(Athena POV)
I didn't know what to do for a moment, then suddenly he opened up his eyes.
“Women. When they get pregnant, they want to eat something in particular, right?" I nodded at him.
“Pregnant women are crazier than me, EL. They have this absurd mood swings that will go on for nine months. So, if I were you, I'll start practicing.” He looked at me and smiled.
"You look like her… you look exactly like her." I have no idea what EL is talking about. Maybe he's also hungry that's why he starts to imagine random thoughts.
“I know you're hungry too. Come on, let's continue walking." He sighed again.
“Athena… you are just a human. I don't get tired easily… while you… you just had a fever last night."
"Well it's gone already." I felt my forehead. “Walking outside this early in the morning is effective. Mother nature really is the best remedy. H
(Athena POV)I gasped for air as we reached the gate. EL's staff greeted us. I immediately reached for the water. I was already bathing with my own sweat. I am really thirsty."Let's go EL." He was having a conversation with his staff. He shook his head at me again. He thought I am easily to give up, but your wrong my dear. I am a strong person. Ahahaha. Not every woman is a fragile like you thought.EL brought a bottle of water with him. The final gate can be overlooked already, and after that, we are no longer in their territory.It's okay to sweat as long as it will burn the extra calories I don't need. My eating has increased since I came into EL's care. But soon, I will taste my favorite food again.When we got out. I laughed at myself… We are still far from the city. This is insane. We need a vehicle."Give up?" EL asked, seemingly to mock me.I sat on the grass. "Can you call them without u
(Athena's POV)"Why do we need to walk?" I heard El provocation.“Tsk. Stop complaining. You are not a vampire get burned under the sun. And you gotta use those feet of yours sometimes. It's more fun walking.""I see. Where will we go?""We'll be there soon." I eagerly told him because I was really hungry. I get salivated even by just thinking about the food they will serve us.“Hey! Where are we going?" He asked again as I pulled him into an alley. The car would not be able to pass through this alley because of how narrow it is.“Nothing bad will happen to you here. Quiet.” Because I can already see that we are getting stares from the people we just passed through. “And also, bow your head a bit. Don't lift your chin like a king who owns this place."When we arrived at the small restaurant. I immediately smelled the food they were serving. My stomach rumbled which made me smile. Here we are
(Athena POV)"There's been a great tragedy, Athena, and I don't think that you should be worrying too much about it."“What makes you think that? My teammates were there."“They are fine. Especially your friend." He says bitterly. I just nodded. In every word that comes out of a werewolf's mouth… I know it has integrity."Are you no longer jealous of my friend?"“No need. You are mine now. And no one can get you from me."I pouted my lips at him. My ears are sick to hear of how possessive he is to me. But my mood shifted when I smelled the food. Our order seemed to be cooked now!I was not mistaken as the couple arrived. Their kitchen helpers used to serve the food, but they made an exemption as they served it themselves. They even had their smiles on their lips."Eat well.""Of course, Aunt Ising." I guarantee you that. I will make myself full because I know it wil
(Athena POV)I was afraid that his men would follow us."What are you doing?""I don't want your men to follow us.""Eh?" he was clueless with what I have in mind. He looked completely innocent. Hahaha. He looks so cute like a kid being dragged by his playmate."Wait? Are you trying to kidnap me? You do know that I have an important meeting today, right? Are you really doing everything you can to—."He stopped talking when I put a quail egg I took from the soup inside his mouth.“It tastes better when it's eaten without the soup. Start chewing.” He just stared at me and stared to chew. Shortly after, I saw Lucah's shadow again. So, I ran while dragging EL from behind.Until I probably lost him already. I gasped for air, but I was mistaken when Lucah and his men got to us. I didn't expect when EL himself picked me up and start running away from his security.What just happe
(Athena POV)I bent down and took it again. Of course, the cat is still angry at EL's presence. I just caressed it again."That's dirty Athena." I just laughed at EL.“Are you serious? I can't believe the son of the ruthless Grand alpha is saying that. You are a werewolf for God's sake. Mingming is probably hungry now. I wonder where we can buy your food. Do you have any idea Mingming?"I looked around and saw a mini store.“Right there EL. Please buy the cat something to eat. Cats can't enter that place for sure. I promise I will not run away from you. I'll wait here." I said to him knowing what he had inside his mind.“Tss. You really can't escape me Athena. I always think of your safety."“No one will kidnap me here. Then if there is, you have a lot of ransom money. Will you please just hurry up? The cat is hungry." Hurry EL or I'll turn into a tiger.EL basical
(Athena POV)"What's the problem?" El asked me. I know he never thought I will be like this.“Nothing. I just want to eat ice cream.” Haha. I couldn't think of anything else to say because of the drama I feel today. EL has these traits as if he could not even save a child. But today, he showed me that he has a good soul inside him. I think that's normal for him because he really has the ability to save lives in such situations.I heard El gasp. “We have a problem; I don’t have a cash here Athena. No vendor will accept my card, right?” He scratched his head."That's the problem of rich people? Is it because you don't want to hold cash to avoid the germs that some people might have already touched?” I scoffed at him.“No. I just don’t bring cash.""Hmmm…" I wiped my tears. The heck with these tears, it's making me look like a fool."Let me call Lucah,
(Athena POV)As far as I know, I really don't have a way out to avoid getting married to him. He smiled at me. But he followed it with a sigh."Lucah will be mad about this Athena."“Haha. It looks like Lucah is your boss. Is he? Hey! I will be your wife. So, you need to practice following what I want. You have no choice EL. I will be your commander." Then I was annoyed again when he messed up my hair. I angrily grabbed his hand and slapped it away from me."Do you have any idea how hard it is to comb?!""Is that what commoners complain about Athena?""See? That actually amazed you. Poor you. You really have a lot to learn in this world.” I turned my back on him."So, where are we going?"I looked at him again… “This Card will come a long way, EL. Just trust me. Ahahaha.” I laughed madly. Then I saw a nearby bank where we could withdraw.I pulled El so we coul
(Athena POV)I lead him in the department store… he was wondering why I brought him here.“I know a better place. All the beautiful clothes are in—.” I stared at him wickedly.But I came closer to him if the t-shirt I took would fit him. "You're too big."Then his lips suddenly went closer to my ear… "Something bigger is waiting for you Athena." he whispered.“Huh? What's waiting for me?” I returned the T-shirt and took a bigger one. I suddenly stopped when I realized what he meant. My thoughts turned green because of what he said. I faced him and saw his naughty smile. Is he referring to the thing that men brag about?"Ahaha." I laughed at his face. "I'm not interested in that EL.""You will surely love it Athena.""Really?"“I'm sure of that, and once you had it, I'm sure you'll be addicted of it.""Oh really!" I threw a t-shirt on
(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
