Ethan’s POV:
As much as I was barely suppressing my vicious urge to twist his dirty hand with which he dared to grope my ass, shuffling my glare at his nasty smug face I gritted, “What the fuck…are you doing?”
“I am just trying to be a bit familiar with you. It’s uncommon to find such a cute pretty boy like you here. You seem like a newbie at Bordwell University, right?”
Without showing any minimal shame, that bastard groped my butt cheek a little hard this time, giving it a little squeeze, “I had my eyes following you since the moment I saw you here today, boy. It was a perfect chance to approach you when I saw you alone at the bar counter. Besides, you are perfectly my type.”
While growing up in my small hometown, I had a vague idea of the kinds of perverts existing in this world, but this baldie bastard even topped them all!
What kind of a vulgar pervert does someone have to be to approach a perfectly manly guy like me, and even call me cute? How dare he!?
Strangely I observed the bartender had noticed this bastard molesting me, but he turned his gaze away in an act as if he didn’t see anything at all.
Realizing I was all alone here to save my dignity, I grabbed the glass of whiskey with my shivering hands that he placed before me on the table and intended to splash it on that pervert’s face before beating him to a pulp.
But before resorting to violence, I tossed an angry sneer at him to give my first and last warning, “Sir, get your hands off me, right now. Can’t you see, I am a fuckin’ man? Keep your vulgar compliments to yourself, I find them disgusting!”
“Ohh, haha…I especially have a particular infatuation towards furious kittens like you.” But instead of taking my warning seriously, that pervert leaned a little close to me before he whispered cryptically in my ears.
“I am the second largest shareholder of this hotel, so…don’t worry about money. I can give you anything you desire in the world, and don’t be mistaken, I am not seeking you for just one night. Since you have caught my liking, how about becoming my sugar baby?”
I was almost about to splash the whiskey on his face, but his words froze me for a second.
Indeed from his flashy appearance outfit and jewelry, I had assumed this pervert to be some kind of bigshot, but I didn’t imagine he would turn out as one of the highest shareholders of this magnificent hotel! If I beat the crap out of him just as I want, I was sure, he would definitely sue me with defamation charges…and there’s no way, I would be able to pay any crazy thick sum as compensation.
As much as I was angry and disgusted by his touch, my own helpless background frustrated me the most when I had to accept I was in no position in life to pick a fight with a billionaire.
Thus, gritting my jaws, I clenched my fist tight, praying for some miracle to save me from that suffocating situation.
As if my prayers were quickly answered, my miracle approached in the form of a giant majestic shadow looming from behind who yanked that bastard’s hand away from my butt.
With a flinch, when I turned around, I saw it was Zeus, holding a death glare in his scary eyes towards that baldie pervert! Clenching his hand by his wrist, Zeus made him quiver in pain from the sudden strong yank, as if his shoulder was a little dislocated!
“Ugh, uh…my hand, ouch! Who’re you—”
“He’s not someone you can casually touch.”
Adding to my surprise as I couldn’t stop staring at him, Zeus protruded his glaring eyes walking close to that pervert, sounding very ominous from his tone. Squeezing his wrist within his tight grasp, I saw him curve a wicked sneer at him when he further grunted, “If you’re in dire need of company, how about leaving the party with me? With me rest assured, you will have such a terrific night that you won’t forget for the rest of your life!”
I gulped anxiously just watching the scary darkness prominent in his eyes, but I could imagine how badly Zeus must have scared that man with his menacing growl. As he forcibly drew his arm from his grasp, I saw his wrist had formed a big red bruise, giving me the idea of how tightly Zeus must have clenched his arm to make it hurt!
“F-Fuckin’ psycho! What an eyesore to ruin my good time…there’s no way I would ever prefer a scary hound like you!”
Cussing at Zeus, that old pervert almost rushed away from there as if his pride couldn’t bear getting humiliated before me by such a majestic man like Zeus, who stood firmly in front of me, guarding me like a shield. Now I noticed that the leather jacket he was putting on had a big ‘golden wolf-head’ design embroidered with gold on the broad back, making it seem like a custom-made jacket for him.
The picture of that wolf-head was quite scary to look at, with red big eyes as if they were gawking directly at me! I had never seen anyone wear a leather jacket with such an odd design, which made me wonder if it was one of his fashion preferences.
I huffed a big sigh of relief after a few seconds of anticipating silence that persisted between us. Finally, I lifted my ocean eyes to look at Zeus’s face who was still making sure if that pervert had left the hall or not.
Despite I considered him a rude unlucky jerk, Zeus indeed stepped up like a true hero and saved me from the harassment. His action now gave me a brief idea of why the girls on the campus were crazy about him…because at that moment, even in my eyes he seemed like a true knight in his shining armor.
“T-Thank you…” I squeezed my words out to initiate a first cordial conversation between us, moving a little closer to him. “I am truly thankful that you saved me—”
“Did I interrupt a good time here?”
“Huh?” But before I could finish my sentence, his irked taunt flinched me a little as Zeus finally turned around, meeting his scary dark eyes with me.
With a solemn look on his handsome face, Zeus narrowed his dark eyes on me before his lips curved into an angry sneer, “That pervert had been groping you for a while but instead of punching on his face, you were seated quietly as if you were fine with that! So, I am curious, were you actually enjoying it when the pervert groped your butt?”
“W-What the fuck are you talking about!?” The minimal hope of having a cordial conversation with him dissipated the second I heard him labeling me with such a disgusting accusation. Glowering my eyes, I loudly opposed, “How can you even think I was enjoying that bastard harassing me?”
“Because your actions said so.” I saw the sneer widen on his jaws when he sounded quite agitated from his tone, charging at me further, “I was already aware of your perverted tendencies when you bumped into me while ogling at girls and then couldn’t keep your eyes off me either when I was asleep next to you.
“So, maybe…you actually enjoyed it when that old baldie groped you, didn’t you? Isn’t that why you were oddly silent instead of protesting? Be honest, if you’re upset that I chased him away, how about I call him back and book a room for you two tonight—”
“WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, ZEUS BLACKWELL?”
Unable to keep my patience and temper in check anymore after hearing such disgusting allegations coming from Zeus whom I had considered as my knight just a moment ago.
I rushed closer and grabbed him by his collar while swirling my furious eyes at him as I grumbled aloud, “How dare you accuse me of such filthy allegations? You be honest with me now, you’re doing this intentionally, don’t you? You are the one who’s provoking me since morning so, tell me, what is your fuckin’ problem with me??”
Author's Note: Please keep showing your love and support with the comments and reviews...I will be always in dire need of it.
Ethan's POV:> “Oh my! Look the newbie is picking a fight with Zeus!” > “What is wrong with him? Does he think he can stand against Zeus’s robust strength?”The moment I rushed up to Zeus and grabbed him by his collar I could hear those intense whispers among the crowd which was watching us eagerly. While I was furious by his insulting remark, that jerk appeared strangely calm while facing me, without showing any sign of discontent as I had lowkey expected him to throw his hands first at me since I had dared to grab the ‘Dark Prince’ by his collar in front of all his admirers.But as if to add gasoline to my rage, I saw the smug widen on his lips when he snorted, “You’re the one who forcibly sat on my desk when I had told you to go away, remember? Besides, this is the kind of reaction you should’ve shown to that man, but instead when I pointed out the truth, you’re getting angry with me?” “Truth? Do you really think I enjoyed him groping me? Are you really fuckin’ crazy!?” His humili
Ethan’s POV:This peculiar coincidence startled me a bit since I didn’t expect the girl who had caught my interest here to be the first to approach me at the party. Despite getting a little flustered by Hermes’s tease, I didn’t turn her invitation down, as I was in dire need of something to distract me from all the chaos going on inside my head. Soon when Hermes left leaving me with Lena, I sat along with her on the velvet couch which was located on the opposite corner of the hall room. While I could feel a nervousness budding in between us now that we both were alone, Lena cordially initiated a conversation first, “Ethan, I hope I didn’t make you uncomfortable by asking for some spare time, right?” “O-Oh, of course not!” Quickly shaking my head in denial, when I responded to her, she seemed quite pleased with my answer, grinning broadly. “You must be wondering among all these students here at the party, why did I approach you here, right?” Her next question also winced me a little
Ethan's POV:BA-DUMP! THUMP! THUMP!While the sound of my erratically fast pounding heart echoed vibrantly in my ears as I entered the forest, I could feel dreadful shivers crawling down my spine. The moonlit had started to lessen drastically as I entered deeper into the woods, and I also witnessed a foggy haze covering the giant trees around me mysteriously which projected an uncanny aura about that forest! Apart from the sound of my rushing footsteps crushing the dried eucalyptus leaves, I could only hear the faint sound of small insects like crickets, apart from that…there was a complete silence around me as if I had walked into a forbidden territory!After I had entered quite deeper inside the woods, I halted my footsteps, gazing deliberately around me only to realize that all the ways ahead of me looked the exact same, and I couldn’t find the way either through which I entered the forest. Thus, it would be safe to mention I was lowkey lost and stuck in the middle of that cursed
Ethan's POV:All of a sudden, I saw that the vast area was fogged with mist, and slowly, a massive giant figure looming in the dark approached me in slow, steady steps. It didn’t seem like a human, but a creature who was approximately double in height than me, with huge broad shoulders! I couldn’t see his face, but his eyes seemed abnormally scary, making my blood run cold! I saw his eyes glowing red like a beast, protruding a fierce gaze towards me, but his pupils had shrunk to make it look like a pair of wolf eyes! My body was frozen in fear but I saw that cryptic figure march towards me slowly as the fog started to clear up on its own. With a faint trace of moonlit falling on his arms, I saw it was twice as big as the typical normal human size, covered with thick pitch-black fur. Most importantly that bloody red flame which I had mistaken as a wildfire was radiating all around his big arms, as if that creature was carrying a ball of fire in his arms! The moment he walked a littl
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
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
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
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
Ethan's POV:With that realization, I exhaled a heavy sigh and sat on the wooden bench again feeling drained. This town was a new place for me and there was no way I could ask someone else for Zeus’s number without inviting unnecessary attention, so naturally, there was no other option to contact Zeus except to face him at the campus. But deep down in my heart, I knew, by the way, I lashed out at him earlier, my self-confidence had taken a hit as I couldn’t muster the strength to meet him directly without a trial conversation at first. At least, through the phone call, I could have tested the waters to see if Zeus was maddeningly infuriated with me or if he was willing to have a negotiating conversation! Though I didn’t have high hopes for Zeus to be still calm with me after I harshly treated him when he went too far even to help this miserable old man. To be honest, I had already prepared myself to fall on my knees to beg his mercy if things went wrong, considering I had witnessed
Ethan’s POV: After a brief anticipated silence fell between us, the old man quietly stared at me for a while before letting out a small dull smile. His smile was mixed with a hint of sadness in his droopy eyes while he lifted his gaze down from me, “I am sorry, young man. Hearing everything, you must've felt pretty disgusted to think I compared you to my heinous son… But… it's just that my son wasn't always such a terrible human. “My wife had passed away long ago when he was still just a child, and I raised him all alone without asking for anyone's help. Long ago, he was a bright, good kid anyone could ask for…but…” Suddenly his words trailed off when he made a grimacing expression. Just glancing at him once I could tell that he was trying hard to suppress his tears before me. Honestly, I wasn't disgusted about the fact that he thought of his own son upon meeting me, but my mind was most importantly preoccupied with thoughts about Zeus, and the ugly spat we had just moments earli
Ethan’s POV:“Good to see you again, Sir?” It took me a while to muster my courage before I approached the old cab driver, who was still gazing blankly at the picture he held in his right hand. He didn’t seem to notice me arriving before, but hearing my voice, he flinched and quickly lifted up his gaze at me. Then he reverted back with a soft smile, “Oh, you’re the young man from yesterday…such a nice coincidence to run into you here.” Under the pretense of that kind smile, I didn’t fail to notice he quickly tucked that picture inside his chest pocket with his clumsy hand movements as if he didn’t intend to show that to me. As much as I could feel my guilt-stricken feelings piling up inside my heart, I had to mask a fake smile while I quietly walked up to the public bench he was seated on. I sat next to him and exhaling a heavy sigh, I politely addressed, “Yes, fancy running into you here, Sir. I came to the Asian restaurant to have a quick bite with my friend—”Suddenly my words
Zeus's POV:Zeus’s POV:I had almost considered my wolf’s plea for not harming these young betas following our divine Moon Goddesses’s command and letting them get away with a stern warning. But the second one among them mentioned Ethan while I was already considering leaving from there, my motion feet halted on the ground, surprising me to my core. My face turned dark from a wave of dread and panic that washed over me the moment I recalled Ethan’s smiling, innocent face before my eyes. Since the very second I decided to bind Ethan by my side by forming the pact, I was aware of exposing him to the dangers of this dark world from where creatures like me belonged. It was a selfish choice…but if I wanted someone to share space by my side in this cold, lonely world…my heart knew it had to be someone as pure as Ethan. Despite harboring hatred towards humans for all these decades, my heart felt soothed by his presence from the very first moment he caught my eyes. Since that night of sno
Zeus’s POV:My head hurts…and I feel this strange uneasiness rising inside me when I parted ways from Ethan. Honestly, I didn’t want to leave him all by himself, but I didn’t want to irk him even more than how he already seemed furious at me. After living almost for an eternity among the humans, I was quite accustomed to their selfish egocentric nature, so I wasn’t startled by how the crowd inside that restaurant reacted to me. But Ethan never failed to amaze me…since the first time, I laid my eyes on him. The way he boldly defended me before everyone, shook me from inside, as the realization finally hit me that there was someone else apart from Anna, especially a human, who didn’t abandon my side, despite knowing my real truth. I knew Ethan had labeled me as a monster, but his kind actions wavered me to give in a fleeting hope, and before I knew…I was already comfortable with his presence next to me. He was a kind boy, and due to his kind and affectionate nature, he gave into my s
Ethan's POV:“What’s wrong?”It seemed Zeus had quickly noticed my sudden halt, while my sad eyes were fixed in the direction of that elderly man, seated dejected, all alone with a photograph and a half-eaten sandwich on the other hand. Hearing his curious low voice snapped me back to reality from my thoughts but I couldn’t hold back those detestable feelings growing inside me towards Zeus. Upon shuffling my gaze back on him, I saw his big pitch-black eyes were fixated on me, while I could see concern written all over his face. He seemed anxious from my sudden change of expression, but my feet unknowingly parted a few steps away from him as we were walking closely next to each other. “Are you feeling sick again? Want me to drive back to the mansion?” While I bore a fidgety silence between us, Zeus’s concerned voice made me feel more restless as if all of my emotions were a jumbled mess inside me. His eyes and voice clearly expressed his concern for me, but even looking at that ma
Ethan's POV: Struggling to contain my perplexed feelings at that moment as I was barely holding myself from starting a fight with all those women scornfully gawking at our table, when I let out a big exhale, Zeus finally lifted his gaze towards me. Until now, he was still happily chomping on his meat dumplings, like an adorable squirrel stuffing its cheeks with a bunch of peanuts. But meeting my orbs, he quickly asked me, “Do you feel sick from eating that spicy stuff? If you feel unwell, let me know but don’t suddenly collapse like last night.” For a second, it baffled me to realize that Zeus’s entire focus was fixated on me as if I was the only one in this world who mattered to him at that moment. Given that, he was completely oblivious to the surroundings who only harshly condemned him, but all those bullshit rubbish about this person had started to irk me badly. So, I let out another heavy huff of breath, lowering my spoon as I met his curious gaze before speaking, “Zeus…I am
Ethan's POV:The touch of his cool palm brushing against my warm skin winced me a little, but what startled me the most was that even though I was fumed from hearing all those people cussing at him nonsensically, Zeus seemed very calm, catering his whole attention to me instead. His serene onyx eyes curved into a soft smile, when he slightly nudged his finger against my palm as he uttered, “Do not let these humans bother your sanity, Ethan. Look at me here instead, and try to be a bit calm.” “How can you be so calm when your dignity is tarnished?” I frowned my brows a little hard, asking him in a stiff low pitch to which Zeus only let out a warm snicker, “Honestly, I don’t care whatever they talk about me or what they intend to label me…but I am glad nonetheless.” “Glad? About what?” “You’re the reason, Ethan.” Once again, startling me with his soft gaze and a tender press on my hand on the table, Zeus seemed much more sincere from his tone as I could read his facial expression see
Ethan's POV:It seemed like her plan succeeded when that bratty high schooler managed to gain the crowd’s attention with her loud pitch. Just a second ago the eyes of all those women passionately gawking at Zeus without fail, now were filled with despise and strong contempt which I vividly noticed this time. Strangely in contrast to my vexed mood, Zeus stayed very calm, folding his arms over his chest before he answered that girl in a cordial tone, “For being together here with a man if I am labeled as a gay man, I don’t have any objection to your allegation. You could say to me whatever you intend to, but don’t include him in this mess.” I was awestruck by his answer for a brief moment, unable to process that even when his dignity was hurt in front of so many watching eyes, Zeus still firmly took the stand for not letting me be involved in any kind of malicious rumors. Like a giant shield, he was prepared to bear everything alone, enduring all those scornful gazes fixated on him.
