for him. Like a prince. EL sit in g
(Athena POV)“Tss. You've been acting like that since yesterday with your warnings EL. Why? Did something happen? Nothing, right?" I tried to push him away from me, but my attempts were just hurting me. This devil!."Really Athena?" then he picked me up again. “Let me go El!” I protested when he carried me like a sock of rice. He was walking not in the direction in which the garden was, but instead back to our room! "Hey! Take me down EL!” In the course of my struggle, he suddenly buckled up. I ju
(Athena POV)But EL grins again. What is it with him and the grinned about? We did seal the deal! Why can't arrogant people lose that habit?! Stop treat me a mind reader El! Com’on! Say something! With a hold in my waist… "I did warn you to stop mentioning his name.""Is that what you are going to ask me?" EL shook his head. Then he brought his finger closer to my face to part away the hair that was covering my face then stuck it in back of my ear.“It is not Athena. You are scared for him. Don’t worry we have a different deal.
(EL's POV) "Let her." I told Lucah. We left immediately while I massage the side of my head. “Lucah, make sure that Athena is somehow kept away from the places that are in chaos. I will immediately do the work that some Alphas cannot do." “Master El, what if you fall victim to the drug. You need to avoid going out as much as possible. That is also the order of the Grand Alpha." “Do you really think that I will let that happen Lucah? Tss.” Then I disappeared in front of them. I found myself on a high rooftop to have a good vantage point on what was happening around. I could hear the sirens all over. Is this the start of a Vampire revolution? Tss. They really had the audacity to reveal their true colors. Athena, please take care. I guess I just need to trust you amidst this turmoil around us. As I observe the area below me, I witnessed how Athena shot an arrow to a vampire who was about to bite its victim
(Athena's POV)Me? Going with Darrell? That's basically an invitation for El to kill me. I'll fight anyone, not just that man. That man is bad news when he gets angry. So, I'm really sorry Darrell.EL's men arrived, so we went out of the house. I just found out that the tear gas that was thrown at our house was positive with drugs which made El's assistants go mad."Miss Athena, what are you planning to do?" Lucah confronted me. Why is EL not with him?“As EL promised, your boss. He will give me freedom, right?”“Miss Athena, every place now is in chaos. Master EL does not want to disturb the two days he gave you but given the circumstances, we need to make sure that you're safe. You saw what happened earlier, didn't you?”“Who's responsible for this Lucah? It's you, right? If the Grand Alpha hasn't discriminated the vampires, none of this would have happened."“I don’t have a
(Athena POV)EL's staff immediately entered the house. Making sure the the surroundings were secured. Aunt Matilda and I are close to each other. We heard on television that many vampires have already joined the revolt and even turning some humans into vampires. That is the last thing they should do.Is this a start of a new chaos? Will this be another war?...The window suddenly shattered, something was thrown inside the house that immediately let out thick smoke. I had difficulty breathing… then I saw El's staff coughing out blood...It showed me how they changed their forms. I could not speak when they start changing. Their clothes torn apart, Aunt Matilda and I are backing away…. I think the smoke is what triggers the werewolves to lose control of themselves, it's the medicine that El mentioned that made by the vampires. They can attack anyone using this weapon!In the seconds that followed… we were surroun
(EL's POV)Me and Lucah haven't even gotten to the conference room yet, when he immediately told me the updates.Riot. A few cases of riot occur in just an hour. My staff are already busy taking the necessary actions. We have not even been able to find out the exact reasons about the incident that happened with Athena earlier.I rolled up my sleeves, in front of me are the newly assigned alphas set by their respective packs. Vampires are already raging against us. Lucah and I went over the responsibilities of the Alphas in each territory. They have no complaints about their given roles, being an alpha is an honor that all werewolves takes pride of. The day isn't over yet, and we already received a lot of news that many Alphas are losing control of themselves.I got up from my seat. I stared at Lucah who already knew what he needs to say."Master EL, your life may be put in danger."“No. I won’t let that happen. I
(Athena POV)Uncle approached me with a big smile on his face. Then he tapped me hard on the shoulder, it made me skip a breath for a second.“Uncle… just take it easy."“You will feel worse when you have regrets in your decisions later in your life. It'll be heavy for to carry, and that hurts. So no matter what happens, stand up for the decision you will make Athena... until the end.”“What are you talking about Uncle? Have you made up your mind? You will really give me to El huh?"Of course. Ahaha. Your parents are happy about this.” I was stunned at what he just said."Really? My parents will be happy for me being married to El?” I close my eyes as he laughs again as if the world's end is about to come. “Uncle! I am serious here!""El, the son of the Grand Alpha, he is every woman's dream to be in their lives. Women who can be far more beautiful than you."&ld
(Athena's POV)I bit unto my lips while my heart feels like pounding out my chest. It hurts more if you ignore it, it grabs my attention every moment that I'm alone… and it never stops. I sighed deeply as I slowly close my eyes. At the same time, I pull my hair, unsure where my life is going to take me now.I sat on my bed and asked myself why I suddenly lost my fear in this world. This world is chaotic. But ever since I met EL, he's always been willing to lay down his life for me, my question is… is that what love is? Full of sacrifices? EL, though you are not an ordinary creature, you still need to value the life you have.My thoughts suddenly grazed over Darrell. What is happening to him? Is that the principle of all vampires? It can't be. Since the time I'm with my Uncle Wenziel, he has never been like that.I got off my bed and left the room. I was just stunned while I was pacing myself down the stairs, Au
(Athena POV)I tried to open my eyes despite being drowned by the brutal winds. I clung around El as tight as I can, don't he dare say that the cause of my death is falling because of his stupidity."Just calm down Athena." he slightly shouts at me for me to hear. "I will not let you go; I promise!"I'm not sure what he meant by his promise… it's either he will not let me go in this relationship or from this nonsense he is doing right now. Clinging like a monkey with a koala. I'll be the koala, not the monkey. Don't compare me with him.Ahem. He is not a monkey but a wolf. Wow. So werewolves are also good at hanging on to something! They must be the missing link Charles Darwin is looking for.From the look in his eyes… I know he won't really let me go. I just have to trust my heart in him. If not, I will really destroy this man's next generation. Don't do something stupid now El. Tsk, or else I will cut something from
(Athena POV)Wait. I promised myself that I will not fall for him. I swore that to myself. I can't let this happen. No! I will never have feelings for him. Shoooo EL! Shooo!That's why I tried to let go off his clutches… but he hugged me tighter. I just waited for him to release me because I know he won't let go of me anyway."Let's go home Athena." his voice sounded very soft and tender. He kissed me on my head, so I looked up at him. His lips touched my forehead as I tilt my gaze."Idiot." I pushed him away. “You promised me that you would give me two days. A day hasn't passed yet.""You're making me worry too much Athena."“And why would you worry about me? You don't feel anything for me. You're a fool if you think like that." But El's face was serious. He closes his eyes and sighs deeply."Do you have any feelings for me Athena?" He asked me as he opened his eyes. This is the most serious questi
(Athena POV)I looked at the terrace door because I heard something broke all of a sudden. A woman screamed and she look stunned and I know it's because she just saw EL's naked body. I was about to say something, but she suddenly fell unconscious.Yes. El's body is a lot to handle, especially if you are not used to see a man with a ripped physique. His body looks like a statue carved out of a marble just like the idols engraved on Olympus.I just walked inside from the terrace… and I knew that fool would come back. I grabbed something that would cover his body. I also pulled a blanket to cover the woman. I'm sorry miss, that man is really crazy.But as I turned my gaze back to the terrace, a smiling EL greeted me. Did he immediately pacify the trouble below? I approached the railings and took a peek below. The sirens of the oncoming police could be heard from where we are."EL…" I mentioned his name…. but I did
