Author's Note: My lovelies, if you're sending gems for me, please do comment and let me know so I can give you a special shoutout! Also, all of you must've thought it was Ethan who fell first, but it was our Zeus baby who had been infatuated since the first day! How did you like the twist?
Zeus’s POV: For the past two years on this campus, I never bothered to show any interest towards the newbies who were selected from the entrance exams, since I was aware only the children from well-off families would bribe for their seats and later onwards, their families would go boasting around everywhere about their capable children who had enrolled in the prestigious Bordwell University. After spending such a long time amidst humans, I was very well aware of their selfish and greedy nature, and thus, it made my blood hunt easier on every full moon night, which I later onwards reduced to once every two months.Since the laws in this world were starting to get on my nerves, I tended to be careful before but to be on the safe side, I always changed place every decade and would never settle in one place, just like I was supposed to leave this Luminapost town after 10 years of residing here. I never wanted to leave any attachment behind once I was done and that’s why, I never bothere
Zeus’s POV:Before I was about to walk away from the pillar, I didn’t realize when Ethan had already reached close from behind that resulted in us accidentally bumping into each other. Since he was already distracted, Ethan stumbled his balance and was about to fall to the ground, before I hurriedly reached out my arm and grabbed him by his waist tight, pulling him close into my embrace. Now that I reminisce the memory of our first meeting, it was quite a dramatic moment when he fell straight into my arms. But the second I draped my arms around him, amidst the closed distance between us, suddenly I was awestruck by a whiff of soft but sweet intoxicating scent, similar to the fragrance of a bunch of fresh jasmine, emitting from Ethan! For a second I contemplated if it was the scent of his cologne…but quickly I realized, there was no way any man would use such a strong floral cologne in the first place. The scent was maddeningly alluring, and it was quite similar to those rare uniqu
Ethan’s POV:Kiss? Did I just hear it right? This feral, menacing werewolf who’s making the hairs on my neck stand up with just one glance demanded… a kiss from me!? No way it can be possible…I bet I must have truly lost my mind from the shock of this twisted situation. Or…I must have been hallucinating right now after bearing such a long, exhausting day, isn’t it?But puzzled in my thoughts when I was struggling to grasp over the situation, I jolted back to reality when I heard the sound of Zeus marching his footsteps closer, glowering his dark eyes at me. Those eyes looked similar to the gaze of a predator, marching towards his prey after succeeding in cornering it, amidst darkness looming around him. To be honest, it felt too scary for me to meet those eyes which were glowing red with shrunk animalistic pupils just a while ago, as it kept replaying the gore scene in my head when I saw Zeus in his real monstrous form, holding that blood dripping chunk of flesh within his claws.
Ethan’s POV:A harrowing surge of anxiety stifled my breath, as I stood frozen sensing the presence of countless mysterious figures hidden in the dark that had surrounded us from all around. The glistening moonlit couldn’t cover the dark shadows looming behind those giant eucalyptus trees but the intense tremors of the ground under my feet which I had mistaken as of earthquake had gradually stopped on their own. While I was panicking inside, after hearing my rigid denial, Zeus exhaled a big huff of breath but his grimace darkened a bit from angst, as I could sense an unusual scary aura of him. He retained that anticipating pause, before a scoffed remark escaped from him, “Then…I guess you leave me with no other choice, Ethan Marley. “Remember, you’re the one who sealed your fate tonight….” “H-Huh?” I couldn’t realize initially why his impassive low voice echoed like a warning bell in my head, but before I could bring myself to utter a word, suddenly my ocean eyes rolled from shock
Ethan’s POV:For a second, I couldn’t help but sneer at the awkward tension building between us two men, but I couldn’t choose which among the reasons I should select first… the one where Zeus was making that dumbfounded face at me after hearing my answer as if he had witnessed a ghost right before him or the eerie silence that fell around us inside the forest, making my palpitations stir inside faster. But while he stood still, staring at me with that look of utter disbelief, his reaction was ticking off my nerves, even though I knew I should’ve better kept my temper in check being already surrounded by danger everywhere.“I told you exactly what you wanted to hear, Zeus. I will accept your condition and do exactly as you said… But in return, promise me that you won’t go back on your words either. Swear that to me first!” Cutting off the silence, when I blatantly asserted my answer once again this time without shivering or stuttering, his perplexed face was soon tainted with dark a
Ethan’s POV:Wait…is this all even real? Or am I going through an immoral hallucination that’s fading all of my rational senses?Despite my several attempts to push him away with my arms, soon it dawned on me that my strength was utterly fragile compared to Zeus. The more I tried to resist, the more I found myself entangled within his strong embrace, as he pressed his taut upper body against mine. His one arm wrapped me tightly around my waist, pulling me closer but with his other arm, he held me by my chin, quite a bit forcibly to make sure I wouldn’t try something funny to break free from his grasp. Initially, I couldn’t imagine kissing a man in this lascivious way, not even in my distant wild dreams. I had a few gay classmates of mine in high school, and I was never homophobic…so being with them didn’t make me feel weird at all. But this dazzling handsome surreal guy, Zeus Blackwell had completely altered my mind and life, as I was bashful to admit it myself that I didn’t find th
Ethan’s POV:Ahh, finally! Finally, I made it to my dream university after all these years of working myself to the bone…Bordwell University, my dream campus. Standing in front of the lavish campus entrance gate, I couldn’t help but feel a bit overwhelmed by my emotions. My new life begins here…a life where I could provide a good life for my mother who’s the only family I am left with in the whole world. After losing my father to a car accident when I was only 7, my mother was still very young and beautiful. But without listening to anyone’s advice, she didn’t give up on me and rather raised me all alone facing the turbulence of hardships throughout her whole life. Watching her suffer all her life while holding a serene smile on her lips, ignited the fire within me from a very young age to be very successful in life so that she would never have to work again to make ends meet. The first step towards my long-awaited goal was to graduate from the most prestigious university in the c
Ethan’s POV:“Are you alright?”A kind, soft voice from behind summoned me as I turned back to notice the person who had called me. That guy was also a tall, handsome young man, but a little shorter than me in height. Wearing specs and looking a bit nerdy, he seemed like a studious polite student, but I wondered if all the guys on this campus were blessed with handsome faces.“Well, I happened to meet an arrogant jerk on my first day here. So, I am a little perplexed right now. I wonder if the other people here are at least a bit friendly…” Gulping my saliva, I answered him in a low, irked tone while glancing at the way that jerk just left. “Well, everyone who runs into Zeus for the first time has the same experience more or less. He’s just the opposite trait of yours.” That guy chuckled a bit while responding to me, walking closer. “Zeus?” I quickly caught his point, frowning my brows as I questioned, “Did you see me bumping into that jerk? Are you talking about him?”His smile wi

Zeus’s POV:…They were the last words I heard from someone who meant the whole world to me. She wasn’t worthless… in fact, she was my everything. But I didn’t ever get the chance to say it to her. My heart had died on that day when I lost her in the cruel hands of fate, but my body kept on living…probably because I was still bound to her by the promise she had made to me while breathing her last breath. I was bound to wait for her…eternally if it takes…After two centuries, I stopped counting the years with the dim ray of hope that gradually faded inside my cold heart. On that snowy cold winter, I had held Sophia’s blood-soaked body in my arms for the very last time and cried my eyes out, with that gut-wrenching pain forming a knot deep inside my chest. Thus, every year during
Ethan’s POV:“You never fail to amaze me with your quirks…Ethan Marley.” After Zeus was done laughing at me up to his heart’s content, his deep murmur winced me a little as I didn’t fail to catch the hint of sarcasm from his tone. When I averted my frowned gaze up at him, his cold dark eyes were already glued on me shimmered in the dark when he curved a small smug at me, “You really assumed that…I have been doing all these to steal liver from humans? Seriously? You labeled a Supreme Alpha like me the same as a puny organ smuggler!? This is the worst accusation I have been ever charged with in my whole life!” Even though Zeus retained a smug face, the offense from his tone made me a little worried, as I was truly being cautious not to irk his temper at that moment when I was already on the verge of life and death. With a gulp, I pursed my lips while mumbling at him, “So…y-you…don’t crave for livers?” “Of course not!” He scowled at me, sounding pretty annoyed from his tone while ma
Ethan’s POV:A Supreme…Alpha Werewolf?It’s not like I wasn’t aware of these mythical beasts who were once considered among the greatest supernatural beings to exist in ancient times, trampling over the powerless human society. But as our world evolved into modernization, gradually the debate about the existence of these phenomenal creatures around us was denied to the extent they were only considered as a myth. But all these theories could never stop my strange curiosity that grew towards werewolves since I was in elementary school. Often when I was small, I would have nightmares of scary dark creatures chasing after me through a thick eerie forest through which I ran aimlessly fast to save my life, and that would result in me awakening with cold sweat. But as I gradually grew older, I began to realize through countless documentaries and fantasy movies that those creatures whom I dreamt of chasing after me were known as ‘werewolves’, predatory ruthless monsters who once used to con
