95.THAT EVENINGNaya followed Selene home to help her with her makeup and dress for the date that night. Selene had tried on more than five dresses, but Naya was not satisfied with any of them.“I want something that when he sees it, his eyes would pop.” Nadia winked at Selene, causing her to chuckle lightly.“I understand where you're headed, but the clothes I've tried on are already in that category.” “No, I'm sure there's more,” Naya reached into Selene's wardrobe and flipped through another stack of clothes. “I wonder why you have plenty of clothes like this and still choose to dress however you like for class.” She huffed.Selene just chuckled. “I'm not much of a dresser.”“Luckily, I'm here today.” She smiled and brought out a red handless gown with a side cut that reached you to Selene's waist. Selene's eyes widened on seeing the dress. She had no idea how that dress came there. She hadn't even seen it before.She shook her head when she suddenly realized that it was all Artem
96.Selene's mouth widened as they pulled over at the parking lot of the restaurant. Dominic got down from the car and opened the door for her. She stepped down as well, still looking around amazed by the restaurant. From the sign on the restaurant, she knew it was a French restaurant. She couldn’t believe did all these just for their date. “You did all these to for our first date?” She asked.“We're dating now. It's the best I can do for my mate,” He pecked her cheek and she blushed hard. “Come on, let's go in.” Dominic smiled and led her into the restaurant.When they got in, they were taken to a table that was reserved just for them. Selene looked around, admiring the view and the soft music that played in the background.“Wow,” She smiled as she took another look around. “This place is beautiful!” She exclaimed.Dominic was glad that she loved it. He had worked his butt off to pick the perfect place for the date. After Naya gave him the names of the restaurants the other time, he
97.“Dominic,” Selene breathed as he trailed kisses down her neck. She knew she shouldn't be doing this, but right now, it's like she was no longer controlling her body and mind.“Let's stop, please. This isn't right, Dominic.” She pleaded, but Dominic wasn't in the mood to let her go anymore.She was his, and he wanted to claim her. “I want you, Selene. I want you fucking so much!” He took her lips in another searing hot kiss, and she could feel her resolve weakening.His kisses were setting her body on fire, and as much as she didn't want to do this, a part of her kept screaming for her to do it. He was her mate, after all.And so, she let herself go, reciprocating the kiss and allowing him to do those dirty things to her. She wanted to know what it felt like to be devoured by your mate. The last time this happened, she was drunk and had no idea, but this time, she was conscious and eager for him to fill her.When Dominic saw that she had finally given in, he carried her in bridal st
98.Dominic pulled the duvet from her face and cupped her cheeks. She couldn't bring herself to look into his eyes. She was so embarrassed after what happened.He smiled and pecked her lips. “You don't have to be ashamed or feel embarrassed. You're mine anyway. I'm your mate.” He assured her, but she shook her head.“You don't understand, Dominic. I feel so ashamed of myself right now. I should have controlled myself.” She facepalmed.Dominic sighed. “Are you trying to say you didn't like what happened between us last night?” He sounded hurt and she sighed. “I thought we were on the same page when it happened. I had no idea I was forcing—”“No,” She interrupted him. “You didn't force me. I did it out of my own free will because I loved you. I'm not saying I dislike it. It's just that…” She trailed off and dabbed her index fingers together. “It's just that I have gotten a taste, and it tastes so good I might crave it even when I leave this world, Dominic.” She replied.Dominic suddenly
99.MOONLIGHT PACKNaya's gaze remained outside as the maids dressed her up to meet the prince. The queen wanted them to meet for the last time before the ceremony tonight; an idea that didn't go well with Naya at all. They were going to see each other during the engagement ceremony, what's with meeting him again? She found all this annoying and hoped to just disappear from there.“Your highness, you have to look here for me to be able to do your makeup properly.” One of the maids tending to her requested. With Maya's gaze outside, they couldn't do the makeup properly. They had contemplated within themselves before asking her to avoid getting punished.“What's the use of looking good when someone isn't happy?” She sucked in a breath and adjusted in her seat so they could continue with the makeup.The maid shook her head. She felt really bad for the princess, but that's just where she could stop. She had no right to speak or share her opinions on important matters like this unless she's
100.“Selene,” Bryce called as his eyes narrowed at her. What he hated most in his life was to be called a coward.Selene looked at him, her eyes glued to his face. She didn't give a fuck about whether he liked being called a coward or not. She would do anything to make sure Naya gets out of this mess called an engagement ceremony.“I won't appreciate you calling me a coward.”“Coward!” She called again and Bryce balled his fists. “If you don't like to be called a coward, then stop acting like one!” She snapped at him. “Do you have any idea the amount of damage your carelessness and negligence can cause?” She asked.“There's nothing I can do. I stand no chance, please understand me.”“I refuse to understand you. You're being a coward by running away from your problems when you should face them head on. You're a man, not a woman. You should be strong enough to fight for your love. Do you want to lose her because of fear?” She asked.Bryce tried to speak, but she raised her hand to stop
101.Naya released a breath she had no idea she was holding. She couldn't believe Bryce actually came. She looked up to the sky as tears rolled down her cheeks.“Thank you, Moon goddess.” She muttered to herself and glanced at Selene, who smiled at her in return.The Alpha stood to his feet as he looked at Bryce. “How dare you commit such an abomination? How dare you lowly wolf call my daughter your mate!” He snapped, but Bryce didn't flinch.After what Selene told him, he realized that she was right about him being a coward. He had worried too much about what others would think that he almost lost Naya. He realized just how much he would be doomed if he allowed this engagement to take place, and so before he came, he was prepared for whatever was going to be thrown at him.He walked to where Naya sat with Prince Leonard and turned to face the Alpha, who was literally burning in rage. He was finally going to seal the deal, and some random dude just burst out of nowhere and claimed his
102.Naya sucked in a breath as she walked into the throne room. Her father was seated with his legs folded as he tapped his hand on the rail of the throne vigorously. He had a sour expression on his face. Naya knew that he was mad. Her mother was seated beside him, trying to calm him down.“Father,” She called, approaching him. “I'm sorry.”“You disgraced me, Naya. You made a fool out of me in front of everyone. How could you claim a classless wolf is your mate?” He snapped at her, his eyebrows furrowing to show his anger.Naya sighed. “That's because he is my mate, father. I love him; I have always loved Bryce, Father. Don't you want me to be with someone I'd be happy with? I'm not concerned about his class or his status. As long as he has Alpha blood flowing through his veins, he is capable of being called my mate. Don't hate him because he is a beta, and don't use that to judge him either. I don't care about all those. All that matters is our love for each other.” She explained an
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
