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
Zeus’s POV: After living in desolation for years amidst the humans, for the first time, the detection of my own emotions left me baffled. I couldn’t fathom why would I feel these passionate desires surging inside me like an active volcano, particularly towards this young, naive boy whose gleaming ocean-blue eyes had me captivated since the first time I set my gaze on him. But never did I realize my suppressed ardent desires would eventually erupt the moment I held him in my embrace. The warmth of his body touched the numb coldness I had been harboring deep inside me, making me forget about the rest of the world existing around us, even if it was for that fleeting moment. I was supposed to be gentle and not scare him away any further than he already had been, but losing my control, I acted no less than a starving beast who had just caught on his prey after a long, eternal wait.Honestly, judging his reaction before, I had assumed Ethan would feel disgusted the moment I put my lips on
Ethan’s POV:My head felt heavy with an unusual dizziness clouding my mind, but slowly, I woke up from a long, deep slumber. My whole body was groggy…and I couldn’t tell where I was, or how much time had passed. Even in that drowsy state with my eyes closed, I sensed that I was lying on a cozy warm bed, tucked in by a soft quilt. The sleeping posture felt pretty comfortable and it inclined me to go back to sleep at least for a few more hours. But right at that moment, when Zeus's smug face flashed before my vision, my eyes opened without a quick jolt, without a second delay! The reality hit me hard, making me remember all the dreadful memories from last night one by one even though I deliberately hoped to forget all of it like some bad dream. A cold chill crawled down my spine, my lips quivered when I couldn’t shake off my perturbed emotions knowing that after I had witnessed one of the harrowing nights of my life, I passed out in Zeus’s arms right after making out with him!Damn it
Zeus’s POV:One week?Indeed, after facing such deep, stabbing wounds, I was assuming to be tormented by a severe gut-wrenching pain to stir all over by body, since I had already noticed the amount of wolfsbane dust soaked in the silver daggers with which they had attacked me, it might not be lethal amount to kill me but it was more than enough to leave some serious injuries. While I had such a yearning dream, watching Sophia once again right by my side, I didn’t have the slightest idea how much time had passed in the real world. When I woke up, the gut-wrenching pain all across my body, especially on my abdomen, felt a lot less than what I had hoped for, which ultimately made me feel boisterous about my fast-healing strength. But to think I was out like a light for a whole week, despite being a Supreme pure blood Alpha, it was something that took a huge blow to my pride. I gritted my jaws, lowering my gaze down from Ethan, who still stared at me with concern in his ocean orbs. Des
Zeus’s POV:While I was momentarily lost in admiring how delicately beautiful Ethan looked under the morning sunrays, I smiled at myself, watching how much he had drooled while sleeping peacefully in my arms. Knowing his panicky nature, I found myself being keen to watch his reaction once he realized he was cuddling with me on my bed… But watching him from close, I also observed that his face looked a little pale, as if he wasn’t getting proper rest lately, I intended to let him sleep for some more time.However, since I couldn’t recall how much time had passed or for how long I had been unconscious on my bed, my throat strangely felt parched and dry from thirst. Without intending to wake up Ethan, I tried gently placing his head on the pillow by drawing away my arm. But his grip on my arm quickly tightened from my slight movement, and he flickered his long lashes to open those beautiful ocean eyes, blinking at me in a drowsy murmur, “Why…are…you…moving so much, idiot? L-Let me slee
Zeus’s POV:~ “You may not realize it yet…but maybe you’ve found me already?”That familiar, soft, sad voice resonated deeply in my head, making me blink open my eyes with a sudden flinch. It was as if I was stuck in a time loop of repeating events. When I opened my eyes this time, I realized I had transitioned back to my reality rather than being stuck in my yearning lost dream. I lost her once again…in my life…and now…in my dream too. My heart felt a void deep inside as I blankly stared at the ceiling of my room, filling me up with an emptiness that choked my breath. Despite I acted like a pathetic moron and vented out my frustrations on the woman I had been dying to see one more time, her warm soothing hug seemed to absorb a bit of the despair I have been carrying alone inside my heart all this time. Like always, I remember, even in my dream, Sophia smelled like the soft green grasses after a fresh rain shower, one of my favorite scents since I have always liked the scent of flo
Zeus’s POV:The sound of my sniffling tears and raspy breath echoed inside the small hut, resulting from the undying despair I have been bearing inside me for so long, and led an anticipated silence between us. But even though all of my vulnerable emotions were spilling out in the form of tears streaming down my cheeks endlessly, my vision had turned completely blurred, making me surprised to find myself crying out so helplessly in front of her. It left me bashful, but I could feel a load deep down my chest felt a little lighter when I sobbed my heart out before her. Like always, Sophia gently cupped my face while continuing to wipe my tears with her soft fingertips. Her angelic face was tainted with sadness to see me in this bereaved state, but she tried consoling my heart just the way she used to do it before. “Lord Zeus…I know everything. I have seen what you’ve gone through…and…I do not blame you the slightest for everything that you had to bear all alone. Instead…my heart…break
Zeus’s POV:With a sudden jolt, I woke up from my deep slumber, hearing the sound of mild canary birds chirping close to me. While trying to blink open my drowsy eyes, my head felt quite heavy with a dull pain aching all over my body, leaving me at a sluggish state. When my drowsy vision cleared up a little, the memories from last night were slowly retrieved in my mind. Fighting alone against those bunch of warrior betas while getting stabbed by wolfsbane-soaked silver daggers, I still managed to return home in a bloodsoaked state, only to collapse in Ethan’s arms, who seemed oddly at edge while trying to confront me. Watching me collapse all of a sudden must have made him hysterical, as by now I was already aware of his habit of losing nerve quickly whenever a tough situation arose…and compared to him, I was the calmer one to handle him with care. So, when my vision almost cleared up, and I hoped to go looking around for Ethan to finish our conversation from last night, suddenly,
Ethan’s POV:The second Zeus placed his lips on mine, a jolt of electric current stuck in me and I stood awestruck with my eyes wide open, unknowingly accepting his advances. In that glamorous knight armor with that shimmering long black hair that drifted along with the mild night breeze wafting past us in the middle of that dark forest, for a second the ethereal moment left me to stunned to even breathe. It was the second time Zeus drew me into a kiss, but unlike the first time when he intently played it a bit rough, this time, his warm hands held me tenderly by my waist, and he placed his other arm cupping my face. But I was quite taken aback to realize he was treating me way a bit too gently as if I was someone too precious to him to apply a minimal force on my body! Moreover, when he whispered into my ears earlier, calling me ‘his mate’, I saw his rolled onyx eyes filled with pure devotion, and an ardent flare of passion as if at that moment he wanted to scream before the whole
Ethan’s POV:With an unusual jolt, I blinked and found myself lying down on a heap of dried leaves, at the center of a dark cryptic forest. A faint trace of moonlight was visible inside that pitch-black forest, but the eerie atmosphere surrounding me left me pretty baffled for a while. Even though I couldn’t initially fathom how I reached inside this deep cryptic forest when I was seated next to Zeus a while ago inside his room. After a brief contemplation, when I admitted my feelings for him it had turned me flustered red from the aftermath of the realization, making my cheeks flustered red, and my head spin with all the chaotic emotions gushing inside me. My body temperature was rising to the point that I felt like I might get a heat stroke…but how the hell did I arrive at this thick scary forest? But while I deliberately gazed around myself, suddenly I sensed a peculiar familiarity amidst the surroundings which made me conclude that it wasn’t even real. I had initially hoped tha
Ethan’s POV:As much as I deliberately tried to hide my flustered face in response to Anna’s sarcastic taunt, when she exited the room and closed the door behind her, a heavy exhale fell off me. I averted my gaze back on Zeus’s numb, and completely still face as I grabbed my seat next to him on the bedside. I dimmed the bright lights glowing in the room to make sure he would have a restful sleep, but even with the gentle moonlit beaming through the window inside, Zeus still appeared extremely alluring like a Prince of Night, making me unable to take my eyes off him. Being lost in his magnetic charm, I slowly reached my hand out to touch him on his side- face softly, as if I unknowingly wanted to make sure that he was alive, comparing how listless he was lying down before me. My fingers gently grazed against his pale smooth skin, but the freezing cold temperature of his body startled me a bit hard as I whined at him on my own. “Hey…why is your body cold as a block of ice? You…aren’t
Ethan’s POV:After being frantically scolded by Anna, I tried to hold onto my silence to ensure I wouldn’t get on her nerves too much while she did her best to treat wounded Zeus. Though I couldn’t recognize why the uneasiness kept on growing inside me vigorously from watching Zeus in such a miserable state, her raging blue eyes served as a major warning to me that I mustn’t try to do anything that might trigger her wrath to attack or throw me out of the room instead. At the very least, I wanted to stay by Zeus’s side for now. From what I have read in the ancient literature, werewolves were the deadly mythical beasts who once ruled the world and acted on their impulses to attain their dominance, unlike humans who were treated as their slaves and only allowed to use emotions more. Thus when I fell silent, I saw Anna quietly pressing Zeus’s wounded areas with her palms mixed with concoctions, and chanted something with a murmur sound, following which an illuminant bluish flame emitt
