(EL POV)
Yana stretches her bow and aims at me. The glimmer of the arrow was familiar to me, it was the set of silver arrows I gifted her.
"You want to kill me brother? Then taste this first!" She releases the arrow at my direction. I was able to evade it but the second time she fired... I felt a cold pang right on my chest, my vision went dark until I slowly felt like falling into a deep well.
There… the moment I closed my eyes… I remember
(EL POV)"You will also erase my memories?" that was the clearest statement I heard him, yet I choose to be deaf."I will." he answered quickly as he picked up his rifle. "Or might as well I'll kill you instead."I took a deep breath. Close my eyes. There is something inside on me, I don’t want to do this. I don’t know why I cherish much Dr. Albert daughter. But for her… I need to do this. "Can you take care of her?"
(EL POV)“Are you serious?”"You're still the one who will have the final decision Master EL." It was clear to him what I meant. My abilities, personality, and physical features are the things that some Women only find interesting, and also being the Grand Alpha's Heir. I don't want to emulate my Father's life with Tasha who only seeks for his wealth and to grant her immortality, but until now... even if wrinkles have already showed in Tasha's faces, the Grand Alpha still refuses to grant her wish, but my father remain loyal to her. That what werewolf love can offer to anyone else. It was fragile and don’t even touch it. It might cause a lifetime regret.
(Athena POV)I got up on my feet when I noticed that the sky was about to get dark. It's thirty minutes before five when I checked my watch, the thick rain clouds made the sky even darker. Oh, my ghad! I did not anticipate this. I should go home then. But as I turn my back, the trial that I walk was not visible enough for me to find. Don’t tell me, I am lost already. I didn’t give up. I need to go home. I know how dangerous this forest. During at nighttime no mercy was given to whoever the prey it was be. I should find my way. Will uncle Wenziel notice that I'm gone and look for me? He told me that mad werewolves roam around the forest during the night. They are the reason behind the mysterious murders around this place. Killing will always be part of their instinct.
(EL POV)I hear their howls from the distance. I leaned back against the seat to make myself relaxed. What important is, that our society was having a balance. This is the hard worked repaid to my father and his member supporting on him. When… In instant I open my eyes. I heard someone scream, the sound of it made my heart and head hurt a bit. But my ear was not used to heard it. I smelled a scent that was too strong for my senses. Something wasn't right. The scent was peaking at the west part of our territory. I smelled blood. My assistants don’t seem to smell it. He was not alarm at all, same with the chauffeur. Am I the only one who could smell this scen
(Athena POV)He's been feeling pain in his head lately, maybe because he is already old, and he has abstained himself from drinking human blood. All of the vampires that live here in the village refuses to drink human blood. They want to live without hurting anyone, in exception with animals. Some of them have kept a livestock to farm fresh blood from time to time.“Uncle?” “I am fine.” Then he laughed me again. Tsk. There is no chance your going to be concern with him. He is arrogant leader of this little village. We were happily having conversation; I've always felt comfortable being around men. Until they have left me alone in the kitchen when they s
(EL POV)When suddenly, I heard a horse neighing. My mind showed me a picture of myself riding a white horse, it was running freely across the vast grassland. The white satallion…This memory in my head... I had a horse. It flowed back to me, it was Uncle Rankin who gave it to me. What's its name? Phantom, yes. I remembered the day when we catch this elusive wild horse. I was the one who got rid of the ropes around him. He deserves to run freely without the threat of being captured. Yes! I have my own favorite stallion. I headed towards our horse's stable. Many beautiful horses lined up inside it. But there was one particular horse I was looking for... Phantom.
(Athena POV)It was a clean shot! A bull's eye to stop him from mauling my supposedly savior, turns out he's the one that needs to be saved. I was glad that I was able to hurt the monster. It backed off for a moment until he stared back at us. You could tell that he is really pissed by now.Shortly after, I suddenly felt someone wrapped an arm around my waist. Something which was hard to explain happened to my body. It's like the heat of his arms tingled my very existence. And because he is a werewolf, his ability is far beyond what humans can do. He jumped high on the trees and leaped from branch to branch away from the monster. His fellow monster.I could see the madden werewolf cha
(Athena POV)He grinned and walked around to observe me. His bathing my whole body with his piercing stare. I wrapped my arms around me. What a pervert!“A human.” The races that are only for their plaything. But I would never let any one of them treat me like their possession. I never dreamed of becoming one of them! I was born a human and I should die a human. A simple principle with a little bit of arrogance. Tsk.“Hey! Stop being a pervert!” he grins at me. He at me in daunting manner.“Luk. That's what you call the horse who deserves freedom.” My eyes widened when he reminded me about Luk. I should look for him. Not hanging with this arrogant man. I have no time to flirt anyway. Tsk. He is not a human. I am looking for male human not these egotistical creature reigning in this world. Yet, I was abou
(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
