117. Selene couldn't believe what she was hearing. “Your mum wants to see me? But why?” she asked, the shock still evident on her face. Why on earth? “Why not? You're my mate, of course.” he smiled and intertwined their fingers. Selene was nervous. She didn't know if she was ready to meet his mother yet. “I don't know, Dominic. I'm not sure I'm ready for this,” Selene said, her voice laced with uncertainty. “Hey, it's okay. My mother is a great person. She just wants to meet you because I've been talking about you nonstop,” Dominic reassured her, his eyes sparkling with amusement. Selene took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay, fine. But if she doesn't like me, I'm blaming you,” she joked, trying to hide her nervousness. Dominic chuckled and squeezed her hand. “Don't worry, she'll love you. Now, let's get to class before we're late.” As they walked into the classroom, Ms. Lily greeted them with a warm smile. “Good morning, class. Today, we have a special announcement. Tomo
118. Selene's eyes widened as they drove into the palace compound. She was the moon goddess and she actually knew how magnificent a palace looked like but right now, she was thrilled to finally see it in person. Dominic might not know her identity and his mother might not either, but she hoped Queen Bathsheba would accept her. They got out of the car and she looked around. It was night but she saw everything clearly. The exterior of the palace was breathtaking, with tall spires and grand architecture that seemed to shimmer in the moonlight. Selene felt a sense of awe wash over her as Dominic led her towards the entrance. As they stepped inside, Selene's eyes adjusted to the opulent interior. The palace was even more magnificent than she had imagined, with lavish furnishings and intricate artwork adorning the walls. Dominic smiled, noticing her wonder. "Welcome to my home," he said, his voice filled with pride. Selene smiled back. "It's beautiful," she said, her voice barely above
119. The next evening, Selene was meditating when a heavy wind blew and her eyes snapped open. To her greatest shock, the moon was out and it was already full, illuminating the sky with its powerful glow. Her eyes widened. Selene couldn't believe the moon was literally out. She stared at the light that reflected and sprayed its rays through the window. She could feel her powers calling out to her, begging her to come take them. The emergence of the moon seemed to awaken every tingling senses she had in her, and she felt more powerful. The moon was still going to be active for a few days, meaning she still had time to talk to Zeus and hasten him up to know what his decision would be about. The only thing she needed from him was a go ahead. Artemis and Aphrodite appeared immediately. “Selene!” They called and she turned to face them. “I know. The full moon is out,” she sighed and ruffled her hair. The goddesses shared worried looks. “What are your going to do now?” Artemis asked.
120. Selene couldn't help the hurt she was feeling right now. Dominic just stared at her without saying a word. He was literally bubbling with excitement and was happy that finally, the moon goddess would take her powers and he would finally be free, normal like other wolves as well. Selene on the other hand took a deep breath to steady her hurting heart. The moon was covered with clouds and she suddenly disappeared, reappearing in her room where Artemis and Aphrodite were waiting for her. Dominic looked around his room and sighed. He wondered why she disappeared without telling him how they were going to go about sucking her powers back into her. When she appeared back into the room, Artemis and Aphrodite were already there waiting for her. They rushed to her as she went to sit on her bed, her expression dejected. "What happened to you? We tried our best to track you down but it didn't work. What's going on? Where did it take you?" Artemis asked, worry etched on her features. Se
121. The next day, Selene walked into the school, her bag hung over her shoulder. She had been shocked to see that the moon symbol no longer wanted to stay in hiding. Shockingly, she woke up this morning to realize that it wasn't invisible during the day anymore. It might be barely noticeable since it wasn't glowing, but it was there and could be seen by anyone if they stared at her for too long. As she navigated the crowded hallways, she couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. The moon symbol on her forehead, once hidden, now seemed to pulsate with a gentle hum. She styled her hair to partially conceal it, but she knew it was only a matter of time before someone noticed. Dominic, standing by his locker, caught her eye. Their gazes met, and for a fleeting moment, Selene thought she saw a flicker of recognition. But it vanished, replaced by his usual warm smile. "Hey, Selene!" Dominic called out, waving her over. Selene's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't planned on talking to
122. Dominic and Selene walked into the classroom together, their hands entwined. All eyes were on them instantly and the students began admiring their hairdos. People knew they were together but matching hairdos was a couple goals. Selene and Dominic exchanged glances. It wasn't that bad then. They might have done this hairdo because of the secret they both have to hide, but it didn't feel that bad and overwhelming anymore. They had to own it and for the first time since this morning, Dominic relaxed and smiled at Selene. Selene exhaled and smiled back. The classes started and the professor announced that there would be a swimming class the next day. She made it clear it was a must to attend the class as it would make you half of their continuous assessment that semester. The students were excited but Selene was unbothered. This wasn't her problem or focus right now. They went through the day peacefully without their powers acting up and when Dominic and Bryce went to train, N
123. After school... Dominic realized he hadn't actually spent more time with Selene today decided to make it up to her by taking her to her favorite ice cream shop. As they walked into the colorful ice cream shop, Selene's face lit up with excitement. Dominic couldn't help but smile at her enthusiasm. They had been so busy with school and other activities that it was nice to take a break and enjoy each other's company. "Hey, what's your flavor today?" Dominic asked, nudging her playfully. Selene scanned the menu, her eyes widening at the endless options. "Hmm, I think I'll go with strawberry cheesecake. What about you?" Dominic chuckled. "I want to try something new. I'll go with chocolate chip cookie dough." They ordered their ice cream and found a cozy spot by the window. As they savored their treats, they chatted about their day, sharing stories and laughter. Selene giggled, forgetting her problem for a while. "I can't believe Mr. Johnson's haircut. It looks like he stuck
124. NEXT DAY... Swimming Class… The students all lined up at the back of the swimming pool with their swimsuits on. Most of the girls used that opportunity to wear revealing suits that would seduce the boys present. Selene was still in the dressing room with Naya. She wasn't comfortable wearing the swimsuits and Naya sighed. “Babe, it's no big deal. Are you scared of water?” she asked, amused that the moon goddess would be scared of something. Selene shook her head. “I'm not scared of water. Why would I be scared of something I can manipulate?” she sighed. “It's just that I find these swimsuits disturbing. Isn't there a way I can skip today's class? Afterall, my grades here don't matter anyway.” Naya shook her head. “But you need the experience, my dear, so step into one of these or better still, change it into something you would be able to wear. You have the power to do that, don't you?” Selene smiled and was about to say something when Matilda walked in. “What powers is
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
