(Athena POV)
I finally stared at Aunt Matilda. I have no interest in the appearance, wealth and popularity of that bastard! A good personality is still the trait I'm looking for when it comes to guys.
"What are you staring at?" Aunt Matilda glared at me then I started crying in front of her. I thought I still had an escape from EL. Apparently... There is no more. I want to return to my past and avoid the day I met that pervert maniac and arrogant prince! But how!!!!
All I can do is make his life hell and make sure he regrets that he chose me. Huhuhu. BE PREPARED ON THAT EL!
Mia handed me a tissue and wiped away the tears that came out of my eyes.
(Athena POV)“Our family performs the tradition of marital in a sacred river. So, we hope you will be able to come in our territory. I rest assure your family security.” EL say so. I am dying hearing this thing. my plate was already full that I couldn’t manage to determine what should I picked. Tsk.Not even a beach wedding. Geez. Just a river? Really? But anyway, no marriage will happen. Nothing. I will rather drink poison before that. Hahaha. Yeah! I will do that, rather than accepting this hilarious thing happening right now in my environment. Yet… haist. I can't do that. It is also a sin as a human being to hurt oneself. What will I do then? I slightly scratched my neck. So, I should need to accept everything
(EL POV)I went back to where my father was. He's about to leave shortly after, and I will be left here for the closing ceremony. I found him still sitting and he was waiting for me to return. I sat quietly in front of him as his staff had already arranged a chessboard. The Grand Alpha was challenging me to a game again. I just smiled at him. In this game, I know I have already matched his skill. I don't get nervous anymore every time we play. I have this confidence to defeat him. He moves one of the pawns. I too move the king's pawn, two steps ahead.“Dr. Walrus confirmed to me something that made me decide to remove all the vampire servants regardless of their position
(EL POV)“Do you think I'm too stupid to be a Grand Alpha, EL?” I never said that. But he laughed and nodded. “My son, this is my message to you… making a decision is the hardest part in life. Even if it's unintentional, but necessary for the majority. Inevitably, you will hurt someone in the process. But remember this… love must not hurt regardless of race. Love is a grateful thing you can give to someone else. Either it is freedom or to let go of someone, in order for the essence of your love to not be labeled as being selfish.” He smiled. It was a defeated smile after what he has said. "Lupoz, will leave the mansion within a week."He gives up to what I want. Yet why he is giving a week to stay?
(Athena POV)Suddenly Mia dragging me out which is I don’t have any idea where she will bring me. “Hey Mia. Where are you taking me? It's a miracle that you let me out without EL's permission.” I said in afraid that she might put herself in danger because of my name. EL, already use Mia to blackmail me. Oh, please don’t abuse my kindness. Mia doesn’t even respond to me. Where not that close what I am really expect from her? And it looks like we're going to familiar way I am eager to go…. Eh? Way to Darrel's dorm. “Are you turning your back Mia to your boss? Did you r
(Athena POV)The players who were able to make it to the Championship has been introduced. I am waiting for Darrel's name to be called out. It makes my heart beat fast in certain that I am confuse. Excited or worried to whatever EL’s evil plan he planted. Yet no one could stop me if I will definitely shout Darrell’s name for a cheer! Don’t care if someone will jealous about him. He couldn’t kill him in front of these people. Ahaha. Shortly after, his name was finally mentioned. I got up but I wasn't satisfied, so I decided to stand up on my seat then…
(Athena POV)I saw EL scowling. Because the last contestant from his race had a close score with Darrel. He was that glaring at me, as if he will win this game. Don’t worry EL, Darrel knows what to do to wipe out your race. Ahahaha. Sorry if I'm being mean. What do you expect? Our teams are competing against each other, maybe this is the only time where I can say that I beat you. I'm just a human, and you are the prince of those arrogant werewolves. Stop being boastful. Be thankful that you gain the trust of human and other vampires after they lost their own leader. As the wolf release the information against them. Vampires couldn’t do anything about it. I hope there is no dirty tricks on it, EL. Like what your doing to me. Haist. My head is stressing out. Just relax myself, you're worrying about a
(Athena POV)Mia immediately approached me to help, but I stood by my own. In irritation to the arrogant prince, I pointed at him with my finger. I want him to chop into tiny pieces and make him a dinner for the wild animals. This guy knows how to get into my nerves. It's just annoying because he did that without even thinking that I might get my head to bump or if not, my buttocks hitting the floor hard. Does he really care for me?!Sometimes I'm thinking out of my ass… and it's all because of this guy. I am being a mean woman. Athena, what is not clear about what El said? He already owns you so it's only natural that he will feel envious to whoever man you are cheering. No, not envious, it was jealousy! He was jealous to Darrell
(Wenziel POV)Someone stabbed me on my back. And before he could push it to me to my death. I managed to counter him with a kick. He disappeared quickly and I did not even see his face. Another surprised attack. Judging by his speed, I know that he is not an ordinary creature. I managed to pull out the weapon he wielded; it was a knife, which instantly weakened me. I screamed out in pain. Then I tossed the knife on the ground. There was a small piece of paper attached to it. I approached it… there was written on it that says;You will die sooner, traitor
(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
