49.

“I…” She trailed off and sighed. “I'm sorry.” She apologized and lowered her head.

“I don't need your apology right now, Selene. You lied to me!” He snapped.

“I never meant to,” She responded. “I never had the intention to either. I just… didn't want to show my strength,” She said.

“If you had shown your strength, it would have made things easier for me, Selene. Why did you lie to me?” He asked.

Dominic couldn't believe it. He knew that was why she persuaded him and made him think he was drunk. Just when he had started owning up to the feelings he had for her.

“I'm sorry. Like I said before, guys like frail and weak women. I did that to fit in.” She explained.

“Why?” He snapped.

“Because I like you,” She confessed, and his eyes widened. “Because I like you and I didn't want to lose you. I thought that if I showed my strength, you would hate me, and that's why I hid it.” She replied.

“How do I know you're not lying to me now? How do I know you're not pretending, Selene? Just when I

    50.“What is wrong?” Naya asked when she saw Selene walking into the class angrily.She thought things didn't go well with the principal. Bryce noticed her mood as well.“Where's Dominic?” Bryce asked, but she said nothing.Naya exchanged looks with Bryce and stood from her seat, then sat beside Selene. “Hey, babe, what's going on?” She asked.“I don't want to talk about it.” Selene answered.“You don't? Why? Did you get expelled?” Naya asked.Selene shook her head. “No, I didn't but something else happened, and I don't want to talk about it.” She answered.Naya was still trying to persuade her when she overheard the students gisting among themselves.“I heard she returned yesterday.” One said.“Typical Matilda. Always likes making a grand entrance. She should have come in the morning, but she decided to come now.” The other one scoffed.“That's not even why I'm annoyed. Can you imagine, she hugged Dominic and even pecked his cheek?” “What did Dominic do?”“He didn't push her away lik

    51.“Mother, why didn't you tell me Matilda was back?” Dominic asked the minute he got home. After school, he had looked for Selene everywhere, but couldn't find her. And just when he was about to walk out of the school gate and head to her place to explain things to her, Matilda pulled him away, so they could go get ice cream.While they were taking the ice cream, his thoughts were elsewhere and when Matilda realized he wasn't paying attention to her, she got angry and asked him to take her home. She knew quite well that it was because of Selene, but heck was she going to leave her man for someone else.Queen Bathsheba smiled. “She said she'd tell you herself. Oh, you've met her?” She asked.“Yes.” He answered.“How did you feel?” She asked excitedly.“I felt shocked because I wasn't expecting her to come this soon.” He sighed.“But she's here now and that's all that matters. Besides, her father said she'd be coming this week, so what's the shock about?” She chuckled and Dominic sigh

    52.“Selene, we're forbidden from loving mortals.” Artemis scolded her.“Do you think it's my fault? I don't know how it happened. I just found myself falling for him.” Selene facepalmed.“I'm not against your feelings, Selene. I'm just thinking about what Zeus is going to say if he finds out you've fallen in love with him. I know love can not be forced, which means you fell for him naturally, but it's bad. Love can make you do things you wouldn't do when you're in the right state of mind.” Aphrodite cautioned.Selene sighed. “I know, and I'm trying my best to kill it.” She said,“It can't be killed or avoided, Selene. It's love.” Aphrodite placed her hand on Selene's shoulder.Artemis groaned. “You're not helping matters, Aphrodite.”“I'm telling her the plain truth, baby girl. Look at her! Look what love has turned the almighty moon goddess to?” She chuckled and Selene glared at her.“Look, Selene, you'd have to kill the love and accomplish your mission. I don't know how you're goin

    53.Selene appeared in Dominic's room and saw him sprawled on the bed, sleeping soundly. She chuckled when she saw his sleeping posture.“He must have had a hectic day,” She muttered and smiled. “He's cute. I feel like taking a picture,” She muttered again and moved closer, staring at him.Lying beside him was Bryce. Selene thought of how to make Dominic wake up without waking Bryce as well.She was about to touch him when something caught her attention. Bending to take a closer look, she saw something glowing on his forehead. Using her powers to move his hair to the back, she gasped.“The moon symbol… How did it get here?” She asked no one in particular and continued to stare at it. She placed her hand on her forehead and hers glowed as well.As the moon symbol glowed on her forehead, she felt a rush of energy in her veins. Her powers were calling out to her. She tried to draw them in from him but it didn't work.Dominic sensed a presence in the room and his eyes fluttered open. His

    54.“Another day,” Selene muttered to herself as she stepped into the buzzling hallways. Everywhere seemed lively and busy that particular day and she wondered why.Was it because she came late today or something else was going on? She saw students hanging out in groups of twos and threes having a nice time.She ignored them and walked to her locker. Placing her books in them and picking the ones she was having that morning, she came across a note in her locker.She skimmed through the note and boldly written on it was; 'I'm coming for you, Selene.'She blinked and wondered who the heck left such a note in her locker. Who was coming for her and what did she do? Someone collected the note from her and she turned to see Dominic.“What's this?” He asked but she collected it back from him.“It's nothing,” She closed her locker and turned to leave but Dominic dragged her back.“Are you mad at me?” He asked.“No, we're cool.” She answered and wanted to yank her hands away from him but he st

    55.“Calm down, Matilda.” Yvonne cooed.“Don't tell me to calm down!” Matilda snapped at her. “She's trying to take him away from me, can't you see it?” She yelled.She couldn't believe that after spending some months overseas and wishing to come back and spend time with Dominic, he chose a nobody over her.“You know Dominic too well, Matilda. You're the one he likes. He's someone who keeps to his word and that's why he took Selene instead.” Daphne defended.“Today is special. This is the only day we could have actually spent some quality time together without being interrupted by parents. Why would he choose today of all days to spend time with that bitch?” She questioned with balled fists.Yvonne and Daphne sighed. They knew there was nothing they could do to stop Matilda from yelling, so they just let her vent out her anger.“I'll make sure she pays. Even if Dominic doesn't like her, I am sure she likes him and I won't sit down and watch her take Dominic away from me. I'm not going

    56."Dominic," Queen Bathsheba called when he wanted to walk past her to his room.Dominic stopped in his tracks and turned to face her. He knew pretty well what his mother was going to say."Yes, mother." He answered and she sighed."Alpha Draco called." She said and Dominic sighed, walking back to his mother and taking a seat on the couch."What did he say?" He asked."He said Matilda came home crying that you chose another girl over her. Why in the world would you do a thing like that?" She questioned."I chose the right person and besides, I already promised to go out with the girl that day. Should I break my promise because I want to make someone else happy?" He asked and Queen Bathsheba sighed, shaking her head."Dominic." She called."I'm 20, mum. I'm 20 years old. Stop acting like I'm still a child. I can take care of myself, okay? I can take care of my affairs as well. Also, I have accepted my mate and don't want anything to do with Matilda anymore." He revealed and she gasped

    57.THE NEXT DAY...Selene walked into the school. Her mood was gloomy as the discussion she had last night with Artemis and Aphrodite replayed in her head. How on Earth do they expect her to kill her love for him when he had become a huge part of her life?She couldn't bring herself to do that. she thought she would never fall in love. She thought her heart would open to no one and that was why she devoted her life as the moon goddess to helping others get their mates and the rest.Presently, she just realized that he was truly her mate and whatever had been happening wasn't because of her powers in him. She could collect her powers but those feelings would still be there. How was she going to handle all these? Falling in love wasn't the plan. Craving for his presence and touch wasn't the plan, either. Why didn't her heart listen to her? Why did it start beating for him? This was more like a forbidden kind of love stuff. She knew Zeus won't accept but she had no choice.Last night af

    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

    133. Selene took a deep breath, feeling the cool air fill her lungs. The scent of blooming flowers and fresh earth enveloped her, a welcome change from the stagnant air of the time loop. She looked around, taking in her surroundings. The familiar landscape of the world she has come to love unfolded before her – the towering trees, the shimmering lake, and the majestic palace in the distance. But something felt off. The air was thick with an eerie silence. The trees seemed to loom over her, their branches like skeletal fingers reaching for the sky. Selene's senses tingled, her moon goddess instincts on high alert. Ares's influence. She could feel it, a dark energy spreading like a stain across the land. Selene's determination hardened. She had to stop Ares, no matter the cost. With a swift motion, she summoned her powers. The moon responded, its light bursting forth in a radiant beam. Selene's eyes gleamed with resolve. “I will not let you take over, Ares. I know you can hear me

    132. “The takeover will begin tomorrow. I already have all the powers in my grasp. And Zeus being in meditation made it even easier.” Ares chuckled as he spoke with Hades. Hades laughed hysterically. “You know, I might have underestimated you a little bit. You turned the gods and goddesses against the moon goddess and captured her. Now you want to take over her world. You’re smart, I give you that.” Ares smiled, his eyes gleaming with triumph. "Elementary, my dear Hades. Divide and conquer. The moon goddess's isolation made her vulnerable. Now, with her out of the way, nothing stands between me and the throne." Hades nodded, his dark eyes sparkling with intrigue. "And what of the other gods and goddesses? Will they not suspect your hand in this?" Ares waved his hand dismissively. "They're too busy fighting each other, thanks to my subtle manipulations. By the time they realize what's happening, I'll be the one holding the reins." Hades chuckled, his deep voice rumbling. "You've c

    131. Apollo reappeared in Selene's house with the girls and Artemis paced back and forth wearily. "We have to report this to Zeus. He is the only one who can save Selene. He's the only one who can bring us out from this mess." Apollo shook his head. "Zeus is currently meditating and you know how it works. We can't disturb him." Aphrodite stood to her feet. "What are we going to do then? Watch Ares have his way? He has already turned the people against the moon goddess. The world is slowing slipping into his palms. Zeus's meditations takes days and my patience is wearing thin. I can't wait that long." "Disrupting his meditation is as good as dying and you know the rules. I believe he is seeing everything that's happening and will be back to put Ares in his place." "By then, Ares would have taken over and gotten strong. Fuck all these!" Artemis snapped, raising her hands in the air. “Zeus can handle him. You don’t have to worry about that.” he tried to touch her but she yanked his

    130. Artemis paced, frustration lining her features. "We've heard nothing from Selene. She went to speak with Ares, and now both are missing." she threw her hands in the air. She was very worried about Selene. Aphrodite's brow furrowed, concern etched on her face. "The gods aren't responding. It's as if they're hiding something." "What do we do? We can't just sit and watch. We have no idea what happened and how she suddenly vanished. Selene wouldn't go anywhere without letting us know, would she?" Artemis covered her face with her palms, her mind racing with possibilities of where Selene could actually be. Just then, Apollo appeared before them, his radiant aura dimmed. Artemis spun, her eyes blazing. "Apollo, where is Selene? I know you're involved in this!" she snapped, the anger evident in her voice. Aphrodite stood up as well, mirroring Artmis' expression. Apollo's expression turned somber. "Artemis, please—" "Don't 'please' me!" Artemis interrupted. "You've always had fee
