83.Queen Bree looked at her daughter from head to toes. She scrutinized Naya with her gaze. When did her daughter get a mate and she wasn't aware? How did it happen?“You have a mate?” She asked to be sure. Maybe she had heard wrong, and through her question, Naya would clear things up and tell her it was slip of tongue or she didn't listen well.Naya nodded. “Yes, mother. I have a mate now, so I can't take Prince Leonard with me.” She answered.Queen Bree signed. “Naya, I am your mother and you know I want the best for you. We both know it's pretty hard for you to find your mate. You've been trying to find your mate for a while now, I can remember that. Because I asked you to marry the prince shouldn't get you scared to the extent of you lying to me about having a mate.” She replied.“I'm telling the truth. This is something very serious and I would never joke with it. I saw my mate in the Academy.”The queen sighed. “Alright then. Why hasn't he asked you on a date to the dance?” She
84.“Are you for real?” Selene asked and Naya nodded.“I found out the day we sat by that window, looking at the footballers and Dominic walked away with you. I got to know he was my mate then but I was shocked and when he asked whether I felt what he was feeling, I denied and walked away. I don't think he's interested in me though. He doesn't even look my way for once and it makes me feel bad.”“Wow!” Selene was still in shock. After listening to everything Naya said, she realized her powers were growing weak. She was the moon goddess and giving Nate's was her specialty but then time around, she couldn't even sense anything and all of a sudden, Naya and Bryce are mates.She rubbed her palms together. The longer she stays on earth, the weaker she becomes. She couldn't wait to get out of here.She placed her hands on Maya's shoulders. “Everything is going to be fine. Maybe this is happening to test the love you two have for each other. Maybe he is still in shock and has no idea how to h
85.“What did you just say? Are you trying to tell me that you left me and asked Selene to be your prom date? Why?” Matilda asked. She was in pain. How could he do something like this to her? She thought they had something going on. Yes, she was aware Selene had been taking his attention these days, but she didn't know he would go as far as making her his date.Dominic shrugged. “Because Selene is the one I like.” He answered and she frowned.“What about me, Dominic? Whose date am I going to be now?” She asked.“I am sure there are plenty of guys without dates, who would love to have you as their date.”“I don't want them. It's you I want!” She snapped but he shook his head. “I seriously have no idea what you see in Selene. She is just an ordinary girl that no one knows where she even comes from. Is that the kind of person you want?” She asked.Dominic smiled. “That's the reason why I like her, Matilda. I love her because she is ordinary and she makes mistakes. She isn't perfect.” He d
86.Selene had just finished her meditation and sat on the chair in her room with her legs crossed. She had a frown on her face. She had done that meditation to see whether her powers were really gone and so far, she saw that she was weaker than when she was in the realm. She hated that.She facepalmed and rolled a magical ball in her hand as she thought of all that has been happening lately. The sound of her doorbell disrupted her thoughts and she stood to her feet, wondering who had come to visit her by this time.She left her room for the living room and peeped through the keyhole. It was Dominic. She opened the door and he smiled at her.“Hey! I bought food!” He exclaimed and showed her the package.“Hi, come in,” She forced a smile. She wasn't actually in the mood to see anyone right now but for him she can make an exception. Besides, she just realized she didn't even cook and hadn't eaten anything.Dominic walked in and dropped the food on the table. He opened up the package and
87.**8 DAYS TO THE FULL MOON**……Selene sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror. It was finally the day of prom, and heck was she nervous. Artemis had come to help her get dressed, and should I say the goddess literally transformed her.She wore a strapless, floor-length gown in a rich, forest green color. The gown was made of satin and had a sweetheart neckline with a corseted bodice. It was figure-hugging, but not too tight, and it had a subtle train that swept the floor. On her feet, she wore delicate, crystal-encrusted heels that gave her an extra bit of height. Artemis styled her hair in loose, romantic waves that cascaded down her back. She had left some tendrils loose to frame her face, and she had added a few tiny braids to add some texture and interest. Her makeup was kept simple and natural, with a light foundation, rosy blush, and a soft pink lip. But her eyes were the real focus, with smoky eyeshadow and fluttering lashes. As she looked at her reflection, she fel
88.Damon stretched his hand for a handshake but Dominic yanked it away.“Didn't I warn you not to come close to her? I told you she is taken.” Dominic frowned.“Yeah, I got your point. This is just a friendly handshake, nothing more.”“There should be nothing more.” He held Selene's hand and took her away from there as the music resumed. Damon smirked. This was easier than he thought. Soon, everything would fall into place, and he would be allowed to rain down the destructions he desperately wanted.“Selene!” Naya screamed as she rushed to Selene, engulfing her in a big hug.“Oh, Naya,” Selene hugged her back.They pulled away from the hug and Naya couldn't help but gush at how beautiful she looked. “Gosh, you look amazing. Who did your makeup?” She asked.“A friend of mine.” Selene replied with a smile.“Gosh, she must have the hands of a goddess. Everything is done perfectly. I wish to meet this friend of yours one day. She must do my makeup as well. When do I get to meet her?” Na
89.Selene expected this, but now that it was happening, she couldn't believe her eyes and ears. She shook her head, taking a step back.“No, Dominic. You can't love me.” She continued to shake her head.“I can, Selene. I know I wasn't good to you from the beginning. I know I hurt you sometimes, and it was because I couldn't bring myself to accept the fact that I loved you. I thought it was just a phase, but I was wrong. I love you so much. Give me a chance to show you just how much I love you, Selene.” He tried to touch her, but she moved back.“We can't work out, Dominic. I'm not the one for you. I'll end up leaving you, please don't love me.” She pleaded with him.Dominic had no idea what she meant. He felt she was just being insecure since he confessed out of the blue. “Selene,” He called. “You're my mate. The moon goddess gave you to me, and I love you. I don't care what others have to say, I don't care what other people think, you're the one I want. You're the one my heart year
90.THE UNDERWORLDDamon appeared and clicked his tongue as he walked to Hades throne. As he walked by, the demons bowed to him. He was also a respected force in the underworld and was like a second in command to Hades. Hades usually sent him on the most difficult missions.He was a ruthless demon with no remorse for life. We could say he was a playboy as well. He toyed with goddesses and demons, and often got away with it. He wasn't a demon of seduction for nothing.“You're back.” Hades smiled as soon as he saw Damon.Damon bowed. “Yes, I am. I couldn't stand their chit and chatter and had to come here,” He scrunched up his face in disgust and Hades chuckled.Just then, Ares appeared.“You came just in time, Ares.” Hades smiled.“Today is prom. I need to know if that bastard confessed his love to the goddess.” Ares sighed and rubbed his forehead.Damon smiled. “Yes, he did,” “What about Selene? What was her reaction?” Ares asked.“At first, she didn't seem to accept it, but after a
142 ~ EPILOGUE A Few Weeks Later…The great hall of Mount Olympus was filled with a sense of joy and celebration as Zeus, addressed the gathering of immortals. "Today, we come together to mark a new era of understanding and cooperation between our divine selves and our friends, the werewolves. From this day forward, gods and goddesses will be permitted to mate with werewolves under the condition that they are chosen and fated mates."The hall erupted in cheers and applause, with many of the immortals standing to show their support.Zeus raised his hands to quiet the applause, his face beaming with pride. "I am proud to announce that the first such union will take place today between Selene, Goddess of the Moon, and Dominic, Alpha of the Golden Sword Pack. Their bond was given by the moon, and they have been chosen to be mates."Selene stepped forward, her eyes shining with love and gratitude. Beside her, Dominic stood tall and proud, his hand firmly entwined with Selene's."Thank yo
141.FINAL CHAPTER“Surrender the sword and relinquish your title, or watch your dear Dominic die by my hand.”Selene's eyes filled with tears as she looked between Dominic and Ares. Her heart was torn in two, her mind racing to find a way out. But she knew that there was no other way.What was she going to do?“Don’t listen to him, Selene,” Dominic said. “Do what you have to do to save the world and the people. Don’t worry about me. I have nothing to lose anymore. I have avenged my father’s death. I am finally free.”Tears rolled down Selene’s cheeks as she fell to her knees. She was so confused.Area scoffed. “Pathetic!” he stretched out his hand. “Hand over the sword… now!”Selene said nothing. She knelt there, her mind reeling with thoughts. “Moon,” she whispered. “What do I do? I love Dominic and I want to save everyone too. I can’t live without the other. Both have my heart so losing them would be losing myself as well,” she continued to whisper, her heart breaking with every wo
140."I didn't come to die," Selene said, her voice ringing with a clarity that surprised even her. "I came to end this. To end you."Ares laughed, a dark and chilling sound that sent a shiver down Selene's spine. "You think you can defeat me? Me, the God of War? You are nothing but a mere goddess."Selene straightened her shoulders, her stance unwavering. "I may be a goddess, but I'm not alone," Selene corrected, her hand tightening around the hilt of the godkiller sword. "My fellow gods are here, and we will end your reign of terror once and for all."Ares' sneer twisted into a scowl. "Goddess or not, you stand no chance against me. But if you wish to die by my hand, I am happy to oblige." he chuckled. “But first, let’s see those fellow gods of yours you seemed to trust so much.”Area smirked as the gods who had taken his side appeared. Poseidon and Demeter. Selene had expected to see Apollo amongst them but he wasn’t there.When Ares saw the gods, his eyes narrowed. “Where are the
139.With a sudden burst of speed, Dominic lunged forward, his claws extended and his fangs bared. Alpha Draco reacted quickly, parrying the attack with his sword and countering with a swift thrust of the blade.Dominic twisted to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack, and launched another assault, his claws raking at Alpha Draco's arm. The old man cried out in pain, but he refused to back down.The two were locked in a fierce battle, the sound of their weapons clashing echoing through the trees.As the battle raged on, both Dominic and Alpha Draco began to tire, their attacks becoming slower and less precise.Dominic, sensing that his opponent was weakening, lunged forward, his claws aiming for Alpha Draco's throat. But the old man was not as helpless as he seemed.With a grunt of effort, Alpha Draco brought his sword down, severing Dominic's arm at the elbow. The young wolf howled in pain, stumbling backwards and clutching at the wound.Blood dripped onto the forest floor, staining
138.As per Selene's instructions, Artemis and Aphrodite were able to unite the remaining gods, who didn't get manipulated by Ares. Hermes, Hephaestus, Athena and Dionysus.They had their plan already drafted out but some of the gods wasn't sure it was going to work."Aren't we putting everybody in danger by doing this?" Athena asked.Selene sighed. "People are already in danger, Athena. The sky is black, Ares takeover has begun and we can't let him finish it. If we don't stop him today, everyone will get hurt. We will all become his slave.""I have zero interest in being any body's slave, thank you." Dionysus said with his legs crossed.Hephaestus came with a sword and gave it to Selene. "This is the godkiller sword you asked me to make," he said. "Make sure you don't blow your chances. It's not that easy to make."Selene took it and smiled. "Thank you so much."They heard the sound of thunder and rushed out. They looked up and their eyes widened.The sky above them burned with an a
137."Hurry! We have to get out of here!" Matilda yelled at the horseman who was carrying her and her father in the carriage. After Selene exposed them, she didn't wait to see whether Dominic would come for them or not.She rushed home and told her father everything. Now they were on the run because no doubt, Dominic will come for them soon to avenge the death of his father.Alpha Draco buried his face in his palms. "I never planned for all this to happen, Matilda. We were supposed to lure him into marrying you, kill him and his mother and take over the pack. How did everything go wrong?" he couldn't believe the plan he had plotted for more than twenty years crashed as soon as he reached the peak.Matilda seethed. "Bloody Selene! Bloody moon goddess!" she yelled. If Selene hadn't revealed herself as the moon goddess and caused all these rubbish, she would have had Dominic in her palms.After a few minutes of cursing and wishing her luck were different, she turned to face her father. "
136. “Selene is the moon goddess? How is Selene the moon goddess?!” Bryce exclaimed, his eyes wide in shock. Naya smiled, her gaze fixed on them. “Yes, she is. She finally made the decision.” Bryce stared in confusion. “Why didn’t you tell me all those times you came to visit me in my room?” Dominic asked. “I didn’t know how and I wasn’t ready to take my powers away from you either. Taking my powers meant I’d never see you again. I didn’t want that.” she replied. “But you’ve taken them. Does this mean we’d never see each other again?” he asked but she looked away. “Selene,” he held her. “I love you. Moon goddess or not, I love you, Selene. Please, don’t leave me.” Ian and the other demons disappeared when they saw that Selene had transformed. Their plan had failed. Selene got rid of the shield and brought them back to the floor. “I’m sorry, Dominic. It’s what has to be done to bring stability back to the mortal world and the spiritual realm.” Dominic shook his head fr
135. Selene facepalmed. What the heck was wrong with Matilda? “I tried searching for you but your pack didn’t exist. What’s going on? Did I miss something?” he asked and Selene shook her head. “No. You didn’t. The pack was made up by me.” she lowered her head, it was now or never. Before Dominic could respond, Matilda beat him to it. “See! I told you! Oh and she has strange powers too, don’t you Selene?” she asked and Selene took in her bottom lip. “Dominic. Let’s just talk privately. I promise to tell you everything.” Selene tried to touch him but Matilda blocked her path. It annoyed Selene who was trying to put up with her. “What is your problem?!” she snapped. Matilda scoffed. “My problem is that you’re a cruel liar! You’re planning to manipulate Dominic into believing you but I won’t allow that. Do you have powers or not?” she yelled. “Yes, I do, what’s the big deal?” Selene yelled back. Students had already gathered and couldn’t believe what was happening. The sky was dark
134. After Selene convinced the girls and they left, she took a deep breath and crossed her legs again as she tried to gather her energy. She had no time and she knew she had to make the ultimate sacrifice, and that was to take her powers away from Dominic once and for all. If she had done that, all these wouldn’t have happened. She blamed herself for the chaos Ares was about to release in the werewolf world, and she knew she had to make things right - even if it meant losing the love of her life. She had chosen love over her duty and she was paying the price right now. She wouldn’t say she regretted it - she cherished every moment - but her regret was getting addicted to it. She should have left when she had the chance, now the world is in danger because of her. Selene sighed. At least she had something to do about it. All she had to do was meditate and regain her strength. Right now, she looked like a mess and couldn’t even recognize herself. Selene's eyelids fluttered close
