(EL POV)
I arrived at the assembly hall, applause and camera flashes greeted me. Lucah guided me to my seat. My eyes surveyed the whole place trying to look at all of their faces. I'm looking for a specific face, Athena. That woman.
I almost fell from my seat if it weren't for Lucah who fixed my chair. It would've been a shameful scene again for me. Lucah just shook his head to my direction. It was apparent that I'm absent minded after what happened a while ago. And whenever I'm like this, it only means more work will be added to him.
Until my eyes landed on a girl who didn't even bother to clap her hands. Her eyes were also fixed to mine with obvious irritation. I just threw a smile at her. She's really a strange one. While everyone where clapping their hands, she had this mean look on her face.
What's that look supposed to mean Miss Athen
(EL POV)“EL!” Diana happily greeted me. I responded her with a smile. “Look at this!” she showed me her camera and the pictures she took during the ceremony. She laughed knowing a lot of vampires where in attendance. Their pictures can't be captured by a camera.“What do you think. How can we make a camera that will finally take photos of creatures like me?” She meant about being a vampire. This is who she is. Busy to the stuff she wants to invent. She turned to Lucah.“One glass of our special drink please.” She winked at him. A glass full of blood. Lucah just turn around to get what she asked for.“I think you made a bartender out of my secretary.” She smiles at me, then step closer to me, then about to pinch my cheek when I move a one step aback.“Haist. EL, wh
(Athena POV)Honestly, my hands are trembling and my heart beating so fast. I understand how the tension play in everyone athlete right now. Confidence could not achieve easily if we know that we are not that master in such a field we are sowing our career.I'm already preparing myself, just one more athlete and it's my turn to perform. But I couldn't help not to sign with the bow that I'm about to use. Then I scowled at the present the arrogant guy wants me to have. Tsk. I shake my head in disagreement to use it. Never. I will not use that. He probably might ask something in return. Not anymore. I am already brought last time when he helped me and asked to be his fiancée.I know that I'm going to win in this competition. And if I use that shit, they might think I won just because of my connection to the Grand Alpha's son. Tsk. That wou
(EL's POV)“So, she's here?” Diana could not believe it. “The woman your playing with?” I smile timidly at her. Then nodded in agreement with her. “Yes. And I will prove to you that I'm not in love with her.”“Oh really? Are you sure? Base on your eyes, I can tell that you’re in love with her.”“Hahaha. I just find her interesting, that's all.”“Then show me if I am wrong.”We walked outside to see Athena. I already saw her from the distance. Her face was a bit worried. Why? I instantly know the reason. She will be going to use her old and cheap bow. I gazed at Lucah, and he came closer to me. Whisper…“Miss Athena denied the gift.” I
(Wenziel POV)"Wenziel!" A voice full of authority. I know who own this voice. I stared at him once more. His face was familiar to me. I smirked at him. "Cerillo. Long-time no see buddy." I greeted him as I pull my revolver too. Cerillo, was my former colleague at the WSO. We were both assigned to lead a group. Serving the vampire lord with our pledged loyalty. I know he was still actively doing his things. "Tss. I'm glad you still recognize me. But what happened to you, Wenziel?” The blade finally returned to his hand. “Why did you turn your back on your sworn duty?!" I could see the anger in his eyes, maybe he just found out about the beastly act I made in my own
(Wenziel POV)"Tell me Cerillio, how could you do such a trash thing when you know it was unrightful to do so? I heard many have turned their backs from our clan. They open their eyes! How come you couldn’t see what we are seeing?!” He tilted his blade, the sharp edge honestly could cut out who would dare interfere. “And then why does it seem that I’m the only one he wants to capture?"It was a question that I know he did not expect me to ask. But he responded me with a grin. “Wenziel, he personally told me that as much as possible, he wants you alive when we bring you back before him. It's not too late for you Wenziel. You know that Alucard is dangerous. He will give you another chance if you voluntarily come with us."I
(EL POV)When Athena successfully aimed at the target, I smile for her achievement. Not bad at all. She got a score not that make her kin embarrass. Yet, as I looked back to her, Athena’s face suddenly turned pale. She was stunned like that of someone who has remembered a bad memory. Then dramatically close her eyes and before she fainted like a dehydrated blooming flower, I immediately jumped down to go to her direction.Some were shocked by what I did. Even Lucah failed to stop me. I was about to go to Athena to help her myself, but I was suddenly stunned when I saw an unfamiliar face… in my mind. A man was begging me to save someone.“Please! Save my daughter! Fulfill your promise to pro
(EL POV)I heard Diana's voice that make my back turn to Athena. Walk away from her before Diana could see her in my bed. “Whoa EL! You're unbelievable! This is my first time seeing you being concern with a woman!” Then she turned to the woman lying on the bed. "Do you know her?"I nodded in response to her question.“Really?” Her eyes met mine with surprised. “Why didn’t I know that? You never said anything to me. Then you never introduce him to me. Ahahaha. Your quite make a distance with me like that EL.
(EL POV)I returned to Athena who was already surrounded by Lucah's invited doctors. After they were done, Lucah guided them outside of the door. The color of Athena's face was getting better. Why would I be out of my control because of this woman? Then I haven’t notice that Diana follow me. She held my hand slightly, but I immediately avoided it. She will not be able to read my past nor future without my consent to do so. “I’m sorry.” I smile at her again. Athena’s pale face transfer to Diana. Yet, she was only worried to me. “Tell me, not every time you did see the future won
(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
