(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
(Athena POV)We paid for what we purchased. EL stared at the boxes we bought at the grocery store."Do you want me to carry that?" I elbowed him because he just staring those. Is he not that really gentleman to initiate?Geez. His body is massive for him to think that he can't lift the boxes. But he really has no choice but to lift it.While I was behind him. I laughed at what I was doing to EL. I'm giving order to a CEO, plus the son of the Grand Alpha like he's just my slave. Ahahaha.He turned to me. "Why are you laughing?""Nothing." I said to him. Then called out for a taxi again…"Are we going home now?" EL wanted to get home. Tsk.“No. We still need to go somewhere. Stop thinking about that Lucah just for today."Gosh. As if they will lose their business in just a day."Take us to the nearest orphanage please." I told the driver.“Oh, I see. That's wh
(Athena POV)The children greeted me… The race of the kids was mixed in this orphanage. Other kids have been abandoned by their parents and some… where abused by their own family. Whether it's a human, or even a vampire and a werewolf, having misfortune when it comes to their families is not that rare.I turned to El as he lowered the box. He greeted the children whom he carried the ones who hugged him. It's the orphaned werewolves. They must've felt that they were in the presence of their future Grand Alpha.They say that werewolves are very family-oriented people. They have a strong connection especially in their packs. I smiled to see EL being nice with the kids.I laughed when the kids started to surround EL."You are very lucky to have him." The nun commented to me. I always hear that comment lately. But I think so too, I guess any woman would be lucky to have him. Somehow, I got to see his kind side."Mot
(Athena POV)We started to prepare the food for the children. They ate a lot and I know the convent is having a hard time organizing them. EL seemed to be enjoying talking to the children."Mother, you must eat also." Because they are busy. "I think they are okay now.""Oh, my child, I think it's the two of you who haven't eaten yet.""You don't need to worry about us, Mother."So they went to eat first. I fed the youngest one among the children. I glanced at El. There was a smile on his face while interacting with the kids.It seems like they really like them. He looked at me and I looked away from him. But when I looked back at him, he caught me and gave me a very sweet smile.After the children ate, Mother invited me and EL to eat too, it's their turn to take care of the children.They prepared our lunch in a quiet garden. Ahem. I wasn't sure why I can't speak but I felt ashamed of El's presenc
(Athena POV)When we got to our village, we stopped at the side of the road."Where is your house?" He stared at a large and beautiful house, maybe he thought that was it. But nahhh.So, I pulled his hand and led him through an alley again. He should not expect too much of our house or he will just disappoint himself.“I thought you had someone who looked into my background. Maybe that's the reason why you never initiated to visit our place."“Honestly Athena, this is my first time to be in a relationship. I never had a girlfriend ever since.”"Why would I believe you? Stop lying, it's so obvious.""I'm telling you the truth.""But you already had a lot of women you laid in your bed." blurted out of my mouth while we're walking in the alley.Good for us, there weren't any people around. The people who lives around this area are too busy working to survive with their daily
(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
