33.“You want me to pay for your ice cream?” He asked her, emphasizing on the word “your”Selene rolled her eyes. “Duh, didn't you bring me here?” She asked and his eyes widened.“You literally dragged me to this place.” He folded his hands.“So, are you trying to tell me that you can't pay for a lady's food?” She frowned.“It's not like that.” He facepalmed.“Then it's like what?” She asked, feigning annoyance. “Fine, fine.” He muttered and brought out his credit card then gave it to the man. “What about you, aren't you going to take some?” She questioned and didn't wait for him to answer. “Sir, give him whatever flavour he wants.” She requested and the man looked at Dominic to confirm if he wanted one or not.Dominic sighed. “Give me the same flavour as hers.” He requested as well and his was scooped and given to him.The man swiped his card and handed it over to him. Selene dragged him to a bench and they sat down. “Thanks for the ice cream.” She beamed but he didn't answer her.
34.“You ditched school just to get ice cream and have fun?” Bryce asked after he returned from school that day and met Dominic at the dining.“Yes, and I don't regret it one bit.” He answered.“What! When did that start? You hate ditching school. Don't tell me that mate of yours has started influencing you badly.” He folded his hands.“Aren't you hungry?” Dominic asked, pointing to the plate of food in front of Bryce.“What I'm talking about now is more important.” He retorted.“Than food?” Dominic chuckled.“What's wrong with you?” Bryce asked.“Nothing. It turns out going out was all I needed. I feel much better and my anger has died down,” He said as he remembered what he and Selene did. The girl was wierd but she sure knew how to cheer someone up. Before he realized it, he was already lost, thinking about her. He could swear that he was trying to control himself with her acting cute like that. He didn't want to repeat the mistake of kissing her again.Bryce stared at his friend a
35.“Come on, Selene, you've got to tell me what happened between you two.” Naya nudged Selene and she sighed.Ever since she returned to the classroom, Naya had been pestering her to spill what she did with Dominic after ditching school the previous day. She keeps trying to tell Naya that nothing happened but Naya was way inquisitive and won't listen. She believed something happened between Selene and Dominic and would stop at nothing to drag the truth out of Selene's mouth.“It's nothing.” Selene answered but Naya wasn't convinced.“You've got to tell me. I know you're lying. You can't ditch school and tell me you didn't have fun together.” She folded her hands and glared at Selene.“Well…” Selene trailed off, not knowing where to start from.“Uh-huh, I'm listening.” Naya waited to hear what she had to say with an excited glint evident in her eyes.“We ate ice cream and had fun in the amusement park while talking about random things. That's all.” She answered with a shrug and Naya c
36.After everyone left the place, Selene still sat there, thinking about what Bryce had told her. “There's no way I'm in love with him, right? I mean, I don't think about him all the time, and I don't wish to see him everyday either. I'm just with him to take my powers back and leave this place for good. There's nothing else happening to me, right?” She questioned herself.Now, she wasn't even sure about her feelings anymore. With a sigh, she folded her hands and looked around the place. Maybe it was just a phase and it'll be over soon; maybe it was her powers in him messing with her; or maybe it was… “Love?” She scoffed to herself. “Oh, please!” “Selene?” Naya called and she turned with a start.“How long have you been here?” She asked.Naya sighed and sat with her. “Long enough to hear you babbling gibberish to yourself. Are you okay?” Naya placed her hand on Selene's shoulder.Selene sighed and massaged her forehead. “I'm fine. Just thinking about a lot.” She answered.“Whateve
37.“W… What do you mean?” She stuttered.“I only asked a simple question and you already look like someone with a gun pointed to her head. You're training to become a Luna, aren't you?” He asked and she nodded. “What's the name of your pack?” He asked.Selene couldn't believe he would ask her such a question. But she wasn't going to let him get to her.“Why do you want to know?” She folded her hands and glared at him.“Because I'm curious.” He answered. He couldn't comprehend why she was being nervous. He could see her nervousness even though she was trying so hard to hide it.“Are you do real right now? What's your business with my pack?” She asked and he chuckled. “Besides, am I not allowed to stay here?” She asked.“Oh yes, of course you are but as the Alpha of this pack, I need to know where its inhabitants are from.” He answered with a smirk.“I come from a far away pack. I can't go to school from there, so I decided to rent an apartment here. Are you happy now?” She scoffed.“N
38.Selene couldn't believe that Queen Bathsheba actually saw her that day. She thought she was invisible, and the woman didn't even act like she had seen her.“Should I leave my story for another day? You look confused.” He said, and she forced a smile.“No, please continue.” She answered.“Well, mother said she didn't want to distract the moon goddess because the moon goddess looked at me with so much love in her eyes. She believed the moon Goddess blessed me that day, and that's why she hoped I'd become an Alpha better than my father.” He concluded.“Wow!” Selene exclaimed. Even his mother saw the love she had for the baby. She thought no one saw her, but the woman did. As she looked back at Dominic, the love she felt for that baby came again. Why she felt that way, she didn't understand until now. How come is she visible when she thought she was invisible? There was something about Dominic that she couldn't quite place her fingers on.She had touched and blessed babies in her time
39.“Do you think I would disclose my plans to you, Selene? Wow! Your arrogance grows by the day.” Ares chuckled and Selene clenched her fists.“You'd better talk, Ares. I know you're up to something and I swear if you bring Apollo into this, I won't spare you.” She threatened and he laughed.“Spare me? Ha! I'm the one doing the sparing here. If you beg me enough, I might be lenient and not end your life when I take your position.” He smirked.“Only in your dreams!” She snapped.“I have plans, Selene. I have big plans that you don't expect even in your entire life as the moon goddess. I'd remain on earth if I were you, that way, you'd be able to escape what's coming.” He warned.“I am not a coward.” She responded.“Neither am I.” He smirked.Selene stood and watched him for a while. If only she knew what the heck was going on in his mind? Right now, her powers were limited and she knew better than to get into a fight with him this time.With a sigh, she took a step back.“Never turn yo
40.The next day at school, Selene couldn't help but feel gloomy. She tried to take the thoughts off her mind but they kept coming. Each day, it was as if she was getting weaker and it was bothering her alot.She had come to class earlier than usual, since she couldn't help but think about the incidents at home but here wasn't helping matters either.She sighed and rested her head on the desk.“What else do I do? I've done everything I saw was right. Why isn't it working? Why hasn't he fallen for me yet?” She asked no one in particular and someone tapped the table.She looked up and was surprised to see Bryce. He smirked at her, causing her to facepalm internally. He must have heard what she said.“So, who's that guy you're trying to make fall for you? It's my friend, isn't it?” He asked and she scoffed.“You wish.” She huffed.“I'm sure he's the one. Why else would you be muttering things to yourself early in the morning?” He asked with a chuckle.She was about to deny it but an idea
